    Had some fun while flying about 150 ft above my house, watching a cop speed trapping, pulling cars over. He was working hard.

    Must have been near the end of the month and the cop was trying to meet quota.

    Hi, hello from Singapore

    Welcome to the forum. Just took a quick glance at the drone regulations for Singapore. They certainly seem onerous.

    Cannot load firmware list dji assistant 2

    I'm running into the same problem using DJI Assistant 2 For Mavic to update my Air 2 RC's firmware. I also have a Mini 2 which uses the same RC as the Air 2, so I tried using the Mini 2's update software (DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series)) to perform the firmware update on the Air 2's...

    Have you upgraded you Mini 2 to 1.04.0000 firmware?

    How was the video feed? Any stuttering and/or freezing?

    Have you upgraded you Mini 2 to 1.04.0000 firmware?

    Updated my Mini 2's firmware to 1.04 recently. The drone now takes considerably longer to achieve GPS lock and the video feed now stutters and occasionally freezes regardless of the drone's distance from the TX. Had absolutely no problems prior to the update. Can't roll back the firmware as DJI...

    Adorama selling Mini SE

    Looks like B&H are also offering the Mini SE at the same price.

    Fly app crashes and bugs

    That's good to know; thanks for the update. I updated to v1.4.8 almost immediately after it was released, so it was probably variant 1116. I updated it again to variant 1120 today, and will try it out later this evening.

    Frozen App. Drone Down. What Should I Have Done?

    Since updating Fly to v1.4.8, I've had the app freeze/crash on several occasions whilst flying my MA2 and Mini 2. Forcibly closing and then reopening the app would restore the connection and allow me to continue the flight. Note that the flight controls and RTH function still worked normally...

    Fly app crashes and bugs

    I've had the same thing happen several times since updating to v1.4.8 of Fly, i.e., the readings on the display would freeze and the on-screen buttons become unresponsive, but the video feed would continue. The only solution would be to forcibly close and restart the app. This never happened...

    Connect to DJI Assistant 2

    Well, I'll be buggered. Changing the value of upgrade_enable from 0 to 1 in defaultsettings.ini enabled firmware updating from within DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drone Series). That makes firmware updates on the M2 a whole lot more convenient! Now the question is, why does DJI set the default...

    Amazing video from drone? ( Mod Removed)

    Wingtip vortices propagate outward and downward from the wing (your video clearly illustrates that). When the AN-255 flew past the drone, both aircraft were at the same altitude, so the drone was never in any danger from wake turbulence at all. Now, if the camera drone had been a few tens of...

    Updated "Attitude Indicator", Fly v1.4.8

    Prior to 1.4.8, the direction arrow had always been blue; with 1.4.8, it now switches between blue and green in the course of a flight, seemingly without rhyme or reason. Does anyone know what the colors represent? Image of the attitude indicator (showing the blue arrow) with 1.4.8:

    ((ALL)) DRONE PILOTS IN THE U.S. MUST HAVE THE TRUST CERTIFICATE TO FLY YOUR DRONE AS OF JUNE 22, 2021!

    Most of the toy drones (Holy Stone, DEERC, Hubsan, SYMA, etc.) sold at mass market retailers don't have the imaging and video capabilities of the Mini SE. And they certainly don't have the range and endurance of the SE. Someone who was previously used to flying a toy drone with a range of only 1...

    ((ALL)) DRONE PILOTS IN THE U.S. MUST HAVE THE TRUST CERTIFICATE TO FLY YOUR DRONE AS OF JUNE 22, 2021!

    Yup, and things are going to get worse when the Mini SE is released next month. Everyone and their brother will be able to pop into Walmart, buy an SE on impulse and fly it without knowing or caring about the legalities.
