    Landing Gear

    I do have one of these skids, very lightweight but be careful not to spring the skids together when fitting as mine cracked at the centre line. Superglue fixed it!

    It’s April. Any new word on the Mavic Mini SDK being released?

    I completely agree! I flew 18 holes of a golf course with my Phantom and Lovely Litchi, a few of those shots were out of sight for a time but I never worried about the Big Bird's return. Fabulous!

    Flying Mavic Mini without a phone - Lesson Learned

    I like this post, it is a good idea to try to fly without the aid of the screen but some warnings will not be seen. Fly carefully folks!

    Did anybody else get a aircraft firmware code 30122 after update?

    ND Filter in Auto mode?

    My Mavic scared me after landing .

    I bought a pair of Velcro strips for a hand held bracket for walking / filming. I have now used one of them to wrap around the Mavic body and battery to ensure it cannot come out !!! Haven' tried flying with it yet. Can anyone see any problems with it?
