I know.

Yes, they raised the price shortly after the sale price was listed.

The DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo is for sale on Amazon for $454! I am tempted to buy one, but the talk is that the U.S. government is on the verge of banning DJI drones. On the DJI website, the Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo is selling for $1,099.

It could be. I'll keep an eye on the next place I launch the drone. Thanks.

My Mavic Mini requires a compass calibration every time I use it -- in the same city. I usually fly within a 7-mile radius. For example, I flew it one day on my street, and it told me I needed to calibrate my compass. About 5 days later I went to fly it at another location about 6 miles away...

Well, I've been flying my resurrected Mini for two weeks now, and it works perfectly! I'm really happy about that because it will give me more time to save up for a Mini 4 Pro. 😁

Thanks, good point. I'll keep an eye on it.

Last fall, while taking my Mini out for the first time in many months, I accidentally crashed it into my house. Stupid me; I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and meant to go straight up but instead went sideways. I immediately got error messages on my screen saying something like...

However, I read an article in the news that said that the U.S. government is trying to ban the use of DJI drones because of security concerns. Would...

Not a gimmick. I have an orange plastic landing-legs extension on my Mini, and in the bright sunlight it actually glows, helping me see my drone when otherwise I would lose sight of it in the bright sky. It also enables me to take off better in grassy or rough surfaces. One of my best investments.

The other day I crashed my original Mavic Mini, which I've had for several years, and it no longer works. Instead of having it repaired, I decided it's time to upgrade. I was thinking I could save some money by getting a Mini 3 Pro with its top remote (w/screen) and Fly More Kit over getting a...

Thank you. That makes sense!

Yes, I also heard that 12 was a good rule.

The other night I took my Mavic Mini downtown to try to get some photos of the Blue Moon, but when I opened my UAV Forecast app on my phone, it said "Not Good to Fly." The reason was that there were only 10.9 Sats Locked. Now I know I can go into the settings and change that parameter (it's...
