Well, I did put the battery back in this afternoon and fired it up and was able to shut it down. Went flying and took some photos and everything seems to work as it always has. Problem gone. Resolution???? No idea. But apparently I can take out the battery to shut it down if all else fails...

The battery ran down sometime overnight. I pulled it out and it recharges ok. Last night, short press followed by long press, as I have done over the years would only result in two beeps and no shut down. When I continued this process and hold the power button longer, the battery light would...

I haven't flown my Air 3 for about a year. I just charged up the batteries and downloaded the latest upgrade firmware to get ready for tomorrow but now cannot shut down the aircraft. I read somewhere that it's not good to pull the battery out of a powered up device so guess I'll just let the...

Then when you get home, just charge them back up to 60%. With the Air 3 charging hub charging 3 batteries, what is the best way to stop charging the batteries at 60%?

Wow! Very nice work in a very beautiful place I did not know existed. And unspoiled. Extremely nice. Thanks for sharing.

I found this thread trying to figure out how to get POI to work with an Air 3 when used in a waypoint mission. I finally got it to work after reading many posts, looking at youtube vids, this thread and reading the manual over and over about six times. Seems like one of the keys is flying...

I am well clear of the Savannah class C to the west and also Hunter to the south just primarily working along the river edge and then back over the downtown area of Savannah. Thank you for the results of your research. I’ll just move into a public area and go along With business as usual.

Understood. Seems like my best bet is just to move into a public area, but since I am trying to do a saved waypoint flight to come back later after dark and reshoot, I want to make sure that I don’t get all set up and then find the area I’m in is not authorized because of some local ordinance.

Arrived a few days ago. Inquired about flying Air 3 from property and received ok. I should have gotten it in writing. After a couple of days security approached me as I landed and said the Marriott was private property and drone flights were not allowed. Tried to find the concierge person who...

Very fine work. I like how you worked in the hyperlapse at the 1:25 to 1:33 mark. Excellent job. Your work looks like you have years of professional experience.

I did not think of that. I’ll try today. Thanks for the tip.

Just arrived in South Palm Beach, FL on vacation with my Air 3 and RC controller and getting the "authorization zone” flag preventing me from taking off. I’m 2.99 miles east of the Lantana airport. Tried LAANC and it says my location is no issue. I see one post saying I need to be connected to...

I promised I would get back to everyone on the outcome of this and at the moment this is leaving a very sour taste in my mouth with DJI. You may want to go back and read my original post (# 1) to see where all this started. The Air 3 I now have with the new core board or the new Air 3 they...

Hmmm. I may be interpreting this wrong but are you suggesting I can adjust while a hyperlapse is in progress? Can I do that?

Meta4 has given me an idea. I think I need to keep the shutter speed constant as I want the motion blur for traffic so I see the aircraft, A3, allows me to keep the shutter speed constant and let the ISO auto adjust. Of course, for the next 50 attempts there will probably not be a bright day...
