    Air 3s in low light?

    Selling off my Air 3 and just ordered an Air 3s. Should I assume that the 3s will perform just as well at night compared to the Air 3? I know they removed "night mode" from the S and I've read that somehow low-light performance is not quite as good as the original Air 3.

    Quick battery life test

    Did a quick battery life test of my Mini 5 using the EXTENDED PLUS battery. Conditions: light wind, 50 degree temp, partly cloudy. Settings: 4k@30, Normal mode, video recording on but obstacle avoidance OFF. Just flew around in circles using cruise control at about 300ft alt. Results: From 96%...

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    Ordered mine from amazon on 10/20. Not shipped yet and my credit card hasn't been charged yet. This has me a little worried.

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    Looks like the Mini 5 Pro fly-more combo "Plus" went up to $1900 from $1159 in the last few hours on Amazon

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    Anything that says "Prime" in the title description is legit in my book after thousands of "Prime" orders. Is there a chance I won't get the drone from the third party seller? Maybe but I know I won't lose my money. It's that simple

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    Sorry guys, but I just don't trust Uncle Sam with the information they collect on you.

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    I flew a couple of hundred feet over the 400ft limit a few times. They wanted to make sure I wasn't engaging in something nefarious. Now I'm on their radar unfortunately so I'm looking to fly without remote ID

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    Ever have State Police, FBI, and Homeland security show up at your door all at once??? I didn't think so. LOL

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    If I thought DJI would address it with a FW update, that would be good but they can't answer that question when I asked them. Another disappointment is the battery life. I'm not getting anywhere near what I get with my M4 Pro, same standard battery.

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    As I stated before, the "drone scanner" APP picks it up right away, every time.

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    I called DJI and they told me that RID is ALWAYS broadcast regardless of the weight of the drone or the battery you use. I'm considering this as case closed and I'm shipping her back

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    The Mini 4 standard battery is a few grams heavier than the standard Mini 5 Pro battery.

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    Regardless, my 5 Pro triggers the drone scanner APP every time I fly it. (standard battery). What is DJI's official position? I've called them and they seem to be confused also. If RID is triggered by weight, makes sense since almost all of the drones are around 252 gram like mine is.

    Mini5 plus battery in Mini4???

    Why would I make this up? I'm not posting the serial number on a public forum but I'd be happy to share what my drone scanner APP finds every time I fire her up through a private channel. LMK
