Had a bad mood today. Stumbled on your video and found you to be a real palate cleanser. Dont know why, but you seem like a nice humble guy. You made me smile. Thank you.
@@CB-cz7gj I was pleasantly surprised by his sense of humor and like an other comment said, his self-deprecating nature. This is one of those people who make you feel good without even trying. We need more of those...and you. Merry Christmas 🌲🎁
Your self-deprecation is hilarious but don't cut yourself short. I've been flying drones for over ten years, and I have learned a lot from this channel. Not just about drones either. You just keep doing what you're doing. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Just unpacked my Mini 4 Pro today and did all the initial set up stuff. Glad to report no issues. This was my first time flying a drone. I'm already hooked!
Remember my friend. It's easier to catch a drone on flat ground than it is on a rocking boat. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays to you and your loved ones. 👍👍👍
Hi Kevin, thanks for these videos, makes me more comfortable. Hey, CA you tell me what updates to go with/to with 'Rose', my Mini 2? Been a year and a halh a least since, seems to be fine. Should I just leave updates at where it is? I could look up the numbers later if need be. And for my Mavic Pro platinum? I love these babies. Thanks man
The rocket camera problem seems similar to my waypoints camera problem. Except for me, it goes to 0° as it approaches each waypoint instead of 60° like the rocket. DJI told me they’d fix it, so you have another update to look forward to! Where in WV were you flying? We used to live near Steubenville, OH. It was next to see your interstate (almost) flight.
I have a DJI Mini 3 (not pro version) with the RC controller which has a build in screen. I usually connect it to wifi at least once or twice every three months, before it automatically logs me out of my DJI account. I don't always like to update the firmware because sometimes a newer version could have bugs or they change something that I didn't want them to. I have never had it force me to update, but I am concerned that one day it might. Is it possible that connecting to wifi before it requires you to log in again prevents it from auto updating? I have a hard time believing that would be the case though.
Probably not the best channel to learn from; but it's certainly one of the more entertaining channels I watch, keep up the good work mate! I love some of the scenery you take us to see.
I am with you on this one. I just bought the Air3s and like you I really don't like the new display of the height and distance meters at the bottom of the DJI Fly App. Why they needed to change it I am at a loss for words. Hope the next Update they will revert back to the H & D less confusion.
No idea if this had anything to do with a [recent] firmware update, but after adding a DJI Air 3s to my collection (previously: Mini 3 + 4 Pro), I found that when I hit RTH (return to home), sometimes - yes, not every time - the ongoing video recording stops! At first, I thought I had made some mistake, sadly missing some footage, but when I started watching the record button in the RC2, I did notice that maybe 50% of the time, the record state is killed as soon as RTH starts! Any such experience on your part?
As my Mini 4 pro is fairly new, the current fly app and drone update is all I know. I've only had about 9 flights so far and have not had any issues, although I have not checked to see if it has that upward gimble tilt in Rocket. Will have to check when I have time.
I enjoy watching you. You have the type of personality that attracts folks. I'm not flying right now, not in Michigan, where it was zero degrees F this morning.
Get to know the Camera tab.. you have some great features there, Like D-Log M which records in 10 Million Colours for post processing. Also the Gridlines will help keep your Points of Interest centered on frame.
Not seen that before Kev with the latest update, I better check mine again (just checked, all okay, I've still got the old one) Good test Kev, Rocket still pants Merry Christmas to you and your family
There's no issues with the new versions. The active track works great and you'll get used to the height and distance functions. The tilt-up of the gimbal after the rocket is a known issue from two updates ago. I'm sure they will fix that soon. I always wait to let others report issues before I update, so I'm usually at least one update behind, but I do try to keep it current.
I just went through that update situation last night. It's been a few weeks since I've flown my M4P and I wasn't going to do the latest update until I knew the issues had been worked out but, like you, that wasn't possible because DJI logged me out of my account and forced me to do the latest update. Very frustrating. 😒🤦♂
I gotta say I appreciate you doing g all these tests. I’ve learned alot from you as a new drone flyer. I own the mini pro 4 as well as the mavic 3 pro. The mavic is a beast of a drone. I’m still learning this that and everything else.
Have enjoyed all your videos; with lotta content applicable to my Mini SE and my Specta Mini (Mini 4K clone). . . . and I growed up in Terra Alta, WV hanging out with my grandad!! Merry HollyDays 🙂
So many channels, I subscribed to yours because you are simply real and seem honest! I l just got my mini 4 pro as I lost my mini 2 in a lake landing on a boat! Also have an Air 2S and AUTEL Evo II 640T Thermal …. I do all types if inspections
Good video! I did update all my drones a while back. I think I check like once a month if there is an update for my drones and go ahead and do them. I do like the new menu you don't like lol. Keep those videos coming !
I love the cold. I kinda wish we could swap our weather. We're just coming into summer here in Australia, and it can get brutal. It is better this year compared to last year but we're currently getting temperatures between 30°-40° C (86°-104°f) we're also getting extremely high humidity which doesn't help as well.
You know that you can roll back the fly up to v.13.9? At least I can on my RC Pro. I updated the Fly App several times to various versions of 14 and 15 and had various issues. Each time I uninstalled the updates it went back to 13.9. That is where I am now and having no issues. The Distance and Height is shown in the old way too.
Ha ha ha...you name your drones...I thought I was weird for having Transformers stickers on each of my drones (own 4) - each can either be Autobots or Decepticons!
Kevin - We all appreciate your interesting informative videos, especially with your laid back style and a great sense of humor. I also like it that you dare to feature other brands of drones. Hopefully in 2025 we might actually see a 'Mini killer' drone hit the market. BTW is there any way to roll back DJI firmware updates to a previous version? *Merry Christmas & Happy New Year* to your and yours from a somewhat misplaced Charlotte redneck! 😁😁
Last week you wanted to get back into the truck to cool down, this week to warm up. I understand why you’re there though 🥲 How far from Florida are you ? We don’t have such severe weather changes from one end of the uk to the other, maybe a few degrees at best. Seeing you wearing jeans is weird 😂 Shame on DJI for forcing them updates on Dwight and yourself. He seemed to be doing great until his eyes got transfixed on the sky above. Over here we have 40+ mph winds, no fly for Gordon at all this week I don’t think. Merry Christmas to you and yours Kevin. Dan, uk 🇬🇧
Hey man…I like your content. I even watch the portable power supply videos. You are also very generous with your reviews of other drones although Ruko does have a decent drone out now.
I think when you tried to do the rocket the first time and it wouldn't do it, it was because that yellow oval was clipping the truck and it saw that as an obstruction. When you moved over a little, then your truck was just off the edge of the oval from that setting. Merry Christmas to you and Kristi ! Tell Kristi that we women rock (and figure these things out! LOL) Have a good one 🙂
Hey Kevin, I get the feeling that the engineers at DJI has their hand full starting with the Neo and the next versions of the Mini and Pro Drones… I don’t know where that leaves though… 😂 Great video as always!
The issue with the helix is when you start off like you did with the rocket at the same level as yourself. It's like Nobby Green says, it's the firmware, which is the issue and not the fly updates 😊
That sign in was weird, however, if you reset your controller it will force the latest update. Wonder if it forced a reset too? Not seen any other problems with quickshots either. Great test tho Kevin. Keep safe Brother
There you are again. haha! DJI better get on that. on the rocket quickshot, there is a work around so that the gimbal wont tilt up as it's going down. Mark the ground instead, not the subject. I discovered that after some tests. well, as long as it works. hahaha. But I know you're pissed on the new screen orientation. hahaha
Dji stopped the updates for dji mini 2. So now I'm having probs end signsl drop out snd now no fixes or updates force yiu yo buy a new one. Well I'm not buying a new one
I honestly love the new Active Track Button on the screen. I now use it a lot more because it's right there for you on screen rather than buried in the menus. It's also much easier to exit it! I made a little video ua-cam.com/video/iRIgymtgIX4/v-deo.htmlsi=L8RFYLVqX-kzYKVu
Thanks for the shout-out. It's funny how every time you do a dji update, another neewer update has been released 😊
Had a bad mood today. Stumbled on your video and found you to be a real palate cleanser. Dont know why, but you seem like a nice humble guy. You made me smile. Thank you.
He truly is one of the best guys! Comes from a wonderful guy!!

