    Good deal on SanDisk Extreme PRO MicroSD Cards

    Back when cell phones had card slots, I preferred using Samsung microSD cards. Now I use their NVMe drives in my desktop computer. I've always been impressed with the performance, quality, and reliability of their solid state storage products.

    Wanting to understand "Power Banks" and what I'll need....

    Nice laptop :) I don't think the typical power bank would keep that beast alive for more than a few minutes. You might want to look at portable power stations. Amazon still has some good deals, including half off on several DJI portable power stations.

    Good deal on SanDisk Extreme PRO MicroSD Cards

    There is a Chinese seller on eBay that has a good deal on SanDisk Extreme PRO microSD cards. I purchased two 512GB SanDisk Extreme Pro micro SD cards from them for $30.95 each. Total with shipping was $67.01 Delivery took 18 days. No tariff or import fees. It looks like they are out of the 512GB...

    Starting A Little Late In Life.....

    I live is a similar environment where I have a lot of oak trees and not a lot of open sky. I would suggest finding a spot where you can launch with a clear view of the sky. It's doesn't need to be a huge open space, just enough that if your drone does invoke RTH, it won't try to plow through...

    Can't log into account to unlock distance and altitude on Neo

    Can you logon and fly using just a phone and no controller? What type of controller? Using your phone or a computer, go to www.dji.com and confirm you are able to logon to your account (make sure your logon and password are valid). After that, make sure your controller is connected to wifi...

    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    Don't let Dronecation get to you :) Dronecation appears to think the problem is people "ratting" and "tattling" on others, while concerns about public safety promote hysteria. I doubt there is anything you can say or show him that will change his mind.

    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    Because you have negative feeling about this person, and you know that it would be a **** move if the only reason you were to report him was personal animus. However, this person is engaging in unsafe behavior that could put others at risk and damage our collective reputations. Reporting him is...

    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    We live in a society where our most successful members flagrantly break the rules. You are pissed because someone is getting accolades for breaking the rules while you get sidelined for obeying them.

    Cannot get the DJI RC Pro 2 to work

    Try: [Enter Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data(factory reset)] The settings are accessed by swiping down twice from the top of the screen. Here's a quick video that show the steps (the steps are the same for the RC Pro 2):

    New to drones, was on VA property/I'm a patient, quick test flight, arrest by VA cops, jailed, 8 fed charges

    As ridiculous as it seems, I would take it seriously. You probably should have asserted your right to remain silent and to demand an attorney rather than allow them to interrogate you. Even what you are posting here could be used by the Feds if they thought it would help their case. I sincerely...

    File Handling Issue with USB and D-LogM.

    I just shot 5 seconds of D-Log M on my Mavic 4 Pro. I connected directly to my Windows 11 PC and file explorer opened showing me the internal storage without any issues: Are you connecting directly to the PCs or are you using a hub? Try direct if you are using a hub. Have you tried a...

    which neo 2 pack should i get ?

    That is a nice shot! It is noisy, but that can be fixed. This is what your example looks like after a quick run through Topaz Photo:

    How screwed am I?

    As Meta4 mentioned, I was incorrect. My concern did not apply to you. Glad it's working!

    How screwed am I?

    As other's have said, you should be fine. Just check to make sure the drone is unbound (meaning it's not currently registered as belonging to someone else). You can do this by powering everything up and then tapping the profile icon along the bottom of the screen. If it's bound, you'll see the...
