    Mini 3 Pro zoom stopped working?

    I am a new drone user. On 6/2/23 I did all software updates on Mini 3 Pro drone and controller with screen. During test flights everything worked fine including using the zoom wheel on the right bumper of the controller. At some point, perhaps after the flights, I adjusted recording setting to...

    Which drone to check on my roof, etc, and maybe for fun?

    Yeah I did the Trust certificate. I also bought the Fly More Plus kit, and then did the FAA registration since the bigger batteries push it over 250 grams. Or at least that's what I thought I was supposed to do. Landing pad is a good idea. Right now it takes off from my deck which has enough...

    Which drone to check on my roof, etc, and maybe for fun?

    I always wanted a drone but did not think I could justify the expense. But more recently I feel like maybe able to justify it. I bought a new house. We get a lot of storms and sometimes a little bit damage. Is there a drone that is more suitable for hovering right over a roof and closely...
