    An expensive privacy lesson

    Neighbor coming to my door, check. I was preparing to send my DJI Mini 3 Pro to DJI for a warranty fix/replacement due to jello effect in videos shot in orbit, maximum speed in sport mode. I lifted the drone above my house and did a full speed orbit at an altitude of about 47 meters. The drone...

    pros and cons of the new mini 4 pro

    I just flew the Mini 4 Pro at the same location with Mini 3 Pro, in a highly wifi polluted area. OS4 is a significant upgrade over the OS3. The signal remains strong where the OS3 would turn red and initiate RTH. Very happy with the Mini 4 Pro upgrade. It burns through the plus batteries a...

    Using waypoints created on Mavic 3 Classic with a Mini 4 pro

    I found the problem. The drone maximum height was set to 120m and I had a waypoint set to 123 m. As soon as I increased the maximum height for the drone, the waypoints worked. There is a very small difference between the images shot with Mavic 3 Classic (FOV 84 degrees) and Mini 4 Pro (FOV...

    Using waypoints created on Mavic 3 Classic with a Mini 4 pro

    Waypoints were between 40 to 90 meters. Well below any limit of the area or the aircraft. I created a new set of waypoint in more or less the same location and using the exact same take off point and it worked perfectly. Waypoints created with Mavic 3 Classic, refused to work.

    Air 3 or Mavic 3 Classic?

    I did :) Anyway, just saying, don't be so sure about what other people will or will not enjoy.

    Air 3 or Mavic 3 Classic?

    That's the beauty of living in regions like USA or European Union. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

    Air 3 or Mavic 3 Classic?

    Cameras on Air 3 are like toys compared to the Hasselblad on the Mavic 3 Classic. I had an Air 3 and I returned. Big disappointment in photographic quality.

    Using waypoints created on Mavic 3 Classic with a Mini 4 pro

    I tried today to use the waypoints on a mini 4 pro and I get the message: maximum altitude reached, waypoints stopped. It looks like I will have to start from scratch.

    Using waypoints created on Mavic 3 Classic with a Mini 4 pro

    I can use the same Android phone to fly both drones, no need to move the waypoints. I will purchase the mini 4 pro and give it a try.

    Search and Rescue

    Why "descend as far as safely possible"? What's wrong with taking the shot from high above?

    Search and Rescue

    You put the cross-hairs on the subject looking vertically down.

    Search and Rescue

    Take a photo with the drone. Then you can look up the exif of the photo for the GPS coordinates.

    Using waypoints created on Mavic 3 Classic with a Mini 4 pro

    Is such a thing possible? Long story short, I started a project, the return for that project turns out to be peanuts, I do not want to use the expensive Mavic 3 Classic to shoot daily waypoints shots. I am planning to purchase a Mini 4 Pro for 1/3 of the price. Will the waypoints still work on...

    Remote landing on a high-rise roof top

    If you want to smuggle something, you don't really need to land the drone. Aliexpress is full of drone dropping devices. Also, landing and then taking off again is not possible in the absence of connection between drone and controller. So out of range waypoints and reserve battery and charger...
