We've had a lot of fun with the Mini since it arrived, as have thousands of others.
So it's great to see expanded functionality making it even better.
What do you think of Dronelink? Let us know in the comments if you're going to give it a try.

I'll be completely honest when I say that Dronelink is not an app you can just open and start using right away, even if you're already familiar with DJI's waypoints setup.
The learning curve for Dronelink appears steep, but the developers have put together an extensive library of video tutorials that guide you through the process of mastering Dronelink's autonomous flight planning. Taking the time to go through the tutorials will help you understand the components and logic behind Dronelink's mission planning and will save you from serious aggravation.
The video tutorials range in length, but most are bite-sized chunks that help you grasp a concept so you understand the logic and flow of creating a mission.
We'll emphasize this point one more time: programming a Dronelink mission is a complex task.  The more you understand before attempting, the more likely you are to enjoy using it. Skip the learning curve and you'll either crash your drone or abandone the app altogether.
But it's because of the detailed programming and components built into Dronelink that makes it so powerful.  DJI's programmable waypoints could be considered a 'dumbed down' cousin of what Dronelink is capable of.
The irony of having an app as powerful as Dronelink running missions for a 'simple' drone like the Mavic Mini is not lost on us.  The majority of Mini owners chose it because they wanted an easy to fly drone without all of the red tape.  So for most of those users, Dronelink won't be something they'll likely embrace.
But for more serious drone pilots, many of whom keep a Mavic Mini as a companion to their more advanced drones, Dronelink adoption via the Mini will likely be a gateway drug to incorporating it across their fleet.
In fact, learning Dronelink on the Mavic Mini is probably the best way to get started.  The Mini is almost a 'disposable' drone, so it's a less risky way to master the software before deploying it on more expensive hardware.
Dronelink is subscription based with different tiers of pricing. We purchased the one-time $20 'Hobbyist' plan just to give it a test-drive, which allows unlimited non-commerical missions. For $20 per month individuals can purchase a Pro plan that allows 200 minutes of mission execution per month, and metered charges of $0.60 per minute after that.
Team plans are also available allowing additional users, more minutes etc. Full details on the Dronelink plans are available here.
After watching a good number of the tutorial videos, I set up a basic 5 component mission to take off, fly to a location and complete an orbit. I started by logging in to Dronelink on the web in a Chrome browser and assembled the components needed to execute my mission.
After the mission saves on the web it's immediately available for you in the Dronelink app when you're signed in.
I took the Mavic Mini outside and set it up for flight as normal, except instead of opening the DJI Fly app I opened the Dronelink app.
Once open I waited for it to grab enough satellites for takeoff and hit the mission play button.
The mission was short, just around a minute, and when it executed the final command to fly to the starting point I manually exited the mission and manually landed the Mini on my palm.
Creating and successfully flying even a basic mission like this using a new app is pretty cool.  If the nerd is strong in you, I think you're going to really enjoy both using the Dronelink app as well as the well organized learning curve.
Dronelink's website has an excellent support forum community that will help you with specific questions and overcome challenges you may be having with the software.
Dronelink is an incredibly powerful app.  Once you start watching the tutorials you'll have a real appreciation for how much work it was behind the scenes for it to be programmed.
The list of Dronelink supported drones is substantial, covering almost all DJI drones including all Phantom 3 & 4 Series of drones, all of the Mavic Series (except Mavic Air 2), the Inspire and Matrice Series and even the Spark. I don't think the SDK for the Mavic Air 2 has been released yet, so that explains why it's not supported yet.  Dronelink also supports the Parrot Anafi.
If you go to the Dronelink website you can see how the app is being used by more experienced users for building inspections, towers, ground surveys of aircraft, cinematography, 360 photos, as well as hyperlapses, mapping and 3D construction models.
