    We Have Not Escaped the DJI Drone Ban! Tuesday March 4, 2025 @ 11:59 pm is the Last Time You Can Protest this Ban!

    On the contrary, I thought your response was much more detailed. It also brought a historical and statistical perspective. There was very little duplication and you said it better than I did. Well done!

    I agree. Very few law enforcement personnel would ever take the time to use such a drone detection app. They have so many higher law enforcement priorities. To be honest, the Drone Scanner app is not very effective if you go to the App store and read the reviews including their range as someone...

    Yes, I certainly hope you are right about there not being a total ban. I was trying to get others to respond. My business and many others are on the line. As I mentioned in another reply, I am impressed by BIS's methodology. It isn't proposing anything at this point. It's just seeking all the...

    So sorry...it was all me speaking. I was too cute by half. I was just trying to bring more attention to certain parts of my text. Whenever, I see text style options, it triggers the worse in my human nature.

    You are correct, "...the proposed rule, you'll notice it makes no mention of trying to prevent Americans from spying". But, I didn't say that or certainly didn't mean that. I obviously didn't do a good job of making the argument that banning DJI to prevent foreign 'video surveillance' or 'data...

    "Banning Chinese Drones Will Not Prevent American Made Drones From Spying! As long as American made drones have cameras and a ½” SD (Memory Card) to store photos and videos, the ‘potential’ of spying on critical infrastructure will always exist. Drones don’t spy…people spy using a drone...

    Screen shade for new 8.3" iPad Mini 6?

    It's been 9 months since you were looking for a sun shade for your iPad Mini 6. I just purchased a Mini 6 for my new Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 never thinking that I wouldn't be able to find a shade. I've exhausted Amazon. Did you ever find one? I'm at the point of cutting down a larger one. But would...

    Mini 3, little help?

    Thank you for your post! My good friend will receive his Mini 3 Pro with the DJI RC built in screen in July. But I have told him how much I like Litchi & Dronelink. He would like to use them also. I told him there is no way to load third-party apps on the DJI RC remote. You've answered one my...

    Strobe Placement on Mini 2 and Potential to Damage Engines if Placed on Battery Door???

    I appreciate all the feedback. Excellent points all around. I will test out my configuration below at my RC flying field 1st. While I tend to agree that strobes do not violate the FAA VLOS regs, BigA107 has a good point also. You don't want to rely on technology the failure of which puts you...

    Phantom 4 Pro + V2.0 Mint Condition!!! PRICE DROP

    If this wasn't the Plus (+), I would take it. But I need to be able to run 3rd party apps like DroneLink and DroneDeploy which can't be loaded on the dedicated smart controller. Good luck...glad you like your M3!

    Strobe Placement on Mini 2 and Potential to Damage Engines if Placed on Battery Door???

    I just got the StartRC Strobe Light for Mini 2 and many others. It was reviewed by another member of this forum who indicated it didn't get the advertised visibility. I only need to maintain visibility to 600' VLOS. It claims 1.8 Miles. I just know it almost blinded me when I hit the on button...

    Is it safe to upgrade firmware now (regarding reports of signal loss and GPS acquisition)???

    I'm at an inflection point and have a decision to make. I've read good and bad results with V...04 firmware for Mini 2. I didn't update and have V...03. I have an email & phone inquiry into Dronelink (DL) to see I can use my use their software with my current firmware 03 version. I won't take a...

    Activation of New Mini 2 -- upgrade to firmware V. 1.04.0000 optional or forced?

    Two comments: (1) I purchased a refurb Mini 2 Combo from DJI eBay store in early February. During activation, in the upper left-hand corner of Fly it informed me that updates were available but it did not install automatically. In fact, after updating to the new 01.03.000 version, I got a...

    Oops after overlooking a Litchi mission planning detail

    Sorry....been down with a persistent virus...not C19...I appreciate the feedback. Just like different cable television sources you can often get misinformation from forum postings or I am the one who misunderstands what is being said. The weather has been horrible in the Chicago suburbs and have...
