The subscription is optional. It puts your name higher on the list (along with all the other subscribers) that clients see for your area and allows you to see how much other pilots are bidding on jobs. I'm still deciding if it's worth it.

I have both drones and do commercial work. If I could only have one of them, it would be the Mini 5 Pro with the RC Pro 2 controller. That's about all I fly anymore, other than my Air 2s for mapping jobs. The only exception would be if I'm taking photos to print in a large format to go on...

This is really cool! Can the C1 button still have another function when you're not taking off?

That's crazy! That's the exact reason I got that SF stand alone policy - so if I ever had a claim it wouldn't affect my homeowner's. I guess all these bastards truly are in bed together. I might have to rethink this now. Thanks for the info!

I have the State Farm Personal Articles policy. I've never filled a claim, but people who have have posted on here that it went well. I was surprised to hear that SF didn't cancel their policies afterwards.

Yeah, I thought that was odd, too. I was using a Mini 4 Pro standard battery when I checked it. I was actually looking for other drones in the area, as it was near an event that others might be shooting. I will try it with the M5P standard battery, and M4P standard and Plus batteries and report...

Is the Drone Scanner app reliable? Is there a better one to try?

I've always been afraid to try any aftermarket batteries. What has others' experience been with these?

In a recent YouTube video comparing the Mini 4 Pro in Night Mode and the Mini 5 Pro in Auto (it doesn't have a dedicated Night Mode), the shadows were definitely brighter with the Mini 4 Pro, but the overall quality of the footage looked better with the 5. The 5 had less noise in this person's...

Using the Drone Scanner Android app, my Mini 5 Pro does not show up when using the standard battery. I haven't checked it with the Plus battery yet. I purchased the Mini 5 Pro on Amazon in the US a couple weeks ago.

I am using the RC Pro 2 controller with my Mini 4 Pro. It is an awesome combination! I haven't tried it with Maps Made Easy yet, but I did try it with DroneLInk. They don't support that combo yet, but I have it close to working. I'd be interested to see others' answers regarding this combo and...

I did one of these EVgo jobs in a nearby town recently. I got the job through FlyGuys. Not a bad gig.

Hello, I finally pulled the trigger on a new Mini 5 Pro. I bought it on Amazon for $759 with same day delivery! I only wanted the base model, as I already have an RC Pro 2 controller and plenty of batteries from my Mini 4 Pro. That particular package only includes 2 extra props. I would like to...

This is the one for the Air 2s that will also discharge the batteries down to 60%: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J7M1MPL?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3 These ones are popular because they charge all the batteries at once. This is a trusted brand, affectionally known as the "YMCA"...

The Amazon links in the OP now go to a different US based seller called GD Sales. The prices are substantially higher now.
