I always use a lanyard for all my flights unless I forget it. With the mini and and an ipad, the air2 with Rcn1 and now the Mini3 pro. I like the single attachment so if 1 end comes loose it can’t fall. Not in the way at all.
Show the gimble you retrieved and look at the front of the leg in the photo. It looks just like the mini I have and that front arm has mavic mini printed on it.
