Any concerns about firmware being blocked in US? Are firmware updates altering the function of the drone in US?

Can someone verify Plus battery limitation? That’s all I have are Plus batteries. Thanks

Got my stickers today. Now I am 100% compliant, and can fly. Too windy today! Anyone updated firmware since 12/23? Any issues?

Some YouTubers are saying not to update the firmware. I updated after purchase, and there is an update there now. I'm holding off until I hear it's safe, and doesn't "brick" me,

Registered mine, with Plus battery, no problem. Arrived late last week, before "ban". Can't predict what would happen today

12/23 deadline has come and gone. What happens now? Everything I've heard suggests they should still work. I assume the value will be much higher on the resale market. Thoughts? EDIT: Looks like the ban is only new drones, not drones already approved. It seems that M5P, and all mini drones now...

Forgot about this, thanks. Ordered a label. My label printer died.

B&H had them in stock, so now I have mine. Maiden voyage this morning. Went through all the settings, but missed one. Just took pics of the solstice sunrise. Hard to edit a sunrise with jpg. Forgot to set raw + jpg. Honestly the sun wasn’t terribly overexposed, surprisingly. I would have...

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...
