Clear Casing Mavic Mini - Very Interesting Mod

[A Poor Kingpin]

I just recently watched this video from youtube and I thought it was cool!

And now that making new cases is possible, what do you guys think of the possibility of finding the best thermoset plastic that is stronger and lighter than the origibal case??

What do you guys think?

I think you need a girlfriend! That's a crazy amount of time spent! I remember Apple made a few clear case iPhones.

There's a lot of things to be optimistic about this!

1.) You can essentially have unlimited casings for your drone, so you wont even ever have to worry breaking it.
2.) You can get longer flight times due to lower weight of casings
3.) Knowing that this could be done, it opens up a new world for modders!

Here's a link of about a modded frame:

Mini frame mod for experienced builders

Hi everyone. Let me describe the modification of Mavic Mini that I made during this winter, for which I already received requests from people who visited my introduction thread. The main purpose of the mod was to make MM more resistant to wind, and consequentally less inclined to fly away in...

Some of the pros of the mod above can be attributed to any frame/casing mod.

That must have taken a lot of time to do!! Kind of the opposite of getting a hi-vis colour wrap ?

It could lead to internal lighting with no exterior attachments creating high visibility especially at dawn or sunset. Kind of a “glow in the dark” full body illumination.

I personally didn't care too much for this case until I read your post. I like the idea of internal lighting, especially towards the end of the day.

I think it looks cool. Good job... lots of work but I’d like one.

Nice mod with lots of potential. If they become ready made commercially I might consider one, but at the age of 66 I don't know if I have enough time left on this planet to actually start and finish making my own ?
