After following this channel for quit a long time.. I made the jump and bought the mini 2 ..the greatest technical toy every 55 year old should own … thanks man ! 😀
I got the SE as a gift and it's my first real drone I'm blown away. I know it's not same tier as mini 2 but I only owned the cheap drones before this so it's amazing to me.
@@malazan6004 the SE is awesome only difference is that that it runs on enhanced Wi-Fi instead of occu-sync and with a yagi booster it still freaking gets out there … the camera in all DJI Drone’s are the best also… have fun I definitely am
Yesterday I took my mini 2 3500 meters away on a full battery when I let it auto return to home point. I started to get high wind warnings on return which might have drained more power from battery and it tried to do a forced landing at 4% half way between 2 river banks. I quickly over rid the landing and flew into a park a couple of meters in from the bank while reducing altitude and lost connect about 10 meters off the grass which is to be expected. It was right were I lost contact with it 950 meters from home siting on the grass. So just a cautionary story for people who want to test the limits, I'm lucky that it's not taking pictures of fish right now.
@@niteblaster1 Nice, I think 4.7 km is my record now. I've had to get it a few times now. I fly over Australian bush and grass lands full of taipans and other venomous snakes. I need PPE for snakes i think.
Sold! I was on the edge of buying one... now after seeing this.. and seeing it's range and connection... wow! flat out impressive this lil drone. Well done. Really cool Vid!
Im also brand new to the drone life. They gave it to for christmas. I havent fl flown it nowhere near that high. I need to go to an open field try it out. Thank you for the FN and the sliidded now i know what is for. I need to watch muore of your vids so i can learn
I just started watching youre videos. I didnt know drones could go so far. I am going to best buy tomorrow and picking one of these up. I am getting the Fly More kit, itll be ready at 10pm tomorrow, cant wait!
One of the things I like the most about your videos specifically is how easily it is to read your landscape. Its really easy to visually benchmark and compare your different range tests because of the terrain. Like "oh he almost made it all the way out to the coast on that last one and this one he made it a little less far" Its not just numbers.
I got a mini SE for my birthday the fly more kit which was very impressive to me. It blows my mind it's at the bottom of the totem pole and I am so impressed by it. I think my dad got me into an expensive hobby as one day I'm going to want to get a proper Mavic one day (plus more). For now the mini SE is good for a beginner. Thanks for your channel love it
Haha….. absolutely! I can only work in miles, mpg, and weight is done in Stone and pounds for me. Talk to me about kilometres and gallons, no idea what you’re on about! 🤷♂️
you are the bob ross of drone videos!🎨 really enjoy your calm, easy-going attitude that pervades all of your content. i never fail to hit the like button as soon as i click on your videos👍
@@Freeknickers24 yes, absolutely- you really know your stuff. You should start making educational videos for us ignorant Europeans; I’ll help you get recognition for most awe inspiring wisdom. What has the rest of the world been missing? Are you sure you want to reveal your Ace in the Hole?
For those in the European countries our drones are different especially with the DjI ocusync 2 here in America we actually get the 4 to 6 miles distance. The proof is have you ever seen an American UA-cam channel about mini 2 or about ocusync having horrible reception losing signal or flyaways. There's a reason. Our remote transmission and drone transmission is a little bit more powerful
I just did my first flight with my mini 2 and I only flew it around a park. I had NO IDEA it had this kind of capability, holy shit. I'm blown away by this (it was my dad's and he gave it to me because he never used it, so I had never researched anything about it aside from the controls)
Did my first test flight with this thing yesterday. No droning experience whatsoever, so I was shitting bricks. Lost sight of the drone, no idea where it was, panicked. It was sheer luck that I found the RTH button. After watching this, I will probably be more confident today. Wish me luck.
Hey Dustin, I'm finally getting my first Mini 2. I ditched my Holy Stone 700D. I took a major loss but It should be delivered today while I'm at work. I can't wait
The DJI Mini 2 is just incredible. Great footage, great price and great entry but it is also great for experienced drone flyers. It is also a perfect way to test out if you like drones or not
You will also get more range if you increase the altitude of the drone. The better your line-of-sight, the stronger your signal connection will be from your controller. Great video!
