The exact same thing happened to me with the Air 3 about a month ago. I didn't post about it because it was in camera mode and had no video to show. I thought it had been struck and lost it for sure. As I recall, about 15 seconds passed before it reconnected with the remote and showed it...

This is correct. I have purchased a permit for $5 (looks like it may have gone up to $10), which is available from November through February, and have done the same at Goosenecks and Goblin Valley. Each time the rangers ask to avoid certain areas, such as the housing quarters at Goblin or the...

Routes 12 & 14 are 2-lane roads with varying speed limits. Route 14 would take you out of your way, but if you have the time to take 12 from 89, that road is considered one of Utah's most scenic roads and well worth it. Route 12 goes right past Bryce Canyon and ends at Torrey, where you can...

There’s a well maintained unpaved road off of 89 heading SE out of Kanab which goes to Paria - a former town where part of a set from The Outlaw Josey Wales was filmed. The set has been flooded out, burned down, and vandalized - not sure how many times, but in that area are some beautiful views...

The Factory Butte area is mostly flat. If you don’t feel comfortable with a 2WD vehicle, as you continue down 24 toward Capitol Reef there are many buttes which have similar characteristics and you can fly from the side of the road. I used a Mini 2 there and it performed well, catching some nice...

Hi, you are heading to some great locations. I've flown at all you mentioned except snow canyon. I couldn't find any information about Coral Pink Sand Dunes, so I flew from outside of the park on a very cold and snowy day when no one was around. The guard post was vacant and I didn't find any...

In the case of the person I mentioned, he wasn't being impatient. He was new to the platform and didn't know to wait. I agree with DougMcC and follow the same ritual. Getting GPS was shorthand for waiting for the M3 to be controllable as expected and not meant to be misleading.

Do you know whether you acquired enough satellites before flying? A friend took off with his Mavic 3 Cine before getting to the minimum and immediately lost control and crashed. He used his refresh to receive a replacement.

Out of the box, my RC Pro remote would consistently disconnect, even when located inches away, so I tried the Mavic 3 with a remote from the Air 2S and it worked without an issue. At least that limited the troubleshooting to the remote. I contacted DJI via their chat platform and explained the...

"Traditionally" is a good way to put it, and if the new method becomes problematic, it shouldn't take long for examples to show up in videos and forums. Personally, I hope to see DJI add options they have already developed. For example, there are two features I find useful in the FPV and Mini...

I've had this same issue and believe it's related to the RC Pro. I was able to pair the M3C with the Air 2S controller and the disconnects ceased. I purchased two Mavic 3 Cine packages at the same time directly from DJI (the other for my brother) and he wasn't even able to complete the...

I use Highpoint Tech SAS arrays on my systems with dedicated PCI-e cards. They also make Thunderbolt solutions, but prefer the card because it handles all of the RAID management and performance. The performance is outstanding, even in a RAID 5 config. I also use a series of Synology NAS...

Yes, same issue you described. My guess is they haven’t smoothly worked out how to transition between DJI Fly and DJI Go4. I’ve been doing as you described - re-linking. Fortunately, once linked the name is recognized. I was dealing with this a few times yesterday and came here today to see if...

Your video started my day with a huge smile. Heading back to Utah in a couple of weeks, where the landscape seems to never give up on spectacular. Thanks for sharing such a personal journey. Your handheld and drone shots gave an excellent sense of size, scale, and difficulty.

DJI has the unit and the logs, so I'll see what they find. The digest for anyone to take away: It appears auto-land initiates at 11% battery on the Air 2S. RTH kicks in with more than enough time to get home. Even though I cancelled all RTH warnings on previous flights and flew awhile longer...
