Hi David , so what type of Drone do you have ?
You can tell Dustin takes his time when the UNBOXING ALONE IS 38 minutes. Cant wait for flight test!
Yea that would be fucking great 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thats one reason why I like Dustin's drone reviews.
He is the best!
@@jackmuraguri1836 exactly
@machico63 I can't wait
Brilliant Review, and Information. Thank You. I am a First Time Drone User at 58 Years Old..... I'm getting there...
Your reviews are SO honest! Thanks for the review! You deserve a LOT MORE Subscribers than u already have!
I couldnt wait for this! My birthday is on the 24th and i needed a review like this. I know exactly what to expect. Im excited to see this vs the mavic mini. Well done Dustin as always !
Dude this is literally the perfect drone for me. Although the only thing that’s missing is active track
Fimi x8 mini
Just use a third party app dude
@@dosomestuff1949 which app?
@@dosomestuff1949 which app ?
@@PolarBearLP it just doesn’t fly as well
My Mini 2 SE is coming in 2 days and I have been counting the minutes.
Glad I watched ur video.
Very informative.
Subscribed✌🏾
this is the model i chose for starting out on video drone for the first time didnt want a monster drone, nor a cheap lightly made one either. guy where i bought it does this type thing all the time, and he helped me out quite a bit. I always wanted one just to mess around with. I also bought a gopro 8. I was so tired of messing with the iphone video when you try to get a landscape video and its sideways, and cant figure out how to straighten it out lol. my drone and its equipment show up on the first of June 2022. I took the time to buy it now as our family home of 71+ years is going on auction because of a death in the family. i thought my making a video with these things would be great memories for all of us. Im a gamer and i video the game i play all the timer. we will see how well i transition to this. Great video!
I am new to drones and just bought this today. This will be extremely helpful!
Oh yea man good job on picking this this is a great beginner and pro drone it is spectacular for what your getting just don’t crash it its expensive and dji service is shit and do your updates
I got mine a week ago... I love it!!!
@@TroyC68 i bet buddy
@@TroyC68 am traveling at the moment, so can't play with it for a couple days.
Finally my favourite youtuber’s mini 2 video came out. Great job Dustin
I spoiled myself with this at Best Buy and w/out much option to just get the drone on its own, I was forced to buy the "Fly More Combo", but I'm all the more grateful for it. It has made doing Panoramic shots much easier and the ability to zoom in on video w/out doing it in post is super awesome! I'm now a proud owner of both Mavic Mini 1 & 2 and I'll be sure to use the Mavic Mini as extended ways of getting extra footage should I go on trips etc.
Those same very Honest Reviews are the ones that Help them to make soooo much money , imagine that . Nice stuff as usual , Dustin .
Thanks for reviewing. I didnt fly mine waiting on your reviews. You are through and honest. I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Always a very in depth video that’s why your the best for viewing on UA-cam
It may be a long video but we’ve all watched the 38 mins on one video and not had to watch loads awsome work DUSTIN 👌
Thanks. I followed right along with the video to set up my new Mini 2. First drone, so it was good to have someone explain it all.
I must say Dustin the whole reason why I got my mini 2 is because of this video, I found out the hard way this drone can take a punch, I was showing off to my wife and a friend came in too hot hit the side of my house above the garage, fell 9 ft landed upside down, surprisingly it kept running, one of the rear legs folded up my wife did not realize, cut her finger badly trying to pick it up. I contacted DJI to ask why the drone does not shut off after a crash they said it does not. I broke one propeller all the others were scratched so I replaced all of them. After going through three more batteries the drone is still flawless, remarkable!
Awesome Dale! It's a sturdy little bugger. Sorry about the wife hope she's ok 🍻
@@DustinDunnill Yes, it is very sturdy it seems so tiny and delicate, when I watched in horror the crash take place I thought it was a goner, thankfully not! The wife thought she would need stitches but it's been a week and she's healing quite nicely,, I also purchased a parrot Bebop 2 because of your video flying out to sea to the rock formation and then up and down the coast of Maui, you're very blessed to live in a spectacular location, thank you for the awesome content, all the best to you.
I cannot wait for the range test! Dustin, you rock, Sir!!
Another great job Dustin, I just replaced my mini with a mini 2. You range test on the mini still cracks me up. Looking forward to more vids on the mini 2 from you. Thank you for everything.
It’s Nov 2022 and I’m thinking of purchasing one since they have gone down in price. So glad I came accross your channel. Thank you so much!!!
Man, you know I'm a big fan of yours (you pinned a comment of mine on your original Mini nail biting range test) but I'm just nine minutes into this review and I had to pause to comment and give a thumbs up ... cause the detail ... that's what I love ... you cover stuff that no one else does! Alright back to your review. ;)
I am about finally be getting a DJI Drone, it's about time, I have been following Dji since their beginning.
This is the unboxing video I was waiting for. Can't wait for your in-depth review about this little drone. Keep up the good work.
Got my mini today and your video is helping so much thank you
I'm waiting for the range test on the mini 2.
