Best Drone video I have seen ever!! Wow!! excellent job man. I have been thinking about what drone to get and have looked at a million videos. THIS WILL BE MY NEW DRONE!! Thanks again.
I have the Mavic Mini and my Mini 2 Fly More Combo with 1 year DJI Care Refresh package is chilling under the Christmas tree until Christmas this year! Even though I have the Mavic Mini as soon as I saw the Mini 2 is out, I actually chose to get the Mini 2 instead of the Mavic Air 2 Fly More Combo! I had the money saved up for the Air 2, but chose the Mini 2 over it! I'm just a huge fan of the Mini models.. And now that DJI made this Mini 2 I'm pretty sure no other company will be able to compete with the Mini 2! Sweet Keep well and be safe bro!
Definitely go for it I'm just stupid my first drone was a DJI mavic 2 pro but it still was easy as hell. Then i bought a Spark and now I'm gonna buy the Mini 2
Do it. I got the Mavic air as my first, it's a great drone and I was saving for an Air 2 then the mini 2 came out and I couldn't justify the extra money because the mini looked so good..... I wasn't wrong, considering selling my Mavic Air because I just don't think it will get used
To add to the comment, what a remarkable drone shot you created as you moved up into the observation deck of the building. Truly cinematic. This is what these drones can do for us as cinematographers---they create utterly remarkable video images that can add so much to a documentary or any sort of video story.
Oh my goodness - I am in my 50’s and have been watching all you wonderful creative people having fun with this mini- I will have to get one for the first time- yup a Christmas gift from me to me- It will be awesome for family trips and memories...
Lol. From me to me. Haha. Made me giggle. I did exactly that a couple of weeks ago. Couldnt wait for christmas. Yet to fly it due to lockdown . Have fun.
@@spiritualwarriorhealer6154 I did eventually get it for Xmas 🎄 2020 I’ve been having a blast - Got a few family videos on my channel plus a flight around my neighborhood and a night flight - yes I also got the certificate-
I'm a new Mini 2 pilot and have been very cautious, probably overly so on letting her fly more than a stones throw. I appreciate your comments on its reliability of signal and now since watching this feel like I can let the Mini 2 reins a bit looser and confidently fly more distant. I also wondered about low light flying and you have answered that question as well. I appreciate all your video's and your jovial approach. Kudo's
Man loved watching this vid so much in 2022 (i’d rewatch this like every two weeks lol). your vids were always so interesting and cool to watch. around that time I owned a DJI Mini SE which I sold a year after and I have now recently ordered the Dji Mini 4K (which is basically the Mini 2) and it has brought me back to this legendary video. Love you Ken
Greetings from a german DJI Mini 2 Pilot (former Mavic Mini Owner). You did a great job in this video! Allways proud to be a member of the Mini Community. May God bless you and your equipment all day long so far away in the states!
Awesome footage. I love the part approaching the pyramid underneath the overpass, then heading up to the viewing deck. Incredible. And the music is great too.
Spent two weeks between the mini 2 and 3 pro. As a Memphian, I really enjoyed this video! Sold me on the mini 2 with this video along with the third party support!
I know I just commented a month ago but I have to comment again. This is my absolute favorite Drone video and I have watched a load of them! I'm 56 and this gives me the feeling of Christmas as a kid! Watching this may be an annual tradition for my family - it's special. For that, I say thank you!
@@KenHeron Hey Ken, Just thought I would come back to this and let you know that it inspired me to purchase the Mini 2 around Christmas and get my Part 107 a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for all the entertainment! All the best to you.
That's the best Memphis has EVER looked. I got the Mini 2 about a week ago. Absolutely blown away by it. Got the Fly More combo, worth every single cent. Got my ND Filters, tablet holder, lights and landing gear too. Absolutely stunning wjat these will do. I live in S. Florida and have flown it at Haulover inlet and Hillsboro Inlet with at least 20-30 mph winds and it doesn't budge the video AT ALL. Smooth as ice. The drone barely moves a half an inch in those winds. And they can get really gusty as well. The video was PERFECT IN the wind. The Mini 2 is absolutely incredible. Your video looks fantastic.
