    Am I Ready? Visiting Switzerland and Italy Next Month

    Thanks for the advice. I was going to enter a series of digits that had the same length as a SSN, but something has to be entered.. no matter what I'd, including starting again still gives the same error. Their support does not address the error and only refer me to a guide all written in Italian

    greetings from northern Italy

    Although, that is a useful link and wish I had that when I started, it still leads me back to d-flight to register as a pilot. But I can't get past the d-flight account creation. From what I gather is that drones under 250g (such as mini 2) do not require certification, and fall under A1 of the...

    greetings from northern Italy

    I will be traveling to Italy in May 2024 from US. I am taking a DJI mini 2 Pro and I am trying to create an account with d-flight, but getting error message (See below). I am a bit concerned about providing both my date of birth and Tax payer ID (SSN). I think insurance is only optional. I am...

    Do I need to do anything if I plan to fly my mini 3 pro in Europe ?

    I tried that, but I have to declare that the 1st country I will be flying in is France, which I will not be going to anytime during this trip.

    Do I need to do anything if I plan to fly my mini 3 pro in Europe ?

    I am thinking of taking my Mini 2 to both Italy and Portugal (side trip) coming from US. I've been looking at all the EU regulations and for Italy and Portugal. Since I will be going to Italy first, I was going to register as a pilot and drone as class C0 sub-cat A1 open class. But even though...

    3 You all will love this. MASSIVE BEE COLONY APPROACHED BY MAVIC 3. What? You think I was gonna do it? The music makes it fun too watch.

    I am in southern Calif, and I've had this happen last year to me as well. I am thinking the sound of the props attracts them thinking it's the big queen!

    My Mini 2 been beezy in a bee attack. I was attacked today by many bees and they got chopped up in the blades. At about 50 feet they started following my drone. I would ascend and move forward fast, yet they kept following me. Finally, when I got to about 5 feet, they dispersed I had a mess on...

    DJI Fly on the Galaxy S22 / S22 Ultra - "brightest smartphone displays out there"

    I have both the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S22 Plus. I was using the S7 Edge initially. The S10 is definitely brighter than S7 but still hard to see in bright sunlight. The S22 Plus is brighter than S10, and seems to be a bit sharper ( or more contrast) than the S10. I've tried turning on adaptive...

    Have you upgraded you Mini 2 to 1.04.0000 firmware?

    I've flown hundreds of flights with my Mini 2 and still using 1.03 FW. I was seeing some of these reports, and imagining that DJI has reduced power output for federal FCC regulations (at least in USA). However, RF transmission and reception is a peculiar beast, and so much depends on outside...

    Battery explosion, house nearly burnt down

    I normally keep my Mini2 batteries in the charger and many times I leave it my car so I will have it if I am driving near a place I would like to fly. This story makes me quite nervous about keeping in the car. Are there any Lipo battery containers that can be used to hold the battery/charger...

    Mini 2 Flew Away when I canceled RTH with Litchi app running a mission

    That's what I was thinking. I have the flight log and trying to figure it out if the joysticks were being operated by the Litchi app after that. I have available the flight data Litchi records on the phone.

    Mini 2 Flew Away when I canceled RTH with Litchi app running a mission

    I had an incident a few days ago with my Mini 2, using the Litchi way point mission on my Android Galaxy S10 phone. The aircraft was losing communications with the RC on and off, so I decided to just do a RTH. I long pressed the RTH button on the RC and the aircraft came back to me as expected...
