    DRONES FLYING OVER NEW JERSEY

    I remembered seeing this a few years ago: Don't know if it ever became a reality or not, but it would do the job.

    Mini 2 Short fall colors clip from PA

    I came across a nice location with some bright fall colors, so I couldn't resist some low-level shooting. Just a short clip <1 minute with my Mini 2 SE.

    Air 3 Scranton, Pennsylvania | WONDERWALL | Project Arjun

    I'm pretty sure you got the geofencing from the DOD's munition plant near the Radisson / Steamtown location where they make military shells.

    Used Mini 2

    Thanks for all the replies. Met the fellow yesterday, checked out the drone and all was well. Un-bound it and joined it to my account and all is working fine.

    Used Mini 2

    I was looking into buying a used Mini 2 from a local fellow. I downloaded the Go Fly app, and it was telling me the Mini 2 needs to "comply with remote identification". Now, I didn't buy the drone yet...just grabbed the app, but it seems like DJI is adding restrictions for the unit to work...

    DJI ban moves forward for vote by the House June 11

    This may be off topic, AND I may be putting the cart before the horse, but I have been looking to get another drone. I had a Phantom 3 and Mavic Mini. Sold both. I was looking to get another mini (<250g) drone just for fun. Wondering if there are any non-Chinese alternatives to consider? Or...

    Restricted Airspace

    I'm looking to pick up a Mini 2 / Mini 2 SE just for some fun. I previously owned a Phantom 3 and a Mavic Mini. It's been about 4 years since I had a drone, and I miss it. Being a photographer, I realize that some of my more interesting shots have been those where I can get just above the wires...

    DJI Care Refresh Video Verification for Mavic Mini

    I was just going to get Care Refresh. I activated my drone on Sunday. Today is Tuesday (2 days later) and it won't let me. Chatted with customer service and was told I activated it in the morning, and it's a couple of hours past their 48 hour window. I explained I was at work and unable to...

    Micro SD Card UHS grade requirement question

    I had to buy a SanDisk class 3 card after I got the Mini. I got a card error when I put in two other cards I already had. It just didn't want to work.

    Landing Mavic Mini Left Stick Question

    Thank you everyone. I’m good now. I appreciate the help. A new drone brings its own set of questions.

    Landing Mavic Mini Left Stick Question

    Thanks for the fast response. Just to confirm then, no worries of shutting off the motors if I hold down the stick all the way just to lower my altitude? I appreciate the help!

    Landing Mavic Mini Left Stick Question

    Hello, I am a Phantom 3 flyer who just got a Mavic Mini. Here’s my question... On the P3 controller, I move my left stick down to lower the drone, and once landed, push it all the way down until it locks to shut off the motors. The Mini does not have a locking position, and I seem to remember...
