***Update*** DJI is replacing the main board on the drone under warranty. I look forward to more flights over the canyon with the Mini 2.

Honestly, I may never know precisely what happened to the little Mini. I can say that I saw no marks of any kind on the drone. I opened a support ticket at DJI and they have the drone now. I am anxious to see what they say. Best regards, Marcus aka Idaho Quadcopter

That is a great story. I'm glad you retrieved your drone. Thank you for sharing it with us.

While I don't consider myself a drone expert by any means, I have at least 100 or more flights over the Snake River Canyon, and have been flying DJI drones, and many other manufacturers since the Phantom 3. While it may very well have been a wind event that caused my issue with the Mini 2, I...

Thank you, I enjoyed all of the responses here. Out of an abundance of caution, I did open a ticket with DJI and they are looking the drone over for any potential malfunctions.

I have a good friend that works for the Peregrine Fund, World Center for Birds of Prey. I asked him about flying in areas with a lot of birds of prey. He tells me that they are considering using drones to check nests for eggs and chicks. They feel it's much safer and easier than rappelling...

I'm not sure what your issue is, but I can say that I fly my Mavic 2 Zoom in areas without cell service all the time.

Ha! We're all pretty defensive about our Mavics. As others have said, no issues with any Mavics of mine. They are amazing flying cameras.

One of the features of DJI Select is that it is supposed to prioritize your order. I ordered my Mavic 2 as soon as I saw it available in the DJI store. I subsequently received a shipped notification within a few hours. Additionally, DJI Select gave me a 50% reduction in the cost of DJI...

I ordered a Flame Red one on the 23rd. It does not show as shipped yet. I'm in no hurry, the Mavic Pro is still in the drone stable.
