Thanks for the roofing info, much appreciated. I presume this is your first drone? If so, use the back yard to understand the controls of the remote sticks. There are a few modes you can assign to the remote via the app. See what you are comfortable with. Just make sure you are not in Sport Mode...

Hey Mosteck. Welcome to the forum and congrats on your purchase. Did you get the Fly More Combo or the basic kit? Just make sure you have a compatible device (phone or tablet + an adapter) to work with you Mini and the new DJI Fly app. If you are an andorid guy, like I am, you need something...

If only Amazon made their new Fire 10 HD with 4GB Ram...

Sorry, I don't have access to any Galaxy Notes but can confirm Galaxy S8+ and Huawei P30 Pro (officially listed by DJI) work well. They are fairly large screens but too small for my aging eyes. :)

Costco Canada had a great price on the iPad (CAD $379 + tax), now its CAD $413 + tax. They have a special on the S5E for CAD $ 450 + tax.

Went to a local Best Buy (Toronto area) and tried to install the DJI Fly app on a few tablets. Also tested on a few tablet I own. Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) - Will not install. Samsung Galaxy Tab S5E - Will install. (not flight tested...yet) * Samsung Galaxy S6 - Will install. (not flight...

Fire 10 HD does not work with DJI Fly app. Tested, confirmed, incompatible. Even tried to get around the parsing error when trying to install the app, but gave up. Lifes too short!

"Drone spotted near airport" sells news on major networks/newspapers. "Drone turns out be a balloon/plastic bag/bird/etc." does not sell news and is less likely to get publicity on major networks/newspapers.

Welcome to the forum. I am fairly new to the forum myself but have found it very helpful. Good place to get answers, share experiences and simply talk about drones. Hope you find it as useful as I have. Cheers, eh! -Philip

If it turns out not to be a drone (as it has happened in the past), they should post a retraction or issue a public mea culpa to all drone pilots and vindicate our good name. Too often (almost always) only the negative, unconfirmed news makes its rounds and paints us as a menace to society...

Learned something new today. Thanks! -Philip.

Much appreciated, sir! -Philip.

Good to hear. Was on the fence about the Tab A 8 vs. the Tab A 10.1. Went for the 10.1 due to the bigger screen and better screen resolution. Might have to revisit the decision. Are you able to share any details about the tablet? i.e. Full model number , Build number, Kernel version or any...

From my research on the subject, the Fly app seems to work on android devices with 4 GB Ram and needs a 64 bit android OS. I tried to install it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019 edition, model T510) which has the requisite 64 bit OS but has only 2 GB Ram. No dice! Same issue with an attempt...

Can't help you with what does work but I can help eliminate the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019 T510); it does not work. Neither does the Amazon Fire 10 HD. (FYI DJI Go 4 works perfectly on both these tables) I am also on the prowl for an android tablet I can use for my MM and P4 but if push...
