    Drone pictures/videos…how to get them on iPhone?

    To answer your original question of transferring to your iPhone. Turn on the drone only (not your RC) and open the Fly app on your phone. In the bottom left of your screen a message will pop up stating your drone has been detected and will ask you if you want to connect to it to allow ‘quick...

    Air 3 - First Thoughts and A Question

    You are correct Ken. The smart controller has a black border around the viewable screen(glass makes it look bigger but it is not). BOTH the Smart Controller and the RC/RC2 have the SAME viewable screen of 5.5 inches. The product page is correct.

    Air 3 Zoom in 3x photo?

    Yes it does stop about 5-6’. You can always turn that off though. I should mention that all the photos were at 40mp option. I have done pretty extensive photo image comparisons on 20mp versus 40my. There are some that say the 40mp is not as sharp as the 20mp but I absolutely disagree with...

    Air 3 Zoom in 3x photo?

    So I apologize but I do not have a newspaper. So I tried to utilize items that mimicked different font sizes of a newspaper would. A lego box and a cereal box. So the drone is sitting on a stand exactly 6 ft from the item. Interesting note is that I could not get it to focus on an item 6ft...

    Air 3 Zoom in 3x photo?

    BTW in video mode on the Air 3 you can use telephoto upto 7 or 8x zoom. I cannot remember exactly as I don't use that much and I am currently at the office. But you can zoom more than the 3x.

    Air 3 Zoom in 3x photo?

    Welcome to the forum! I would be happy to do this later this evening after work if someone does not beat me to it. Only problem I have is I cannot remember the last time I even read or had a newspaper. But I will find something with writing on and do it for you.

    Some more initial thoughts

    Good and valid findings. I have many of the same except item 1. Of course every user is going to have different findings and experience. In my particular situation I live in a busy downtown area with lots of high rise living which of course lends to over saturation of Wi-Fi, cell phone, etc...

    trouble transferring fly safe geo zone unlock to drone

    It prompted me on the first try this evening. Unlike the evening before it just kept repeating the ‘unlock successful’ but would not clear it in the drone. It might have been in an update.

    trouble transferring fly safe geo zone unlock to drone

    UPDATE I was able to get this to work this evening. One different thing happened that was different than yesterday. This evening it asked me to enter my phone number to verify my account. I then received a text with a code to enter into the RC. I did this and then was prompted one more time...
