    DJI Fly App: FYI: Undocumented (I think) Photo Mode Small Area Metering Area Selection

    I encountered this metering selection mechanization a couple of days ago. I am using the RC-N1 controller with an iPhone and the DJI Fly app. All SW and FW is current. (Mavic 3, non-Cine.) If you guys already know this, please be gentle. 🤣 But I see no reference to it anywhere in the user...

    Newb Questions: USA Flight Permissions: FAA Authorizations, Geozone Unlocking, Etc

    I uploaded my 2-year authorization from the FAA. Edit: To clarify, when I applied for an FAA authorization to fly in this Class D airspace, their online form allowed for a time span of up to 2 years. I applied for that amount of time and was approved.
