    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    On eBay, it makes sense. Not sure it makes sense on Amazon, not really accurate.

    Can you register your Mini 5 Pro with FAA?

    They do (maybe). And...they transmit RID. Two good reasons.

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    For an item that is both sold and shipped by a 3rd party seller, how is the Amazon listing able to post something like "Only 8 left in stock, order soon." I gotta say, that's pretty clever of Amazon to post a few drones at the super low price, get all the attention, and then switch it up within...

    I hit a power line with my Air 3S!

    Wow, you have power lines which are 100 meters high? That's high; really high. Yeah, I wouldn't want to fly anywhere near them. In my area, if I'm 100 meters up, there's absolutely nothing up there but the birds. I could literally close my eyes....metaphorically.

    Mini 5 Pro is Broadcasting RID with ALL Batteries, Including the Mini 5 Pro Standard Battery

    Earlier today I was flying among other drones and I wondered if anyone could see me. We were in class G so there is no LAANC. How does RID help other pilots become aware of my presence unless they visually see me or they have one of those fancy RID detectors?

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    Funny how all the M5P product pages all list the drone as weighing 249g.

    Mini 5 Pro is Broadcasting RID with ALL Batteries, Including the Mini 5 Pro Standard Battery

    Which battery are you using? Someone else might have a different idea but I find it hard to believe the M4P drone is smart enough to determine it's own weight at lift off to decide whether it is going to transmit RID or not. Instead I believe when the standard battery is used, RID is OFF and...

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    ...and just like that, the prices have all changed. I guess they had a handful of drones to sell at a good price to lure the entire internet into this surge pricing scheme. If you no longer have it at that price, how about an "out of stock" notice instead of recycling those links? Check the...

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    This is what I don't like about Amazon. The same link has details that are changing by the hour, sometimes by the minute. The actual seller is changing repeatedly and even the "shipped by" can change on you....after the sale. Meaning the dates, too. There's no way to know for sure if a...

    Question regarding a binded Mini 4 pro

    Pick a state. Tennessee. Not all states have such laws; likely many do or soon will. Here's what Google tells us without the reference but I'm sure there are statutes for these somewhere: In Tennessee, a pawn shop cannot legally sell a password-secured electronic device that is still...

    Touché!

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    Good because they have an in-house warranty which is better than any of us are getting at the moment. I still maintain that most people (not all) have no idea who they are actually buying from and they probably don't care since it is being fulfilled (and likely protected) by Amazon. But still...
