I just watched Episode 2...then searched for # 1!! You are an excellent smooth presenter!! The audio descriptions combined with the video examples are just stellar!! Thanks so much for helping us exploring the world of drone photography and more.
As a new drone owner I love these short instructions. Looking at long video’s is challenging on concentration and at the end you don’t know what you all saw and ‘learnt’. So please continue with this. Thank you and all good fortune for your wife, yourself and your family from Maastricht in The Netherlands.
Please note: The settings of the RC2 controller for the DJI Mini Pro 4 does allow you to directly record the controller screen to the external micro SD card. The slot is not just a spare SD card storage slot. Thanks for the excellent videos.
My wife and I have been praying for you wife
I am still waiting for my zing remote ID module you recommended it’s been 60 days can you give me some input on this device?
Great tips Russ! keep em coming!!
Wishing u great success in your NEW JOURNEY. We all have our crosses to bear.
Keep it up Russ!
Thanks for the tips. I'm a total newb. I loved it when you said the blades flop all over the place and shook the drone to demonstrate and they stayed locked in place 😂
Lol. I noticed that too!
Great collaboration of some amazing quick tips Russ! Been working with Drones for years, but with constant updates and new features, it’s easy to forget what these new Drones can do. Keep them coming!
I think really when we watch your videos we get connected to the person and what kind of a person they are and if we like you, we feel that we know you and we feel connected the people we know and care about. Hopefully that makes sense take care, and my thoughts are with you and your family.
Keeping your wife and you and your family in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏🙏 like the format
Wow, great tips. Hope you’ll be able to make this a whole series of (more) tips! Thx 😊
Russ thanks for the Mini4Pro tips. My favorite improvement over the Mini3Pro: Cruise Control. Love it on the Air 3 and when I saw it was on the Mini4Pro, I had to upgrade.
Keep your chin up Russ!
Liked your quick tips for the mini 4 pro. Thanks!
Thanks for the info you provide it's a great help!
Excellent tips Russ!
Hi Russ! Not too long as I started to follow you but I feel like you're like a friend. So, I really hope that everything goes good with your wife and family.
And yes, this type of videos are good too. Blessings🙏
great tips, thanks ! Stay strong 💪🏻
Great idea on the memory card box. Velcro FTW my friend - keeps controller pristine / all weather, and can be removed later for resale.
Great format. And thoughts and prayers to you and your wife.
Great content for us new folk !!
Great tips vid !!! Hope things are going well....
Great tips are that useful and helpful.
I'm new to the drone society. I purchased a 4Pro for myself in November 2023. I'm studying for my series 107. I love your content and keep continuing to learn from your videos. I look forward to your content in 2024 as I train to be a pro who can make a part-time living with my awesome DJI pro4...👍💯🎯
Thanks for another informative video on the mini 4 pro 👍
Your advice about the phantom obstacle avoidance was exactly what I was questioning and looking for advice/suggestion. Thank You Best wishes for your family!
Great videos.
Thank you.
Yeah, I tend to always forget my SD cards. So, I just ordered 4 more from your link so I can just throw them in my drone box, and not have to worry about them.
Now, I have more than enough when I need. Thanks for sharing Russ. 👍👍👍
Hey Russ!! Sometime it would be sweet if you could do a segment on how to manage all this data ie backing up videos, pictures, and data.
Keep up the great work and thoughts and prayers for your wife and family! 🙏
Your videos are so good. These 5 tips are not the usual rehash found in other videos. You gave us very useful and unique tips here. Thank you.
Great tips Russ, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thanks
Thanks Sir for your informative videos,Keep Safe,God bless...from the Philippines
I appreciate the tips bro. Informative
Brilliant Russ, thank you. I've had the Mini 4 Pro for a month or so now and not flown it yet - terrible weather here in the UK!
Loving the short tips video.
