MAVIC MINI: Anyone modified the shell / colour ?

Nice skins. The one thing I noticed was that I could no longer fit the prop guards on without a struggle. I ended up cutting away the skin where the prop guard has to fit on my MM and now I can pop them on and off without a hassle.

The shell of my Mini was purple and green for about a month. I got distracted smoking and opening a Monster while flying low at a friends last year. Long story short, poor lil Mini slammed into a blackberry shrub at about 20 mph.

Here is mine. I chose a yellow skin in hopes that it would improve visibility. Didn’t really help. I have reflective tape on the rear of the arms and will get the occasional flash from the sun so that helps a bit.

Skinned in a subdued orange. Got the kit from Amazon for around $20 3m air release so you can adjust and remove until you get junk on the sticker side. Easy to see on ground & air strobe covers visible in daytime well over 800 ft.

RCStyle strobe also around $20
Should be FAA bright very similar to Firehouse.
I use a single ND32 PL Freewell filter almost always.

Yes, i turned mine into obsidian / gun metal grey to match my P4P. Checkout my posts.
 
The Wet Suits are a quick way to Change the Color of your Mini 2

The forum members get all 3 Colors : Neon Red : Neon Blue and Black
and provide protection to fly in the rain and now come with Prop Covers to keep out Salt / Sand and Stones.

I imagine the strobe helps spotting the Mini a lot.
 
I magine very little difference.
The only time it really makes a difference is when you have lost it in the bush or the trees that bright color really helps you find you drone.

@zeusfl just lost his drone the M3 , and he is wishing he would have had the Neon Color Wet Suit on so he can find it.

You have a point about spotting it in the bush - bright orange will be much better than the basic camouflage grey.
