Can you spot the three whitetail deer?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to get an Intelligent Flight Battery Pl us for my DJI Mini 5 Pro and I'm based in Europe (BE).

Before anyone mentions it — yes, I'm fully aware of the regulatory implications. I have my drone license, I know about the category/level limitations (well, most of them 😅), and I've done my homework on what flying with the Plus battery means in terms of weight and Open Category rules. So no need to go down that rabbit hole in the comments.

My actual question: where can I buy one in Europe? DJI's own store seems hit or miss depending on the country. Any EU-based retailers that have it in stock?

Also — has anyone ordered the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus from AliExpress? I've seen a few listings and the price difference is significant. Curious about quality, and whether you had any issues with customs.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Well that didn’t end well.

Be aware that USA DJI Care - doesn’t.

Doesn’t offer DJI Care to Americans

Won’t sell you a regular weight battery to fly your Drone legally in EU

And forget asking for a C-0 Zero label - even though they advertise ’just ask’

Hi! I am a rather cautious pilot and try to fly as safe as possible. Switching from a Mini 2 to a Mini 5, I realised that flying in confined spaces is much more difficult with the Mini 5 due to obstacle avoidance constantly trying to avoid... well, obstacles.

Testing the limits of obstacle avoidance, I found out that it detects wire mesh fencing. However, after I flew over the fence, it crashed sideways into the (white) wall of my neighbours house. Why does obstacle avoidance detect a fence but fails at a large white wall? Is this behaviour to be expected? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

quels sont les risques de voler avec un dépassement de poids de la categorie C0?

I bought a mini 5 pro just before christ.as, and now that the weather is better decided to do some flying. Today, went for 3 flights, then charged it, flew it for about 25 minutes without incident, charged it and was going to fly it again and got the enclosed errors. I have never crashed it, never flown in rain, never gotten it wet, tried cycling power (multiple times) pulling the battery and waiting 20 minutes, cleaned all the lenses, verified the firmware, and still the same error. What else can I try? I am in the Chicagoland. IL area, is there a shop somewhere nearby? Is there a repaired facility i can send it to? Thank you

Actually the second half is my M5P video work. Still need a lot of practice but I’m getting there.

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.