These really needed to be piloted at the exact same time if you wanted to do a fair comparison. Light levels change drastically at dusk. Fun video all the same.
The video quality is just absolutely beautiful! I'm raising up for the Mini 2. The moment I get $500 I'm buying the Mini 2 and an extra battery. Absolutely amazing drone.
Loved this video of my home town. I was there for the 'big dig' Pyramid ground breaking ceremony, and this was an amazing view! I can't wait to do this with mine.
When someone says “oh you bought a drone eh?” I send them this video .. And patiently wait for them to reply with “holy sh!t” .... Best justification ever. Subscribed because of this video.
Nice shots! Just picked up my mini 2 yesterday (mini 3 a bit rich for my taste) only been over the local field getting used to the controls so far but seems so easy to fly. Cant wait to try it out over some of our stunning Welsh scenery!
Just came across your channel yesterday, and you truly provide some great material to learn from. Your videos are extremely enjoyable to watch and it's so great to see how exhilarated you get while flying. I will definitely be investing in this drone because of you. Thanks Ken! Incredible work!
Had the bigger dji drones but flying it was becoming a pain in the butt with people asking questions needing a license etc but this makes it fun again. Going to buy one at Best Buy tomorrow
Thanks for your videos. I bought the DJI Mini 2 and it arrived today. (My first drone and I’ve never even seen one besides in videos) I was a bit shocked at how small it is. I mean, yes, I know it’s named Mini but it’s about 30% smaller than I expected. I’ve already charged the batteries and taken a few flights around the yard. Lots of fun.
Kind of a no brainier. Aircraft that need to see it won't be flying below you. Although you can place one underneath to help the PIC locate it, the main objective is to make the drone visible to manned aircraft up to 3 statute miles.
As stated, this is a stellar video. I am very surprised in your lack of confidence in the Mavic Mini though. I would be EXTREMELY confident in flying the same path you few in your Mini 2 with my Mavic Mini. I have not had a failure or a glitch yet and it is incredibly reliable. Can you share a bit more about your concerns? Thanks for the beautiful footage! Cheers!
Was thinking the same thing, just started flying my mini but already taken it to the end of my neighborhood, well out of sight with lots of brick houses and large oaks in the way. No problems at all.
Completely sold on this and can't wait to use for our studio ads etc. Great coverage of this drone. I ordered before I saw this vid and I am sold. great Video. Salute
I've been watching your drone videos for months now preparing for a drone purchase and just realized who you are. Miss Vulcan giving me my weather report every morning.
So cool when you got that shot of the people up there and it seemed like a spy camera. 🤩 I know the Mini2 has outdone the Mini but it 's still kinda sad handing the Mini to a new owner. I just felt that😫
What a great job flying under the bridges. I've not had the guts to do this in a built up area, but flown under bridges on the North Saskatchewan River. Love my Mini 2.
Hi I’ve surveyed the whole of market several times over and over and had almost decided on the mini 2. Your vid has convinced me that the two is the way to go. Many thanks. Paul, Leeds uk
wow!!! you are about as stupid as I am (in a good way) I was really wanting you to get closer to the bass pro shop, and you DID! mph, color me impressed.. I am looking to buy a drone for a different angle on photography and your video has pretty much convinced me that it is definitely worth the money, time and effort. You took great risks flying to the Bass Pro Shop, and then over water to the bridge. BUT the footage you got was AWESOME. oh, we could be brothers. Thank you for that video and Thank you for making your video in such a beautiful place. I've never been there before, but now I would like to go there. sub-scribe !
Great video! I never had an interest in drones previously. I watched a vid yesterday, got hooked watching loads of others until about 2am.. Went out and bought a mini 2 the next day! Love it! 😁
I’m so excited for my mini 2 I actually can’t sleep. This is also the very first drone I will have ever bought. Excluding the air hogs I got back as a kid.
I think it's important to state that if you modify your drone (ie. strobe light) it surpasses the >250 gram limit rule under 14 CFR 107 and must be registered with the FAA if flown in the US. Not a big deal for most folks, but the FAA is cracking down on drone channels on UA-cam because you are posting videos that provide them with the evidence.
