That's what kinda caught me off guard. We were up about 200ft and about 20ft away from the home point. When I noticed I was having cord issues, I started to mess with it and thats when my son started to yell at me about almost hitting him. When I looked up again, I saw my drone auto landing, but...

I've been using a 12" polarpro cable for my iPad for almost a year now and it's worked flawlessly. My usb-c cable for my phone however has been a challenge. The cable from dji has failed, the cable from Samsung has failed, so now I ordered these. Time will tell.

My son's were stored in a bag with the extra props.

Quick eBay search, I don't think trying to argue with bestbuy would be worth the $4.

He thought he was, but unfortunately was not. It would definitely be posted. On I side note, I don't like the app used to fly the mini.

It is, he was watching me almost crash into him as I was getting pissed off with a cable I should have replaced months ago. It's funny that people are willing to drop a grand on a hobby, then continue to use a junk $5 cable. I have since ordered a new cable though.

Quick story about having some stupid fun that almost cost me a few bucks. My son just picked up a new mini and took it out. I thought it would be fun to get some video of his mini with my MP1, so I took off shortly after him. As he was shooting a picture of my drone, I was hovering motionless...

It's 3/4" thick. The orange black panel has a 16" diameter and the lime black ring makes it a 24" diameter.

HDPE, when I go in tonight I'll grab the files and post a link to them here.

How stable are the rubber feet when it lands in wind? That's not a bad idea, it really closes down the surface area needed to land.

CNC router at work. I designed then cut them out of scrap. So they cost me nothing to make.

I've made several of these at work, however this is my first attempt at something more portable. I know that there are lighter options, some guys use floor mats, some hand launch/recover, some ever use a river, tree or tall building. I prefer this 3/4" plastic because it will not blow away...

I fought with this for a long time. I'm using a ipad 5th gen and MP1. I tried alot of different things and it's unreal how hard it is to transfer files from the drone to an iPad. I ending up buying one of these and it works great. I put the jump drive and micro sd into my pc, transfer files then...

I couldn't get a great frame off the prop coming apart, but I agree with everyone before me that says the prop definitely fell apart in flight.

Game changer. Kinda pisses me off that I didn't realize this sooner. Thank you for pointing it out.
