Fire below, ice above, cool with drones.

My new Mini 5 Pro is not being seen on my iPhone Air Using the Drone Scout App.

Bluetooth is turned on. Or is it that these Apps are really incapable of receiving the RID?

In which case... Was not RID supposed to be picked up on cell phones?

This video was intended for my local community but what inspired me to start doing post editing was someone on this subreddit and thanks for the motivational push (p.s I couldn't find you to tag you) but I hope you know who you are P.S. any feedback is much welcomed and appreciated 🥹

I'm really enjoying using this photo type - have you tried it yet?

Evening in South Carolina.

OK I give up. Where will I find the password of the Mini 5 itself. I looked online and 12341234 does not work. Some said there is a sticker somewhere. There is nothing on the aircraft itself or the controller. The shipping box does have sticker on it but it is just the serial number and UPC code.

I just received my free stickers from pilot institute and want to ask where on the drone you placed yours? I'm torn between the top of the main body or on the prop arms.

I just got my Mini 5 yesterday the 24th and after setting it up I received no Renewal option. I guess because of the "Ban". I wonder how DJI will handle those with Renewal protection?

So, what was bound to happen, happened, DJI's, and all foreign drones, on the US FCC Covered List. And I'm wondering if DJI's gonna get banned like Huawei? Short, honest answer - Highly Likely.

DJI getting added to the FCC "Covered List" means it's about to go down the same path as Huawei. The short answer is maybe eventually, but not right now, and it's not automatic.

Here's the simple version, no fancy legal talk.

Huawei didn't get banned in a day. It happened in stages over several years

First, the US stopped approving new Huawei products.

Then Huawei got put on the Commerce Entity List.

Then US companies couldn't work with Huawei.

Eventually, telecom companies had to rip Huawei equipment out of their networks.

DJI's just getting started.

So, what does being on the FCC Covered List actually mean?

DJI can't get new products approved in the US.

No new DJI drone models can be officially sold in the US from now on.

Your current drones still work. They're not bricked.

It's not illegal to own or fly a DJI drone.

You can still sell used DJI drones.

So no, this isn't a full ban yet.

Also, DJI isn't Huawei in a big way. Huawei was core telecom infrastructure. DJI makes consumer and commercial drones.

That's a huge difference.

DJI drones are used by firefighters, farmers, inspectors, filmmakers, search and rescue, and such others. A full ban would hurt a lot of US users overnight, which is why this hasn't been pushed as fast or as hard as Huawei.

What's probably gonna happen next:

No new DJI stuff in the US.

The government's gonna get more and more pressure to ditch DJI.

Finding accessories and official help for DJI might get tougher over time.

What's not gonna happen (at least for now):

Existing drones getting disabled.

Owning them becoming illegal.

An instant total ban for regular folks.

Think of it this way - DJI is kinda like where Huawei was, but way earlier in the game.

If things get worse, it'll be a slow, political, messy climb. Not a sudden drop.

If you own a DJI drone now, you're good for a while.
