    Launching drone from large steel charter boat

    I am aboard a large steel charter boat heading out to sea to sail around islands ( Abrolhos Islandd) 60 km off the W.Australian coast. I have with me my Mini4 drone which I am not sure of its ability to overcome the magnetic influence on its compas sensors. Could knowledgable members indicate...

    Landing on a rocking boat with the new software upgrade Mini4pro

    I understand with the latest firmware upgrade that the landing sensors can be turned off which can help with boat landing. Have any members used this feature instead of hand retrieving. I find hand retrieval can lead to the drone reacting by flying away if it has noticed any movement which isn’t...

    Mini 4 Large leopard seal visits City Beach - Perth West Australia

    The seal scene was a lucky, “being at the right spot at the right time” We don’t usually have seals visiting our coastal beaches. They mainly live on offshore islands away from people

    Mini 4 Large leopard seal visits City Beach - Perth West Australia

    No lens filter just auto program. The ocean was abnormally calm for this time of day. During our summer we usually get a strong sea breeze that makes it choppy

    For those suffering cold in the Northern hemisphere

    We in Perth W. Australia are having 41*C temperatures. I made a mini 4 pro clip of one of our sunsets for those feeling a bit cold to warm people up

    mini4 pro SD card transfer via card reader changed due to software update

    My I-pad I use all the time which is very useful for keeping and editing drone photography doesn’t have finder on it. My comments now are directed to DJI, WHY HAVE THEY INTRODUCED THIS COMPLICATION which seems to have added extra layers to download my vids and photos.

    mini4 pro SD card transfer via card reader changed due to software update

    I have downloaded the latest software upgrade into my Mavic 3 last night and flew it this morning. The SD card was transferred via the card reader directly to my photo site on my I-pad 12.5 pro without any issues. Its the new M4 pro that doesn’t seem to work here.

    mini4 pro SD card transfer via card reader changed due to software update

    Following up on this post, the M4pro drone was returned to the retailer who provided another drone to me as they agreed it was faulty. I proceeded to set up the new drone, which required the new software upgrade. After going thru the fairly tedious process of charging the new batteries, linking...

    mini4 pro SD card transfer via card reader changed due to software update

    Nothing complicated. Take SD card out of drone. Put it in a card reader. Plug it into the I-pad. Open the photo library app on my laptop. Scroll down to devices and tap on where it says SD card. The files on the SD card are ready to be downloaded into my photo album, tap download and it then...

    mini4 pro SD card transfer via card reader changed due to software update

    Nothing to do with I-phone. Can still carry out my normal way of transferring drone SD card to my I-pad with other drones that hadn’t required the new upgrade required for the Air3 and M4 pro. The new M4 pro drone was the only drone I uploaded the new program software and had problems with. The...

    mini4 pro SD card transfer via card reader changed due to software update

    I recently added a Mini4 pro to my drone collection of Mini2, Mini 3, Air2S and Mavic 3. To transfer files on all my drones I have found the easiest way to download photo and video files is to put the SD card in a I-phone card reader and plug it into my I-pad , open photo album scroll down to...

    Screen Recording and Battery Usage

    There must be some battery cost to using the screen recording. Also when connected to an external monitor I notice the controller gets warm and the fan can be heard working

    3 Roof construction:Progressive drone video. Perth WA

    That is a rather shallow comment regarding u-tube viewers. Believe or not, some people actually watch u-tube to be informed. It is part of the human spirit to understand and investigate what happens in our world. Intelligent people appreciate a good visual story telling video to open up...
