    Fastest/easiest video transfer from Mini3Pro?

    downloading photos

    I just turn on the drone without turning on the controller. Then I connect the drone to my computer via a USB-C cable. This creates two folders on my computer, one for the internal storage for the drone and the other for the SD card storage. In the SD card folder is a subfolder that contains all...

    Will the Mini 3 Home Point W/DJI RC set with GPS only, No Wifi?

    I had one of the early Garmin portable GPS receivers that I used for hiking. It had no maps. After getting a lock on the satellites, it would trace your route by leaving "breadcrumbs" on the screen. When you wanted to return to your starting point, you'd just follow the breadcrumbs. You were...
