    New Mavic 3 won't link to RC Pro

    I had to unbind the drone from the original controller I was using to allow me to bind it to the new controller I had purchased, otherwise it wouldn't let me complete the process. So I went in on phone and original controller that came with the drone (running the DJI Fly app), went into my...

    Just passed my 107!

    Congratulations! Walking out with a passing test and that piece of paper makes all the studying and potential confusion leading up to the big day worth it!

    How many "not" having issues with the M3?

    Adding my name to the bucket of folks that haven't experienced issues so far. I purchased the M3 fly more combo and the RC Pro separately. I've flown in a local metro park outside of the main city and then in my neighborhood in the suburbs. I don't go super far out, usually 200 to 300 feet up...

    Columbus, Ohio

    Hi! I’m enjoying it. When it was still warm I got a nice time through all 3 battery charges for my maiden flights at the Scioto Grove Metro park. Flew again in my neighborhood too. Granted I don’t “push the limits” like some folks do but I haven’t experienced the issues that some have reported...

    Rc pro screen scratches

    I was concerned of the same and picked up a pack of these: RC Pro Glass Screen Protector Not sure if they’re available in the great north but I got them this week and I’m pleased. They’re a tight fit so you have to be careful and pretty exact with placement to avoid bubbles but I managed and...

    Any Previous Air 2S Owners?

    I had and still have both. I upgraded primarily for the tech/hardware, though I still like both drones for their own reasons. As far as upgrading solely for the camera? In my opinion, no, unless you require better low light performance and/or the adjustable aperture in your recreation or...

    New Mavic 3 won't link to RC Pro

    Once I was able to bind the RC Pro to the Mavic 3, it did give me a firmware update for both the drone and the controller. Both very small and quick, but I do remember thinking that binding them to one another seemed to unlock the magic of updates haha. I also found it easier to manage both via...

    New Mavic 3 won't link to RC Pro

    Without being totally sure of the connection error you're getting, I had the something similar happen when I bought my RC Pro separately. What I ended up having to do was go into the DJI Fly App on the original bundled RC 1 with whatever visual device (phone/tablet) I used at the time. Then...

    Calling All Mac M-Series Chip Users!

    I've got the 16" M1 Pro, 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB SSD, so the one that retails for $2,699 USD. While it works perfectly, I kind of wish I would have spent the extra money and went M1 Max with 32 GB RAM. I say that based on the fact that last weekend I edited a 4K60 H.265 video in Final Cut Pro...

    Hey All, Looks like this might be reviving a dead thread in a slow section of the forum but wanted to say “hi” from Canal Winchester!

    3 Legal footage from large fire here in Denver

    Wow this is one of those videos that drives the emotional roller coaster for me. Love the video itself but my heart sinks for the folks that lost so much. Thanks for sharing, I’m quite grateful I haven’t had to experience loss like that.

    RC Pro Fixes Needed

    I picked up the RC Pro this past week to go along with the Mavic 3. While I’m in 7th heaven with the controls and screen, I do agree that it’s frustrating I can’t just run off and bind it to my Air 2S directly so I can pick up either and fly when I want. Fingers crossed for soon!

    iPad Pro will not connect to Mavic 3 Controller Via USB C

    So far, no issues. I took a couple pictures to show how it fits behind the antenna. I have placed my phone in the holder as well as a tablet mount. Here’s the tablet holder I’ve been using: Tablet Holder on Amazon

    iPad Pro will not connect to Mavic 3 Controller Via USB C

    Wanted to just add my experience, which has been working well so far, no connection issues or errors. I have a 2021 11-inch iPad Pro, M1 chip, 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM, and operating on iPad OS 15.2. Currently using the RC-N1 that came with the Mavic 3 Fly More combo and have the latest...
