    Would an upgraded cable be of any benefit?

    The controller and phone talk on a serial bus. Any functional cable allows that and won't perform any differently than a high end cable. There's no harm, but unnecessary. Also, the stock cable is a OTG.

    RAW vs JPG

    I shoot RAW because it works better for me. It's entirely subjective. I've got the point just fine. [emoji6] I'm a landscape shooter. I prefer very dynamic light in the margins of the day. I need to shoot RAW to manage the dynamic range without introducing a ton of noise. Aerial real estate...

    RAW vs JPG

    If you prefer to work with jpg, work with jpg.

    New or refurbished?

    DJI refresh details indicate you may get a refurbished unit. I'm pretty sure I did too.

    Top of Camera with Lots of Scratches out of the box?

    I just got a refresh replacement and it came with a silicone pad on the gimbal cover. I still use my PP cover.

    Smart controller

    I'm a recent convert too. Love the bright screen. I wish they'd just install a compatible playstore so you didn't have to screw around with it.

    Added a Mavic Mini to the stable

    I used mine as a backup and finished a shoot last weekend, after putting my M2P into a construction crane. [emoji51] I got all the footage I needed. It's a great little drone.

    Found out, exactly, how close one can fly to a construction crane safely. The battery managed to stay in for the first 50' drop. It was spinning hard and the battery ejected before coming to a thud below. Was about 100' when I smacked it. Stupid pilot. Cinematic mode, got too close, freaked...
