    Dji purchases AFTER Christmas

    I would get one that is already in the US even if it is more expensive. I just got a Mavic 4 Pro last week shipped from Japan. It was delayed in customs for nearly a week and I was billed $582 to release it.

    Tariff charging is getting worse

    Just got my Mavic 4 Pro Creator’s Combo from Japan, shipped UPS, held up in customs for 5 days and was charged $580 in import taxes / fees.

    Changing controllers

    Hi! Just got a RC 2 Pro and want to use it with my Air 3s and Mini 5 Pro. Both drones are already linked to RC 2 controllers. Anybody know the unlinking / linking process? Thanks! I tried the Mini and it wouldn't go into link mode even with its RC 2 off. But the Air 3s linked just fine. Confusing!

    RTH at night

    Thanks. I misunderstood your first reply to mean I should have been flying at 400 feet. I always stay well below that height and was very concerned when the drone exceeded it doing the RTH. I cancelled the RTH immediately and descended. My RTH is set at 200 feet.

    RTH at night

    I was at about the RTH preset height. I think Good Santa's idea is right on. Next time I'll turn obstacle avoidance off until I'm close to landing.

    RTH at night

    Yes I'm aware of max altitude. The drone did it itself while trying to RTH. I stay below the 400 foot limit. If I never flew closer to the airport than 5 miles I would need to drive at least 4 miles every time I flew. I fly very cautiously at low altitude and DJI Fly reminds me I am in a...

    No my RTH height was about 200 feet.

    RTH at night

    Just curious why 400 feet. My area is flat, nothing above 60 foot telephone poles. I'm about a mille from an airport and helicopters fly over a lot. They are supposed to stay above 500 feet but I think they sometimes dip below that, so I usually try to stay below about 300 to be safe. It is also...

    RTH at night

    My first night flight with my Air 3s went fine except for RTH. I was about 1/4 mile from home at about 200 feet altitude and hit RTH. The drone seemed to be struggling to decide what to do, would fly toward home a short distance then increase altitude multiple times until it was approaching 500...

    Hi from Kauai

    Hi All, I'm an old guy. I have an old Phantom 4 and recently got an Avatar 2 and an Air 3s. Lots of wind here on Kauai but the Air flies like a champ. I have a few questions I'll be posting. Glad to be here.
