That's very helpful information. Thank you.

What's the minimum memory required in an ipad to effectively support the MM?

my concern is the battery life on these old devices. checking reviews on amazon, that seems to be the major complaint with older devices in general. I don't really need more than a couple of hours but I want to make sure that it has enough of a charge to support going out for the day with 3 or...

I’ve had the mini a couple of weeks now I guess. Christmas Eve I Extended my distance to 1,400 feet and took off. Started to lose sight of it, got nervous, so started to bring it back by bringing it straight back in reverse - except I’m pulling back on the left stick... imagine my surprise...

One more thing - I downloaded the UAV Forecast app to my iphone the other day after reading about it here. It seems very useful and, if accurate, could help give me more information as it relates to wind speed at higher altitudes. I also like that it gives wind direction so that if I have that...

Do you use them on your MM? If you do, do you fly with the payload setting on? How much of a difference, if any, do the lights make during flight? My order for the Firehouse strobes should be arriving this week. I ordered 4 strobe mounts - two front and two rear - but may only use the front...

Thanks for the invitation Paul. I would like to do that. I'll PM you. Mark

Thank you for the kind words. I just thought most new drone owners felt like me. Anxious and a little overwhelmed. Even you veterans had to start at the beginning. Wanted to share from another newbie that taking it “low and slow” as someone here said is the way to go.

Thank you.

Thanks Paul. This time I went to Winton Park. I fly fish in that area and like the water there. Wish we had better flying weather but we do need the rain. I’ll just have to be patient. my first couple of flights were by the San Joaquin. As you can tell, I like being around the more less...

thanks. Bookmarked.

I’m a brand new mini and drone owner. Took the mini to Kings River yesterday after a few flights at the park near my home. Thought I would share my experience and how I prepared: 1. Read the mini forums on this site and check out the YouTube videos. I learned a lot through other’s experience...

It wasn't broken - just assembled backwards. I looked more closely and saw the tab just slipped over its bracket. I slipped it off, turned it over and put it back on. Then I pushed the tabs in the holes.

Thank you for the link. I'll contact DJI for warranty support and see what they have to say. It's a shame as I have no idea how long it's going to take to get a replacement.
