I was eyeing up what it would take to print a mount that would look less terrible than velcro'd battery/LED packs. I'd gladly pay $100 for a DJI replacement frame/shell with proper night-lighting that connected to internal power, even if it were a 250+g result (esp since I only have Plus...

Three test flights on mini so far. Longest was 19 minutes in the air and the Plus battery went from 87% to 26% (61% usage, with moderate winds at 120m. Felt like forever since my og mini only has like 14 minutes in the air from 95%-15% battery LOL.

One data point: The frame is quite a bit thinner and more flexible* than my mini; it definitely feels delicate. OTOH, everything seems to fit well and my test flight went off without a hitch. I got noticeably anxious as I crossed the 1km distance mark (since my mini tends to lose signal past...

While I agree with most here that the overweight option for the Plus batteries is obvious, I think it's misleading ar, at the least, disingenuous, to advertise the <249g and the 45min flight time in the same chart.

Not just buying, bought and sitting on my kitchen table. It’s been a good year for consulting so Uncle Sam and the great Commonwealth of Virginia will be kicking in a third of the cost , after taxes. My current drone has served admirably on several occasions but is the original mini, so I’m...

FWIW, I saw a line-of-sight test that showed the signal fading/weak signal notification at 6.3km. As a Part 107 US flyer, I'm not sure how I could keep an unaided line of sight from the control station to this drone that far out (and I have 20/12 vision), but it's nice to get better link margin...

There’s a pilot institute video that ran some text charts and real life photos of the 12 and 48 mp mode ( ). The results are mostly underwhelming since it’s giving the 48mp as the image wo the Bayer filter (I think). The Insta360 X3 plays the same trick to get 72mp shots from its nominal 18mp...

I went ahead and ordered from Best Buy around 10am. Same price as DJI, delivery estimate is tomorrow 9/26. I'm pretty excited - I'm upgrading from a Mini so it should be quite a jump for me.
