And in typical fashion I just had an email from DJI saying these are available now: [https://www.dji.com/product/mavic-mini-propeller-holder](https://www.dji.com/product/mavic-mini-propeller-holder) Two week delivery time though 🙄 ---

Along side [the compact mains plug/charger above](https://greyarro.ws/t/dji-mavic-mini-fly-as-you-are/10387/400), I also bought another one to test too, at £7 quid: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M1BOORQ/](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M1BOORQ/) It’s similar in size, but the plug pins fold differently. Two USB ports instead of three, but that’s fine, still allows the battery hub and controller to charge together. ![16](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/8/e85d371eeb33b91b3695b5c1045b9714c36abacf.jpeg) ![23](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/d/bdd5625f7f9ef735e4f14083ec4c669576e62115.png) All the pins fold flush: ![30](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/7/874b0164e9882afbe0dc0d4a934fa5f523b4d628.png) ![35](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/4/b4a5e1ff070f733fb096f6208a76baf2a8442d57.png) Equally as snug a fit in the case: ![40](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/5/a595a574769c03ea3c6ad2ccde37a30d52258efd.png) I was going to send the black one back to Amazon, but it’s now in the Osmo Pocket case instead as it fits there snugly too 😊 ---

1 week gone, still waiting for my MM. Fed up, will never ever buy directly from dji ![Screenshot_20191115-082056_Chrome](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/1/5/1562bbe5fb22697e445fbae82bdb781519a3f573.jpeg) ---

That one probably arrived at East Midlands via Hong Kong early this morning. Keep an eye on the tracking as it will update when it clears customs and is unpacked from bulk container. Fingers crossed could expect delivery later today. If you live chat with DJI they can give you the bulk consignment number for tracking. ---

Thought I’d do another quick test flight at lunchtime today. DJI had other ideas. FFS… ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/b/8b483397d4bc185b1e20007f3c3692ad53b89754.jpeg) Aircraft locked, couldn’t even start the rotors. I’ve not missed _any_ of this shit with DJI 😕 Took approx 20mins to update - details to follow in a new thread. Mental note, put the phone in airplane mode before turning on the RC. It’s been sooooo long since I had to do any of this stuff. ---

Do it the other way around, like I do. Dedicated phone permanently in airplane mode. 😉 ---

I could, but the whole point of this drone (for me) was to stick it in my pocket for quick use when out and about. I don’t really way to carry other devices, that’s what the MP and I1 are for 😊 ---

A vast amount of drone use is in places with no mobile anything … jungles, deserts, oceans, the Arctic and Antarctic … so it will never be stopped. ---

Nothing similar on IOS? ---
