    P3P, new batteries now paperweights l

    I tried Litchi— it’s a great program, but it still presents the non-DJI intelligent error, flight ✈️ prevented.

    Can't fly in approved air space

    How do I hack my drones so this won’t happen again? Litchi is great, but it can’t get past DJI’s screw jobs.

    Can't fly in approved air space

    This happened to me last weekend. I lost the job, reference, great referral, and $600– wasted liability coverage for a job I couldn’t fly because of DJI. I got a letter from the FAA approving what I planned to do :— fly a mission staying under 100 feet, a quarter mile distance. I went to fly...

    Phantom 4 pro v2.0 - set up after repair

    The link button is tiny, and it’s on the body of the drone. You’ll need something very small and thin— the tip of a pen might work, otherwise you’ll need a pin, or straighten a small paper clip, and that should work. Hold it for 2 seconds. Keep hitting the link rc tab, and keep hitting it until...

    How to downgrade DJI GO4 Firmware ..?

    I hope and expect to gain usage of two nearly new batteries that DJI hobbled with a proprietary screwjob firmware update…😡

    LAANC autoroizations -Airmap problems

    Only God and perhaps the FAA knows the answer to this. I told DJI about it yesterday, and they said their team of experts would look into it. Chances are, it’s some kind of recertification— but it has been out for weeks. I flew a mission on August 27, and it went well, without incident. This...

    LAANC autoroizations -Airmap problems

    Airmap is no longer authorized by the FAA to grant permission to fly in restricted airspace. That error message is the FAA’s way of telling you this. Use another app until this is fixed.

    How to downgrade DJI GO4 Firmware ..?

    Drone-hacks.com has an app to roll back firmware for many drones currently and formerly on the market today. Some of their programs are a bit pricey, but they do work.

    Carbon fiber cage for Phantom 4 V2

    This is a great idea[emoji362], but at £450, it might as well be priced at one arm, a leg?, and half of a head. The usage of this cage is exactly as Pete says— it’s not designed for high speed flight or to protect against a crash[emoji95]—it’s a device for indoor and close proximity precision...

    So much for the battery myth !! Non DJI batterys

    You got it! These batteries had 11 and 3 flights at the time DJI put a screw job in with a firmware update in 2017. Instant paperweight Batteries wear out.. no car [emoji592]manufacturer warrants batteries— in fact, no car manufacturer even makes batteries. Time for a class action lawsuit—

    Why we are forced to buy intelligent chip everytime we purchase DJI Battery ?

    The problem DJI created has nothing to do with battery[emoji367]chemistry. It’s in the firmware, and any battery that’s not OEM DJI WILL NOT WORK!!! We are free as consumers to buy any battery we wish, but if you get a non DJI battery, you got a paperweight. I just bought two new OEM batteries...

    Getting to 500 meters (1,640 feet)

    Douggieboy here— I just found this thread, and it looks like I should clarify… The drone was never more than 400’ above ground (or lake) level. It flew across the lake, and then ascended the mountain on the other side, always below 400’ as it went up. Arriving at the summit, it maxed out 500...
