Hehehe... "Sell the M3 buy a Mini 3 Pro" is exactly why I'm surprised they release it! How many now won't be buying a more expensive M3 or M3e and just opting for a more affordable option such as Mini 3 and using third-party software solutions?

Yep. It’s the fact that I’m seeing so many people saying “I’m waiting for the SDK for the M3, Mini3, etc…” It’s not happening folks! At least that’s my prediction. Enterprise, yes it will happen but even than it’s going to be a much more controlled and if not costly access.

Agreed. For the average consumer, wanting to fly for pleasure, the technical innovations (other than obstacles avoidance), isn’t worth the additional for a DJI level drone, hence WalMart selling an off brand. Further reason for DJI not to offer an SDK for non-enterprise drones and for that...

There are but they are all considerably smaller than DJI. Ie. Walmart sells an off brand and Amazon has tons on smaller unknown (compared to DJI) brands that are half or more less expensive than DJI.

Exactly! No more SDK for Mavic 3, Air 3, etc but only M3E and above. Either spend big bucks and get SDK or go consumer and no SDK. That’s my prediction.

I honestly believe they are in a position with such market lead they are going to have to sacrifice either on the consumer or the enterprise. I think, they will sacrifice consumer end and focus on enterprise. Partly because the margins on enterprise drones are significant compared to the...

Haha, thanks and updated. Again, and I agree that the SDK doesn’t do everything or exactly what a high end DJI does but if I can do the job, with a M2, Air or Mini, why spent the extra money and why would DJI benefit from it?

Why would somebody buy a $10,000 drone, if they can get the prosumer $3000 drone and do mostly what the $20,000 drone can do via SDK? Case in point, I’m doing PPK with a $5,000 setup. We are talking drone, base, rover, etc. Justify why I would buy a M30T or something else if I can do PPK with...

This is my prediction, only and not backed by any facts. DJI won’t be offering a SDK to M3 or for that matter any consumer drones in the future. Why? Because after they are seeing how companies are actually using the SDK against DJI, there is no incentive for them to release one! Fact, I can...

The way I look at it, is that it depends on your goal. Search and Rescue, ten with two four bay charges, to allow a rotation of constant flying while charging. Hobby flying three this allows for an hour of performance flying. Inspection five to six mostly for just backup and it assumes you’re...

I see the problem… they don’t want you to catch the 5 man standing around making $50-80/hr while one man in the excavator is actually doing all of the work! ;-) just kidding. I hear you and I’m sure the FAA is discussing all matters of drone flight, I found this article which is true and I...

It seems we both like sarcasm, tip of the hat to you. I acknowledged, especially after the wiki post, (you did read that comment right?) that some railroad guards can be deputized, 90% are not and yes I will assert my legal right, not the push over cry baby type but the know my rights kind of...

Other than being a smart butt, what is your contribution to the conversation? So you’re saying hired security can arrest people? Where is your source of information because mine is from working experience. However, I’ll still respect your input and advise, I’m not being confrontational but my...

I see what you’re saying, it’s the circumstances that the security guard has been “A railroad police officer who is certified or commissioned as a police officer under the laws of any one state shall, in accordance with the regulations issued by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, be...

A “hired” security has no legal authority to “arrest” people, they can detain if they pose a threat to others but cannot if said citizen was walking across the tracks (trespassing) without illegal intent. Ie. I’m walking across with a fishing pole to fish the stream on the other side. Now this...
