    US Retailers and stock

    Firat of all I have no plans on ordering one as I have too many to fly now. But I am guessing the 1st part of July other retailers will have them available. There is a chat log on the DJI Forum and Best Buy said they will have stock 21-Jun. But that could be a ploy to get orders as Amazon has...

    US Retailers and stock

    Who remembers the similar craziness when the original Mavic Pro was introduced? People were following their FedEx flights on live radar tacking and tracking the FedEx trucks around their neighborhood. They were selling on eBay for 3 times their original price. To order one from DJI you were...

    Well respected YTer poll of 800 votes 47% have range issues

    Here is a well respected YTer that likes the Mini 3 Pro but is having range issues as well. He has a large number of followers and I enjoy his reviews and he is always on the mark. Granted he is not a transmission expert but he has flown thousands of flights and he knows when a drone disconnects...

    US Retailers and stock

    Am wondering how many have decided to skip ordering from DJI until they get a feeling of honest reviews of ithe Mini 3 Pro and elected to wait and order from a US retailer instead. Especially after the Mavic 3 problems. I'm currently on the sideline as I have two Ai 2s and two Mini 2 as well as...

    Mini 3 Pro FCC approval for US?

    Okay, thanks for the clarification. I can completely understand that. It is just that I have followed virtually all of DJI releases since the P3 and have never seen this. I can't believe they got FCC approval in 24 hrs, DJI must have the FCC in their back pocket. Doubt Elon Musk could get...

    Mini 3 Pro FCC approval for US?

    So if I understand this correctly, DJI announced the Mini 3 Pro on the 10th, took people's orders (and money) on the 10th and filed for the FCC approval 2 days later? Remember we're dealing with the government here.

    Mini 3 Pro FCC approval for US?

    Does anyone know for a fact that the Mini 3 Pro has even got the necessary approvals from the FCC? Seems strange vendors in other countries as well as customers in other countries have got it but there seems to be no shipments to the US. I've never seen this with any other drone release. Some...

    Mini 3 Wrap

    Although I don't have any of my other dozen DJI drones wrapped I did cave and got the same Decalgirl War Tiger for my FPV. But I am looking at wrapgrade to do some of my Air 2ss and Mini 2s. I have heard very good things about the wrapgrade skins.

    Signal on mini 3 seems awful. I am getting worried.

    Most people have no intentions/desire of pushing it out to 18 km (I say most). But the extra signal strength means a lot as I fly a lot in the Rocky Mountains and also in extremely heavy forested areas of northern WI and MI. And it seems I always seem to have good signal and never lose...

    First impression

    Thank you @anzacjack as I put a lot more credence into reviews and opinions of those that have purchased it and therefore give more of an honest review.

    Question about new Mini 3.

    What I am doing, after so many were disappointed in their M3 purchases is taking a wait and see attitude. So far a number of issues that multiple people are seeing but most people really like the drone. I am sure shortly once US vendors start getting the Mini 3 pro it will be available for...

    Anyone see this video of the Mini 3 pro hitting a school bus.

    Yes it does not count the damage to the drone.

    Anyone see this video of the Mini 3 pro hitting a school bus.

    Being it did not cause any significant injury or more than $500 in damage then, no, they would not have to report it.
