Wow! That is insane! I wasn’t expecting that thing to ever work again.
Thanks for watching! I did end up having to have the gimbal repaired. Please subscribe if you haven't!
That is why they have earned the name Mighty Mini.

Oh wow! Amazing rescue. So glad you recovered it. So it actually takes the water quite well. I tried to fly mine through a set of MacDonald's arches and it didn't end well. Drone fell hard from up there after having to dislodge it. Aside from propellers and an IMU calibration it needed nothing to fly again. Those drones are amazing!
Thanks for watching! The insurance program they have is in my future. Please subscribe if you haven't already!
P
That. Is. Amazing !
Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't!
Glad you got it to work again. I have the Mini 3 and every time I go over water I wonder 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have definitely been reluctant to repeat! Thanks for watching
That’s unfortunate bro. but I’m glad you got it back. New Subscriber
Thanks and welcome
I am amazed it recorded for so long and that it made two segments underwater. Also since you didn't ask.... When the drone starts misbehaving and is headed towards disaster. Let go of the controls. The drone will stop where it is and hover and that will give you a chance to figure out what is going on and proceed from there.
Thanks for watching!
Impressive recovery. I have used a rubbing alcohol bath to avoid the corrosion. It worked well.
Very good idea! Thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you haven't already!
So you rub like an alcohol wipe on the interior? Is that how you do it?
Fill a container with rubbing alcohol and submerge the drone in it for a couple of minutes while moving it around in the alcohol. Obviously do not do this to the battery. They let it dry for a week!
Interesting, ok thanks.

And here I am worried that mine got splashed.

Oh 😮
Thanks for watching!
I've opened and conformal coated my mini 2. Nice to know it resistant stock.
Thanks for watching!
How lucky are you that 1, you found it and 2, it still flys….
Thanks for watching!
I sent my Mini SE for a swim about one month ago. Underwater in shallow water for about 2 minutes. Like yours, the battery was ruined but the drone flew again after several days of full-sun drying.
Unfortunately, it has developed an intermittent video "jitter" so the video is unusable about half the time. Also, when the drone is powered on and the motors are OFF, there is a slight, intermittent buzzing sound from the gimbal. I am guessing that the buzzing is related to the jitter, and they are both related to the swim. I don't have the insurance as did not know about it at first.
Hard lesson learned about hand-catching from a kayak.
They repaired my gimbal issues and replaced the battery for around $215. Then I was able to apply for the insurance via some tests and an application process. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
Y did it crash? My mini three just crashed because for some reason it lost signal and it couldn’t load back up so I’m gonna try to do a hotspot on my phone I think that’s what I need. This is a screen type the new type but I use my phone as a I don’t know what you call it station.
User error. Thanks for watching!
Impressive underwater footage from the Mini 2, I had no idea that was a feature DJI put in there? 😳
That deserves a sub, hopefully you'll connect with another Mini drone pilot?
BTW holding 'down' makes it land, oh you already figured that out⚠️😁👍
Thanks for watching! I may have already purchased the insurance program as well as started practice flying.
@@spkgear That's always a good option for new flyer, well worth it as DJI often send a complete new unit out rather than repair your old one.
Even a seasoned drone pilot like myself has those buttock clenching moments flying over water! 😲😳😁
Launching from a boat, that was very brave, I've never tried that, landing would definitely be a challenge, would definitely get my adrenaline pumping for sure! 😲😁👍
You took it very calmly when it went in, I'm sure I'd have been doing a lot more swearing!! 😁👍
That deserves a Sub(marine) LOL Yes it worked well under the water.
@@dave20thmay I see what you did there, very funny! 😁👍
Was I the only one Screaming pull the battery, pull the battery....
Thanks for watching! Luckily, the battery had run out.
Nope i was too lol, and he even try to turn in on right out of the water 😢, i dropped mine in the water too, it was under like 8 feet and it did survive after a whole week of drying and extra drying lol
Firstly, I would never take a drone up with a part charged battery, you never know if you will ever require extra flight time, Secondly, I noticed some of your blades have damaged ends, thats a no fly situation, lastly, make sure you are familiar with the controls before you even contemplate taking it over water. Its a learning curve, be interesting to know if the camera works, i would take at guess there are water stains on the lenses.
Thanks for watching and the stern lecture ;)
@2:45 jaws music starts
Good idea! Thanks for watching.
murica 🤦♂
Thanks for watching!
If you got dji care refresh it's like $40 for a brand new one.
Looks like DJI charges $36 for Care Refresh for the Mini 2 SE and $29 for the replacement fee. Thanks for the tip!
@@spkgear , The only bad part is you have to purchase the insurance within 48 hours of activation of drone. I didn't know if you purchased it or not. Good luck
Well there's $3.30 dollars 💸 down the drain 😂.🫧🚽.
As the water is fresh, water you have more chance of saving it. Place some silica gel pads around it to draw out the moisture or place next to a dehumidifier from about 3 days as that worked for me
Good tip. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't!
I gave my mini 2 a salt water swim, It was in the mater for maybe 30 minutes at most. When I got to it, it was smoking. Naturally I pulled the battery out but I could not recover the drone, it was toast. Sadly I didn't have DJI care refresh because thought I'm seasoned pilot I wont need it. Guess again. So pleased you managed to save yours. Got a sub from me for such a excellent recovery. 🦘😎👍
Thanks! I appreciate it. I purchased the Care Refresh after they sent me the repaired drone.
I'm surprised it still films lol
Thanks for watching!
Yo, sorry about your submarined mini 2. Hope you get it up and running again thru the Care refresh program. As a new program pilot, try not to fly over water. Get confi with the sticks on land, open place.. and be gentle on the sticks .
Thanks for watching!
Did you watch the video?
Everybody ignores the fact that a drone needs to be earthed.
Before flight, Especially when flying from boats as static electricity will draw the drone into the water.
Thanks for watching! I have not heard of this nor can I find anything about it. Can you give us more info?
That's some funny crap.
I noticed the props on 1 motor have the tips broken off.This will damage the motor,and put it back in the lake🥴
I noticed that too and replaced them. Thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you haven't already!
Fresh water or salt water lake 🤔
Fresh. Thanks for watching!
Do you know how rare salt water lakes are? What an odd question.
