there are plenty of original MM around right now due to people upgrading to the Mini2 or MA2,so you should be able to get one reasonably cheaply ,you may be able to get one from DJI ,just the drone ,the alternative would be to try and sell you MM stuff and then go for the Mini2,which although the same size as the MM it has a better flight envelope and improved RC transmission ,you could even use the MM batteries in the Mini2 ,but unfortunately not the props ,its really down to you ,sorry for the loss of your drone@old man mavic i have a question. I just got the mini a few days ago. Used from a friend. 500 bucks with a lot of extra parts.And I lost it in the river. I have all these extra batteries and blades and remotes and parts but no drone. Is there a cheap way to replace just the drone itself? Or should I sell parts and move on?
