Just replaced my crashed Mini with the Mini 2, my new go to drone for the summer. A bit fly shy right now but took it out to the middle of nowhere in Kansas to regain confidence. Flying to Puerto Rico and filming with all over the island starting this Saturday. Wish me luck!
@@derrickkessler3611 They will not warranty replace it with an upgrade. They’d have to send you the new controller too. Considering they just released the Mini SE, they seem to have surplus stock of the 1st.
this is great man show us your clips after you fly and capture the great moments and also tell me how the quality of this drone is in total...have fun and good luck fly this cute drone :)
After seven months with my Mini 2, this is what I experienced. You need to be aware of is the image on your cellphone freezing while your drone is in flight which I think happened because of lost connectivity. Don’t continue flying without seeing the image moving. Stop flying until you get a connection and see that your drone is moving. I had the image freeze on my phone and I thought the drone had stopped moving so I continued moving the toggle forward thinking it would reconnect when SLAM, the drone hit a cement portion of my apartment balcony. The drone bounced backwards with such force that the battery slid out the back and both drone and battery crashed to a grassy area 20 stories below. Luckily I saw where it landed and went down to retrieve it. Lo and behold, it was in tact, a bit dirty, but all the pieces where in place. Never found the battery. I cleaned it up and inserted a fresh battery and to my surprise it still worked. 😃. Lesson learned.
i crashed mine yesterday into my steel side yard door it fell about two feet but only one propeller got a little chipped and yes lessln learned :) i also bought it yesterday lol.
The mini 2 is my choice of drone all year round, even over my m2p, p4p and i2. it fits perfectly In my camera bag without taking up much room, shoots 4k and raw images. perfect for anything social media related!
Competitors would have to accept that for every new sub-250g drone that they would come up with, it will always be compared to the Mini 2! That drone is the standard!
Bought the mini, then 9 months later upgraded to the mini2 that had just come out. Great entry into drones and addition to my photography abilities. I would definitely recommend.
By all means, I'm not a professional when it comes to videos or photography, I have fun with my DSLR and I like to take pics when I'm travelling. Having said that, would you say the mini 2 could be worth buying for someone that simply wants to take nicer videos while on holiday?
My Drone of choice is the DJI Mini 2. I love it because of how compact it is, OcuSync 2.0, 4K 30FPS, and the price! Thanks for your dedication to your channel, me and my family love your content!
Just purchased the Mini 2. My Son-in-Law came over yesterday and let me take it out for a spin. All I could say was....SOLD. Looking forward to flying it as a hobbyist or maybe something more down the road. Best "Bang for your Buck" IMHO.
Mini 2 is the best drone in the market overall (in terms of everything, including price, size and portability, weight "which is the most important thing", and video quality). And I'm totally ready to get in a fight with anyone over this lol
I wish they at least keep the active track for this drone...I know this drone doesn't have a sensor for avoidance but they could at list keep it :( everything else about this drone is great
@@Marcus2750-u1tSounds reasonable to me. You got yourself a deal, lol. I still stand by what I said though. It’s a lot more money for the Air 2S, so I think the Mini 2 is a much better deal for what you get for the money.
Novice here. My First drone after much research. Immediately fell in LOVE with this Drone. I haven't gotten to any exotic locations yet. I Fly most every day. I Like this channel and his friend at 51Drones . SO much to learn and loving every minute of it! The Mini 2 will lead me on and outpace me all the way !
Near perfect for what it is... as long as one does not overload their azz.!!! the only problem I've had with mine is the high winds... definite possibility of losing your little bird.!!! been lucky so far. I believe I know it's limits now... Keep a close eye on wind direction.
Just upgraded from the Spark to the Mini 2 last week and I think I've already found my Summer looove! 😍🚀🥰 Going upstate to the Catskills & Adirondacks to test it out!! Thanks for the quality vids as always brother!
