    custom unlocking help

    Yes, I've had this happen to me once on a job. Very embarrassing and that's what led me to hacking DJI firmware so that it cannot control my drone. As a Part 107 pilot, I follow ALL F.A.A. rules and regulations and get pre-approval to fly in restricted airspace but I WON'T be stopped by China...

    Dji Mini 2 Firmware

    So there is NO WAY to go back to original firmware on the Mini 2?

    Air 2s Range

    Maybe that's why they have 04 version now?

    RID Intricacies Come September

    That brings up a good point. If you have a 249g drone that does not need registering and you strap a remote RID (or strobe lights) on it...Voila!...you are now over 249g and you have to register it. They should pass an exception for these types of issues if they really want compliance.

    What is the maximum VLOS you've ever achieved yourself?

    Just remember that the signal acts crazy when the drone gets close to the water, especially with the downward landing sensors. I have seen quite a few YouTubes of people crashing into the water when they got below 10 feet of altitude due to this problem. Be careful.

    What is the maximum VLOS you've ever achieved yourself?

    Way back when the DJI Mini 2 first came out AND before I realized that BVLOS was not allowed by the FAA AND before I got my Part 107 and became air aware... I flew 12,000 feet down range at about 300 feet altitude way out in uncontrolled airspace in the country. It came back with only electron...

    DJI RC Versus iPhone

    I have Air2S and considering the DJI RC...what version of the firmware do you have to have on the Air2S to work with the DJI RC?

    DJI won't launch in LAANC approved zones

    There is another option...get the DJI drone hacked so you can takeoff anywhere and anytime. That's what I did. Now, when I get my LAANC approval from the FAA (my only recognized authority in the U.S. to fly), I don't have to worry that I'll be able to fly my Part 107 mission. One less thing to...

    What is the best tablet to use with DJI Air 2s?

    IPad Mini 5 using my iPhone to broadcast wifi. Works great.

    How many of you hand catch your Air 2s?

    I do it almost every time. I'm vigilant and careful and wait for it to "lock in" to landing mode so that it descends at a slow, steady pace. To me, this keeps out dirt, dust, and grass that it otherwise might ingest. I have a landing pad but seem to always be in a hurry and don't use it.

    New firmware update?

    Well, I'll explain why I will not update my Air 2S anymore...I have geofencing removed and that is better than any other feature that DJI is likely to give us. When required, I will get a little add-on remote id but I will never update the firmware ever again in the foreseeable future.

    Dear DJI

    It's mostly just letting off steam at a company who maximizes profits and minimizes customer concerns. Well, you all know!

    Dear DJI

    Good to know, always wondered about that.

    Dear DJI

    Dear DJI, Love your drones! Top notch technology executed well. Love Remote ID availability on the Air 2S! On the latest firmware update, it appears that remote ID will be approved by FAA for the Air 2S...nice! Hate Geofencing! Please don't tell me where I can fly. Make your Goggles...

    Flickering Video?

    That's why I sent mine back after getting one! The one on my Mini 2 works great and I leave it on all the time. Sunnylife needs to IMPROVE this one 'cos I would love on on my Air 2S
