    No waypoints is a showstopper for me. Won't be buying the Mavic Mini now.

    Everything you may want to know about Mavic Mini

    I've heard it will not work with the Goggles since they require Ocusync and the Mini only has wifi connection to the remote.

    New Drone Laws June 1, 2019

    I haven't read everything thoroughly but it looks like other than the requirement to register your drone and get a drone pilot certificate, the rules have mostly been relaxed.

There is a charge of $76.56 for "brokerage fees" (what UPS thinks they should be paid for collecting $14.62 for the government). I...
