That was not the question, what firmware on the aircraft.

You do know that in Canada, as in the USA, VLOS must be unaided. Correct?

i guess DJI should get out of the drone businees and leave it to toys r us then.

look above at the specs heavy interference 3000 meters

That's only for you lucky boys in North America. In Europe we get CE mode, which is severely restricted, especially on the 5.8 band. For the people using iOS, there's the option of an FCC modded app that allows the drone to use the full potential but otherwise, signal is gonna be much worse than in the US/Canada....

I checked mine and i'm on 01.02.0100, is yours the latest firmware released this week?

In any case, I doubt it's firmware related but stand to be corrected.

Also, I got this on Ice_2k's recommendation and it works a treat. I can fly much farther with no interference now...

He said he just updated but never answered what was on there before he did so we'll never know, but before firmware 01.01.0700 that came out mid-December transmission was pretty poor, it did a massive improvement.

Ah ok, I didn't know that. Fair enough. Should be capable of an awful lot further though in my experience.

It’s the same hardware for CE and FCC countries for the Mini 2.

The Mavic Mini had different hardware versions for CE and FCC.

Look in the transmission tab (with the drone connected) at the horizontal 1km line. If it lands at 91db, it’s CE. If it lags at 87, it’s FCC. There aren’t two different models, it’s all controlled from software. If you’re in CE, you get the FCC modded app and there ya go.
