The replacement I received looked brand new. It may have been a refurb, but if so, I couldn't tell it. I'd been wanting the Mini 2 for some time, but felt boxed in. I didn't feel comfortable selling the old Mini because it had been thru too many crashes and was banged up some. I didn't want to...

Almost certainly a Mavic Mini 2. I was very pleased with the Mini, but the Mini2 will be an improvement. YouTube is full of comparisons... The portability is the best thing about them, IMO. The video and image quality (of the Mini) are plenty good for my needs, so the Mini2 will be a step...

Another fine project from Dale. Thank you!

Yep. I see what you mean - your exposure is consistent, mine is all over the place. Thanks and happy flying

Well done! Great slo mo

Every time you close a car door you risk getting your fingers smashed. If you're like most of us, you keep your fingers out of the way, no problem. Same thing with hand landing. After doing it correctly just a few times it gets to be second nature - usually. ;)

I gave my Nikon D90 to a stranger and walked away - out onto the arch. Handing that camera to someone else was difficult! :( Sounds like we're both ready for a road trip! LOL
