    Ongoing Off Grid Flying Problem.

    No cell service there. Will check out the other thing. Thx Edit: Oh, it's a drone. Naw. I'm a one dog, one kid, one drone kinda guy. Unless of course the lottery comes in. Then it's a drone for every day of the week.

    Ongoing Off Grid Flying Problem.

    That's what they just told me. And I have a lot of down time living too close to a small airport, the weather, the winter in the mountains and the like.

    Ongoing Off Grid Flying Problem.

    Little bit peeved but problem solved, I guess. Talking to support and am told you are automatically logged out after a month. And you have to be logged in to make things work. I don't know who all is aware of that but I wasn't. And no one on here is telling me that. So, to be safe, before going...

    Ongoing Off Grid Flying Problem.

    I guess I can make a point of making sure I am up to date and in the account before I leave but I really hope I nail down the issue before I am again 3 hours from home and off the grid. Oh and firing it up this morning I did notice something I never see or pay attention to. The time on the RC...

    Ongoing Off Grid Flying Problem.

    I, again, have been struck with an off grid flying problem. I frequently travel to upper Kootenay Lake here in Beautiful British Columbia where I camp and fish and fly. (And fly fish!) But more often than not upon start up I am told that i need to log in and am restricted to 60m height and...

    Fly Away

    What exactly does fly away mean? Is that the same as being lost? If my M3C takes a hike over the mountain and doesn't home, is that a fly away? And will it be relaced by Refresh?

    DJI care is no longer worth it.

    Ditto for me.

    Ya, Just had a chat with DJI Guy. Found all that out. Falling back to my next Lottery win.

    New Mav3 and RC Question.

    OK. Now I may be just kickin myself. My Air2 with flymore kit is for sale but I still have it. The controller is just called the Smart controller. It is twice the weight and has external antennae. It also has the five way button. Is this, in effect, a Pro? If so I'll switch it out. But how do I...

    New Mav3 and RC Question.

    With the cruise control added, I did what was suggested on several Youtube vid. Remapped the C1 button to cruise on/off. That's great but it seems a shame that there are not more options available for these buttons. Reminds me of back in the day when my joysticks didn't have enough buttons. At...

    Mavic 3 RC-N1 vs RC controllers

    Since my first Mavic Pro my big fight was with cell phones or tablets and sun glare. The RC has eliminated that. I believe I read the brightness factor was 1000 times brighter. But that's probably not right. Sounds a little too good to be true. I do know gone are the days of having to see what's...

    What to do when selling Air 2.

    OK. Thankyou for that. An with the second hand buyer I am assuming he would have to go thru the steps of binding it to him.

    What to do when selling Air 2.

    Bit the bullet and bought the Mav3 Classic. Just wondering if there is a procedure to disassociating yourself from your old drone after selling. In my case, my Air2 which is, of course, registered with DJI. Do I go on there and ask for my personals to be deleted, or what?

    Watched a vid on a guy testing the Mav 3 in extreme wind at a Brit seashore, I think. Amazing how well it did.
