    Strobes lights for MP4

    Takes all of 10 seconds to pull both my strobes out, press the power button and attach to the fasteners that I previously positioned on the drone. If you know of a strobe as you described, please post to this string, (not sure it exists), but curious if it does, what the cost and size would be.

    Strobes lights for MP4

    Older Strobon Cree strobes (not sure they sell them anymore), still very bright. I use 3M fasteners (stronger hold than velcro IMO). On my M4P I have one on top front, and second on bottom rear (one for anti-collision, and one for my VLOS). If I were to buy new ones today, would probably opt...

    Mini 4 Pro NJ Sunset

    About 18.5 miles away in the horizon you can see the Philadelphia city skyline. Only digital 3x zoom with the mini, so not very clear in this image, but kind of neat seeing the sun reflecting. Also including a close up view from another flight.

    DJI Air 3 Charging Question

    Not sure what you meant by if it’s compatible with the Fly More Combo bag. It’s pretty much the same size as the DJI hub, so if that fits then this will (included pics of both side by side). Included pic of my backpack I use to carry my Air3 and Mini 4 Pro, etc. It works perfectly with my...

    Battery Charging Issue with Power Station

    This set up works perfectly, just got and tested the new charging hub mentioned above with the new power bank. Charging from the power bank to the A3 battery @ 85w. A3 battery went from 61% to 75% in just a few minutes of testing. I also tried using this same power bank with the original...

    DJI Air 3 Charging Question

    Got new power bank (PB) and new hub today. Tested using the PB 1st with DJI hub and same result as before - A3 batteries were charging the PB, not the PB charging the A3 batts as I wanted. I then used the new hub and wa-la, PB charging the A3 battery at 85w, so charging quickly. Now I can...

    DJI Air 3 Charging Question

    PD marked on box and documents inside. Also seems to be charging Air3 battery at 85w (see pics), A3 battery jumped from 61% to 75% in just a few minutes.

    DJI Air 3 Charging Question

    Don’t believe user error - other strings in the forum with no clear answer why the Air3 hub won’t prevent charge from reversing direction. I’ll look at link you sent, but have been searching for answer the last year, without success (maybe this has changed - if so I’ll return the new hub).

    DJI Air 3 Charging Question

    Thanks - only actually would want to charge 1 battery at time with power bank - thinking could re-charge one up while flying with one of other two charged batts. Since I rarely fly beyond 20% remaining I should be able to squeeze 3 charge ups from this setup. Worth it for a $40 power bank...

    DJI Air 3 Charging Question

    Maybe you can share the formula for the setup I’m trying (just ordered this powerbank, and new hub). Hoping to be able to recharge a battery at least 4 or maybe 5 times (worst case 3x). With 3 batteries, that will keep me flying for more time than I’ll ever want to spend in the air in a day...

    Battery Charging Issue with Power Station

    I had the same issue you describe. I just saw this hub on Amazon - ordered and getting in couple days. Will let you know if it solves my issues. See you have power bank already - I just ordered an inexpensive one to throw in backpack at same time...

    Discharging batteries into a power bank

    Just saw this in Amazon - going to see if this configuration will work. Problem I’ve been having is the DJI hub has a USB-C that will both discharge or accept charge, but most power banks have a pd port in/out so when I’m trying to recharge Air3 battery I found in fact that the Air3 battery is...
