Excellent info! Would anything need to be altered for my Mini 3? How about the remote control battery?

Using the Fly App built into the remote control, which doesn't have internet access. But it looks like I can use the site mentioned above on my phone now that I've entered my remote serial number into my DJI account.

Thanks! Was not aware of that website. The spot I wanted to fly from was in an authorization zone. So I should install the DJI Fly App (despite the warnings) on my phone, and then request an unlock code that I can enter on my remote?

Not sure exact wording, and didn't take a screenshot. I was probably 6 miles from the tiny Baraboo WI airport. Fired up the mini 3 and rc2. Got some kind of warning mentioning that airport. I shut down and went home, as it wasn't an important flight. My cellphone is a Tracfone, which means it...

I haven't flown my mini 3 in about 2 weeks, so charging up 2 of the batteries for a flight later today. Is the information in this post pretty accurate for the mini 3 batteries? https://mavicpilots.com/threads/keeping-batteries-topped-up.133886/ I can afford to let my batteries auto discharge...

Try placing your screwdriver on the screw head, then use a soldering iron or a torch (very carefully) to heat up the screwdriver shaft somewhat. The heat should transfer to the screw threads, releasing the thread lock chemical. Use care, as too much heat will damage the solder on the motor.

Sorry, didn't see the 2nd question. I have purchased a wireless microphone for the remote, with plans to combine the audio from the files on the remote with the hi res video from the mini, for some projects.

I have searched the card for *.mp4 while plugged into my pc and found nothing but empty folders. If I remove the card and use my card reader on my pc, the files all magically appear. So yes, I can access my files. Would really prefer to get to them without pulling the card out.

I want the videos stored on my remote transferred to my pc. The remote shows the files are on the SD card, but Windows Explorer shows all of the folders are empty. I have even set explorer to show extensions and hidden files.

My mini 3 spare props do include shoulder bolt type screws. The pro is different? I've been reading several posts about stuck/stripped screws here, so now carry a jewelers screwdriver instead of the DJI driver. Seems odd that they wouldn't use left hand threads on the ccw props. Could that...

Thank you for the very helpful answer!

Thanks! That's actually one of the videos I had watched. If it turns out I have more use for audio recording, I will likely pick up their hardware.

Thank you. I guess that's an option if I can't get this to work.

Yes, searched and watched several videos of people doing this. I guess I'm back to the videos, watching for specific hardware. The mic DJI sells for $329 apparently isn't made for the drone remotes.

Did I perhaps post this in a dead zone where nobody sees it, or is it just an obscure question?
