Yeah no problem on staying away from the fires. I'm not near rich enough to live in those areas. Thank God I live in the flat lands with the commoners. As you can see in my video lol. But it is very windy here, I can see and smell the smoke but that's about it. The fires affect me about as much...

Thank you for that. I've heard of wet snow and dry snow but I didn't know what it meant. It just looked odd to me like how is this even possible? And it covers such a big area. To me anything colder than about 50 is just too cold anyways. So Cal city boy - what can I say lol Thank you - STAY...

ok I have kind of a dumb question born and raised in California so what do I know about snow. In that picture of your house, why is your house and the ground is all covered in snow but all the trees are bare? How does that happen? The snow in the trees melts first? Then the snow on the ground?

that is a beautiful place but OMG so cold, What is your traffic like, bison and deer stampeding? lol The occasional Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits I hear choppers and sirens all night long. Choppers = obnoxious bikers and/or police helicopters

Flying down Merced Ave towards Beach Bl in Heritage Village in La Habra, CA. 1/5/2025 Nothing special, this is one of my first flights with my new DJI mini 4k. I don't think this video is 4k though. I'm still learning.

haha 10 minutes after I posted that the sun started coming out! WOHOO! I'm going flying today!

Man it's been foggy here since Christmas. I haven't flown my new quad very much. What am I going to shoot? A white out condition. Maybe I'll take it to my shop and try flying indoors. I have a pretty high ceiling there. Whatever the standard is - 18 feet I think. My shop is a mess though. No...

ahh thank you. It's nice to be here. I am a couple hours north of you - in La Habra. The northern edge of OC. This forum seems a little light for the mini 4k. I guess it's true huh, you only look for forums when you have a problem. So I guess thats a good sign. Few posts = few problems.

Oh man the adjustments are in the software! I don't have to hack up hardware anymore! Like I said I know I got the cheapo beginner model but wow this is impressing me every time I fly. Its amazing what 10 years of technology can do. I'm just flying around the house right now. Getting used to it...

So I got the mini 4k on Christmas. From everything I’ve seen on line I got the cheapo model for beginners but it sure flies great. It stops on a dime and spins on a needle. It feels like I am driving a Ferrari now compared to a mini van. With my old Phantom the app would start recording video...

So my DJI mini 4K is just a little too big for the battery compartment in my old Phantom. Hows that for a size comparison?

Yes of course especially at this price. I bought it on an Amazon black Friday sale for 240. My P2V+ cost about 1200 dollars 9 years ago so I was always very cautious with it, especially after all the fly away stories. I think for 240 I might take more chances with this one lol maybe I won't be...

Well I got it. I bought it on Amazon but I think this came all the way from DJI in China. It got delivered by DHL. And I got some customs warnings. Whew! I got it! Now for the hard part - I have to hand this to the wife so she can wrap it up for Christmas. Only 20 more days to wait lol.

Words to live by

Hi everybody and thanks again for all the good info. I think I am done introducing myself lol. I downloaded DJI Fly again and this time it works! I have it on my phone now. So far so good. And although the mini 4k is not specifically named in Litchi, I'll bet it works too. From what I have read...
