    Mavic mini CE version not so bad

    My understanding is that stock limit on the CE Mini is not 200m, it's 500m at 5.8ghz and 2000m at 2.4ghz. Model MR1SS5 5.8 GHz: 4000 m (FCC); 2500 m (SRRC) Model MR1SD25 2.4 GHz: 2000 m (MIC/CE) 5.8 GHz: 500 m (CE) Also the antenna is way weaker in the CE. Model MT1SS5 5.8 GHz: <30 dBm...

    Corrupted mp4 video file on Mini camera

    I had this happen, it was because I turned off the drone before I had stopped a recording. All I had to do was put the SD card back in the drone and power it on, and it fixed the file automatically.

    Mavic Mini Short Flyaway

    Here is my log: DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com FW version is v01.00.0300 - App is 1.0.1 (Flyaway is at 0m 40s and appears to start when the 10th satellite connects.) I took my Mini out to grab a shot of the sunrise this morning, gusts were only 15mph at max. I wanted to get a quick...