That area seems like a good places to test it, if it was over populated areas with trees, it'd be more of a nail biter- a SAR would be harder to do if it went down where a car could run over it or someone picks up the curious object falling from the sky😉
This drone is unbelievable, I just got mine and I can’t believe how well it flys and how easy it is to fly it.. The video quality is stunning and the fly more package is a awesome buy, I highly recommend this drone..
I greatly appreciate that you leave your videos raw and not do all that fancy trickery in editing. I loved even on the range test that you did, it was in real time and we get a real sense of the experience and the distance. A lot of people take down the screen record video and put up the SD card recording and they're hiding a lot of the choppiness or signal loss and distance and things like that and it's very aggravating. I also appreciate that you talk when it's necessary. And when you do it's to do a good job of explaining and discussing. This was just a very very easy video to watch and enjoy, and most of all to learn from. Don't change. Thanks again
I had same experience from different channel 5 days ago. Flew first flight today.....ohhhhh! Noone is gonna be getting hold of me at the weekends this summer.
Another great video. I have been using LiPos in RC aircraft for years. The minimum safe voltage for a Lipo is 3.0V per cell. That is the absolute minimum. 3.3v is best. 3.5v is conservative. Lipo are lighter but not as durable is Li Ion. That is why they mainly use Li Ion in power tools instead of LiPo. Also as you saw LiPo's are lighter because of the way they are constructed.
I bought a Mini 2 after being influenced by your videos. Definitely helped me decide which one would fit my needs. Loving it so far. Keep up the good work!
Since I had a mini 1.. my air staying home more often..😂.. but I gave it to my brother for his first drone cuz I know I'm gonna get the mini2 ... it's amazing DJI can do.... thumb up for you Sir.... 👍👍
Ok another good one Dustin! We're gonna wait for that range test to zero though. ;) (no pressure. lol) BTW, I just realized that you talked non stop for 40 minutes straight ... and you held my attention the whole time. You have a rare talent my friend! Keep the great info comin'!
I am looking at getting the DJI MINI 2 and have watched your unboxing video, the first flight video as well as this video. You have done a FANTASTIC job covering this little guy. I have your videos saved because I’m going to buy one of these soon and your videos are so informative. Thank you!!!
HOW DID YOU GET THE FLY MORE COMBO ??? I WANNA PURCHACE ONE . BUT IT DOES'NT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT EXTRA BATTERIES AT ALL ! WOULD LOVE YOUR INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET THAT COMBO !! THANK YOU !
You need to be running critical systems for the US. I've never seen someone so calm and not panicked with so many warnings and beeps flashing and yelling at them lol.
Just wasted 40min watching your video and i really enjoyed it. Good stuff. Thanks. Wanna have this mini2 but still cant justify spending money on it. All best. Thanks again.
29:00 You drew a banana shape. Very nice video. I was expecting to see more vibrant video, but I love this the way it was. Coming from a Spark, the 30 minutes intriques me.
Just picked up my first ever drone (mini 2) and I want to thank you for sharing your work with us. So much fantastic information - and beautiful scenery - in a single video! Subscribed!
At 30:00 it actually did a perfect circle. The drone moved in a perfect circle, however the bench wasn't in the center of the circle. There is a limitation about the radius of that circle path but it still does it if you exceed it.
i love this long, in depth video about the drone, I feel like this video would lives forever for the people who's considering to buy a new drone but can't decide which drone should they buy, great video.
If I was a spark or mini user looking to upgrade with tight budget, this drone is the best choice, as it can manage a 30 minute flight with outstanding range, yes, 10 kilometers, but of course who flies that far, it only shows you can have perfect control of this little drone even great range. Just be careful though, it has no obstacle avoidance🤗
Love your tests and vids. It'd be cool to have a colleague staged farther out prepared to collect the drone, perhaps in a boat or on another island, to see how far the signal remains solid without worrying about reserving battery life for the flight home.
