Sold!

Hey Gang, Clearing out space. I've got a Mini 2 Flymore Combo, with 4 batteries, for sale in London (UK). I'm looking for £230. Never been crashed, no cosmetic damage and I've been the only owner. Thanks for looking.

Nearly lost mine too recently at sea shooting footage of The Red Sand Forts. I've owned the mini 1/2 with no crashes/launch issues. Not only could I not hand launch via upwards thrust on land but at sea when hand launching via joystick the drone took off properly but like you've stated dropped...

See my post about hand launching a few months ago.

Ya, I never thought about it as it always worked without any guff before. New controller/screen and joysticking up whilst juggling a drone bit much though. Potential for butterfingers and all that.

Hey thanks for getting back to me! I'm happy to hear you didn't suffer the fate of my maiden voyage. I really like how quiet it is too, at night it's especially stealthy, my neighbour called it a ninja drone. Can I ask did you throttle up using a joystick out of your hand or toss the drone...

My successful long range test was in an urban area. Funnily enough over the weekend I couldn't get more than 800m. The range is inconsistent, in my experience, with both remotes. It's a shame that, for the time, we only have 1 battery and no spares to transfer between for proper comparisons.

That's correct.

With the RC N1 3000+ (one way), it's about 1100 with the DJI RC. Returned with about 10+ minutes of battery life too on the standard battery.

That's the one, yes.

Hi Yorkshire, thanks for your reply. As mentioned I've never really had any issues hand launching, just a light upward motion and the props fire up and it's hovering in place. I did the same with the Mini 3 and it just dropped out of the sky and landed with a thud on the concrete. This is a huge...

Hi, yes I did. There's video evidence on one, 'DJI Mini 3: 51 things you should know before buying' by 51 Drones. Also as mentioned DC Rain Maker's correspondence between him and myself.

Thanks so much for your help and advice, I really appreciate you going the extra mile.

Hi Globe Trotter Drone, thanks for your reply. I've never had issues palm launching any of my drones, Mini 1/2 are effortless. Lightly push up and the drone fires up, it does the small dip as you've mentioned from time to time too. I'm not sure what you mean by 'sliding to the top'? I've always...

Hi Suren, thanks for getting back to me, here's my process. I turn on on the RC N1, when I'm prompted to open the DJI Fly app or Lichi I choose the fly App and choose it to be opened by the RC N1. I then turn on the Mini 3, hold down the power button till it blinks. When I'm asked to choose the...
