Be careful on how you store the Mavic Mini blades as they can warp easily giving you the dreaded ESC motor error stating you need to change the blades on the beeping motor (that is how the MM is programmed to identify the faulty blades). The proper storage position is directly across the body...

I could see it in his eyes..."Dude you are getting too close!"

I was shocked to see one of my MM blades drooping badly after storage overnight. It's matching blade was fine...so somehow the drooping blade must have been out of position in the storage case and thus warped by the case. Nonetheless, using finger pressure and body heat, I warped the blade...

I had problems calibrating my MM while wearing a steel watch band. As soon as I took the watch off and placed it in my pocket the calibration proceeded normally.

Speaking of Firehouse ARC II stobes, I read this disclaimer "The only warning I'll give to Mavic Mini owners is, once you get it to your flying height, keep it there because if you come down with less than 80% battery, Payload mode kicks in and keeps it under 100ft...if you have climbed to clear...

I have one of those pads. I really don't see a need to use it once you learn to land the drone in your hand! On the other hand, it is useful for launching off of a grassy surface that would interferce with the propellers.

I loved the shot of the MM flying through the arch...very cool!

Hi Bacnine, I got three motor speed errors(three differnt motors) on my very first outing and did a lot of blade changing. I lost one blade, during a change, when I used the original screw instead of the replacement screws with the loctite. I am glad that happened on the ground and not...

I am considering using a card style tracker such as the Pebblebee wallet card. It is very thin and light. It works via bluetooth with a tracker app on your phone (apple or android). At this point I am not sure how to attach it to the drone as you need to be able to remove it to recharge it...

I put my phone number and "reward" on my drone just for this very reason!

Perhap DJI programmed the cotroller to charge the phone to prevent a shutdown of the Fly app while flying the drone...that would be bad to happen!

I was storing my MM blades in an "X" pattern similar to yours using a rubber band to hold them in place. I got three "motor speed" errors on my first outing which I think was caused by the pressure of the rubber bands holding the blades in place thus deforming them. Aretainer that holds the...

FAA rules and regulations are placed to enforce safe operations. That is a good thing. Obviously you need to be rationale about following the rules. I am going to drive 35 mph in a congested area when the speed is posted at 35mph because that is the safe thing to do. But when I am in the...

Ditto: scuffing and minor nicks are not a problem but a crack will fail at some point. Replace cracked blades.

I bought a set of those after I figured out that I may have caused the propellers to warp by storing them in the "X" position for a long period of time.
