    low flying helicopters or small planes suddenly appearing in airspace?

    I get the need for us drone operators to be vigilant in keeping an eye out for manned aircraft. The last thing I would want to do is cause a crash in which a human pilot could be injured or even killed. However, it also seems to me that there are also laws that apply to manned aircraft and the...

    My drone exploded in mid air

    Subscribed to this thread. Should be interesting from a forensic perspective. I’m very curious to see what turns up as I have a Mini 3 Pro that I often put into sport mode and fly like I stole it. It’s been between 100° and 105° here in Oklahoma all week till today, so I’ve left mine grounded...

    Mavic pro motor swap

    Kinda what I figured but I know a lot of tinkerers who like adversity. I however am not one of them. I do like wringing a little more out of my car tho.

    First Flight in the U.S Crashed my M3

    True. I had put it on a new concrete slab at our church. It gave several warnings but I thought it would be fine to just lift off a little and let it get all the satellites etc. Boy, was I wrong. It appears the Mavic Pro is way more sensitive to magnetic interference than the Mini 3 Pro. There...

    Mavic pro motor swap

    Is it possible to replace Mavic Pro 1400kv motors with higher performance motors? Would this require replacement of the motor controller boards to handle the higher current draw, or is there a more efficient motor option capable of increasing power output without increasing power requirements? I...

    First Flight in the U.S Crashed my M3

    This is what I do. Wait till satellite icon is white and “homepiont updated” message is given. I’d rather err to the side of caution. The only time I haven’t resulted in my Mavic Pro lifting off and jettisoning horizontally at full speed, straight into the side of a brand spanking new Lincoln...

    It’s $269… they accidentally got a space between the 6 and 9 which caused the 9 to step down to a different line

    Questions about your Mini 3 Pro’s…

    Ive only flown indoors once, but my indoor pets didn’t like it much. Lol I’m betting Macinfo got it right about the strobes

    Questions about your Mini 3 Pro’s…

    That must be the deal on the strobes! I was recording when I noticed them being off. Makes perfect sense.

    Questions about your Mini 3 Pro’s…

    Must be the case. I’m betting it’s my mind playing tricks on me and that feature is on the Mavic Pro instead.

    Questions about your Mini 3 Pro’s…

    I’ve been flying a Mavic Pro and a Mini 3 Pro for about a month now. Seems like I’m putting more time on the Mavic, but my mind has it that everything about the Mavic Pro seems more consistent from one flight to the next. Perhaps it’s just all in my head, but it prompts me to ask you folks who...

    Nickname of your Drone?

    I might have to start calling my mini 3 pro “hopper chopper” because a large grasshopper jumped into a rotor with a loud click and I got a really good laugh about it.

    Nickname of your Drone?

    I have a Mavic Pro named Doug. Ive made no attempt to make my Mini 3 Pro as of yet.

    DJI RC Controller “Lady Voice” and warning tones MIA.

    I’ll have to look more closely at that. Never thought to hook up to my pc with either device. I used wi/fi when I set it up previously. Is there a reset that can be done to perhaps wipe everything and start over?

    Mini 3 Pro or Air 2S?

    Perhaps you are right. Seems like when I want to just fly around the yard, out comes the mini 3 Pro. But when I want to go maximum distance with trees blocking my signal, the Mavic Pro with the RC/N1 controller comes out. I wonder if I’d prefer that controller with the Mini. Is that controller...
