    Does anyone use landing gear extensions for the Mini 2?

    Mine too. I have some extensions that came with a used mini 2 Kit that I bought, never use them but I put them on once and weighed the whole thing. Not over 250 g on the Mini 2

    Going from Mavic Pro MP1 to Mini 2, couple of questions.

    I agree - it is a cool little flyer, and very nimble! Of course, I thought the same thing when I moved from a Phantom 3 Pro to the Mavic Pro Platinum years ago. 😀 For the Mini 2, I keep an old iPhone 6s Plus in the controller all the time. Makes it quick and easy to just throw it up and go fly!

    3rd party app that allows control via on screen joysticks?

    Ahhh, I see now... didn't know you were talking about phone still connected to RC. I don't know anything about virtual joystick emulator apps or how to run them on top of other apps - such as fly or go4. Hopefully someone who does know about such things will come along shortly. Good luck

    3rd party app that allows control via on screen joysticks?

    To do what you're asking for, your drone would need more than just a 3rd party app.... it would have to have a way to communicate directly with your phone/device. Sorry, but your Mini 2 does not. My Mavic Pro Platinum has a switch on the side, in one position it communicates with the RC as...

    Lost 1st drone..... like a rookie

    See the first sentence in the last paragraph in post #17 I don't think this is the place to get into the mechanics of how the insurance industry works, I simply posted what my agent told me

    Lost 1st drone..... like a rookie

    Did any of that have anything to do with making a claim on a lost or stolen drone listed on a PAP (personal articles policy)?

    Lost 1st drone..... like a rookie

    I have seen this said by others in this forum in the past. And according to my agent, it's just not true. My wife and I have homeowners, auto, and a Personal Articles Policy with State Farm. The PAP covers several drones, jewelry, cameras, my daughter's laptop, etc. While listing the last...

    3 Right place at the right time

    Right place, right time - right music. I thoroughly enjoyed that one... makes me want to dig in and figure out how to cast to my big screen TV, and find my good headphones! :) Total immersion...

    Go 4 v4.3.60 Released - Any issues

    Does DJI publish changelogs for anything? Go4, Fly, or any drone models? I've done cursory searches in the past but never found anything.

    Mavic Pro launch in NF Zone

    In case the OP is not familiar with NLD, I ~think~ what he's ^^^ saying is: The Mavic Pro and MPP firmware can be modified by software from the No Limit Drones website to eliminate DJI Geozone interference to your flights... cost ~$40. No more hassle with that then, just stay legal with the...

    Renewal of log in code... too many attemps..

    But... wouldn't you have to be logged in to do that? 🙃

    Flying High

    Why not just use a mapping app and stitch the photos together? See the answers to the OP in this thread about mapping software and techniques. https://mavicpilots.com/threads/above-the-400-threshold.140996/#post-1591932

    Original mavic pro and dji go 4 app

    I'll give a 👍 for Litchi 🙂... waypoints function is great, planning a mission on your computer is the icing on the cake. You can also do 'faux fpv' by putting your phone in a pair of inexpensive VR goggles... lots of other neat functions too. I also like Go4 much better than the new Fly app...
