Hey, thanks for the video Kev. I've been watching your videos and others, including Shaun the Drone's about the gimbal pointing up on the way down from the rocket quick shot. I hadn't updated my Mini 4 Pro for a while. It was on aircraft firmware 01.00.0700, so I had it do a rocket. Sure enough, the gimbal pointed up on the way down and stayed there. So I updated to V01.00.0800 and did another rocket, and that fixed it! Yay! Thanks to you, Shaun, and all the others for your very informative videos! And yes, I'm looking up to the Lord too! 😊 Oh yeah, and I wish they'd move the height back to where it was too!
Hahaha. Yea man this is a head scratcher. I guess there’s been a few new videos out covering this issue lately and nobody seems to know what the issue really is. We’ll see how DJI addresses it or if they address it. I’m glad the update worked for you though for sure. Thanks as always for watching, buddy. I hope you don’t have a set back next time. Hahaha.
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching and commenting as always, buddy. Kristi says hi back by the way. lol. Hopefully your update goes in smooth. Let me know if you have the same problem. I’d be interested to hear
lol so far so good. But it did get pretty cold this week. We are in WV right now though and it’s freezing! It snowed the last couple days. Nothing stuck but it’s still in the 20s.
Love the names of your drones Mr Roberts makes me chuckle every time you mention one😅 My four are named after our Beatles, your probably too young to remember them😅.🇬🇧👌👊
Hahahaha. I remember the Beatles. My parents had a few of their records when I grew up. lol. It’s pretty cool to name your drones after them, too. It’s always nice to have a theme. Hahahab we just randomly name them but Dwight, Jack and rose were all Kristi’s names. She’s better with names than I am. lol. You’ll laugh but we get a lot of comments calling me juvenile and other words for naming the drones. Those people have no sense of humor. Haha
Bottom left map signal moving all around someone told me tap that map the controller will level out in be steady it works. Fast an furious. Keep on flying my friend.
lol yea that radar can be pretty annoying. I normally just use the map when I’m flying but sometimes I forget to swap it over. Thanks so much for watching and for the tip, brother. God bless!
@WeretheRoberts its the controller that is moving moving you know what you're doing. Dji mini4pro rc2 I got is pretty awesome. Love your videos. Keep on flying my friend. God bless
@WeretheRoberts hey there. I did the rocket with my mini4pro. Tat thing did the gimbal shooting straight up halfway in return. Weird huh. The got an app for that lol some thing to fix??
Hey Kevin, another great video. It’s nice to know what all these update are “fixing” since DJI can’t be bothered with a fix list after each update.😊Thanks for sharing…
I got a chance to fly again today and tested the rocket shot on the new update, and it still does the same with the camera. I was just happy to get a flight in today after all the rain and wind we've had here lately.
lol good deal. I think I remember you mentioning the new update on another comment. I can tell you right now we’re visiting my family West Virginia and it’s pretty cold. I may not get to fly for a few days. lol.
It would be getting cold over your way. We're just coming into summer here, and the storm season is only just starting. It's a little early this year, but nothing we haven't seen before.
I noticed when you did those quick shots with both the mini 2 and mini 4 you started at 23 feet in altitude with the mini 2 plus the 160 feet with a total of 183 feet and with the mini 4 at 33.5 feet plus 120 feet for a total of 153+ feet. I thought it would just go the altitude you set it to. I gotta keep that in mind when I do quick shots now. I don't want to go over the legal limit when doing those quick shots. Another great video Kevin. Thanks for the update and God bless as always.
lol that’s a great observation, brother. I always forget that part until I see it after I hit go but it’s definitely a good thing to keep your eye on. I think you just came up with a test idea here though. What happens when you do a quickshot and it approaches the height limit? Does it limit out at the 400 feet and stop or does it go until it finishes the quick shot? I’m writing this one down. lol. Thanks again, buddy.
@WeretheRoberts that would be a great test. I would like to find out if doing a quick shot from a certain height distance would go over the legal limit.
