What are the other options?

I just got my first drone, and I'm loving it!

hey guys, is there any way to control a DJI Osmo Action 4 using a smartphone? For example, using the DJI Mimo app to press a button and have the camera turn on and start recording, and then press another button on the phone to stop recording/turn the camera off?
Also, would it be possible to leave the camera positioned somewhere and use the phone as a remote control to take photos or start recording?
Has anyone done this or knows if it's possible?

If this is possible, how do I do it? Is there a specific setting or feature in the DJI Mimo app that allows this?

I bought a Flywoo Nano baby BNF-DJI. I thought it was elrs, but couldn’t get it to bind either via WiFi or the usual. So then I noticed that maybe I mistakenly bought the DJI platform and got a DJI RC 3. I got the screen with the RC info, but can’t get the controller to work. How do I do this? Help!

I found an old thread on here about DJI doing a firmware upgrade and that causing the 5g modules on the mini 2 se drones to overheat?

Just wondering if DJI have acknowledged this happened?
To cut a long story short, my eldest son bought the drone and stopped using it for many months, he passed it onto his younger brother and after doing the firmware updates, it started dropping connections on dual band. Switching to 2.4g signal each time resolves it. His brother never had this issue before the firmware.
I am wondering if it worth logging it with DJI, it’s out of warranty.

Yeah no warranty for us I know but I have one on its way! Gonna make filming so much more fun. And an upgrade from the pocket 3. My buddy who I make films with is getting mg Pocket 3. So itl be good to have 3 dji cameras. One pocket 3, one pocket 4p and a mini 4 drone. Ahhh color grading ect and continuity when it comes to footage will be great.

Sucks the us decided no but eh it is what it is. Im getting one :)

Any other items besides ND Filters I should look into investing into thia camera?

Hi. I just bought a DJI mobile receiver to accompany a Mic Mini 2 and, even though I didn't buy it for this reason, I figured I could also use it with my Insta360 X3. I do use the Mic Mini 2 with the X3 via Bluetooth to cut down on wind noise while I'm skating, but wondered about plugging the mobile receiver into the X3 to get full quality audio. Does anyone know how obviously it appears in videos with X3 cameras? And if the jump in audio quality is worth it?

Cheers.

Hello everyone, and hello to the DJI community administrators.

I am writing this post to express my deep frustration with the rigid, insensitive, and utterly tone-deaf conduct enforced by DJI’s customer service policies, which create impassable automatic barriers even when dealing with extreme, sensitive, and deeply delicate cases.

Here are the facts:

A few months ago, the tenant living in my apartment, Mr. E***** B*****, unfortunately passed away. Before his departure, he signed an official, binding legal agreement releasing the apartment and, consequently, all personal property left inside it to me—including his DJI Mini 2. Under Italian property law, the physical possession of a non-registered movable asset, combined with legal documentation tracing its origin, constitutes undisputed proof of legitimate ownership. I am now the sole and rightful legal owner of this drone.

However, the drone is currently bound via Account Binding to the deceased owner’s profile ([r******@gmail.com](mailto:robbar51@gmail.com)). Since he has passed away, there is absolutely no way to access his account directly or request a password reset through his devices—neither for me nor for his relatives (whom I would never dream of disturbing for such a trivial matter during their time of grief).

As soon as I became aware of DJI's anti-theft system (a measure I completely respect and agree with in normal circumstances), I contacted DJI Support under Ticket 10391284, confidently providing:

1. The signed legal agreement releasing the property and its contents.
2. The exact credentials linked to the deceased (email, as well as his Italian and US T-Mobile phone numbers).
3. Clear photos of the drone and its serial number (3Q4CHBE3B39EKT).
4. Full availability to provide his official death certificate, confirming he passed away on March 19, 2026, due to a malignant neoplasm of the descending colon, treated in vain with a stoma.

Given that the original owner passed away after a long, painful, and agonizing medical battle, the first shocking response I received from DJI Support (agent AJ) was a generic script:
"We cannot directly unbind the device from an account without explicit authorization from the original account holder. This security measure is in place to prevent unauthorized transfers and safeguard everyone's equipment."

The second response was even more inappropriate and morally unacceptable to me:
"Unfortunately, the previous owner's heir will need to contact us directly for verification. We recommend that family members access their email account and send us an unbinding request from that email address."

These requests are a Kafkaesque nightmare. The first is a physical impossibility. The second is an incredibly insensitive, invasive, and inappropriate demand to place upon a family that has just been devastated by a tragic loss after such a brutal illness.

While I fully support the fight against theft and illegal appropriation, DJI's stubborn refusal to recognize the exceptional nature of this case goes far beyond security. By hiding behind automated scripts and refusing to manually unbind a legally acquired asset, DJI is actively preventing the free use of private property.

I am objectively the legitimate owner of this asset. I am publicly asking for a human being—a supervisor or a senior administrator—to step in personally, look at the legal documents attached to my ticket, and handle this case with a shred of common sense.

Please escalate Ticket 10391284 to a senior manager who possesses a minimum of human empathy.

Thank you

Just got the mini 3 and trying to charge the RC controller. I plug it into the wall and nothing happens and it doesnt charge. With the red light I can’t move the joysticks. Why isn’t the controller charging?

Hi everyone…. Which DJI Drone for running content? And show me some footage if you have. Thanks

I’m recording some video materials. I need to record one person speaking, and my budget is fairly limited.

