    Mini 3 Pro RC Screen Lock and Dangerous Loss of Aircraft Control with App 1.6.8

    Just turned on the drone and controller and was informed of another firmware update. This one is Aircraft Firmware 01.00.0201. Claims to fix inconsistencies between firmware updates. Hopefully this addresses the controller lock up.

    Mini 3 pro first thoughts

    Mine arrived three days ago and I have been putting it through the paces between rain showers. Weather has not been very cooperative at all this year.

    Bad news for Canadians Mini 3 Pro

    Two others in our camera clubs Drone SIG had their orders confirmed yesterday as well, so I would expect anyone who ordered their drone with the new controller will be getting their new drone sometime towards the end of next week. Fingers crossed of course.
