Ehm, I am wondering about something.  could be a typo, but could also be the trouble wit FCC drones sold in Ce/Europe?

DJI says, there are 2 models:

Good catch! Never noticed that "R" until you pointed out. Maybe it is a typo as you said?

Thanks, I missed that one.

Needs DJI, to clear that up.
So.... we wait! ;-)

I think I give it back.....

"R" means Receiver.... So the aircraft
"T" means Transmitter... So the controller

So I contacted DJI support about this today - this was their response...

Upon checking your concern, please check the serial number of the first three digit is "1T2" for remote controller and "1SZ" then it is FCC version but if the first digit is "1WH" for remote controller and  "1WG" for the aircraft then it is CE version. I hope that answered your concern.

In my case, the serial number on the mini does indeed start "1WG", so this all implies that I do have a CE model and the lack of a 2.4ghz option & the message on connection are both just software issues that should be fixed....the serial that it shown in DJI fly is actually different, but it doesn't start 1SZ so it's probably normal (I assume the stickered serial is the whole unit, and the one the app reports is just the aircraft without gimble etc.

I'll update the thread if I hear back.  

Does anyone else reading this thread have a CE version that actually shows up as such when you connect it to your phone?

I did reply back to DJI to ask about this specifically, but unsurprisingly I have not heard back yet

right, so I figured it out

It is a CE model, it's just a firmware bug that shows the wrong ID when you connect.

To swap to 2.4ghz, you  just tap one of the 2 digit channels....i.e. all the red ones if you are indoors ;)  There isn't a switch between 2.4 and 5.8, its been over simplified so you don't notice ;)

Feel a bit silly now, but hey at least mystery solved for me

I have same problem but i must check the  serial  .....
So how did the fix your problem?
Did you sent it back ?
Or did you become some software ?

So my one is sta starting with  1WF the controller and the Mini with 1SCC
What does this mean?
DJI???

Another partner has tried an FCC in Europe and has not been able to pass 500 meters, when in South America in the same circumstances he could reach 1,500 meters (city with large buildings)

Just two peoples with that issues???

es un FCC  europeo , de baja potencia , nada que ver con el modo (FCC) uSA , SOLO HAY QUE VER LA BANDA DE 2,4 gHZ para saber si estas en CE ó FCC , si aparecen 13 canales en la banda de 2,4 gHZ estarias en CE , en cambio si hay 11 , estarias en FCC , yo lo checkeo así en mi Phantom 3 SE y Mavic Pro,

La diferencia es brutal , con pahtom 3 se no alcanzaba mas de 700 ,con un monton de problemas de perdida de señal ... en FCC (11 canales) me llevo el dron hasta que pierde la señal y  vuelve solo a casa, unos 5 Kilometros , Salu2

When you say your mini serial starts wth 1SCC - are you reading that number from the app or from the little sticker inside the battery cover?

The one the app reports is wrong (for this purpose)..definitely check the sticker on the mini itself.

I didnt do anything to fix it - it was never broken, its just the firmware identifies the mini as the FCC even though its really a CE.

Go to your radio tab in DJI Fly,change channel mode to Manual and then tap on any of the 2 digit channels e.g. 09 (its likely a big red one...) and you will then see the band switch to 2.4ghz

Ah I see, thank you!

It's  serial number of the app  not on the  drone inside....
Outside of the controller it's  start WH

nik1975 Posted at 11-14 01:28

That means you have a CE model.  Try clicking on one of the single or two digit channels....it should work

Hola Nebuchadnezzar, a que te refieres con "es un FCC  europeo , de baja potencia,"?
Si compras un modelo FCC para usar en Europa, viene capado pues y ser'ia mejor la versión CE?

eso es lo que se debate , y esperando pruebas , ya veremos que version alcanza mas , yo creo que la Fcc alcanzará más , aunque te enfrentas a temas legales usando esa potencia aqui ......

Ya, comprendo.
Se me escapa un poco el tema de las diferentes frecuencias aunque mas o menos comprendo que es un tema legal, de señales con menor potencia y de ahi el menor rango.
Lo que pensaba la señal en Europa era de menor rango pero mayor potencia.

Como podras observar, la potencia en CE  , ES UNA PU...  mierda hablando en plata y pronto

Wow eso clarifica mucho la verdad. Gracias!
Y esos son los valores legales? o los podrán incrementar mediante software?
Si decian que llega a 2Km en europa, debería ser así no?

Antes se podia via software , en este caso no se podrá

hay que esperar test por parte de europeos que nos digan que ocurre en cada version

Perfecto grtacias por la info!

"R" means Receiver.... So the aircraft
"T" means Transmitter... So the controller

Of course, the app  connects to the RC, not to the bird.
But: Could be mentioned, somewhere, right?

The Channel display looks same for me.
But in the USB Connection Dialog no Model number is shown for me.
My Serials are both for CE Version.
Also i have not the feeling that the Output power is 1W ! I get signal problems when i fly 150m side of me and there are some trees between the drone and me (i see it anyway )

S-e-ven Posted at 11-11 07:20
Switzerland isn't part of the EU, isn't it?
Perhaps that is, why nik1975 got a FCC Mavic Mini?

From what I understand, Switzerland formerly withdrew their application to join teh European Union in 2016. If that holds true, then anyone ordering a drone living in Switzerland should get the FCC version. I could be wrong though, but seems that is what I remember anyway.

Se puede poner en fcc el CE del mini , pero en 2.4 apenas tienen beneficio, el 5.8 si que gana practicamente el doble de alcance.

yo de momento no me interesa el alcanze ... este dron es muy muy versatil en cortas distancias Salu2

Nunca antes habia filmado asi :

Puedo asegurar algo , mi prespectiva de uso ha cambiado radical desde hace una semana que uso esta maravilla ....

Antes solo salia al campo a hacer vuelos  (por respetar las leyes)  , ahora puedo en campo cecano jejej

Could you please post some pictures of the Mavic Mini and the controller showing their labels? No need to show the serial number, just the CE and/or FCC and the model number. This will help a lot!

Nebuchadnezzar Posted at 11-27 23:11

Sin duda muy comodo por su tamaño tambien.

nik1975 Posted at 2019-11-12 01:20
The problem is that you have in Europe the 5.8 ce signal and not the 5.8 fcc signal..... that's the point.
So every one who like to buy some drone from US or anything else outside of EU you got the same problem..... so don't do it..... it doesn't work

Not a problem according to the new gps trick that seems to unlock the full 1mw (4km) range, which would allow not only for longer distances but hopefully more stable connections.

Have you tried this?

Everyone is waiting to see if we can possible unlock a CE remote to FCC, thus if the gps trick is working for you it would be proof that FCC firmware could possibly work on a CE remote and unlock full power via the trick.

Please please kindly try it out. So many people probably contemplating on purchasing a CE drone for that reason.

I only saw the post now about the difference in MM motherboard difference in MM motherboard, thus it confirmed it's not just a matter of the remote's firmware and therefore due to the lack of hardware in the CE drone's motherboard it won't be possible
https://forum.dji.com/thread-202990-1-1.html

Hi all, I have a "1T2" MR1SS5 FCC model, but I don't have channel 165 in the list. Do you have an idea why?

nik1975 Posted at 2019-11-11 00:31
Crazy....

This is showing the 2.4ghz channels.  The FCC Model doesn't support 2.4 on 5.8.

nik1975 Posted at 2019-11-11 05:32
No worries Mindy,
I dont like to change it .... its ok for me.
