    Never bought from B&H Photo... should i?

    For some unknown reason, my Avata 2 order with Amazon keeps getting delayed. B&H Photo has them in stock with free 2-day shipping. I'm contemplating canceling my Amazon order, and buying from B&H... Should I? If you've bought from them, did you have a good experience? If you've returned...

    can you take a photo every second?

    Aren't the images in a folder on the SD card? that's what you were after, right?

    Mini 3 & 4 battery compatibility.

    Got it. DJI, for reasons of their own that might be technical, doesn't want to support then in the Mini 3. Since they seem to have no problem spending development resources to provide forward compatability for the Mini3P batteries, my money's on some significant technical obstacle that they're...

    FPV Maneuvering Tips & Assistance

    It really depends on what you're trying to shoot. Stills, while the Avata 1/2 can of course take them, really are not what the Avata is good for. FPV is always in motion. This becomes a rule when flying Manual as opposed to N/S. The best, smoothest, most cinematic results in N/S modes is with...

    unable to land!

    To expand on what @old man mavic said, the arms with the missing prop portions would have to spin at significantly higher RPM than the other motors to produce the same lift. This is detectable by the Flight Controller, which can sense RPM and controls it constantly to maintain attitude and...

    FPV Googles for Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced

    It's a DJI GO4-based app, not sure if there is a special version of GO4 for enterprise or not. It's not Fly.

    offline waypoint mission

    Actually you can. With only the RC2 powered up, hit "Connection Guide", then "Camera View>" (upper right corner). At that point you'll see a black screen, with the tiny map inset lower left, and an activated Waypoint button left-middle. Tap the map to make it full-screen, hit the WP button...

    Mini 5 leaks

    Me too. I'm a major Litchi fan. Unless it doesn't work, which it doesn't any more for a lot of the types of missions I used it for with my M2P (and MP, Mavic Air, P4). And where did you get the idea I preferred DJI's implementation? I prefer DJI's execution of waypoint missions. The design...

    Product family speculation

    I see the demise of the Mini 3 Pro in the near future. I just don't see how it fits in the Mini family any more, since the 4 Pro came out. The $159 lower price just doesn't justify its existence, given the major feature deficits compared to the 4P. The 3 has a solid place in the lineup. The 2...

    Mini 3 & 4 battery compatibility.

    See posts 5, 7. The battery BMS participates in the remaining time calculation, and this is tuned for each drone model. As such, you need battery firmware specific to the model for correct operation of the drone. It's quite a plus to even be able to use Mini 3 Pro batteries in the 4 Pro. This...

    can you take a photo every second?

    Use the hyperlapse feature. Look at the manual linked in post #2 and 4.

    More Confused Than Ever..Help

    Against my better judgement, I feel compelled to offer a compromise interpretation while acknowledging the completely reasonable interpretations both sides of this minor argument have taken... The phrase used was, "during cocktail hour", not "while having a cocktail". So, while it is entirely...

    Mini 5 leaks

    If I understand correctly, you have an original Mavic Pro Gerbil Edition, but will be discarding all the power units (re-purposed is perhaps more accurate). I've been searching far and wide for one for some time. I have some new Gerbils, kept in storage at 50% their normal daily sunflower seed...

    Mini 5 leaks

    Maybe you misunderstand uploaded waypoints executed autonomously by the drone itself? There is an option to have the drone continue on executing the mission on signal loss. The mission executes as expected, with beautiful results, even if there is no connection to the RC for most of it. Virtual...
