    Lost another drone

    For some it just takes a little extra time to learn. Maybe 20 drones in 20 years. Best pilot on the forum? Maybe best at processing replacements from DJI.

    Photo Mode Aperture Issues Discovered- It's Not Good

    I checked 2 of my Macic 4 Pro's and neither exhibit this behavior at those settings. I am at latest firmware, .0500 on controller and M4P with latest Fly app.

    Not sure about sky swaps but California signed a new law effective Jan 1 regarding real estate imaging for advertisement. Article here from San Francisco Chronicle. New California law means big changes for photos of homes in real estate listings

    Mini 5 Pro is Broadcasting RID with ALL Batteries, Including the Mini 5 Pro Standard Battery

    I would not trust AutoPylot or any B4UFly like app as your only source for legal flying confirmation. There are many restricted, prohibited areas that are not covered in AutoPylot. I would love to have one source to check but they are not there yet. As for example there was a discussion on...

    Mavic 4 Pro height limit

    I am at 0500 on the controller and 0300 on the M4P Creator with Fly app 1.19.4 and still at 1000m limit. I do have the handheld twitch while recording but tested only to confirm. It's not something Iwill be doing so I will not be upgrading firmware anytime soon. It seems the .0500 aircraft...

    Legal or Illegal?

    I have reasonable doubt. I have been near that same spot. If it was an airplane or helicopter and above 1000' it would be legal. The bridge is 280' and the peaks in the background are approximately 1200'- over 2000' I was flying from Half Moon Bay to San Francisco and saw a glider at my...

    Legal or Illegal?

    I find the defendant not guilty. I have flown over this with part 61 and driven over this bridge many times. There are several photo ops but mostly one on the north side, a view point and this one on the south. A short hike up this mound makes for a good shot. Here is another Pic from that spot...

    Long Battery Charging Time

    This is not normal and time to diagnose. Try different cables, different power source and move the batteries that didn't charge to the slot that did charge the one.You can also insert the battery into the drone and charge with the USB cable to see if the battery will charge. It will take a...

    I still have a Phantom 2 new in box. I forgot about it and found it recently stored in my garage. Guess it is going into my drone museum.

    Firmware v01.00.0500 Problem

    Glad you got it resolved. That is what I found with my issue. Would be nice to get a real fix. Being able to format from the controller in the field would be a plus.

    Firmware v01.00.0500 Problem

    My issue was a little different. It had the same message but only when there was a D-LogM file on the drive. It was on 2 different M4P Cteator's. My workaround was to format on PC. Format issue with D-LogM

    Firmware v01.00.0500 Problem

    Is there a D-Log M file on the SD card or internal drive? Did you format the drives with DJI Fly? I had a similar problem but only associated with D-LogM files. No issues with only picture files. I am on .0400. Try formatting your SD and internal with your PC.
