Had a sudden loss of connection here in NZ as well (with Mavic Mini) Was flying over beach (with booster antenna attached to remote control) and suddenly lost signal. Panicked and I tried pointing controller in direction of craft but still didn't get any signal. Battery at this time was 18%...

I just recently came across a channel on youtube that discussed the differences between the two in quite some detail and they even flew the Mavic Mini out with both. It was explained that the Yagi's have very narrow focused signal so you have to be aimed straight at the aircraft to get the...

I'm in no way a video editor master but quick cuts are certainly more engaging. I have found this to be true the moment i bought my Mavic Mini 3 weeks ago. I find myself doing heaps of quick cuts on my Mavic Mini and my videos are very short but they have more impact IMO. That said the...

Just received option 2 in OP's list and I am genuinely scared of how much it will bend the top prop blades. The bottom blades are nice and loose but secure in the holder's cutout however you have to stretch the top strap over the craft to clip on the button and that extra stretch applied a bit...

Yes i love this shot. Its really well done. Thanks all for the inspriation. Can't wait for weather to clear up here where i live so i can go out and shoot all day. Drones are a heap of fun and im very happy i bought my first.

Thought that the motor caps would be a good idea since been reading about them protecting from dust but when you put it that way and with how light and sensitive this drone is regarding weight, i'd rather leave it as is. I already received my pgytech landing pad yesterday so taking off from...

Thank you kind Sir for the response. Are you able to forward me to the site that i can purchase these covers and potentially a Mavic Mini wetsuit if they are available?

Hi Friend. May i ask where you can buy these Yagi + Reflector combo? I'm interested in purchasing for my drone. Not to exceed visual line of sight but to strengthen signal in any condition. My drone is only 3 days old and already i have had issues losing signal in less than 250 meters so to have...

Very two minded with these motor caps. My Mini is only 3 days old and i'm looking for useful accessories to add to it. These motor caps came up in a search in google. I have done extensive reading and watching videos on this and still i can't make up my mind. Some say its bad because it makes...

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Thank you for the response and tips. Duly noted. I have the GoFly app installed on my phone already and i'm going through everything to get my bearings. My drone is on its way. Hope i get it this afternoon. If not, then definitely tomorrow.

Welcome :)

Hi fellow members, Just last night I decided to pull the trigger on a Mavic Mini. For weeks I planned to get Mavic Air 2 but this being my first time getting a drone I thought I'd start small and build to the bigger, more advanced aircraft. I also decided on getting some accessories from...

Yeah there are bound to be very strong winds near the summit of that mountain and you're drone will be really unstable and maybe even crash into the mountain. I wouldn't take that risk. The higher you go, the stronger the winds get in most situations i believe so its north worth it going that...

Thank you kind Sir and duly noted. I'm learning as much as i can about these devices before my purchase.

Love the effect. Did this take you one flight on a full battery ? That is very well done. Thanks for sharing.
