Bought mine on Tuesday and it is worth the upgrade. Went +6000 ft distance in what seemed in an instant with NO connectivity issues or lag in 4k video. Trust me get one if your thinking about it. Worth the money!!!
The mini 1 was the drone I had my eyes set on since you don't have to register, but when you released your wish list for the mini 2 I decided to wait. All the updates aside usb c is the one I was most excited for. The mini 2 is absolutely going to be my first proper video drone. Looking forward to your beginners guide. As someone who knows nothing about flying a drone it's going to be a huge help.
@@AirPhotography thank you! I think I’m going to have to upgrade. I use my mini on motorcycle trips and more than a few times wind has been an issue. I love the small size and that, as an American, I can use it in Canada. But the high wind warnings and bad shots due to wind are very annoying. I’d step up to the air 2 but I gotta stay under the magical 250 grams.
I just got mine today. I ordered the Fly more bundle. Nothing came pre charged so now I am charging the remote and the batteries. I know this is in the specs but it's only an issue because I have to charge everything and they only give you one USB-c charging cable. These aren't cables everyone necessarily has around the house. It would have been nice if they spent another dollar and put a second cable in the box especially with the fly more bundle.
Good video! Thanks for editing out all the flung and just keeping the useful content.. so many don’t do that. Looks like you prepared for this well and then edited to the parts showing what is most useful. Excellent and thanks!
Definitely prefer the green lights on the controller over the white lights, even though it doesn't really matter. If I can get someone to buy my air 1, then I'll get the air 2, but the mini 2 looks good as well. Great video
Happy to say that once I got a product before you :D Excited for future tips and tricks videos from you however! Could you please do a video on the battery maintenance and discharging/storing them? I heard that the dji batteries require some attention for care. Coming from a GoPro that seems a little confusing 😔 Lastly I wish you could open the case full 180. I'm finding my opening cover very rigid. And it only seems to go up to 60 degrees.
Recently I lost my Mavic mini in sea , as you mentioned last article having few issues with wi if , today I just bought new Mavic mini 2 I will also making a unboxing video thanks for your guidance bro.
Can you link the Smith&Wesson unboxing knife please? It seems to be of quality, I ordered a paracord neck knife from them thinking it would be good because of the well known Smith&Wesson name but it turned out to be a 3rd party licensed dull made in china knife so I‘m looking for replacement
When you opened this did anything sound loose inside the drone. I just purchased one and it sounds like there is something moving around there when until the drone to its sides.
@@AirPhotography Otterbox does take the cake for being thicc 🤣 but thankfully my case isn't anywhere close to being like an Otterbox but it is drop resistant. But I can't mount my phone onto my Pocket or onto my OM2, or with the controller when I had my Spark.
Yes you have to charge them initially when you first get it. Not only to charge them but they must be plugged in to activate them when they are brand new
I have an actually flown it yet I just received it today tomorrow I’m heading out to do my first flight send some testing. But when I can say so far is I love how small and portable this is. It’s gonna be a great little travel drone
@@AirPhotography definitely gonna check out your Mavic air 2 review, I love the portability of the mini and I skipped it because of the wifi but now it has occusync so I might just jump on it now! the Mavic air 2 was perfect for me upgrading from a spark, but I got turned off because I don't really want to get a license in Canada, but I will eventually study looking forward to see your flight comparisons! definitely would be perfect to travel with!
Just got mine, seems great but I hate that softcase already. Seems unfit for getting carried on rough trails in a backpack. It''s more like dad do a little flight in the park on a calm Sunday.
