Sadly that is not correct. I had the Mini lying around for 2 weeks (due to a DIY project) and yesterday I had the first chance to test it. What I noticed above all other things is the reach of the thing, or better the lack of wifi reach. In CE-Mode it is absolute crap. Those YouTubers who did...

That is valuable intel. You do not know if those two come with the ground crew included by any chance?

You are probably right. I guess I will regret my decision on sevaral occaisons, but that is what I experienced with my M2Z as well. Only the subject of my disappointment was different in the past. But I will let you know my true feelings once I get my hands on it.

You should look into getting a RQ-4 Global Hawk to top things off, now that's a big drone. It also makes short work of people you strongly dislike... Make sure that you get the Fly More Combo with the carrying case...

I sold my Mavic 2 Zoom to downgrade to a Mavic Mini. Before the Mavic Zoom I had the Mavic Air, but that was a noisy bugger that got on my nerves. The Mavic Zoom is great in principle. It is rather silent and has great range, but it is a complex drone and I am a recreational pilot. The Go Fly...

I had the Mavic Air, when it came out. Great formfactor but terribly noisy. I sold it for a Mavic 2 Zoom. Much quieter but rather bulky and heavy. It is more on the professional side of things, but I am no professional. I am typically recording in medium settings and not taking that many...

No it has not. Only as part of the smart modes, to keep you in view. But not as a dedicated feature.

Yeah, I'm not buying into that. It is certainly more visible lying on the table (not sure, that is a good thing) but a few 1cm wide orange lines do not do much good once the thing is 50m up in the air. The rotating orange props become invisible when turning, regardless of the color. If you...

You have a point there. Wrapping PT Cruisers and Fiat Multiplas would probably not improve these monumental screww ups, but the wrappers would have a hard time to make these hellish designs markedly worse.

I am sharing my opinion or rather my observations. If this forum is aimed at applauding whatever people come up with, it should probably be renamed into a laudation board, not a forum or discussion board. Until instructed otherwise, I will continue to voice my dissent to all things I dissent...

My problem with skins is, they look crappy. Factory finish usually can't be beat. Neither can people who studied design and earn a living as industrial designers. Just stop trying. And I extend this advice to cars, cellphones, laptops, ... Basically, if it ain't broke, don't break it. And that...

How so? There isn't a seal or anything. How would DJI know?

I would go for a second gimbal as well It takes 5 Minutes to swap and you save a good 1.000 bucks for redundant equipment. It would be better if the gimbal had some sort of quick release but it is ok as it is. I am currently saving for a pro gimbal. Are the ones form Ali Express any good? I...

Size matters. Small size that is. The best drone is the one, you have with you. That is more likely to be an Air than a Pro. There are other aspects that can be evaluated either way, but the size is an ablsolute, nothing relative about it. So getting the Air is a good idea in my opinion. If you...

In my case, the battery was defective. It did not charge again after the episode. But it does not seem to be a frequent occurance, more of an outlier. But scary as hell nonetheless...
