    Buying from DJI's website

    Yes. You're ordering it directly from the manufacture so there is definitely warranty. Majority of the local stores around my area will actually tell you to deal with the manufacture themselves when it's past the 30 day return/exchange policy. Most stores (BestBuy Canada) won't even allow you to...

    Buying from DJI's website

How would I know which one is which? Also, there are some that are red (indicating unstable) and some green which are...

    Lots of signal interference

    Hey guys. I'm new to the drone world and just picked up my Mavic Air fly more combo. Everything has been updated and flying works great. I believe all my settings are in auto including the wireless signals. I'm finding that when I fly around the 500-800m distance, the drone completely cuts...
