I've been an RC enthusiast since the color designated frequencies (orange & white, etc...) built up a Gentle Lady sailplane with an electric motor and "Heavy" ni-cad batteries that wouldn't climb above about 5', lol. Career consisted of family farming, multiple delivery driver and managerial...

Any updates?

Mavic 3 Enterprise, RC Pro controller, both with updated software as of 11/4/24. Previously (2 months ago) had used DSM files downloaded from internet directly to RC Pro, worked as advertised. Yesterday, repeated process, to fly still photo imaging missions with downloaded DSM files, with AGL...

Any cure for this? My flights had been syncing seamlessly until 3 weeks ago, then stopped. I've uninstalled & reinstalled the Air Data App ( ver. 2.0.199, build 199) but nothing seems to work. Tried manually syncing, but flights that show up in DJI FLY are not syncing. Running Android S20FE5G...

Thanks for this Greg. I hadn't dug into the sales demographics on the Mini 3 Pro and had guessed it was more evenly split between user types. Still, DJI should offer a user activated option to override the RFID off with the small battery. A Part 107 pilot has already gone to the trouble to learn...

Listening again closely to Greg's narrative he did say " The Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro", not "The Mini 3 Pro and the Mini 4 Pro", so maybe the Mini 3 Pro isn't affected? Confusing as the image used is of the Mini 3 Pro and the Mini 4 Pro.

Since viewing this Pilot Institute weekly update, I've been searching in vain trying to find any details, including the update number. As reported, a "recent" update has removed RFID when using the 249g battery. Anybody have any information on this? If true, it's a really dumb ( or shrewd)...

Totally agree with this. I got my Mini 3 Pro after reading Active track did a great job with follow-me, wrong! My M3P can't even follow a One-wheel rider going less than 10mph. It'll lock on and follow for a bit and when the One-wheel makes a turn more than about 45°, the drone looses subject...

@Big Ransom Studio That is a most excellent detailed explanation on liability for a prospective drone start up to ponder. Thank you for taking the time to put your experience in writing for us to digest.

A responsible pilot will check before flying. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.faa.b4ufly2&hl=en_US

As a 25 year commercially rated helicopter pilot, I can say unequivocally that you haven't a clue as to how manned aircraft operations are conducted and have no business making such statements. Those H-60 helos were operating in a TFR at appropriate altitudes and probably the only reason they...

No one here is impressed and I would venture to guess that includes Bobby Goldsboro!

Am I interpreting this correctly in that you are flying a Mini 4 Pro with a RC-N1 controller? I'm possibly interested in swapping my M3P for a MP4, but want to retain my RC-N1 controller using my S20FE phone and Tab6 tablet. Thanks for clarifying. Edit: Please disregard. Found elsewhere the...

@Droning on and on... Thank you for the insight. While I appreciate the Air 3 recommendation, not wanting to take a loss on my M3P and start over, I'll probably just go the Dronelink route as it's available now and waiting for Litchi support could be a long time, if at all.

Reading between the lines here, should a guy with a Mini3 Pro wanting to do mapping/ waypoint flight just bite the bullet and go with Dronelink? Sounds like this is going to be a long time coming, if at all. My hesitation with Dronelink is their basemaps are not Google maps and as I...
