10 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW | DJI Mini 2

- In this video I cover 10 things you may not know about your DJI Mini 2. Well, it’s actually a lot more than 10 but I’m calling it 10. I cover topics such as embedded telemetry + camera data, gimbal pitch, batteries, flight pause, combination stick command + flight pause, phone charging, spot metering and more! Have a watch and hopefully you will learn a new trick or two about this amazing little drone! Thanks for watching!
Breakdown on the tips...
00:14 Telemetry Data
00:58 Flight Pause
01:32 The Nudge
02:27 Batteries
03:28 Gimbal
04:15 More Info
04:55 White Balance
05:34 Pinpoint Zoom
06:16 Phone Charging
06:38 Spot Metering
NOTE 1: The "Phone Charging" option is only available on iOS where you can choose for it to be on or off. On Android devices it is enabled automatically and cannot be turned off hence the option is not available. Sorry for the confusion.
NOTE 2: Hat Tip to Yves for the pull down nudge trick! I only ever did "the nudge" by pushing the drone up since my DJI Spark days. I didn't know it worked in the opposite direction too. Cheers!
NOTE 3: As of version 1.4.2 the "Phone Charging" option is no longer available. iOS devices now charge automatically like Android devices.

OMG. A "non-clickbait" video title and presentation. Superb set of things to know. Yes I've only had a DJI mini a week, but I literally only knew 3 or 4 of these! Best one? "The Nudge" Thanks! Sub earned!
Thanks! Enjoy your Mini!
Agree…!
I feel like this comment was full of sarcasm
Totally agree, super useful tips, well delivered and unpretentious. I sub’d half way through and will be watching & learning more from this channel.
I am in Africa but I need a drone
Straight to the point, no click bait, extremely informative, excellent presentation. Well done sir, this video helped a ton!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for comment and thanks for watching, cheers!
Yee
Yeah
there was clickbait, he did more then 10 :P
The Mini 2 batteries are LiPo, which has move voltage allowing better movement in wind conditions. The batteries are NOT the same.
When after watching and reading probably every Mini 2 material, you still realize there is something more to learn. Great work!
Thanks and thank you for watching!
@@SteveCoutts you got
Super informative. Thank you so much!
Glad it was useful, thanks for watching. Cheers!
Great tips, thanks for this video. I've had this drone for about 2 or so months now, I primarily use for shooting real estate photos and videos and am super impressed by what it can do, especially how it handles high winds given its size but your tips are great and most of them I haven't seen on other videos, I love the selecting exposure tip. Cheers.
Thanks for watching and happy you found some useful tips! It is a really great drone! Cheers!
I’ve watched every video on this drone and you sir have made the absolute best one :D thank you
By far !
Hey thanks! 😀
Thanks! 👍
Agreed Charlie!! Excellent video!
Yup I new about 4 out of the 10 tips.great information.
I've been using my Mini2 for a year and you've taught me at least 3 things I didn't know about and will make a difference to my workflow. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad to hear you picked up a few new tricks Jamie. Happy, safe flying! Cheers!
Wow. The absolute simplest tutorial yet..! I have subscribed and can't thank you enough for such a well explained video on the mini 2. No rambling on about you, just right to the functions.
Thanks Bryan, I appreciate it! Cheers!
I love my Mini 2 but you definitely teach me a few more things! I'm super keen to try the vertigo effect next time I fly my drone! great video, keep up the good work!
Thanks Diego. It's good to hear you picked up a few new tricks.
Question ?
Just got my dji mini 2 yesterday, and found these tips to be brilliant. the zoom feature using the wheel is a great one. thank you :)
Awesome! Good luck with your Mini 2, it's a great drone! Happy, safe flying!
خويا تبيعها بروجولة هههههههه
Great video, thank you for being quick and efficient with the tips. I've beem flying drones for 13 years and still learned something new.
For sure, thanks for watching! Glad you picked up a new trick. Cheers!
