The new firmware is working well for me. I’d like to see waypoints.

Today was my last day to return my M3 to Amazon and I've decided to keep it. Yes, the GNSS issue is annoying, but the workarounds aren't terrible, and I'm crossing my fingers that DJI will fix it soon. It was working as expected until a firmware update caused the issue (same with ADS-B), so I...

Keep in mind SD cards (all flash) have a maximum number of write cycles. While 64GB cards might be the current sweet spot from a flight time perspective, moving to 128GB will give you twice the lifetime. It then comes down to the cost per GB. The larger capacity cards always come with a premium...

Or perhaps it's political. They started using China's system, and DJI is a Chinese company. Reverting / moving away from BeiDou is a good way to "lose face".

But then why wouldn't DJI just revert back to the original constellations? Fix the problem for the customer asap and give yourself time to work on the problem.

I enjoyed Mad's video. The one thing he didn't address is any theory as to why ADS-B would stop working with recent firmware. The fact the two systems are on the same board and ADS-B stopped working at the same time GPS acquisition times increased is .. interesting.

I have tested this while the controller is connected to my home wifi (took off from the driveway). It still took several minutes for the the first flight. I haven't tested subsequent batteries in a short time period. My primary fear is that DJI stops development in favor of the M3S (bug fixes...

I’m nearing the end of my return window on my M3 and RC Pro. I’m still torn about what to do, but it seems possible DJI will never have a solution for the GPS issues and I should just wait for rumored M3S. What do I need to do to prep for return? I’ve read some people receiving second-hand...

Bumping this thread. Searched all over for this option before searching for a thread about dark mode. I‘m surprised it‘s not already an option. I’m using safari on an iPad so some of the add-on methods won’t work.

They changed the camera mid-run on the M3? I missed that. From round to oval? Why would they do that? Now I need to go look to see which one I have (drone isn’t nearby at the moment). I wonder what would happen if someone desoldered the KA and installed the KT on an M3. If acqusition time...

Funny, as I started to research Autel for the first time today.

This is definitely true. Tesla does this all the time, and that’s a $60k+ car!

@beermat so what would you do if you had an M3 still within the return window? While I love to reverse engineer with the best of them, the net result is the same right now. I think it comes down to "do we have confidence that DJI will be able and will resolve the issue?" Their track history...

I’m in the return window for the RC Pro. I could return it and buy the Air2S fly more kit. However when I look at the kit on amazon it has the standard controller. Is there a v2 kit? Or was this a temporary thing? Edit: Nevermind, I see it now. $1749. So for $550 you could have a NIB Air2S with...
