This is more exciting than half the movies on Netflix
You’re actually right. Half the movies on Netflix are so boring
So true
Totally agree
Yeah, it is like nerve wrecking yet fun, nice test, I tried this for 10 kilometers with a moded battery but was 3 kilometers short on the way home
Hater idiot prank.
I am looking forward to the day with a range test when you send the drone forward and then it returns from behind!
That made me chuckle!
All you have to do for that is turn around. It will.
@@abousidi75, Hahahahaaaaaa, love it , hahahaaaaa.
@@abousidi75 he meant like it’s around the earth
@@shawns_Lego its a joke
Just a few years ago, doing this was like a dream..
yup .
Awesome, just got one of these for Christmas, looking forward to learning how to fly.
as did I .. super excited!
Same 😁😁
Same, my dad bought me one but he told me to be careful with it
is this the drone for xmas comment section, haha me too
I got one too ITS AWESOME bro
The long awaited range test is finally here!
The range test is my favorite test👍
Yeah the range test is the best
Weinee washers?
After following this channel for quit a long time.. I made the jump and bought the mini 2 ..the greatest technical toy every 55 year old should own … thanks man ! 😀
Good choice. One of my favorites 🍻
I got the SE as a gift and it's my first real drone I'm blown away. I know it's not same tier as mini 2 but I only owned the cheap drones before this so it's amazing to me.
@@malazan6004 the SE is awesome only difference is that that it runs on enhanced Wi-Fi instead of occu-sync and with a yagi booster it still freaking gets out there … the camera in all DJI Drone’s are the best also… have fun I definitely am
Yet another great video Dustin, I love the way you explain everything your videos are a pleasure to watch keep them coming
First time drone buyer, watched all your videos on the DJI Mini 2. Just ordered myself one. Great videos thanks for all the input!
I was waiting on this vid. The detail in the range test review is outstanding! The mini 2 is a beast. Well done dustin!!
Sold! I was on the edge of buying one... now after seeing this.. and seeing it's range and connection... wow! flat out impressive this lil drone. Well done. Really cool Vid!
I bought a Mini 2 after being influenced by your videos. Definitely helped me decide which one would fit my needs. Loving it so far. Keep up the good work!
Yesterday I took my mini 2 3500 meters away on a full battery when I let it auto return to home point. I started to get high wind warnings on return which might have drained more power from battery and it tried to do a forced landing at 4% half way between 2 river banks. I quickly over rid the landing and flew into a park a couple of meters in from the bank while reducing altitude and lost connect about 10 meters off the grass which is to be expected. It was right were I lost contact with it 950 meters from home siting on the grass. So just a cautionary story for people who want to test the limits, I'm lucky that it's not taking pictures of fish right now.
Did you get it back? It's only 950ft away you said so it's not that hard to run or get there
@@Arcaneova
950m lol
I took mine 3.4 km
And had 17% left when it returned, there was zero wind
@@niteblaster1 Nice, I think 4.7 km is my record now. I've had to get it a few times now. I fly over Australian bush and grass lands full of taipans and other venomous snakes. I need PPE for snakes i think.
Dustin, we love watching your range test, and appreciate your thorough , honest reviews.
Great video, Great audio, no background music, just what I need even with hearing aids I can't hear and understand most videos, thanks so much!
Good to know! Will be exploring the Quickshot mode on my next flight, always good to get new ideas from your content
I am looking at getting the DJI MINI 2 and have watched your unboxing video, the first flight video as well as this video. You have done a FANTASTIC job covering this little guy. I have your videos saved because I’m going to buy one of these soon and your videos are so informative. Thank you!!!
Cracking video mate, just bought one and cant believe what it can do
u got me hyped up , just ordered it ur videos came in real handy thanks
Great video Ken! I always love your video for the bits and pieces of advice only experienced drone flyers can share! Thanks!
Thanks for your awesome videos! As a fairly new drone pilot and super fresh learning the Mini 2 you’ve answered soo many of my questions with your videos on this drone!
Hugely impressive performance from such a lightweight drone!
Amazing distance achieved!
Best wishes from here in the UK!
I just started watching youre videos. I didnt know drones could go so far. I am going to best buy tomorrow and picking one of these up. I am getting the Fly More kit, itll be ready at 10pm tomorrow, cant wait!
Hey mate great video. I just subscribed to your channel and been watching your video every night... I can’t believed I was glued for over 3 hrs. Thanks for helping me with my decision to get DJI mini 2!!! keep your videos rolling!!!
