Ordered props for my Mavic Mini on 7/2/2020, got them on 7/10/2020. I'm impressed.

Has anyone found any good after market props for the mavic mini?

I have had about ten flights with my Mavic Mini. Of those ten flights I can say one was bad because I had little or no idea what i was doing being a newbie. In a way even that one bad flight can be considered good because I learned a lot by my mistakes. Also I was extremely lucky because I was...

I was wondering if anyone has found or can suggest props for the Mini that are not made by DJI. I will continue to buy DJI, but just in case they become out of stock like the batteries.

Buy the 64 gig card. If you feel you need more memory, just buy a second 64 gig card and swap them out. I learned a long time ago to use smaller capacity cards in my digital cameras. The reason being if I lost a card or it became corrupted I didn't lose all of my pictures. Basically, don't put...

Well. Let's add interesting stories to the list also.

Does anyone have any idea if and when batteries for the MM will be available from the DJI store?

That's pretty much what I was thinking. The last thing i want to do is put my drone anywhere near water where it could get a bath.

Just wondering if anyone has actually launched their MM from the surface of a pond. Or landed on water with those pontoon floats.

I saw some on ebay. The prices are ridiculous. Not sure if the pirates have had a chance to produce knock offs of the batteries. Ebay and amazon are let the buyer beware.

Thanks for the link Thomas. I just got done reading an article on another site. The article stated that the mini does not have a tripod mode. Now that being said, at the time I was flying in C mode which from what i gather also slows down the drone. So I am wondering if airdata interprets C mode...

While I was looking at the video player on air data I noticed in the section below that my mini switched to tripod mode. What is tripod mode. I looked in the manual and all that is listed is P, S, and C modes. Just curious what triggers tripod mode.

Anyone have any good funny, ridiculous,dumb drone stories?

sure will
