    DJI RC Pro

    Try touching and holding on the wifi icon/button to open the wifi settings. Then use the toggle to switch wifi on. What happens?

    Any success getting a mini 5 pro into the US and how?

    There has always been only a single English language versions of the user manual for each DJI model. There have been no USA English versions and separate Non-USA English versions. There's no reason to expect anything different for the Mini 5 Pro or Mavic 4 Pro. Here's the sole English version...

    New Firmware

    Is anyone aware of a method to revert to an earlier version of the Fly App on the RC 2 controller? It appears that the loss of the camera zoom function happened when I upgraded from 1.18.1 to 1.18.2. It was not resolved in 1.18.3.

    The $800 duty-free exemption for purchases by returning travelers is different from the de minimis import tariff exemption. The traveler's duty-free exemption is still in place. https://www.help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-1402?language=en_US

    Propeller Damage

    Check for damage at the hubs of the props, too, not just the tips and edges.

    Air 3 Alaska From Southeast through the Aleutians on a crab boat

    Ok, after watching this on a 50" screen, I'll retract 99% of what I said about the editing being a bit shaggy. I'm really impressed with this video. Amazing. There's some very nice drone flying.

    Air 3 Alaska From Southeast through the Aleutians on a crab boat

    Good Gawd a'mighty. You have some absolutely stunning footage there. Let's choose some adjectives - dazzling, magnificent, amazing, beautiful, majestic, ... I'm awestruck and envious of being there and experiencing all that. Your editing is good, but shaggy in a few places. It certainly needs...

    Removing Knobs on remote control and fly with your thumb

    A couple of years ago, I flew the Air2S with 1/4" long screws attached to the sticks. For slow speed flights shooting video, it seemed a bit easier to make smooth control movements. For more dynamic flying, it wasn't as handy. It's a matter of personal preference, so fly it stick-less if you...

    Pro First Night Flight over Montreal with the DJI Mini 5 Pro - Impressive Low-Light Performance!

    Very nicely done. Great editing. And the music is well chosen and appropriate. It's good to hear music in a drone video that doesn't sound like the tense and dramatic soundtrack for the onset of World War III.

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    I found that my Mini 5 Pro broadcasts RID when used with a Mini 4 Pro standard battery, (with the 249 gram marking). Details in post #27 here: Mini5 plus battery in Mini4???

    Mini5 plus battery in Mini4???

    Here's some information to add to the hopper. I have only plus batteries for the Mini 5 Pro, no standard batteries, so I couldn't directly check the results @GadgetGuy found. But, I tried a Mini 4 Pro standard battery (with 249 gram marking) in the Mini 5 Pro. The drone broadcast RID, as shown...

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    The drone determines the battery type electronically by reading information from the battery, not by weight.

    DJI Mavic 4 Pro vs. DJI Mini 5 Pro

    It was a slippery way to enact a ban without anyone bearing responsibility for the ban. DJI was not to be responsible for an audit nor are they able to do an audit or cause an audit to be done. The legislation called for the US government to do the audit, but specified no responsibility for...

    Just curious, but why are people so anti Remote I. D.

    I hadn't realized that you are a member of Congress. Senate or House?

    Is this a good deal?

    But if most of your interest in photos and videos is for social media, web pages, and sharing on smart phones, the Mini 2 SE will be more than adequate for producing great results.
