> [@CSB73](#): > > What’s your thoughts on 3rd party kit namely charging hubs? I think as long as you go reputable brand/seller with lots of good feedback then all is good. I’m only reluctant with anything that physically plugs into the mains that isn’t branded or manufacturers own ---

Fair point, Chris. Brand is VCUtech (being truthful - I’d never heard of it) on the plus side it does get 4.6/5 over 336 reviews on Amazon. It does seem a decent bit of kit but admittedly it isn’t DJI. ---

I have the C1 versions of the strobons (red & green) and they are fantastic. Only thing to note is that they weigh 4g each so take you right up to the 250g limit ---

> [@milkmanchris](#): > > Not for a Mini 😉 > > Hand catch and launch every time. Tried that with my previous mini and first time cut my finger open! I got the mini 2 replaced in case I had done any damage to it - one prop broke - but after 7 months haven’t flown her yet - will need to pluck up the courage to do it via my hand again. ---

I was out using my mini 2 for the first time yesterday and managed to hand launch and land a couple of dozen times without any problems. I just made sure I kept my hand perfectly flat. Even though the grass had just been cut it was still long enough to interfere with the props on take off. Never knew they were powerful enough to do any serious damage, I’ll probably worry about that on the next flight and cut myself 😂 ---

> [@FFf](#): > > Keep your hand flat. Don’t try and grip the Mini. Think of feeding a horse. That’s my problem - I am allergic to horses 😂 😂 But I do need to get my Mini 2 up as I can hear my Air 2 even at 100m or so - not very discreet. I am hoping the mini 2 is quieter. ---

Do you have a linky to any good lanyards. I struggle to see how you would attach easily to the controller. ---

It’s a bit big to tuck in a pocket and I don’t want to put it down on the snow, so changing batteries is a bit of a juggle and a faff. Ideally, looking for one that can stay attached all the time rather than one that has to be taken off to close the controller up. Have found a few with a Google, but would be good to get a recommendation or two. Ta slight_smile ---

I have two Strobon crees, one white and one red, that clip to the back arms with @ash2020 ’s 3D printed clips. They help with visibility in the air, especially once daylight is fading away. The total weight is just under 250g. I think there is a discount available to full members for the Strobon strobe lights ---
