I have a fly more case and have been paranoid about handling and storing my mini as I always suspected it wouldn't take much to deform the blades. When I seen people putting the mini in a pocket or bag with the props swinging wildly I cringed. So far *knock on wood* i haven't had any uncommanded...

I was inspecting the roof of my house to see if there was any damage from the latest storm and when heading up over the roof peak the drone hit the asphalt shingle. Some damage to the gimble and body but it flew on without issue. I changed all props as there was a small nick on 2 blades and had...

Yes I did have this problem, 1 in every 5-10 clips would become corrupt. I contacted DJI and they told me to refresh the firmware with DJ Assistant. I thought to myself yeah sure like that will fix it, refreshed the firmware on both aircraft and controller and haven't had a corrupted video since.

I've never had a Mavic 1 but I can tell you that there's a lot of shots in your video that wouldn't have been possible with the mini due to the wind speed.

I updated and tested it out today before I changed my props due to getting too close to the roof of my house when doing an inspection. No issues or warnings and the props were pretty banged up from hitting the shingles. One even still had some tiny asphalt pieces still stuck to the blade but it...

Only problem i had was a bad firmware update that caused at least 1 video each time flying to be corrupt(not the typical forgetting to stop video before shutting down drone corrupt). We thought it was the memory card but once that was eliminated DJI suggested I refresh the firmware with...

I use a Galaxy S7 Edge and I can drain all 3 mini batteries flying and still have 2 lights left on the controller. Same cable that came with the mini.

I am in Canada also and may have to do the same. From all reports it seems to work fine, i was worried there would be some lag and choppy video on such a low priced tablet but no one has reported any.

I was afraid to fly mine for a while but now i just be careful with the winds and when they are good I go fly without problems. Sure the mini isn't perfect but it was the only way I would ever be able to get into this hobby because of the price. Well sure i could have purchased cheap drones...
