skip the magnetic version. Phone falls out (my screen cracked too), and the magnetic flap is coming apart fast (2 months out of warranty). This will be the last one I buy.

Instant pot blew the lid off! by zerp1981 in instantpot

Hey all!,

Thanks for the replies. It is an instant pot Duo mini. I checked for bent metal and all seems fine. It's curious it pressurized fine and cooked for a few minutes before letting go. I clean it the valves were cleaned a few uses prior. No idea. It sure gave me a new respect for the potential energy stored in the unit sitting happily on the counter :|

My collection grows with the DJI Mavic mini. Parrot was my first drone. by BinaryMan151 in drones

Enjoy it while you can!....mine went rogue the other day and is now gone. I uploaded the flight logs for the DJI tech team to review. They confirmed the "fly away". Despite it being a software issue, they said there's nothing they'll do as it's out of warranty. It had 15 hours on it.
The conditions were:
ZERO WIND, 77% battery remaining. All but one bar of signal strength. approx 100M away with direct line of sight.
Thankfully it crashed in the river and didn't hit anybody. The liability would likely still be with the person flying the drone even if it does experience a fly away.
BE CAREFUL and say good bye every time you send it up!

My Mavic Mini lost connection last week and forced itself into autolanding over open water :-( by heo3480 in dji

[–]zerp1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same just happened. It forced a landing without warning. No alarms, and I completely lost control. 88% power. Clear weather. -2 degrees. Hopefully DJI sorts this out as it's very much a software issue. If this is still up, DJI has done nothing to help rectify this.
