The whole episode made me hungry for some shrimp on the barbie. 🤣 Mark

The Drone Scanner app for iPhone can only track drones that are using Bluetooth remote ID. The Holystone RID module is Bluetooth. The DJI drone is using WiFi remote ID. The Drone Scanner app for iOS does not support WiFi RID. Apple will not allow developers to have access to WiFi in that...

I shot a bunch of photos to test the sharpness of the 3 lenses. I am pleased to report that all images are nice and sharp across the entire frame. No blurring in corners on any of the lenses. From 300 feet with 7x zoom it is easy to read the house numbers painted on curbs. Thumbswayup Mark

The updates for controllers and apps reportedly fix some bugs. I am uncertain what is being fixed or improved. Mark

I suspect Drone Tag’s software engineers would write the necessary code to allow Drone Scanner to connect directly to WiFi Remote ID if they could. They are pretty clear it’s not something that Apple allows. Fine by me. The fewer “Karens” with Remote ID scanning the better. Mark

I don't believe we are talking about the same thing. WiFi Direct allows two WiFi compatible devices to connect to each other WITHOUT the use of a WiFi network. Sure, I can view one of my WiFi security cameras on my iPhone but only after the security camera is on my WiFi network. Drone Scanner...

New firmware for the Mavic 3 Pro was released on Dec 27, 2023. In addition, updates for the RC-Pro, RC, and RC-N1, as well as new versions of the iOS and Android DJI Fly apps. Overview: Date: 2023.12.27 Aircraft Firmware: v01.01.0500 Remote Controller Firmware: v03.02.0700 (DJI RC Pro)...

The Drone Tag Drone Scanner app for iOS cannot detect WiFi Remote ID. On iOS, the app can only detect Bluetooth Remote ID. This is because Apple will not allow 3rd party apps to have direct access to WiFi in iOS devices. I'd love to see some screen shots of the information available in the...

It's been two days since I activated my M3P and the Care Refresh plan on my account has not been updated to reflect the activation date. I am currently losing 3 days of coverage during which my M3P was still in its box. I realize it is "only" 3 days but I do not feel it is unreasonable to...

Below is a screen grab of the description for Drone Scanner. I wonder if Apple will ever change its policy and allow Remote ID apps to have access to WiFi? Without that capability, Remote ID seems pretty toothless in the hands of 58% of the American public (iOS market share in U.S. is 57.93%)...

Today was the maiden flight of my new Mavic 3 Pro. While it was up, hovering 100 ft above me, I fired up the Drone Scanner Remote ID app installed on my iPhone. To my mild surprise, the app didn't find any drones whatsoever. A little research revealed that the iOS version of Drone Scanner...

P.S. Getting the microSD card out of the back of the drone is kind of a pain. I need to use tweezers to grab it after I've got it partially ejected using my thumbnail. Bad placement/design on DJI's part. Mark

We had guests for Christmas dinner and I was the cook, I didn't have a chance to fly the new Mavic 3 Pro yesterday. She had her maiden flight (and several more) today. I flew her only in our area, primarily above open land. I shot a few test photos in both JPEG and RAW, as well as shot some...

I decided to get Care Refresh for the new drone. I purchased it directly from DJI and, after receiving the contract, was surprised to see that coverage started on the day of purchase. I haven't even activated the drone yet (still sealed in box and now wrapped under the tree). I thought I had...

I reached out to RLSOCO regarding the extra notch in their case for the Mavic 3 Pro. This is the reply I received: Hi Mark, Thanks for your support to RLSOCO store. It's my pleasure to assist you with your questions. The case you received is the newest version of our case for Mavic 3 pro. The...
