    Good job and they look great! Does the skin wrap around the bottom or leave the bottom open?

    Acquire New DJI Mini 2 By A Mistake

    Good suggestions about USB-C PD charger. I'll order one. Regarding the colors of the skin, it's hard no matter what. The time of the day or the weather condition will make the choice hard or arbitrary. The size is the main factor. It's a lot easier with Mavic pro size. I'll wait for a...

    Acquire New DJI Mini 2 By A Mistake

    Yesterday, I mistakenly went shopping in Costco because I unexpectedly picked up the Mini 2. $439.99 apparently is decent given with an extra spare battery and a nice carry care. [OK, I own a classic Mavic pro and a Mavic 2 pro. I use them weekly. I still have great fun with them. ] I enjoyed...

    Can't find Mavic Pro battery suppliers, please share your finds

    Freshness is the key for these kinds of batteries. As far as the PowerExtra, I have 2 of them. Overall they are ok. I’ve been using them for over the past three years although I had logged some complaints about the temperature readings which you can find in the forum here. The rest of my 4...

    Mavic 2 Battery Retention

    BTW, I also use the Brocoon Sticky Back Tape Fastener. It weighs only 1.5g. It's super strong and very light. See the two pictures.

    Mavic Pro batteries

    It can still be found in Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/DJI-Intelligent-Flight-Battery-Quadcopter/dp/B084Z7HF6K/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=OEM+Mavic+pro+battery&qid=1615010179&sr=8-3 US$99 is still acceptable given that it is a brand new OEM and discontinued model. What's important is the...

    Third Party Quiet Propellers Flexed/Touched Front Arms

    The flapping direction should be upward if the pressure is from top upon ascending. In this case, the flex won't touch anything. In contrast, a sudden descending action, the pressure is from the bottom (the drone body) and the propellers must be working hard to push the weight downwards. Due...

    Third Party Quiet Propellers Flexed/Touched Front Arms

    Your scratched marks are deeper and more severe too than mine because yours is MPP with different motors from my M1P. Besides yours was a hacked version of variant flight parameters. Of course, on top of it is the possible bad batch of props. These might explain why I don't have problem with...

    Third Party Quiet Propellers Flexed/Touched Front Arms

    I'd posted one complaint long time back about an overcurrent issue quoted below. Ok, the situation was different from yours, i.e. in ascending rather than descending. Of course, I cannot be certain that I was using this set of propellers. However, I think that the degrees of flex could induce...

    Third Party Quiet Propellers Flexed/Touched Front Arms

    I like your way in checking whether the props touch the arms/body of the drone and I'll adopt this method. It seems that your issue was with the DJI OEM quiet props, was it not? In my case, the DJI ones are perfectly fine. Thank you for sharing.