After watching millions of videos on here I decided to take the plunge and purchased the mini 2, so glad that I did as I’m so happy so far. Many thanks for all your info and keep up the good work 😃👍
Just grabbed one from Amazon warehouse deals to try it out. The box had been opened but it was essentially brand new. It's my first experience with a drone and I am SO impressed. The limit in Canada is 120m altitude and that is waaaay higher than I realized. Can barely see the drone up there! One thing that I'm not thrilled about is the weight of the controller. I expected it would weigh as much as the drone but not this much more, and it kind of brings the package out of 'hiking with it' territory.
Very happy with my mini 2. As a photography enthusiast, the still photos are excellent, especially after post editing the raw photos in photoshop. Even shadow recovery is excellent from raw stills. It's quiet, portable, usb battery charging, not intrusive and therefore a huge plus flying in populated areas. Lack of sensors do not bother me at all. Tested out Air 2 and returned it same day. Much happier with mini 2 for my needs. Will probably stay with mini line up forever. Mini 2 is what mavic mini should have been. Cannot wait to see what mini 3 will bring.
Just took mini 2 to vacation in Europe. Last couple of weeks took awesome areal videos in areas bigger drone cannot be flown. Extremely amazed and pleased with DJI. No signal lost over the Mediterranean sea and works flawlessly. Will keep this for my holiday videos.
I started with the mini 2 3 weeks later yah you guessed it the announce the Air 2S I just bought it today June 8 will fly tomorrow Try it in back yard and around the neighborhood for 15 minutes but I have to go out to a park to test all the toys Did I mention I just started droning in March learning to fly in my living room and kitchen Love your channel I learn to fly watching you review the drones Thanks
Just got the mini 2 after using the mini 1 for the last year and very happy with it. I find the Ocusync is much more stable for flights in urban areas compared to the mini 1 wifi controller so that's my drone of choice for summer. Mini1 is still a very good drone and perfect for anybody who wants something more serious than a tello but without handing out a complete fortune. Keep the videos coming, love them.
December 2021 purchase, and I have no regrets. The only thing that I can think of that I would love to have is a follow mode. Obstacle avoidance would be a nicety too. Get the fly more pack if you grab one.
I’m a landscape photographer for over 25 years.The last couple of days i watched a lot of your video’s and i got so excited that i decided i’m gonna buy the dji 2 mini fly more combo plus freewell nd filters.I hope it’s a good upgrade for me and a way to photograph different,but i also will start video recordings.Maybe i will upgrade to the dji pro 2 in the future but for now i hope the dji2 mini will do the job and level up my photography.I’m really excited to start,thank you for that ! 😎😁👍🏻
Just picked up the DJI Mini 2 last week for establishing shots for future short films!! Learned the drone like it was nothing thanks to you cheers mate!!💜
@@bjlopez Hey Beej, early morning on Ka’anapali beach (so you minimize flying over people), along the road to Hana (like waialohe point), and over makena beach
I love my Mini 2 from the day I bought it in March. A perfect entry level Drone and super easy to fly for any novice, including me. Thanks for all the useful tips and suggestions on this drone!
Just bought the mini 2 fly more combo. Have it for a week now and just loving it. Still learning how to fly and make great footage with it. But as I'm living in the Netherlands and we now have European rules it makes it more easy to fly where I want (as they were more stringent before here in NL). Loving your channel btw! Cheers.
Drone of choice for this summer is the Mini 2 especially now they have updated the firmware to use the smart controller.. I bought the Air 2 with the smart controller pkg. Sooooo happy they upgraded the firmware.!!! LOVE the Mini line.!!!!
I love mine, for what I do with Drones which is nothing more than a little B Roll for my family outings it's perfect. The footage that comes out of it is just spectacular.
I'm new to the Drone world, and I'm enjoying your videos very much. Should get my Drone Mavic Mini 2 tomorrow. Thanks for all the good info. You helped me make up my mind to purchase one. Again Thanks!
