    I'm Furious! Mini 3 Pro Can't Fly Waypoint Missions

    Correct me if I am wrong...but the FAA states: "All drone pilots required to register, including those who fly for fun, for business, or for public safety, must operate their drone in accordance with the final rule on remote ID beginning September 16, 2023, which gives drone owners sufficient...

    I'm Furious! Mini 3 Pro Can't Fly Waypoint Missions

    Sorry, just an aside....did I read that correctly: "I had initially purchased the mini 3 pro primarily for future remote ID capability." Why on earth did you buy something for that capability? Every person (literally, 100 percent) I know does NOT want that capability and think it is a bad...

    I'm Furious! Mini 3 Pro Can't Fly Waypoint Missions

    I love these threads. 1: Someone buys a product (months after it has been released) and has been known to everyone who researches that waypoints are not available. Numerous threads about this on this forum and others 2: People expect a drone in this price range and weight to have...

    Got reported and a call from the FAA

    I am starting to think that some folks here just troll or are complete imbeciles. Sadly, some may be both. Anyone that thinks a heli or plane should get out of the way of a drone is a moron.

    Got reported and a call from the FAA

    I assume that was rhetorical LOL My last flight in a OV-1 Mohawk was almost a disaster. (1990) We did a pass over the runway at max speed to do a pitch out and we had a bird strike. Anything small can cause an aircraft to crash. Video of how a my plane flew.... The point of the video is to...

    Got reported and a call from the FAA

    From the perspective of a drone pilot, and a person that has logged over 10000 hours flying fixed-wing and rotor aircraft: Put the drone down! The helo that took off might have to make sudden changes (like birds they see). You have no idea what the flight plan is and where they are going...

    Not to be a Karen (drone police) but would you do differently?

    He seemed to know about the issues. And yes, to be honest. It is a very Karen question to ask "I did ask if he was hoping it would fail mid-flight and then he'd have a reason to go buy a new one. " Why would anyone even think about that as a question to ask? Seriously,. Nothing wrong with...

    New mini 2 pilot in San Antonio, TX

    I am in San Antonio. I fly all the time in the SA area and outside of it. Fly where ever you want as long it s legal. I use Airspacelink but lots of folks use other LAANC approval sites. Just make sure you are using a LAANC authorization app to make sure where you can fly and what altitude...

    How will RID be Utilized by Law Enforcement?

    uh....<cough>...no. people are worried about some morons coming and harassing them while flying legally. As a side note, people are afraid of other Government Agencies and/or policies and laws for many reasons. It does not mean that they are doing something illegal. Your Red camera is a good...

    Are you a drone scold?

    I don't like when someone in a position of authority questions me about something LOL.. I definitely do not like it when a stranger does. Let me flip this: how many of us have had a Karen or Ken come up to us while flying and they are telling us what we can and cannot do. That is how a...

    DJI RC External Antennas

    I don't see how it could. I mean, it is just a difference in antennas.

    Who was/is the targeted consumer for the Mini3 Pro?

    It is only the first 28 miles that are hard LOL. I am doing an Ultra Marathon in Jan (100 km/62 miles) I have done several 50 milers. Seriously, the training runs are so nice to do. Just kick back go out for a few hours. Walk, run, go over boulders. And tons of things to video if you bring...

    Who was/is the targeted consumer for the Mini3 Pro?

    That was a very lengthy and articulate post you made that is better than the one I did LOL...Same message though.! It is like the CAD forums I go to. People buy a 300 dollar 3d Printer or laser or CNC machine and they expect it to make a 350 chevy engine with it LOL
