Finally broke down & got myself a Mavic Mini. I hopped on the Microcenter website one afternoon & noticed that they had the fly more combo on sale for $250, so I ran down there & got me one.
I was a little disappointed after setup as I live in an authorization zone & had to figure out how to fly here. That was a PITA. And still every time I have to authorize, which is every 3 days, the drone fights me.
After that though, the bad marks stop. This is one hella cool toy. I might even stop short of that and call it a tool. Wanna check out something on the roof? Too easy. No ladders involved. Too lazy to get up & see if the trails are muddy? No problem mon.
I've been into RC for probably 40 years, but this stuff is on another level. The range is insane! The only limitation, assuming I keep radio line of sight, is the battery. This thing will run for miles and keep good signal. Flies well in the wind too. Images, considering this drone is under 250 grams, are off the chain. The gimbal works amazingly well. It returns seamless video as I'm flying.
I liked it so much after the 1st flight I went & bought another kit :happy:. Feels like the beginning of a long, awesome, expensive relationship
