    DJI Knowledge Quiz

    Thanks, I haven’t tried either of those but worth trying.

    DJI Knowledge Quiz

    I'm fairly new with my M2Z and have approx 30 flights under my belt since March this year. All of a sudden when I start up DJI Go 4, I get tasked with a DJI Knowledge Quiz. The dialog box says "You may skip this quiz 4 times in total". I click on the start button and immediately get a white...

    Hi from HI - Covid-19 DJI Refresh Delay

    Well, I finally received my new replacement Mini yesterday. I'm very pleased with DJI's response time during this current event. The most time took for the repair facility to re-open. Once they did, they emailed me a return shipping label and I shipped the damaged one right away. It took a week...

    B4UFLY Restriction on HI Islands?

    I noticed the last few weeks that the B4UFLY app shows the whole of the Hawaii Islands and surrounding territorial waters are under "Temporary Flight Restrictions (if I interpret the pink coloring correctly). I only started flying my MM a couple of months ago and never noticed this much...

    Hawk Close Call

    Thanks to everyone’s personal experiences and suggestions regarding bird attacks. I was fortunate this time and now better prepared per everyone’s suggestions. I’m torn between accelerating vertically vs trying to outrun them by zigzagging. I guess I’ll act out of instinct depending on the...

    Shutter and video record buttons...

    I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. The toggle button that switches from video to stills wouldn’t work either. Did you ever find out what happened and a solution to reactivate? I ended up returning home and restart my M2Z. It then worked properly on the next flight.

    No controller icon

    Sorry, M2Z with standard display controller. MiniMan’s response above, worked for me.

    No controller icon

    I've been going crazy looking for the Quickshots and APAS icons on the controller screen as I was about to try out some of the quick shots. I'm still learning after only about a week of using DJI Go 4.

    Missing an icon

    I'm really new with DJI Go 4 app and have only been practicing flying my new M2Z. I went to try some of the quick shots and couldn't find where to go to activate them. Upon looking at some YouTube tutorials, I noticed a couple of icons missing on left side of my controller screen. I only have...

    Hawk Close Call

    While flying my M2Z yesterday for the 2nd time, something flashed across the screen while at about 150 ft high. Upon reviewing my video frame by frame to determine what it was, it appears to be an Io (Hawaiian Hawk) that flew by to check out the drone while in flight. Fortunately, it left me...

    Hi from HI - Covid-19 DJI Refresh Delay

    I don't know about that. I really enjoyed flying the Mini with it's few limitations. At least it's pretty quiet and discrete so as to not alarm my neighbors. I live on 14 acres, 3,100 ft up on an inactive volcano so I have plenty of room to explore without bothering any of my neighbors.

    RTH Hypothetical Question

    Yes, I'm talking about going uphill and never being more than 400' AGL (above ground level). It appears I can set the max altitude to more than 400 feet (with warnings) so it does seem possible that I can explore uphill from home since I do live 1/3 of the way up the hill/inactive volcano...

    RTH Hypothetical Question

    I've been wondering and haven't seen this question posted anywhere. I live at 3,100 ft elevation and wanted to explore some higher elevations on our mountain. Suppose I fly from my 3,100 ft elevation to 4,000 ft elevation and RTH gets activated due to LOS or low battery and my RTH elevation is...

    Hi from HI - Covid-19 DJI Refresh Delay

    I'm fairly new to drones, having graduated from a Parrot Bebop to Mavic Mini about a month ago. I crashed my Mini into a tree last week and now waiting for DJI to send shipping instructions to take advantage of the DJI Refresh program I bought into. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 virus...