Hi Kevin. I just finished watching the whole playlist about the mini 4 pro... amazing, congratulations and thanks. I wanted to tell you something. If I remember correctly, in none of your videos did I see that you do a compass calibration on the controller, nor a stick calibration. It is recommended to do it in each firmware update. The same as with the drone. Maybe with those little things you can improve the landings, the drift (which I saw on a couple of occasions). Did you try updating both the drone and the controller through the computer using the DJI Assistant 2 and the DJI RC 2 (Consumer Drones Series)? They say it is more reliable than doing it via Wi-Fi. for being so bold, and for the translation through the translator hahaha God bless you, bye.
Oh wow you actually made it through that playlist? Hahaha. Thanks so much for watching and for the support, buddy. Regarding the compass calibration, I seriously haven’t thought about that at all. That’s hilarious. I’ve done the imu calibrations so often it’s second nature but I seem to forget about the compass. Thanks for the tip for sure. God bless!!!
Great test as always brother, I think rose was dodging flies at the start moving left and right, she never fails to impress though! I think Dwight must of heard you say there is a 100ft tree so went a bit higher haha! I notice the rocket adds on to the height you already start at , does this automatically stop at 400ft if you say start it-at a height that would take it over? All looked good though apart from the gimbal up, I guess it depends which firmware Ben was using , maybe they have already fixed this issue? Awesome as always brother, good to see antennas up too haha , have a great weekend! 👌👍🙏🙏
lol this issue is a head scratcher for sure. Rose was playing Siri games there for a minute. Hahaha. You have a great question about the 400 feet and I have a test in mind for that in the future for sure. I’ll add your comment to that one. :) thanks for watching again and the support. You rock!
@@WeretheRobertshaha it definitely is brother ! Oh that’s fantastic, look forward to that one and Thankyou very much ! Hr we tv videos as always, stay safe brother and catch you on the next one! 👌👏🙏🙏
I can't remember the video where I read that a pilot just had a fly away. I think it happened like two days ago. I think that update could be bad. I honestly couldn't say, because I don't have any mini drones and I don't think I've updated my drones yet either. I think the last update I did was when DJI had the RID update. Awesome video Kevin. 👍👍👍
Dang that would suck. Could you imagine having a fly away because you updated to the most current update provided by the company who makes the drone? I wonder if they’ll honor the fly away protection or if the pilot even had it. I can’t remember what it’s called. lol.
That hand catch was hilarious man 😂 Maybe if the mini 4 pro was updated to the latest fly app the problem would be solved? I’ll test mine this week and check. Great test tho 👍
lol I’m glad it made you laugh. I laughed, too. I felt like rose and I were on some slapstick comedy routine and I wasn’t in the loop. Hahaha. Definitely keep us updated on what the new update does with the camera. That would be an awesome test.
That was another really nice video. I had to laugh when you tried to catch Rose. Really great. I myself have had the problem with the mini 4 pro for a while, that it suddenly wobbles a lot in the air when I suddenly fly forward. Sometimes it looks really scary and I'm afraid that it might crash. Does that sound familiar to you??
Hahaha. Rose was trying to play a joke on me I think. That was hilarious. She’s definitely a Roberts. I have to say it’s a yea too regarding the Mini 4 pro. It doesn’t seem like it is too steady in small breezes and it moves quite a bit when I tap the sticks trying to fine tune his position. But if you watch the footage, the gimbal masks that great. I just wish I could be a bit more smooth on the hand catch.lol
@19:54 you know what that means? mini5pro will do 90 degrees up. they update to get the next ones ready im thinking. if you manually move mini4p gimbal to 90 degrees its possible. hey you never know. at first the sensors were sensors then they turned into black and white cameras all of a sudden. DJI is getting on that i bet they know what theyre doing
Dude you could be onto something here. One thing is for certain with DJI. You never know what they have up their sleeve. And it’s usually a good thing. lol.
