Hey All!
In this video I decided to take the Mini 2 SE down to a local park because I could see the clouds were coming together for a nice sunset. Despite the wind I put the Mini 2 SE to the test.
The BIGGEST take away for me is that the gimbal really is affected by the wind when it is greater than 20 miles per hour. I also noticed that although the drone can physically handle some pretty good wind for its weight, the battery life unfortunately is really depreciated by these kinds of conditions. The drone still got some cools shots and made it home in one piece.

Interesting flight. Great time of day. The play of light at times was stunning. I look forward to seeing more of your productions. Cheers from Wisconsin, Drew.
Thank you George! Yes I couldn’t resist chasing the light 👏☀️ stay tuned for more 📸🌊
Amazing footage from this little drone !
Thanks a lot! More videos dropping later today 😄🙏🏻
Good photos, nice flight 👍
Thanks so much for watching! 🙏🙏
Great shots❤
Thanks so much!
nice video thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching Dennis!
Great video now I will make sure the wind isn’t over 20-25 miles per hour before flying thank you for this also that one picture of the sunset was amazing just one small question what do u use to color ur pictures after u take them or edit them I guess
Yes that would be my recommendation, unless you don’t plan on going very high or far. I use Lightroom mostly and occasionally photoshop if I need to do more advanced edits
Awesome indeed, had to get one after watching this video 😅
That’s so cool to hear this! Thanks for the feedback
Very helpful, all i want is something to get sunset/sunrise pics and videos since i cant see it from my house.
Glad this could help! Perfect drone for that
Again a Nice video! Thanks for the entertainment!! Love your content!!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the comment - will be posting a few more videos this week for sure.
@@The-Drone-Guy that is great news!!!
@@tractioncontroller let me know if there are any topics that are of interest! 😁👍🏻
@@The-Drone-Guy anything about the dji mini 2 (se) is perfect! everything is great! thanks! 🙂
@@tractioncontroller I have a new mini se video loading and wrapping up edits in a comparison flight with the mavic 3 ✌🏻
I've see a few videos of these being put up in windy conditions. For some, like me, being able to handle wind, within reason, is a BIG issue. I'm also interested in range and the pan features. Not only am I impressed with the pan features, but am amazed that the internal software stitches it all together without additional software required. Great video.
Isn’t it an impressive little drone! Which one do you have? And what do you like photographing most? Always like seeing new comments here. Thanks for watching!
I have a few regular plane Jane drones but want this specific one as a step up into the FPV realm with all of these features as a bonus.
@@kodak_jack very cool! I hope to incorporate fpv into my videos in the future
@@The-Drone-Guy ? Isn’t that what you’re doing? You don’t have to be wearing goggles for it to be FPV, do you? Isn’t using a phone the same?
@@kodak_jack I’m just using my phone and flying the drone with standard gimbal maneuvers. When you fly fpv the gimbal tilts with the drone , I believe this can still be fine without goggle but goggles are the most common method to fly. Does they answer the question I hope?
Mine is arriving today from Amazon! When you had the low battery warning at the end, how did you cancel the "take over" of a RTH situation? Also in the top right corner of the screen between the battery percent indicator and the signal strength meter, there are numbers like ' and '' (Feet and inches?) . What are they indicating and they vary up and down while you fly.
Hey! Thats so exciting it is arriving today - When the drone initiates the auto RTH feature it will ask you to confirm or cancel. So I selected cancel. You can adjust the RTH feature to initiate at different battery percentages. Those other numbers you are referring to indicate an estimated battery life time in Minutes ' and Seconds " - I hope this helps happy flying!
Just ordered today ,be nice sitting next to the Air2s
Very nice my man! That’s a nice squad you have there 🚁
nice videos
Thanks a lot!
Hi great video, I'm thinking about getting one, could I ask when you crop a video to vertical do you lose much quality.
Hey there! Great question - you will lose quality however I have found it often times is still plenty good for social media
@@The-Drone-Guy Thanks for your reply, I'm debating between the mini 2 se and the 3. I just don't want to spend too much to start Incase I don't get much use out of it..
