I have a couple checklists that I created for drone operators: One for the USA (based on Part 107 rules) and one for Canada (based on RPAS - Advanced rules). They're probably more detailed than what you're looking for (the U.S. one is 5 pages) but that's because one page is mostly for pre-flight...

Yorkshire_Pud has it right. Turn on the controller first because you don't want someone else's controller accidentally connecting to your drone. It shouldn't happen but I've heard of instances where it has. Plus this is the order DJI recommends. And regarding checklists, it's highly recommended...

I have a checklist I've been using for years in the US and when I moved to Canada I updated it to correspond with the specifics for flying north of the border. But I guess calling it a checklist doesn't do it justice since it also has emergency procedures, troubleshooting tips and links to many...

I'm in the same boat. I need to re-up my license and have already used the 6 month extension. It looks like the new rules you mentioned won't take effect until March at the earliest. I don't know if testing centers are even open, as I'm in Southern California where COVID is running rampant.

A problem my clients have is they request 4K footage but then their computers (video cards, RAM, etc) can't handle it. If your image is grainy, check your ISO. These drones don't work well in low light so if you were shooting at night and had your settings in Auto, that could be part of the...

Good News Everyone! I recalibrated my cameras (via DJI Assistant 2) and the IMU (via the app) and everything is back to normal. The drone is landing as it should. But, if you do want to decipher how and why I was having a problem the other night, attached are the flight logs from a couple...

@Logger, I had a similar problem (left stick down and the drone only hovers above the ground, refusing to land). I had Landing Protection and Precision Landing turned off (but "Enable Downward Vision Positioning" was still on) but it didn't matter. I hope to do more tests today to figure out...

I've had a similar problem with my brand new Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. The first time it it refused to land, it was a sunny day and I was trying to land on a flat sidewalk. Last night, it was a little darker and the street and a slight decline but still, when I would press down on the throttle, it...

And nevermind my previous post. I pressed, "Clear Locally Cached Records" and rebooted everything. Name changed! But logs are gone...

Hey Simk1n, can you help me out? I'm also trying to change my drone's name in my flight log. I know how to change the drone's name in the app but it isn't reflected in the flight log. FYI, I have multiple drones. Thanks!

Thank you for starting this thread. I have the same problem with my Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 (using DJI GO4). Every time I turn on my drone/remote/app I have to tell it to switch from single photos to AEB 3. This was never a problem with my Phantom 3 (using DJI GO). I'm using an Android device and all...