I had Gordon put today and used 2 batteries. I’ve really got to know him. I did 2 similar videos with him and James the CFLY to get a comparison. Gordon won 😂 We had a dry day here with only 7mph wind (14 gusts). I know he’s on 1.15.1, I know 1.15.5 is available though. Yep seeing the 01 is a better view of your cup “”Dixie horn sounds”” I’m not to pro yet with the sticks, I tried a kind of cinematic around an old centurion tank we have in our town. We built them here in the 2nd world war. The Centurion. I’ll pop the video on and tag you. Thanks Kevin, Rose, and Dwight for the entertainment 👍🏼
Heck yea, man. It’s always awesome when the weather cooperates. lol. I’m not surprised that Gordon won. Hahaha. Looking forward to the video, brother. Thanks as always for watching.
@WeretheRoberts no worries. Thank you for the mention. It actually made my morning waking up to that. I did test the rocket shot again on the latest update and the camera still does the same thing.
@WeretheRoberts i noticed my drone also did something new today with the dronie feature. It used to just take the shot and return exactly how it left off, but today, it did a 180-degree turn right at the end of the return. I wouldn't call it a problem as it seems like a really cool feature.
Hey Garry. Thanks for watching and for commenting. I’ve not done a night flight in a really long time and haven’t paid much attention to the LED lights. I’ll try to pay more attention to that next flight and see what it does. Maybe we could make that part of a video. Hmmmmm. lol.
The LED's turn off in video mode. I don't know why , but its normal! If you switch back to camera mode, they will turn back on. I was returning on a night flight and I couldn't see my drone. I turned on the landing light😄👍🏻
@@scottrock7407really? That's interesting and I think the lights need to stay on all the time as there were other drones flying around at the fireworks display and I couldn't see exactly where mine was flying. Oh and my friend has a DJI mini 4 pro and his lights flash all the time.
@@WeretheRoberts yes and I think DJI need to do a software update to switch them on permanently as I was flying around other drones at a fireworks display and I couldn't really see where the bloody thing was .
@WeretheRoberts I couldn't tell you if it was added recently. I had my drone for around 2 or 3 weeks. I bumped into that sweet tip while doing research on my drone while it was being shipped to me. I hope you and the wife are enjoying that tip!!! :-)
Hahaha. You may have just saved the marriage! lol. Just kidding. She don’t get that upset but it’s definitely not gonna hurt. I can’t wait to get the drone up and try this.
@WeretheRoberts it will probably take you some time to get used to it, but I'm sure you'll welcome to change!! I can't recall if it mutes the other warnings like obstacles or not, though. I leave the mute on pretty much 100% of the time. I love flying my drone, it's very therapeutic. I had a chance to use it last week as a kind of surveillance device when we had sketchy people park in front of the house. Recently, there had been a string of home invasions, so we've been paranoid. I'm sure it was just young people smoking pot but kinda weird to be smoking pot with no plates on the front or back of the car!!! Drone worked flawlessly sneaking up to the back of the car to try to record the plates, 🤣
Kind of off subject, the "radar" display on the lower left, could you have chosen the map instead? How useful is it to use the radar display rather than a map? Reason I ask, my drone is quite old by today's standards and DJI has broken the map function, so all I have is the radar display. Jim
Hey, Jim! Thanks for watching and commenting l, buddy. I used to use just the map when I flew because the radar jumps around like you saw on the Mini 4 pro. I honestly don’t see any real use for the radar though as you say because if you can use the map, it’s easier to orient yourself back to the home point and seeing the sold red line between the drone and homepoint is a huge help. Especially when you inadvertently lose sight of the drone in the sky. I think I keep it on the radar now just to annoy people because it jumps around so much. Hahaha.
Dang that blows. We don’t have the Mini 3 pro and this is the first I’ve heard of this issue. Have you checked in with Nobbygreen? He’s usually really up to speed on all this stuff.
Hahahaha. But that would be narcissistic. Even though wife isn’t there, we still have Jack, Rose and Dwight, not to mention the truck (whose name is somewhat secret) and they’re all Roberts too.
I’ve been told it’s a firmware issue so I reckon when they release them next firmware update, maybe we’ll see it corrected? Who knows? Haha. At least it gives us something to look forward to, right?