I’m on the fence about buying the dji mini 2 fly more package for $509 on Amazon and now after seeing this video im gonna pull the trigger on this. This is a fully stock mini 2 right? Almost 3 miles distance?! That’s like a phantom 4s distance!
Yes I believe it's fully stock I just bought mine a couple weeks ago and love it perfect starter drone and for professionals. I recommend it for sure. Just ordered some ND freewell filters and battery pack plus extra battery.
I really like how you review the dji range that is more or less affordable to the average jo Duncan The spark mini mav 1 and 2 are affordable drones with excellent performance as you so beautifully highlight in all your excellent reviews. I adore your range tests ! You really push the units to the limits ! Great work mate
Awesome videos, well explained, straight forward and to the point! Just bought a mini 2 and certainly looking forward to getting it in the air and having fun. Keep up the good work on the videos 👍👌
@@jacobcvelasco I assume this question is for me? I’ve had the M2 up in the air and flying locally, no great distances achieved just yet! Although I’ve taken it to approximately 350ft in height. Still early days for me to give more detail on the drone.
I finally pulled the trigger on this little guy. Couldn't decide between this one and the Air 2. I finally decided on this one as I fly more for fun and hobby than for photography. I think a lot of the features of the Air 2 would be wasted on me. Again, excellent video, Dustin.
Have no idea why anyone wants to fly a drone so far. Apart from being very illegal in many countries, drones are about videos and photos. I fly my drone in places of interest, taking videos and photos. Not you Dustin, but 90% of drone pilots have drones for the wrong reason. Your vacation video dated 26 April 2020, is what drone flying is all about. Simply awesome.
I have had a thought on these range tests. Some don’t make it back because of battery. Well looking at the shape of the drone it occurred to me that the drone may actually more streamlined in reverse, and maybe it could go further, easier going backwards. Just as flying sideways must create the most drag. Perhaps a test for this may assist those drone pilots who seem doomed on the way back, maybe it could save the day. A test showing a range test in reverse vs forward may establish an important drone action to perform on returns.
Thanks for sharing, have been doing fpv for over 10 years now, now im going to go from plane, to drone, this drone thanks to you. Thank you so much, peace from Norway!
The Mini 2 did great on the range test, you really had a good signal. And thanks for showing limitations of the intelligent flight modes on this drone. You always do a great job on these video's.
Thank you for the demo. I was going to get an F11s, but now I'm going to get the DJI Mini 2. I like the range, which is what I really want even if I never push it just for stabile connectivity.
Excellent video. I own the Phantom 3 Pro, P4 Advance, original Mavic Pro and I just purchased the Mini 2 after watching your video. Thank you. I enjoyed watching it very much.
@@xxxxxDUSTYxxxxx How is your Phantom 3 doing? Still flying? Mine went through a couple shell cracks (stress cracks) under the motors. DJI replaced the shell twice. I added the aluminum motor mount bases to reinforce and no problems since. Still a great drone IMO but sometimes weary of the single compass. It's failed on me a couple of times.
Hi Dustin, I’ve just had my Mavic Mini Drone delivered today, I live in UK and I’m a Roofer and I’ve bought it to do Roof surveys for potential customers. I’ve never used a drone before but I’m finding your videos very very informative, think I’ll need quite a bit training before I’ll be doing any inspections. We also don’t have good weather like yours lol, keep em coming and cheers. Martin
2.8 miles is crazy. I can't imagine wanting to fly that far but this is good to know. Thanks for the test. My wife got me a Mini 2 for Xmas. Can't wait to get out and fly.
I love the mini 2..for one thing,its quiet..I'm still learning how all the controls work.lots of hidden features. If I learn something new..every day thats a win..
AWESOME! This happens to be my first drone - got it last month for my birthday! From Costco $439; includes 2 batteries, the controller, extra bits (like propellers and cords), and the controller!
It’s a kick-aS$ drone, we got one too, paid 599 because it came with 3 batteries, each battery last about 30 min. It’s super awesome. The birds in Mexico were attacking the drone so not sure what that was about.
