I had some fun with them the other day. I fly all over in my plane. Got them going then said, hey I have to fly into there tomorrow, I can just pick it up. Radio silence. Done that several times, latest in Gallup. Where I actually do go, store aircraft there.

Based on some testing and other comments. The Mini 4 Pro activates RID when you put in a Plus battery and take off. The RID also activates when you use the 249 battery that came with the Mini 3. It works in the Mini 4, but is slightly heavier, so the battery ID activates RID as well (marked...

I use small bits of reflective tape as well. I cut out circles with a hole punch, top, bottom sides and a couple of the arms. If you go around after or near dark with a bright flashlight, it will show up.

You need to realize that the GPS signal is very weak, not a high powered output at all. Easily masked by your roof, cement, trees lots of snow, thick with precipitation clouds and so on. One other item is if you have not used your drone in a while, the GPS has to get one other periodic bit of...

If anyone wants to get really elaborate, here are dozens of 3D printer drone claw designs. Drone Claw

The housing project was high end, 4500 sq foot jobs. Some would say the economy is to blame. Who knows, they walked off the job around 10 of these high end homes on the edge of the forest here. These birds are on crack, ADD to the max. Aside from the occasional pecking of holes in your home...

I didn't actually buy the airdrop, it came with a used Mavic 3 I bought. I kept it up until I finally sold my last of the 3's the other day, my Cine. Moving onto bigger drones for my work. Still keep a Mini 4 Pro. So small I can pack it around with my other gear. On a silly note, I have used...

Fire department is useless. I had called them for an actual kitten stuck in a tree 70' up in 28° weather. They just laughed, "that only happens on tv." They said, "ever seen any cat skeletons in a tree?" Funny part is I was a commissioner, so that doesn't help as well. I ended up using the; toss...

2 pairs - DJI Mavic 3 Low-Noise Propellers 4 propellers in DJI original bags, $18. Now you can make an offer on all of it, some of it or individually. I am now totally out of the Mavic 3 game, moving on to bigger drones. I take PayPal, there is the shipping which totally seems to depend on...

I would wish you good luck with the Python script. My experience is it has not been updated for some time now. I had issues getting it to find the com ports on my laptop Win 10. It seems to be written for a desktop. There was nothing I found that would do the vision sensors. Ultimately I sent it...

I really, just me personally, find pre-cut foam cases a waste of money. If you upgrade of sell your drone, they have few alternative uses and the foam will not fit anything else. They do not really increase the sale price of your drone in the end game, much if any. Now I am fond of Nanuk cases...

Well that took almost 12 hours to sell. Moving on to bigger drones. Shipping or Local Pickup IN Flagstaff, AZ. $2,195, I take PayPal, split the fee. Shipping included to lower 48. A very complete Mavic 3 Cine drone kit, features the RC Pro Controller and an internal 1TB SSD. Capable of Apple...

I do take offers as well

That is what it would seem to indicate. Of course, you could switch to using the Mini 3's lightweight battery the BW160. It is 2 grams heavier putting the drone at 250 and turns on RID. Or you can use the regular BW140 battery and add it to the list of un-indicted offenses you may have done that...

It is a very confusing and somewhat seemingly random system. Lousy weather here today, I needed something to distract me from a project that is stalled. Yes, if you put a BIX140 battery, the Mini 4 lightweight, it does not send out remote ID. You kind of need to let it fly or hover for around 5...