Hi Ken, thanks for this amazing video. I am from Germany and bought the mini 2 a few days earlier. It is To find informations like your video, is precious for me. Especially the performance at low light and respectively at night. Thanks again and stay healthy . Kind regards from Germany, Michael
I have the Mini SE for 180$. I like it so far. Afraid to lose it. Any advice? I also like to make, Craft and Overhaul. How much if that could I do to this drone to increase efficiency? Weight is a Legal Problem for me. I get caught I get caught. Accept what I am doing isn’t wrong but isn’t lawful. (Aka River shots when the Snow melts!). Water is powerful !
Hi Ken, I've watched this and the Atlanta night flight. Incredible videos, thank you. I'M brand new to this quadcopter thing, so I've been reading and YouTubing quite a bit. You talked about adding the strobe for night flying, but not positional (red and green) lights. Is there a requirment for the red and green lights also, or does the Mini 2 come with sufficient lighting? I'm hoping to see one under the tree this year. Thanks again. --The Newbie.
I'm sorry, folks. Maybe I'm in denial or something, but I can't see the massive improvement you talk about. I have a mini1 for a long time now and I know it has some nightlight limitations, but I saw the same in the mini2... I remind you that the sensor is the same, the aperture as well, only difference is (supposedly) in the processor that handles better the 4k resolution... so... how can it be better unless it is a software tweak? You can improve the video too with a post processing... and it'll get much better than what you got with the mini2. Ok, the ocusync is better for heavy wifi environments, but with some yagis you can overcome that as well, so... I'm sorry, I'm just not that convinced so far... Liked your video comparisons though. Am sorry that you let the mini1 go (no further tests...), but I totally understand there is no point in keeping them both. Take care.
OMG... I live in California, so I wonder what would happen if I TRIED THAT with MY Mavic collection!? They'd probably throw me UNDER the Jail... after various people proceeded to SUE me for... whatever came to mind!! LOL At any rate, I am so jealous right now, it hurts! That is a BEAUTIFUL video!!
@Calvin yeah, like any of those laws do any good. California is just fine unless you are being a dick with your drone. Under those circumstances you probably are more likely to get your drone shot down in an open carry state. right?
@@liamjensen7775 Yes! I’m super excited to get into the photography/videography aspect of it and this seemed like a good balance of having some impressive equipment while not completely breaking the bank haha!
I’m so pleased I waited. I was goin to buy the mini 1 a while back. And so pleased now I got my mini 2 yesterday. Not flown it yet outside. But man indoors no gps it’s solid in flight. And loving the footage👌😉 nice vid bro
Nice video. It's nice but since I bought the original mini, this is not that much better that it's worth replacing it so I will wait as there is ALWAYS something better in the future!
I just got my original mini couple months ago and of course they came out with a mini2. If im going to upgrade in the future im going to pay a little more and get the MA2P. Has all the bells and whistles.
@@zzz-qr1rk I totally agree. Should have had the lipo battery from the beginning as most drones have but DJI knows what they are doing and people will buy it cause it has better camera and battery but not worth it to me.
Best Drone video I have seen ever!! Wow!! excellent job man. I have been thinking about what drone to get and have looked at a million videos. THIS WILL BE MY NEW DRONE!! Thanks again.
Oh yes! You’re right! I’m Arseniy from Russia Moscow and I will buy the DJI MINI 2 because this drone is amazing 🤩! Thanks for the video)
You have landed on a great choice I just got mine and I'm loving it!
I just got one it’s my first dji drone and it’s worth every penny, just buy the fly more version
I just took mine out for it's maiden flight today. Flew it over the ocean and chased a Sailboat for a bit. It's just amazing!
+1
Stunning shot of the bridge! In awe of your skills and the Mini2's capabilities.
That's really impressive considering it got even darker when you filmed with the Mini 2. Great image quality!
This mini2 makes me seriously consider buying my first dji drone
I have the Mavic Mini and my Mini 2 Fly More Combo with 1 year DJI Care Refresh package is chilling under the Christmas tree until Christmas this year!

