Drones with facial recognition holding me for the police because I blew off jury duty is my worst nightmare. All I can say is get used to it. I myself have seen matrices and such fly over my neighborhood and I'm pretty sure its the property tax office or code enforcement mostly. On the 4th of...

DJI is allowed to bring in all the drones they want. For obvious reasons they choose not to do business here and yes that includes parts for almost every model except Enterprise. How long will they do this? Who knows for sure but you won’t see them at the Best Buy for a long while.

Did you replace all the silicone you removed from the connections? If not that’s your problem. The connections will not stay in place without the silicone. You should also have put a little thermal paste on the board BEFORE replacing the bottom cover. The paste MUST touch the heat sinks on the...

There is no government approved app to track down drone pilots. Government employees cannot use unapproved apps in the course of their jobs. They cannot use their personal devices either so they can download an app to their phone or pad but they can’t use it on the job. If there is indeed an...

Those batteries could end up useless if DJI decides to “lock them out” in a future update. I always buy OEM.

DJI does indeed have a shortage of mini 3 pro parts and at the moment is rejecting certain repairs for that model BUT I don’t think this will be a long term problem and future repairs will be made, Who knows when tho.

Call for an Uber in L.A., You will get a driverless vehicle that you have to think real hard about getting into. Lol

The only time the FAA will ever know if your RID was on and functioning while in flight is for the pilot to do something really stupid and either crash the drone and cause damage or have the drone confiscated only then could anyone examine the flight records and diagnose the RID. The FAA could...

Your batteries sound as if they are gone DO NOT FLY WITH THEM! You need that update and Macs Gatekeeper is keeping you from installing or using it. Go into your security settings and find the assistant click on it and then click -run anyway- if you are unsure how just google how to override...

The pilot wasn’t very high…..in altitude..The drone struck the wing of the plane right about the time it flew over Ben Affleks house in Culver during the palisades fire. I Remember the F.B.I. going to Afflecks house and questioning him.

If it worries you, you can always get an RID spoofer. They are legal and the Karen’s won’t find you among the thirty or so drones your spoofer will transmit to their app.

Did you arrive in a time machine from the eighties. lol thats about the time that privacy thing started to fade. I think around 2020 they got you pretty much 24-7. Depending on what you do or when you leave your house there is a video record of it if you combine the thousands of camera videos...

Miss-information mostly and privacy for some. Many pilots still believe that when you turn on R.I.D. someone can "see" you. Unless there is a karen with an app nearby then NO-ONE is watching. RID was created they say to improve how people that violate often are tracked. and this is only really...

This would never happen If the U.S. told you to stop flying your DJI (they wont) they couldn’t update and shut them all down.

DJI could shave some weight on all their Drones if they would stop putting grey Plastic "bodies" on them. I suppose it "looks" neat but the plastic is unnecessary and just helps the drones components to overheat.