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. That’s definitely a possibility for sure. Someone mentioned a long time ago the camera moves like that when the drone stops moving forward because the drone stops so quickly the imu limits out and the camera moves forward and can’t move back on its own. Weird and annoying regardless of why it does it. lol
As far as I know it’s only a problem with the rocket. I’ve never had any gimbal issues with the Mini 4 pro other than the jitters from time to time. It’s never moved up like this when I’m just flying a normal flight. It has to be a glitch of sorts, eh?
lol I’ve been told by a few different viewers to turn on the controller first but honestly I’ve never noticed any difference either. Thanks for the support! lol. God bless, buddy
i have akways been able to tilt my mini 4 pro camera upwards by 60 degrees. BTW Dwight was already past 84 ft and still climbing when the video edit cuts to the RTH and altitude shows 102 feet. You seemed to wonder why the drone was at 102 ft but seems possible that was raised to that height by you?
lol the 60 degrees upwards movement is probably right. I’m just used to the Mini 2 which can only go up 20 degrees past zero. I get confused easy sometimes. Hahaha. I’m not sure why though sometimes the mini 4 pro will raise itself up just a little bit when it returns home on the optimal setting so it does happen. I just think it’s weird when it does it and there’s no obstacles between him and the homepoint. I reckon it’s not a big deal but I always figured in optimal return home it would just maintain latitude until it detects an obstacle. Thanks for watching and commenting!!! God bless.
I get a lot of questions about that bracket. We call it Pete but that’s another story. Haha. I got it from Amazon and it’s definitely worth its weight. Here’s a link to the one we got and it’s surprisingly still inexpensive. a.co/d/72IOqxW
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. That radar jumping around is one of those little things that irritates the crap out of me but apparently it’s normal. It’s the way I have it set up. I guess if the radar is set up with the controller in the center it is really sensitive and moves around a lot but if you change it to where the drone is in the middle, it’ll settle down. I used to just show the map to avoid it but recently I’ve been using the radar just to annoy people. Hahaha
I have the same problem with you and ben. I have already posted this on DJI forum 3-4 days ago I guess. But they have not replied back yet. And there's also an old post on this, but have not given a solution yet. Sometimes it's not tilting up, but mostly it is tilting up after the rocket shot. DJI better get on that.(1) Hahaha but my aircraft is already up to date but the problem didnt disappeared.
I’m glad to known Ben and I aren’t the only special ones. Hahaha. I haven’t seen any forums (I always forget to look at those) but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard it mentioned in some other videos. DJI better on that. lol that’s hilarious JJ Drones said that could be our new catch phrase. Lol
Yea man I’ve heard the same thing. I’ve been boycotting the updates for the 4 pro because of the active track updates and problems. I’m trying to wait until they get it all resolved and I’ll update it. No idea when that’ll happen though. lol
You know Kevin the batteries on the mini 2 are not real new. I bet they lost some capacity. I just checked my iPhone 13promax and max battery capacity has dropped to 85 percent. Pretty sure drone battery degradation happens too
Yea that’s a really good possibility. I need to check their cycle status and do another flight time test on a couple of them. My iPhone 11 is down to 80 percent. lol. I feel your pain
Lol Gary, I’m still trying to figure out the point of our channel so once we figure that out maybe we can focus on the specifics. Hahahaha. But I’m boycotting the mini 4 update for now because of all the changes to active track. I’m being rebellious I reckon. lol. I normally update the Mini 2 though because a lot of our viewers still fly their mini 2 drones and don’t have the 4 pro. I’m here to serve. Hahaha
Hahaha. No doubt, man. Probably gonna address the “certain issues and optimize overall app quality” or something like that. I sure wish they’d address that. Hahaha
lol. Good ole Neil. That phone bracket is totally worth its weight for sure. I got it on Amazon a while ago. Here’s the Amazon link for the one I got. Thanks for watching, brother!!! a.co/d/gOoFlju
Oh wow I didn’t know that. Maybe that’s why the Mini 4 pro is still topped out on the 1.15.4? I use iPhone with our mini 2 drones so I’m not sure why they always seem to have different versions for iPhone vs android. It’s weird, eh?