@@05tech definitely been reading about birds seeing it as a threat and/or prey. Some people recommend brightly/unnatural colored skins or especially decals that look like big eyes. I'll probably go the eye decal route. And a bright strobe led. Haven't gotten it yet cause I'm pretty sure the wife's gonna get me one for Xmas. It's torturous waiting when all I have is a cheap little Deerc drone lol
I like to use a long USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable (3 feet+) to fly my drone with my tablet and that controller, I like having a bigger screen instead of my smartphone, you guys should try it if you haven't already!
Thank you for this video, I have a mini2 for 3 years, and really haven’t thought of changing …… it does all I need. I have recently been trying to superimpose the phone screen onto the video, 😊 I have tested the range here to around 2 miles on a clear unobstructed calm day, my mini 2 has been all over the world and never let me down. (Except when I flew it straight into a rugby goal post) pilot error 😮😊 Have a great day !
This was a GREAT vid while I try to determine WHICH one I want to get for personal fun RV tour drones! Thank you so much! I (personally) don’t mind the length of your videos because you are doing everything I would end up doing with it to see WHAT I liked/didn’t like lol - so this is allowing me to determine where I want to spend the $!!!! I have been leaning more towards this one - mine is for more personal application - headed across the states and just want to enjoy where we’ve been... i just LOVE how thorough you are. GREAT job!
Thanks for your awesome videos! As a fairly new drone pilot and super fresh learning the Mini 2 you’ve answered soo many of my questions with your videos on this drone!
Wow, man. I got exactly half of that distance (2.3 km) while flying over the city, standing on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex. I still though it was quite the distance, but surely not even remotely close to the 10 km claim by DJI. I was using a smart controllers, but I'm sure my regular controller wouldn't have made it much further.
This is more exciting than half the movies on Netflix
You’re actually right. Half the movies on Netflix are so boring
So true
Totally agree
Yeah, it is like nerve wrecking yet fun, nice test, I tried this for 10 kilometers with a moded battery but was 3 kilometers short on the way home
Hater idiot prank.
I am looking forward to the day with a range test when you send the drone forward and then it returns from behind!
That made me chuckle!
All you have to do for that is turn around. It will.

Did you get it back? It's only 950ft away you said so it's not that hard to run or get there
@@V0V50
950m lol
I took mine 3.4 km
And had 17% left when it returned, there was zero wind

Amazing range. Glad to know that it can come back after reaching that far.
How can you see this thing i would get lost do you press return home?
@@bosspranks8349 yes, and also you can set the drone to RTH if it loses signal as well.
@@colbycarroll7746 how i do that
@@bosspranks8349 in your settings on the app, there should be three options to select from if signal is lost: RTH, Hover, or Descend.
@@colbycarroll7746 thanks bro
Sold! I was on the edge of buying one... now after seeing this.. and seeing it's range and connection... wow! flat out impressive this lil drone. Well done. Really cool Vid!
I wish DJI would let you turn off that constant beeping when returning home.
I muted it and missed half of what was said because of that damn beeping. 🔊🔊🔊
Yeah that would be much better.
Seen a UA-cam video where I guy updated his drone settings through his computer to set it to 10 percent or whatever you like
You can can’t you? Just override and then just fly it back yourself or just hit return home manually.
Do you have to hold down return button constantly..or can you just hit twice??
2 miles is all I need so it's going to work for me. Your videos aren't long. My hiking ones are long. Great info. Thanks...
Why aren’t you verified
Mini 1 can do 2 miles
2 miles is far tho I think most people wont even go that far

Just did the same thing haha
Yes I believe it's fully stock I just bought mine a couple weeks ago and love it perfect starter drone and for professionals. I recommend it for sure. Just ordered some ND freewell filters and battery pack plus extra battery.
Wait and buy the mini pro 3
@@Urban_coast_rp €500 price difference. Nty
Go Ahead!!!! It's awesome.
Enjoyed this video. Just got the Mini 2 cheap used since the 3 is out. DJI is like years faster than it's competition.