Absolutely agree that you rose the bar high, sir: you perfectly master your subject with ease and simplicity. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and the kind words. Cheers!
What a great video!!! I really like the idea of highlighting the things that a user might not know about the drone, instead of the normal review
Thanks! 👍
Brilliant Steve! I learnt 10 things at least there! Pause button saved my spark once or twice, most important button to know. Mini 2 is ordered 😀 excited!
Awesome! Glad to hear you learned a few new tricks. Very exciting! Cheers!
You're gonna love ocyusync2 , reliable & clear...
Thanks for the information. I especially found useful the info on saving the telemetry data and the nudge up or down for the hand take off.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thanks very much! Appreciate the zero filler approach. Quality
Thanks so much, I appreciate it. Cheers!
I just realized that during Return To Home, the left stick is fully functional to allow for some interesting shots on your way back.
It was added in a recent update, definitely a cool feature! 👍
You can set a different RTH by pressing the 3 button and resetting RTH By pressing HOME and draging the RTH somewhere else
I actually learned more than one new thing! Thanks
Awesome! Cheers!
I've learned 4 !
Fanático trabajo!!
Gracias por los muy útiles consejos.
Me alegro de que haya sido útil. ¡Gracias por ver!
Thank you fo such a great video without zero time wasting! The best !
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching, cheers!
Best dolly zoom ever.
New mastering assingment
Awesome information on the Mini 2 Steve. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Doug, thanks for watching!
Some really good tips there mate, picked my mini 2 up at the weekend and being my first drone, I'm very impressed, the dolly zoom looks really cool and I am now also keen to try the nudge take off. Nice vid 👌🏻
Thanks! Best of luck with your Mini 2. Great choice, great done! I did a video on tips for folks starting out with their first done, you may find some good info in there too - czcams.com/video/tEiU4QKltA4/video.html. Happy, safe flying!
This is the kind of content i need. Straight to the point. Very juicy in a small amount of time. Perfect!
Thanks and thanks for watching. Cheers!
I definitely learned more than one thing from this video. Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching! Glad you picked up some new tricks. Cheers!
Great video. I thought I knew about the mini 2 features until I watched this!
Well done Steve 👍
Terrific! Thanks for watching!
thank you, thought i might pick up one or two tips, but all 10 were great and i will watch this a couple of times to make sure they have all sunk in.
Haha! That's awesome Phil, glad to hear it was helpful. Cheers!
I love the mini and Mini 2 and flown for a long time now but never knew all these things about the mini 2. You are really kind to share all this info. Thinking I discovered all things about the mini 2, you really surprised me with the additional information you provided. I saved the video to watch after downloading and will make notes on many things you have mentioned for a more informed pilot. I am very thankful to you for all this, Ray C Florida. I was flying my Mavic 2 Pro one day and touched the screen to find out the camera can look sideways when in flight forward and not turning the drone. My friend had no idea so was pleased when I shared the info. The mini 2 loves to fly out to the Gulf on sunsets, but the Pro 2 Hasselblad is an incredible drone I will keep forever!!!!!!!! Thanks Steve.
P.S. I want to high school in the mid 60's with a friend named Jimmy Coutts, How Interesting. Class of 1965 Cardinals.
Thanks for the kind words Ray. I am glad the video was helpful. That's funny about Jimmy Coutts. It's not a very popular surname so it's always interesting when it pops up. Happy, safe flying! Cheers!
Wow, these were super useful tips! Just got my new Mini 2 and have been devouring videos about it, and this was one of the absolute best I've seen. Thanks Steve! 👌👍😄
Thanks so much! Happy, safe flying! Cheers!
me too got mine today
@@bxthorn3100 👍
this is AWESOME !! Thank you Steve !
Thanks Bill, I appreciate it! Cheers!
