Last week I managed to crash my drone under a bridge over a canal. Oops nothing to do with the 3 pubs I’d visited earlier with scubahead@scubahead.

So a bit like riding a bike when you fall off you get back on so a new drone was ordered. I did think about holding out for the DJI Mini 3 but I didn’t really want to wait another month as I'm off to Egypt in a few weeks.

So the new DJI Mini2 arrived along with a pile of small upgrades that I had on the last one.
First of all, it’s the Master Airscrew props and motor covers.

I’ve gone for orange props this time. Next, it’s the high-vis orange skin to make the small drone a bit easier to spot.

The guy that supplies them does a wonderful job they are all very accurately pre-cut

With excellent instructions

And once fitted a blow-over with a heat gun or hairdryer activates the glue and shrinks them a bit for a good fit.

Lastly, it's a set of operator number details to keep things legal.

And a quick check to make sure its all still under the 250G limit