@@OutdoorExploringFamily yes I totally get that! Then the mini 2 se might be a great way to enter the drone world and see if it’s something you will get use out of 😁✌🏻 can’t lose either way
Do you regularly use an ND or CPL filter on your Mini 2 SE to get these shots, or just exposure bracket and stack?
So far I have just bracketed and HDR edit in the images. The gimbal mechanism is already very weak and adding any ND filter isn’t something I see as a necessity- great question!
My phantom 4 and mavic 3 have UV filters
That steeple shot would look good on a long canvas on a wall
Thanks so much I totally agree! Fun colors ✌️
how is the rule of vlos in the uk? the mine 2 se is so small i start to struggle after 200m. Nice shots regardless
Hey! I’m not sure about the UK laws on line of sight. I’ll have to look into that! It is definitely much harder to spot than my phantom or mavic 3
At around 1:38 in the video you show an app on screen with weather conditions, what app are you using there?
Hey there thanks so much for watching! If you head to my description you should see the link to this app - it’s called UAV Forecast. Hope this helps!
Are you editing your pics on another app? Or is this all with the drone? That sun pic was amazing.
Im super new to this stuff.. this is my first drone, and just got it today lol.
Hey! Wow so happy you found my channel. It can’t be more exciting than to get a new drone. But can also be nerve racking!
I use a variety of programs to edit. My most basic being snapseed on my phone or iPad to my more advance adobe lightroom + photoshop
I’ll be doing a photo editing tutorial soon! Where you flying from?? 🙏🚁
Awesome, thank you. That snapseed app seems pretty "newbie" friendly lol. I'll try messing around with that one first.
A tutorial would be great, I'll definitely keep an eye out for that.
I'm on the oregon coast, so I'll be doing alot of light house and coastline shots.
Could you please explain how u use the hdr function. Do u stack the photos in post editing or does the drone do it when you utilise the setting
Hey! I typically use adobe lightroom to stack the images so that they can create a better HDR effect. I will be doing a video on this soon!
@@The-Drone-Guy thanks. That will be awesome. U make the se look super 👌
@@nadeemghoor1382 wow I really appreciate that!
So it dosent come home automatically before the point of no return battery wise ?
Hey! Great question, in this case that didn’t apply as I was close enough to still return on my own with battery left. I have it set to automatically return home no matter how close once battery is 20% - which I believe is DJI default
If I was further away and the drone knew it only had enough battery to return home it would have started that automatically, just not in this case. Hope that helps clarify the two!
Only 74 subscribers? Man, you’re so underrated. Great work!
(And yes I am Longjumping_Clue5839.)
Wow thanks my friend I really appreciate that! I just got serious here on CZcams but so far having a lot of fun sharing these videos. Thanks for supporting!
I recently bought 1. It's my first drone. Very powerful and responsive. Just need to buy an iphone for my android isn't compatible. Hooked up my mothers iphone x and it connected with no problem. Great flight
Hey! That’s very exciting, glad to see you found my video. They are super little drones. Enjoy it 👍🏻🚁
Is your Android old and you can't download the app or is any Android going to have problems? I have a 2021 Moto g Pure. Thanks.
@@kodak_jack I was surprised to see his android couldn’t work with the DJI fly app
@@The-Drone-Guy That’s why I want to get an answer about this. It may be the phone is too old.
@john niziurski i have an a71 samsung. It downloaded the app via dji website. It just wont connect to the controller. I'm running android 13. It says on the mini 2se box made for iphone. But also has a section which shows compatible with ios and android
what do you edit the pictures on
Hey! I most typically use adobe Lightroom - however in a pinch I will use the snapseed app (by google) on my phone
i live in the same area. do you recommend this for a first drone?
Hey! Yes I think this drone is phenomenal for the price. I am very happy with how it handles and the photos and videos it has taken. Are you looking to photograph anything in particular?
@@The-Drone-Guy Im not sure yet. I just found interest to the hobby recently. I go to York beach a lot so I think that would be a fun place to mess with it. also would like to use it for our car meets.
what is the app that you use for the weather?
