    Mini 2 firmware 01.03 released

    I thought the batteries were suppose to self discharge if at 100% until like 72% or something. Part of the lipo not getting damaged. So not sure what the update is suppose to do

    Do all DJI broadcast their position, speed and direction locally?

    Thank you, this makes a lot of sense. Yes, I know the broadcast option in the app and it's turned off. But like Vic Moss mentioned, it must be the broadcast that communicates with the drone, and something like aeroscope that detect it and get all the info it gets sent to the remote control...

    Do all DJI broadcast their position, speed and direction locally?

    Well police told me they identified my drone flying as soon as I took off. So either the drone is broadcasting making it easy to be detected or such equipment that you posted is made to detect most drones. The product page says "most popular drones", not all, so that means most drones are...

    Mini 2 firmware 01.03 released

    What's so special about the battery update? I'm generally weary about any software updates, be it phone or laptops or windows or whatever. Many times updates break things and often I prefer to not update.

    How to snap pictures while recording?

    I would've been very happy if I could at least capture JPG pictures on the DJI drone while recording simultaneously. Yet, DJI doesn't even offer that option...

    Do all DJI broadcast their position, speed and direction locally?

    I was reading into the Voluntary Flight Identification Option. However, by reading this article: DJI Introduces Voluntary Flight Identification Options For Drone Pilots, it seems DJI drones ALWAYS broadcast their location, speed, heading and serial number? The option in question merely provides...

    DJI Batteries and Cold Weather . . .

    Any way to have the voltage continously displayed in the DJI Fly App (Mini 2) Or the only option for that is to go to about and check the battery voltage/temp there?

    Mini 2 battery question

    It's annoying that DJI's battery charger only charges sequentially. What's worse, it will always top off the highest charged battery before moving to the next. Meaning It's waisting a lot of time charging the last 20% of a battery to reach 100% while the other 2 discharged batteries stay...

    Mini 2 RTH sideways

    Is this normal behavior? Quite often if I RTH, I can see the drone returning sideways. Meaning it won't fully rotate facing me, then start coming home, it will rotate 90º, stop, then start flying back home, basically flying sideways (flight left, or right, depending). I don't see anything...

    How to snap pictures while recording?

    Is it really not possible to take pictures while recording? Phones can do it. Why can't DJI and Mini 2?

    DJI Batteries and Cold Weather . . .

    What is the best charge to keep batteries at? I generally keep my batteries discharged (after a flight) and only charge them when I'm almost sure I will be flying current day or next day. That means my batteries are somewhere between 15-30%, depending when I land my drone. Is that ok?

    Mavic mini fly away

    What do you fly? I fly mini 2 so I use the go fly app, but I don't know if I can trust the speed it shows, even if it is ground speed as some claim. It always shows 10m/s for me in normal mode even in high wind, which makes me think it's air speed (and thus, useless)

    How do you monitor the resistance to speed if there are no indications?
