> [@chrisjohnbaker](#): > > WHO FORGOT TO PUT A MEDIA CARD IN THE FECKIN THING @sparkman999 gave me a great tip when we met earlier in the year, he has a brand new unopened SD in his car. I went one better and keep one in my wallet. Its saved me already. When I ‘need’ a new card the bought one replaces the 64GB from the wallet ---

Nicely done AirData, that was seriously quick support/integration 👏🏻 ---

I spent some time this evening with the drone powered on (the table) and just going through all the calibrations (IMU, Compass, Gimbal, Controller). Went through every single setting in the app for the camera. Guys, it’s really sparse 😱 Without doubt aimed at the beginner. But that said, I want this drone to capture those sunrises when on the early morning dog walks, those quick shots above the freezing fog when at the lakes, etc. So being able to stick the drone in one coat pocket and the controller in the other pocket, both weighing next to nothing, then being able to quickly get up in the air without needing to cart my usual crate load of accessories around? The Mini should be _ideal_. Itching to try a flight now, I’m ready to go! ---

Still gutted it’s JPG only too, no RAW 😭 ---

So … no RAW and no manual white-balance … hmm … good sunrises/sunsets could be a bit difficult. GoPro on top? 😉 ---

## REMINDER to everyone who rushed out to buy from Argos… Don’t forget you’ve only got 48hrs to buy/activate DJI Care Refresh, without having to jump through hoops. I just bought mine from [DJI.com](http://DJI.com) for £35, just had to enter the serial number at the checkout and it was job done. ---

> [@PingSpike](#): > > being able to stick the drone in one coat pocket and the controller in the other pocket You could do that with the MP though, right? Depending on the size of the pockets 😬 If you had the MP and just the controller in the fly more bag on your walks, the MP and the Mini would require the same amount of set up time, right? May be a bit more for the Mini as you have to screw the sticks into the controller. Talking myself out of temptation 🤔 ---

From previous experience, that it says it’s still in China doesn’t mean that it is … > [@DJI Mavic Mini (Fly As You Are)](https://greyarro.ws/t/dji-mavic-mini-fly-as-you-are/10387/314): > > My M2P was about 2 days after that point. Dont be surprised if you dont have any further tracking info until it is sorted at East Midlands. They leave DJI in a bulk consignment under the one number so there are no tracking points while it’s in the container. ---