I really like how you review the dji range that is more or less affordable to the average jo Duncan The spark mini mav 1 and 2 are affordable drones with excellent performance as you so beautifully highlight in all your excellent reviews. I adore your range tests ! You really push the units to the limits ! Great work mate
"Kilometers for you guys in the UK" lol... you mean everywhere but the US
..uk has mph as well, just sayin :D
Don’t forget Liberia and Myanmar.
So basically you flew that deal 4 miles. That’s bad ass
Awesome videos, well explained, straight forward and to the point! Just bought a mini 2 and certainly looking forward to getting it in the air and having fun. Keep up the good work on the videos 👍👌
How far have you gotten with it
@@jacobcvelasco I assume this question is for me? I’ve had the M2 up in the air and flying locally, no great distances achieved just yet! Although I’ve taken it to approximately 350ft in height. Still early days for me to give more detail on the drone.
I finally pulled the trigger on this little guy. Couldn't decide between this one and the Air 2. I finally decided on this one as I fly more for fun and hobby than for photography. I think a lot of the features of the Air 2 would be wasted on me. Again, excellent video, Dustin.
Have no idea why anyone wants to fly a drone so far. Apart from being very illegal in many countries, drones are about videos and photos. I fly my drone in places of interest, taking videos and photos. Not you Dustin, but 90% of drone pilots have drones for the wrong reason. Your vacation video dated 26 April 2020, is what drone flying is all about. Simply awesome.
Yet another great video Dustin, I love the way you explain everything your videos are a pleasure to watch keep them coming
Well done. Even more excited for mine to arrive.
I almost had an anxiety attack watching you push that drone that far yet alone letting it reach 3% before landing 🤣
Honestly, this just sold me on the Mini2. Thanks, Great video!!
Good to know! Will be exploring the Quickshot mode on my next flight, always good to get new ideas from your content
I have had a thought on these range tests. Some don’t make it back because of battery. Well looking at the shape of the drone it occurred to me that the drone may actually more streamlined in reverse, and maybe it could go further, easier going backwards. Just as flying sideways must create the most drag. Perhaps a test for this may assist those drone pilots who seem doomed on the way back, maybe it could save the day. A test showing a range test in reverse vs forward may establish an important drone action to perform on returns.
Little known fact, the UK uses MPH :) The rest of Europe uses KMH. Good vid Dustin :)
dji mini 2 one of the best drone.
Thanks for sharing, have been doing fpv for over 10 years now, now im going to go from plane, to drone, this drone thanks to you. Thank you so much, peace from Norway!
Same here and I just got this model and it totally rocks!
Add the extra folding landing gear and use a big iPad for the screen!
Drones can go where no plane can. Flight time is the planes advantage.
I been watching all you mini2 videos and I’m falling for this drone
Nice range test as usual. The signal certainly won’t be the deciding factor on how far it goes out with this drone.
Good video 😎
Mine went 3.4km
I chickened out at 55% power
Then came back
You have a vert calming nice voice, i have no problem with watching 40 min video’s. Keep it up!
The Mini 2 did great on the range test, you really had a good signal. And thanks for showing limitations of the intelligent flight modes on this drone. You always do a great job on these video's.
Thank you for the demo. I was going to get an F11s, but now I'm going to get the DJI Mini 2. I like the range, which is what I really want even if I never push it just for stabile connectivity.
Seeing you bring it past 50% and still going away gave me anxiety
Me too, he is really brave, but he really trust this little beast
As long as you're flying over an area with suitable terrain, you can put it down in a safe spot and retrieve it, ideally next to a road but hidden.
Excellent video. I own the Phantom 3 Pro, P4 Advance, original Mavic Pro and I just purchased the Mini 2 after watching your video. Thank you. I enjoyed watching it very much.
I own every single DJI drone ever made!
@@xxxxxDUSTYxxxxx How is your Phantom 3 doing? Still flying? Mine went through a couple shell cracks (stress cracks) under the motors. DJI replaced the shell twice. I added the aluminum motor mount bases to reinforce and no problems since. Still a great drone IMO but sometimes weary of the single compass. It's failed on me a couple of times.