Great content! Just bought my mini 4 pro the other day, this video is really helpful. :)
Thank you Russ
Thanks for these clips mate, I’m getting a mini 4 pro next year. Take care. Cheers Steve
I just purchased my dji 4 last night and started watching your videos to make the most out of the drone. I love the content you create and the community you've created! Keep up the amazing work!!! 💯
Hey Russ. I'm a creature of habit. Once I transfer files to PC, card goes right back into the drone. Another great video!!! 👍👍👍
Great video Russ!
Good one
Good tips 👍🏻
Thoughts are with you guys...
I like this.
That's very good information!
Just need your email buddy.
Hello Russ. Thank you for this Quick Tips, Episode 1 video. Excellent work to build a how video broken up in smaller videos. What's cool, is most of these same tips work for the DJI Air 3 too. Thank you and I prayer everything is going well with your wife's treatments 🙏🙏, your wife and family are in our prayers everyday.
Thank you Steve!
Great short tips videos! 👍

Nice!
Nothing like a good short video. Thanks Russ!! The touch screen features are pretty neat. Kinda wish you could of included a hyper lapse demo of that new feature. Maybe a overlay small screen showing us what you are describing. Honestly I am still working with the Mini 2. Besides the obstacle avoidance most if not all the tracking/mapping features have been available since the M2 debut. Kind of hate using programs like Litchi yet being able to map and manipulate maps pre-launch have saved me so much time on jobs Wish the DJI fly app allowed pre mapping via pc. DJI has always made the best drones, yet their app dept lags big time.
I do enjoy all your videos from the beginning 7ish years ago. You have helped me decide on allot of gear that helps me achieve the art I want to share. I know you do mostly review as well as tech information, yet any chance you might share some of your flights? The ambiance you created while flying the river up by Estes park, Co was outstanding . It opened up to new ideas and ambiance tricks I add to all my videos. Best wishes t your family . Have a great day!
New Mini 4 user here!
Many thanks on the fingertip gimbal control and the zoom control, I very likely would not have found those on my own. (And I had the thought of why did they only have three steps of zoom... :-) )
Rather than using something like a Velcro strap to hold the propellers, I have always used a simple rubber band. Easy, cheap and very effective
me too! hahaha. I thought I was the only one doing this.
Great playlist. Just what I needed. Side question: where did you get your hat embroidered? I need one for my biz. Love the look & style.
Hi Russ, thanks for posting another highly useful set of tips. I really like this format, quick and to the point. Have you any experience with DJI's flight simulator and would you recommend ? Prayers for your wife, Take Care and God bless.
Goid tips Russ, and the format works well. I would add: In Focus Track Settings, don't set "Camera Motion" to fast when you are around obstacles, treees, etc..Mini 4 is a champ in well lit environments, without snall bare twids or power lines, but the drone will fly quite agressively around, abd if your uncomfortable with near collisions (or what looks like them) you will want to avoid this setting.
Praying for your wife, your family and you.
Hi Russ! Hope you and your wife are doing as well as possible. We all love what you do for us & we will keep praying😀. Was flying my Air2S out at a lakefront this afternoon but this applies to all drones that have obstacle avoidance. It was getting dark but not too much and I noticed I flew really close to a tree and the drone did not even slow. I turned it toward me and tested it and it almost ran into me. I guess the low light causes the sensors to fail and the Obstacle Avoidance was not functional ? Have you run into this as it was still enough light to see and fly.
P.S. I was getting the low light warning intermittently…
Can you please do a review on the HoverAir X1??🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’ve watched other videos about it but I just like your review videos better lol
Considering it
I hope you are OK with you and your personal life. You are in my prayers. My heart goes out to you and your family. Just hold your head and keep on going that’s what she wants you to do.❤❤😊😅
Thoughts with you my brother !
This came out just in time, I just received my mini 4 pro on last Monday. I’ve been struggling with image quality. It seems like I just can’t get it dialed in. I’ve had DJI drones for roughly 8 years and this is the first one that I’ve actually had problems with quality. It doesn’t live up to what I thought it was gonna be.
Hi maybe storing mini 4 pro batteries. ( Best way,How to?) New sub.
