    Last picture of My Mavic Mini

    As the title states, this is the last picture of my Mavic mini. A friggin goose attacked it while I was pulling off the most epic sundown-reflection b-roll shot ever, over the surface of Mammoth Lake. I was about 15ft from the surface of the water and I was so close to recovering it but the...

    Mavic mini wishes it was an fpv racedrone ?

    Yes I have sir. Numerous times. I tried every calibration, auto and manual. I run out of numbers before I can get the gimbal calibrated correctly when I am doing a manual adjust. For some reason the yaw is way off and it acts as if it has a bad compass and Imu, when I do any turn that has slight...

    Mavic mini wishes it was an fpv racedrone ?

    Sadly after the gimbal replacement, I’m getting error 400021 I think... the gimbal will NOT level no matter what I do. It’s absolutely awful to fly, only thing it can do is take stills or video if I’m moving about 1mph or less. Shame. Probably 3 clicks for dji to fix. Id rather shoot myself in...

    My first drone video - Mavic Mini

    I have super glued Max’s broken front arms so many times lol. Just replaced the gimbal for $100 then find a supplier that has drone only deals for $250. Error code 40021 ? still flies and records fine though. The fpv habit is going to be expensive though ? so worth it. First time I’ve felt happy...

    Mavic mini wishes it was an fpv racedrone ?

    My first Mavic mini video! NO PROP GUARDS! Much more to come in the future, I’ll have a real fpv race kwad in about a week, I’m so excited. I crash way too much trying to do things the mini isn’t made for, but I love my mini so much. Far more than my phantom 3! Although after the most recent...

    My first drone video - Mavic Mini

    I have crashed so much, trying to fly my Mavic mini (His name is Max) like an fpv race drone. As of last night, I’m the proud awaiter of all my parts for my first fpv build! I tend to fly and edit a bit different, I generally use premiere but I have found the dji fly app to have a great built-in...

    Total loss of control - started gaining altitude and ended up going 14000ft+ the wrong direction

    I’m new here. This kind of makes me laugh thinking about how many angry customers at DJI must have demanded new ****, saying they weren’t at fault at all. Only for DJI to look at the log and sit calmly until this angry person exhausts all their oxygen so they can say “you did this”

    Mavic Mini Unlevel Gimbal. No ROLL Adjustments at All?!

    We are brothers now. I’m sorry for your loss sir. Loss of sanity over a crooked horizon ?

    Mavic Mini Unlevel Gimbal. No ROLL Adjustments at All?!

    They ain’t takin my money. Ain’t a thing on this earth I can’t fix. I just don’t know where the problem lies. I’ve tried bumping it back, it springs right back to where the camera thinks level is, but it’s not. It consistently goes off level no matter what force is applied, and It doesn’t do...

    Mavic Mini Unlevel Gimbal. No ROLL Adjustments at All?!

    They are all good. I have had my p3 apart many times and had many bad crashes and never got stuck with such a basic issue. You can start the craft with the gimbal level, and it slowly rotates it to unlevel just by 2-3 degrees. But it’s enough to completely throw off your flight. I just triple...

    Mavic Mini Unlevel Gimbal. No ROLL Adjustments at All?!

    I have had my mini for about a month and I love it. I got it while my P3 was down. I had a very, very light crash with the mini and afterward, the camera is unlevel. It needs roll adjustment but there isn't any! What in God's name were they thinking not being able to adjust the roll? AC works...
