    Hey Kevin, Power lines put out a magnetic field of a 50ft radius around the wire. Remember when your parents were listening to AM radio, and you heard static driving under power lines? That magnetic field interferes with radio frequency i.e. cellphones (800htz) etc. It can also mess with GPS calibration. I spent about an hour trying to calibrate my Mini 4 Pro and RC 2 one night. Then I realized that I was 40ft from some high-tension wires. I moved away from them and was able to fly. Trust me... I was a cellphone tech for 10 years. Cheers, Brendan

      See? I knew I could blame those blasted wires. Hahaha. Seriously though that’s great info and I really do bet it had something to do with that initial take off and bad precision landing. The number of satellites seemed really good though and they stayed locked in the whole time. Does that mean anything or is that number of satellites not relevant when so close to wires like this? I was definitely within 50 feet of the wires.

    • @finnybflyin
      @finnybflyin Місяць тому

      @@WeretheRoberts Hi Kevin. It seems to me that the satellite lock and the radio frequency are separate signals. Maybe it would be a good test to fly within a magnetic field and see if the number of satellites change. In a safe area of course. When I'm sitting under power lines and my compass or Garman is off 180 degrees, I know I'm in a magnetic field. My last Garman always did that! When I left a delivery and was under wires, I turned the wrong way 90% of the time!

Who would have thought there's a learning curve for retirement ? Ha ha ! I finally learned you don't have to complete whatever you're doing in one day . Or am I just getting lazy ??

All I know is Kristi’s been retired for 7 years and with me retiring in 2 months she said she only has 2 months to find a job. Hahaha. Just kidding. She said she’ll walk me through the retirement process and see what happens. I’m hoping it takes. lol. The plan for now is to take the first 12 months totally off and do a lot of traveling.

    Hey Kevin, recently discovered your channel and really enjoy the videos. Thank you for taking the time and energy to produce them. I have been flying Mini 2 for several years, but always learn something new with each video! Also thank you for standing boldly and proclaiming the Word! Very cool how you end each video with scripture.

      @WeretheRoberts  Місяць тому

      Oh wow that’s awesome, Scott! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a cool comment. It’s always neat to hear when someone enjoys our attempts at entertainment hahaha. I’d say the Mini 2 is by far my favorite drone. There’s something about the simple things it offers and with Maven we can pretty much do whatever the Mini 4 pro does with exception of obstacle avoidance and a couple other things. Shoot there’s even some things the 2 can do the 4 can’t! lol There’s a video idea, eh? Anyway, we can’t thank you enough and the fact that you acknowledged the scripture means the world. That’s definitely the most important part of any of our videos and our prayer is that someone (at least 1 person) will understand the message and find the Lord. God bless and thanks again for watching!!! Kevin

    Great video brother as always another fantastic test! The dronie looked suoerb and the fly around the dolphin tank, views are incredible there! Dwight definitely redeemed himself on the second Rth test! Good job! You forgot to extend your antennas I think buddy so even more impressive not to lose any bars haha!

Lol I guess that’s what makes it We’re the Roberts, eh? lol I do agree about the antennas. It makes DJI look that much better when you don’t even have to extend the antennas to get a signal. I’ve caught a lot of flack about forgetting them but I’m not perfect and my pre flight checklist was burned in the fire. Or wait. Maybe the dog ate it. Either way, my checklist is MIA. lol.

      That’s a great idea Fred and it’s in the list of things to try. It’s always hit and miss with this drone lately, eh? One flight something will go bad, then the next flight that thing is fixed but something else is messed up. That initial launch with the gimbal shake like it did was freaky but it happens every so often. It seems to do it more often when I’m just flying for fun than for a video but it did happen once when we did a waypoints test. I remember that. lol.

    Hi there, great video as usual. I have to ask, I am looking at getting one of those sun visors like the one you have in this video and I have noticed that you also have the metal neck-strap bar fitted too. Are the fixture screws for the sun visor and the strap bar using the same holes?

    • @WeretheRoberts
      @WeretheRoberts  Місяць тому +1

      Awesome! Thank you so much for watching and taking time to comment. I can say without a doubt you won’t regret getting the visor. I have it more to protect the sticks in the case but it does help with the sun sometimes. That bar on the back is actually part of a bicycle mount that attaches to the handlebar, too but I use it more as a kickstand right now. lol. I haven’t had time to try it on the scooter yet. Soon though!!! Haha. Anyway, yes the 2 attachments use the same screw holes and the screws that came with the bike mount kit are a smidge longer and fit through bath products. It’s pretty cool they thought of that and it works like a charm. I haven’t noticed the screws backing out yet but if they do I may add some blue lock tight stuff to secure it better. Hope this helps, buddy! God bless and thanks again. Kevin

    I just updated the new update and had the same outcome as nobby green 😮 the first part took about 20 minutes and put me back to 1.13.09, and the second update only took a couple of seconds back to 1.13.10 😮😊

    • @WeretheRoberts
      @WeretheRoberts  Місяць тому

      Wow that’s really weird. I can’t explain why that happens but someone did mention maybe the 1.13.10 had a bug and this was their way of fixing it. That makes some sense, eh?

    When I did a RTH onto the hood of my truck, the drone started to come down off point, until it got to the height I had paused after takeoff. At that level, it corrected and landed within a couple of inches from the takeoff point. Don't know why it yours was so far off on the first try. Could be related to the non-reflective nature of your truck cover.
    If you watch the video when you first started the POI flight, you can see dolphins in the circular tank closest to the drone. Not jumping, just swimming.

    • @WeretheRoberts
      @WeretheRoberts  Місяць тому

      I never really noticed the drone correcting itself at the height I stopped going up as you mention, but looking back, that seems like what Dwight normally does, too. I think he may have done just that on the second RTH flight, too. I’m gonna keep my eyes on that next time and see if it does it every time or if it’s just a coincidence. Awesome info, man! It’s funny you mentioned seeing those dolphins. I noticed them when I was editing the video. They must’ve been on a break. lol. I need to get their schedule and go out there when they’re doing a show.

    3:37 There is an even more recent firmware for the RC2 (v02.02.0300), and this one comes with DJI Fly v1.13.9 !!
    So apparently a DJI Fly v1.13.10 has some issues.
    You can update to DJI Fly v1.13.10 after the RC2 v02.02.0300 firmware update.

Non stop. lol. Do you happen to know what issues this newest one fixes? I really think my issues this flight were user error but I can’t figure out what I did wrong yet. That’s usually the case. I’m hoping to find some time this coming weekend to the newest update. Fingers crossed it works out. lol. God bless! Thanks again for watching.

    I've been reading on the DJI Forums many are having a lot of issues after updating the firmware on the Mini 4 Pro. Some are being asked to send it in and get a replacement. So I don't know if the firmware is bricking the drone or what. I was planning on getting the Mini 4 Pro but now I don't know.

    • @WeretheRoberts
      @WeretheRoberts  Місяць тому

      Ahhhhh man I wouldn’t let that scare you too much. I still have faith in these drones even though there may be some minor issues. Those major issues are really few and far between and honestly some of them are exaggerated. Heck if you have the DJI care/refresh or if the warranty is still in place and DJI is willing to replace the drone if a major issue comes up, there’s really no risk. Of course that’s all just my opinion and I’m not even close to an expert. Lol. I’m actually the opposite of an expert at most things. Hahaha. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, buddy. Definitely keep us in the loop on what you decide.
