Hi! So out of the blue, I've decided to get into drone photogrammetry, mapping/survey. Any advice on where to start? I was thinking of changing my Mini 2 for a proper drone and learning but adding all the costs of drone + courses + software and we break the bank. Another option I was thinking of...

For DJI Mini For Other Drones

The back story, in December I've decided it is time to buy my first drone. I am going straight to the DJI website, send the Mini 2 to the basket, fill in my card details, the card gets declined. Strange, couple more tries, nothing. After some chatting with DJI support I've been advised to try a...

Same experience here, from the UK, but with the regular Care Refresh. I was presented with the express option when I was making my booking, but at that moment I thought this is paid extra, so decided to go for the basic, even that I was 100% sure, the drone is totalled and I will have to pay the...

I am sorry to hear that :/ If we start to dig, we'll probably end up in politics talk :D I also had an argument with DJI, about payment, they have a contract with PayPal, basically, when you try to buy something from their website with a debit card, they decline your card on purpose and force...

Great stuff, Alex! Looks like you travel a lot :) Yesterday I've spent quite some time on your Youtube channel, as I saw you had a video around Cherven Bryag and the village of Reselets, I was looking for some footage of Eco Village Reselets, AKA Reselets Dam. Please check the link HERE to...

Hello Triffid I've used Care Refresh for my Mini 2 just a few days ago, also UK based, so had to ship it to the Netherlands. But I did not pay any duty or customs charges. Did you follow the instructions from DJI on how to ship it? No duties apply. The following text is copied from the DJI...

I knew it was not only me :D Every time I am getting the battery out of my mini 2, I have this nasty feeling my hand will slip and knock out the battery door (which is attached with only 2 atoms) :D Great invention, love those little engineering ideas, which solve actual problems!

UPDATE 2.0 Let's start fresh. Lesson learned! I am very happy with the support from DJI, totally recommend the Care Refresh Plan! They've even posted back the 1 propeller, I've dropped in the box while packaging my old drone, this speaks enough! Looking forward to the upcoming adventures ?

Yep plug the hub straight in with the USB cable, it takes about an hour and a bit to charge 1 empty battery, so 3-4 hour for all 3 batteries.

PowerBank This is the one I am using for everything, lasts ages. Charges with the same speed as the 18w power adapter, I am almost certain it charges my iPad faster than its factory 15w plug. Have a look at the RavPower range, they've got everything from small power banks to big 240v.

Thank you! Should be here tomorrow! I've already planned my first bike-packing trip, so it goes straight to business :D

UPDATE Damh, bank holidays :D

Well, let's not forget it is Chinese.

You might want to rethink that, does not make sense, really. What if you live in Texas and your backyard is 1000s sq. meters. Or you are the Queen and you "own" 1/6 of the world :D
