I have a Mini 2 and an Android 13 phone (Motorola) running the DJI Fly app, and can confirm it all works perfectly. Google for "How to install third-party APKs" if you need instructions for installing. You should be prompted to enable certain permissions when you run the app. Mine has these...

Indeed be warned. I once tested ChatGPT with a questions to which I knew the answer. The first 2 replies sounded plausible but were wrong, to which I replied with "incorrect, try again". The third answer was correct.

As our friend from Canada mentioned, this depends on which country you are in. It's true in the UK and apparently in the USA, but obviously not everywhere.

I think it's important always to remember that the altitude as calculated (and displayed) by the drone is relative to the take-off point and not related to the actual height above the ground (true at least for drones of my era - I have a Mini 2). This is obviously important for RTH...

I guess they may have moved it - Google finds it here.

A brief look says that I probably will. Thanks.

Well, I should be, but I draw the line at getting my hands that dirty.

Thanks for having a go at answering this. I'm surprised (should I be?) that there is no app facility to download the logs. I don't use Windows (I'm a Linux person), but your file names gave me a clue where on the phone these files are. Using my FileManager app, I find the txt flight records...

I'm confused about where "stuff" from my Mini 2 is stored. I know that the original hi-res imagery is stored on the sd card in the drone, and I copy it directly from here onto my computer, but the rest? In the DJI Fly app Album, I see "Aircraft Album" which appears to contain lo-res version of...

@Dronecation: Thank you! Don's summary of the rules, supported by the official summary (or the other way around if you prefer) is just what I needed. And to answer my question, while you can't fly within a National Park, Don says that for most Provincial Parks you can't take off or land, which...

Can you clarify? Are you saying that a microdrone is NOT subject to the 120m height limit or controlled airspace restrictions? I thought these applies to all drones. Also, I understand that flying within a National Park is not allowed - does this rule also apply to Provincial and State Parks?

I'll be vacationing in BC from the UK in a few weeks and was considering taking my new(ish) mini 2 with me. However, I did read some while ago the recommendation to "leave your drone at home". From what I can see the rules in Canada for a microdrone are similar to those in the UK, so as long as...

Beautiful. Where was this?

Hi @WannaFly247, I'm very much in the same position as you - only had my Mini2 for a few months and come to it from many (many!) years of DSLR photography. My daughter bought me a Tello toy a year or two ago and could immediately see I wanted something better :). I live in Leamington Spa and we...

Davinci Resolve looks very impressive. But it's also massive on resources (esp. for Linux users like me), and I suspect has far more functionality that many people will ever use. I've used OpenShot for some time. It's free, runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, and it's easy to get the hang of basic...
