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...

"After the 23rd Care refresh is pretty much void here in the U.S." So, nothing changes on December 23.

What happens on December 23 to void Care Refresh service in the US? Do you have a DJI statement on that? Yes, there are delays, but how is Care Refresh tied to the restriction on DJI being allowed to get new drone models approved by the FCC?

Have you tinkered with the sharpening and noise reduction settings to improve the jpg files? With the default settings, the jpgs look a bit over-processed to me. Dialing them both back a bit seems to help.

The DJI drones they're using today will not suddenly quit working or fail on December 23 and no company will be forced to shut down within weeks or months. There will be an active market for new and used replacement drones, as there is today. Yes, it's certain that a long-term problem will be...

Alarmist sensationalism. Why would a company shut down only because DJI is not allowed to have new models of drones approved by the FCC in the future? The DJI drones they're currently operating will continue to function and they can be used legally.
