That's an OOP waiver.

Glad you got it all straightened out.

The Mini 3 Pro doesn't have the RID turned off with the smaller batteries. That's just the Mini 3 and the Mini 4 Pro.

One of the issues with the RID apps is their unreliability. Remember, when it comes to Standard RID, it is NOT the responsibility of the owner to make sure it's working, just that you're updated with the right firmware to have it enabled. For Standard RID, if the drones launches, that means it...

The Countering CCP Drones Act is highly unlikely to pass. I'm still optimistic it won't. And even if it does, that means the U.S. Government has to pay us all of the drones they've bricked. And I truly believe that single aspects of the act will persuade enough Congress folks to vote no if it...

It's called "over watch", and a very legitimate need. Look at what happened during the Super Bowl parade in KC. Of course cops need every tool in the tool box to help keep people safe. ACLU tends to take a very radical stance on many things. And in this case, they don't know what they're...

The issue is that if so, it won't work. These "bans" are mostly based on Country of Origin, and aren't DJI specific. And they include sourced parts. The main exception being the Countering CCP Drones Act. And that one is incredibly unlikely to pass. Even Congress isn't that stupid (I hope)...

From my DJI contact, "This certainly tops the list of the weird questions I've received all week! That does look exactly like Air 3…Thanks so much for flagging this to me and sharing the context. Let me look into it!" I'll share more when she gets back to me.

I 100% believe it is NOT right to ban DJI drones. Or any drone. Not without very specific evidence of any wrongdoing. DJI was put on the covered entities list for supposed human rights violations. Accusations only. No evidence was ever given, and DJI was not given a chance to defend the...

I'm checking on this with one of my DJI contacts. I'll post what I learn.

This would absolutely decimate First Responder Fleets. There are no comparable non-Chinese drones available for them. With luck, maybe 5-8 years. We not only lack a well designed or built comparable replacement, even if we had one, we lack the manufacturing capabilities to make them. In a...

Just a thought... You were pretty close to those power lines, but I don't think you hit them. However, you were close enough to be affected by the RF emitting from the lines. High tension lines will do that. My guess is that this wasn't the drone doing that. It never turned completely upside...

Please send me your email address. DJI wants to get in touch. [email protected]

I've been in touch with one of my DJI contacts. If this has happened to you, they'd like to get your flight logs. Instead of me playing middleman, please reach out to me and I'll put you in touch with her. She's working directly with the app team. Email me, [email protected].

No, prop cages are required. The FAA waiver office is in a process of changing OOP waiver approval policy. Once that happens, we will be sharing more information.