I somehow kept loosing those velcro straps so I opted for a bag of large, thin rubber bands to secure the propellers. Keep them in the case with my Air 3 and stuff a few extra in my pocket when out in the field. Ironically, have not lost a single rubber band in over a month!
Hey that slot will actually let you record from your controller. Just thought you would like to know.
A tip for the propeller holder is to use an old sock! cut about 2-3" from the top of the sock were the elastic is, this works like a charm and is easy to put on and take off the drone, and its free!
Yes, but then my drone would smell like feta cheese.😉
@@51Drones LOL 😆 Also, one of your socks would be shorter than the other!
Are you using the hyperlapse video created by the app, or do you take all of the photos that were taken and create a hyperlapse using the photos in an editing software? If you use the photos, I would be interested in seeing a quick video on how you put that together in CapCut or something similar. Thanks.
Can you use pinch to zoom?
Have you done any tips for making the battery in a controller last a long time? I have seen videos on regular batteries. Can the battery in a controller be replaced by customers?
Prop holders: Buy some celery at the grocery store. They come with a nice wide rubber band to keep the stalks from breaking off. Trust me. A year later with my Mini 2 and that rubber band is perfect. 👍
Present.
Hi Ross. One you left out was dont try and land your drone in a large uneven sloping rock as it has it tendancey to fall off crash to the floor!
Russ, I really miss the Course Lock as a stand alone feature (not combined w/ hyperlapse) on my Mini 4 Pro... got used to using it on my previous drones... I know you're going to recommend setting a Waypoint in the direction of travel, but Course Lock on it's own was simpler... point, lock, and fly freestyle. Not sure why DJI did away with it.
What phone holder is that you are using? I like being able to use bigger devices. Any of you guys know a way i could use my wife's iPad pro as a display while flying?
⚡
Hi Russ. It appears you are using something larger than a phone as your screen. What are you using, and do you like it better than the DJI controller with the screen built in?
I use a Chinese food bowl. to store my drone and then put it in a camera bag
Hello, thanks for the video? For 300 euro more you suggest to upgrade the mini 4 pro with the new controller instead of taking it with the old one?
There are benefits to both. Sometimes I like the old controller, as it’s easier to unlock geo zones. But the RC2 is very convenient in other ways. Really is just a personal preference.
Can you please mention in a video that you can't choose a shutter speed of 1 or 2 while doing a hyperlapse on the mini 4 pro anymore... maybe dji is going to see and do something about that.
Russ, Not true about RC-2 SDCARD. After inserting, go 2 places.
1. Profile, , settings storage.
2. Pull down notification shade hit Gear, scroll to Storage.
Once added here, be sure to tap the card in notifications and select "Setup Card" - Now you can use the card, download directly to it, and cache fikes directly to it. I have a 512GB Sandisk Extreme Pro thats constantly full, and I dump to PC Storage weekly. NOW you are set!
But when you screen record, it still saves to the hard drive, not?
@@51Drones actually, yes. Screen recordings are the ONE file type that saves to "movies" on Internal storage. It's kind of redundant to copy them twice, first to SD, then to PC. Also the RC-2 often says it cannot playback some high-resolution videos, hyperlapses etc., but then plays them anyway. It's a bit buggy, for sure, but as I mentioned, it does work. Sort of, lol!
Important as a huge tip, buy a wall charger because the drone doesn't come with one. Essential for flying.
And then when you get home you will put the other sd card in the computer and leave without it. 😂
Get a lot of bug guts all over, splashes on those sensors. I once saw a giant bumble bee slowly fly right into my props... it was 😔
Another excellent presentation. To me the Mini 4 is a great tool but it still looks like a toy which is a pity, perhaps its the colour of the plastic being to bright?
Hot glue on controller is a TIP? Wooooowwwww
No. NOT to use it was the tip. 😂
Use shoe goo, it won’t go anywhere .
what ever happened to skydio? never see their vids
Blurry 360 is unacceptable after paying over 800 bucks
Great help ✌
I showed this to my grandma. She's now a UA-cam addict