I just bought the mini 2 yesterday. I have not flown it yet. I'm still trying to figure out what I need to do to legally fly it. Even though I haven't flown in years I have my private pilot license and an A&P, IA so do not want the FAA on my case. Thank you for the review, it verified my thoughts. For me it will be nothing more than a hobby but I will most likely get my 107 license sooner than later. Be safe.
Just sold my mavic pro 2 and bought this instead. Very happy with my decision! Due to upcoming laws with the faa I wanted to sell now before the values go down even more. The quality of this and the size makes me able to use it so much more
Only just found your channel (Oct15/21) and I am sold on this mini2- I just wish I had 500 quid in loose change- but hey- I can dream, but otherwise a brilliant resumé Hopefully one day I will save enough. I have been saving for 5 years for a shed (a proper vacuum treated wood shed) 2 years ago the price jumped from £975 to now £1150 for an 8x4 pressure treated- and this week, I got there. my next goal is a dj mini to film my grandchildren. I just hope the buggers don't up the price before I manage to squirrel away a few quid each week from the wife's budget- although that may be a big ask this year. I will get there evetually- I'm only 63 (but had to retire from driving a truck because of a damned heart attack) bit of a bummer, but hey ho I'm still kicking! I am sold on your reviews- honest and succinct- thank you sir- I like honest reviews like this.
So excited! My DJI Mini 2 will arrive next monday! just checking up on some videos of do's and dont's and features, i dont fly anything for years since i flew RC Helis.
Mini 2 is definitely my drone of choice for the summer! You can't go wrong with that guy! I'm still rocking the Mini 1, which does like 80% of what the mini 2 can do, so I'm sticking with what I got for now haha
Upgraded from Mavic Mini to the Mini 2 for all of the upgraded features, main one being OcuSync 2.0. Can't wait to travel with it this summer. Love your channel!
I have Mini 1 and decided to get the mini 2 about a month ago and you are right it’s much quieter than my mini 1 also handles wind much better along with distance signal, Love mini 2.
I’m new in the drone field. I pick up the dji mini 2. I be watched many videos on this unit. Yours by far are the best very thorough and detailed. Thank you . Only one small constructive criticism. I find my self pausing and going back because your going so fast. Thank you again you have been very helpful in getting me in the air and flying safe. Respectfully Russell
This drone is just perfect as is, if you consider price to performance, no drone come close. The only thing I would probably like on the next version is the object avoidance sensor on the front, back and sideways as it only have bottom sensors. the onboard memory recommendation would be a big plus too, thanks for the amazing video. I am also aware that they must keep it under 250g, so I really have no complaints.
Great video. Thanks for posting this. I am a rookie drone enthusiast and first time drone owner. I have the DJI Mini 2 and have enjoyed it immensely. I will add one thing you didn't mention in the video in the "not so great column." Flying the drone indoors isn't the great experience that outdoors provides. There is a significant amount of drift even in a flat hover. I have everything dialed in per the specs. Outside it is rock steady. Not so much inside. Other than that it's been a wonderful experience.
I’m waiting. Waiting for DJI to bring out a mini sub 250g drone with follow me and 3D optical avoidance. So basically a scaled down, foldable skydio 2. I’ll buy that in a heartbeat.
Hello, I have a Mavic Air and looking to upgrade to an Air 2 S, but that Mini 2 looking better every day, after all my first drone was a spark and it was awesome!!
Your common sense, Aldryn, is truly helpful. I have purchased a mini 2 because or your recommendations. In 2017 I flew a Mavic Pro. Then, in Canada, we had some concerning regulations coming up. So, I gave up the hobby. Now, with the mini 2, my heart has been put at ease. I fly responsibly, but I always used to be concerned. I will be flying this little guy all summer and taking it to Ecuador to get some amazing footage! Thank you so much. Your case designs are perfect! 😄
I bought the dji mini 2 as my first drone and am amazed on how easy it is to control. I look forward to taking it with me on trips to videos I can’t do with only a camera.