Props to the camera man who risked his life filming this so high up and far away
You actually showed me a few things . Like, the zoom in trick 😮. WOW 😳. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Dustin, I’ve just had my Mavic Mini Drone delivered today, I live in UK and I’m a Roofer and I’ve bought it to do Roof surveys for potential customers. I’ve never used a drone before but I’m finding your videos very very informative, think I’ll need quite a bit training before I’ll be doing any inspections. We also don’t have good weather like yours lol, keep em coming and cheers. Martin
Well done Dustin, hope everyone had a great holiday. Cheers my friend
Same to you man 🍻
just waiting for my Mini 2, cant wait to start flying :D
2.8 miles is crazy. I can't imagine wanting to fly that far but this is good to know. Thanks for the test. My wife got me a Mini 2 for Xmas. Can't wait to get out and fly.
Great video Ken! I always love your video for the bits and pieces of advice only experienced drone flyers can share! Thanks!
Superb !!! Thanks I just got one of these for Christmas you’ve given me a grand idea of the range and altitude ..
Had it for a year…never knew the fn zoom trick…cool!
🤣
Absolutely brilliant Without a doubt !!
I love the mini 2..for one thing,its quiet..I'm still learning how all the controls work.lots of hidden features. If I learn something new..every day thats a win..
I ordered my mini 2,fly more last week,,can't wait for my dji...
Are you happy with it? Thinking about ordering one
How do you like it so far
@@raddad0 I got mine on Friday & so far it’s pretty great
Ah man that's it, I'm getting one of these
AWESOME! This happens to be my first drone - got it last month for my birthday! From Costco $439; includes 2 batteries, the controller, extra bits (like propellers and cords), and the controller!
@@dawnwelch6579 I got the same package last month also ….right on …enjoy
And with the Mavic 3 coming out today and Mavic 2 Pro no longer available on B&H, this is the deal. But I like it for the 250g limitation.
It’s a kick-aS$ drone, we got one too, paid 599 because it came with 3 batteries, each battery last about 30 min. It’s super awesome. The birds in Mexico were attacking the drone so not sure what that was about.
@@05tech definitely been reading about birds seeing it as a threat and/or prey. Some people recommend brightly/unnatural colored skins or especially decals that look like big eyes. I'll probably go the eye decal route. And a bright strobe led.
Haven't gotten it yet cause I'm pretty sure the wife's gonna get me one for Xmas. It's torturous waiting when all I have is a cheap little Deerc drone lol
I like to use a long USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable (3 feet+) to fly my drone with my tablet and that controller, I like having a bigger screen instead of my smartphone, you guys should try it if you haven't already!
Thank you for this video, I have a mini2 for 3 years, and really haven’t thought of changing …… it does all I need. I have recently been trying to superimpose the phone screen onto the video, 😊 I have tested the range here to around 2 miles on a clear unobstructed calm day, my mini 2 has been all over the world and never let me down. (Except when I flew it straight into a rugby goal post) pilot error 😮😊 Have a great day !
Bro , I'm a 18 yr old boy from a low class family ...My dream is not a bike ..But my dream is drone can you gift me a drone if you would like 😔
@keithtee7255 had mine for 3 years also and absolutely love it and never once had an issue with it... dji mini 2 is the goat 🐐
@@ColtonGrundy agree! Am back in Asia this coming week and looking forward to flying the “goat” 👍👍
This was a GREAT vid while I try to determine WHICH one I want to get for personal fun RV tour drones! Thank you so much! I (personally) don’t mind the length of your videos because you are doing everything I would end up doing with it to see WHAT I liked/didn’t like lol - so this is allowing me to determine where I want to spend the $!!!! I have been leaning more towards this one - mine is for more personal application - headed across the states and just want to enjoy where we’ve been... i just LOVE how thorough you are. GREAT job!
Thanks for your awesome videos! As a fairly new drone pilot and super fresh learning the Mini 2 you’ve answered soo many of my questions with your videos on this drone!
Wow, man. I got exactly half of that distance (2.3 km) while flying over the city, standing on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex. I still though it was quite the distance, but surely not even remotely close to the 10 km claim by DJI. I was using a smart controllers, but I'm sure my regular controller wouldn't have made it much further.