I greatly appreciate that you leave your videos raw and not do all that fancy trickery in editing. I loved even on the range test that you did, it was in real time and we get a real sense of the experience and the distance. A lot of people take down the screen record video and put up the SD card recording and they're hiding a lot of the choppiness or signal loss and distance and things like that and it's very aggravating. I also appreciate that you talk when it's necessary. And when you do it's to do a good job of explaining and discussing. This was just a very very easy video to watch and enjoy, and most of all to learn from. Don't change. Thanks again
I got a mini SE for my birthday the fly more kit which was very impressive to me. It blows my mind it's at the bottom of the totem pole and I am so impressed by it. I think my dad got me into an expensive hobby as one day I'm going to want to get a proper Mavic one day (plus more). For now the mini SE is good for a beginner. Thanks for your channel love it
Brand new to the drone hobby and just found your channel. Your demeanor and delivery is excellent and informative as well. Thank you for the videos!
This video is really a good way to learn, from setting up the phone till flying
Im also brand new to the drone life. They gave it to for christmas. I havent fl flown it nowhere near that high. I need to go to an open field try it out. Thank you for the FN and the sliidded now i know what is for. I need to watch muore of your vids so i can learn
Honestly, this just sold me on the Mini2. Thanks, Great video!!
Thanks Dustin, another great review…love your videos. Have had my Mavic 2 Pro for 3 years now & have just got the Mini 2 a couple of days ago. Really looking forward to flying it. Weather here in the UK isn’t great at the moment. What an amazing place you live…especially great for Drones! Keep up the good work 👍 Ben
Well done. Even more excited for mine to arrive.
Love it ! Always cool to see you pushing to the limit and testing extra stuffs ^^
Very cool thanks for taking the time to show us the options of drone has a lot of information here
One of the things I like the most about your videos specifically is how easily it is to read your landscape. Its really easy to visually benchmark and compare your different range tests because of the terrain. Like "oh he almost made it all the way out to the coast on that last one and this one he made it a little less far" Its not just numbers.
Absolutely brilliant Without a doubt !!
Superb !!! Thanks I just got one of these for Christmas you’ve given me a grand idea of the range and altitude ..
Watched the range test first then this one. Thanks for answering many questions. Plus it was fun to watch. Soooooooo, I'm a new subscriber.
Thanks so much for the great video! I have been researching different drones before I commit to buying my first one. The Mini 2 keeps topping the list. After watching this video, I am sold! Thanks again!! - Rick
2 miles is all I need so it's going to work for me. Your videos aren't long. My hiking ones are long. Great info. Thanks...
Why aren’t you verified
Mini 1 can do 2 miles
2 miles is far tho I think most people wont even go that far
@@kimjongtrump3493 true unless they are doing a range test
It is you who make the video very seriously, and you will know the skills of making it.
My video is not as good as yours.
Hey Dustin, I'm finally getting my first Mini 2. I ditched my Holy Stone 700D. I took a major loss but It should be delivered today while I'm at work. I can't wait
Great video with amazing details, tips and tricks. You took is out almost 3 miles...wow! Just bought mine tonight, should be here tomorrow. Always wanted one. Excited. Thank goodness I'm not in a Geo Restricted zone in Miami. Thanks for sharing and doing the research for us! Much appreciated.
Thank you for the demo. I was going to get an F11s, but now I'm going to get the DJI Mini 2. I like the range, which is what I really want even if I never push it just for stabile connectivity.
Good range test. Love that it has a zoom feature in such a tiny package!
Ok another good one Dustin! We're gonna wait for that range test to zero though. ;) (no pressure. lol) BTW, I just realized that you talked non stop for 40 minutes straight ... and you held my attention the whole time. You have a rare talent my friend! Keep the great info comin'!
Great Video mate, loved it. Very informative 👏. Thank you
This was a great video. I was wondering how far it could go. You answered that question for me👍🏼
WoW the range is amazing thanks for the video 😉
Amazing range. Glad to know that it can come back after reaching that far.
How can you see this thing i would get lost do you press return home?
@@bosspranks8349 yes, and also you can set the drone to RTH if it loses signal as well.
@@colbycarroll7746 how i do that
@@bosspranks8349 in your settings on the app, there should be three options to select from if signal is lost: RTH, Hover, or Descend.
@@colbycarroll7746 thanks bro
Got to love the tail wind coming back at 23.3 mph. Hey Dustin I should have my fimi x8 se 2020 by tomorrow. Your range test on the fimi is my all time favorite and have watched it several times and the review on it is the best on youtube. Thanks for this review on mini 2
Thank you again for a detailed test. Always love watching your reviews!!!
