Congratulations! The technology in the devices today are incredible. Unlike the earlier generations, the units today are "smart" devices having the ability to initiate a host of options to correct the issue, which often don't require defibrillation; absolutely amazing! I authored the very...

I’ve had my home owners replace mine since it was personal property, you may check there if applicable. Last known gps coordinates off the app ca get you to the crash site. A fisherman with a side scanning fish finder can locate the drone if the water isn’t too deep. Just some thoughts, wish...

It does work very well but there is a time limit on when you can purchase DJI Care Refresh after the initial purchase of your drone. If this is a new drone, are your purchase has been recent enough that you qualify to purchase Care Care Refresh, then there is an entry fee to join the care...

I have 3 MPP and probably have the highest crash record on the forum simply because of pushing the envelope, and doing so really stupid stuff. I like distance flying over the trees here in the Tennessee countryside. DJI drones are a love hate relationship for me. The technology is incredible...

It's not a screen by definition as you seek but have you tried the DJI goggles? I'm sure they aren't for everyone but to me, they take drone flying to a whole new experience. I've bought two pair for the family, and thinking of getting a third for our latest Mavic. The HUD, along with the head...

Hey from Tennessee, welcome!

At first glance at your post, I thought to my self, (this guy is probably a pilot). It revealing just how fast incidents can occur. **** good composure by the POC... obviously not his first rodeo. And yes, the mass of a hard shelled Mavic battery compared to a fluffy feathered, hollow boned...

Hoping you located your drone by now but if not, the Mavic Pro is difficult to detect in a tree. I just recovered one about a week back that sat 90 feet up a tree for three days in the rain. I too lost signal and only after driving to the last known position did it reconnect and provide an...

the suspense is killing me

what sort of issue are you having? I've got three working remotes, and one not. It failed due to a dry solder joint on a power connector. I've dissembled at least three and found that DJI is using multiple suppliers as the components vary; even in units purchased in the same year. Unlike...

Welcome! This is certainly the place for in depth ideas for photography, and any thing else drone related.

"Aviation pioneer Cal Rodgers was the first person to die from a bird strike in 1912 " "According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), between 1990 and 2013, there were 25 human fatalities attributed to wildlife strikes with US civil aircraft. In the same period there were 279 recorded...

I was redirected here as a result from a sarcastic fellow Mississippian, but I suppose that's fodder for another thread. There seems to be a lot of support for DJI in their attack on the university for the drone/wing impact video. I'm sure the wing of a Mooney was chose over others due in part...

As we say here in the US' "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". On a couple of repair that involved Mfg error, I simply called DJI and once I have a rep on the phone ask to speak to their supervisor. Keep doing this each tome someone new comes to the phone until eventually you reach the top...
