    Mini RC battery drains in 30 minutes

    Lucky DJI are fixing 4his what a horrible issue to have on a new release. Was. It enough of an upgrade for me to jump from mini 1 to 2 though...

    Wait... Is that a Mavic Mini.... OBSIDIAN?!?!

    Why yes... yes it is! #customized After my DJI Care ran out, I decided to rip this apart - something I have never done before with a drone; but 8t was small and fairly straight forward once you watch a teardown video... So, I stripped each piece down, sprayel painted this and put it back...

    MAVIC MINI 2 - UPDATE | Latest Leaked Photos and Spec Info

    I read this...then I read: *sigh* ? What's the point of changing video transmission on an ENTRY level product like this, which is supposed to be a step (or steps) up from V1 - that's not going to work with EXISTING DJI ocusync releases?! Backwards. Marginally better flight time, upgrades...

    MAVIC MINI: Anyone modified the shell / colour ?

    I've gone to an upmarket auto shop to use scanning technology to best match the matte dark grey that DJI call "obsidian black". I'll paint it this colour to match by Obsidian P4P. The catch is my drone is under warranty. So, I've instead purchased a second shell, which I will sand, prep and...

    MAVIC MINI: Anyone modified the shell / colour ?

    The colour looks great; the grey gaps make it look horrendous. Maybe the old custom mixed paint or even nail polish is the way to go? I imagine the paint voids the warranty though.. I'd personally like to match the obsidian black that was released on Phantom 4 Pros.

    Props: are we sure it’s just how we put it away?

    Props can "lack thrust"? If not screwed on, visibly bent or 3rd party non OEM where they weigh more, sure... But lack thrust?

    Props: are we sure it’s just how we put it away?

    Yes i know, that's why he posted the graphs. Question is, whats gone so absurdy wrong to review the deeper stats in the dat to begin with?

    Proper storage?

    I have the exact same prop guard and colour. It's not the best to keep them in place ALL the time...sometimes the props slide out, but it's the best option without causing unnecessary pressure downwards on the props so as NOT to force them closer to the body...and thus, run a risk of causing...

    Mini photo quality

    You have pretty high expectations id a 249g plastic drone isn't taking good enough photos for a 2K sensor. Maybe try under different lighting conditions, against the sun, parallel to the sun, or even grab a filter set (unless you prefer to play around in post in Lr or Ps)...but from some images...

    Mavic Mini 2

    No mention of it...and it's hard to say when (or better yet, IF) MM2 is going to be released. Mavic Air was released January 2018, with the newer model coming 2 and a bit years later. You might be able to use that as a guide as I believe the mini has been very popular in a lot of international...

    Props: are we sure it’s just how we put it away?

    What exactly are you asking...why are the 2 rear motors spinning at diffent speeds? Or, are the props causing this? I'm not sure why you'd need to refer to the .dat file in the first place unless you were facing some significant problems or a huge drop in battery life. Are you experiencing...

    MAVIC MINI: Anyone modified the shell / colour ?

    Looks good @Sparky Drone . I got my P4P spickers from istyles...at least, I'm pretty sure I did. Their website looks a lit different now. Took a while to apply the full body decal with the heat gun
