Hi Guys. Just a quick intro… I’ve been given a DJI Mini 3 drone, as the owner has medical issues and wouldn’t get to use it and thought of me ..YAY!
I have set it all up ready with updates etc I’ve completed the flyer ID paid my operation ID
so all set to go, however , some questions still haunt me !! As I never received the mini 3 in it’s original box I can’t confirm weather its a C1/2/3 and cometh the new rules etc will I need to install a remote module (putting it above the 250gm limit) or will it be a firmware upgrade? or not able to use it at all!! :face_with_hand_over_mouth: thanks for your patience… probably have some more questions :smirking_face:
