The first time I flew the mini 3 pro I had the drone 80 meters behind me, got disorientated and hit the RTH button to bring it back. Next I discovered the radar screen which I find very useful. Line of sight conditions should always be observed, apart from the legal aspect, 2.4 and 5 GHz signals don’t propagate well through trees etc. So this is why free LOS is a must.

Thanks for a very good demo, Nobby. I almost always use the map view when flying the Mini 2 and Mini 3 Pro. It is interesting to me that when I use the free mapping program-SkyGrid-when flying my Mini 2 that both the Attitude Indicator and Maps View are on my iPhone screen. The Attitude Indicator is in the lower left corner and the Maps View is in the lower right corner. Both of the features are useful, but the Maps View has kept me from falling into a panic on several occasions. Cheers from Wisconsin, U.S.A. Buddy.

@@nobby-green I like your videos, down to earth and always giving good tips. Now, if they would just update the crappy way to get maps on the Mini 3 Pro, it would be wonderful! Spoiled with my other drones and having never to concern myself.

@nobby-green Жыл бұрын

@@JohnMerryman Yes it can be a faff... but i just teather my phone to the controller vis hotspot, maps are there instantly all the time. i dont bother trying to pre load them. Have you not tried that?

@JohnMerryman Жыл бұрын

@@nobby-green Yes, for local flights, just have connected to my iPhone hotspot, works fine. But, if I want to download maps for places I'm going just find it a pain to use the pinch and zoom to get to the location. I would think it would be much easier if there was a search window you could load the area you want. It's sort of a minor issue, but could be made more user friendly. Love the drone as it is so easy to startup and fly.

@nobby-green Жыл бұрын

@@JohnMerryman Totally agree John. but you can do the same when your not flying local, just connect to the wifi and search where you need to go. i dont bother downloading maps. I just turn the hotspot on and they there instantly. you dont need the wifi once you see the maps. 👍

I think it would super awesome if Dji added that Home icon (H), that the Avata has, to your video feed screen. So wherever you are you will see that H on your screen. Fly to the H, you golden.

That would be very useful. You should suggest it to the developers at DJI 👍

Great video! Trying first a Mini 3 PRO and now a Mavic 3 PRO the weak signal indication and loss of the down link happens, often quickly. During some flights just going backwards was not an option. Using the map, following the red line back until full signal.... Very useful instead of panicking. I would say: Use the map function when all signals are full, and check it out!

Totally agree! Thanks Stefan the red line is your best friend 👍

So example if i could set the drone to a certain height say 5ft it wont go below that? Thank you for your time and videos

Unfortunately not. 😁 what you can do is set it to hover rather than RTH if you lose signal. Hope this helps 👍
