A Choppy Start to the day.....


A windy start would have made for a bumpy sail.



Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

Displays the riffling effect of the wind on the water very nicely.

I was right on the last legs of the battery for this, and just as I was composing a couple I used to see a lot turned up for a chat.     Time to retire the battery though,  509 charge cycles and it's now throwing power warnings at 33%.    Sad but at least Ive got the cycle cost down 25p

That would be one of the early Mini3Pro batteries, I guess?

Not the originals,  this one is a plus battery that came a little later. All my normal batteries got replaced around the 180 charge mark for cracked clips.

One of the replaced standard batteries is over 200 now and it throws a lovely warning.   But it's also going strong so until it plays up Im not retiring it.

I'm hoping mine will be OK for some time to come - but then my flight time/distance is only a fraction of yours.

What a great shot.    Ripples in the water makes for a nice effect.

I have been very careful of the clips on my M3P batteries to try to extend their life before breaking. Poor design on DJI's part

DJI have been very good at replacing mine, even with them near the 200 charge limit.   But the plus batteries are not sold here so they wont provide warranty for them.

With the drone on,  press the three dots top right and under safety tab near the bottom theres battery information, that will tell you the charge cycles they have.

It's my pleasure DA.  The Mini 3 Pro is still a great little performer.  I'm kind of glad I skipped the Mini 4 Por and the 3 Pro does all I need.  If the wind kicks up too much I just get out the big brother air 3 and send it up.

In fact that is the drone I had up today when I caught two hunter's trespassing on my property and hunting for deer.  I got clear pictures of them and they were arrested within 2 hours.  As this is their 2nd offense they are going to have their expensive hunting rifles permanently confiscated.  The law enforcement officer thanked me for the footage and said this will be the easiest case ever to prove in court.  I told him I was willing to testify and he said it would not be needed as the footage caught then red handed.

Are you thinking about upgrading to the Air3S?   Looks good,  and great for low light trespass hunting.

The fact the Air3S has Lidar really peeked my interest but I'm not quite ready to push the buy button.  Ian's video really had me thinking hard about it.

I think for people that still have the Air2S its a much bigger jump.   Looks like a great all round drone.

I would have to get rid of something in my hangar and I'm not quite ready to part with anything.  I still fly my Air 2S along with the Air 3 and Mini 3 Pro.  Although I could pass the Air 3 to the grandson and buy the Air 3S as its replacement.  Hmmm...

You'll have time to decide now that customs are blocking DJI items coming in from China.

I saw that on the news and also on a couple of videos.  I'm just glad I didn't order one that could be stuck in Customs for months.  I think DJI anticipated something like this happening because they delayed releasing the NEO for USA purchase by weeks and didn't pre-ship any Air 3S drones to retailers here like they have for previously released drones.  This will just continue to be an ongoing saga with DJI I'm afraid.

I saw Dobo seemed to think the Miami border force were being more strict with it than other places.

That would be really interesting since most of the DJI drones enter the USA from a west coast port.