How many birds can you kill with 8 stones? Obviously depends on your stone to bird ratio. Or is it bird to stone? I can never remember which way that goes. Is it memory to direction, or direction -> recall? I'll have to really give it deep thought. Thought depth - depth of thought. I'm more confused than when I got here. I'll be back, eventually. Need to rest my head a while. 😮 *
It’s all got to do with Mountain Dew cans in the window of the circle K down the street. Nothing to do with memory I think but I may be wrong. I forget, too. Have you recovered yet?
@WeretheRoberts Its a slow process. I think I am recovering, but I could be getting worse, which makes me think I'm doing better. But I'm still glad we had this chat. We have solved some serious problems, only not when we're trying.
DJI Mini 2 Pro? What is it? I checked my Mini 2 with DJI Smart Remote Controller - DJI Fly = 1.14.2 up to date. The DJI Mini 4 Pro with DJI RC 2 (Model RC331) DJI Fly = 1.15.4 up to date. Mini 4 Pro Firmware 1.00.08. Using the DJI RC-N3 (Model RC151) with a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra DJI Fly app is 1.15.4 Up to date at 12/1/2024 16:00 MST - What is a Mini 2 Pro? Normally I pass viewing your videos, while you have useful information I find it agitating watching you risk others lives with distracted driving, when a death occurs I don't want to feel responsible for encouraging your reckless behavior by watching your videos.
lol Mini 2 pro is a joke. I made that up a while ago and I’m trying to see if it sticks. I mean, the mini 2 is better than the mini 2se so shouldn’t it be a pro? I think so, too. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting. I’m not sure what distracted driving you’re mentioning in the video here by the way. Just a heads up, next weeks video there’s no in car footage. lol. God bless and thanks again.
Its always good to see you pal. And fun. Enjoy your day.
Awesome, Ron! Thanks for watching as always brother. It’s always good to see you, too by the way. :)
I think you've finally solidified your catch phrase as, "DJI you better get on that" 😂
Hahahaha. Did I say it twice today? I’m not quite sure I deserve a catch phrase.
@WeretheRoberts you've got it😂😂😂
lol. I’ll probably forget to use it. I may need a reminder. Haha
Snap, I've had a question about the Rocket on the Mini 4 Pro which I will try later in the week Great video Kev as always - thanks for sharing the fun

@19:54 you know what that means? mini5pro will do 90 degrees up. they update to get the next ones ready im thinking. if you manually move mini4p gimbal to 90 degrees its possible. hey you never know. at first the sensors were sensors then they turned into black and white cameras all of a sudden. DJI is getting on that i bet they know what theyre doing
Dude you could be onto something here. One thing is for certain with DJI. You never know what they have up their sleeve. And it’s usually a good thing. lol.
I had Gordon put today and used 2 batteries. I’ve really got to know him. I did 2 similar videos with him and James the CFLY to get a comparison. Gordon won 😂 We had a dry day here with only 7mph wind (14 gusts).
I know he’s on 1.15.1, I know 1.15.5 is available though.
Yep seeing the 01 is a better view of your cup “”Dixie horn sounds””
I’m not to pro yet with the sticks, I tried a kind of cinematic around an old centurion tank we have in our town. We built them here in the 2nd world war. The Centurion.
I’ll pop the video on and tag you.
Thanks Kevin, Rose, and Dwight for the entertainment 👍🏼
Heck yea, man. It’s always awesome when the weather cooperates. lol. I’m not surprised that Gordon won. Hahaha. Looking forward to the video, brother. Thanks as always for watching.
I have done the recent update recently, so i will test rocket shots again soon.
Sweet! Yea definitely let me know what it does with the update. I’m not expecting it to be fixed though. lol. Thanks for the test idea, Ben.
@WeretheRoberts no worries. Thank you for the mention. It actually made my morning waking up to that. I did test the rocket shot again on the latest update and the camera still does the same thing.
lol that’s awesome, buddy. The making your day part. Not the rocket still screwed up part. lol
@WeretheRoberts i noticed my drone also did something new today with the dronie feature. It used to just take the shot and return exactly how it left off, but today, it did a 180-degree turn right at the end of the return. I wouldn't call it a problem as it seems like a really cool feature.
