  • @TheFrantic5
    @TheFrantic5 Před rokem +8

    Speaking from the future obviously, but DJI now has some updated firmware for the Mini 2 batteries, so make sure to insert every battery you own into the drone and power it on to update the firmware before you fly.
    Also please keep in mind that this update will cause the batteries to self-discharge to 70-60% over the course of several weeks if left unused, even if they're left in the drone or powered battery carrying case. This is normal and helps preserve the battery life significantly.

    @gordyvt Před 3 lety +4

    You do a very good job of introducing this Mini 2 to beginners. Keep up the good work! I purchased my Mini 2 when first came out and still learning great functions on this drone. I had a Phantom 3 Pro before this and didn't need all that size and this was a perfect replacement for it.

    @kellio48 Před 3 lety +2

    I have just ordered one of these and in anticipation of it's arrival, tried to install the DJI Fly app on my Samsung Galaxy J6+ which according to DJI is compatible with the App.
    However while the download was fine, it would not install. "DJI App not Installed."
    More research took me to the DJI forum where I learned that lots of other people were having the same issue on phones also according to DJI are compatible.
    So, if you're thinking about ordering one of these, I suggest you to install the App on your phone first.

  • @kevinwells4986

    Very succinct. Liked it. I've seen a lot of starter tutorials by now, having bought my drone and begun my flying 'career' the end of last year or so. But I'm glad I subscribed. You are very on point in your discussions, so thank you and Happy Holidays.

    March 2nd, 2021. I can't stop flying my mini 2. This thing is so addictive. Day, night, I don't care. And I haven't taken it out of Cine mode because for now that is WAY fast enough, it's still on the 1080 settings, and it takes GREAT Video. Get the combo pack. Well worth the money. It's so easy to fly. And the carry case that the combo pack comes with is really nice. And the Blade Strap is cool. Yeah. Best money I've spent in years. And Video's like these make it so much more fun. Thanks for a Great series of Video's on the mini 2. I'm loving it.

      @normsimpson2342 Před 2 lety

      @@xiozone1353 Do you have more than one? Does the Mini 2 fly fine? If it's just one battery you can have it replaced. Did you try looking in the menu under battery and see if it says anything? Did the battery charge?

Specially tha RTH Altitude is the most important of all. I am afraid of crashing my drone on trees haha, before landing. Now, am going to the part 2. Thank you once again!

    Ed, I so much appreciate your tutorials. I had my first flight two days ago and was a little nervous and I have axquestion for you.
    If I put in the settings as you recommend for starters at home, will they still be in place in a couple days when I go outside to fly or will they revert to factory settings.
    I realize that as I get used to flying I will change them to suit. I look forward to your comments.

When setting the return to home height, is it measured from the controller or the drone? ... if I fly up a steep hill and my return to home height is set to 30 metres and I my drone has traveled 40 meters up hill and I lose signal, would my drone raise upwards by 30 metres or descend in to the ground trying to get to the height of my controller???