For casual flyers the Mini2 is perfect... The Air2s makes sense for photo/videopraphers or more adnvanced flyers but the Mini packs a great allround package
Just got the Mini 2 myself. My biggest struggle is that there really are so many airports in the San Diego area (and MCAS Miramar isn't on LAANC), is finding a good safe spot to practice! Thanks for having an awesome amount of content and information!
I enjoy your videos. I don't have a drone yet, but asked for the Mini 2 fly more combo for Father's Day. A box arrived this week that appears to be my new baby. A nice case for it would sure be nice.
l take you on your word: Got the Mini 2 and the Air 2s. Had the Mini 2 for 10 months and I am impressed with with optical lens, but keep in mind it is a wide angle lens. It's the drone that I take with me on biketrips and travels outside EU. Due to it's light weight, it easily drifts, but the advanced gimble compensates for this. As to service: Got the error code 40011 (gimble) and did all sort of things to fix it without success. Returned to retailer which returned to DJI. Exactly one month later I got a brand new drone back under warranty. I have own insurance for my drones, never used it, but it makes DJI's alternative uneccessary. It's often talked about the Mini 2 that you don't need to register it. Wrong, at least in Norway all drones with recording devices that enables human identification must be registered, but you can fly it without a licence. Since Norwegian regulations often follows EU-regullations, I suspect these rules applies inside all of EU. Anyway, a permit QR-code on your drone provides ease of mind, should anything happen to drone, people or property, you can be contacted and sort things out.
3 months into flying and this drone. Love your videos. The Mini 2 is my go-to summer drone. Shared your video to a friend who is interested in the Mini 2. I love your custom cases. I just bought a Lowe BP450 AW II to transfer my gear between my home, farm and other locations. I have it set up so that my camera, drone, GoPro, and accessories are in their individual cases while in the bag. Yours are on my wish list! Thanks for another confirmation why the the DJI Mini 2 is still a great purchase!
Thank you for this video review. I am looking into buying a drone, and the DJI Mini 2 was recommended. The cost of a drone is significant, and your video helps increase confidence in the choice to buy a DJI Mini 2 with the Fly More package. Again, thank you for sharing your expertise and for your time.
I use my mini 2 several times a day checking my livestock, health, feed, during calving and also while they are in the pastures. Was thinking about getting a air 2S because of the sensors. Thanks
I shut the sensors off on my Air 2s and on my Evo II pro. I tried having them on, I didn't have any real issues when set to "brake" on the 2s but when set to avoid or go around the quad stopped descending to avoid a fence that was 30' horizontal and 60' vertical away. The evo did a stop and go motion until it was about 50' or so horizontally away from me. I don't like anything taking control of what I'm flying or driving, not on my vehicles on the ground or in the air. If I do hit something It's likely to be intentional anyway.
I got the GoPro hippack to carry my Mini2. I can carry the control, drone two batteries and the one in the drone and my ND filters. I'll take it with me on bike rides and it does great and doesn't flop around the whole time. Would love to try something different for when I go hiking.
We have 2x DJI Mini Drones. My drone of Choice will most definitely be the Mini 2 as I love the compactability and mobility to carry around and pop out the Aerial camera “on the fly”… carry cases becoming more and more important
I have the Mini 2 after I crashed my Mini 1 into a tree that "jumped out" in front of me. I think it's an amazing little drone that is highly flexible. Thank you for your wonderful channel!
