Yeah I'll definitely be sticking in P or C mode. It's frustrating because there was really no need to be in Sport mode but it was literally my 3rd or 4th time flying so I chalk it up to a lesson learned the hard way!

Sorry I came off as inconsiderate! I was just trying to make light of the unfortunate situation, but I do appreciate the help everyone has offered me in resolving this as quickly and intelligently as possible. I've been reflecting a lot on how I can maintain more control of my flying in the...

I think it depends on the item, the friend, and the way the situation is handled. I've never owned a chainsaw but my Dad has a few, one in particular that's been good to him for 25+ years, and I could see the sentimental value of such a tool making it hard to objectively resolve an issue with...

Yeah you're definitely right about there being risk to repairing damage like this, I decided to just call it totaled to expidite the replacement process. I flew backwards into a tree in sport mode and it was definitely going pretty fast. I made the same move right before I crashed but must have...

Thanks for the reply and great info! As dirkclod mentions below, I ended up purchasing a mini with no accessories from DJI Drone Service which ended up being a great deal. It's been purchased and is en-route to my location!

Thanks for the recommendation! I've reached out to this vendor.

Sure! I'll look further into that further. Thanks!

For sure! I thought I mentioned this earlier but I purchased my own Mini right before this happened and I'm letting him use it while I get his replacement figured out so no drone-downtime on his end.

Hmm, do you know if they'll send it back for free as well? Might still be worth it regardless, but if I have to try and scrap it anyway you're right, it's worth a free estimate. And on the note of scrapping it, do you think a drone repair would buy it for parts if I end up buying an entirely new...

Hey man I appreciate the support! I'd love to hook him up with a new Mini 2, he's a great dude for letting me borrow his Mini 1 in the first place. Lost my job a few months ago though so I've been building out my portfolio and the drone work was an investment into my future. From a financial...

That's what this whole threads working towards ;)

Wait no I need the Original Mavic Mini, wouldn't that be the MM1?

Interesting, I wonder how much they would charge for that. I'm really just focused on the OG Mini! Yeah we'll be sharing the one I have coming in for now and then I'll be finding him a replacement haha

I wish! This is actually a friends drone and I just bought my own Mini to practice before upgrading. Safe to safe I need more practice haha

Thanks for the info! Do you know of any seller that would sell just the drone itself with no accessories?
