    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    Unlike all the M4P's and M5P's I got from Korea and Japan, I preorded the Adventure Combo from B&H yesterday. It shipped today. My photography tools refresh is now complete at least until Canon releases a new 400 2.8.

    Any thoughts on hand catching the Mini 5 Pro?

    You cannot unless you have down input on left stick. From a hover (no stick input) the M5P will gain altitude when your hand is underneath at about 8". Sport mode does not disable the bottom sensor and has more risk if you bump the right stick. I do the hand catch in normal or cinema mode with...

    Any thoughts on hand catching the Mini 5 Pro?

    Sport mode only turns off horizontal sensors. The bottom sensor is still active and will cause it to gain altitude if approached from the bottom while in hover. You can turn off all sensors in the menu and would be safer than sport mode.

    Drone Doomsday Clock ticks ever closer to midnight for the US...

    What other brand has the features, quality and price point of DJI? I think its time to buy. If I can get 6 years out of my Mavic 4Pro and Mini 5 I will be good. Maybe by then the US will have caught up some but I am afraid the price will be sky high.

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    I have noticed far less public encounters since drones are more common than when I flew 10-12 years ago. I can only think of 4 instances of concern or confrontation when flying my Phantom 2 and 4 pro. One was with police and 3 with strangers. One was hostile that I was able to de-esculate. The...

    Mavic 4 Pro batteries

    That seems pricey for a non DJI battery. If B&H gets more I may get a few.

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    This is not the deal that the M5P was. With Mic 3 out you can get the Mini just about anywhere for the $99. B & H and Adorama have it at $99.

    Problems with Mavic 4 Pro

    I have been on here since June and have only seen one issue that a few have had. It's a problem with OA where it has false detections out of the box. Most have resolved it by a technique to recalibrate the OA sensors.

    Problems with Mavic 4 Pro

    This would be better if posted in Mavic 4 Pro. I am using 2 M4P Creators and have no issues so far. The first one was in June and now about 100 flights. One of them intermittently does not connect well and has no video. POR and then its fine. This only happens in my house, out away from my home...

    Air 2s Do you know what bridge this is?

    I am surprised I remember it. I drank a lot of Tecate's in the 90's a few feet from where the video starts.

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    Amazon is not back to 100%. My Sunday overnight order of 2 hdmi cables still show delayed. I ordered 2 more last night for 4am delivery and only received 1. I have 2 tracking numbers, both show delivered on orders page but when I track the missing one it shows shipped.

    Have You Met Anyone Famous ?

    I met Mario Andretti in a bathroom at Speedway Cafe. He was using the urinal next to me. I also met Eddie Murphy at my office when he was filming Beverly Hills cop. Saw many celebrities over the years working in that area. I also met the secret service special agent for Ronald Reagan when I...

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    Has anyone had issues with Amazon orders due to AWS outage? I placed an order last night for delivery today. It has a tracking number but doesn't show shipped. Doubt I will get it tonight.
