    5D Button

    OK> More info please on how I can get this fixed. I do not fly much but like things to work properly when I do.

    5D Button

    OK Now the button has broken off completely. The controller probably still works but without the 5D functions. Where do I get this fixed? Is it even possible?

    Battery swelling

    I guess this not good but is it dangerous? This is my original battery, 4-5 years old now and I have 2 newer batteries that are in good shape, not OEM but good quality. Any reason to keep using or find a recycling place .. Lithium, right?

    Mavic Pro owner - are new drones more restrictive on where you can fly?

    I used to fly on my own property without issue. Then DJI said there was an update so I did. Now my same property is in a NFZ because of a small airport 5 miles away. So it's not the drone, it's the software.

    Can't get online authorization municipal airport nearby."NFZ can't take off"

    I was having a similar issue with NFZ after updating my GPS. After going thru all processes on their website, now I can unlock from my phone, but I have to actually attempt to start the aircraft to get those pop up questions. Then I can check the boxes, click 'yes' and fly. Thanks for mentioning...

    Video file size

    I am working my way thru the manual. I like the video quality but it takes up so much space on my computer. So I would use the app on my phone to change the resolution? I will try that ,.Thanks.

    Beginner basic instructions for operation

    Where can I find simple basic instructions for operation? The instructions included with the drone are horribly inadequate and most of the you tube videos skip some important stuff. I need step by step instruction to be sure I don't screw anything up.
