    Flying a Drone in Rio

    Hello, I'm heading to Rio soon and I'm curious if anyone has faced challenges while operating drones in the city, particularly near the Christ the Redeemer statue. I'm aiming for a safe flight, potentially during late evening or early hours. However, I'm uncertain about any no-fly zones or...

    Mini 4 Pro Flyaway - Singapore

    From my research, all i found was 'A permit is not required to fly a drone that weighs 7 kilograms (15 pounds) or less that is being flown 200 feet or below. If flying a drone heavier than 7 kilograms (15 pounds) or above 60 meters (200 feet), a permit is required' So based on this and using a...

    Mini 4 Pro Flyaway - Singapore

    Update: DJI has concluded this as a non-fault fly away. They have issued me with a replacement Mini 4 and even took it a step further and issued a voucher for the wide angle lens to purchase on the site, with free shipping. Brilliant result. Thanks again everyone for your help.

    Mini 4 Pro Flyaway - Singapore

    I have tried to attach it here multiple times but it gives the impression it has been uploaded but does not seem to appear in the thread. I have uploaded this onto dropbox and hopefully, the files you need for the log are there. This was downloaded from airdata.com which is synced to my DJI...
