You were correct, corrected. teaches me to be a literary Robin Hood, steal from the literate and copy for the dull. Should somebody be dying for a "Plus Battery" I can substitute one for one of the standard ones for an additional $48.

The DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo with DJI RC 2 is a top-of-the-line ready-to-fly drone that weighs under 249g, making it a perfect choice for capturing stunning aerial footage. This unit comes with 3 batteries, Charging Dock, Cable, DJI Wide Angle Adaptor, K&F Circular Polarizer, Extended...

They are a DJI trader on ALIBABA out of Hong Kong as well as their presence on eBay, as a local entity. There are no warranties on any of the latest drones, since you have to go back to the country you bought it in. Really, I never had had any warranty claims with DJI except on the Mavic 3T...

I went out on a limb and got a Mini 5 Pro fly more with the RC-2, $1029 off a US seller on eBay. 5 days, UPS ground, arrived this afternoon, still shrink-wrapped. It was the DJI Store based in Elk Grove, Illinois. Probably keep both for a bit, since the 5 still does not connect with the goggles...

I too have not had much chance to exercise it in the field. Actually been flying the aircraft a lot the last couple of weeks, at least when the WX cooperated. I am curious, did you try the Photoshop d-fringe in the Camera Raw Filter to see if it corrected it? Really never tried out that feature...

Kind of a bit of a debate on the Mini 5 Pro and its being sub-249. Most folks are finding it to be over and there is the issue it broadcasts RID all the time. Not really a huge difference between the two, except in low light and obstacle detection. There are also no wide converters for the Mini...

At the moment the CAA in Mexico only allows sub-249 gram drones for foreigners. Heavier ones need to be registered with the CAA and foreigners are not allowed to register them. What I do in places that have peculiar foreigner exclusions is hire a local licensed pilot to watch me fly. Narcos are...

Personally, I just added USAA's Technology Coverage to my existing homeowners. It cost $73 more a year, covers drones and things like tablets phones and gizmos. Cameras are covered separately by a Valuable Personal Property Coverage and are listed by SN and replacement value. I have only ever...

You get used to that, but I agree it being a bit of a PIA.

It worked out just fine for me. He shipped a few days after the order, waited until a Monday, I got it two days later. II too got a Creator Combo and has worked out just fine for me. In fact scouting a new spot from the airplane to go shoot in the next few days. I check my spots from the air...

Well in terms of 35mm lenses for regular full frame cameras, which seems the standard reference; it is 108° FOV, which puts it someplace around 15° in equivalent camera lenses. Not as wide as the wide lens converter for the Mavic 3 series, which did 110° FOV. So it is a nice improvement on the...

Yes, thumbs up. I still would like to go out in the field to try it out more thoroughly. So far, with my reference image of my roof, it looks good. Too bad the weather is not the best for going out to my usual haunts to do some shots. Did drag the Mini 4 Pro with me to Kauai this week, just to...

Something better has popped on the market. K&F Concepts have released their wide for the Mavic 4 Pro. I ordered one before I left on a trip and it was magically waiting for me. Kind of a two week delivery off Amazon. Physically it seems to be a nicer build quality. I finally got it in the air...

It is helpful to go to a site like: UAS Sidekick to check out if your proposed area has an issue with the authorities. See if it matches up later with your warnings. What it does not do is warn you about places that have takeoff and landing restrictions. This requires further research. Think...
