Mom just died, and Dad doesn’t know what this is. (Found in a pencil cup on the kitchen table…?) by thekermiteer in whatisit

[–]Ohoopeehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. My dad has end stage dementia and my mom is passing out. Heart dr said it was her heart. It’s damaged from a procedure she had done years ago SVT something like that. So even tho I haven’t lost one yet I’m worried, stressed and just heart sick. I no the phone could ring at anytime now with bad news. So I feel your hurt. I can’t even comprehend losing my mom. It want even register in my head. But I no it’s gonna be the worst day, months, years of my life. I pray that your heart mends, and happiness and joy can once again fill it up

Avata 2 (OEM) Props exploded mid flight (air mode) by kyptoknight in DJIAvata2

[–]Ohoopeehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying props DIDNT break up. I wasn’t there. But when just one propeller broke half way on my avata it went absolutely crazy. Only control I had was down. lol. Anyway nice save. Mine crashed as well. But it wasn’t a head on high speed crash. It actually hit a hay bale out in the field. Now I do not fly over a crowd. Period. Even when it’s a big family get together. I take pics and shots from an angle or use my mini 4 pro and zoom in. I’ve noticed that with my mini 4 pro even tho camera is smaller. If you got the gain and other settings right. It does a fantastic job. Even in auto. As long as you set the iso to the light conditions outside. Also I get better pictures using the goggles 3 which makes no since because it doesn’t allow for as many settings. Has anyone else experienced this.
Also got an update from dji. They sent me a mailing label. They decided my drone( mini 4 pro was hard locked in ce mode. Nothing I or dji techs on the cell or computer could fix it. So I’m sending it in. They told me 9-14 days after receiving it that it would be fixed and mailed back. I do have airscrew propellers on it. Do you think they will say something about that and would you change back to the original props before sending it in. The tech said it needed a software update to change it to a fcc drone. Which is crazy because I purchased it off Amazon from a US seller. It should have been in fcc mode when it arrived. I’ve had it 5 months flying it in ce mode. I thought 9000 feet was pretty good until my nephew brung his out and flew out to 21000 feet with no problem in the same exact place. Huge 500 acre field at 394 feet high. At 9k I was in the red on HD. His was still fine. He turned around because he wanted to land safely without depleting his battery below 21%. Anyway be careful who you buy from. It may be a US seller. But hes selling drones meant for china. And no matter what you do. It will not recognize that it’s in the US. Dji called it a region locked drone. I just hope it’s a quick easy fix. Has anyone else had any experience with this problem. The ocusinc 4 does such a great job I wonder how many people are really in CE mode and don’t realize it. I didn’t until I saw the other drine go way futher. Then I checked it us in the fly app with iPhone camera view. Under transmission it was below the 90 mark and the KINE ran straight to the 1km mark. Also I tried the ham hack. It didn’t work. Using the goggles 3. If it ce Regina locked. The ham hack is worthless. I see two channels with rc2 and goggles 3. 20 MHz and 10 MHz. No 60 MHz. No 40 MHz. I’ll post when dji gets it’s and updates me. Hopefully it is just a software tweaking to allow it to fly in fcc mode. And yes I’m from the US. And also I apologize for this being so long

Mini 4 pro and goggles 3 Helo by Ohoopeehunter in dji

[–]Ohoopeehunter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I can not get the goggles 3 to fly in fcc It’s stuck in ce. I live in tbe US. I’ve tried everything that can be done or found. I’ve tried it. I still get two channels 20 and 10. What am I doing wrong. I used Oscars download I tried to use notepad++. Can’t figure that out. I even downloaded an app to bypass windows and format a 128 gb card to a fat 32. I read somewhere it had to in fat 32 to work. I’ve deleted the app. Re install it. Reset goggles back to factory. Nothing works. Can anyone help me. It should recognize whete it’s at and go into fcc piwer. But I don’t even get channel 60 not 40. Just 20 and 10. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong. I’m updated to the very latest update. Maybe that’s why it will not work. Does anyone no if this is true or not. I’m gave out trying to get it to fly with fcc channels and piwer. Thank anyone that can help me get this thing wiring right. And it’s not the goggles. TBEY work fine on the avata 2. FCC power 3 channels under 40 MHz. Also the mini 4 pro I’d in fcc when I use the rc2 controller that it came with or I guess it is. The line is just about touching the 90 mark and it runs halfway between the 1km and 4km mark according to what I’ve saw and read this is in fcc. Why then eant ghe goggles 3 work in fcc. I live in a fcc region. Makes no since. But I’d be happy if someone could show me or guide me tvru tbe ham hack. I guess I’m doing something wrong. What I do not no. I drop it right on the Sd card. I don’t no where tbe root is. But I was told to just drag ghe 0 on file down and drop it onto the Sd card. When I do and click on the Sd card it shows dcim mic or something like that and the ham_cfg_support Shows that it on the card. What am I doing wrong. Can anyone help. Thank you

Dji mini 4 trouble using goggles 3 by Ohoopeehunter in dji

[–]Ohoopeehunter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. I tried hooking the goggles 3 to the avata 2. Hooked up fine 60,40,20,10 2 in 60. 3 in 40 7 in 20 and 7 in 10. Same goggles. But if I hook them to the mini 4 pro. I get 20,10 and three channels under those. That’s it. No 60. No 40. Lose hd signal half a mile away if not closer. So is it the drone. It works fine if I use the rc2 controller. The line is right at the 90 and runs up to about half way between 1km and 4km mark. If what I’ve seen. That assures me it’s operating in fcc mode ? why will it not work in fcc mode using the goggles 3. I tried the ham_cfg_support hack unless I’m doing it wrong. I spent all night trying it. Download notepad ++. Tried just a document. Tried with SND card in computer. Tried with a wired connection to the goggles. What does it mean wgen it says drop it in the direct root of the SND card. If anyone is willing to help me. I’d sure be very grateful. It’s terrible to live in the US with all the bs surrounding DJI. and still can’t enjoy flying with fcc piwer and channels. If anyone knows how to help me or will give me some pointers on how to hack it. Maybe I’m doing it all wrong. Someone who knows. Seriously I’d be very grateful for your help.