I actually brought one. Its my 1st drone. This thing is a beast.
I'm 61 and just bought 1. Your video has confirmed I made a good choice.
From the countless videos I've watched over a year, this tipped me to get the mini 2. No regrets!.

My son saw this video not too long ago, and showed me. Decided to surprise him for Christmas!
That's awesome! Hope it's going well!
Good job momma 💪🏾👍🏾
Pretty cool! I was just in Memphis.
For its price, its ultimately the best drone for someone who wants to get an easy to use drone that is also cheap
Thanks for showing how great it does in low light. I've been waiting for someone to get a video like this. I guess I'll be getting one soon.
Have u got it yet?
@@oweno7105 No. What I want it for has been delayed.
I just bought mine like an hour ago and I’m waiting for it to charge
You need some edit for lowering the noise in captured videos. But other than that this little drone is get the job done 😃

Excellent shots friend, thank you for sharing this level of quality. I think DJI has hit a home run with this new ship.

Just picked up my mini 2 today. This is one of the most awesome videos I've seen on video and drones. EPIC
tend to shoot 2.7k now dont think will handle 4k
Best video I’ve seen that would sell this drone, impressive.
I flew my mini 2 today for the first time. Personally I find it better than the inspire 1. An absolutely amazing drone!!!
It's the safest weight class of any drone and the best in its weight class. Nothing does the job better than the Mini 2 at 242g.
Can it record audio?
@@tearfrost984 No, all you would hear is wind and motors buzzing. It would just be dead weight for it to carry round.
All I could think of was Owen Wilson when he kept saying WOW. LOL

Glad you found us Matt!
Thank you for the nice comment. 🤓👍
If I didn't just buy my Mini 2 yesterday this would have sold me on it. Holy crap that was some amazing flying and shots from you! Great job!
That ocusync makes it so worth it. Great drone work!!!
Bass Pro Shop should put this in a commercial, this looks pretty cool.
Dear Sir, This is my favourite Drone upload so far this Century. I like to watch it once a month. The Pyramid flyby is Epic Thank you xx
That's very kind of you to say.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
Had the bigger dji drones but flying it was becoming a pain in the butt with people asking questions needing a license etc but this makes it fun again. Going to buy one at Best Buy tomorrow
Actually the camera sensor is the same as the Mini 1, 12Mp, just different processing to enable a 4k video. It's not a bigger camera.
Came here to say this. All DJI did was uncripple the Mini 1 camera.
Wow this video has me ordering one right now.my first drone
Just bought this for Christmas with my bonus. So excited to use it at work and also get shots on hikes. For $700CN, can’t really go wrong
You'll love it.
Thanks for your videos.

very smart to do the light on top :-D

I got mine on Xmas and yes all those feelings I'm just a kid that grew into an adult
You’re like the cool uncle I never had