Awesome videos, well explained, straight forward and to the point! Just bought a mini 2 and certainly looking forward to getting it in the air and having fun. Keep up the good work on the videos 👍👌
How far have you gotten with it
@@jacobcvelasco I assume this question is for me? I’ve had the M2 up in the air and flying locally, no great distances achieved just yet! Although I’ve taken it to approximately 350ft in height. Still early days for me to give more detail on the drone.
The DJI Mini 2 is just incredible. Great footage, great price and great entry but it is also great for experienced drone flyers. It is also a perfect way to test out if you like drones or not
I really like how you review the dji range that is more or less affordable to the average jo Duncan The spark mini mav 1 and 2 are affordable drones with excellent performance as you so beautifully highlight in all your excellent reviews. I adore your range tests ! You really push the units to the limits ! Great work mate
Great information, recently bought this drone and needed help understanding the app controls. Thank you so much, now I can go out and practice with confidence.
I got the fly more combo and it is so worth it, cheers for the videos on helping make my decision 🏴
HOW DID YOU GET THE FLY MORE COMBO ??? I WANNA PURCHACE ONE . BUT IT DOES'NT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT EXTRA BATTERIES AT ALL ! WOULD LOVE YOUR INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET THAT COMBO !! THANK YOU !
I just bought ordered on of these and your video has me really stoked to get my hands on it.
I been watching all you mini2 videos and I’m falling for this drone
The video I've been waiting is here anyway thank you for doing it and now I'm on to watching the video
Thanks for great video real no music no nothing pretty clean
This was a GREAT vid while I try to determine WHICH one I want to get for personal fun RV tour drones! Thank you so much! I (personally) don’t mind the length of your videos because you are doing everything I would end up doing with it to see WHAT I liked/didn’t like lol - so this is allowing me to determine where I want to spend the $!!!! I have been leaning more towards this one - mine is for more personal application - headed across the states and just want to enjoy where we’ve been... i just LOVE how thorough you are. GREAT job!
I learned a few things, thanks! Excellent review.
Great video man, hope you and your family stay safe :)
you are the bob ross of drone videos!🎨 really enjoy your calm, easy-going attitude that pervades all of your content. i never fail to hit the like button as soon as i click on your videos👍
No I can't claim to that bob....but he's very cool 😆 🤣 😂
Great video and explanation, like how you push the drone, really impressive
Nice vid as always Dustin,now just waiting on the range test with the mini 1 battery
Amazing Mini 2 is a Beast!
Since I had a mini 1.. my air staying home more often..😂.. but I gave it to my brother for his first drone cuz I know I'm gonna get the mini2 ... it's amazing DJI can do.... thumb up for you Sir.... 👍👍
The Mini 2 did great on the range test, you really had a good signal. And thanks for showing limitations of the intelligent flight modes on this drone. You always do a great job on these video's.
Hi, Dustin. Very impressive, as much on the quality of the videos as on the performance on that small wonder.
I will follow you for sure. Have a great weekend !
Another great video. I have been using LiPos in RC aircraft for years. The minimum safe voltage for a Lipo is 3.0V per cell. That is the absolute minimum. 3.3v is best. 3.5v is conservative. Lipo are lighter but not as durable is Li Ion. That is why they mainly use Li Ion in power tools instead of LiPo. Also as you saw LiPo's are lighter because of the way they are constructed.
Thnx for the video, and thnx for km units. Your subscribers from Europe are grateful for that :)
Metric measurements are dumb and made for dumb countries.
@@Freekniggers And your point is? Stop being hateful.
@@Freekniggers yes, absolutely- you really know your stuff. You should start making educational videos for us ignorant Europeans; I’ll help you get recognition for most awe inspiring wisdom. What has the rest of the world been missing? Are you sure you want to reveal your Ace in the Hole?
For those in the European countries our drones are different especially with the DjI ocusync 2 here in America we actually get the 4 to 6 miles distance. The proof is have you ever seen an American CZcams channel about mini 2 or about ocusync having horrible reception losing signal or flyaways. There's a reason. Our remote transmission and drone transmission is a little bit more powerful
i love this long, in depth video about the drone, I feel like this video would lives forever for the people who's considering to buy a new drone but can't decide which drone should they buy, great video.
If I was a spark or mini user looking to upgrade with tight budget, this drone is the best choice, as it can manage a 30 minute flight with outstanding range, yes, 10 kilometers, but of course who flies that far, it only shows you can have perfect control of this little drone even great range. Just be careful though, it has no obstacle avoidance🤗
Great video ! Fun to watch & learn at the same time
Dustin,
Another great video, thanks. 👏
Litchi software adds functionality to DJI drones such as preplanned way point missions and active tracking. The advantage with Litchi is that you can fly the same route with different drones, or on different days. It would be great if you could include a review under Litchi control.
