Case and bracket arrived today.

Use FLYTPATH at checkout for a little bit of a discount. (As always, many thanks to Aldryn for his generosity!)

How are you liking that case layout?

If you put the controller in the bag sideways, do the lanyard mounts stiil interfere with it fitting?

I absolutely love it. GPC cases are great! I am using the FMK bags for spare batteries, but that's not an issue. If this case falls out of the canoe/boat I know the bird will be fine.

For the European folks (and even the UK lot!) I buy my cases from MC-Cases. They're very very good and customer service is excellent. Arrived by DHL in a few days once they had made the inserts.

I signed up for in stock notice on both the reg and plus on DJI site and no news yet. I ended up arranging a swap with someone local to swap one of my plus for one of his reg (which gives me 2 reg and one plus) which works better when I travel. Do you already have a FMK, if so, maybe check is someone is willing to swap local.

sounds cool, maybe upload some video for us to see. Had a close encounter with a Hummingbird as I was coming in for the landing. Bird hovers like 2ft from the back of drone as I was bringing it down to land. Would have been fun if it was in front so I can get a shot.

I have humming birds outside my kitchen window all day. If i keep the drone about 4ft from the feeder, they'll still come feed.

I ordered that one as well, and looking at the pic it looks like the right choice.  I ordered it June 7, and it has been in transit from China for 4 days now.  Looking at tracking my best guess is I'll have it at the end of the week, so about 9 days.

Got in a few more accessories.

Screen protector:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1QF ... t_b_product_details





Come with both wet and dry cleaning wipes, perfect fit and easy to install, Clean with wet wipe and remove any dust particles with dry wipe, remove the backing and line it up on one of the short edge and then lay it down and press toward the other edge. I probably spent more time cleaning and making sure there's no dust particles than the actual lay down process. All done in just a few minutes. The post below about the Neck Strap is with the screen protector installed.

This is the Neck Strap I mentioned before. The mounting post are long so you won't be able to fit it back into the FM bag with them installed.

Omg! I go crazy with accessories!
  
Here's what I've ordered so far. All the names are clickable to the DJI Store Page, PolarPro or Amazon. All prices are in GBP (British Pounds). None are affiliate links, just straight forward tips for you guys

So far...
£159.00 - DJI Mini 3 Pro Fly More Kit
Arrived same day as the Mini 3 Pro. 100% recommend getting it. Hopefully you/myself won't need to use the replacement props. The bag is pretty nice, holds everything perfectly.

£52.81 - DJI Mini 3 Pro ND Filters Set (ND 16/64/256).Bought after I ordered the m3P. Quick postage. Great quality. Only negative point is trying to get them out of the box is a bit fidderly / hard to get a grip on them.

£21.99 - SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB MicroSD
Bought two of these, one for the RC and the other for the m3P. I ALLWAYS use Sandisk! I had one memory card failure on a paid photoshoot... completely ruined everything! Since then I've always used GENUINE SanDisk cards. Don't buy them if they're cheap, cause they're probably not genuine.

£46.99 - Anker PowerCore III Wireless Power Bank
You can use this to charge your batteries in the field. (At your own discretion, of course). Works perfectly for me so far.

£24.99 - Flycoo Adjustable Lanyard for DJI Mini 3 Pro Neck Strap (Brand is SunnyLife).
Arrived today. Put it on the rc (one with the screen) just before. Fits perfectly. Great quality.

£9.89 - ZJRXM Mini 3 Pro Controller Stick Thumb Replacement Metal Aluminum Thumb Rocker Joysticks
These have yet to arrive, but they look good

£85.54 (With postage to the UK) - DJI Mini 3 Pro FX-3-Pack
They have a blue morphic filter. It's not an an Anamorphic filter, but it'll do for now.


£14.99 - STARTRC Mini 3 Pro HD Tempered Glass  
Took the sticky cover thing off, droped it onto the screen and it fit perfectly. No bubbles or anything like that.

£0.00 - Price unknown. Velcro for the propellers.
Simple little piece of red velcro for holding the propellers down. Yes, you can just tuck them in, but I'd prefer not risking them coming out / snapping.  
Also, always get the DJI Refresh Care. I've used it once before (for my mavic pro) and it was perfect. I wouldn't fly without it


Hope these suggestions help.
Happy flying
Dragonfyr

Ya could have done with a 30w output PB, that Anker you bought will be slow as hell, prob lucky if it can do a full charge in under 2 hours compared to the just under 1 hour with the 30w charger, that's if ya use the hub, add an extra 15mins or so if charging in the drone.

I like this lanyard from Amazon for the RC controller.
It's sturdy, comfortable with quick disconnects.

Anything that binds the props have the potential to deform them if you don't fly that often.  I went with the 2pcs setup further up on this page.

agreed it happened to me on my mini 2 and i almost lost that drone.  one of the most terrifying flights all because i wanted tidy props.  drone took off like normal and then it went crazy.  changed the props, all is fine.  further inspect of old props...never again do props needs to be held together.  there's a reason why dji does not recommend.

I heated up and stretched the strap 1/2 an inch. I think it will be fine.
