    IPhone 6s battery drain

    I've got the iphone 6s (2014-15) with my Mini as well and this 6s gets hot as hell when I'm flying.. drains quick too (but I'm never 'up in the air' that long that I worry about it). Time to upgrade methinks is best solution. (I'm in Canada so somehow DJI Fly app is unavailable for all my...

    How To Handle a "No Drones Allowed" Claim

    Nice... You try your best NOT to invade their space and yet, what do they do? Invade yours; because, after all, they do 'OWN' the Park, eh what!?. I keep my Drone Pilot certificate with me and inform them that I am following all the rules as set out by the Authorities. And, as far as I...

    Flying below take-off height

    Interesting! On the ski slope, I would be concerned enough to ski down first, stop, and launch shooting up the hill. But the waterfall shots from above and lower it down... now that I wouldn't be able to get around figuring this if it confronted my Mini. Anxious to be seeing how Dave/Canada...

    Mavic Mini 1 vs. Mini 2 comparison

    Thanks to all of you as to props interchangability. It's definitely a no-go MM2 on the MM1. Even the mounting screw(s) configs are different so as to bugger up the receiving threads; The 'walk-thru' best expressed, as previously mentioned, on Drone 51 site: Don't do it !

    Mavic Mini 1 vs. Mini 2 comparison

    I'm finding that my larger drone, the M2 Zoom, doesn't come with me as much as it's so freaking large compared to my more transportable MM1. I take 'Mini' on my eBike almost all the time. The only drawback that I've had with 'Mini' is stability and lack of forcefulness in modeate winds. I'm...

    DJI Mavic Mini 2 propellers - improved design

    Hi all: My one complaint about my Mini 1 is its reluctance to fly well in a breeze (darn near lost it as is drifted past me, struggling at 10' altitude). Fortunately I set it down and went and fetched it. Now I hear the the new propellers for the Mini 2 are 'stiffer' and would help to...

    (Gutter/trough) inspections etc: Is the *idea* possibly a security question for owners?

    Nice to have 'leaves' ... I've got these heavier cedar bits and they're wet as well.

    How to tell my wife when you purchase something

    Once Covid 'kicked butt' around us planning to go anywhere soon (NOT), both of us kinda had to re-invent ourselves as to what we 'can' or 'might' do. The drone(s) I've bought kinda fill the vacancy and she's happy that I'm busy with some hobby ...outside of the house. She likes doing puzzles...

    (Gutter/trough) inspections etc: Is the *idea* possibly a security question for owners?

    Haha. That worked. Flight happened and the files weren't THAT large. He put me onto his wifi and the rest was easy-peasy of course. Not sure I wanted to test DJI's security out anyway ie with my Mini showing up on my pal's iPhone.. Not sure that would 'fly' anyway... so-to-speak
