just noticed that my Mini2 has over 1000km on it now in about 440 days.  Still on the original props.   How is yours doing?

That's impressive for such a small drone. How are the motors doing, do the motor bells have any play? Still turning smoothly?

Everything is like the day it was new.   Apart from dust that sticks to the hinges.   Although I blow that off with compressed air from time to time.

Sounds like you can put at least another 1000km on it. Right on!

Quite possibly,   Im currently working towards the same on Mini3.  already have 276km on that drone in about 1 month with 1 battery.  

Hello there DAFlys. Good day and congratulations in hitting this milestone on your DJI Mini 2. Again, thank you for your support and keep flying. .

Thank you Stephen.  It’s a testament to how good the mini 2 was made.

Great milestone David. Or should that be Kilometre stone?   

Congrats DA.    That's quite an accomplishment and attests to the Mini 2's durability.

776miles doesn’t seem that grand.   It’s 1050km now btw.

Cheers DT. Added another 20km since then too.  Mini3 is catching up at 276km.

I'm gladI went out at dawn this morning when it was still and cool. Too hot now and quite breezy.

I’m out walking and confirm it’s too hot.  But at least I’ve got brown legs now.

Mine are too pale to be shown in public

1210km and 437 days here... Also still using the original props.

Although, I did swap them out for the triple blade props for about 10 flights.

Nice one,  Ive had mine 465 days but in that time Ive also put some mileage on the Mini3 and Mavic 2 Pro.

You have to start somewhere.

Well then it seems the Mini 3 Pro is getting some favorable treatment as in getting picked to fly more.  

Changed my props on my Mini 2 just to be on the safe side. Have had it almost a year with no crashes or rain. Great little drone, way to go DJI.

grats on that mileage

307 on that one now,   would have been more but we had torrential rain yesterday afternoon,  you know when all the chores are done and dusted.

Hey, count me too but with the original mini 1.

But unfortunately, my mini 1 grounded forever (maybe) for now.

Isn't that the way it always seems to happen.  You're indoors getting things done and just as you finish and head outdoors the skies open up.  

Today is the first non-rain day in a week.  Was looking forward to getting the Mini 3 Pro up in the air, but alas wind gusts up to 35 mph stopped me.  I did try the Air 2S first but got high wind warnings right away so landed and gave up on flying today.

Its not worth the risk is it,   I had the same winds the other afternoon,  was quite the surprise.

DAFlys Posted at 6-19 04:01

My mini 1 cant enter bind mode, and wont connet to the remote.
It looks like some component has a short circuit on the mainboard, which prevents the drone from activating bind mode. But that's okay, I will take it to repair shop later haha

This is my last total milage with mini until grounded now

Wow,  that beats me,  my total is 1847km.  With that mileage on the Mini1 I think you should treat yourself to an upgrade.

For sure.  I didn't want to lose the Mini 3 Pro on the first real flight.  I knew if the Air 2S was getting wind warnings that it was no use trying to get the Mini 3 Pro up.  I just have to accept that the weather is what it is and I have no choice but to try again another day.  

Sent you a PM.

I did test fly mine in 35mph winds,  and it did OK,  but of course if you have to fly into wind you need sports mode and accept its going to be slow.

You are much braver than me as 25 mph is about my upper limit for risk.

Hi there DAFlys. You are very much welcome and thank you for the reply. Have a safe and a happy flying always Captain. .

I wouldn't fly the mini3 near water in those winds but over land I can land and go fetch it,  and I always follow the rule that I fly into wind and only until I get to 70% battery then I bring it back.

Sounds like a very viable plan.