I have a mini 4 pro and took it for a dusk flight, I noticed that the green LEDs were not flashing in flight! Have you ever seen this problem?
Hey Garry. Thanks for watching and for commenting. I’ve not done a night flight in a really long time and haven’t paid much attention to the LED lights. I’ll try to pay more attention to that next flight and see what it does. Maybe we could make that part of a video. Hmmmmm. lol.
The LED's turn off in video mode. I don't know why , but its normal!
If you switch back to camera mode, they will turn back on. I was returning on a night flight and I couldn't see my drone. I turned on the landing light😄👍🏻
Holy crap that’s awesome info!
@@scottrock7407really? That's interesting and I think the lights need to stay on all the time as there were other drones flying around at the fireworks display and I couldn't see exactly where mine was flying. Oh and my friend has a DJI mini 4 pro and his lights flash all the time.
@@WeretheRoberts yes and I think DJI need to do a software update to switch them on permanently as I was flying around other drones at a fireworks display and I couldn't really see where the bloody thing was .
Was it the weight of the nd filter that pushed the gimbal back that far. As always, using filters can effectively damage the gimbal motor over time 😮
Hmmmmm. Now that is a definite possibility, man. I’m gonna have to test that out. You’ve come up with some awesome test ideas, man.
If you want to mute the RTH beep, you can mute it in the top menu where you can turn on and off the wifi
Are you serious? I’ve never seen that on there before. Is that something they added on an update? My wife gets so annoyed with that noise. lol
@WeretheRoberts I couldn't tell you if it was added recently. I had my drone for around 2 or 3 weeks. I bumped into that sweet tip while doing research on my drone while it was being shipped to me.
I hope you and the wife are enjoying that tip!!! :-)
Hahaha. You may have just saved the marriage! lol. Just kidding. She don’t get that upset but it’s definitely not gonna hurt. I can’t wait to get the drone up and try this.
@WeretheRoberts it will probably take you some time to get used to it, but I'm sure you'll welcome to change!! I can't recall if it mutes the other warnings like obstacles or not, though. I leave the mute on pretty much 100% of the time.
I love flying my drone, it's very therapeutic. I had a chance to use it last week as a kind of surveillance device when we had sketchy people park in front of the house. Recently, there had been a string of home invasions, so we've been paranoid. I'm sure it was just young people smoking pot but kinda weird to be smoking pot with no plates on the front or back of the car!!! Drone worked flawlessly sneaking up to the back of the car to try to record the plates, 🤣
Kind of off subject, the "radar" display on the lower left, could you have chosen the map instead? How useful is it to use the radar display rather than a map? Reason I ask, my drone is quite old by today's standards and DJI has broken the map function, so all I have is the radar display. Jim
Hey, Jim! Thanks for watching and commenting l, buddy. I used to use just the map when I flew because the radar jumps around like you saw on the Mini 4 pro. I honestly don’t see any real use for the radar though as you say because if you can use the map, it’s easier to orient yourself back to the home point and seeing the sold red line between the drone and homepoint is a huge help. Especially when you inadvertently lose sight of the drone in the sky. I think I keep it on the radar now just to annoy people because it jumps around so much. Hahaha.
The Mini 3 pro has been glitching like not finishing the autonomous flight modes when are they going to put a new update out for my poor mini3 pro ?
Dang that blows. We don’t have the Mini 3 pro and this is the first I’ve heard of this issue. Have you checked in with Nobbygreen? He’s usually really up to speed on all this stuff.
Suggestion for your next video (has nothing to do with drones!): change the name of your channel to “I’m The Roberts.” 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha. But that would be narcissistic. Even though wife isn’t there, we still have Jack, Rose and Dwight, not to mention the truck (whose name is somewhat secret) and they’re all Roberts too.
@ A secret name for your truck? Hmmmm…. 🤔
lol. Ok here it is. Areola…
@@WeretheRoberts I don’t believe that for one second!
My air 3 does same thing. I’ve told Dji about it but no fix
I’ve been told it’s a firmware issue so I reckon when they release them next firmware update, maybe we’ll see it corrected? Who knows? Haha. At least it gives us something to look forward to, right?
