    R.I.P. Mav 3 Pro

    Flying less than 300 feet away over water that was not still (had ripples) my Mav 3 Pro was about 20 feet over the river when, according to a fisherman that was looking directly at it, it "flipped over and dove straight into the river". I thought for a moment I had just lost connection for...

    More tariffs questions

    It's my understanding that currently there is a 145% tariff on goods over $800 from China. DJI's prices have not reflected that at all but I understand that the enterprise drones are no longer available. If you order a Mavic 3 Pro now at $2199 (or whatever) will you as the consumer be required...

    No more American made drones?

    Apparently China has had enough of our stupidity and decided to tighten their own screws. It must makes me chuckle. Skydio (however it's spelled) must be grimmacing. Intensification of the trade war: China blacklists US drone companies

    Obstacle sensors dont work

    Not just good light, but something with contrast.

    DJI Flysafe says they are longer locking restrictions 1 mile from a regional airport

    Connect your controller to your computer and run the DJI app..which for most people is DJI Assistant 2(Consumer Drones Series). Try updating through that method.

    What drone do you use the most?

    mav3 pro then Avata 2. I also have a mav3, Avata, FPV and Mini 4 Pro but the Mav3Pro and Avata 2 definitely get most of the air time at this point.

    Dilemma- I'm 86 and my M3 is out of Care Fresh today

    I rarely use my Mav3 since I have the Mav3 Pro but it's nice to have a backup. I kept my Avata in spite of having the Avata 2. I let friends use both my Avata and Mav 3 at times.... If you don't need the money...just keep it :).
