    Dji quite props.

    ^^^^^^Did not watch the 13 minutes video since that person is just trying hard to get money by having such a long video. Yes I had this issue. It seemed to go away after my next flight. Probably has to do with the props needing to break in the joints are probably a little stiff causing the...

    IPad mini 5

    Thats correct the current ipadmini is stressed out and its worse in the heat since it throttles itself down, and it helps not to use a case also. But my iphone suffers the same fate but lasts a little longer. My second issue with ipads is the screen brightness. I live out west and its hot and...

    IPad mini 5

    The problem with the ipads is they are for indoor use, during the summer I have to use my iphone since my ipad is sure to shut down at over 80f outside before 1 mavic battery runs dead. They also dont have the brightness hence all the shrouds they sell for drones. I would recommend just going...

    Geo fencing and the no fly database update

    Why do I think? Its more like why do I know I am locked out? I updated the NFZ database with a drone update and suddenly was locked out like every consumer. The issue comes down to DJI not differentiating commercial vs hobby. I have no rolled back and am able to fly from home, which is slightly...

    Geo fencing and the no fly database update

    Youtube on how to roll back and defeat it. there is a tool dumldor to roll back firmware, erasing the NFZ was a tad harder. I apologize am not able to provide step by step, one thing I learned quickly is you have to roll back one firmware edition at a time.

    Geo fencing and the no fly database update

    Ok I live in the USA I have no idea what the laws are over there. But I have written permission from the FAA before the low altitude approval system was in place to fly within 5 miles of an airport at a certain altitude. Should DJI lock the hobby person out from this area yes? But if I have a...

    Geo fencing and the no fly database update

    I recommend rolling back the firmware before you get stuck. Its so nice not having to be bothered by it. And as of right now the no fly database is stored on the drone so you can also wipe that back to an empty file, and if your controller has internet it will show the current no fly zones but...

    Geo fencing and the no fly database update

    Then you dont need mom and dad constantly telling you ****. I am 107 and updated, it put restrictions that are beyond what the FAA wants in some areas, also if you are using an ipad like I am with wifi only or in a remote area without cell signal then you could be grounded. Nothing better than...

    How do you like to learn to fly drones?

    If you expect great things right out of the box you will be disappointed, most of the good drone videos and all good videos for that matter are made in Premier pro, just like most great photos you see are edited in Lightroom. I would suggest spending time learning how to use PP by watching...

    Which SD Card To Use!?

    I had problems with some SanDisk even rated for U3 with my drone that my gopro didnt seen to experience. I stick to Samsung Pro Select for my drone and have had zero issues either video or picture. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Memory-MB-MF64DA-AM/dp/B01DOB6Y6A

    How do you like to learn to fly drones?

    It was natural from years growing up playing Nintendo and PlayStation. The DJI products have such great stability and so many nanny software you basically have to be an idiot to crash one. Photography I carried over my DSLR days and a lot of getting a good picture is timing (light) and editing.

    Height restriction!

    After a few days of bad weather, I was able to test out. I downgraded to 1.4.100 and then applied a wipe to the NFZ file on the drone following a youtube guide. The application shows the restrictions but just gives me a warning now and the drone has no issue flying beyond the low altitude limit...

    How often should you change Props?

    I have only changed them once when I was landing on an uneven surface and my back props caught the dirt. I ended up replacing all the props with the low noise ones as thats all I had spare. I have had the same low noise props on for the past 5 flight hours and will clean them off when the drone...

    NFZ Limit - just appeared on controller

    In my business with real estate photography there is no one policing drone photos, so yes its whoever can get the job done on time is who gets it. These new zones are overkill and I am part 107 and have written authorization to operate within class D airspace and I shouldn't have to do extra...
