    RC Pro antenna replacement

    Thanks for that. I did order the part from them. After looking into what's involved with the disassembly of the RC Pro I'm hoping I can just swap the antenna cover as you mention. We'll see.

    RC Pro antenna replacement

    Due to a careless mistake on my part I managed to break one of my antennas. The break is right at the joint between the swivel mount and antenna body. The mini-coax solder joint to the antenna PCB is visible and intact, thankfully. After some testing it appears to be mostly a cosmetic issue for...

    M3 OEM ND filters

    From what I have seen the answer to this question is no but just thought I'd ask in case anyone knows a source: are the DJI OEM ND filters available for purchase other than as a complete set? i.e. can you buy just an ND16 filter by itself?

    Flying in St. Lucia?

    Glad it worked out and nice pic! Many beautiful spots on that island. I really miss that water!

    Flying in St. Lucia?

    I would bring it. The island is very beautiful with some amazing topography and incredible blue water. Many areas are very rural and would be easy to fly at. And while I would never advocate for breaking any laws, a place like St. Lucia is on true island time. No one is in any real hurry to do...

    Mavic 3 hacks

    Before mainstream FPV I had a custom CF frame with 14" props running a Naza I flew in full manual a few times. Truly wild and insane. Could flip faster than any 3D heli. Had to be on your toes for sure.

    Flying in St. Lucia?

    You're welcome. Sorry I don't have any info about the ATC requirements. If you find out anything please do post back. And be sure to get some chocolate while you're there. Many excellent cacao plantations there that produce amazing chocolate!

    Flying in St. Lucia?

    I flew there quite a bit over the course of several days working on a tourism campaign. Very interesting place and geography. Many beautiful areas of jungle, mountains, beaches and stunning blue water. The twin peaks are iconic. I was there in 2018 and never contacted any ATC. Those...

    Bad news to everyone, RID was already active in 01.00.0800 firmware and the drone appears in OpenDroneID app.

    Ha- that's an interesting idea. I forgot the RC Pro is an Android device. And just to clarify, DroneScanner can be installed on iOS devices. I have done that. The app we're interested in for Android is OpenDroneID.

    Negative, I did not. I would like to but I don't own any Android devices. EDIT: I should add I did try the newest version of DroneScanner (released just the other day) and it too did not detect anything. I realize it's capabilities (on an iPhone) are different than what it can detect on...

    I have a few Anker power banks. Not sure what the power draw is on the RID RX but I have a feeling a 2.2Ah bank would power it for over a week.

    Bad news to everyone, RID was already active in 01.00.0800 firmware and the drone appears in OpenDroneID app.

    Just spent some time with my Mavic 3 and the new v2.4 RID RX from Dave at MHDS. My M3C with .0800 FW does not broadcast RID. I looked at every available setting to see if it was user selectable but could not find anything. Will be interesting to hear the results from others but it seems like the...

    No, thank you. I was just curious. And this is very interesting.
