    First flight at last...mini 4 pro

    I use a large velcro strap instead of the prop guard. Might give that a try and see if you like it.

    Learning to fly Mini 2 SE

    Watched a bunch of YouTube flight videos before I even purchased. Downloaded and read the manual a few times and got my TRUST certificate. Once I got my Mini 2 SE, I went through the flight tutorial that was presented on the DJI Fly app. Took baby steps the first few times flying until my...

    3 A handful of photos from last weekend's motorcycle tour in Idaho/Montana

    Nice pix. Just got back from a 2,300 mile MC ride myself but no drone photos.

    New Mini 4 Pro arrived!

    Got mine pretty quick. The DJI site originally said to be shipped 10/12, but got mine in less than 48 hours.

    Iffy build quality.

    I saw that in the photo afterwards (I have 65+ year old eyes!) -- however, that was not the propeller giving me issues at the time. I'll look again before my next test flight.

    Jittery screen ☹️

    I'm still testing mine out as time permits but I had similar issues with the RC-N2/Smartphone combo. Dropped frames, jitter, and the occasional pink bars on my phone. Had none of these issues with the same phone on a Mini 2 SE & RC-N1. I believe the 4's live feed is 1080 whereas the 2 SE's is...

    Iffy build quality.

    There is nothing to see on the propeller I removed. I did remove and inspect it. There was a tiny bit of thread locker under the propeller where it connects to the motor shaft. It was removed. I put the propeller back on and it moved freely. I then put the original screw back on the...

    Iffy build quality.

    Got my Mini 4 Pro today. One of the "A" propellers would not move freely. Had to replace it with one of the spares and that fixed it. I noticed that the propeller screw slots on the screw head from the spare package were definitely smaller than the others already installed on the drone. Test...

    Buying , or not buying ?. That is the question.

    It was an accidental discovery when I upgraded from a much older smartphone. My phone's Android OS has a feature called "Modes" so I created a 'Drone Mode'. The modes have a lot of configuration options. I have no experience with the RC controller but was concerned with some of the feedback...

    Buying , or not buying ?. That is the question.

    I'm using a Samsung S23 of which I configured it to automatically do the following when I plug into the controller: Launch the DJI Fly app Automatically brighten the screen Turn up the volume Go into an ignore mode for text messages, phone calls, etc. I can view the B4UFly app on the same...

    Buying , or not buying ?. That is the question.

    I ordered my Mini 4 Pro from DJI.com today but did not want the RC controller. So I ordered my own Fly More combo 'à la carte' as I wanted an RC-N2 controller as I prefer my phone as a display. Upgrading from my first drone I got this past July -- a Mini 2 SE. Reason for upgrading -- I wanted...

    Designed a fan mount to cool the Mini 3 Pro when doing FW updates

    Nice job and design. Have you considered using a 5V fan and power it from the charging hub? Just my $0.02 worth.

    Started drafting "investigation reports" for my incidents/crashes

    Sort of a Kathryn's Report -- except for drones.
