I saw the $759 base on Amazon. Having an M3P with the RC, I could never go back to using the phone. The combos with RC 2 are all nearly $1k more so I guess it’s still waiting time. Interesting conversation. After hearing all sides I agree it makes no sense to not get the Plus battery and...

Another view point. Briefly mentioned that they will not be confiscating drones. https://petapixel.com/2025/11/03/djis-drones-both-branded-and-disguised-are-even-closer-to-a-us-ban/

Retroactive can mean two things: A drone that was approved, but not yet sold, can no longer be sold, or A drone that has been approved and sold to the end user is no longer permitted to broadcast, and is thus grounded. So the latter seems to be what you all are saying. Since the FCC is...

With today’s FCC ruling being able to retroactive ban drones, would that mean a drone currently in use can be banned? Or is it only to devices not yet sold? Obviously it concerns all of us with Mini 3 pro

GadgetGuy you make a lot of sense. If I need to register because it broadcasts RID, then why bother with the 250 weight limit? I registered my M3P just because. No because it was required, I just didn't;t want any hassles if law enforcement stopped me. I also have the TRUST proof in my wallet. I...

Have been watching daily. Price of RC2 fly more standard battery has been stable at $1600-1700 USD. I guess that is the markup required for tariffs and the hassle of importing. I’ve seen some mini 4 pro back in stock but not worth it to me when the 5 is probably around the corner. I have the M3...

Price rises every day. I guess i missed the right price. Will have to wait for official release… don’t need it that badly. Oh well

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...
