I think that’s solved for me. I had hundreds of hours of model aircraft experience, with notably dumb controllers, no actionable screens. Upon reflection, change of height is what gets my left hand all over screen. Problem solved. I have some running/sun protection gloves with distal fingers...

Is there a comparable command to get back to video feed without hitting the GoFly button? I tried various swipes. Would light glove on left hand prevent this?

Wow, that could be it! It happens early in flight, where my thumbs might be wandering. My wife watched me yesterday, and at one point it went to some other screen, maybe I had pondered transmission menu for as moment, gone back to video feed. Maybe I wont have to send this in. Does the first...

Yeah, I found my cable. Forgot it was USB C both ends. No better after refresh, though of course that was what DJI told me to do. Sending it in.

Will any USB cable do? I’ve been doing updates via RC controller. Will need USB C to USB C I think, wondering if any such data cable will do. Like what hooks my iPhone to CarPlay?

My Min 3 Pro works fine, but maybe once every minute or two, DJI Fly quits. The drone is still in control. My RC Controller goes back to a picture of a Mini 3, and I have to hit the go fly button to connect. The drone might be 50 yards away, or 300, 80 feet up or 150. I have good signal...

I tried on Air 2S. Slightly quieter and lower pitch. 1 or 2 mph faster. OTOH, they seemed to OFTEN cause some kind of safety mode: I would see red shading on screen, and turn rate became very slow. Repeatedly went away switching to stock, and returned when returning to MAS.

I used MAS props on my Air 2S. I found that the red ones often put the drone into a safety mode: it would turn painfully slow. I got a red shading on the display, seemed like a sensor “saw” the props as an obstacle. Repeatedl, problem came and went when I switched to and the away from MAS...

If all that is true, then one shouldn't fly drones in wedge-tail territory. Just as one shouldn't store food in their tent in grizzly territory. Specific knowledge is great, but over arching principles still apply. Why go to National parks and disturb wildlife? Some people would read original...

I disagree. An international rule of thumb is “If wildlife notices you, you’re too close”. Once he was noticed, he should have at least TRIED to retreat. We don’t have THAT video, so we can only speculate. The situation is asymmetric: Absent law enforcement, he is only risking his big...

To me, it seems like you were chasing them, after 2:00 mark. Flying to higher altitude then quick return would have avoided second and third encounter. https://pilotinstitute.com/drones-and-birds/

There was a new firmware for RC Pro today, “bug fixes”. Maybe DJI will be more stable.

I did read the manuals as above. Initially, it was not helpful as regards to what button to press/where to enter POI mode, for example. Many of the functions are only available in flight, so reading a more general manual didn’t allow me to practice on the ground. I was an early adopter, I...

I stupidly bought an Air 2S fly more combo with RC Pro controller as my first DJI drone ever. I say stupidly as all the video tutorials showed somebody with a slightly or vastly different remote than me. Somehow logged many safe hours, gradually learning more advanced nodes. I have had many...
