    Prop Screws Heads up

    A lot of owners are having success after heating the screwdriver and applying it to the screwhead for a few seconds. It softens the threadlock, apparently.

    Battery stuck inside with super glue

    I'd try running the drone hard with the battery fully charged. Just fly it in sport mode at the hottest time of the day. The battery will get hot and expand a little. Then let it cool down in the freezer. Try removing the battery after the flight and again after an hour or so in the freezer. It...

    null 255

    Have you tried deleting all your flight logs from your phone and unchecking Auto-sync Flight Records in Profile, Settings, Sync Flight Data? I've pretty much only used Litchi to fly my Mini 2 for over a year now, so I can't remember exactly where the logs are kept. I used to delete them every...

    Bird Avoidance

    In Australia we put zip ties on our bike helmets to stop Magpies getting close enough to biting our ears. I saw a photo a few days ago of a drone with zip ties on it and the owner said it works as a bird deterrent. I just found the photo again...

    Meth is a huge problem in Australia, so watching this bust made me smile. :) https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-31/drone-used-darch-meth-charges/101912856

    Altitude height

    Check Google maps for the maximum land height above sea level of your mission and add whatever you think is a safe height to get over trees and other obstacles. And then make that your minimum mission height.

    GRID tool for Litchi

    You should just have to go to the folder where you downloaded the APK and just click on it. You might need to change some permission settings to allow your file manager to install the app.

    Crashed drone reveals attempt to smuggle $250,000 worth of drugs into Townsville prison.

    Here's the report from a police site with more pictures. Crims aren't that bright. That would probably explain the gimbal cover, lol. https://mypolice.qld.gov.au/townsville/2022/12/23/drone-carrying-drugs-stuart/

    Mini3 Pro GL

    I googled the barcode and model numbers and it's just a standard Mini 3 Pro with the RC Controller. I chatted to someone from Harvey Norman and they confirmed that it has a 12 month manufacturer's warranty. So I bought one. :-)

    Mini3 Pro GL

    I chatted with DJI support this arvo. The person I was chatting with said they were fairly sure it was a normal Mini 3 Pro and hopefully I'll get a definitive answer by email in the next day or two.

    Mini3 Pro GL

    I'm buying a Mini3 Pro this week (Black Friday...) and I've noticed that some places online advertise a Mini3 Pro GL. It's a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than what DJI and other stores are advertising the Mini3 Pro. Is it the same drone or a different version of the Mini3 Pro? Here's an...
