Just bought a mini 2, had many rubbish, cheap and nasty drones and they all got either lost or smashed. Yesterday, finally thanks to watching your video's I bought one. I have flown twice and its amazing. Enjoying learning this bit of kit. Cheers.
Matthew, A serious question, I'm a newbie with drones. If I switch the display on my phone to the phone camera, will the drone continue to record video at the same time?
I don’t use an iPad myself but from what I have read some versions of iPad/cable charge and others don’t. Seems to be a bit patchy with the Fly app at the minute. Thanks for watching!
Another good one Matthew thanks. As a newbie, literally have had 2 flight sessions. You mention transfer from the SD card, do you need a card reader for that?? Thanks!!!!
I just am diving into the world of drones! I got the SE for a week but after finding all these secrets and the quality of 4k and RAW I am waiting now for my Mini 2 instead! Thank you Mattheww your videos are so helpful! Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thanks a Lot for this vídeo. I Buy My mini 2 i'm sacaré yo fly the first time. But allá these secrets give me more confidence. Thanks You from argentina buenos Aires
Your videos are INCREDIBLY packed with super valuable information. I've visited a few channels of drone video in the past few months but yours in the only one that actually made me want to stick. I don't subscribe often, but with you I did and also turned on the notifications. I hope to keep watching your videos to get better at piloting my DJI Mini 2. Thanks
Thanks for your help, Matthew. What can you share about recording Drone Tracks - a software feature/hack allowing you to record and repeat a flight? (I am a DJI Mini 2 newbie.)
Thanks for that suggestion of using the phone's cam to film takeoff/departure and arrival/landing; I never thought of that! I also love the video subtitles tip - it's a great way to learn more about all those parameters how they interact, and what good base values are to know so as to make the step away from Auto settings.
Awesome videos! I would like to video small single engine airplanes landing and taking off. As a newbie, this is challenging as it involves sideways flight along with yaw as the target moves past the drone. Any tips on how to effectively do this would be most welcome!!
Hello Matthew. Some really useful tips in this video! I've had my Mini 2 for about 5 months now, and only now just discovered that the rear LED is actually a button! I understand that you can also use this button to reconnect the drone to the controller if it refuses to connect normally. Am I correct in assuming this?
Hi Mattheww I see you have flown around Carrick-a-reed I would like to fly there but as a National Trust sits they say they have a ban on flying drones but that can only be take of and landing on there land where did you take of from or did you get permission
Question......I got into a wilderness area where there was no cel- Network. I could not fly my drone. Is there a way to over ride this and still fly ??
Hey Matthew, awesome video you have here, really helps me understand more about my drone! Quick question, does the quality of video&photos from Quick Transfer is the same as extracting them from the SD card? Thank you very much 😊
Looking at Mini 2, have srjc f11 pro. In your opinion is the mini 2 significantly more stable and smoother to control(attitude and gimbal controls) than the F11? thanks
Unfortunately, I have never flown the F11 so I can't say. I will say that the Mini 2 is the gold standard in terms of flight stability at this price range. Thanks for watching!
Man, I learned so much from this guy, I just bought mine from Costco and I need any ideas that would help me. I have fun with this thing but I am always on the edge that I may lose my $430 dollar toy.
Hi Matthew i am selling my mini 2 but can not get it back to factory settings. I dont know if it is because i am using a mac book with the assisant 2.Any help would be appreciated thank you.
Great content.. I'm.just a day away from opening my Mini 2, and it's my first drone. Looking to make what I'm anticipating to be a great hobby, into a passion and cash cow. Gonna learn the basics with this Mini and then on to bigger, better, drones.
BUY THE INSURANCE! DJI care it's called. Not sure your location but if you're in the USA it cost $50 up front and if you crash and need it replaced the first time costs you $50 and second time costs you $60. If you have a fly away or lose the drone all together it's $150 I believe. I crashed my mini 2 into small pond before purchasing DJI care and had to pay $318 for a replacement through DJI service center.. Enjoy your mini 2, I love mine.
Awesome, I bet you are excited. The Mini 2 is a great drone for beginners and even experienced pilots. The nice thing is if you learn to fly the Mini 2, when it comes time to move on to bigger drones they basically fly the same. Have fun! Send me some footage when you start recording, would love to see it!
@@TheDroneCreative Keeping in mind that the valley I fly in is all zoned out. The mini 2 because of it's size and under weight can be flown with permission. Larger drones are faced with more strict regulation and my require a license.
Every time my mini2 fly there always notification for log in otherwise you can only fly 50 m its hard in remote area where there no internet conection. How to resolve thanks
where are you from because your dialect is confusing me. took me a while to understand that vedeo was actually video. but when my brain started understanding what your were saying you gave some grate advise
Heads up - you can download your footage straight from the drone as well to your computer. Turn it on, plug it in to the USB. On Mac open imagine capture. Also, for some reason I always have to turn on phone charging. It doesn’t remember to do it automatically. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!!
I definitely did not think of plugging the drone itself to my laptop. I've only been grabbing the micro SD card and inserting it into a USB hub. This is a game changer.
i knew they took that feature away then brought it back but also took away the ability to charge the phone on and off. someone told me this so i did not update my phone because of just that feature i like being able too turn it on and off myself that way i don't keep charging the phone the whole time and drane the controller. also i subscribed to your channel you have a good channel very informative
Welcome along as a subscriber and thanks for taking the time to watch my video - really appreciate it. I do think being able to turn the phone charging feature on and off was a worthwhile addition, but I am sure they have good reason to remove that toggle.
@@TheDroneCreative The option to turn “phone charging” on and off in the Fly app is back (at least in iOS). This is very important if phone is overheating during charging, and thereby dimming the screen. Update to latest app, and restart app. You may have to restart phone to get the toggle to appear.
@@MrPlaneTalk i updated the app and the phone i don't see the "phone charging" feature at all i restarted it and and the phone did i do something wrong? any idea how i can get a pervious version at all i knew i should not have updated it
You can press and hold the come to home button and zoom in and out With the button that makes the gimbal up and down just hold the come to home button and zoom in and out with the back scroll button.
Nicely done! I like your process of showing the skill and then explaining it. I really like how you keep it short, sweet, and really on point. Your comfort on camera is engaging for me. I like your studio shot. Can you share the camera and settings you use for your studio shot? Cheers!
Appreciate the great feedback. I use a Sony a6400 with a Sigma 16mm lens at f1.4. Light is provided by the monitors in-front of me and a cheap Neewer LED light.

