The one thing I wanted to share, was that the OP should spend the extra $$ on the RC-2 (not the default RC-N1). Every drone that I bought originally that came with the N1 (which has no built-in screen), I ended up buying the RC-2 for it (spending way more than if I would have just bought it...

Hi msinger: For a first drone, I would recommend a used drone, the cheapest one you can buy. Mainly because, unless you are incredibly careful, you are undoubtedly going to crash it, and unless you get DJI Care Refresh, it is going to cost a lot (relatively) to replace it. Used...

I would suggest you study up on drone rules before purchasing. While it sounds like fun to go flying while drinking alcohol, it is never a good idea (read illegal) to fly a drone while "under the influence". That aside, take a look at this website: DJI FlySafe You will need to create an...

DJI improved the tracking on the Mini 4 Pro and the Air 3 - they both work way better than past DJI drones. You can see lots of videos on YouTube testing them. But like Felix Le Chat and JDubyaM stated, it is hard to beat the Skydio2 (starting at $1099). I'm not sure that the DJI will follow...

This is the label on the bottom of my DJI Air-3. 81 dB LWA means "A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the 1-meter bystander position". While the noise level is subjective, the Air-3 seems to have less high-frequency noise than most other similar-sized drones. It is more of a low-hum...

Timing is everything.

Works like a charm! Thank you, @mobilehomer!!

I've searched all over the forums, on YouTube, and Google, but can't find the answer to my question: how do you delete old DJI Waypoint Missions? Pilots talk about poking around with File Explorer, but I don't want to delete them all, just a few of them. Now that I've begun using DJI's...

Sorry, did not see you message until just now. I'm pretty that the link you posted above is exactly what I did, and it worked properly. Thanks for your help!

I did update the firmware via the old controller. Just FYI, I contacted DJI onlilne, and they were very helpful. I *did* have to unbind the old R/C from the aircraft first. Once it was unbound, then the binding sequence above worked properly. I specifically asked her if this would affect my...

Yes, that is my "back and forth", the LEDs are flashing in "sequence" showing it is in pairing mode. The RC 2's Blue LED is on, showing that it is in pairing mode. Yet, they never "pair". I have Care Refresh. I did bind the original controller to the drone. Do you know how to "unbind" the...

I purchased a Mini 4 Pro (along with the "basic" Remote Controller) a few months ago, and have not had any issues. After tiring of always having to attach my cellphone to the top of the RC, decided to spend the $$ and buy the RC 2 (which has the screen built-in). It arrived today. I charged...

I've tried a couple. Air Sentinel for Android is one. It worked. I have also tried Drone Scanner on my iPad, which also works. Give those a try. Keep in mind that the "built-in" RID transmissions do not "turn on" until you actually take off with the DJI drones that have it "built-in". Here...

I'd consider myself an advanced drone pilot, but I had a serious problem trying to land my DJI Mini 3 Pro in a 2-man Kayak, even though I was able to launch no problem. Here is a video my buddy took of me trying to land my drone in my hand - it was pretty difficult: The problem turned out to...

That looks like possibly a rogue codec has replaced the default Windows codec - that is what is showing you the Asian language message error. Sometimes installing software will do this. Like if you buy a new digital camera and install its software (never needed), it will become the "default"...
