    Real world range of Mavic Mini2 in UK/EU

    Incorrect. Everything is all up and working again. He has emailed all the affected people with a new link and can confirm its back working as it was before.

    Is there a bag or case that fits an iPad mini 2, along with the drone, controller, and iPad mini adapter all together?

    Can't beat Peak Design bags. I'm a bit of a bag freak and these are my go to manufacturer. The quality is incredible.

    Real world range of Mavic Mini2 in UK/EU

    If you install the FCC hack (if you have an iphone) the range is excellent. I think the guys name is Florin. Lots of users tests with videos. Appears to be the real deal

    Yagi range extenders ? Parabollic "mirrors" ? Really needed for Mini 2 in Europe

    If you use an Iphone you can install the FCC hack. There's a facebook group. Works really well.

    Mini 2 and Occusync

    I've got the Mini and Mini 2, the Mini 2 Occusync is far superior, Even better if you have an IOS and unlock the FCC (if you are in the UK). I don't push it but not even had a singles loss of signal message yet. Loss of 1 bar is probably the worst. I was always getting signal loss on my Mini 1

    Range Extending

    There's a Facebook group with the admin selling a version of the DJI app with the FCC hack embedded. There are lots of great reviews, in fact no negative. Also some good video evidence. Looks like it is doable and it does work.

    Best way to transport / carry?

    To keep with the small format of being the mini I went with the DJI Mavic Mini Bag https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B083YL73YP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Fits the contents of the Fly More Combo in a much smaller footprint. Thought it may not offer the protection it...

    What's Your Mavic Mini Experience?

    Only negatives for me with my mini over my pro are range and wind performance. Video quality and for what I need it for the mini does 90% of what my pro can do

    Mavic Mini as an aerial survey tool

    I've got the Pro and a recent purchase of the mini. To me the convenience and performance of the mini is so good i've not got my pro out since. I think it's great. No issues and as long as you are not stupid with the wind or range expectation (I never pushed either with my Pro) it does 90% of...

    LOST MY MAVIC MINI TODAY...I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED

    Check the Third Tab, the one with the arrow facing up. That gives wind speeds from ground to 5,000 ft.

    Lost my Mavic Mini

    All i can say is on your next flight. Download UAV forecast, don't try and fly it if there is anything other than a mild breeze. Keep it low, keep it in line of sight. This is the only way to get to practice. I didn't let me Mavic more than 200-300m from me for the first ten flights or so. It's...

    wind and the Mavic Mini an unexpected outcome

    I bought a Mavic Pro when they first came out. Absolutely loved it. On my last flight in July 2018 I took off from a sea wall and the Mavic spun (due to the metal supports in the concrete wall apparently) and crashed into the wall. I put it back in the cupboard until last Wednesday when a friend...

    How many times have you crashed your Mavic so far? (POLL)

    Had my first crash on Sunday. Been flying the Mavic 18 months not even a scratch. Went to a beach that has a sea wall. Set everything up and took off as normal. As I was climbing I noticed the mavic was yawing slightly to the right, not at great speed but enough to notice. Got a little higher...