Did you have the DJI care, my wife got me a mini 2 fly more combo for this past Christmas 🎅🏻 and I smacked a tree 🌲 low sport flying showing off at a barbecue 🍗 man had to do the walk of shame lol 😂 I didn’t get it the refresh because I fly rigs, fpv and thought I was above crashing a gps drone, well I love the mini2 so much I got a replacement unit on Amazon for 380 bucks it came new with sickers and taped off battery compartment, I put DJI care on it and it was all good never activated, I can’t wait to leave at 4am for OC md the air show is Saturday will be there.. hell ya brothers and sisters of droning. It’s My first gig wish me luck 🍀
@@snapeshotz I did have the DJI Care plan, but it had expired 2 days earlier and I didn't receive a reminder to renew. Anyway, I now have the Mini 2 and 2 years of DJI Care :)
I love my Mini 2. The thing is PERFECT. You can actually fly it yourself. The Bottom sensors are GREAT. At last I can fly a drone without having to swing my joystick up and down like a madman. I can't fly like that. Other than that, I love my drone and it's my first, real drone to fly like a sky cam; it's that much fun. There goes the actual tripod for cameras. Drones will replace them. WOW! Now I will one day customize it with glow in the dark Cyan powder mixed with nail polish to give a masking taped outline of a TRON like ship type of deal appeal. I'm thinking about it, but a steady, sturdy hand is what I need most. So it's the thought on the backburner for now. But I hope to make it become a reality.
This drone is awesome! The mini 3 pro is out, but it is expensive at $900 with the "fly more" extras. I got my mini 2 for $600 with the extras. Now I just need a set of cam filters.
I downgraded to the Mini 2 from Air 2. Portability was a big factor for me. I wish it had tracking, but it's all good. That case will be a must for traveling! 🤞🏾
The tutorial was awesome. I have a mini 2 that I purchased two months ago and it is fantastic! My neighbor saw the one that I have went and purchased one immediately. Please put out more videos.
Have the mini and carry it with me in North county all the time. Pop up and go. Wish it had avoidance, but maybe it will happen in the next iteration. Great channel, good info. Thanks and keep on with what you do!
Still fling the DJI Spark. Great little drone but I'm looking to upgrade. The Mavic 2 Pro or Mavic 2 S are under consideration. I'd like the Mini 2 as a daily carry.
I fly the original mini at least 3 times a week only fly my air 2 when the wind is strong enough for the mini not to be able to handle it. So I guess it would definitely be for the mavic mini. Thanks for the opportunity 🙏
Thanks Alden for the vids...have been following since the Mini 1 came out. Upgraded to the Mini 2 and haven't looked back. Keep the tips and tricks coming.
Congrats to Stu Pendous !! You were randomly selected to win the case.

Just sold my mavic pro 2 and bought this instead. Very happy with my decision! Due to upcoming laws with the faa I wanted to sell now before the values go down even more. The quality of this and the size makes me able to use it so much more
I can’t wait to purchase and fly this drone.
It’s worth it
Getting mine tomoz
Same getting mine start of july
Only just found your channel (Oct15/21) and I am sold on this mini2- I just wish I had 500 quid in loose change- but hey- I can dream, but otherwise a brilliant resumé Hopefully one day I will save enough. I have been saving for 5 years for a shed (a proper vacuum treated wood shed) 2 years ago the price jumped from £975 to now £1150 for an 8x4 pressure treated- and this week, I got there. my next goal is a dj mini to film my grandchildren. I just hope the buggers don't up the price before I manage to squirrel away a few quid each week from the wife's budget- although that may be a big ask this year. I will get there evetually- I'm only 63 (but had to retire from driving a truck because of a damned heart attack) bit of a bummer, but hey ho I'm still kicking! I am sold on your reviews- honest and succinct- thank you sir- I like honest reviews like this.
My first drone is the mini 2 and wow have to say its awesome and opened up a whole other world of property photography
So excited! My DJI Mini 2 will arrive next monday! just checking up on some videos of do's and dont's and features, i dont fly anything for years since i flew RC Helis.
