    Pro4 mini

    Hi, Is it possible to fly Waypoint missions, when not connected to DJI or the internet? My drone asks to be connected, before allowing flight! Cheers, C.

    Hi there!

    Hi G, I have a DJI Pro4, and I'm enjoying getting used to what it can do. One thing is Waypoints! This is where, with an APP or in my case a proper DJi controller, waypoints can be set to "go here, turn left, go there." as you wish, and it has safety features. What I noticed is: when a video...

    Hi K, As earlier mentioned, I bought a DJI Pro4 mini, with RC2 controller. It's perfect for me, and I'm slowly learning what it can do with it. I've had to use RTH a couple of times, when I panic, but I'm getting less panicy the more I practice. I'm learning waypoints, which is really good...

    Hi, I've been flying y Pro4 now for a couple of months mainly under trees where there is intermittent GPS coverage, and I'm really happy with it. In fact it is perfect for me, and has helped me out of situations. I steer through the trees and along paths in woods, and in one case when the...

    Hi G, Actually, I'm not sure as I couldn't see it, but thought a bird flying aways was the drone. :) Then I spotted it, just hanging there. As the screen had gone wonky, I flew it back by eye. It's a good job it was quite near. I pressed the RTH button, but it has to be done it a certain...

    Hi, I flew for the first time today. During the very carefull flight, and controlling it via the RC2 screen, the camera screen cut off, and another screen came up, so I was then in panic mode, as I couldn't see the drone. Has anyone any idea, why the screen should change. It could have been a...

    Hi L, Do you mean like this? It didn't work. I tried but failed to develop a personal transmitter received system to suit me, including a 'quadrature encoder' so I could dial the 'drone' aim direction. C

    Hi L, Ok, maybe the gimbol thing was misunderstood? I can imagine that the camera/gymbol is very delicate. With mine I just veloed one of my cameras onto it and flew around, nothing clever like FPV, just look at what the camera produced later. I was quite happy with this, and buying a new one...

    Hi L, I understand, and agree, but I'm used to repairing my stuff, and would like to be able to repair crashes. Can you clarify, something that I almost recall? I read that DJI camera/gymbols need to be updated by DJI so they aren't completely owned by the owner. Do you know of anything like...

    Hi B, Will you post links to companies where a drone can be self build please? C

    Hi, I've been making/flying my drones for 5 ish years, no gimmicks just simple Drone/controller combination. I would like to by a 'proper' drone now. I'm on the Mavic pilots forum, but I'm happy to buy a different type if it isn't tied to the manufacturer, and prefer a controller over phone...
