I updated my app before connecting the new Mini 2 and had no problems - the app recognized the new UA and asked if I wanted to activate it. It was all downhill from there. Flew the drone 10 minutes after hitting the power button and all was well. All the old log data from the Mini 1 is still in...

Thanks for posting this - I have looked everywhere for an answer to my simple question, which is "can I activate a second drone in my DJI Fly app?" Appears from your post that the answer is yes. As long as the app version recognizes the model of drone you are trying to activate. I'm receiving a...

Just joined. Thanks!

There's a Part 107 forum?

There is a lot of info in the replies so far, but it doesn't seem that anyone has really answered the question for YOU. So here it is. Pilots are either concerned about their fuel, or they're not. In the world of manned aviation, pilots who know about and fastidiously practice the safe handling...

vindibona1, I have a Mavic Mini with its own phone - an iphone 6+ that was removed from my cellular carrier (Verizon) when I upgraded to the iphone 11. My other kit is a Mavic Pro hooked to a much newer ipad. I screen record and fly on that kit without problems. But the iphone 6+ CPU gets maxed...

Geekser, I've been looking for a replacement for my poorly cut paper and scotch tape that's already coming up after a month... Not Etsy savvy - do you have a link, or company name? Also, I've seen the tip about the txt file on numerous occasions over the years and it's a good one. Today is the...

Pretty sure he was talking about the danger to the gimbal mechanism by torquing against a powered-up camera gimbal with a poorly aligned cover. Might be why DJI has all those warnings about removing the gimbal covers before powering on the aircraft...

Thanks Max. This is probably the answer for a lot of us. Overall, the replies to this thread were the most helpful of any I've encountered on this forum. Good job, all! I opened a similar thread today, but this older thread answered my main query. My old iPhone 6+ is more than adequate - as...

Didn't search for similar threads before posting this. There were already a bunch of great suggestions for mitigating this in a related thread, so no need to reply to my query at this point. The problem has been intermittent, so it's not that the device isn't powerful enough. I simply didn't...

I’m using an old iPhone 6+ to fly my Mini and getting cpu warnings. Coming from Mavic Pro, I’m not as familiar with the DJI Fly app and it seems pretty wifty. Also have a little red warning icon, bottom center, that looks like a device symbol, crossed through. See screenshots. Thoughts?

I've never had any luck with disk recovery software - how steep was the learning curve on the Sandisk product?

This is a great question, because in real-world commercial flying, crossing roads happens a lot. I would use an on scene visual observer (or two) and handheld radios to communicate. When the road is reported as clear to fly across in all traffic directions, do so quickly with your camera pointed...

This is a bad idea for two reasons. First, it won't be long before you get nailed by a blade. Second, there is no good reason to stress your motors like that. Unless your hand is just tiny, it is far better to allow the aircraft to 'see' your palm as a solid landing spot and simply land it on...

To the OP: if you don't shoot in manual (vs. auto or Program modes), ND, or Neutral Density filters are not for you. Those of us who shoot in manual or creative modes, use ND filters to allow us to set lower shutter speeds when our ISO is already as low as it will go and the aperture as small as...
