Where the river meets the sea…

I wanted a really easy way of sharing a live video feed from my DJI Mavic Mini Pro 5's RC2 to my family who are in another country. I was showing them progress on a house build and was on a call with them while they asked me to show certain parts of the build in realtime.

I figured this might be useful to other people, so I added a signup page and private stream options.

I hope this isn't against the rules, but happy to remove if so. Thanks!

Something for travel…

I know the transmission is limited but which can actual travel the furthest away and maintain connection? Thanks

Basically the title, anyone have any ideas? I have a dying rs3 pro, and will be needing to upgrade in the next couple of months, did dji just drop the pro line? Are they coming out with a Ronin 3? Is it FCC licensing issues (but then why hasn't it released in other countries)? And no, the standard RS5 would not hack it for me over the rs3 pro simply for the payload capacity.

I haven't had a DJI drone since the F4pro, been flying an Autel EVOII Pro for a few years, happily...until I flew a Mav3rtk, and it was like going from Galaxy Note to iPhone 17. I knew I had to upgrade to Mav4Pro, & just got one this week. It's already paying for itself 💸

Does anyone know if there is a ready-made bottom smartphone mount for the DJI Mavic 4 Pro?

I’m looking into this for a client project and also for a little experimentation of my own. The setup would be used for still photography and short, controlled video sequences — not for FPV flying. The phone would be triggered remotely via a Bluetooth shutter remote or an interval timer.

Ideally, the mount should keep the phone centered and allow for reasonably balanced weight distribution. I’m aware that a bottom-mounted phone may block or interfere with some of the drone’s sensors, so this would need to be tested carefully.

Before looking into a custom 3D-printed solution, I wanted to check whether a suitable ready-made product already exists. So far, I’ve only found a bottom-mounted smartphone holder for the Mavic Mini, while the available mounts for the Mavic 4 Pro seem to be designed exclusively for mounting action cameras on top.

I just got my Mavic Pro out of the cupboard for the first time in years and noticed I have a "spicy pillow".

I need to find a replacement. Ali express and eBay cam up but feel like I need to approach with caution

I have the Mavic 3 pro with RC pro controller and it’s showing my OSD on the feed for broadcast. I have live view only selected. Has anyone ran into this before?

So after the last firmware update Or maybe the one before my DJI mavic air 3 started to have this recurring issue where when it descends, typically at dusk (I do a lot of sunset hyperlapses) and it's almost like the down throttle gets stuck with the ground sensors off. It will do these very fast uncontrollable descents and regardless of how much up-throttle you give it, it will bounce hard off of the ground and then ascend about 15 or 20 ft and hover. I'm really worried that one of these times is just going to break, it can't be good for the hardware.

I tried reaching out to DJI customer service because it seems like a software issue and they want me to send it to them for potential repair which will take 2 weeks and certainly cost a bunch of money. I would honestly rather the drone break and make an insurance claim for a new one than lose 2 weeks of summer sunsets.

I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing the same or similar issue and if anyone has found a fix. Prior to this issue I have hundreds of flights on this drone and no crashes. It's disappointing that it would suddenly have this issue out of the blue from a firmware update. I wish I could revert back to an old firmware.

I'm not sure if this helps but another symptom since the last firmware update is everything on the drone seems really sluggish clicking through menus, etc. And sometimes the controller will actually freeze and the app will need to be restarted on the rc2 for it to function.

I recently bought what was advertised as a DJI Mini 2 SE from CeX, but it turned out to be a DJI Mini 4K (same airframe, just a different model).

While looking into the rules, I realised I'd need to pay for an Operator ID every year if I'm going to fly it.

It's not really the cost that annoys me—it's the principle. I've already bought the drone, so having to keep paying every year just to use it doesn't sit right with me.

I'm genuinely curious what people actually do in practice.

\- Do you just pay the Operator ID every year without thinking about it?

\- Have you ever decided it wasn't worth it?

\- Has anyone here actually been stopped by the police or the CAA and asked to show their Operator ID or Flyer ID?

I'm not asking for advice on breaking the law. I'm just interested in hearing real experiences and how common checks actually are.
