    How quickly do you deploy your drone?

    With my Mini I also do the no props guards, leave controller and dedicated device connected and ready (no cable fuss) and leave the sticks on (having a bag with special safe places for the controller. The most time is checking everything when the device and the drone power up. With a motocycle...

    It’s out… Are they nuts?

    The SSD would be overpriced for sure. But I think there also higher costs for the infrastructure for handling the bigger amounts of data and stay under the 900 grams of weight....

    It’s out… Are they nuts?

    It became cheaper compared to a Mavic 2: Mavic 2 Intelligent Flight Battery 149 USD for 31 minutes --- that is 4.8 USD per minute Mavic 3 Intelligent Flight Battery 209 USD for 45 minutes --- that is 4.6 USD per minute :)

    Power up Controller or drone first

    I switch on the drone last. Main reason: I live at nearly 10,000 feet altitude, and here batteries only last 18-20 minutes. So I try to "save" battery, and may it even be 30 seconds of the drone resting on the ground :-)

    Are there better APPS?

    Don't think that work(ed). You have to activate your new drone once with the DJI Fly app. Are you aware you have to download the app from the DJI website? Curious to hear how this continues :-)

    Are there better APPS?

    I bought a Mavic Mini last year. Quickly I learned, that "interesting functions" (like waypoints, point of interest etc.) are not available in the DJI Fly app. So I tried Litchi, dronelink and Maven (for iOS only). I liked dronelink, because it allows me to easily create a flight path for...

    I'm a newbie, how do I enable course lock on mavic mini 1...?

    Hi, Joeyambor69xxx, while the Mavic Mini (resp. the DJI Fly app) does not provide course lock, you can use similar features with 3rd party apps. In Litchi the Focus Mode (with option "Aircraft Rotation" off) is a similar thing. In Maven (iOS only) you can use the "Virtual Copilot" and choose...
