    Activating issues Mini 5 pro

    Island Guy, did you sign up for an account with DJI before hand? This can be done from your home computer, tablet, etc.

    How often do you use your gimbal cover?

    Paul, I have (or have had) four DJI drones, and the Mini 4 Pro is by far the easiest to snap in place, no fiddling about whatsoever.

    How often do you use your gimbal cover?

    As it’s a quick (2 seconds?) function on my Mini 4 Pro, I do it as soon as I finish flying, ie before I fold the arms with the props.

    Hey There! New member. My Pro5 Mini is waiting at the post office for me. Never have flown a drone although have flown Rc planes.

    Hello from Vancouver Island not that far north of you. You will find your Mini 5 Pro incredibly easy to fly—not quite as thrilling as piloting an RC plane. For me, it’s mostly about the photographic opportunities, ie creating 360 degree panoramas, time lapse videos, etc. Indeed, this forum is a...

    Canadian UAV Pilots — Are we free to fly?

    Hello, Canadian drone enthusiasts, After today's firmware update, it seems we no longer have to worry about unlocking areas (circles, polygons) or zones on our accounts in DJI FlySafe. Hooray, we are free to fly (using the don't do anything stupid rule), at least with our ~249g Mini series as...

    DJI Fly 1.19.0 issue with AR functions

    After reading your post, I specifically checked this after updating both RC 2 and the Mini 4 Pro, and all of these three settings were functioning. Maybe just a problem with the Air 3?

    If the DJI Fly App is pre-installed on my RC2 controller for my Mini 4 Pro, why do I need a wireless connection to an Android phone?

    May I suggest that if you are new to this wonderful hobby that you get lots of practice on dry land and in a large open area first.

    Hi from Vancouver Island BC

    Greetings from Comox, Ron. After 8 years of flying drones, I have yet to see the Drone Police shaking a finger at me for being a few grams overweight. Enjoy your fun new hobby—you will find it to be quite addictive!

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    I might wonder how accurate and repeatable the scale is, especially when subtracting the pepper grinder. Why not fold the arms and set the Mini 5 Pro upright? 1.2 grams is such a tiny difference—4/100 of an ounce.

    Air 3S, Mavic 4Pro & Apple Computers

    Hello from Comox, Al. Have you put the video file directly on the SSD and tried playing it on several programmes that will play your video files on one of your Macs? Could it be a slower connection from an adapter for the little SD card, a not so fast USB cable, etc? I also found that some video...

    Mavic mini controller options

    Alan, is it just that you would rather not use your mobile for the display? I enjoy using my 11 inch iPad made possible with a mounting device made by Mavmount (mavmount.com). I love having 4X the real estate as compared to my mobile ‘phone or my DJI RC2.

    RC2 Hardware updates since 2023?

    I wouldn’t be qualified to know for certain but it might be good to keep both just so you don’t have to unbind from one of your drones and bind to the other every time you switch.

    Anyone from the Sunshine Coast on this forum?

    Upandabove, not far as the crow flies in Comox. Original Mavic, Mavic 2 and Mini 4 Pro. We have a nice little group of flyers as a Shared Interest Group (SIG) through the Comox Valley Photographic Society and we get together for monthly meetings and go out together from time to time.

    Could the RC have become too hot from sitting in the sun?
