The Mini 4 Pro has been selling out. Very few retailers, it appears, have them; even DJI's own store says out of stock. Whether it is tariff, regulatory or the impending release of the Mini 5 Pro (rumor mill August or September), is up for debate. Good luck finding one. I am only really...

Interesting. With all this, in addition to my local camera store, Adorama and B&H are also sold out. Maybe this means a new drone is coming , but that’s not supposed to be for a few months.

Any potential rules change, I guess, may be interpreted as a threat. That's just what the guy at the store said. Maybe this had something to do with it? I don't know if any other vendors have seen a run on drones. https://petapixel.com/2025/06/06/trump-signs-two-drone-related-executive-orders/

This is interesting - do I understand this correctly: If I have an M4P with a mix of extended and normal batteries, I need to register the drone with the FAA. If I register, then I am obligated to share Remote ID, even if I use the regular battery, and I am flying under 250 gms. Under that...

Hi all. Back again. I was out today at a local reservoir. Minimal wind. Over water, my mini 3 pro, on a couple of occasions, started to drift down and wouldn’t respond to the stick trying to increase altitude. Is my device faulty? I was thinking about upgrading anyway as it’s been two years...

Thanks How do I do so without the GPS location?

What a great tool: DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help I uploaded the log and saw that it was the wind. I did not see the RC controller flash a wind warning, but clearly the wind warning (in the log file) correlated with where I had lost control. If I had seen the wind warning, I would have...

This is all good feedback, thank you. I understand that the drone is "not rated" for wind, per se. I was just thinking of prior YouTube videos in which folks were able to withstand 30 mph. I chose the wrong syntax. As to reading the wind speed -- I am aware of the ways of reading wind speed...

Hope everyone having a great holiday season. This may have been discussed, but nothing specifically showed up in search, and perhaps we can update some thoughts. I just put my Mini 3 Pro in the air. I knew it was windy (15 mph, according to the Weather App). The controller said nothing about...

I don't have the M4P (yet...), but the Skyreat device on the M3P works perfectly well. Have they produced one yet for the M4P?

The Pilot Institute review is pretty comprehensive and the upgrades are nice, and some are compelling. For me, the waypoints function and full 360 obstacle avoidance are the salient, "drool-inducing" new features. The camera is similar to M3P (which I have). The upgrade path is painful as I feel...

Makes sense since the transmission protocol has advanced. New controller!

As expected. Thanks. what kind of values are we seeing for a trade or private sale of the mini 3 pro with RC?

Haven’t seen yet. Will the RC controller from the Mini 3 Pro work with the 4? I am thinking no, hoping yes.

They really are bright -- blindingly -- even with the semi-opaque shrink wrap. I checked the Amazon answered questions: stays on, see below (copy/pasted from questions): ======================================== Question: Should the shrink wrap on the circuit board and light assembly be...
