I've had mine since November and have roughly 50 flights and not an issue. I haven't flown in a while and I haven't done the latest firmware update but I'm hoping to get out this coming week.

It took a LONG time. My PC wasn't built for editing videos...the processing took 6 hours (there was a backup that slowed things down, my last 20 minute video took 4 hours. I think it took just over 2 hours to upload (only have a 5MB upstream internet connection).

Thanks for the comments...looks like long vs. short is a heated debate.

Posted another train video, this one is mostly steam engines on "tourist" railroads during the past month. This came out a bit longer than I wanted...but I had a lot of footage to go through.

I am new and overly cautious, and I haven't crashed mine yet (45ish flights). I have gotten really close to a tree (was panning around an object and looking at the screen and all of the sudden there were tree branches directly to the left of the drone) and yesterday I took off and in a bit of a...

Thanks for the comments! By the way, I use an external audio recorder on a tripod when I fly, so that's where the sound is coming from. I start the audio and then push the record button in the DJI Fly app which makes a fairly loud beep. I use that to sync the audio and video.

I agree this video is a bit long...doesn't help that the trains are moving slow either.

I've had about 30 flights on my Mavic Mini so far. No a single issue so far, and being new to drones (but not R/C), I've been so impressed with the Mini. I shoot railroad subjects and the drone opens up so many possibilities it's crazy. The video below features the first trip out over water...

I've started adding Mavic Mini videos to my channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbRQMOQd8Y66dlTn4ZqP7CA It's all train-related stuff

For future reference...if you need to send logs to DJI for analysis the ones that sync from the app are the ones they need? I noticed another folder on my SD card alongside the video folder which contained some misc. stuff. Are those ones safe to delete if you sync to the cloud?

I initially hated the term "drone"

I lucked out in that my work phone (Galaxy S8) works great but unfortunately my personal phone (Moto G4) doesn't. I was looking at upgrading my personal phone to a OnePlus 6T which I see is compatible. I really would like to not have to use my company-supplied phone, esp. since it's in an...

Hello Everyone, Joined the forum today (but have been lurking for awhile, esp. on the Autel Pilots page). I was on the fence about getting a drone for quite a while (3 years?) but couldn't quite justify shelling out north of $1K for anything. Over the past 10 years I had been fairly active in...