Super cool! And great video. Wish I knew the mavic mini 2 had a much better camera than the mini. I might return it and upgrade to this model instead since I’ve only had the mini for about a week. Just wish the battery charging hub also acted as a portable battery pack. That would just be the cherry on top!
Hi Mate, thanks for the video, i have my mini 2 on order but wont be opening until xmas. Unlike other unboxes i really appreciate the time spent looking in and at the bag itself. Do you think this bag will suffice as the all round storage and day out bag for the drone. Once again thanks
Yes I think it will be sufficient for most people. When everything is packed inside there’s still some extra space for some accessories or perhaps other small gear you need to bring
@@AirPhotography thanks for the reply, this is my first drone and will be my only piece of equipment for now. Will this bag slide inside a regular backpack also Cheers again
First unboxing I've seen where you've actually taken care not to throw around the drone and accessories! Everyone else seems to treat them like crap :)
Just wondering as a fellow Canadian how you got it so fast? and where you ordered it from? Thanks for the great videos though always have exactly what I’m looking for!
I ordered mine on Amazon And they were offering it with next day delivery. I did put a link to the Canadian Amazon in the description of the video. Some Best Buy’s did have them in stock, but a lot of them are sold out now
New Version of Mini 2 issue: Hi Shawn...Today (Friday) I flew the DJI Mini-2 with the Newer Ver of the OS. When I was in Hover Mode I did not see the ""Little Pointed Tip" at the bottom of the DJI-Fly App, its just not there. I fly in Cine Mode most of the time. I switched to "Normal Mode" and its still missing. The Zoom function in Photo Mode was fine but I do miss that little "Arrow Pointer" that shows the Drone Heading and what looks like a Spray path to determine my location to the Drone. Have you got any comments from other uses of the New Version 1.02 about this feature missing?? . Can you test that a well and see if its just me? I use the Standard Grey Controller. Let me know please. You have way more experience with the Mini-2 and appreciate your feed back..Ron
I got this drone for my birthday a few months ago. I'm a beginner pilot and this drone is definitely a good one to get my feet wet into the hobby. Because I'm not FAA licensed and only fly for hobby purposes, I've only flown it in my backyard, but it's very easy to fly. My only complaint is that I wish it could take off just by pushing up on the left thumstick on the controller instead of having to use the "take off" button in the app, just feels weird for some reason.
You do realize that u can take off like that right. All u have to do is put ur control sticks down and in to start the motors and then u can takeoff using the left stick.
I'm an absolute newbie, this was a great help. I even found the parts & pieces I overlooked, thought were missing. A big hats off to you, thank you!
Thank you
Bought mine on Tuesday and it is worth the upgrade. Went +6000 ft distance in what seemed in an instant with NO connectivity issues or lag in 4k video. Trust me get one if your thinking about it. Worth the money!!!
R u allowed to fly out of line of sight …?
@@dosomestuff1949 In California I can. I fly this bad boy and lose sight of it quickly. But it always comes back.
@@JorgeHernandez-hd4dw dang lucky. I live in Canada so I can’t fly out of vlos
@@JorgeHernandez-hd4dw although I have done it with the mini se with no problems either
@@dosomestuff1949 I will let you know around the 31st how the mini 3 pro handles. $1300 but worth it.
Dude, how is this guy opening this and not freaking out in happiness? I would be absolutely SCREAMING in joy! XD
Ikr. I just got an se and I was legit happy asf.
Lol
Im getting one in Christmas, im pretty exited tbh, its my first expensive drone
@@Sychyx Awesome! You should reply to this again and lemme know how you like it! :D
😂 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂
Outstanding like usual mate
Yes, you are late to the unboxing party. But you mentioned 4 or 5 details the other unboxers missed. Great video meticulous details. Well done!
I’ve been waiting for so long thank you
Love this drone, if I ever save the money I SHALL BUY IT. Love the vid and I’m 30sec in!!
Wait until black Friday. You can get the mini 2 around $300 to $350, or get the air 2 for 500
@@karurosur1510 Thanks🙏 But I won’t have enough money even by then. 😄 That’s a lot of money for me lol

