    Tablets no longer supported in the US?

    Tried this on my PC and was able to download, but on my tablet I got some 'create a free account' thing that insisted on my giving a credit card number. Thanks, but I'm aware that almost all tablets and phones have GPS receivers - that's not what I believe is the problem. Pretty certain it's...

    Tablets no longer supported in the US?

    Tried this on my PC and was able to download, but on my tablet I got some 'create a free account' thing that insisted on my giving a credit card number. Don't think so. UPDATE - Downloaded one to my PC, then copied it to my tablet via USB cable. First was the first version at 13.0 and that...

    Tablets no longer supported in the US?

    Had my Air 2 for about 4 years and went to first a Samsung A7 about three years back. That worked well for about a year and then seemed to get dropped by DJI Fly. Went to an A8 a year ago, and it worked great until the last Fly 'upgrade'. Now it's not usable with ANY DJI app. Looking at...

    Soldering skills (not mine!)

    Absolutely right about the iron being too hot - that's why so much of the wires are bare. I'd hate to see what the underside of the board looks like and I really think you're being too charitable at a 6 - this is more like a 4.

    Brand New MicroFlight Db120 RemoteID Module With Battery for sale

    Ordered it for my Air2, but then DJI updated my software and the thing broadcasts on it's own. Obviously I don't need two so this ones for sale. Brand new and still in sealed factory box. I paid just under $140 and will sell it for $130 including Priority Mail shipping. I can take plastic...

    MA2+SC ... Where to find my RID ?

    MA2 updated - I also had no luck entering my valid RID into the FAA registration website. 20 characters, correct prefix and correct drone serial number, but FAA kept saying it was invalid.

    MA2+SC ... Where to find my RID ?

    You've also got to update DJI Fly as well. Nothing anywhere says this, but that's how I was able to see my RID.

    I did firmware updates on my MAVIC 2 yesterday and can't fly today due to CODE:30064.

    Did you update DJI Fly????? I didn't have the experience you did after updating my Air 2, but had to update my tablet as well (and nothing tells you that's needed . . .).

    Mavic Air 2 RID firmware update available today

    Found my problem!!!! Thought maybe I had to update my Fly app. After going around in circles on the DJI 'Fly Safe' road block and getting to the download part, and then going around in more circles to get my tablet to accept an 'unknown source' update, everything now works!.

    Mavic Air 2 RID firmware update available today

    Although I've updated everything updateable, I've looked in every place on the controller menus, including the About tab and cannot find anything about RID at all. Must be my RCN1 controller.

    Leaked images!

    Already ordered. IF DJI really does this, I'll sell the module. If they don't, I'm still legal.

    Leaked images!

    I've been flying my 'antique' Mavic 2 with a Samsung tablet that's a whole lot larger screen than the integrated controller they keep pushing. I've been anticipating this new guy for some time. If I were to buy a 4 Pro, they'd better offer it with a plain-Jane controller version, otherwise...

    Mini 2 Abandoned NATO early warning station

    No wonder! Thought it was Kinross, Michigan!

    Mini 2 Abandoned NATO early warning station

    Interesting. I was stationed at Kincheloe '63-'69 when it was a SAC base. Only interesting thing back then was an old Nike missile installation at Raco. Where is Ballado anyway? Can't find it on Google Maps.

    One Stop Shopping Help Needed (SysAdmin: don't kill me)

    You don't have to join or fly at one of their fields. You only have to follow their guidelines (or another CBO's).
