No requirement for ADSB out when operating in a Class G airspace. Source: ADS-B: Are you exempt? | CTS Blog You can also verify later if there were any ADS-B transmissions at or near an airport by visiting FlightAware ( FlightAware - Flight Tracker / Flight Status ) and enter the the...

Just use the FlySafe website to pre-unlock an area, download to the Fly app and then upload to the aircraft. You can then just take off, once at the site, without having to do any further authorizations other than possibly for LAANC. https://www.dji.com/flysafe Your unlock requests will show...

Is this a QANON post? Sure seems to be a lot of speculation, misinterpretation, and misinformation being spread about.

There is already a long standing article that is constantly being updated which lists android based devices that are or are NOT compatible with the Fly app. https://cultofdrone.com/dji-fly-compatible-device/

I'll say it's a scam or should I say it's a personal data scrapper app. Just look at all of the permissions you have to grant to it to run the app: This app has access to: Device ID & call information read phone status and identity Storage modify or delete the contents of your USB storage...

Juan Bianco (airline pilot) did a report on this subject a month ago before the media started to report on this. The description also contains links to techmical papers that have been warning for some time about the danger of having 5G towers near the approach path of planes.

Getting back to the question of iPad Mini 4 and Mavic Air... If you're using the GO 4 app with the original Mavic Air, then you should be OK. On the other hand, if you meant to say the Mavic Air 2, then this uses the Fly app and there are known issues with it namely it being under powered for...

If you have other photo equipment along with the MA2 you may want to look into investing in a dehumidifier cabinet to store these in. High humidity and salty air will eat through just about anything. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1282131-REG/ruggard_edc_30l_electronic_dry_cabinet_30l.html

The minus landing altitude has been around for some time (I believe since the Fly app was released for the Mini 1). The speed limiting issue maybe the same as what Ray at DC Rainmaker demonstrated in this video at 4:55. Hopefully some of the issues will be corrected in the January update.

According to the Mavic 3 spec sheet these are the differences: Mavic 3: 895 g vs Mavic 3 Cine: 899 g Mavic 3: 8 GB (available space is approx. 7.2 GB) vs Mavic 3 Cine: 1TB (available space is approx. 934.8 GB) Mavic 3: MP4/MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265) vs Mavic 3 Cine: MP4/MOV (MPEG-4...

I would also add the ground coverage has a big factor on the ND used as well. An arid landscape with with white, brownish, orange, or reddish exposed soil will reflect much more light than say a dark green forested landscape.

You must be looking at the wrong files then. Here's the codec data from DJI_0023.MOV in the DLog folder. It is showing Apple ProRes 422 HQ with a video resolution of 5120x2700 (5.1K). DroneXL is using Apple ProRes 422 HQ with a a video resolution of 3840x2160 which is 4K (UHD).

Ray at DCRainMaker posted a video discussing missing and half baked features on the initial Mavic 3 release. It also includes a link to a spreadsheet of 42 items that will or will never be implemented as well. Some of the notable items missing is ActiveTrack, MasterShots, Spotlight, and POI...

Billy Kyle posted several samples from the M3 Cine model to his DropBox account. DLog folder has ProRes 4:2:2. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5ex9f70ncmhv7ey/AACz35zbDkL4AEzVd-PJyob9a?dl=0 And DroneXL posted some samples as well - Download DJI Mavic 3 sample photos and video footage here
