    Lost connectivity with the Mini 3 Pro. The aircraft did not regain communication until the aircraft was restarted.

    I had a similar incident with my first Mini3pro on its second or third flight. It too became unresponsive and I power cycled the controller a couple of times as it hovered about a metre over clean, clear pavement. That aircraft, and the next didn't remain in my fleet. I'm not sure what was...

    Yes.

    Mini 3 and Fly app v 1.10.6

    It would be easier if you went to the DJI website on the Triple and downloaded the fly app directly to it. Launch the downloaded package and it will install. I did this last Sunday and it solved a number of problems I was experiencing.

    Canadian Question: Registering your Mini 3 Pro drone in Canada

    Unless using the plus battery, there is absolutely no reason or incentive to registering it.

    Drone started losing control and crashing

    It didn't go haywire. It was flying in atti mode and you weren't controlling it properly when it had the collision. Flying indoors or in confined spaces is tough.

    Can I fly my Mini 3 Pro in Old Port Montreal at night?

    That article is absolute BS. Drone flights in Canada fall under the authority of Federal CARS. Cities can enforce bylaws as to what activities are allowed in public parks (many do ban any kind of remote control/powered devices like drones) but they don't have authority over what you can do on...

    I am in Scarborough and Yup I am cooked now, My DJI mini 2 is stuck in a tree

    I don't think he had refresh - that's why he sent it to Omniviewtech, a local DJI authorized repair facility. I'm curious to know what it cost to have it repaired and hope he posts again.

    mini 3 chargers

    I had the mini2 multicharger made by the same company and it was crap. Now I just use my HP laptop charger with my Mini3pro.

    This just sounds incredibly whiny and perhaps a TWIT (typing while intoxicated tonight) post. Perhaps I missed it but I didn't see where you offered to help in this thread. Don't take it personally if he, or anyone else, doesn't reply to you.

    DJI Props self destruct?

    It's not a waste of time to some of us. If you don't like the topic, just move along.

    DJI Props self destruct?

    Yikes! That is some scary stuff there. Any particular reason why you switched over from the original ones?

    DJI Props self destruct?

    It looks to me like It's a non flight impact that weakened or cracked it. During flight the speed of the prop started pulling it apart. That could be why it wasn't noticed on the preflight check.

    DJI Props self destruct?

    I'd be taking a closer look at that prop guard you're using.

    Mini 3 Pro battery tabs cracked

    Surgical tape also works wonders. Reusable, I've been using it on phantom 4 pro since I got it in 2018. A roll will last a very long time and there is no weight penalty.

    mini 3 pro

    I had similar flight control oddities/unresponsive behavior with my first mini3pro last August. I sent that one back in a heartbeat, and the next one for camera issues. Finally in late December I got a good unit. Aircraft that show any signs of unresponsive flight control characteristics don't...
