    When will someone make an Anti-RID transmission module you can put on your drone?

    We know there are many who don't like RID. I think it would be rather easy to make a low powered ANTI-RID transmission device that is placed on the drone itself.. A device that would just interfere with the RID output signal only, coming from a drone with pre-installed RID. The Drone would still...

    Mavic 3 series (M3E tested) verses Matrice 30 series Realworld Range Assessment done by my SAR Friends In Arizona. MAVIC 3 Series WINS by 2 miles easy

    It's just an ask, not a command. I would just hope people would be respectful enough to stay within the subject matter of the first post. Read my other posts for more info on what this thread is about. I ask so the thread doesn't get cluttered with irrelevant posts.

    Mavic 3 series (M3E tested) verses Matrice 30 series Realworld Range Assessment done by my SAR Friends In Arizona. MAVIC 3 Series WINS by 2 miles easy

    These guys perform search and rescue (SAR) and sometimes surveillance. They expected the M30 series to at least be able to go 1000 feet to 3000 ft without losing significant signal or control when at low altitudes (less than 100 feet) below vegetation and small houses or buildings. When...

    To any future posters, don't talk about VLOS or Range testing legalities on this thread. These issues are not relevant to the subject matter of this thread.

    Mavic 3 series (M3E tested) verses Matrice 30 series Realworld Range Assessment done by my SAR Friends In Arizona. MAVIC 3 Series WINS by 2 miles easy

    They were able to get a waiver. Approval had something to do with the location and getting a TFR while they did the test. Range tests shouldn't just be looked at as "range Testing". They also indicate how well a drone and RC pair can penetrate ground structures. When I see range tests, I get...

    Mavic 3 series (M3E tested) verses Matrice 30 series Realworld Range Assessment done by my SAR Friends In Arizona. MAVIC 3 Series WINS by 2 miles easy

    Those tests were to see the difference in the transmission / receiving capabilities of the 2 drones. They have been having problems with less than 1 mile with the m30 series. Think of their range test as a tranmission/recieving quality check. It indicates that the M30 is going to have issues...

    Another drone crime: "It's against the law; it's trespassing" says the police

    No mavic 3 needs to get 25 ft up to a window to see in clearly. The Zoom is too good. At night, I think a mavic 3 can be 100-200 ft away from a window and see in without issue. ATTN Pervs: don't get so close as to have your props heard, and tape those lights up as to not be seen. Duh.

    Mavic 3 series (M3E tested) verses Matrice 30 series Realworld Range Assessment done by my SAR Friends In Arizona. MAVIC 3 Series WINS by 2 miles easy

    My friends in Arizona SAR ( edit: tests done with waiver) have been having issues with their Matrice 30 drones regarding range. This Weekend they tested the Matrice 30T against a Mavic 3E. Mavic 3E went 5.5 miles without any control loss or video glitching before needing to turn around due to...

    China Week DJI ban

    Yes. All hobbyists and commercial (nongovernmental service providers) will still be able to use DJI drones purchased before the ban. I hope they get the Mavic 4 in production and selling in the usa before this thing is ratified. You still get to keep them and use them.

    Does Mavic 3 Enterprise Series Support ADS-B

    I fly a mav3 enterprise. by default, it is on. I have looked through my settings very often and have never seen an option for turning adsb on or off. Just my opinion, but why would dji add the option to turn it off? It is just a safety asset. It only receives the signal, and does not send one. I...

    Bought and Tested the DJI RC Plus on Ebay that claims to work with the Mavic series of Drones. Guess What? IT DOES WORK! I'll tell you why.

    This Ebay RC Pro Plus works with the Mavic series of drones because the seller has modified the operating system. He changed it from the OS that runs the RC Plus and Changed it to the RC Pro OS. There is a caveat though. The seller emphasizes that some buttons don't work and the firmware cannot...

    mid mission battery swap RTK disconnect

    I fly a Mav3E and an M30. The best way I have found to get convergence immediately is to. First, turn on my RC, 2nd. Connect it to my hotspot, 3rd, turn on my drone(s), 4th, turn off RTK, 5th, take off to 100ft. 6th, turn RTK back on. When I do this I get immediate RTK connection 90% of the...

    My Thoughts on why the Matrice 30 and 30T have dropped in price by about 4,000 US dollars recently. I just Bought a new M30 for $5,200.

    The seller was selling it for the standard 6,500 dollars. I got an email from them with the offer of 5,200 dollars. I couldn't resist.