Yeah, heard that. Have you been able to figure out if the issue you had with your drone was solved with the firmware update?
lol, great job hand catching that drone! As usual great video. You’re too humble - I learn a LOT watching how you check things out.
Just unpacked my Mini 4 Pro today and did all the initial set up stuff. Glad to report no issues. This was my first time flying a drone. I'm already hooked!

I was on a project in WV and it is some of the most beautiful country I have seen so far in my life.

Just why I'm holding off on updating. No "warning" as yet (touch wood) :)
By the way, like the landing pad, what's it called? and where is it from?
No idea if this had anything to do with a [recent] firmware update, but after adding a DJI Air 3s to my collection (previously: Mini 3 + 4 Pro), I found that when I hit RTH (return to home), sometimes - yes, not every time - the ongoing video recording stops!

Great channel, I’m very new to drones and am learning lots from your content. Thank you
Love your video , and merry christmas from Scotland

Thanks for the video. I haven’t had my mini 4 pro out for a while, it’s hunting season here and the hunters see my drone as a wide eyed duck.
Another beaut video Kev, enjoy retirement mate, all the more time to fly hey. All the best from Sydney Australia. 🇦🇺
Thanks for another great video. Safe travels brother and Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁
Merry Christmas Kevin and family ! Wishing you all the best in the coming new year brother ! May peace follow you throughout the years. 🙏✌👍

The DJI fly app is up to 1.15.8 now on the RC2 as well as the android Phone for the mini 2 pro.