ok, so watching a video about secret features and settings... 1:40 - "it's not possible to turn off charging mode on the controller" *me looking at the "enable/disable charging" settings in the app* this doesn't bode well for the rest of the video if you missed a non-secret setting...
Videos I watched about drones no one has ever heads up about flying your drone two or three feet above snow water or ice, most of the time does okay, but don't ever try to go full speed while being that close to anything that can possibly reflect back to the center I've lost two drones that way they just end up crashing down word in a second before you can do anything it almost feels like it goes down by itself
RTH I don’t think engages with in 20m of the Home Point. You either land where your at, hover or fly it to the Home Point, or it will land where its at on its own.

Shouldn't be surprised. Your content is actually really good.
iOS phone charging is NOT on by default, current firmware requires turning on EVERY time you fly.. A major PIA.

Hi Matthew,does the phone charging work with a iPad mini which I use?
I don’t use an iPad myself but from what I have read some versions of iPad/cable charge and others don’t. Seems to be a bit patchy with the Fly app at the minute. Thanks for watching!
Which Ipad mini do you use?
I'm using the latest iPad mini.
Thank you. I never thought about using the iPhone video! Going out right away to try it.
I was wondering what software you use for post production?
Hey. I use Adobe Premiere Pro!

What does the cable connection to the cellphone do? My F11 doesn't use one.Thanks

what's a Dji Manatee? :D
The gamble button should be used to control elevation, right stick should be used for rotate and for gimbal to look up and down
It's even better running the DJI app and my phone's camera app side by side on my z fold 3.

01:50 - so you get a full phone , but an empty controller?! well thats smart...
how do i fly with no cell phone couldn't find any help
