    AUTHORIZATION ZONE. EXIT IMMEDIATELY.

    Hello from Brazil. I live close to a naval air base and am aware of all the borders and fencing. I need to unlock every time I want to fly, not a big deal. Yesterday I was filming two friends who were sailing and I got the AUTHORIZATION ZONE. EXIT IMMEDIATELY message. First time ever, so it...

    MM - What has changed with EV and other settings?

    Update on this: I uninstalled DJI Fly from my iPhone and reinstalled it. Now all seems to work and the sliding bars are operational. Back to happy flying !!!

    Neighbors unhappy with Drone overhead

    Hi from Brazil, I find it funny that people get nervous or irritated by a drone flying by. There are so many other things that are much worse and these people don't even blink an eye... like, being filmed literally everywhere you go (gas stations, banks, supermarkets, etc...), your ip address...

    Hello from Denmark

    Hej Rasmus, I'm a Dane lost in Brazil... I fly a Mavic Mini and really enjoy the little bird. Where in DK are you. As a kid, used to spend summers in Tisvildeleje. Latest ventures in DK have been in Odense.

    MM - What has changed with EV and other settings?

    Thanks for the reply... but, no luck. I get a slider bar across the top of my screen, but it does not move. I did the lock/unlock feature, i tried in video and photo mode, but no luck... Not a happy flyer here in Brazil right now. Thanks anyway... the search continues

    MM - What has changed with EV and other settings?

    Hi All, Can anyone shine a light here? I have been flying my MM for about 1 year now and enjoyed playing with EV settings to create the images I wanted. However, just recently, I can no longer adjust EV settings. It used to work by tapping on EV and a sliding scale would pop up, but now, I tap...

    Military aircraft got ADB-S or not?

    Thanks - FlightRadar24 doesn't show these buzzards. My indications are hearing them take-off at some point during the day, then I know they will appear sooner or later when returning. On those days, I stay under the tree line. I tune into the tower frequency and listen for any communication...

    Military aircraft got ADB-S or not?

    Hey, I have the same problem here (Brazil). I live very close to a Naval Air Base and choppers fly around constantly, but they are slow and can be seen/heard with enough lead time to move the bird out of their way... But, some of the fighter jets come in so low and so fast, that I only see...

    The question is: Update software/firmware or not?

    Cheers fellow pilots. Raining cats and dogs here in Brazil. Probably the rainiest November in ages. Not much flying !! I have read about many people running into problems after updating their software/firmware. That makes me think... So far, I have not updated anything on my MM since I...

    National Part Flying - Biased Regulations?

    Cheers fellow pilots, Today I watched a documentary on Banff National Park in Canada. I was surprised to see that there is a tour operator with a FLEET of helicopters to fly around and ferry tourists around the whole park. But, try flying a drone there and you'll be slapped with a 25k fine -...

    Kite lines

    Hello from Brazil, Today I ran into a situation which I had not taken into consideration while flying. I was walking out to a spot where I like to take off, as it is wide open, clear and high above everything. While scanning the sky to see cloud movement and where the vultures were gathering...

    Zero Altitude Limit

    Good day all. I live close to a Naval Air Base and am within Authorization Zone and very close to the RED zone. Yesterday I had a real hard time getting the AC to take off (usually the authorization ran smoothly). But, finally got it up in the air and then saw a new message on the screen...