Thank you Steve for these useful informations, which are difficult to find anywhere else. In particular, before purchasing a Mini 2 I needed to know whether it is possible to have GPS coordinates embedded in the video. It is not said in the DJI manual I downloaded. Now I know!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful! 👍
WOW the most informative straightforward video hack I’ve ever seen. Not a second wasted! I’m so hyped to apply them all in practice w/ my drone! Thank you! +subscribed 🙋🏻♀️
Thanks so much for watching and thanks for the kind words. Happy, safe flying!
I didn’t expected to learn so many new things, the hand-launching trick is absolute gold! 😁
Awesome! Cheers!
@@SteveCoutts I tried the 'grab and twist method to stop it' them blades cut me up but it stopped ......🤣
@@scaffatthetop Yikes!! Hahaha!
Great info - concise and informative. Keep them coming for the Mini 2
Thanks! Trying, haha! 👍
Its sick how many useful features they crammed in to this thing. even after watching multiple vids, still learned a fe new tricks. thanks man!
It's an amazing little drone for sure. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Great information as always. Just a small advice, when turning off the motors, always use the left stick down instead of the combination. From what I learned, this combination to turn the propellers off are only for emergency shutdown :)
Another question, the Mini 2 only slides the gimbal up and down? The Air 2 can also move left and right, for those who don't know. Cheers mate, thanks for all the tips. I really hope your channel grows fast, you totally deserve it.
Thanks so much! I just tested left to right and it does not work for the Mini 2. Cheers!
"this combination to turn the propellers off are only for emergency shutdown"
Why would this matter? They both turn the drone off.
@@michaelm.1947 Its DJI advice. Probably because they run different shutdown instructions for the sensors and system.
@@agent_ethan As I usually hand catch (P4A+), I'm used to doing the L-hand off movement. So I was just wondering what was different.
Yesterday I had a 360° camera mounted below and landed on a custom platform. In that case, I used the dual-stick method since both hands were free.
@@agent_ethan I know this is 6 months later but the context of the emergency shutdown info from DJI is WHILE FLYING. Both methods do exactly the same thing and Steve's comment is related to shutting things down after landing.
Literally the first time in my life that a "you may not know" video actually learns me something...! Great video, thanks for all the tips!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful. Cheers!
you mean teaches you something ...see you are now learning something ...say thank you ...
I have watched so any DJI Mini 2 videos. This one is by far the best! Thank you.
Thanks so much Alex, cheers!
by far the best video about tips to get started thank you very much 👌👌👌
Cheers! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! 😀
Learned lots, ordered a mini 2, arrived with a defective camera, sent back, waiting for a replacement...in the meantime learning patience as well as useful tips from your videos. Thanks Steve
Thanks for watching! Oh boy, hard to be patient I bet. Hope your 2nd one flies true! Cheers!
wow I came here thinking these 10 things would be some things I probably already knew, BUT no they are the things I didn't knew and actually no other youtuber talks about it. Great video man!
That's awesome. I love hearing that, thank you! 👍
Exactly, I just want to state the same :-) Well done !
Nicely done! Excellent information concisely delivered. Perfect!
Happy to hear it was useful. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, cheers!
Thanks much!! Thinking to buy it next week. So I’ll keep watching 👍🏻
Thanks for watching! For the price the Mini 2 is a very capable and reliable drone. Cheers!
Thanks! Now they added another killer feature, the ability to control your drone while it’s returning home, it’s amazing! You can get Inspire like footage, what a great aircraft!!!
Absolutely great aircraft! Cheers!
I've seen a couple of these comments, as a non owner, can you explain what advantage this gives over normal recording?
Hey Steve,
I recently bought a Mini 2. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Well done! (You have a new subscriber). Does this "nudge" thing also work with the Mavic Air 2 ?
Thanks Julio, I appreciate it. I have personally tested the nudge with the Spark, Mini 1 and Mini 2. I believe it will work with all DJI drones but I don't like say something like that in a video without testing it. Cheers!
Thanks for dropping that knowledge! Learned a lot. Live those mountain shots too.
