Will be heading out to AZ and NM in a few weeks, to do some drone and camera photography around hoodoos and bentonite. There are a couple of areas that look very colorful/interesting on Google Earth, that are designated wilderness. I clearly cannot take off/land from within the wilderness, but...

Interesting, still showing as "update availabke" for me. Will pass for now, have an important trip coming up later this week, don't need any surprises from DJI unless they are in the positive direction

Just got a notification that an firmware update is available for the bird. I am on 01.01.700 and I can't find any information about a newer firmware. What is going on? I am reluctant to update before I know what functionality I am going to loose. RC is on 01.03.2000

Should but almost never does. Snuggling - technically since the drone is over $800 you need to pay import duties if you declare it.

But that will not work unless you are smuggling it in and don't care about warranty.

I am not sure they are waiting for tomorrow. According to this article they have not sent review samples to US entities https://www.theverge.com/tech/665418/dji-mavic-4-pro-no-us-launch-specs-price-release-date Review samples have $0 formal commercial value so they would not be impacted by...

Used to have an Air 2S. It was an easy choice over the Mini 3/4 pro. The dynamic range and shadow details are not even close. Sold the Air 2s to get a used Mavic 3 pro. Mostly for the tele lenses. I fly in the mountains a lot and the tele lenses are an enabler for certain kind of shots. If it...

Thanks for the comments everyone. Yes, I was just looking for a quick 3-shot horizontal pano option. As noted by @BingBong above I can do that manually. I do my own pano stitching anyway. The 21 shots is a) just too many files to deal with and b) takes too long for the files to be streamed...

That was my assumption, but I checked several times. I will try again today after work.

Today I tried for the first time to do some still panos with the new (to me) Mavic 3 Pro. Vertical pano - 3 shots Wide angle pano - 9 shots Horizontal pano ..... 21 shots?!?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot... Anyone knows what's going on and how to fix it?

Me three. Unused to hate drones in the wilderness. I still don't fly them when there is anyone else around because I remember how much I hated the overhead buzzing. But as long as you don't stick to brain-dead top-down views a drone can be pretty sweet. I mostly use it for the one and only...

My inquiry That should to get their heart rate up a bit. If they bite I will stretch out the fun. Do you ship? I insist that you ship for free. I am waiting on my tax refund to send the money.

There is probably an EPROM on the PCB that records the charge cycles. With the right equipment an EPROM can be made to read anything you want it to. With that said, you need to know the format in which to write the data so that the firmware can read it. That can be reverse engineered with...

They are. The most recent one I received (4th) had zero cycles. Just some surface scuffs. Probably factory seconds.

Complete at least 20 hours of ground school and successfully pass a flight review I guess many 😜 will continue to practice BYO BVLOS in the middle of nowhere
