Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone else has been having these issues, if so, have you solved them? Any advice would be appreciated.
I could, and cannot, pair my DJI RC-N1 with the Mini 3. I have no issues connecting the new DJI RC however. I've tried both DJI RC-N1 controllers I currently own but to no avail, stuck on flashing yellow lights. EDIT After multiple un-install and re-installs of the DJI-Fly App the Mini 3 and the RC-N1 remote have paired. You can only pair 2 drones at a time to any one remote I've learned, if you want to add a new drone you have to un-bind one. Testing the RC-N1 the range is *almost* triple to the DJI RC.
I palm launch/land my Mini 1/2 to minimise debris getting into the motors, I've never had any issues with this technique. When I attempted to palm launch my Mini 3 it fell out of the sky with a sickening crunch. Fortunately just a few cosmetic scratches, diagnostics run and everything appears okay. Has anyone else had this issue? I'd recommend attempting over soft ground rather than concrete when launching. Is the Mini 3 capable of palm launch? I've caught 1 video showing it but after several attempts the bird will not leave my hand (increasing upwards arm thrust, imagine dribbling a basketball upside, only leaves my palm by a couple of cm landing softly on it again). EDIT Without risking the drone I've taken to palm lunching but only using the stick to take off from my hand. A bit inconvenient but better than the drone just falling out of the sky.
Many people have complained about range tests, the best I can achieve is about 1100m with the DJI RC, unobstructed, rural area with VLOS. I remember similar issues with the Mini 2 until a firmware update resolved this. Bonus though, you can mute all sounds on the DJI RC including RTH and Low Battery. I can also confirm the SD card slot is a bit of a pain. Card slots in upside down, fyi, compared to the Mini 2. I find using a sim removing tool to push in and remove does the trick for those who have mentioned difficulty inserting/removing.
