    Phil. I have that floating thing. It is ok. I live on an island, here in Japan (which is also a big island), and often fly near the ocean and over it. I have used it a few times, but find that it really limits what I can do with the drone, when it is attached. For one, my field of view is limited. When I do Active Track, the floaties are always getting in the frame. I can't shoot pano, because the floaties also get in the way. Also, they have a lot of wind resistance, so you might want to add more time to your return to home setting, or else it might not make it back (in which case you will really need the floating capability). I have landed on the water with it and then taken off. It works fine. BUT, BUT.....if you land and take off, go straight up. Do not (like I did once), try to take off, moving forward. It flipped over. Fortunately, I was near it. Anyway, it is ok. Just know that there are some things you all need to consider.

    I have a DJI mini 2 SE and was surprised to find out that most of (not all) your accessories still keep a sub 250g drone legal to fly without registration or RID. The 2 things I did different was The DJI Mini 2 Two-Way Charging Hub at $39.00, only charges (as you stated) batteries in sequence (1 at a time) so the Hanatora Battery USB Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 for DJI Mini's at $13.99 is a cheaper way to go! not to mention it's easier to store in your bag because of its much smaller size. and I went with a "weighted" (orange & black) landing pad, so it doesn't need to be staked. Thank you for the insight into these accessories.

    Phillip, I have a question about the water landing kit. I had the same thoughts regarding using the skids to recover the drone and claim the insurance. But I did wonder, how much sea water is kicked in to the underside of the drone as a result of take-off and landing? The bottom of the drone is vented to cool the battery. How problematic do you think it is?

    I'm an avoid photography and the Mini 2 is my first drone. I really like it. I discovered your channel while searching for filters. Really appreciate your videos. You probably know and others may have noted it, regarding the blade guards, the firmware/software app now recognize when you use the guards. I put my on, the screen showed it recognized the guards and was calibrating for the guards. Thus, no need to go into the Settings from what I can see. Look forward to watching your other videos. One question. I do like the bag (that you show) that came with my combo pack; very small. I've thought of getting a hard case which are larger. Thoughts hard case vs. the bag itself. The compact size of the bag makes it less visible and easy to put into my hiking pack.

    • @PhillipSkraba

      The long exposure are for photography, if you're shooting a flowing river or cars at sunset, you'll get some pretty cool effects. The bright day are your basic set and the 8 pack are great if you're really into your drone shots and film at all hours of the day. If you aren't sure, I'd go for the 4 pack I have linked below. The long exposure are not for filmmaking, unless you want some a very specific odd look.

      @PhillipSkraba  Před 3 lety +3

      Hi James! Sure! So start with your fps, if you're in Europe 25, if you're in the US 24. Then your shutter speed, set it to 1/50th and you're ready. All you do now is set the sensitivity, so your iso, start with iso 100. Now if it's sunny cloudy outside stick on an ND16 and see how the image looks on the phone, if the sky isn't completely white and the ground isn't completely dark you're good to go. If it's still too bright stick on the ND32, if it's too dark stick on the ND8. If it gets dark at night, take off the filter, and adjust the iso, so go to 200, 400, 800 until you get an image where you can see the scenery, usually 1600 and 3200 at night to see lights from buildings. I hope that helps!

    • @PhillipSkraba
      @PhillipSkraba  Před 3 lety

      Hi Juri! So ND filters are simply put sunglasses for our cameras. To achieve natural motion blur, so the image not being too sharp or too blurry, we need to set the correct shutter speed. That is 1/50th if our frame rate it 25fps. Using that 180 degree rule as it's called, we allow far too much light into our lens, so we need to limit how much is getting in using ND filters. If you film at 25fps and have a shutter of 1/1000th, which is very fast, you'll have a very sharp and jittery image, if you go the other and use 1/25th you'll have a blurry and almost dream like image.

    Do you know the weight of the ND filters? I am guessing they might be more than 1g which would then push the Mini 2 into new classification territory, at least as far as the UK rules are concerned, and no longer be legally able to fly in certain places. I'm not sure if/when anyone is stopped, their drone is ever weighed for compliance?

      I think they might be a gram or two, they are very light. I have to be honest, I don't think the drone police would weigh the drone, I've never heard of that happening, the rules are more or less the same for all of us across Europe now.