Once again Dustin, another great range test video! Would it be possible to add in a graphic/chart at the end of your range test videos, to compare all of the different range tests you have performed on the variety of makes and models? It would be good to see the range of each and the price point of each too, kind of like a leaderboard. Anyway, just a thought.
Very helpful video, thanks for your efforts!
Thanks you, this was helpful in my decision to go with the Mini 2 vs Mini SE !
I love distance testing vids. It’s so fun to see what these lil machines can do
The best feeling ever is returning home on an empty battery... And having two more fully charged ready to go out again. Always go for the Fly More.
Very nice of you to make video. I just got that drone and i'm learning just how much fun it is ........ GBYAY!!!!! Kenny in Vegas.
Videos may be long, but very thorough and informative. Keep doing what you're doing.
So awesome! Great review.
Just wasted 40min watching your video and i really enjoyed it. Good stuff. Thanks. Wanna have this mini2 but still cant justify spending money on it. All best. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing, have been doing fpv for over 10 years now, now im going to go from plane, to drone, this drone thanks to you. Thank you so much, peace from Norway!
Same here and I just got this model and it totally rocks!
Add the extra folding landing gear and use a big iPad for the screen!
Drones can go where no plane can. Flight time is the planes advantage.
I finally pulled the trigger on this little guy. Couldn't decide between this one and the Air 2. I finally decided on this one as I fly more for fun and hobby than for photography. I think a lot of the features of the Air 2 would be wasted on me. Again, excellent video, Dustin.
I just did my first flight with my mini 2 and I only flew it around a park. I had NO IDEA it had this kind of capability, holy shit. I'm blown away by this
(it was my dad's and he gave it to me because he never used it, so I had never researched anything about it aside from the controls)
just waiting for my Mini 2, cant wait to start flying :D
Enjoyed this video. Just got the Mini 2 cheap used since the 3 is out. DJI is like years faster than it's competition.
Good work, I continually learn on YT. It's like DJI have hands down made this hobby profession whatever available to everyone and the reliability of their hardware & software is perhaps unmatched.
I wish DJI would let you turn off that constant beeping when returning home.
I muted it and missed half of what was said because of that damn beeping. 🔊🔊🔊
Yeah that would be much better.
Seen a CZcams video where I guy updated his drone settings through his computer to set it to 10 percent or whatever you like
You can can’t you? Just override and then just fly it back yourself or just hit return home manually.
Do you have to hold down return button constantly..or can you just hit twice??
Excellent video. I own the Phantom 3 Pro, P4 Advance, original Mavic Pro and I just purchased the Mini 2 after watching your video. Thank you. I enjoyed watching it very much.
I own every single DJI drone ever made!
@@xxxxxDUSTYxxxxx How is your Phantom 3 doing? Still flying? Mine went through a couple shell cracks (stress cracks) under the motors. DJI replaced the shell twice. I added the aluminum motor mount bases to reinforce and no problems since. Still a great drone IMO but sometimes weary of the single compass. It's failed on me a couple of times.
great vid man, im here in italian alps waiting foy mini 2 to arrive, so this is perfect demo for me , many thanks
great narrative. good quality content thankyou.
You will also get more range if you increase the altitude of the drone. The better your line-of-sight, the stronger your signal connection will be from your controller. Great video!
“In kilometers for you guys in the uk” dont you mean “the entire earth except the us”
the funny thing is the UK use miles
@@christhorney The UK is officially metric but still uses miles for distances...
@@PH61a and mpg instead of L/100km... ah the sweet byproducts of not going full commit..
Haha….. absolutely! I can only work in miles, mpg, and weight is done in Stone and pounds for me. Talk to me about kilometres and gallons, no idea what you’re on about! 🤷♂️
@@PH61a what part of it is metric? the houses with newer ovens that have Celsius instead of Fahrenheit ?
Got some awesome videos and picks..thanks Happy new!!
Hi, Dustin great video by the way. The tracking objects function is amazing I use it all the time to do hotels for my job.
Keep up the content love you man🥰
Defo great man and whats your favourite drone?
The one we've all been waiting for! 😁
Commented the same lol
WOW..just tested mine for the first time in the Mountains and only hit about 400-500 yards then lost signal, luckily it returned to home automatically. Have to try it again..Great video!
Your videos are amazing man keep them up
That truly is an awesome little drone
