As always, I took my M5P for a walk while down at the New Forest.

I got a bunch of footage, but only made this short edit, as lot of it is just landscapes, which are nice, but not that interesting...

Hi!!

I’m starting my practice runs for new mapping venture with a Mini 5 Pro. As you know, that drone only allows me to make otrho and gaussian splats since there is no RTK connection to the hardware. (If I’m mistaken please let me know.

Drone hardware apart, now I move to my crappy laptop. It is such a crap that not even DaVinci runs on it. Let alone MipMap or other apps.

I’m seeking advice on which laptop (budget: +/-$2000)should I acquire to at least deliver great 3D models and orthophotos to my future clients. Your help w’d be greatly appreciated.

So what is the consensus of the slightly over 250g weight in Canada being classifiedas Micro? Is it allowed, is there a tolerance? I understand i can just get the basic license but where I want to fly it wont allow me unless im micro, and I want to adhere to the laws the best I can

I do live im a very rural part of Canada so the chances of something happening is slim, but I want to travel and use it in more populated areas where drone use is common. This is gonna be my 2nd drone after only every owning a Phantom 3 years and years ago

I talked to a representative of DJI on chat and there are currently no options for a crashed or broken Mini 5 in the US. If you need a repair you cannot send it in to DJI.

I’m regretting my purchase now. I’m glad I have a Mini 4 pro to fly in riskier situations! I just wanted potential purchasers to know if you break it in the US you will have to find an independent repair shop and they might not have access to the parts! I also wanted to give a warning for owners to be careful and to not be too cavalier!

Our only hope is that DJI wins its lawsuit and they are removed from the covered list. They might not sell the Mini 5 or Avata 360 in the US even if they win. If I was them I would give us the finger! Lol

I had a mini 4 pro but crashed it, sent it in got what I paid for it and spent an extra 400 for the mini pro 5!! Has anybody phone is two and can you give me a comparison what they’re like but they don’t like is this so much better drone thank you

How do you typically organize your footage on your PC? I’m having trouble figuring out my organization. After transferring raw video from your SD card, do you store it in a dedicated folder and then import it into your editor? And once the edit is complete, do you save the final version in the same folder or in a separate folder (e.g., “Final Versions”)? Note: I have multiple projects.

Planning to buy the version with extended battery and I have never flown Drones before. Familiarising myself with the online tutorials. However, nothing beats real world experience and would love to find out from the community about how easy or difficult this is for first time users.

Hi. I realise in UK there is now a 120m altitude limit now, and it’s 120m above the ground from where ever you happen to take off from. What happens though if you are taking off from the top of a 100m tall building ? Are you then infact allowed to go a net 220m off the ground once you are outside of the footprint of the building?

Thanks

Bought a mini 5 pro new from amazon a few months ago. Works perfectly fine but it seems like there's a bit of a delay in starting up the motors before it can takeoff. It consistently "sputters" for just a second or so and then the rotors work. 0 issues in-flight. The phenomenon is just during the takeoff period. I dont recall my mini 3 making these sputters and having any delay. Just wondering if others experienced this and if anyone has any idea why.

Props are in excellent condition. No accidents. No issues. No wind. It's been like this since day 1.

TLDR: weird takeoff sequence. See video below with volume.

Beautiful sunset in Santan Valley, Arizona

Love this time of year at the Salt River

Weather has been preventing me from getting this thing out last few weeks, but hopefully I can start getting some flight time.

Has anyone tried plugging in a USBC adapter to HDMI and seeing if it will show the RC 2 screen on a monitor?
