The test performed in the YouTube video is worthless because the tester flies at 30 metres maximum altitude beyond trees in the close foreground that are 10 to 15 metres tall. At 100 metres downrange, at 30 metres altitude, the signal definitely begins to get killed by those trees. At 300+...

Yes. I noticed while shopping at a big box store this week, in an obscure suburb of a medium sized North American city, that the bricks and mortar stock is dated FEB2022. This indicates that DJI has very tight supply chain logistics, and suggests that it's now or never to buy a downgradeable...

Yes. Excellent. Thanks!

I have a brand new in the box Mini 2 showing a packaging date of FEB2022, so presumably preloaded with firmware version 1.03.00. When I Activate this aircraft, via the remote, running DJI Fly 1.5.10, will I be forced to install firmware version 1.04.0000 in order to Activate? Or will I be...

The VLM program has been upgraded to V. 2.6.1 within the past week. Most of the "partial bugs" (e.g. intermittent CSV loading glitches) have been ironed out via a new "launch" button that is integrated with Google Earth behind the scenes. Also, the two new flight modes, "spiral" and "grid" are...

Until this matter is resolved, I'll be moving the flight mode switch on the controller to sport during RTH, and prior to manual disengagement, so that any commanded termination of RTH will also transmit the Litchi mission disengagement command.

That's disappointing but also a relief, as at least I don't have to struggle with that "glitch". Are there any other Litchi features that you know of that are not supported by the Mini 2? Thanks!

Is anyone using DJI Controller firmware V04.11.0016 and Litchi for Android and having FPV options work correctly? I.e. Course Lock and Home Lock icons appear on the Litchi screen and work? Thanks!

I don't think I did the math on the price. You can probably save a few bucks via shopping around, substituting, or mixing and matching. Price aside: The extra batteries and the charger are great. The bag is very intelligently designed and fabulous. It takes a bit of fitting to get your...

I did my first test flight with the Litchi app and my Mini 2 yesterday. Waypoint Mode worked flawlessly, which was great! However, FPV mode did not present the icons for Home Lock or Course Lock. Is this a known issue? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I've attached a...

I've powered down the Mini 2 before pressing the button to stop recording. Those videos have so far still been on the SD card, but have required post-processing to get them to work. If anyone requests it, I'll find my post processing method and upload the deets (there's a free kludge that works).

I'm not 100% sure, but I am inclined to believe that 1.5.10 is more recent that 1.5.4. I may be off base, but I think it's one point five point 10, rather than say a variety of 1.5.1. If I'm right, you probably have the latest version of DJI Fly as of 04MAR2022. If I'm mistaken I'd...

Hmm. I found mine via Craigslist, last month. As we speak (03MAR2022) I see $267USD being offered as the top result on Ebay.com for search term "iPad Mini 5": (the link seems to be fifteen lines long). It seems that the supply may have dried up somewhat and the prices may have begun to go up...

It seems to me that there might be a bit of confusion here. The OP has specified VLM non-support in the topic, but talks about Litchi in the post. I have noted that VLM does not show the Mini 2. Is there a version of VLM that explicitly supports the Mini 2? If not, what is the work around...

I'll just add my .02c. I was thrilled to get an Asus ZenPad Z8S because it works with DJI Fly and has a good sized screen. Then I noticed that I could only get low resolution screen capture video (a must for me) -- maybe others have better luck, and I noticed that in flight video streaming was...
