    Flip Comparisons to NEO for Cold Weather Flying

    I don’t have a Flip so I am only speculating. I think it would be the same as with other drones - it’s only an issue if you have below freezing temperatures in moist air like fog or over water that hasn’t frozen yet. I have had ice form on the underside of my Mavic 3 props in this exact...

    Flip Comparisons to NEO for Cold Weather Flying

    Thanks for the tip. I fly my drones year round and am very familiar with cold weather flying - have been doing it for years. I have flown all of my drones well below the rated temperatures without any problems as long as I take precautions like keeping batteries warm before flight, keeping...

    Flying over water?

    I think the key here is to make sure that if you fly over water, you use a controller to reduce the chance of signal loss and have access to RTH. Chris

    From MAVIC 3 Pro to Flip ... Hello from Utah

    Sorry to hear about the car accident. Glad everyone is ok and that out of the kindness of your family she got another car. The NEO is a great low cost drone. Maybe you might be able to get a refurbished one for your grandson. All the best. Chris

    From MAVIC 3 Pro to Flip ... Hello from Utah

    Welcome to the forum! I don’t have a Flip but do have a NEO which has similar features. The Flip is quite a downgrade from a Mavic 3 Pro. Enjoy the Flip. Chris

    Video download issue, please help!

    Check to see if your video is set to save in H265 or H264 in DJI Fly settings on the drone. The H264 codec is more compatible with a wider range of video players. Welcome to the forum. Chris

    HELP - Brand new Flip issues

    Did you get your RC-N3 controller fixed? How do you like your new Flip? Chris

    HELP - Brand new Flip issues

    That sounds like you have a defective RC-N3 controller. On my RC-N3 controller which I use with my NEO the gimbal wheel definitely springs back. DJI should get you sorted out quickly. In the meantime you can control your Flip with your cell phone but you will be limited in range to a max of 50m...

    Thank You.

    Not sure what package you won, but if it’s the basic package with the drone and the RC-N3 controller you will likely want at least another battery and a charging hub. When you get the drone try out some of the features and see what it can do and can't do. There are reports that it moves around...

    Thank You.

    I think you will find that your new Flip will complement your Mini 2 SE. As you already know the Flip has some unique features that your Mini 2 doesn’t. Post some photos/ videos too. Enjoy and congrats! Chris
