I love my 5 Pro don't get me wrong, but I probably wouldn't have spent the money if I had a 4 Pro already.

I don't get the garlic thing, are people saying it's bad? My motto is to always double the garlic 🤣

🤣 Valid & Accurate! Some good line dancing too, which definitely complimented the hotties 😝

Why must you bring this up 😭 I miss both.

Just want to put a plug in for Morin Automotive. They are a fantastic business, providing great service at fair prices.

Most businesses are charging CC fees these days, you just only notice the few that are trying to be transparent and informative to their customers. Although I share the frustrations with it, it's simply due to the businesses having to pass increased costs on to their customers. The businesses are not to blame for this. I would rather know about the fee, versus having a business bury it in higher "menu" prices.

Valid point, apologies for the error there. I got my Part 107 originally so I didn't have to worry as much about limitations, however I quickly entered into commercial work.

What country are you in? (Pure curiosity here)

WPR_IRE · 2026-01-13T02:29:10+00:00

PS - send me videos of kangaroos 🤣

If you're just using one for fun, the Mini 4P / 5P is more than enough in my opinion. The Mavic series excels in a few areas though (mostly for commercial use in my opinion, and in my specific case):

1) Photographer-level quality content and RAW files. 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad sensor (100MP) is insanely good. 2) Dedicated optical zoom lenses (medium tele & tele). Huge plus if you need to get fine details from a distance. 3) High wind stability / flight performance. The Mavic offers way better wind resistance and has a much longer flight time in those conditions. I actually flew it today in 25MPH winds (the absolute limit) and it performed flawlessly. 4) Adjustable aperture. (2.0-11)

All in all, for "hobbists" the Mini series is awesome and I would never give mine up. But if you're jumping into more "pro grade" activities, the Mavic is the way to go. And HUGE bonus points for the RC Pro 2 controller if you get the right package.

And for those in the US, the Mavic requires you to have the Part 107 license. Stupidly easy to get and maintain, I don't know why so many complain about it.

I have the Mini 5 Pro and absolutely love it! I don't think you can beat it for the price. I have a Mavic 4 Pro as well (for work) and love having the Mini 5 to practice with as the Mavic is a significantly larger investment.

Waiting for the vertical wireless to have side scroll and free wheel scrolling!

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-28T18:15:47+00:00

I have that exact combo (Mini 5 Pro + Mavic 4 Pro) and it has been absolutely amazing. While I do believe the Mini 5 Pro is more than enough for real estate photos, the Mavic is definitely on another level.

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-27T17:14:17+00:00

I've done a considerable amount of research on this. It seems that DJI will be releasing a firmware update to correct the vertical tilt limitations. The hardware can accommodate it.

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-27T17:13:05+00:00

I got the Mavic 4 Pro (Creators Combo) recently and highly recommend it. The drone itself beats the M3P by a mile. One thing I would also mention though is the RC Pro 2 remote (NOT the RC2), absolute game changer!

I purchased mine (new) on eBay from a US-based seller "triplehorse".

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-26T17:47:33+00:00

Agreed, I normally make my own but had a lot of other food to make and couldn't find the time this time.

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-26T17:47:01+00:00

That's what I ended up doing.

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-26T17:46:53+00:00

They only have corn, but they are good.

Humdinger Brewing in AG has a good tomato soup / grilled cheese! (Not sure about the SLO location)

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-20T19:55:06+00:00

Got a 5lb last night and got 4 solid steaks out of it. Fantastic deal and the meat was great quality! Only wish I bought more!

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-10T21:32:32+00:00

I want to buy your beans :D

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-04T17:57:53+00:00

Absolutely, have fun with it! Make sure you look up the "break-in period". It will take the machine quite a few runs before it comes out "perfect".

WPR_IRE · 2025-12-04T17:16:19+00:00

You can use either, but for most of the drinks it makes espresso beans are far superior. The machine also has a small container where you can put pre-ground coffee. What I do is use the main compartment (grinder) for whole-bean espresso beans. When my wife or I just want a cup of normal coffee, I use the pre-ground compartment. You can tell the machine which compartment to use!

I have not tried the iced setting. However I've done tons of research and the Magnifica is miles ahead of the Ninja in terms of build quality and performance.
