I'd missed your response to my issue back when I originally posted. Started running into this issue again recently, and while I had previously had luck with closing/relaunching the DJI Fly app, this time around I couldn't get the 5.8ghz band to appear no matter how many times I tried. I came...

Really helpful info regarding the RTH altitude being "this altitude or higher". Thank you for your contribution.

Excellent answer and super helpful. I suspected that might be how it works with the obstacle avoidance kicking in and the drone basically hugging the ground as it moved down the mountain. I think the biggest concern in this case would be trees without leaves as those branches aren't always...

Hey All, I have what I hope is a simple question. I'm flying a Mavic 3, and the drones altitude is determined from the point of launch. My question is if I begin my flight from the base of a mountain, where the drone will register 0 feet AGL, and then fly it 5,000 feet up the mountain, from...

Thank you Vic, always appreciate your expertise and experience. What about the floor/ceiling numbers I have highlighted, am I reading those correctly or am I missing something?

Hey all, Hoping that the more experienced amongst you might be able to help me clarify an issue. I live in Southern California, near Los Alamitos Army Airfield (KSLI). Where I live is class G (uncontrolled) airspace, but according to Aloft a large portion of the airspace surrounding where I...

I'm going to Italy soon myself and was hoping to bring my Mavic. I've looked over several sites that outline the process, and it seems incredibly confusing. In the States it was pretty straightforward, but Italy makes you jump through a lot of hoops. Can I ask, what was your experience like...

Thanks Vic, always appreciate your insight.

I'm sorry if you've answered this elsewhere, but is there any wiggle room for flights where the drone is transiting from point A to point B, and a person unexpectedly crosses underneath the path of the drone? Say for instance I'm flying without any expectation of crossing over a person, and...

2.4 GHz has better range and penetration (meaning it will go through walls and buildings better), but it is used by **** near every consumer electronic, and has limited channels. 5 GHz is a portion of the spectrum which was opened to consumer electronics more recently and has more channels. As...

I wish that I could, but unfortunately that's the crux of my issue, even when I set it to 5Ghz, the next time I turn on and pair my controller/drone, it has automatically switched back to 2.4Ghz, and as I show in my video, it doesn't even give me the option to then switch back to 5Ghz without...

I live in a moderately urban area, and had been really struggling with connection hiccups and random lag/dropouts (Mavic 3 with RC-N1 running on a Google Pixel 7). I figured it was due to interference. I'd initially set my transmission to "dual band", thinking the software would pick the best...

Thank you Vic, appreciate the clarification. I was completely crushed I wouldn't be able to fly for a month. Happy that won't be the case. BTW, recently watched a few of your YouTube discussions. Appreciate what you do for the community.

Walked down to the beach to fly, began my pre-flight, and saw that there was a TFR listed in both Aloft and B4UFly from Feb 5th-Mar 4th (2200 UTC-1900 UTC) that covered all of Southern California along with parts of both Nevada and Arizona. I'm new to all of this, but I was somewhat blown away...

Oh awesome, I didn't catch the contact info. Good looking out, thank you.