Mini 2 is definitely my drone of choice for the summer! You can't go wrong with that guy! I'm still rocking the Mini 1, which does like 80% of what the mini 2 can do, so I'm sticking with what I got for now haha
Upgraded from Mavic Mini to the Mini 2 for all of the upgraded features, main one being OcuSync 2.0. Can't wait to travel with it this summer. Love your channel!
I love my mini 2 however it's my first drone so ofcourse I love it. Just had my first two successful flights and cant wait to get more stick time.
Solid signal, great wind resistance, light, portable, good camera and my first choice for tight spaces.
I have Mini 1 and decided to get the mini 2 about a month ago and you are right it’s much quieter than my mini 1 also handles wind much better along with distance signal, Love mini 2.
I’m new in the drone field. I pick up the dji mini 2. I be watched many videos on this unit. Yours by far are the best very thorough and detailed. Thank you . Only one small constructive criticism. I find my self pausing and going back because your going so fast. Thank you again you have been very helpful in getting me in the air and flying safe. Respectfully Russell
Recently bought a mini 2 based on your videos. Had been a great help selecting the drone for a beginner. Have been enjoying droning with it.
Hallo, I just sold my Spark and got the Mini 2. It will be always with me, it is an incredible drone.
I got this from Costco. What a great machine. I have taken some amazingly pictures with this.
I'm still loving my Mini 2 and can't wait to take it to capture some of the beauty of some Scottish Islands later in the year.
This drone is just perfect as is, if you consider price to performance, no drone come close. The only thing I would probably like on the next version is the object avoidance sensor on the front, back and sideways as it only have bottom sensors. the onboard memory recommendation would be a big plus too, thanks for the amazing video. I am also aware that they must keep it under 250g, so I really have no complaints.
I have the M2P but just picked up the mini 2. The mini 2 will probably be with me the entire time
Must confess I'm really enjoying it, from 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 Ghana,got it few weeks ago and it has been amazing
Purchased the Mini 2 yesterday. Looking forward to getting into using this drone for photography.
Thanks for this video! Based on your info I just purchased the Mini 2. Looking forward to using this summer.
I am excited about buying the mini 2 as my next drone, thanks for the knowledge and tips.
Great video. Thanks for posting this. I am a rookie drone enthusiast and first time drone owner. I have the DJI Mini 2 and have enjoyed it immensely. I will add one thing you didn't mention in the video in the "not so great column." Flying the drone indoors isn't the great experience that outdoors provides. There is a significant amount of drift even in a flat hover. I have everything dialed in per the specs. Outside it is rock steady. Not so much inside. Other than that it's been a wonderful experience.
My go to summer drone will be the mini 2 just got it second hand and it’s amazing
You make a great case for getting the DJI Mini 2! I hope that I'll be flying one soon!
I picked up the mini 2 after watching your videos thank you for the great content.
I just bought the mini 2. Definitely one of the best if not best options when taking into consideration all the variables.
My summer drone will be the Mavic Mini 2 as it is the perfect easy-to-carry drone for travelling!
I’m waiting. Waiting for DJI to bring out a mini sub 250g drone with follow me and 3D optical avoidance. So basically a scaled down, foldable skydio 2. I’ll buy that in a heartbeat.
Hello, I have a Mavic Air and looking to upgrade to an Air 2 S, but that Mini 2 looking better every day, after all my first drone was a spark and it was awesome!!
Your common sense, Aldryn, is truly helpful. I have purchased a mini 2 because or your recommendations. In 2017 I flew a Mavic Pro. Then, in Canada, we had some concerning regulations coming up. So, I gave up the hobby. Now, with the mini 2, my heart has been put at ease. I fly responsibly, but I always used to be concerned. I will be flying this little guy all summer and taking it to Ecuador to get some amazing footage! Thank you so much. Your case designs are perfect! 😄
I bought the dji mini 2 as my first drone and am amazed on how easy it is to control. I look forward to taking it with me on trips to videos I can’t do with only a camera.
