    CE TO FCC

    Just a FYI... On my recently purchesed second hand Mini 2 I seem to have permanent FCC mode in the EU: - From DJI Assistant downgrade the FW from 01.07.0200 to 01.06.0200 - Install latest version of the DJI Fly app (I had v1.10.1) - Use the free "Mavic Air 2 fcc" apk to set it to FCC (verify...

    Mavic Mini Motor covers?

    I noticed this accessory popping up on ebay and Aliexpress: https://www.ebay.com/itm/4X-CNC-Aluminium-Dust-proof-Motor-Protective-Case-Cover-for-DJI-Mavic-Mini-Drone/264541592212 It actually sounds useful, but it's probably not recommended to mess with the motors? And since you have to remove...

    Advice for the smallest bag/case that's just large enough to carry the Mini, the remote, 2 batteries, and your phone

    Not exactly what you are looking for, but for an ultra-compact solution I repurposed an old Spark case for RC + Mini: https://mavicpilots.com/threads/utra-compact-mavic-mini-case.76123/#post-861558 I like the fact that I can even leave the RC sticks on! I just put a nylon sleeve on the Mini...

    Can the controller’s battery last 3 Mavic Mini batteries?

    BTW: I measured 0.23A @5V with my Galaxy S8 connected to the RC using a USB tester, so we might even get a bit more than 2h.

    Has anyone tried Anafi props on the Mini?

    They look very similar in terms of the screw-on attachment, but the Anafi props have a significantly larger blade area. Would be interesting to see if the Mini might even be quieter and more efficient with them. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it yet, would make for a cool YT video for...

    Photo mode 16:9 cropped version of 4:3?

    I am personally very glad it has a 16:9 option, that was actually one of my gripes of the Spark! All devices I own are 16:9 and I do not want to do any post-processing at all, just snap some photos. That option also makes framing much easier if you want to use 16:9 anyway. I guess it makes a lot...

    Utra compact Mavic Mini case

    There is no inlay any more, so it is resting on the props at one end for sure (I pasted a small piece of foam on the bottom in between). I would definitely not put it in heavy Luggage like this, but in a small backpack for a daytrip or a walk it should be fine. :)

    Utra compact Mavic Mini case

    I have not found an ultra-compact case yet, but for now I am using this old Aliexpress Spark case (17x17x6,5 cm). I just cut out the moulded inlay, and the Mini + RC with sticks now fit snugly! :) Mavic Mini: 140 × 82 × 57 RC: 145 x 77 x 35 (ca. 245g) DJI Combo Case: 270x195x85 PgyTech...

    CE Version of Mavic Mini. Big disadvantages in UK and EU.

    According to the latest info from DJI, the FCC model will be limited to 5.8GHz in CE strength (500m max!) when flying in CE regions! :eek: https://forum.dji.com/for...eid%26typeid%3D712&page=2 If the Mavic Mini you purchased is an FCC version, you can fly normally in FCC and SRRC countries and...

    Mavic Mini Range Tests - FCC : 2380/3854 meters (5.8Ghz) - CE : 610/517 meters (2.4 GHz)

    Great find! It's reassuring to see CE distances >1km, even if it's under perfect conditions.

    Mavic Mini Range Tests - FCC : 2380/3854 meters (5.8Ghz) - CE : 610/517 meters (2.4 GHz)

    The Mini in that review may have defaulted to 5.8Ghz, in which case 500m would make sense. They also tested at only 30m height, which does not really help either. Not expecting miracles for this tiny quad, but a stable connection up to 500m would be nice. As for the FCC hack using Fake GPS...

    CE Version of Mavic Mini. Big disadvantages in UK and EU.

    Nah, they hardly look at these devices anyway and probably have no idea what to look for spec-wise. It's probably not even illegal to own a FCC drone in the EU, as long as you don't fly it there. If anything their main concern would probably be the battery. :)