Hey there! Great question - I use the UAV Forecast app and usually drop the link to it in my video description. Hope this helps!
@@The-Drone-Guy thank you so much :)
@@ahijitpraharaj you’re most welcome!
What sd Card you use ?
I use a scan disk image mate PRO 👍
❤
Thanks for watching!
@@The-Drone-Guy I'm from Indonesia using the DJI Mini 2, very happy with your video
@@The-Drone-Guy I like subscriber
I have a question. I bought an Apple IPad Air it’s an older refurbished one. Well when I started flying I noticed my screen was freezing up on me while still having good RC connection Then in the top left corner of my controller a warning popped up and said my CPU were loaded up. What does that mean? Can you help me with this?
Hey! I’m wondering if your iPads storage is so full it can’t run app properly. Are you using a micro sd to store photos and videos? Also check the apps cache data and clear it if it hasn’t been in awhile.
@@The-Drone-Guy it doesn’t have SIM card nor a SD card the IPad only has 32 GB and I only want to use it just to launch the DJI Fly app over Wi-Fi for the bigger screen then my Apple iPhone.
Let me find the specs on it I’ll send it to you it my be just to old.
@@backcountryexplorer6841 I have found iPads to be very finicky, have only been able to get my old iPad mini 2 series to connect to my phantom 4. I bought a new iPad and was excited to connect to my mavic 3 but have been unable too 😢
@@The-Drone-Guy what do you recommend for the bigger screen, and better view besides using the iPhone 12
Thats beautiful sunshine could you do a range test please its important. 🎉😊
Yes I am planning a range test, just need to decide on which location is best. So stay tuned!
@@The-Drone-Guy yess here we go!
@@selcukemreunal5340 do you have a mini 2 SE?
@@The-Drone-Guy yep ı have
@@selcukemreunal5340 very cool! Okay I’m excited to get this range test done then
Almost lost the drone I was 1000m away from it and kept ignoring wind warnings and it started to drift away and I lost signal, after 16 minutes I started to see it come back with a minute battery left, never fly in high winds
Yes the wind can really be tough, and is most dangerous on your flight home on low battery as you experienced. But it only takes that one chance to learn a valuable lesson and become and better dronie. Enjoy! 🙏🚁
i just flew in high winds 2 days ago with over 30mph gusts and was only 500 feet away. was flying forward and was watching it fly backwards. yea dont fly on windy days.
@@tallicafan85 haha this is exactly what happens. Super scary when full throttle doesn’t even touch the wind. Thanks for sharing!
Why were you not shooting in 2.7k ?
Great question! I normally always do but this was one of my first videos with the new drone and also one of my first CZcams videos so wasn’t totally paying attention to every detail 😂
👍
Thanks for watching !
@@The-Drone-Guy thank you too🙂
Hi, why Don't you use RAW/DNG Type File?
Hey there! I do typically shoot RAW + JPG but for some of these videos I wasn’t paying attention to make sure the settings were correct 😂✌🏻still getting used to this CZcams stuff. As you can see you can still get some awesome final results with JPG + AEB. Thanks for watching!
@@The-Drone-Guy hahaha yes sure, I can really enjoy it even if only with JPG + AEB and I saw another video from you using RAW + JPG. I'm waiting for the next amazing videos😆✌
@@GaneshaArya-tj4nv thanks so much! Yes same thing happened where I didn’t realize I wasn’t shooting 2.7k 😂
But yes I’ll have a new video out this weekend! Active tracking to the test 🙈
@@The-Drone-Guy can i view the RAW/Original file before editing? Because mine has a lot of noise for the JPG settings
@@GaneshaArya-tj4nv do you mean on my photos?
What is your think about 2 se?
So far I love this little drone! In my opinion one of the best starter drones for beginners or supporting drone for professionals. Thanks for watching!
@@The-Drone-Guy , thanks for answer. So, it’s will be the first my drone, but at the moment I think for buy that drone.
@@Maksym0712 That is very exciting! definitely reach out if you have ay questions
Why you delete my comment? :(
Oh no! It must have been a mistake please reshare your comment 🙏🏻🙏🏻