Whenever you do such range tests, I gain confidence.
I'm not convinced that the mini 2 would be good for harsh conditions.
If you upload a range test, I'm sure I'll get one.
Note do I set up getting a range test.
thanks for these awesome reviews man, I'm getting into photography and your videos have been very helpfull on helping me decide on which drone to start with
Great walk-thru 🤙. Can't wait for the range test
I like that they left off the "Mavic" or any other nomenclature and stuck to 'Mini', less confusing.
When I was looking for a first drone it made it easier to choose, knew that this was the one under 250grams and not subject to FFA registration.
Great drone so far, perfect entry level model for someone that just wants to fly - extremely pleased
with it so far.
15 out 10 as usual, great review
Got popcorn ready for part 2
😎😎
Great review. Very in-depth especially for someone new to drones. Thanks
Been waiting for your review on this ,
Indepth and packed with detail.
Thankyou Dustin
Fixing to get my DJI MINI 2 DRONE, can't wait to fly it from all the great reviews & test flights I have been watching, thanks for the great information dude.
You'll love it James 🍻
@@DustinDunnill hello Dustin, had my DJI mini 2 combo package for a week & got the high speed memory card for it. But I am having a hard time finding out how to down load the video & send it to my folks in Texas. SkiPixel seems to take hours ? Then if I get lucky I will get one 5+ minute clip & I want to send the whole 20+ minute video? What am I doing wrong? Is there a easy way? Yeah this drones Fricken Awsome Dude! Took it 6.7 miles around trip!!!!
@@jamessheehy2839 it depends if your sending the video over text or email because the max size is like 3-5 minutes over text but email can handle much longer times however it can take a bit
On my second replacement now & Awsome DJI company service!!!
@@franklinschmidt1 Thank your help much appreciated
Man I've been waiting for this video 😍 excited for the flight test!!
Yes finally I’ve been waiting for this😍
Finally! The real in-depth review is here
Good to see you again. Due to the new laws in the UK coming into force today, my beloved Mavic Pro is going to have to be replaced with one of these. Now I’m going to watch the rest of the vids p. Oh and happy new year.
I think it's a big mistake for DJI to not supply you with review samples, Your by far the only reviewer in these things I Pay any attention to at all and this doesn't look good for them.
Really appreciate your honest reviews. Awesome
19:15, LOL I laughed so hard, great video, I was waiting impatiently for your video to drop!
Absolutely brilliant review buddy. Ordered my dji mini 2 and it arrives tomorrow 🤗 😍😍
What a brilliant video, made sett up new drone so easy, new sub easy desision 🇬🇧
This is a game changer for the DJI mini series of drones. Great unboxing/setting up video.
waited for your review from day 1! Happy to see it :)
I love your unboxings
It’s my birthday and I got this drone because of this great channel
finally!
i love your reviews 😁
Just wanted to say you do an amazing job on your videos, very informative and very easy to follow. Keep up the great work. 1st time drone buyer just got my mini 2 today. :) :) :)
Congrats and thanks! 🍻
Guess what my wife and children have got me for my birthday? Great review Dustin. Best wishes to you and your family for a Happy New Year! :)

"Woah"😍😅😂 hahaha
Your biggest fan from Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭😁❤️
I'm liking this little one! :) great review Dustin:)
Thanks for making this video public 👍
Thanks for the in-depth unboxing.
Voice won another channel subscriber
Aye! I just woke up and saw you posted! I am also going to go fly my drone today! This is a great start to the day!
Great review, Dustin. Look forward to the flight review.
Great detailed unboxing, what an incredible little piece of technology, looking forward to mine arriving soon. 👍
Coming back to this video for the 3rd time! i've had the eachine E511s for a little while now and finally upgrading to the DJI mini 2, im so excited to pick this drone up and get some quality videos in the air :)
Man i shoulda waited to buy my mini and got the newer model. I love the upgrades they made especially the usb type c.
You’re the reason that make me to get a drone to play with my kid.
Thank you for your videos.
Great review dustin thinking of adding a mini as well as my mavic 2 pro .like the idea of a tiny drone with the same kinda features .anyway keep up the good work buddy ! All the best from the UK 🇬🇧
Great as always. Can't wait for the field tests
dji should definitely put you on the demo list!!! your vids r great!!
P.S. also love the way that ur vids r super in depth
I can’t wait to see the range test....Dustin bout to send it from Maui to the mainland 😂😂😂
Get mine next week can't wait thank you for the review
Cheers bud great video, thinking of the mini 2 to replace my spark
Trust me. It’s so much smaller then it seems in all the videos. I felt like i was holding a mouse
@@Kayshots so? Get the air 2 or pro 2 if you want something bigger
Definitely the best reviewer on these drones. Absolutely love it. I can't wait to see you get this little guy in the Air. They have definitely done it better, but I do agree with you about using say a tablet and you can't..when you could with the 1, I can't wait to see it go...Yippeee lol... Good Job Dustin Brother 👍💯👊
4.4v/cell?! That's freaking terrifying. I've never seen LiHV that high. Those batteries are not going to last very long at all. I hope they aren't very expensive.
