  1. Very explanatory video Simon, may have to treat myself to one, I have the mini 2 and mini 3, so maybe wait just in case they do come out with a 5, 🤞Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

  2. I have my M4P and changed obstacle avoidance to Nifty mode right away, so far it has been awesome. I had to use Nifty or Manual mode to fly in my back yard because of Mulberry trees and I suck at Manual mode still. I can say it handled steady 20mph winds pretty well. The gusts from 10 to 20, or over 20 mph, not so much.
    I have crashed it twice.

    The first time because I pushed the battery down to 3.35v per cell and it just plain QUIT flying, from 20' up.
    I am disappointed in that, since I know these are Li-Po and not Li-Ion, they should be able to go down to 2.5v before the drop off.
    I totally suspect this is DJI software/firmware controlled.
    So I treat them like Li-Ion now and once they get to 3.45v under load, I land and they bounce back to 3.5v.

    The second time because I got bird struck, territorial robin. Replaced the props on the second one. Not a big deal, nothing but minor prop damage on either crash.

    I really wish it has 3x optical zoom, then it would "see" about the same scale I see. (about 2.9 zoom is "real life scale" on this sensor)
    3x zoom while flying really requires a high shutter speed to not be all blurry.
    /EDIT ADD: I changed to max speed for M mode and flew on Cruise Control out of controller video feed range intentionally. It flew about 800'-900' past signal loss and returned home just fine, three times.
    I know how far it went just because it recorded to the drone, even with signal loss and I went and measured it. LOL

    I got 6 batteries total, two charger ports and a stand alone Anker 100w three port charger, 30w per port.
    I can charge all batteries and the controller in about 4 hours.

    Nice review, feels like you covered all the important things.
