    RUST ON MAVIC MINI

    If you're really concerned ( I wouldn't be) just use a light emery cloth and then you could use a dab of grey modeling paint

    flying in snow

    I have two Parrot Bebop2 power editions (500g's) that seem to handle wind a bit better than the MM does. Still breezy here today but a balmy 35f :-) I have set it on the deck and flown from inside my kitchen looking out the window to the back yard at times. I'd hate to have it go bazerk and...

    Compatible devices

    My Samsung note 4 wouldn't work with the MM...too old technology but works fine for my Parrot Bebops. My brother has a Umidigi tablet android 9 and it worked fine so I found a brand new in box 7 inch on ebay for $70.00. I have no problems with it. Jim

    mavic mini stuck at 95% imu calibration step 1/5 using ipad mini 4

    Had to recalibrate IMU on my new replacement MM also. It would get to 4 of 5 steps and stay there then say "recalibrate" I just moved the drone (wiggle) in the step that was taking its sweet time and it worked. Maybe the dji app was cattiwumps or just being slow
