The first ones I saw in the early 70's were called electronic slide rules, came with a belt pouch, and the Engineers waited several weeks to get one. Very basic, but could do square roots!

Is it available for the later model Mini 3?

Pilot error caused my drone to "nest" at about 45'. Thankfully a friend of a friend had a bucket truck and retrieved it for me. He is also a drone pilot and I was not his first retrieval but I am very grateful for his help and better educated on what not to do! This was my 3rd flight and I...

I have not purchased any due to MY confusion on what actually works with the current model Mavic Mini 3. Offerings such as this that state 2022 models make it appear that it will not fit my 2023 model. I am hoping that a owner of the current model can point me in the right direction. Landing...

Thank you for allowing me to take part here. I have already learned a lot from the forums. I just received my Mini 3 Pro and trying to get it in the air.
