And seems to fix the FCC/CE mode issue in Canada. I always see it use FCC mode now. No longer have to do the reboot nonsense to trick it into FCC mode.

Flew it a couple of hours ago with no issues.

I did an update this morning and flew my Mini 3 for the first time. Got to 360 m with no signal loss.

The update to the controller firmware also included an update to the Fly app to version 1.6.9.

I just updated and did a quick checkout flight. All went well. No issues.

How do you install it? I am not getting a prompt to install when I power on my DJI RC.

Nevermind, I powered on the M3P and checked for firmware updates. Installing now

 

[old man mavic]

just done the update install, dont forget to go through the settings in the app ,as some of mine had changed after the update ,this is quite normal,its things like RTH height max flight distance and other similar settings

 

[MR.G]

I have only flown it once and only changed from KM to Imperial. I am hopefully going to put it through its paces tomorrow and will play with all of the settings

• Max Flight Distance​

• 18000m
• And you got 360m
• Is that a good thing or bad?

I found this and I don't understand

Screen said more distance than it should
Is it a software issue?
Looks like he is saying you can't believe what you see on the screen for distance anyway?
What do you think? maybe you saw 360m but you were 3,600m?

I got to 360 m with no signal loss. That is about the distance some people in Canada have been having problems. That was where I lost sight of it, so that's when I started to return. I checked on a map and the distance was about right.

I'm not into crazy distance tests. I'm used to flying VLOS and within 500 m, as per Transport Canada regulations, so I doubt I'll change my habits now.

I bought the Mini 3 for use in developed areas, and control zones. For out in the boonies I'll likely stick to my Mavic 2, which has more stability in gusty conditions.

I did notice if I ignore the low signal warning it would come and go but I keep video and control for the most part
Anymore If I don't loose signal while keeping VLOS I'm happy just getting my m3 back in one piece

Take care launching after latest update of controller …. I had to re calibrate sticks after launching when I found I had no control of left and right on right hand stick….
Turn off mini 3 before re calibration…
Anyone else had this issue ?

 

[old man mavic]

did you check to see if the lack of left right movement ,was not caused by the setting in bypass mode being turned on during the update

 

[SpinItUp]

I had a gimbal spasm mid-flight (horizontal went awol). I did a recalibration of the controller beforehand

 

[Flite1]

did you check to see if the lack of left right movement ,was not caused by the setting in bypass mode being turned on during the update

That’s a good point, but does the bypass mode disable the stick input when flying normally ? ie, not in follow mode.

 

[old man mavic]

@Flite1 ,in bypass there is a setting where you can prevent the right stick (in mode 2) from making the drone go left or right ,using the right stick ,it only allows the drone to go forwards or backwards ,
you can still yaw, and go up or down,with the left stick

As @old man mavic mentions, in the Settings Safety Tab area, the "Disable Sideways Flight" is just below the "Obstacle Avoidance Action".
