    Where are the DJI Care Refresh options for US drones?

    It's country of origin that determines the tariff. So, if parts and drones are made in China, but make trip through Canada, they will still be tariffed at China's rate. What rate is that? Well, it depends how trump feels that day. Nothing to do with anything else, as we have seen. But with...

    Mini 5 Pro is Broadcasting RID with ALL Batteries, Including the Mini 5 Pro Standard Battery

    Aren't all Mini 5's over 249g with any battery?

    Mini 5 Pro is Broadcasting RID with ALL Batteries, Including the Mini 5 Pro Standard Battery

    Currently, for commercial ops, the FAA requires a unique RID module for each aircraft that needs one. Not the 1 module for all aircraft like with recreational. Supposedly they are considering changing this, but as of now, that's the way it is. So guys would probably not like to buy modules if...

    Pro MAVIC 4 PRO - NEW VIDEO - Flying over Portugal with the king of drones!

    Unless your goal is to sell DJI drones, I would suggest sticking with your very nice cinematic clips and loose the drone marketing type clips. Cheers!

    DJI ban update from the New York Times

    It's about lining pockets. As in everything else, these grifters couldn't care less about all of the regular folks this is hurting.

    Smart Controller lost connection to Mavic 2 Pro

    Who knows. I mostly fly M3s now. Enterprise and consumer. They never ask for calibration and I travel a hundred miles often. The Phantoms 3 and 4s that I used to use a lot never did either. But the M2 is an attention hog. Maybe it's just the one I have.

    Smart Controller lost connection to Mavic 2 Pro

    My Mavic 2 Pro also is a "Calibrate my Compass" queen. None of the other drones ever ask. If I remember correctly, it is a "feature" of the firmware because DJI was having issues in the Inspire 2, I think..maybe. Maybe others with the M2s don't have this issue, I don't know. Mine certainly...

    Does DJI Fly Safe no longer work?

    DJI no longer has geofencing in the US. No unlocks to worry about with DJI. To fly in an area covered by LAANC, I use Aloft Air Control. Either on desktop, or mobile app. You need a free account. https://www.aloft.ai/feature/laanc/

    Smart Controller lost connection to Mavic 2 Pro

    Was it on an autonomous mission? You said it just stopped, but then you said you could control it is why I ask. It obviously did not loose control, only video downlink. Can you power it on now and everything is normal or no video feed?

    NO LONGER NEEDED! Looking for a Mini 3 Pro-Lost Mine!

    If you have a plan, it is still in effect. The issue is that US customs won't let DJI bring your replacement into the country if they don't have any stock available in the country. Talk to your federal reps. But good luck with that. If you can provide a Canadian shipping address, and someone...

    Getting Service on Mavic 4 Pro in US

    Not sure where you've been. But it's pretty common knowledge by now that DJI would like nothing better than to provide you with service. You need to talk to your gov't to see why they won't let DJI provide that service. I suspect that if you are unhappy with your purchase of an M4P that sort...
