DJI Mini 3 Pro - How to Factory Reset (Step-by-Step Guide)

DJI Mini 3 Pro - How to Factory Reset (Step-by-Step Guide)

May 10, 2022, the day the Mini 3 Pro was launched and took the drone world by storm.



Whether a beginner, drone enthusiast, VLogger, or seasoned Pro, the Mini 3 Pro has something for everyone. It does a lot and does a lot correctly.

Although this might be the case, there are some who are looking to move on from the Mini 3 Pro, perhaps selling or gifting the unit.



Maybe they really want to get into FPV, especially with the DJI Avata out now, or they are looking to jump into a larger prosumer drone like the Mavic 3.



There might be some that are looking to get the Mini 3 Pro back to where it was when they initially purchased it, to flush out some bugs they might be experiencing.



Regardless of the reason, many are wondering if the Mini 3 Pro can be factory reset, and if so, how?



While the Mini 3 Pro drone cannot be factory reset, per se, the Mini 3 Pro and RC-N1 Remote Controller firmware can be rolled back using the DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series) software. On the other hand, the DJI RC Remote Controller can be factory reset, from within the preloaded DJI Fly software on the remote controller.



We will be discussing how to perform all of these rollbacks and resets for the Mini 3 Pro, RC-N1, and DJI RC.



DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drone Series)



In order to access either the Mini 3 Pro or RC-N1 controller for a firmware rollback, the DJI Assistant 2 software needs to be installed on your PC or Mac.



To do so, go to the Mini 3 Pros download center, located here.



On the downloads page, choose the correct version for the computer operating system you are working on, either Mac or Windows.





After you have downloaded the software, install it using the normal methods of installation for your computer type.



Now that the software is installed, we can go through the steps for each piece of equipment.



Mini 3 Pro Firmware



If your Mini 3 Pro has firmware that can be rolled back to a previous version, follow these steps:



STEP 1: Connect the USB-C cable that came with the Mini 3 Pro to your PC or Mac. Without connecting the Mini 3 Pro, open the DJI Assistant 2 software and log in to your DJI account.







STEP 2: There will be a screen showing that the Mini 3 Pro will then need to be connected. With the USB-C cable that came with the Mini 3 Pro, connect the drone to the computer via the USB-C cable.





STEP 3: After the Mini 3 Pro is connected, the DJI Assistant 2 software will recognize the drone. Press the DJI Mini 3 Pro icon on the Connected Devices screen.





STEP 4: On the Firmware Update tab, you will see a listing of Mini 3 Pro firmware versions. If you can downgrade to a previous version, the option will be highlighted in blue.



For my Mini 3 Pro (I know, it’s not on the newest firmware release), there are two upgrades available, a refresh and a Downgrade.



Choose the option that works for your particular situation.





RC-N1 Remote Controller Firmware



Like with the Mini 3 Pro firmware roll-back, the RC-N1 will need to be connected to the DJI Assistant 2 software.



STEP 1: Connect the USB-C cable that came with the Mini 3 Pro to your PC or Mac. Without connecting the Mini 3 Pro, open the DJI Assistant 2 software and log in to your DJI account (if you have not already done so prior).







STEP 2: There will be a screen showing that the RC-N1 Remote Controller will then need to be connected. With the USB-C cable that came with the Mini 3 Pro, connect the RC to the computer via the USB-C cable.

DJI Mini 2 Errors: What They Mean (And How to Fix Them) | Droneblog

Nothing brings a drone operator down quicker (pun intended) than bad weather and drone error codes.  We wait until it gets better with the weather, eventually, although our highly anticipated day of flying is ruined.  However, drone error codes can be more than simply waiting out the issue or hoping it resolves itself. Error codes and the inability to fly the DJI Mini 2 because of these errors can be a nuisance, but, when those codes are decoded, explained, and suggestions on how to fix the issue come to the fore, things get easier. We’ll be looking at a laundry list of DJI Mini 2 error codes, what they mean, and the steps to fix them.  The codes will be listed numerically to locate specific codes easier within the article. These codes are: Code 10001Code 10016Code 10022Code 10023Code 30007Code 30008Code 30047Code 30049Code 30050Code 30055Code 30060Code 30064 Code 30085Code 30105Code 30168Code 30210Code 30224Code 30226Code 40002Code 40011Code 40012Code 40021Code 180016Code 180030Code 1...

DJI Transmission System (Everything You Need to Know)

Image
An essential feature behind a DJI drone that is often overlooked is the drone transmission system. I have personally flown multiple DJI drones from different generations, and I can say – good heavens, what a difference! DJI drones usually have the OcuSync transmission system, which is unique and proprietary to DJI. The transmission module is installed on all DJI drones and cannot be upgraded or changed, but it comes in different versions. And the flight range, penetration, controller compatibility, and a few more factors depend on it. Here, I’ll share with you everything you need to know about the DJI transmission system, why it matters, the difference between them, and how we can identify one. Behind DJI OcuSync: Factors & Analysis A transmission system in a drone is one of the most critical parts without which a drone cannot fly at all. It simply cannot make a connection between a drone remote controller and the drone itself. In consumer DJI drones, we have the OcuSy...

Autel EVO 2 Pro: 3 Most-Common Problems (With Solutions) | Droneblog

Image
The Autel EVO 2 Pro drone is a very powerful drone with many features, but it does have a few drawbacks that I have found while using it. Despite the issues I have experienced, the Autel EVO 2 Pro is still a great drone that I would recommend to anyone looking for a foldable drone with a 20MP camera. While the Autel EVO 2 Pro is a strong drone model overall, there are a few areas of weakness. The controller, lack of accessories, and flight characteristics could use some work on Autel’s end to get this drone to the top of its class. Even with the problems I have experienced, there are still many ways to fly the EVO 2 Pro issue-free. Let’s take a closer look at some of the issues you might experience and ways to work around them to get the footage you’re looking for. 1. Autel EVO 2 controller issues As a professional drone operator, I have used a few different drone controllers and think the controller that comes with the EVO 2 Pro is just too small and not balanced properly. Let’s discu...
