As the wind was low, and the sky looked clear, seemed rude not to send one of the drones up at sunrise this morning...

Nice drone work, and I know the area well from school walks many years ago.
Do you happen to know anywhere that can fix my son's drone, which he unfortunately backed into a tree top in sport mode last year? :'(
It's the DJI Mavic Mini, and only needs a couple of the arms replaced, but nowhere seems to want to sell spares, or offer repairs.
You will really struggle to find spares for DIY repairs. Occasionally, parts from crashed ones come up on ebay, but they might not be any better than what you have.
DJI run a repair service, as do some UK based retailers like Heliguy. Whether or not its worth it on an old, limited aircraft like a Mavic Mini 1 is another matter.
My Mini 1 only gets charged up now for people "who want a go", as I don't really care if they hit a tree.
Must have been unlucky to break it. Of the few crashes I've had with DJI ones, the only damage is my lounge doorframe, from when I was being a bit too cocky and flying it around the house - I'd made it upstairs and back down, and it was the last door before I was going to land. I missed.
