    Font size in fly app

    How did you manage to do this? I am ready to ditch my DJI RC in favour of a DJI RC-N1 and an iPad with one of the many mounts available.

    some guy doing an FCC hack permanent for RC pro Controller

    fccmod.com says it can be done on either a windows or mac computer - do you need to boot camp a mac in order to run it or do they have a native mac app that runs on macos without installing windows under bootcamp. I have just bought a mini 3 pro with the DJI RC, and although I live in...

    Ups drone

    Hate to be that driver whom when the drone packs it in shortly after delivery and can't fly home (long walk of shame), or some gun crazy guy thinks he's under attack by the drone lords and decides to open up on it with a 12 gauge :)

    GEO-FENCING NEEDS TO CHANGE

    if Beijing doesn't want drones, ban them. Stop making it difficult for pilots from other locations that need to jump through hoops, rolling back, or hacking firmware to make their drones fly legally.

    Old iOS DJI Go App Downloads?

    Unfortunatly, you're going to have to procure them yourself, and that means installing iTunes 12.3.1 on your computer, running Charles Proxy, and tricking iTunes into downloading older versions. Apps downloaded with iTunes (or an IOS device) are signed to the account holder whom downloaded them...

    Mavic battery covers - a different approach.

    I might get some of these after all the horror stories I have heard of from the smaller ones that just cover the terminals. Don't give a rats what colour they are, so long as they don't match the battery! (aka "Remove before flight") :)

    RTH or fly home?

    My buddy has a phantom 4 and always uses the automated take off and landing, along with quite often using RTH. I have used automatic takeoff on my first flight, just so I could get the bird in the air and get a feel for the controls. Rest of my flights have been manual, but then again I haven't...

    Sydney ➡Central Coast Flyer meet ups.

    I'm also in sydney - and still on training wheels with my mavic. Try not to fly too high or too far - still nervous about letting a $1700 craft get too far away. Fly mostly in parks when there is no one around.

    What's the internal USB port for? (the one behind the status LED)

    Or the Exe in a VM :) (I have both parrallels and VMware fusion on my mac) :p So can this be done by either usb port or do you have to pop the tail cap to get at the hidden one?

    Mavic is ruining my family vacation

    Or an apple store - they usually quite happy to let you use one of their macbooks to do an update, especially on a product line they sell (apple sell the mavic).

    Mavic gimbal issue; you all need to read!

    I've modified my dome, and used a dremel sanding drum on it; opening up the sides, so air can easily get into it. It wouldn't have saved me the other night though, as I didn't have it on. (probably a blessing in disguise, as the camera would have whacked it). My gimbal calibration went through...

    Mavic gimbal issue; you all need to read!

    TheLightSpeed! you just saved me a lot of research. I hit a tree with my mavic (only one damaged prop) and fell about 6 feet into grass. The gimbal popped out from under that L shaped tab. Being a cautious fellow I slept on it, sobered up (hint folks, dont fly after a few ales; especially in...
