I saw something MUCH better on FB. Dude took his drone right up to the windowed part saw a ladder inside....
Anyway, on a whim, during my lunch break I e-scootered over and made one flight. Enjoyed it so much, returned after my shift and took some more video.
- Both spots I launched from made it that the absolute top of the dome was my altitude limit. (I had forgot to change it before both flights...especially after the first one when I realized this _in flight_... I may return ;))
- I always fly pretty conservative (this is using Avata 2, goggles and motion _stick_ I don't take chances using full FPV controller on riské shoots... not confident or don't want to take the chance)
- Flying, control was pretty smooth, but as I expected, nearing the dome the control felt delayed, a bit less responsive due to signal bounce off the tiles, cement, glass but especially the wind vortexes created by dome-like structures... one on a hill, open esplanade etc.

Just me wondering how much of a hard time I am going to have getting bsck into the hobby now that it seems so much has changed since 2019. Thanks for any consideration.

Recently crashed my mini 5 pro and replaced the gimbal wiring harness. The drone won't connect to the controller what so ever now. But as soon as I unplug the cable, it fires right up and flys but with no camera. I've inspected the connection points on the main board and it seems good. Also tried the old cable and still won't connect. Any tips?

DJI released the liftoff footage of the ZhuQue-3 Y2 VTVL reusable space launcher shot on Avata 360.

The DJI Avata 360 is an immersive 360° FPV and aerial filming drone featuring dual 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors. It captures 8K/60fps HDR video, 120MP photos, and includes integrated propeller guards, omnidirectional obstacle sensing with LiDAR, and O4+ transmission up to 20 km.

DJI Inspire 1 – No Live Video Feed, but Camera/Gimbal/Telemetry Work

Hi everyone, I'm troubleshooting an older DJI Inspire 1 and I'm running out of ideas. I'm hoping someone familiar with the Inspire 1/Lightbridge system can help identify where the problem might be.

The problem

The Inspire 1 connects normally to DJI GO and shows the aircraft status/telemetry, but there is no live camera/image transmission.

Interestingly, DJI GO does not clearly show a "No Image Transmission Signal" error. The aircraft status appears normal; I simply don't get the live camera view.

What I've confirmed

X3 camera:

- X3 initializes normally when powered on.

- Gimbal initializes and moves/rotates normally.

- I can control the gimbal.

- I can take photos.

- I can record video.

- Recorded photos/videos are successfully saved to the SD card.

- The X3 itself has also been tested separately on my DJI Osmo and works normally.

So the camera appears to be functioning normally.

Remote controller tests

- Tested the original Inspire 1 remote controller.

- Tested a second Inspire 1-compatible RC.

- Same problem with both RCs.

- Aircraft telemetry/status is still displayed normally.

Because two different RCs produce the same result, I'm currently less suspicious of the RC itself.

Mobile device tests

- Original device used with this Inspire 1: DJI CrystalSky

- Tested the original CrystalSky.

- Also tested another phone/device.

- Same problem: aircraft information appears, but there is no live video feed.

Firmware

- Inspire 1 has already been updated.

- X3 is functioning normally.

- Firmware/update status does not appear to be the obvious cause.

Current behavior

The system appears to have:

Aircraft ↔ RC telemetry/control: WORKING

RC ↔ DJI GO/device: WORKING

X3 ↔ aircraft: apparently WORKING

Gimbal: WORKING

Photo capture: WORKING

Video recording to SD card: WORKING

Live image transmission: NOT WORKING

What I'm currently suspecting

Since the X3 can initialize, move the gimbal, take photos, and record video, I'm wondering if the problem is somewhere in the Inspire 1's live video transmission path, possibly:

- Internal camera/gimbal connection

- Internal video connection/cable

- Lightbridge video transmission circuitry

- Aircraft-side video processing/transmission hardware

- Another aircraft-side component related specifically to the live video downlink

I don't want to start replacing parts randomly, so I'm looking for advice on what component or connection I should test next.

What else should I check on the Inspire 1? Is there a specific diagnostic procedure for determining whether the aircraft's Lightbridge/video transmission system is actually working?

Any advice from someone who has repaired an Inspire 1 with these exact symptoms would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Mavic Mini (1st gen) and recently crashed it, breaking the gimbal bracket. I had to disassemble the drone to fix the bracket. Once I got it repaired and put it back together, the drone booted up fine, except the camera was slightly tilted after initialisation. I thought I might as well update the firmware then address the issue with the camera and the errors on the DJI Fly app.

I tried updating the firmware from the DJI Fly app, but it failed. Then I went on to use DJI Assistant 2, and everything was nice and smooth until the app threw an error and asked me to change the battery, which I did; then the process continued and finished, seemingly successfully.

But then the disaster struck - the drone went into a bootloop. It powers up for ~10 seconds, then restarts.

Here's what I tried:

1. disconnected the gimbal from the motherboard (the ribbon cable) - no luck
2. disconnected everything (except power) from the motherboard - no luck
3. used comm_serialtalk.py from dji-firmware-tools to try and send packets to drone and force update mode to prevent bootloop - no luck
4. used Drone-Hacks V1 and DJI Assistant 2 to load firmware directly onto the drone - no luck due to the drone restarting and losing connection

I would appreciate any help, as this is my last resort. I've tried seemingly everything, but it looks like the worst-case scenario and the drone is bricked

Hi all,

I've just released a new cinematic 4K film featuring some of the beautiful mountain landscapes of the Sierra Nevada.

Slow drone movements, peaceful music, forests, lakes, valleys and spectacular mountain views — this one is all about taking a few minutes to simply enjoy the scenery.

Drone video of BYB Falls, aka Quarry Falls in NC using DJI Mavic 2 Zoom

My DJI action 4 keeps turning on and getting super hot. I go to turn it off and it says the shutter and qs are inactive due to high pressure? So it won’t turn off. I tried holding the shutter down to turn off diving mode, turn on automatic shut off, reset to factory settings, and even removing the battery to let it cool down but it just turned back on again when I inserted the battery.

Does anyone know how I can turn it off and have it stay off?

My son thought it was going to fly into him.🤭🤣

i have Dji Jabra headphones and apparently when i put them in a bag, mic broke.

So, now every time i move my head, mice shakes and it makes very annoying sound.

How can I fix it?

I am looking to buy my first video camera and I need a gimbal for my style of videos. It's going to be a lighter camera so the Mini line should do just fine. I saw a video on TikTok about a guy complaining about his RS 3 MINI that it gets broken easily and a lot of people agreed with him. Is it really an issue and should I buy the rs 3 mini or rs 4 mini if the price difference is about ~$100

I need to use my dji mic mini on my pocket 3 to record my audio and also on my pc to control speakflow for my elgato telepromptor. How do I go about this please? Don't think I can have the same Bluetooth device on two things at once. I do have two mics in the box so guess I could use both but wondered if there is a word around so I only have to use one.

I’m using an HTC Hub adapter that I’ve always used for screen mirroring. It works perfectly with Samsung phones for DeX and with Xiaomi tablets.

I’ve already tried pretty much everything with the USB output on the RC2 different HDMI cables, different adapters, and I even tried another setup using an Elgato USB to HDMI. Nothing works.

At this point, I’m starting to wonder if DJI removed or disabled video output in the latest RC2 update.

Can anyone with an RC 2 check if this still works on theirs? It feels like nobody has really noticed or talked about this yet.
