I’m sending mine in today under the Premium Care plan. I’ll let you know how it works out. Between the gimble jerk when coming to a stop and the 5GHz workaround, things were getting rather annoying. Thanks for the info regarding the refurbished model data. I’ll check that. Since they aren’t...

Did you get a replacement Mini 2 from DJI yet? I’m having the same issue and the workaround is what you described (manual mode and 2.4 GHz). I have Care Refresh so that is really my only route for repair. Unfortunately all I’ll get is another Mini 2 that’s been refurbished.

Yes, the KSLI Class D goes from the surface to 2500 MSL. There is Class B airspace above it. I’ve posted a screenshot from ForeFlight with the sectional chart and airspace highlighted. Class D airspace always goes from the surface to an MSL altitude. Otherwise you’re looking at a Class B or...

I went to Cabo in late January and it was still a no-go. I would have loved to do some aerial whale watching. Mexico is very strict on drones and you don’t want to be in a Mexican jail.

Nice! What altitude did you fly at? I’m wanting to take my Mini2 out and do some aerials of our boat. So far I’ve been told to stay above 20-30 feet AGL. I think more like 50-100’ and use the zoom like you did.

Believe me, those of us that fly in the aircraft, not just remotely, also have to deal with the Karens. Late to show, packed the kitchen sink and the storage shed for a 3-day trip, flight was bumpy, it’s raining where we’re going??? You name it. I don’t know which is worse; the ones who come out...

Welcome to the forums from a West Ashley neighbor!

Thank you for the links and tips! One thing I have learned from aviation and the military is that "slow is smooth; smooth is fast" really does apply when you don't want to mess things up and/or you don't want to be a victim of your own mistakes because you rushed and missed something.

Chief, I must say that I am already enjoying the stories of the "Little Drone that Could". I, of course, am not Brian Shul. I've only been as fast as Mach 0.862 and up to 46,300 feet. I must say that the world looks very different from up there and I can only imagine what it would look like...

I understand the concern by the government with the potential to use the drones for espionage purposes. That being said, has anyone proved that DJI is selling/transferring/sending any data captured by the DJI drones to the CCP? Did I miss a news article on that? If they are sending the data to...

Welcome to the forums! I have used the Care Refresh service once with my Mini 2. The service was fast and I found it to be well worth the money.

Professional fixed wing corporate pilot getting into the drone industry. How y'all doin'? (in my most southern accent).