I have the Mini 2 and will be using it as we travel this summer. Thanks for your videos!!
For casual flyers the Mini2 is perfect... The Air2s makes sense for photo/videopraphers or more adnvanced flyers but the Mini packs a great allround package
I’m a new DJI Mini 2 owner and so far I love it. Your videos have helped me get more confident and professional. Can’t wait to win your cases,😉
Just got the Mini 2 myself. My biggest struggle is that there really are so many airports in the San Diego area (and MCAS Miramar isn't on LAANC), is finding a good safe spot to practice! Thanks for having an awesome amount of content and information!
I enjoy your videos. I don't have a drone yet, but asked for the Mini 2 fly more combo for Father's Day. A box arrived this week that appears to be my new baby. A nice case for it would sure be nice.
I currently still have the original Mavic Mini which makes it my go-to drone for everything.
l take you on your word: Got the Mini 2 and the Air 2s. Had the Mini 2 for 10 months and I am impressed with with optical lens, but keep in mind it is a wide angle lens. It's the drone that I take with me on biketrips and travels outside EU. Due to it's light weight, it easily drifts, but the advanced gimble compensates for this.
As to service: Got the error code 40011 (gimble) and did all sort of things to fix it without success. Returned to retailer which returned to DJI. Exactly one month later I got a brand new drone back under warranty.
I have own insurance for my drones, never used it, but it makes DJI's alternative uneccessary. It's often talked about the Mini 2 that you don't need to register it. Wrong, at least in Norway all drones with recording devices that enables human identification must be registered, but you can fly it without a licence. Since Norwegian regulations often follows EU-regullations, I suspect these rules applies inside all of EU. Anyway, a permit QR-code on your drone provides ease of mind, should anything happen to drone, people or property, you can be contacted and sort things out.
3 months into flying and this drone. Love your videos. The Mini 2 is my go-to summer drone. Shared your video to a friend who is interested in the Mini 2. I love your custom cases. I just bought a Lowe BP450 AW II to transfer my gear between my home, farm and other locations. I have it set up so that my camera, drone, GoPro, and accessories are in their individual cases while in the bag. Yours are on my wish list! Thanks for another confirmation why the the DJI Mini 2 is still a great purchase!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for this video review. I am looking into buying a drone, and the DJI Mini 2 was recommended. The cost of a drone is significant, and your video helps increase confidence in the choice to buy a DJI Mini 2 with the Fly More package. Again, thank you for sharing your expertise and for your time.
I use my mini 2 several times a day checking my livestock, health, feed, during calving and also while they are in the pastures.
Was thinking about getting a air 2S because of the sensors.
Thanks
That’s cool. Nice to hear of practical use for drones
I shut the sensors off on my Air 2s and on my Evo II pro. I tried having them on, I didn't have any real issues when set to "brake" on the 2s but when set to avoid or go around the quad stopped descending to avoid a fence that was 30' horizontal and 60' vertical away. The evo did a stop and go motion until it was about 50' or so horizontally away from me.
I don't like anything taking control of what I'm flying or driving, not on my vehicles on the ground or in the air.
If I do hit something It's likely to be intentional anyway.
@@mickeymch876 that is interesting.
It is a great tool for me on my farm!
Great video. Def the Mini 2 is drone of choice. Always carry it and never disappoints!
I got the GoPro hippack to carry my Mini2. I can carry the control, drone two batteries and the one in the drone and my ND filters. I'll take it with me on bike rides and it does great and doesn't flop around the whole time. Would love to try something different for when I go hiking.
Just bought a mini 2.. First drone and I can't wait to get out and go flying! Lots of helpful info on your channel!
We have 2x DJI Mini Drones. My drone of Choice will most definitely be the Mini 2 as I love the compactability and mobility to carry around and pop out the Aerial camera “on the fly”… carry cases becoming more and more important
I hope it does good in 5 - 15mph winds, because its regularly like that where I live. Occasionally 20mph too.