Is it possible that the camera shake happens because of the way the drone is going to land , it may be correcting itself to protect the camera ??
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. That’s definitely a possibility for sure. Someone mentioned a long time ago the camera moves like that when the drone stops moving forward because the drone stops so quickly the imu limits out and the camera moves forward and can’t move back on its own. Weird and annoying regardless of why it does it. lol
@ i need to start seymore up and check the camera movement when the drone starts up , this needs to be solved lol
Is this problem only for the Rocket? If I just fly the M4 normally the gimble won't tilt up right?
As far as I know it’s only a problem with the rocket. I’ve never had any gimbal issues with the Mini 4 pro other than the jitters from time to time. It’s never moved up like this when I’m just flying a normal flight. It has to be a glitch of sorts, eh?
The helix in quick shots is even more messed up on auto return when it's finished it's move at 50 metres 😊 dji mini 4 pro 😊
Dang they can’t seem to get anything right! lol. I’ll be trying this out next time I get out to fly, man. Thanks for the heads up (AGAIN) haha.
been using dji since phantom i turn remote first cause it takes longer never had an issue ether way.
lol I’ve been told by a few different viewers to turn on the controller first but honestly I’ve never noticed any difference either. Thanks for the support! lol. God bless, buddy
i have akways been able to tilt my mini 4 pro camera upwards by 60 degrees. BTW Dwight was already past 84 ft and still climbing when the video edit cuts to the RTH and altitude shows 102 feet. You seemed to wonder why the drone was at 102 ft but seems possible that was raised to that height by you?
lol the 60 degrees upwards movement is probably right. I’m just used to the Mini 2 which can only go up 20 degrees past zero. I get confused easy sometimes. Hahaha. I’m not sure why though sometimes the mini 4 pro will raise itself up just a little bit when it returns home on the optimal setting so it does happen. I just think it’s weird when it does it and there’s no obstacles between him and the homepoint. I reckon it’s not a big deal but I always figured in optimal return home it would just maintain latitude until it detects an obstacle. Thanks for watching and commenting!!! God bless.
Is the device that angles your phone on your remote a 3D Print? If so, do you have a link?
I get a lot of questions about that bracket. We call it Pete but that’s another story. Haha. I got it from Amazon and it’s definitely worth its weight. Here’s a link to the one we got and it’s surprisingly still inexpensive.

Why is your radar screen jumping around ?
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. That radar jumping around is one of those little things that irritates the crap out of me but apparently it’s normal. It’s the way I have it set up. I guess if the radar is set up with the controller in the center it is really sensitive and moves around a lot but if you change it to where the drone is in the middle, it’ll settle down. I used to just show the map to avoid it but recently I’ve been using the radar just to annoy people. Hahaha
06.05 Kevin almost looks like she's homing in/fine tuning the home point?.
lol that’s possible but with Rose id say she’s trying to hone in/fine tune her way away from me. Haha. She didn’t wanna be caught this time
@@WeretheRoberts Hahahaha, yeah I was thinking the same. What do you feed her?
@@nbrettonerpork chops and applesauce…. Hmmmmmm
@@WeretheRoberts Sigh 😍
@@WeretheRoberts Yummoh ! 🤩🙃🙂
Same issue faced by me at 4500 feet height altitude.
Yikes. I bet that was confusing. lol.
I have the same problem with you and ben. I have already posted this on DJI forum 3-4 days ago I guess. But they have not replied back yet. And there's also an old post on this, but have not given a solution yet. Sometimes it's not tilting up, but mostly it is tilting up after the rocket shot. DJI better get on that.(1) Hahaha but my aircraft is already up to date but the problem didnt disappeared.
I’m glad to known Ben and I aren’t the only special ones. Hahaha. I haven’t seen any forums (I always forget to look at those) but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard it mentioned in some other videos. DJI better on that. lol that’s hilarious JJ Drones said that could be our new catch phrase. Lol
@ hahaha. That will be your famous tag line. ____ Better get on that. 🤣 I hope they really do, since this is a long standing issue.
