    Buying a Mini 3 Pro (RC-N1): DJI site v Amazon UK

    Always found Amazon returns the safest of all online retailers - personally I would much prefer amazon than direct from DJI.

    some guy doing an FCC hack permanent for RC pro Controller

    Sounds worth the money, especially if you get the local install files so can re-patch your controller easily every time you do a DJI update.

    some guy doing an FCC hack permanent for RC pro Controller

    Be interested to know the result, assuming you get FCC then should be a nice improvement. Do you get a local install file that you can re-apply each time you update the drone controller?

    Battery plus in EU\UK ??

    In the UK the definition of the mini is 249g and falls under the limit according to the CAA. All good as long as it’s flown with the lighter battery. Fly with the heavier one and it then falls into the legacy higher weight category. Summary … it’s good

    Battery plus in EU\UK ??

    To be honest the Mini 3 is perfect for the UK anyway and the safest option. Love everything about it (apart from having to nurse the signal) and its so quiet and inoffensive that people don't get upset by it. Buzz around in the garden and once its up to 10m you can't even hear it. Will get an...

    Battery plus in EU\UK ??

    Looks like the new categorization might well be postponed indefinitely (that's what CAA has recommended). Pretty sure that the CAA gave a green light to actual take off mass being what counts i.e. mini 3 will be fine under legacy <250g rules. With the lighter battery you have great...

    Signal on mini 3 seems awful. I am getting worried.

    Thanks for this information, take my hat off to you! Just did a test and you are spot on with regards to how the DJ RC is held affecting the signal. When holding naturally (large hands) i was covering the back of the controller and using fingers along the top. Just tested whilst holding the...

    power supply

    Got one if these, gives option of 20w on top slot or 45w (so 30w max charge for the battery) on the bottom slot. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B099S1FGC1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 In a rush, cook batteries on full charge - more chilled then use the 20w. Works ok...

    DJI RC Screen protector

    Ended up buying a set of plastic film screen covers from amazon, designed for a samsung S22. Cut one down with a steel ruler and stanley knife, works nicely for the time being until tempered glass are available. Would be sad to scratch the screen over the next few weeks till the glass ones can...