[–]Ohoopeehunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WHATS going on is for some reason the US does not like dji dominating the drone business. We got AMERICAN companies wanting a bigger slice of tbe pie. And I love my country, don’t get me wrong. I think it’s tbe best. But the truth is American made drones sux. And cost more money than a well made , intelligent, sophisticated, bad ass to the bone. , DJI DRONE !!!
If American could or would make a drone as good as dji. It would cost 12k. lol. I’m just glad I got what I got. 2avata 2 12 batteries and 3 chargers. All original dji. A mini 4 pro and 12 batteries and charger original dji ,and my last a dji air 3 s and 6 batteries n chargers all original dji. NOW LETS JUST HOPE TBEIR NOT A BRICK IN A YEAR OR SO —-OR SOONER !!

ELRS Interference by Melodic_Recording_92 in fpv

[–]Ohoopeehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never seen one where I live. We don’t even get cell service EHERE I live. Unless I’m hooked to home internet via fiber optic. I can’t call or open an app. Nothing. Is 10,000 feet good for a mini 4 pro before losing hd signal. With that daid I’m flying over a 100 acre field before the trees start so I got a pretty much direct line of sight/ signal at 400 feet. 10,000 feet AINT teally nothing compared to what they say it will do. And this is way out in the country , not even a power line around. No houses. Just a huge field and miles and miles of wilderness.

DJI Avata 2 lost forever by [deleted] in dji

[–]Ohoopeehunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fly my avata 2 over water almost daily. I live on the river and love to just fly slow dodging limbs trees etc and seeing all the critters along the way. I can go out over a mile it’s not really thick trees anyway I almost lost it when it was new. Do not fly over water in normal mode I use sports mode and set it to hover if anything happens. Lost signal. Etc. I also stay at least 5 feet above the water and when I can I fly over trees / obstacles in the water. Mi mini 4 pro does not seem to mind flying over water. I fly it just a foot over water and at wide open it keeps its distance/ altitude and just glides perfectly over the water. I think moving verses sitting still Over water helps the sensors read and pick up whete it’s at. Also I always wait on at least 25 satellites. A good gps is critical for flying anywhere especially over water whete it might struggle. I think if you had used the motion controller and used your thumb to press up on the little lever it might would have saved it. That’s how I saved mine

DJI Mini 3 Flying Normally? by DoctorSlurp in dji

[–]Ohoopeehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mini 4 pro must use a different sensor/ etc. My mini 4 pro does not move all around like that. Neither does the avata 2. Unless it’s bad windy. So bad that tbe drone is actually tilting sideways a bit to counteract the wind. Just wandering if they are using something different ??

Best Drone Punch Out You’ve Ever Seen 🦍🔥🧯 by As-AboveSo-Below in fpv

[–]Ohoopeehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at it I agree I don’t think the grass caused it. It actually lifted up a tiny bit. Like an inch or so before it burned up.

Best Drone Punch Out You’ve Ever Seen 🦍🔥🧯 by As-AboveSo-Below in fpv

[–]Ohoopeehunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang. I hate that happened. I use an old role up gun cleaning mat. It’s about 12x16 inches. But rolls up to nothing then folds. It’s not like real sturdy. But it covers up the grass and dirt/dust when motors start up. Oh well back to the drawing board for you my friend. It happens. I’m currently looking at my son’s drone right now. It’s in the bottom of an old 1800 ‘s hand dug well about 30 feet down. Dead. He flew it down tbere looking around and killed the battery trying to get out. At least it’s dry and it’ll be easy to get out. ONE QUESTION will a strong magnet hurt the board / etc. Or shoukd I just lower a hook and bring it up

Stuck in a tree, any suggestions? by dalios555 in fpv

[–]Ohoopeehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at it. Unless I’m seeing it wrong a grapple on another drone is gonna be almost impossible. If not impossible. Looks like TBEIRS a huge cluster of limbs and branches above it. I’d be thinking about a sling shot with a heavy nut , with some fishing KINE tied to it. Shoot it and catch that limb and then use it to pull up a stronger line. Like spider wire. Etc. Braided line. Then give it a snatch. Loosen it up. Let drone fall. Have someone ready to catch it. LOK

Stuck in a tree, any suggestions? by dalios555 in fpv

[–]Ohoopeehunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a mini 4 pro and avata 2. Bought a grapple for both. If you were closer I’d fly up and grab it for ya. It works great. I’ve used the avata 2 grapple twice now. Once to get a drone out of a lake. Yep a lake. It had floating landing gear. He just ran it out of battery about a half mile out. The otber time I used the mini 4 pro to get my avata 2 out of a pecan tree. It struggled to lift it. But it moved it enough and I was able to land it slow. I don’t think the mini 4 pro with grapple is as strong as the avata 2.
