I noticed on my new Mavic 3 that it not only exhibits the behavior described by OP, but also at times during acceleration it’ll rock forward and backward almost as if it’s trying to both accelerate and brake at the same time. My wife looked up at the drone the other day and said “is it already...

How do you know it’s monetized by the user? Honest question. YouTube puts ads in front of my videos that have thousands of views, I’ve never gotten a penny. YouTube pockets it all.

That’s awesome, and absolutely how to handle things! I too don’t fly in my neighborhood much, it just happened to be a perfectly clear night, with zero wind, and my wife was off on a quick late night errand leaving me with the sleeping kids so I couldn’t go to the local park to fly. I felt like...

That’s exactly what a creeper drone stalker who is taking pictures in peoples windows at night would wear. - Alarmist neighbors, probably

Just the other day I had a neighbor post in our neighborhood Facebook group saying someone was hovering a drone 10’ above their driveway/house and every other house in the neighborhood taking pictures at night, and gave a “my young daughters noticed” appeal for sympathy, saying he was going to...

The Mini 2 is, IMO owning both, worth the $200 difference is prime day pricing compared to the mini 1. It’s a solid drone, better case IMO, and the signal issues are gone.

Yeah. Way better. I no longer lose FPV feed when the drone is 20-100 feet away. I no longer have choppy feed in residential areas. It’s less noticeable away from WiFi interference, but in my neighborhood it’s a night and day difference. Exactly as it should be. My Air 2 is the same way. Rock...

There currently exists no test recreational drone pilots need to pass. Someday there may be one. Today there isn’t.

That’s a good question. Unsure if they did or not but I too want to find out. What’s odd is that I was testing the effectiveness of yagi and parabolic antenna on the Mavic mini controller the day I got 1600 feet, so subsequent flights with the “boosters” got me up to 2000 feet but not much...

I suspect he’s talking about the rubber covers that stretch over the motors and props to hold them in place while the drone is folded. He’s right, they are often tight and no good, likely damaging the motors over time. I have some looser fitting ones that work well and fit in the fly more case...

Trust me, I know it makes no sense. Here is the flight today, notice the signal quality and specifically the notices: Here is the flight where I capped out at 1650 feet: — notice the signal loss notices. Going to test it a few more times because I’m not understanding why it was so different...

I’m not one to believe in technical miracles, especially delivered via software as I’m a software dev myself... but! From a spot in the US where I flew 1600 feet with the mini (I posted about it last week, started on my deck in a housing development) before getting massive signal breakup, I was...

Honestly, I think being afraid of the wind is smart. People who have flyaways have a no-fear attitude and forget about strong gusts up high. Obviously don’t let the fear make you not fly, but be aware and cautious unless you don’t mind buying a new mini. And listen to wind warnings! DJI can...

Glad you’re enjoying the drone, it’s a nice device especially for the cost. It might be worth buying the DJI Refresh warranty for it if you think flying into trees may be an issue. But of course that doesn’t help you much if it remains stuck in those trees and out of reach :) enjoy the drone!

Not wanting to dig up an old topic. But today, still in 2020, this happened to me. I’ve been flying my phantom 4 with my iPad and iPhone without issues. Even with my advanced controller with the built in screen which runs Android, and never once got the quiz. Today I tried flying with LG v30...