Yea same here.. the mini 1 is great but the signal can get a bit sketchy. Especially when you fly in built up areas..
@@alexandermiller5034 I've had a few moments in built up areas with the signal too.. Would definitely be the main reason to upgrade. 👍

do i need to register the mini 2 because its only 249g
The only thing it will save you is $5. You still have to fly under the rules same as any other drone.
@@KenHeron ok thank you for the info because i plan to get one soon
Hi Ken, I've watched this and the Atlanta night flight. Incredible videos, thank you. I'M brand new to this quadcopter thing, so I've been reading and YouTubing quite a bit. You talked about adding the strobe for night flying, but not positional (red and green) lights. Is there a requirment for the red and green lights also, or does the Mini 2 come with sufficient lighting? I'm hoping to see one under the tree this year. Thanks again. --The Newbie.
TurboNorm No need for additional light.
@@rogerthat9174 Thank you. Ken never replied.
Very cool!
Awesome, Ken thanks for sharing. I just bought the Mini 2 two weeks ago and love it. Third drone for me and by far the best one yet.
I Loved this video!! The way you controlled the drone, the sunset, the music and the excitement in your voice, made this video wonderful!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I'm sorry, folks. Maybe I'm in denial or something, but I can't see the massive improvement you talk about.
I have a mini1 for a long time now and I know it has some nightlight limitations, but I saw the same in the mini2... I remind you that the sensor is the same, the aperture as well, only difference is (supposedly) in the processor that handles better the 4k resolution... so... how can it be better unless it is a software tweak? You can improve the video too with a post processing... and it'll get much better than what you got with the mini2.
Ok, the ocusync is better for heavy wifi environments, but with some yagis you can overcome that as well, so...
I'm sorry, I'm just not that convinced so far...
Liked your video comparisons though. Am sorry that you let the mini1 go (no further tests...), but I totally understand there is no point in keeping them both.
Take care.
Yea, the sensor is same. If you know how to use manual settings then Mini 1 will record same video as Mini 2.
@@pokulan Thank you!!! Aparently you're the first person who noticed that too besides me... 🙂
OMG... I live in California, so I wonder what would happen if I TRIED THAT with MY Mavic collection!? They'd probably throw me UNDER the Jail... after various people proceeded to SUE me for... whatever came to mind!! LOL At any rate, I am so jealous right now, it hurts! That is a BEAUTIFUL video!!
@Calvin yeah, like any of those laws do any good. California is just fine unless you are being a dick with your drone. Under those circumstances you probably are more likely to get your drone shot down in an open carry state. right?
Ok I might have to buy this
It’s a good drone
@@liamjensen7775 lol it’s arriving to my house Monday 😂
@@joemoore1998 I’m so excited for you! Is this gonna be your first drone?
@@liamjensen7775 Yes! I’m super excited to get into the photography/videography aspect of it and this seemed like a good balance of having some impressive equipment while not completely breaking the bank haha!
@@joemoore1998 mines coming Tuesday lol
That bridge view is spectacular!
I’m so pleased I waited. I was goin to buy the mini 1 a while back. And so pleased now I got my mini 2 yesterday. Not flown it yet outside. But man indoors no gps it’s solid in flight. And loving the footage👌😉 nice vid bro
Thanks!
You will love it.
Awesome footage, I love your positive energy..thats a sub from me.
Thanks Sean!
I think that girl on the balcony got freaked out 😂
Nice video. It's nice but since I bought the original mini, this is not that much better that it's worth replacing it so I will wait as there is ALWAYS something better in the future!
I just got my original mini couple months ago and of course they came out with a mini2. If im going to upgrade in the future im going to pay a little more and get the MA2P. Has all the bells and whistles.
I don't think a Mini 1 -> Mini 2 move makes sense.That's almost halfway there / halfway there for a Mavic Air 2, which would be a better jump.
@@gaijinblow exactly.
@@zzz-qr1rk I totally agree. Should have had the lipo battery from the beginning as most drones have but DJI knows what they are doing and people will buy it cause it has better camera and battery but not worth it to me.
Watched this , ordered one. It arrives tomorrow. You have made the single most impressive advert for the Mini 2 possible . THank you
Thanks.
Happy flying!
Thanks for a great video - found my way here doing research on the Mini 2. I think I'm sold!
