How did you get 50 minutes of flight time? Was it one flight? I love my Mini, but 50 minutes sounds like its impossible without some special battery modification! The video quality is superbly awesome really, especially the 2.7K 30fps video, WOW! The 1080p is also good, especially the 50fps & 60fps - but the 1080p should be used for Sports and moving objects and scenery! What impresses me so very much is the fact that the little drone can fly so far away combined with the quality of the video! This combination can give some absolutely amazingly beautiful video shots! This is why for us Europe Mavic Mini Pilots (CE models) the FCC Hack is so tempting, especially in the city where the 2.4ghz band channels are all red and full of interference all the time. The FCC Hack doubles the normal, stock CE models' range in the 5.8ghz band channels, so about 1km of solid, excellent video in the city!
I wish all Minis could go the same 4km distance that DJI advertises! You know even on my box, of my CE Mini it says 4km maximum range! How is this correct to the customer?
Anyway, I'll most definitely be doing some awesome flying after work today! My Mini is already all charged up and ready to zip around and make some beautiful videos, take some stunning pictures...
PS: be very careful in the desert! It sounds like a lot of tiny little sand particles that have the potential to get inside the finest seams the Mini has! It could do some some very bad damage to your BL motors, all 4 are at risk even with the motor caps! If sand gets inside the body of the Mini that could be really bad, especially also the camera gimbal! Taking your Mini to the beach could really really damage it! The only way I'd ever make a video of the beach is if I take off from my hand(hand launch) and land back in my hand (hand landing).
I haven't had any problems with my Mini so far, I hope it stays this way forever - or at least for a very long time...
cool cool
