    Mini 4 Pro over heating

    I find that the best way to avoid overheating on my mini 4 pro is to place it inside my refrigerator a few minutes before I power it up. It still communicates with the controller and never overheats.

    dji fly new update app not installed

    When I updated to the new firmware, I noticed that it was taking longer than usual. To avoid overheating the Mini 4 Pro, I placed it in my refrigerator after the first 10 minutes and this trick kept the drone cool throughout the update process. If you live in a hot climate and worry about...

    What is the real world distances for a Min4 pro

    The mini 4 pro is capable of far greater distances than most jurisdictions permit, so it should have all the range anyone reasonably needs in a recreational drone. In Canada, sub-250g drones are not restricted by their range, since there is the overall requirement not to be reckless in the use...

    Be aware of SD card !

    What I have noticed is that the issues I have encountered so far happened when using 128G SD cards. I am now trying 64G card and so far, no problems. I have also noticed that the problem usually shows up when I am flying the bird and my left hand accidently touches the left side of the RC 2...

    Be aware of SD card !

    Here are the answers to your questions: After the SD card is full and after all files have been transferred to my PC, I usually format the SD card in the Mini 4 Pro. I never just delete one file in the field. Why would you transfer to 3 physically separate storage devices??

    RTH Question ?

    If you apply the manual quoted by MS_Coast, then the drone's RTH behavior when the lighting is insufficient and the vision sensors are unable to see obstacles, would be to ascend straight up to the set RTH altitude before moving to the Home Point? It seems to me that the only safe way for the...

    Be aware of SD card !

    Since I posted my message yesterday, I have looked into programs that can recover data from media such as hard drives and SD cards. I found that I could still see the video files that my computer cannot read from the SD card. They are still on the SD card, and I have added further files to the...

    Be aware of SD card !

    I have experienced SD cards which cannot be read by my Windows PC. The cards are Sandisk Extreme Plus 128g V30 U3 A2 cards. It often happens after shooting that I plug the transfer cable to the Mini 4 Pro to copy the files and I'm told that the card can't be read and I must format the card...

    Mini 4Pro Remote Control Settings

    That's what I plan to do in future. I see no need for the SD card. It appears that others have had the same questions regarding the RC2 and DJI has not really done a good job to explain the differences between the Mini 3 Pro and the Mini 4 Pro as it relates to storage of screen recordings.

    Mini 4Pro Remote Control Settings

    I also found this method for copying internal screen recordings to the SD card, tried it and it works: I think I have found a way to subvert this and copy a screen recording to the SD card in 9 simple steps … - swipe down twice on the controller to get the quick screen, and press and hold the...

    Mini 4Pro Remote Control Settings

    After exploring the DJI Support Forum under the heading of: "Where are the Screen Recordings stored on the SD Card of the RC2?" The comments make it very clear that it is impossible to store screen recordings to the RC2, contrary to the Mini 3 Pro system where screen recordings are stored on the...

    Mini 4Pro Remote Control Settings

    Update to today's earlier message on the amount of storage on the RC2. In fact, it does have 32GB of storage.
