    This Hacker Tool Can Pinpoint a DJI Drone Operator’s Exact Location Every DJI quadcopter broadcasts its operator’s position via radio—unencrypted. Now

    Tempest in a teapot. I am a ham radio operator as well and I could do this....but why would I want to? Your drone is broadcasting a very low power and short range transmission. That means someone would have to be within a few hundred meters or so, have the necessary equipment and have a real...

    Syncing Video to Android device

    The Android file transfer app works well for the DJI RC controller. This is a Mac program but there should be one for Windows as well I would assume.

    Screen recording format / altitude readout

    O.K. That is a point that should probably be made clear in the manual unless I missed it. I was thinking that since the GPS receiver is in the drone and not the remote control that as the drone moves it would calculate the drone's current height above the ground which of course would fluctuate...

    Screen recording format / altitude readout

    Thanks! I was assuming that to stay within the regs that its 400 feet above terrain from the drone’s perspective where it is currently at. So if you fly into ascending terrain you can climb above your 400' homepoint but should descend on the way back. I live in a rather unpopulated area so...

    Screen recording format / altitude readout

    Hi; Only have had the mini 3 pro and controller for a few days and have two questions that I can’t answer yet after searching. 1) I have apple products and like to record in .mov format. I put the drone camera into .mov and it records as it should. That doesn’t appear to affect the RC...

    Hello from the U.P.

    Pretty amazing little device. I did the Trust training and registered the drone so cleared to fly officially. Was sunny early this morning but a bit gusty and we're still deep in winter up here but after taking off and hovering around for awhile I went up a few hundred feet above the trees and...

    Hello from the U.P.

    Got the drone kit for that I am thankful. I did the updates and a very short test flight. Only complaint so far is why in the world doesn't DJI include their 30 watt USB charger when you are spending close to 1K? That and the USB-C to USB-C cables are a mite short but there are work arounds...

    Hello from the U.P.

    I'm learning more about patience as I'm getting older. Was expecting the drone kit this past Thursday and sure enough it arrived at the work location. Went to work and the box was pretty light and beaten up and looked like it had been opened. Sure enough the drone and RC controller were...

    Hello from the U.P.

    Got to like the snow and cold. It will be interesting to see how Mr. Drone likes it.

    Hello from the U.P.

    Hi all; Just joined the board this afternoon and looking forward to the hobby. I have been a licensed private pilot since 1992 and have flown radio controlled airplanes and helicopters in the past. (Boy, are the helicopters hard to fly....LOL). I am also a weather buff being a pilot and hold...
