    Clarification on international air travel with drones

    I recently used the Mavic forum to ask the same question, but it was a domestic flight. The forum guys were very helpful. I ended up taking the drone and three batteries in my carry-on with some camera equipement. The TSA folks didn't even blink at that. They were much more concerned about my...

    Batteries dead and gone?

    I recntly bought two aftermarket batteries for my Mavic Pro because: 1) I couldn't be sure the "DJI Batteries" adverstised were really factory new DJI items. The wording was vauge for several offerings. And 2) I wanted to try an aftermarket battery as the supply of the factory batteries dries...

    eBay Shopping

    Interesting discussion about ebay. Can a buyer contact the seller and arrange for a diiferent route of payment such as Venmo (that I think PayPal owns), or even a cashiers check in the mail? I thought the whole idea of a PayPal acct was to make these buy/sell transactions easy and safe. I...

    eBay Shopping

    So I was browsing eBay recently to see what's available and to keep an eye on prices. I own a P3A. I see that one can buy a Phantom 3 A or P copter only (no camera, batteries or RC) for $150 to $170 and they are advertised as in excellent condition. The sceptic in me wonders why these...

    Looking for a small cable

    Here's a quick update on finding a replacement cable. The search appears to have been successful. I ordered a 6-pin gimbal cable from Aliexpress on 6-20-21 and it arrived on 6-30-21...much faster than I expected from China. The total cost was $7.50. It's shorter than the DJI cable...but it...

    Looking for a small cable

    Well, I just ordered one from that first link for eight bucks...nothing ventured nothing gained. It looks like it might take a month to get here, but we'll see. I'll keep you guys informed on the transaction and what actually might show up. Thanks for everyone's help in working through this. It...

    Looking for a small cable

    That is an excellent tip, quaddamage. From your link It appears there might materials available to repair or even make a replacement cable. I had no idea. I wonder if DJI's connector is some kind of standard fit or something specific to DJI. Does anyone have any experience in actually trying...

    Looking for a small cable

    ianzone, I was looking at my cable and kind of thinking the same thing about the possibility of it still being useable. Your advice reinforces that. Trolling around for a replacement cable and not readily finding one will certainly lead me to giving it a try. Why not? lol. It's always nice to...

    Looking for a small cable

    Thanks. I was hoping this post might help me find some of those guys with extra parts from those P3s. I'm fairly certain the P3 Advanced and Pros would use the same cable. Hopefull the P3 Standard does too. I'll start contacting some shops directly and looking for guys parting out any P3s.

    Looking for a small cable

    I had a slight "contact" incident with my P3A. There doesn't seem to be anything major broken other than this short, flat cable that comes out of the bottom sensor pod to the camera platform. How might I find one of these?

    Changing camera settings to JPEG and RAW

    Thanks you guys...the menu prompt was in plain site and I overlooked it. I've finally been flying enough recently to be getting comfortable with all the info available on the screen and now changing camera settings.

    Image Transmission Settings

    The more I read about this, the more questions I have. So it appears the RSSI graph is an indicator of WiFi signal strength. Then I read that the P3P and P3A use Lightbridge for communication between the RC and AC and someone wrote that because of that there is no WiFi frequency used or needed...

    Changing camera settings to JPEG and RAW

    My P3A is taking pics only in JPEG. I'd like to change the setting to both JPEG and RAW (DNG). I can't find the "settings" choice to do that. Could someone walk me through the sequence to find that adjustment. Currently on the full flight screen I'm prompting the three horizontal lines at the...
