    Follow Me Drone Recommendations

    DJI improved the tracking on the Mini 4 Pro and the Air 3 - they both work way better than past DJI drones. You can see lots of videos on YouTube testing them. But like Felix Le Chat and JDubyaM stated, it is hard to beat the Skydio2 (starting at $1099). I'm not sure that the DJI will follow...

    Drone decibel ratings.

    This is the label on the bottom of my DJI Air-3. 81 dB LWA means "A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the 1-meter bystander position". While the noise level is subjective, the Air-3 seems to have less high-frequency noise than most other similar-sized drones. It is more of a low-hum...

    How do I delete old waypoint missions on the Air 3 & Mini 4 Pro with the RC 2?

    I've searched all over the forums, on YouTube, and Google, but can't find the answer to my question: how do you delete old DJI Waypoint Missions? Pilots talk about poking around with File Explorer, but I don't want to delete them all, just a few of them. Now that I've begun using DJI's...

    Unable to link Mini 4 Pro with new RC 2

    Sorry, did not see you message until just now. I'm pretty that the link you posted above is exactly what I did, and it worked properly. Thanks for your help!

    Unable to link Mini 4 Pro with new RC 2

    I did update the firmware via the old controller. Just FYI, I contacted DJI onlilne, and they were very helpful. I *did* have to unbind the old R/C from the aircraft first. Once it was unbound, then the binding sequence above worked properly. I specifically asked her if this would affect my...

    Unable to link Mini 4 Pro with new RC 2

    Yes, that is my "back and forth", the LEDs are flashing in "sequence" showing it is in pairing mode. The RC 2's Blue LED is on, showing that it is in pairing mode. Yet, they never "pair". I have Care Refresh. I did bind the original controller to the drone. Do you know how to "unbind" the...

    Unable to link Mini 4 Pro with new RC 2

    I purchased a Mini 4 Pro (along with the "basic" Remote Controller) a few months ago, and have not had any issues. After tiring of always having to attach my cellphone to the top of the RC, decided to spend the $$ and buy the RC 2 (which has the screen built-in). It arrived today. I charged...

    RID apps for Android and iOS....is there a lot of them to choose from ?

    I've tried a couple. Air Sentinel for Android is one. It worked. I have also tried Drone Scanner on my iPad, which also works. Give those a try. Keep in mind that the "built-in" RID transmissions do not "turn on" until you actually take off with the DJI drones that have it "built-in". Here...

    Launching/landing from a water craft.

    I'd consider myself an advanced drone pilot, but I had a serious problem trying to land my DJI Mini 3 Pro in a 2-man Kayak, even though I was able to launch no problem. Here is a video my buddy took of me trying to land my drone in my hand - it was pretty difficult: The problem turned out to...

    SkyPixel - Uploaded videos cannot be watched

    That looks like possibly a rogue codec has replaced the default Windows codec - that is what is showing you the Asian language message error. Sometimes installing software will do this. Like if you buy a new digital camera and install its software (never needed), it will become the "default"...

    SkyPixel - Uploaded videos cannot be watched

    I've got fiber to my house, and it still took a minute or two to download and play. Seems fine. Your copy on YouTube loads & plays instantly. The footage is beautiful. It amazes me that teenagers everywhere are the same. Always glued to their cellphones like it is a part of their hand. :)

    Mini 3 Pro battery in Mini 4 Pro

    There is no "Air 4 Pro" that I'm aware of. The newest Air model is the Air 3. Did you mean "Does the Mavic 3 Pro battery fit in the Air 3?"

    Just FYI, I tried the Etsy website posted above, and they appear to have a $50 minimum order, even if it only costs $20 per item. There doesn't appear to be any place to enter what color, or what type of filament you would like it to be printed on.