I haven't finished watching the review yet as of typing, but I'm glad I rediscovered your channel after several years away and out of the RC hobby.
Dang, I've been gone a while, the app looks completely different.
Been waiting for this one
Best DJI I've owned 2.2 mile range so far in uk in 25mph wind
Thanks for posting this Dustin! My CC depends on it!!😄
Come on DJI! Dustin well deserve to be on your list.
When you do the range test could you possibly show the current windspeed?
Love u review in depth can’t wait
i like your honest reviews
Nice video! Can’t wait for your famous range test! That battery is gonna take a beating! 😂😂😂
They have made it so you can charge both your controller and the batteries if anyone was wondering
can't wait for the range test
I am a fan
Like the review! Just got this mini 2 a few days ago. It does seem to save photos and videos to the DJI album on the phone (I'm on Android) without an SD card. Found this out because my SD cards are still in the mail. I think the file resolution is lower than with the card, but you can still play with the camera. Thanks again.
Thx Dustin! Waiting on the range test, because you're the best at it... Been watching them since the XK 380 days. Keep up the good work Bro.
If you think about it. It does come with two USB C cables. The one you took out for your phone, couldn't you plug that into your PC and charge the remote like that? You would just need a mini USB C port on your PC which most have them now and if you have a mac then it has one for sure. Right?
Im from uk i took my new mini 2 back today kept losing signal at less then half mile away! Thought i lost it for 2 minutes then it came back on🤪got to say its very smooth and fast for small drone, just wish i didnt get the signal problem i hope they solve the problem then i will purchase a new one again!!
Yes, this obvious problem has stopped me getting one too... Thanks to the EU, they have ruined this as well with their Stuffed Shirt jobsworth rules again .
Very informative thank you very much.
you can charge your controller and your batteries at the same time. You need to plug your controller into the battery pack from the USB A port that is on the 2 way charger. They do not supply a cable to do this but you can use any usb C cable. I use the one from my phone to go from the wall to my batteries, then I use the little one DJI supplied to go from the batteries to the controller.
Haven’t purchased yet but in deep thought over it. Hahahahaha. Great information. Cheers 🇨🇦
I feel that the Mavic Mini did not hold up when compared to the Spark! This front facing sensor really makes a huge difference when flying indoors or in extremely tight spaces. They could have added one here since the Spark had it, but the 3 way gimble, 4K/30 video and Occusync 2.0 really more than make up for it! I got my Mini 2 yesterday and I am about to go fly now! A got all the info needed to fly it. Thanks!
Excellent thorough review Dustin!! Looking forward to the flight video. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family 😊
Your content is amazing
Excellent job and fun to watch.
wow amazing drone bro..i love it..one day i will buy it
Ahhh man wish this wasn’t 40 min so could take the time to watch all but maybe one day soon as sure it’s awesome
Great video a lot of information thank you
Thank you for your clear explanation about this dji mini 2. While I am using this drone it shows no GPS connection,Fly precaution. How to set GPS ?
Go outside with clear view of sky. Power on and wait about a minute 🍻
Great work! 👍
Looking forward to the other test👍
Love the mini 2 ❤
as always.. nice review..
It's February 19th, 2021, I watched this video, set it all up, everything is charged, so in the morning I shall fly...thanks for making it easy...
how was the first flight
@@pyro5683 WOW...ok...WOW...for a little Drone? Are you kidding me? I kept it in Cine mode, and IT HAULED ASS!! Slow? Yeah right...I'm not going near normal mode for a week or two I think...and I just left it in 1080 and it took Great Video, in the afternoon and in the late evening, then for a last nite flight to test the 3rd battery...yeah...I'm really impressed. I already want more batteries....3 just isn't going to work for me....For the price? Nothing beats this mini 2. My friend has a Mavic Air Pro, and he got me to buy this one to start with. I'm really digging it. As soon as daylight hits in the morning I'm up....dang...so easy to fly....
@@normsimpson2342 great to here what do you film with it im thinking about getting one but i dont know what to film
@@pyro5683 I have a large commercial camera drone used for corporate work, but it's for work, and it's a two man drone and BIG...the blades are 15in. and it carry's over 2lbs of payload. That's why I wanted one so bad. Why? I always want to see what's on the other side. What's on top? Is a long walk worth it? Well, take a look first...there's a lot to do with it. And it's just fun to fly. Super easy. If you ever wanted a drone get the mini 2. For the price it can't get beat.
@@pyro5683 Oh, and always go for the combo pack...well worth it...
Good tutorial 100%
Mini 2 has zoom feature that I love the most
Been waiting for this...wasn't dissapointed, as expected...Nice, sane overview...Thanks.
Shame about our crippled EU CE Firmware...No range!!!!!!
Please..ALSO test it using CE Firmware!!!!
Cant wait for the range test
