Well, I believe that's the first bit of tangible information on the effects of the Trump tariffs on DJI drones sent to the US. Thanks for passing that along. Do you mind sharing the basic purchase price, with sales taxes, of the Mini 4 package you chose?

Buy the Mini 4 now and begin enjoying flying it now. It's a wonderful drone and it will have a high resale value if you decide to upgrade later.

I'm not convinced that using batter power to climb is better than using that battery power to fly toward the landing point. Drones don't glide. Better flight planning and battery changes.

There's politics and there's current events. It is a non-political fact that Donald Trump is responsible for enacting very high tariffs on imports of Chinese products, including DJI drones, to the US. And it's a fact that he has changed those tariffs frequently and that there is a lack of...

Should we understand that you never fly as a pilot or passenger, either commercial or general aviation?

DJI's announcement says 12:00 pm GMT on May 13. That's 8:00 am EDT on May 13.

There's a speed adjustment in the settings on Youtube videos. I've used it most often to speed things up when the presenter is slow, but it's also useful for slowing down someone like this fellow.

From the White House announcement of a compromise on tariffs: "Unlike previous administrations, President Trump took a tough, uncompromising stance on China to protect American interests and stop unfair trade practices." Here are the details in more easily understood form from a more...

Which controller are you using? Are you able to ioen the the Fly app on the controller? Do you see the Neo listed among the drones to connect? What happens when you try to connect?

Despite the claims of the fellow who is responsible for the 145% tariff on Chinese imports, domestic US manufacturers will not, and cannot, sprout up and quickly offer alternatives to imported drones, appliances, electronics, and most other significant products we now import. There are myriad...

The current setup is fine for flying over water, where you don't want a "land" option. It's situations with overhead obstacles that pose a problem.

This is interesting. Despite having read the RTH information in several manuals several times over the past few years, I hadn't fully appreciated that the drone's Low Battery RTH action on low battery supersedes the hover action in the Fly App's Failsafe RTH setting. Wow. When flying beneath...

Is this described in any DJI literature? Applicable to all consumer-grade DJI drones?

Every good pun deserves a good groan. This earns several.

It continues to hover until the critical battery threshold is reached, and then it lands.