@Moto_GeeTee lol I agree. We’ll see if I can keep that tagline going. I’ll probably forget. Hahaha
@@WeretheRoberts don't forget it, we will do a copyright ownership on that, pretty soon. 🤣
@ hahahaha
Also- the active track has even gotten worse now on the mini 4 pro..... with the latest update.... (according to other vids I have seen)
Yea man I’ve heard the same thing. I’ve been boycotting the updates for the 4 pro because of the active track updates and problems. I’m trying to wait until they get it all resolved and I’ll update it. No idea when that’ll happen though. lol
You know Kevin the batteries on the mini 2 are not real new. I bet they lost some capacity. I just checked my iPhone 13promax and max battery capacity has dropped to 85 percent. Pretty sure drone battery degradation happens too
Yea that’s a really good possibility. I need to check their cycle status and do another flight time test on a couple of them. My iPhone 11 is down to 80 percent. lol. I feel your pain
@ I ordered a motherboard, newer AMD processors, 64 memory and liquid cpu cooler. Should take care of my computer crashing.
What's the point of doing a fly app update and not updating the mini 4. Don't get it 😊
Lol Gary, I’m still trying to figure out the point of our channel so once we figure that out maybe we can focus on the specifics. Hahahaha. But I’m boycotting the mini 4 update for now because of all the changes to active track. I’m being rebellious I reckon. lol. I normally update the Mini 2 though because a lot of our viewers still fly their mini 2 drones and don’t have the 4 pro. I’m here to serve. Hahaha
another update inbound then?..lol
Hahaha. No doubt, man. Probably gonna address the “certain issues and optimize overall app quality” or something like that. I sure wish they’d address that. Hahaha
hi its neils mate that on your controler whitch hold your phone can you tell me whot its called john nottingham k
lol. Good ole Neil. That phone bracket is totally worth its weight for sure. I got it on Amazon a while ago. Here’s the Amazon link for the one I got. Thanks for watching, brother!!!

there is NO 1.15.5 available for Android
Oh wow I didn’t know that. Maybe that’s why the Mini 4 pro is still topped out on the 1.15.4? I use iPhone with our mini 2 drones so I’m not sure why they always seem to have different versions for iPhone vs android. It’s weird, eh?
How many birds can you kill with 8 stones? Obviously depends on your stone to bird ratio. Or is it bird to stone? I can never remember which way that goes. Is it memory to direction, or direction -> recall? I'll have to really give it deep thought. Thought depth - depth of thought. I'm more confused than when I got here. I'll be back, eventually. Need to rest my head a while. 😮
*
It’s all got to do with Mountain Dew cans in the window of the circle K down the street. Nothing to do with memory I think but I may be wrong. I forget, too. Have you recovered yet?
@WeretheRoberts Its a slow process. I think I am recovering, but I could be getting worse, which makes me think I'm doing better. But I'm still glad we had this chat. We have solved some serious problems, only not when we're trying.
DJI Mini 2 Pro? What is it? I checked my Mini 2 with DJI Smart Remote Controller - DJI Fly = 1.14.2 up to date. The DJI Mini 4 Pro with DJI RC 2 (Model RC331) DJI Fly = 1.15.4 up to date. Mini 4 Pro Firmware 1.00.08. Using the DJI RC-N3 (Model RC151) with a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra DJI Fly app is 1.15.4 Up to date at 12/1/2024 16:00 MST - What is a Mini 2 Pro? Normally I pass viewing your videos, while you have useful information I find it agitating watching you risk others lives with distracted driving, when a death occurs I don't want to feel responsible for encouraging your reckless behavior by watching your videos.
lol Mini 2 pro is a joke. I made that up a while ago and I’m trying to see if it sticks. I mean, the mini 2 is better than the mini 2se so shouldn’t it be a pro? I think so, too. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting. I’m not sure what distracted driving you’re mentioning in the video here by the way. Just a heads up, next weeks video there’s no in car footage. lol. God bless and thanks again.
Anyone else find it cringy that he names his drones with people names? Weird.
I find it cringy, that you are commenting on it 🤡😅
Hahaha. Thanks for watching. We name more than drones. Have you seen any of our camper battery or power station videos? Lol
