    Air 2S Purchase

    I have purchased a drone from Sam's Club and they have an extended 30 day return Policy. I bought another drone directly from DJI and I don't know what their return policy is, but I was making sure that I wasn't going to run into where I was going to get a drone that was returned and linked to...

    Next drone after Air 2S?

    Who actually needs that much distance? The Air2S has plenty of distance. We need to keep the drone legally in VLOS anyway don't we? Unless of course we have spotters or we break the rules which of course noe of us do right?

    New Air 2S seems to be hot

    I don't think it is normal for your drone to fall out of the air. My drone does get hot on hot days but not hot enough to fall out of the sky. And not hot enough of the battery to fall out of the drone or disconnect somehow. I always make sure they are snug in there and latched before taking...

    Issues with the new IOS17?

    I updated to IOS 17 and iPad OS 17 and both of them I have not had any issues.

    Air2S not taking off, Flymode not changeable, Sensors "not able"

    Have you tried going on the DJI Forum Boards to ask this question? I haven't seen it. On there is DJI representatives that may be able to help as well as other DJI gurus.

    Dji RC or Ipad mini 6???

    I use this Amazon.com holder to hold my iPad mini 6. It works great for holding it. I don't ever worry about it coming out of the holder. I also picked up a cable that was a little bit longer. The reason for this is the cable that comes with the drone isn't quite long enough to reach the...

    DJI Statement for Remote ID (7/1/2023) It states many will NOT have to buy a module and have a Firmware update FYI

    I totally agree with you. It will be a hot product at first, then it will take a nose dive in sales. There will still be a market out there, as there will be drones out there , many drones out there that will still require them if flown part 107 or are over .250 grams. There needs to be some...

    DJI Statement for Remote ID (7/1/2023) It states many will NOT have to buy a module and have a Firmware update FYI

    I for one am disappointed in the lack of more companies out there selling RID modules. We knew this date was coming and there is just not enough of these out there. I know at first there will be a huge rush for these then the sales will probably die. But so far the ones out there I haven't...

    Air 2S Issues

    I haven't had this issue at all. I would take video of this and show it to DJI on their forum like they suggested to see what they have to say.

    RID Module

    The problem is these are backordered and I don't like to order from overseas companies if I can help it. I hate VAT taxes and the USD sucks to the EURO and the Pound

    Best drone for beginner

    I would highly suggest the AIR2S. It has just enough sensors. Front, Back, Up and Down. This also handles high winds perfect. I own one myself and love it. I think the pictures that I get off of it are great. I love the video as well. The only downside is the battery life kinda sucks, so...

    RID Module

    I had looked at this, but they don't advertise that they offer drone RID modules. They have things for Yachts and Prisons but I don't see that they offer for consumer drones. I also don't know if it would satisfy the requirements for the FAA. But I am going to have to pass, Thank You though.

    RID Module

    The problem I have is they are in another country and the VAT is high. I am looking for one in the USA if I can.

    RID Module

    This has already been asked I am sure. But what options are out there besides Drone Tag for RID modules that are not $300? I am trying to get ahead of this before I can't fly my P4P version 1. It doesn't look as they are going to release a update to turn on the RID for the Version 1. And I...

    Dji RC or Ipad mini 6???

    I use a iPad mini 6 and find it very sufficient for me. I like having the bigger screen, and a multipurpose screen. I can use the iPad mini for other things then just a controller. I find that I can see the screen at all angles and have never had problems with overheating. I am for one a...
