Yes,  you could say that,    I cant say hiding as bright orange does stand out,

Not exactly camouflaged, is it

Only if it was in a field with 100 hundred others.  

Nice top down!

Very nice top down DA.    Must not have been there very long as the tracks behind the digger look fairly fresh.

Not sure DT,    It was in a spot Ive not flown for a while.  Not since the harvest last year I think.

You're welcome!

Ahh, always good to get back to spots you haven't been to in a while.  

Any news on the Mini 3 Pro replacement yet?

It was shipped (cough on Friday) but of course UPS haven't collected it yet.

Undoubtedly sat in DJI's repair warehouse over the weekend.  So if it gets collected today by UPS maybe Wednesday?

If past deliveries are to be a guide,  I wont know until about 9:30pm if they collected it today, and then it will go north for a day and then come back on Wednesday.  Sadly as Im paying for shipping I would have preferred better.

With UPS it seems you never get what you pay for.  At least that has been my experience with them.

Maybe you'll luck out and get it tomorrow.  

Nice one although some artistic color editing would helped.

I won’t hold my breath on that although they certainly cost more than the repair.

Feel free to post an example of what you mean.

Well. you probably guessed it,   it went north and has been delayed by severe weather.

No luck today,  maybe tomorrow.......

You can always hope for the best but expect the UPS  norm and you want be disappointed.

DAFlys Posted at 3-14 00:17

That's a dang shame, but it really doesn't surprise me.  Hopefully, you'll get in tomorrow now and not Thursday.

Fingers crossed for you.

I was disappointed sadly. .

Mr B checked the weather up there,   their severe weather is light rain on the forecast.

Fingers crossed for that,   it does feel liker Deja Vu all over again.

I'm sure you were.  Sad, that UPS can't be more efficient.

You surely can’t blame them for severe weather or accidents

Doesn't sound severe to me but sounds more like a lame excuse by UPS for being delayed.

Well.  Light rain is terrible.  In future I may use that excuse too.

Seems like UPS has a pattern developing.

If in fact it was a true emergency then no I can't blame them. Hopefully, they do get it to you tomorrow then.

The sad thing is DJI seems to only use UPS.  At least that is my experience here.  Even Skydio let me opt to use FEDEX over UPS for accessory shipment.

Well it reached the local depot this morning,  so fingers crossed it made it there in time to be out today.

There is definitely a pattern,  this delivery has been easily predicted.

Probably by the time you read this reply you will have it in hand.
