    How to Protect MM Propellers when folded ...

    I find it awkward if the props aren’t fixed because in the combo case they swivel around and catch the case edges.

    How to Protect MM Propellers when folded ...

    I use Velcro strips. Just wrap them around and they hold nice and snug.

    Pilot to drone orientation icon on the bottom of the fly screen

    I think I may have a cure. It works for me anyway. Stand about ten feet from the MM before take off. It doesn’t seem to like being too close to the RC.

    STAY HOME YES, NO,

    I’m still going out to work. They’ve furloughed 75% of our drivers but I can multitask and drive plant as well as trucks. Not flown the mini for over a month due to the weather. Can’t use cameras at work for security reasons so can’t fly there during the week. But I’m working there alone...

    Ideal amount of batteries? How many batteries do you have?

    Had 3, but I only have 2 now since my tree incident. I’m still learning so 2 is enough for now. I’ll probably buy another before my holiday later in the year.

    Map beacon

    Owned my drone 4 weeks. Flew it once xD

    I’m a new pilot, but even I know to trust in my instincts as much as technology. I use UAV forecast set to 200ft to give me a 24hr prediction, but I still watch the tall trees on the next estate to my home. I’ve not flown for about four weeks but I’ll wait it out. Can’t afford to lose my mini.

    Mavic Mini Wraps>250g?

    I know. That’s why this guy went and tried scales at all his neighbours.

    Mavic Mini Wraps>250g?

    I saw someone weigh one with the MM sticker pack on and it came in at 251g. So a wrap will definitely be over.

    Should I buy?

    I’ve not had a problem yet (apart from a tree suddenly growing where I was flying) unfortunately I’ve still not got enough flights under my belt due to the weather. So far mines been great for a first drone.

    iPhone Max and MM remote

    If the max is the same size as my old iPhone 6XL then they fit with room to spare.
