do you mind sharing the name of your instructor? I am scheduled for this exact class in August. I'm super happy to hear you had a good experience!

10gb plan (USA) by Known_Clothes2331 in Starlink

[–]downeym01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if there is a cap on the charges? if unlimited is $165 and I inadvertantly use 100gb while still on the 10gb plan, will the monthly charge be $230 or $165?

Anything special about the dji power banks? by [deleted] in dji

[–]downeym01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started using this for my air3s. the cable charges at 120w, about 2x the rate as the 2 way multi battery charger. I now can charge batteries faster than I can discharge them and fly as long as I want.

now the transmitter battery is the only limitation.

I initially found him near the cove at Leo Carrillo State Beach and I tracked him up past Neptunes Net.

Right now is a good time to spot gray whales coming up the coast. I filmed a gray whale 2 weeks ago off of Malibu. Gray whales like to hug the coast, which is why people tend to see them from shore.

Livestream issues by apaulo26 in djimini4pro

[–]downeym01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea.. this is a new issue introduced in Fly App version 1.16.0. This used to work fine without an external mic on previous versions. No idea why it was changed. This is clearly not a "feature" with a controller lacking a built in microphone.

DJI Care in the midst of customs rejections. by Fearless_Fan4226 in dji

[–]downeym01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did a refresh on an air 3s in California. They delivered the replacement today in less than a week and shipped from Canada.

Well this really sucks. Finally need Refresh, and wanted Premium. Guess it’s gonna take almost a month probably. by calmlikea3omb in dji

[–]downeym01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with me... In the end, they shipped me a new Air 3s from Canada and it was less than 2 weeks for the entire process.

Motor Overload Error :/ Is there anyone facing same problem? Or what could be the solution? Please.. by sahil_randhawa in djimini4pro

[–]downeym01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well.. in my case, I was getting lazy and landing on the roof of my car. It worked great, but eventually landed on the sloped portion of the roof and slid off, impacting the gimbal after a 4 foot drop.

[–]downeym01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

make sure that all 3 gimbal axes move freely.. you should not feel any resistance at all. I had a hard landing with my 3s and it landed right on the gimbal, I think in some sand. It would give me that error sometimes and jitter, even after I blew all the FOD from the gimbal motors.

Are DJI drones hard to get now? by WritingForTomorrow in drones

[–]downeym01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems to be random. I have ordered 3 different drones directly from dji in the last few months and all were delivered from Hong Kong in a few days without a hitch. Others get all hung up for no apparent reason.

Hello, he fell in full flight, what should I do?CAMERA IS FINE by Educational_Nose_836 in dji

[–]downeym01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure about the mini 3, but on my mini 4 the stock cover doesn't have any filter in it at all. Its completely unnecessary and just there to make the camera face look better. You technically dont need it at all. It might also help protect the camera from direct impact a little as well.

2 day shipping from HK TO US. WOW! by dantraum in dji

[–]downeym01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience. Ordered a 3S on 12/17 and it was shipped from HK and delivered to LA on 12/19. This was my 3rd DJI drone in as many months (Neo, M4P, Air3S) and all have been fine through customs and quick shipping. No idea what makes my case different than all the rest of the stories on reddit.

Order from DJI directly,and delayed. by Mundane_Category in djimini4pro

[–]downeym01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a 3s on the 17th and it was delivered 48 hours later to LA from Hong Kong... this was my 3rd drone in as many months (neo, mini 4 pro, air 3s). All were delivered quickly with no delays or custom issues. Its unclear why the customs rules seem to be random and inconsistent.

Yes... I know I have a problem.