Same here, get mine tomorrow, can’t wait 😊

Awesome as always Sean. And I'll watch this no matter how long it's been out! Great job buddy! 👍👍👍👍💙💙💙

My cousin bought one for 900 dollars and gave it to me the next day after he let me use it and I liked it. Thank you so much Ryan
Yep, short, sweet and on point as Roger B said, Much appreciated. Sounds like you know your droneage. (new word)
I’m so glad you did a video on this! I haven’t watched any other videos on the mini 2 yet cause I was waiting for you to make one.
Thank you I appreciate that more videos on there mini 2 Throughout the week

it is so clean thats one thing i like about it
Nice

great video as always,
One question, would an ipad mini fit in the bag?
Does it auntomatically have storage to record or is that something you need to buy extra?
you are awesome inspiration. thank you for all the information and videos. god bless
Definitely prefer the green lights on the controller over the white lights, even though it doesn't really matter. If I can get someone to buy my air 1, then I'll get the air 2, but the mini 2 looks good as well. Great video
Definitely the green lights will make it easier to see outside during the day.
Good 1 Shaun
What's the total weight of the package? Planning to carry overseas.
Loving the 'corporate plant' 😂
Do you have videos showing how to put music to videos shot with drone?
Do you sell any of your old products?
Good helpful videos.
Is there a way to use this new controller with the 1st edition of the mini?
Would you recommend this over the Fimi x8 2020
Does it have to be registered with Canadian government
It was so cute.
Dislikes are from people that just bought mini 1
Thank you so much..please make a video on 1st frying experience 😍
Yes that is on my agenda this morning
You’ll definitely receive a vid of me frying my drone. What me to review my experience in the process?
Love your u boxing and reviews videos . Subs✌️

Great video as we usually used to watch out of your great channel buddy. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you
Does it come with sd card or?
Dude. You always have the latest and greatest. Get sponsored already !!!!
Hopefully it will quickly enter Indonesia, I already have a Mavic Mini 1, wait for Mavic Mini 2
Does the fly more combo, only have the bag
Yes only when you purchase the fly more combo do you get a case
@@AirPhotography aww mannn!!! :(
Thank you for this 😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏
i like it
The 4k, occusync, increased wind resistance and speed are the factors that make me want to buy one!
Anyone want to by a Mavic mini 1 of me? haha :)
Do you want to buy my mavic mini 1?
@@leaflux_gaming5668 I had a mini 1 I sold it to get a mini 2.
@@tkennedy5665 I’m still trying to sell mine
the ocusync and new controller are the things i would like on my mavic mini but dont have money for new so im happy with this
I really want a Dji drone and this drone seems perfect.
i don't know how to convince my parents though
Ask them for the air 2 first, then when they see the price ask them for the mini 2. Also, the air 1 is also a really good DJi drone.
Show them a more expensive dji drone then say but this ones cheaper and it’s about the same if you buy a cheap one it won’t last long or do good
@@simplegaming1505 Its 800 bucks
Get a job next summer and make enough money to buy half. Then ask them for the other half of the price
@@diarmuid858 ye I'm 16 and I could participate to be a supervisor for the elementary kids during summer camp thanks for the advice.
Literally just got mine today.
Was this the fly more combo thing?
yes

Noob here, this is my first drone, really been looking forward to getting it. Thanks for the tips because the instructions suck…..I hate pictographs.
Will a phone in a case fit into those controller arms? I am seriously considering this IF it does.
I use an apple silicone case and it fits in with no issue. However I have read that thicker case is like an OtterBox will not fit
@@AirPhotography
Otterbox does take the cake for being thicc 🤣 but thankfully my case isn't anywhere close to being like an Otterbox but it is drop resistant. But I can't mount my phone onto my Pocket or onto my OM2, or with the controller when I had my Spark.
Do the original Mavic mini batteries work with the new mini?
yes, but the mini two batteries won't work with the original mini
Did you have to charge the three batteries upon unboxing?
Yes you have to charge them initially when you first get it. Not only to charge them but they must be plugged in to activate them when they are brand new
@@AirPhotography Thank you. And which sd card do you suggest: Sandisk Extreme or Sandisk Extreme Pro?
