In my opinion any aftermarket battery from AliExpress is like playing Russian Roulette with your drone (or any other product). Never know where those come from or anything about quality control. Only takes one to overheat mid-air and bye bye drone. I also own two of the MA1 drones. You can still...

Both those photos are taken while it looks pretty cold out. A combination of what was mentioned above (slow SD card) and the cold may have played a part. I've had this happen with regular video equipment though and it's usually a bad sensor causing an issue or a bad connection to the sensor...

Everyone here is talking about his flight from the moving vehicle and they're also forgetting the fact that he's trespassing on someone's property after being told by police that he was doing so and needed to leave. Flying directly into the property (not overhead) and then flying into the...

For me using Litchi is a major advantage to flying. I watched 51 Drones video about DJI Waypoints on the Mini 4 Pro and was totally unimpressed. If I can't use Litchi then I'll keep sticking with my A2S. Yes you could use your phone with the RC but I bought the RC Pro specifically to not have to...

I absolutely hate YouTubers that claim to be experts then give information like this when in fact the FAA web site even states (as of this post) that it's still September 16th. I don't care who or how the person found out the information but until it's posted on the FAA site or a press release...

Put them on in a way that helps you see which way the drone is facing. I personally use the Red/Green on the front legs and white on top with white or blue on the rear. I also make sure that if the drone is facing me that red is on the right and green is on the left. That's a standard for...

After your video Greg on the various modules I've determined that Remote ID is a joke at this point. FAA actually certified a module that can only been seen 50' or closer??? Might as well not fly with one. That doesn't even give law enforcement any information. Although I don't always agree with...

If you have the RC Pro it's listed in the ABOUT section where your S/N is. Looks like they've added a separate line that says REMOTE ID now and that number works on the FAA site.

Yes and no. If the RC Pro sales were not as expected (probably due to the high price) then DJI could in fact decide to blow out a large part of the inventory (which may have already been done) and just shelf it early. There's a cost of development and updating associated with keeping a product...

It's very possible that DJI could add the Air 3 to the current RC Pro but state a cavet that the range would be the same. With the Air 3 the extra range comes from the addition of another frequency to make for 3 total. Also the new RC 2 uses the external antennas which helps. It would be really...

Dimensions are 15.5 x 12.2 x 10 I went with the extra insulation and extra effort just to be on the safe site. The box I got states it's supposed to be rated up to 2000F but it didn't say for how long. I know LiPo fires can reach 800F so yes that should be plenty. With the extra layers though...

I'm curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing I have and/or if they have any thoughts. I got my Air2s when BH Photo had the limited bundle of the Air2s and RC Pro controller. It was a limited run and sold out quickly. It's got several advantages that the RC has such as third party app...

A metal ammo box is dangerous simply for the fact that it's metal. The burning battery inside can heat up the container well past the flash point of paper which is about 475 degrees F. Not to mention it has many gaps. I also needed a larger box. An ammo box might be ok if you lined it with some...

I had looked at those as well before starting my DIY version. These were still too small for my use. The document box is 2.5 times larger and a lot deeper than the Bat-Safe. I have 10 DJI batteries and I can charge all of them at the same time in my box if needed. I can also charge up to 4 banks...

I've got a few of those Lipo bags for charging and storing batteries but I really don't like them. I also charge my batteries inside the house because out here in the Texas heat, even in the garage it's too hot to safely charge. I don't just charge drone batteries though as I build my own 18650...
