Interesting read.... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/drone-hacking-made-easy-180961052/ https://www.kaspersky.com/resource-center/threats/can-drones-be-hacked

Just want to thank everyone for their time and participation in this discussion. The reason I started the chat was to gain as much knowledge as possible from the drone community and better understand what happened on the final flight. I'll try to summarize... 1) First of all, DJI was...

Having now read the mini 4k manual a couple of times I would say that it is terribly inadequate. It tells you where to change the home point but not how. It also gives very little information about how to use the map. I also had previously looked for training videos in DJI Fly and could find...

Here is an example. All logs are the same, a second Home Point Updated (Code;123200) at 6.0 seconds. Is this normal? because you said it was due to "a manual change to the homepoint which was done through the app" https://www.phantomhelp.com/logviewer/20250115WEM6CBB7RPGW6FLRDM3BFUFMYJRPO89G

Hi Meta4...I reviewed a dozen of my flight logs this morning and every onesets a home point at around 2 seconds and then another at 6.0 seconds...I'm pretty sure I could not have manually updated my home position at exactly 6 seconds. What's with that?

Is there information in the flight log that tells you what I did or is it process of elimination (since I didn't do the first two Is there information in the flight log that tells you what I did or is it process of elimination (since I didn't do the first two I must have done the third)?

If you have a mini 4k that's understandable because the manual does not have this information in it. It tells you that the home point can be updated in the safety menu but has no information on how to do it.

Live and learn...I've had a replacement for about a month now and guess what, it's still in the box.

I'm going to go with that.

Can these drones be hacked and sent to their doom?

Thank-you, I understand the proceedure now but was unaware of it at the time of the incident. Again, I did not enter this safety menu and did not change the home location in this way.

Yes it would have but with my limited experience at that time I was only flying short distances where I could see the drone and retrieve it manually. I was unaware of how to change the home point.

No it is not and I definitely did not perform the proceedure outlined in the manual as I was unaware of it at the time.

I can assure you that I did not change the RTH position using the safety menu as outlined in the manual.

Thanks, There has been no answer there yet. I'll watch.
