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...

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

There are some used ones on Ebay. I have brand new, sealed with 2 year care refresh policy if you're interested in new. https://mavicpilots.com/threads/mavic-3-thermal-brand-new-sealed-2-yr-care-refresh.152754/

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!

wow. never heard that before, even from frothy trumpists. So, gold toilets are down to earth now?

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

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.

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...

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/

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?

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...

Well, that's too bad. Sorry to send you in that direction. Good Luck with the search.

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...