I’m considering using an iPhone 16 + DJI Mic Mini 2. The recording will be done in a relatively quiet room, although it faces a street and there can occasionally be some wind/traffic noise.

I did a first test using only the iPhone’s built-in microphone, with the phone about 0.5 m from the speaker. The result wasn’t great — the background noise was quite noticeable and the speaker’s voice was relatively quiet. I tried to fix it in Premiere Pro, but the voice started to sound unnatural, especially after changing the speech speed.

So I’d like to ask:

• Is iPhone 16 + DJI Mic Mini 2 a reasonable setup for this?
• Should I place the microphone much closer to the speaker?
• Would you recommend any other budget-friendly setup?

The video quality doesn’t need to be professional — I mainly need clear, natural-sounding speech, including after changing the playback speed.

I’ve heard that the iPhone 16 Camera app doesn’t work with the DJI Mic Mini 2. Is this true? If you’re using this setup, how do you get it to record the mic audio?

Thanks!

I'm looking to order a Mavic 4 Pro fly more combo. I know there is a rule in this subreddit against buying and selling. Those of you that have ordered on eBay, can you recommend if it's better off to order one that's in the US or one that needs to be imported?

TIA

Went to a local pawn shop and they had listed to $200, somehow I managed to get him down to $100. Was this a good deal? Any of you guys that have/had one any tips and tricks? I’ve been on YouTube and watching plenty of videos but want more of user input. Sometimes I feel like the YouTube guys aren’t too honest about it. I’ve bought a handle and portrait mount (I know lens sag but mainly shoot portrait.) came with a tons of extras like the raven eye, quick release, cables galore, focus ring. I feel like I gotta pretty deal😅😅

It’s definitely overkill on my camera since I do have a canon r50v with a sigma 30mm 1.4 art lens on it. Mainly wanting to shoot primes for the moment, looking at getting a 16mm here soon.

Any input would be great, thank you!

Hey guys, I've been in Taiwan visiting family for the past 4 months since the beginning of May and I brought my DJI flip with me. Since I've left the whole issue with the government banning DJI drones sales in the US and potentially even previously sold models as well. I'm flying back to the states on Saturday and I am wondering if it will be safe for me to bring my Flip back with me or are they going to force me to throw it away at customs?

Is this worth buying used or is less risky buying brand new?

Taken on 8/29 with a Mini Pro 4

We are doing a shoot where we want to follow a car driving at high speed on a road with a lot of turns and bumps through the fields. We are filming this using the Tilta Hydra Alien Pro Car Mounting System, with a DJI RS3 Pro mounted on it and a Blackmagic PYXIS attached to the gimbal.

After doing a lot of testing, we found that the camera works best when mounted in the position shown in the photo. However, when taking some of the tighter corners, the gimbal has a very hard time keeping up and rotating with the turn through our remote-control system.

We assume that the wind resistance during the sharper turns is causing the gimbal to struggle to rotate back into the turn. We were wondering if anyone has any tips or experience with this kind of setup.

We were also thinking that it might be better to try filming with a Ronin 2 instead, but we are not sure whether that would work with the adapter/mounting piece shown in the second photo.

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

I had just got my brand new mini 5 pro off of Adorama and like 2 months in I crashed it indirectly into a brick wall on sports mode. Now, when I boot it up, the camera spins continuously and doesn’t stop. I still get a live camera feed and the propellers and stuff still wok, I just can’t take off since the drone doesn’t pass the pre check.
I was wondering what repair options I have in the us and how big of a repair this is.

I’m looking for a DJI camera for vlogging/documenting growing a business. I want to post longer videos on YouTube (landscape), but also use the same footage for TikTok, Reels and Shorts (portrait).

Ideally I want to film everything once and be able to crop/reframe it for both formats without losing too much quality or having to reshoot.

Which DJI camera would be best for this — Pocket 3, Action 5/6, or something else?

I recently drove from Canada into the US through the Peace Arch border crossing with my family. I had a DJI Lito X1 with me (worth roughly $300).
The CBP officer told me that the drone could not be admitted into the US because of “Xinjiang” / UFLPA concerns. I was told that I would need to take it back to Canada.
Since it was late at night and I was traveling with my family, I didn’t want to spend hours dealing with the situation, so I ultimately abandoned/disposed of the drone. I feel very sad as it is very nice product, an I have to dispose it before any use.
What I’m trying to understand now is why the Lito X1 would be subject to UFLPA restrictions.
As far as I can tell, DJI itself is not on the UFLPA Entity List. I also haven’t been able to find anything publicly indicating that the Lito X1, its battery (BWXGP1-2788-7.0), or a specific component is associated with a Xinjiang entity.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with DJI products at a US border crossing?
I’d especially appreciate it if someone familiar with UFLPA/CBP could explain whether this is:
A specific restriction on DJI/Lito X1,
A concern about a particular component or supplier, or
CBP making an individual determination about the specific shipment/item.
I’m not looking to blame the individual CBP officer or seek compensation. I’m just trying to understand what rule was actually being applied here.

Has anyone experienced this? I ordered a Air 3S FMC directly from DJI. On checkout, it said the shipping is estimated to be the same day, however on order details, becuase the free gift, a backpack pro is out of stock (you can't remove it) the estimated shipping date is now at the end of the month.

Is this normal or a glitch?! The whole order getting delayed for a whole month becuase a free gift, a damn backpack is missing is crazy.
