    Mini 2 Fishermen - Uthandi, India

    Thanks for comments. @MS Coast: I Only know the Tamil name for the catch, so "Anchovies" will have to do.. Due to very low upload speed, unfortunately I cannot upload the 4 times bigger 4K version.

    Mini 2 Fishermen - Uthandi, India

    Got over my anxiety of flying over water. - Original footage in 4K/30fps and looking gorgeous, here reduced to 720p for reasons of size. Still looks decent, I think. Post processing on an old iPad in LumaFusion, no LUTs or color corrections. Comments invited, thanks...

    End of the road for Minis in India

    Thanks for your sympathy, and, yes, I am trying to get some DJI eyeballs to look at this absurd situation. But i restrain myself from posting in non-country specific forums, because for most people, this predicament, we DJI Mini pilots in India face, is irrelevant, and will be perceived as spam...

    End of the road for Minis in India

    The rules, I have linked to, are the full rule set regarding drone usage in India from 25 August 2021, and fully supersedes earlier rules. They are published by the Central Government and the rules themselves state that earlier rules are no longer valid (read English preamble, p. 24 + 25)...

    End of the road for Minis in India

    After the new rules went into effect on 25 August 2021 and the previous rules were discarded, there is not any 15 meter max altitude limit for Nano drones. The new rules can be found here: https://egazette.nic.in/WriteReadData/2021/229221.pdf (In Hindi from page 1, followed by in English from...

    End of the road for Minis in India

    Trying to kick life into this old thread, because it needs it! During 1.st half of 2021 it became clear to Indian authorities that the Nov. 2020 Drone rules were much too bureaucratic, paranoid and downright destructive for prof. as well as hobby uses of drones. In June, a much better and...

    Flying your drone 1 to 2 miles away during the day ! : The Trick

    It seems relevant to remind posters that this is not a US forum. This is an international forum, and those who post, based on a specific national context, should mention this, or start separate threads where the country in question is mentioned in the thread title.

    Can you supply a source / reference for this new piece of information?

    Mavic Mini Fly RTH set, triggered by loss of signal, but lands quickly instead

    slup, from your attached diagram, I am puzzled by the red "hspeed" graph. Between T=528 and 534 (6 sec.s) the hSpeed changes 40 times, oscillating between 0 and approx. 1 - 2 m/sec (20 peaks). Can this be as per design? - @new2mavic (post 20) suspects a faulty motor or rear propeller, and this...

    Mavic Mini Fly RTH set, triggered by loss of signal, but lands quickly instead

    Thanks a lot for thoughts and analyses - I need to digest it in the coming day(s) and see how various hypotheses can be substantiated / falsified, possibly through som targeted further test flights. Will revert then.

    Mavic Mini Fly RTH set, triggered by loss of signal, but lands quickly instead

    After playing around with the RC logs and CSVView, I get the following hypothesis for why the MM aborts RTH and lands where it is instead: RTH height is set to 35 meters, to which height the MM ascends. The wind velocity in this height is 5.5 to 6 m/sec, head on. The MM on RTH can move at 8...

    Mavic Mini Fly RTH set, triggered by loss of signal, but lands quickly instead

    @slup & @sar104 (via other thread): Thanks for your continuing contributions. At present, I feel that I do not have a satisfactory answer to my question (Post 1), so your and other's comments still very welcome. I found the relevant .DAT file from my mobile unit, and I enclose a link to it...

    Mavic Mini Fly RTH set, triggered by loss of signal, but lands quickly instead

    @Meta4: On the screen print route map, I have marked the landing site with a red star. It was close to point of lost signal, - the drone incl video footage was found unharmed and the footage shows that after hovering at 30 meters for some 15 - 30 sec.s, it rises to 35 meter, starts RTH, but...

    DJI Assistant under MAC OS, retrieving log files from Mavic Mini - success, anyone?

    @sar104, - thanks for your comment and, yes, having read your guide I am aware that they are encrypted. One reason for still wanting to access them is because of a recent fly-away incident (reported elsewhere in these forums), that I am considering involving DJI in.

    DJI Assistant under MAC OS, retrieving log files from Mavic Mini - success, anyone?

    I have installed DJI Assistant 2, v2.0.10 to a MacBook (MAC OS Mojave, 10.14.6). Following instructions, my connected Mavic Mini is recognised, and its firmware version correctly identified (01.00.0400). But when attempting to download flight log files, Assistant 2 stops, waiting for data...
