    Can't change default altitude, distance limits

    Can't change default altitude, distance limits

    Thank You! You're absolutely right. Once I removed the prop guards the Mini was happy to fly beyond those default limits. If the Manual talks about this I missed it. However, when I flew w/o the guards I lost visual conttact with the drone. It suddenly annouced that it must land and I spent...

    Can't change default altitude, distance limits

    Thanks for your reply. Yes! I do have the prop guards on. As my name suggests I'm new to drones and having lost two $100 drones I'm extra-careful. And I've occasionally seen a payload warning. I haven't checked for the payload mode but wll as soon as the weather pernits, and report...

    Can't change default altitude, distance limits

    Hello folks! I recently discovered that my Mini won't fly above 30 m or beyond 50 m.

    I keep seeing recommendations for people going to DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help to view the flight logs -- but I must be missing something. My DJI Fly doesn't produce .TXT, only .LOG files. DJI Assistant 2 supposedly makes these viewable but all it really does is download them as .DAT...

    Mavic Mini owner (almost) from Indiana

    Hello all! Ordered a Mavic Mini early this AM after looking it over online. Looks wonderful. I lost 2 pretty nice -- but much cheaper -- drones in tall weeds near my house, where they seemed to have moved on to Drone Heaven. But among other things I'll use the Mini to look for them. Hope...
