    RC 2 October 15, 2024 update woes

    No, except I check regularly for updates as DJI recommends; ofc, no mention of what "minor bug fixes" or "fixed known issues" actually includes. Bought the RC 2 with the Mini 4 Pro, January of this year. With the history of DJI updates breaking, disabling, or removing abilities &/ functions as...

    RC 2 October 15, 2024 update woes

    A warning, if you don't have a computer available &/ a newer Android phone with a 64-bit CPU, I highly advise you to NOT DOWNLOAD the 10/15/2024 update to the RC 2! Explanation: With the previous RC 2 software version, since I don't currently have a computer available, & have an older 32-bit...

    DJI ban in effect now?

    Good thing I have my Mini 4 Pro, along with the Mini 3 Pro, which was replaced under warranty & came with the OEM pre-RID software. I won't be "upgrading" that software! This issue with Chinese drone paranoia could be a major reason that DJI has been so "nanny-state" with their software...

    Has the download button disappeared from DJI's Fly app download page for Android ? All I see is a QR code and that isn't suitable for me as I wish to

    Assuming that you were downloading that for your phone, & assuming that you were able to not only download, but install it, & that it works properly, the last question I have is, what is your Android version, & is your phone's CPU operating on a 32 or 64 bit version? The last part, seemed to be...

    Mini 3 Pro Wet Suits : 30 Minutes in a Downpour

    I might even still have that someplace... I certainly do recall doing that, more than 1nce. Although, out of habit, I do give a spray of that silicone over exposed rubber parts & anywhere it looks like there's any kind of connection, or crevice where I see the potential of water to sneak in...

    Thanks, but I tried both of those sources, too. No dice, same error message; it was after both of those also failed, that I started rummaging for a solution - it seems a limitation with the Android app itself, from DJI.

    Mini 3 Pro Wet Suits : 30 Minutes in a Downpour

    Sensors burn out quickly? Is this an issue with the drone itself, or only when flying in the rain? I have both the Mini 3 Pro (drone itself replaced with a new drone by DJI due to camera flaw, but delivered with the OEM software, so not flown) & the Mini 4 Pro. Not flown the Mini 4 Pro in...

    Has the download button disappeared from DJI's Fly app download page for Android ? All I see is a QR code and that isn't suitable for me as I wish to

    I have been able to download the DJI Fly (consumer) version from my browser (WaterFox - a branch from FireFox) to my Win10x64 Pro computer with no problems in the past. With my machine down for service or replacement, I've recently tried to do the same on an Android 11 phone, & after trying...

    2nd hand Mini 3 Pro remote ID broadcast

    But, both the location of the drone, & the controller, or at least, its launch point, can be tracked, amirite? 🧐

    2nd hand Mini 3 Pro remote ID broadcast

    The question, & issue, I have, re: the difference between the Mini 3 Pro, vs the Mini 3 & the Mini 4 Pro, when it comes to the RID broadcast, is that neither the latter broadcast the RID when using the standard (<250gm battery, while the Mini 3 Pro does, & DJI never bothered to update the Mini...

    DJI Mini 4 Pro firmware problem

    Unless, ofc, you receive a replacement (In my case, a new Mini 3 Pro) from DJI with the original pre-RID softwaren installed. No. I didn't crash or lose it - it developed a flaw in the camera. Replaced free of charge under the 2-year "Care refresh" plan. I imagine that might be worth...

    Mini 4 Pro - latest firmware. Don't bother with it if you want to fly your drone.

    I learned the hard way, back in September of '22 when I received the oddly urgent e-mail, to install that "update" to my Mini 3 Pro which force-enabled RID, to carefully examine & closely read the details of any updates, prior to allowing them, rather than simply & witlessly trusting DJI to be...

    DJI Mini 4 Pro firmware problem

    “Big Brother & the Nanny State” strikes again! “Thank you for purchasing DJI products! Although you spent lots of money, you still don't actually own it, so long as we can control it, what you can buy to use with or on it, how it functions, & where it can go.” From people who grew up in such a...

    air2s dissapeared at 300ft during sunset

    Just my observation here, & I don't have nor have I ever flown anything other than the Mini 3 Pro, & admittedly, it's a different bird, but although if I do fly in low(er) light conditions, I will always get the “low light” warning. I've never had any regular “compass calibration error”...
