Look four years further back.

Not all we Americans value speaking out about our government in ways that are ineffective and unproductive. You don't "redress our grievances" by actions with no effect or outcome. You don't have to be an American citizen to understand that very few people would even notice even tens of...

Why the head scratching? Both models already have FCC approval and are not affected by the new regulations.

Benthic just refers to the marine life on the bottom as opposed to at the surface or in the water column. It's not a pretentious or snooty term. It's definitely not a "howler." My friend Richard, who passed away last year, was a marine biologist who specialized in benthic invertebrates. Most all...

Certainly startling, like walking up a covey of quail unexpectedly. As everyone's mother might say, "They could have poked your eye out." Other than that, the impact damage from a 100-gram feather-covered object shouldn't be bad.

That's not been working out well on this issue or many others since last January.

You can capture anything that appears on your computer screen - screenshots and video. The built-in Windows utility, Snip & Sketch, is good for simple screen shots. There are several downloadable utilities for capturing screen video. Free Screen Recorder For PC – No Time Limit, No Watermark is...

Using both the Canada and UK DJI sites, I've just downloaded the manual from links labeled "2025-12-10." It does not have the sentence about RID not being activated with the standard battery. However, the title page still shows "V1.0 2025-09.)

Again, from the article you referenced. "Sun glint presents a significant challenge in marine ecological remote sensing by obscuring valuable features of benthic communities, thus hindering accurate monitoring of these communities. " Benthic refers to things on or attached to the bottom of a...

That article deals the effects on imagery when sunlight reflects (not reflexes) off the surface of the water. The concern is loss of image information below the surface.. "Sun glint presents a significant challenge in marine ecological remote sensing by obscuring valuable features of benthic...

So any group with actual facts that don't match your viewpoint is wrong, untrustworthy, and likely of a different political persuasion, and should be simply ignored? (To be honest, I did react that way to the claims of cats and dogs being eaten in Ohio and that Mexican check in the mail.)

I tend to agree with @FLDave that the problem was with precision landing rather than RTH. But having it occur at 50' AGL is odd. Isn't that beyond the typical range of the VPS system? I've never read about nor heard that error message mentioned by anyone else. Just for fun, I've tinkered with...

You might want to run through the Pilot Institute's free online "Deep Dive" course on the Air 3S. It's a very good way to get familiar with the drone and learn the features. https://pilotinstitute.com/course/dji-air-3s-deep-dive/

I have the current software and firmware as listed. No problems observed with the RC 2 controller.

The December 23 date is related to licensing of new DJI models. It has nothing to do with imports of Care Refresh. It's not retroactive; it's about new DJI models. And given that no audit has been initiated, the limitation on licensing new DJI models is essentially certain to become effective...