Aldryn, you’re the best! Useful, accurate content. And always extremely well-presented. Many thanks!
🙏🙏
The mini 2 is my go-to! So impressed with the photo and video quality I get from this guy!
I have the Mini 2 after I crashed my Mini 1 into a tree that "jumped out" in front of me. I think it's an amazing little drone that is highly flexible. Thank you for your wonderful channel!
Damn trees 😡
Did you have the DJI care, my wife got me a mini 2 fly more combo for this past Christmas 🎅🏻 and I smacked a tree 🌲 low sport flying showing off at a barbecue 🍗 man had to do the walk of shame lol 😂 I didn’t get it the refresh because I fly rigs, fpv and thought I was above crashing a gps drone, well I love the mini2 so much I got a replacement unit on Amazon for 380 bucks it came new with sickers and taped off battery compartment, I put DJI care on it and it was all good never activated, I can’t wait to leave at 4am for OC md the air show is Saturday will be there.. hell ya brothers and sisters of droning. It’s My first gig wish me luck 🍀
@@snapeshotz I did have the DJI Care plan, but it had expired 2 days earlier and I didn't receive a reminder to renew. Anyway, I now have the Mini 2 and 2 years of DJI Care :)
Would you happen to have a case to hold the remote, as well as a couple extra batteries?
That for me would be the ultimate traveling case.
I love my Mini 2. The thing is PERFECT. You can actually fly it yourself. The Bottom sensors are GREAT. At last I can fly a drone without having to swing my joystick up and down like a madman. I can't fly like that. Other than that, I love my drone and it's my first, real drone to fly like a sky cam; it's that much fun. There goes the actual tripod for cameras. Drones will replace them. WOW! Now I will one day customize it with glow in the dark Cyan powder mixed with nail polish to give a masking taped outline of a TRON like ship type of deal appeal. I'm thinking about it, but a steady, sturdy hand is what I need most. So it's the thought on the backburner for now. But I hope to make it become a reality.
Thank you so much for your very informative videos. You’ve convinced me to go out and get the DJI MINI 2 as my first ever drone. 🙏
Actually just purchased this fly more for travel in US and SE Asia later this year. I have enjoyed a lot of your tips. Thanks!
This drone is awesome! The mini 3 pro is out, but it is expensive at $900 with the "fly more" extras. I got my mini 2 for $600 with the extras. Now I just need a set of cam filters.
I downgraded to the Mini 2 from Air 2. Portability was a big factor for me. I wish it had tracking, but it's all good. That case will be a must for traveling! 🤞🏾
Bad question. Can tracking/ follow me be downloaded via firmware? I really would like that for when I go bike riding
Mini 2 is my summer drone choice for now. Thank you for all of the informational videos.
The tutorial was awesome. I have a mini 2 that I purchased two months ago and it is fantastic! My neighbor saw the one that I have went and purchased one immediately. Please put out more videos.
Have the mini and carry it with me in North county all the time. Pop up and go. Wish it had avoidance, but maybe it will happen in the next iteration. Great channel, good info. Thanks and keep on with what you do!
Got mine a few days ago. It’s worth it. Get the flymore combo. I didn’t and I wasted 100$ getting all the stuff separately
My summer drone of choice is the DJI Mini 2. Doesn't turn heads in busy places. Thanks Flytpath!!! 🔥
Still fling the DJI Spark. Great little drone but I'm looking to upgrade. The Mavic 2 Pro or Mavic 2 S are under consideration. I'd like the Mini 2 as a daily carry.
I fly the original mini at least 3 times a week only fly my air 2 when the wind is strong enough for the mini not to be able to handle it. So I guess it would definitely be for the mavic mini. Thanks for the opportunity 🙏
Thanks Alden for the vids...have been following since the Mini 1 came out. Upgraded to the Mini 2 and haven't looked back. Keep the tips and tricks coming.