I'ma thank God I have never had that problem with my DJI mini 4 Pro. I am definitely impressed with everything it do
I have mini2 but still kicking. I hope someday i have a new drone

*Merry Christmas & Happy New Year* to your and yours from a somewhat misplaced Charlotte redneck! 😁😁
I like that I can roll back the fly app on my android phone and rc-n2 😊. Have a great chrimbo buddy.
How do you do that, my aftermarket plus battery 's became useless after an update.
I don't do updates anymore.
@HenkWijga @HenkWijga that was due to a firmware update buddy. Unfortunately they can not be reversed 😢
For now I wait with the last update, one battery from ebay is still working. Not the dronetweaks app.
Last week you wanted to get back into the truck to cool down, this week to warm up. I understand why you’re there though 🥲
How far from Florida are you ? We don’t have such severe weather changes from one end of the uk to the other, maybe a few degrees at best. Seeing you wearing jeans is weird 😂
Shame on DJI for forcing them updates on Dwight and yourself. He seemed to be doing great until his eyes got transfixed on the sky above.
Over here we have 40+ mph winds, no fly for Gordon at all this week I don’t think.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Kevin. Dan, uk 🇬🇧
Hey man…I like your content. I even watch the portable power supply videos. You are also very generous with your reviews of other drones although Ruko does have a decent drone out now.
It's 37 degrees here also but in Celsius.
The lack of open source firmware on tools which report back to the mothership is disturbing.
I think when you tried to do the rocket the first time and it wouldn't do it, it was because that yellow oval was clipping the truck and it saw that as an obstruction. When you moved over a little, then your truck was just off the edge of the oval from that setting. Merry Christmas to you and Kristi ! Tell Kristi that we women rock (and figure these things out! LOL) Have a good one 🙂
Hey, Kev. I love ya channel, bud. I get a lot of pleasure and valuable info. You keep them up, you hear! Thoughts are with you 😢
Im from Coolville if you know where that is. Good to see the river again. I miss it, but not the cold weather.
you are correct, optimal and preset have been flipped.
Hey Kevin, I get the feeling that the engineers at DJI has their hand full starting with the Neo and the next versions of the Mini and Pro Drones… I don’t know where that leaves though… 😂
Great video as always!
Hi bro!
I wish you a very good new year !
i hope it goes well and great with you.
Your sincerely follower,
Anas.
Love my Mavic Mini, no pesky updates for 2 years now!
The issue with the helix is when you start off like you did with the rocket at the same level as yourself. It's like Nobby Green says, it's the firmware, which is the issue and not the fly updates 😊
Great Test brother thanks for sharing❤
considering keeping your drone updated is a leal requirement.
Diggin the Dukes cap 👍🏻
DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series) - Upgrade or Downgrade - put what ever version you think you need, on your controller, drone or goggles.
Love your videos Kevin Keep doing what you're doing. You are amazing guy.🌟💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍
Here's a test for you, Rocket is included in Master shots. See if now after the update when it completes the rocket that the gimbal still does that
i can picture u in a duke of hazard car nice hat Godbless
My air 3 does the same thing as for the rocket afterwards fumble pointing to the sky
i wasn't a big fan of the new update either but you get used to it
That sign in was weird, however, if you reset your controller it will force the latest update. Wonder if it forced a reset too? Not seen any other problems with quickshots either. Great test tho Kevin. Keep safe Brother
There you are again. haha! DJI better get on that. on the rocket quickshot, there is a work around so that the gimbal wont tilt up as it's going down. Mark the ground instead, not the subject. I discovered that after some tests. well, as long as it works. hahaha. But I know you're pissed on the new screen orientation. hahaha
Enjoy West Virginia. Looks like pretty country.
Once yopu promised to try tracking a train with Active Track or Suject Scanning. There is a railroadtrack near you.
Merry Christmas Kevin. You would not do well where I live 33 degrees and snow on the ground. God Bless Kevin.
windows self forced updates on me every week. crazy world.
Dji stopped the updates for dji mini 2. So now I'm having probs end signsl drop out snd now no fixes or updates force yiu yo buy a new one. Well I'm not buying a new one
1.15.8 is the latest. Also put the drone at the center of the radar and it won’t jitter.
Well I guess we can't have everything, great video though 😄 👍 👏 🚁 📽 📸
Dude, just update it and live with it...life is too short...
Go Gators🤘
No update was forced, always the choise of the owner, if he want's to do it or not. If not, just dont do it. At least in Europe.
And the FAA is going to force you into a 107 certificate.
The term to select yourself is "subject". You are using yourself as the subject for that shot.
03:06 re auto update.
Can Gavin help with the previous version download?. He has quite a selection previous versions.

See; you Are a jeanie ous! 😇🤠🙃
Good video , would be better if you just get out of the van and stay out of the room .
DJI is an awfully shady company. Love their drones. Hate their CS. Sad.
I honestly love the new Active Track Button on the screen. I now use it a lot more because it's right there for you on screen rather than buried in the menus. It's also much easier to exit it! I made a little video ua-cam.com/video/iRIgymtgIX4/v-deo.htmlsi=L8RFYLVqX-kzYKVu
bs
My drone is so old, the app is still in hieroglyphs.
