Is this the one you're talking about? I'm glad you mentioned this. Perhaps I'll wait to see what DJI rolls out this month and then snag a M2P at a discounted price. Unfortunately, my unopened MM is going back to Best Buy. Just too many potential problems for a new drone pilot, such as myself. :)

This is actually a sign of a good company. Their engineers probably want to see exactly what happened so they can track component failures and make design or component changes if needed. Plus, the fact that they did all of this for free is pushing me in the direction of Autel. :)

An iPhone 6. I was considering an iPad mini, but a cellular-enabled iPad mini 5 is expensive—both, for the device and the service. Being the cheapskate that I am, I thought it would be better to get the biggest iPhone possible with the brightest screen.

I'm getting ready to upgrade to a new iPhone 11 Pro and I was wondering if a Pro Max would be a better option if I'm planning to use it to pilot a Mavic 2. I'm really interested in what you guys think—especially those of you using a similar setup. Thanks!

I've been reading this thread with great interest. I'm glad that the OP is getting a replacement MM from DJI, but the more I read about this little drone, the more concerns I have—especially as a new drone pilot. My biggest concerns are optical avoidance since the MM effectively doesn't have...

Does it actually work? :)

No, they wouldn't. I'm pretty sure you would have to send them back a physical product. :)

And this is exactly why I don't order some things from Amazon anymore, like memory cards, water filters, etc. I never thought that fake products would end up in the Amazon product stream, but that's exactly what's happening. Quite frankly, I think Amazon has hurt its reputation considerably by...

Is this what you're talking about? Amazon.com: giokfine Professional Landing Gear Extension Floating Kit for DJI Mavic Mini RC Drone Landing on Water: Toys & Games It's certainly a pretty cool idea. :)

Are you flying your Mavic Mini with your iPad Air? If so, what mount are you using and how well does it work and/or feel with the MM controller? Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what was the wind speed/gusts and at what altitude were you flying?

That looks good. Thanks for sharing it with me. I'm not crazy about the top and bottom black bars, but it looks like us iPad users don't have a choice. Right now, I'm debating between an iPad mini and an iPad Air. Either way, I'll likely purchase a tablet holder so I can keep it in a case.

Out of curiosity, do the other DJI apps for the Mavic 2 Pro allow you to adjust the screen's aspect ratio?

@LivinLarge, you are making this a difficult decision for me. :) So if I get the S5e I don't need a cellular-enabled model, correct? Also, how is the Andriod version of the Fly app? Some people have said it's not as refined as Apple iOS.

Are you getting a strobe-capable driver or just a steady light?
