    Japan License

    Sorry for the late reply! Having a license is basically to help with getting approval when you would otherwise be denied. You can still fly in certain zones, but believe me when I tell you that Japan is trying to make everything restricted. It's not just the government as you might imagine...

    Japan License

    Mavic MINI crashes. There are many bad pilots out there. NO IMU check, no calibration check. Some guys don’t even have the patience to hover before takeoff. They don’t control tests, listen to the props. Then there’s maintenance that needs to be done. Mavic MINI is a lot better than the...

    Japan License

    You can find me at SpinRush RC on YouTube. Also SpinRush_C1 on YouTube. I’m diverse in my hobbies. Tuning cars, flying drones, running RC cars, and just recently, I leased some farmland here in the Saitama area. LET NOTHING HOLD YOU BACK BRO! I’m also on Facebook - SpinRush. I’m a member of...

    Japan License

    Keio, it is very difficult. If I just want to practice, I can go back to my drone school and practice for free. That’s inside a rotten hanger, hahaha. If a drone pilot posted online where he made his video, there’s a good chance a bureaucrat will try to ban that area. I hate to be the one...

    MM Nerfed??

    I installed the new firmware today. Is there an altitude lock now? I made sure my Max Alt was set at 150m as per regulations here. It went up about 30m and then I received a vocal message “Max Altitude Reached”. I was on GPS with about 13 sats on me. There was a Strong Wind Warning and it...

    dji Care refresh for MM

    This has been going on for over a week now. I’m dealing with DJI Japan. A few minor differences. They are investigating the situation now. I have DJI Care Refresh on all of my DJI products. This Mavic Mini is the first time I’ve had to deal with something like this.

    dji Care refresh for MM

    I have been trying and trying to purchase DJI Care Refresh from their website. They don’t even recognize my S/N. Then I got a message that a 96 hour time period had expired. When did that happen? No notifications, no email, nothing. This is sloppy. I contacted support. I called...

    Lost mavic mini on first flight with it flying away and not responding

    There is no substitute for Drone Pilot school. ATTI mode is a real thing and you have to learn how to fly your drone without all the nanny features. I understand how the OP feels and possibly others when it comes to RTH. Whenever, I’m out flying Mavic Air or Mavic Mini, 90% of the people...

    OMG! A Mini Nightmare!

    Thanks guys for all the advice. Here’s the final update. After I purchased my magnifying glass ( workstation ) pictured below, I was able to reset the propellers. I know my eyesight is getting worse when it comes to working on micro itty bitty things, but I still think the screws are super...

    WOAH MINI..SPOOKED!

    Had a sudden scare today. Almost a crash. Backyard! Black asphalt. Purpose of flight: Hovering. Today, I had some free time in the afternoon. So I took the Mavic Mini into the backyard. All pre-flight checks done. Most importantly, I just let it sit there on the ground while I tested...

    MasterAirScrew Mavic Air Stealth Props

    Thanks guys! I’ve got this drone tricked out now. Love the look. It’s really quiet. Word of caution. Did not realize they would be a bit longer than the stock DJI props. Be careful putting the drone back in it’s case. It’s a bit tight. You have to be gentle.

    MasterAirScrew Mavic Air Stealth Props

    I just received a couple sets of these stealth props. Where are the recommended settings for the gain? I haven’t opened the box yet so I’m not sure yet. They look so **** good though. I got the red and the blue ones. I want to use blue on the front and red in the back. It’s going to be sick.

    OMG! A Mini Nightmare!

    Excuse me, if I’m wrong about this. In the FlyMore Combo set you get 3 sets of replacement props and screws. I looked very closely the DJI screws. They appear to have blue locktight on them already. Am I wrong about this? When I tried the aftermarket props, I did NOT use the screws they...

    OMG! A Mini Nightmare!

    I think the propellers on the Mavic Mini ( Changing ) is going to be a deal breaker for new drone pilots. If I hadn’t gone through all the pre-flight safety checks, my Mavic Mini would be all busted up right now. I changed the propellers out the night before it’s maiden flight. The purpose...

    FINALLY! 199g FlyMore Combo

    I absolutely 100% believe they will fit. The problem is who will let them ship to Japan? After that, there will be a firmware issue possibly.