Love not live those mtn shots. Lol
Thanks Eric! Happy flying!
Very precise and quick video to show lots of features of the drone!
Love the video and thanks!
Thanks for watching and the comment Larry, I appreciate it. Cheers!
I must admit you did have a few features I didn’t know about
👍
I thought when you let go of the sticks on the remote the drone would hover in place. Is the pause button any different than that except for that it overrides return to home if it is on?
Correct. Flight Pause is different because it immediately stops flight regardless of what's happening - full throttle, quick shot, RTH, etc. So, the idea is, at least I think, in a panic or critical situation, you don't have to fumble around touch the correct part of the screen or perform a joystick action. Eyes on the drone, muscle memory kicks in and you hit flight pause and the drone stops. I think it's most useful for automated flight where I can watch the drone and keep my thumb hovered over flight pause for when my "dronie" QuickShot is heading right in to a tree. I believe touching either stick will stop a QuickShot too but I like the idea of drilling one action in my head for those times when I don't have time to think. Cheers!
Extremely helpful Thank you.
Glad it was helpful, cheers!
Well done. Enjoyable and informative video. No annoying music, to the point, and helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words, cheers!
You deserve way more subscribers!
I appreciate that!
Right
The Nudge is badass and futuristic AF #IronmanShxt 😎😄
Haha! Yeah, it's awesome! 👍
Just got my DJI mini 2. There is so much to learn. Thanks for a great video!
Thanks for watching. Best of luck with your Mini 2. Cheers!
Two years later and this still is a great video, just picked up a mini 2 about a week ago and I haven’t been able to put it down. Now that I’ve watched this, there’s something’s I gotta try out now! Thank you for a great video!
Well thank you! I really appreciate the comment and the kind words. Best of luck with your Mini 2, it's a great, little bird. Cheers!
Thanks for the info. I have a mini 1. Are the sticks on the controller easier to operate on the mini 2? That is my biggest disappointment with the mini compared to my Phantom 4. The controls are stiff and very hard to control smoothly. It’s like trying to draw a circle with an Etch-a-Sketch. It’s almost impossible to smoothly turn while changing altitude or moving forward or back.
I went from the Spark to the Mini 1. I found that the Mini 1's controller was definitely not of the same quality. From the Mini 1 to the Mini 2, the quality of the controller and its controls have definitely been improved. It was one of the first things I noticed going from the M1 to M2, the smoothness of the new remote. Cheers!
Ok I’m trying the dolly zoom. That’s awesome! Great tips brother. God bless and stay safe. Kevin
Thanks Kevin! Dolly zoom is a pretty crazy visual look. Have fun with it. Cheers!
@@SteveCoutts ok man. I finally got the dolly zoom. That was awesome! Lol. Thanks again for the tip.
@@WeretheRoberts Haha! Yeah! It took me at least a dozen tries to get a good one for the video. Cheers!
That was a GREAT video thanks! I've used my Mini 2 for hours and hours of flight time and still didn't discover a lot of those gems on my own, and wouldn't have known them without this video!
Awesome! Glad to hear it was helpful. Happy, safe flying - cheers!
Seriously fantastic video! So many useful tips in one block with little padding. Thank you!
Thanks! 😀
2:15 i once did it with mavic pro and ive almost lost my thumb and index finger they were all covered in blood and i still have scars all over those two fingers true story since then im terified from hand take off and will never do that again even not with a mini but anyway in a more positive way i didnt knew about the rc charge option it could be really useful and also the mini 1 battery could be great since my brother have mini 1 so we could buy extra mini 1 batteries and share
Yikes, that's a bit scary! I can totally understand why you wouldn't want to do that again. I pretty much always hand launch/land and have never had so much as a nick (knock on wood). Glad to hear you picked up a couple of tips. Cheers!
Mini 2 props got my fingers a few times, it didn't leave a mark. It is scary though.
AWESOME! Extremely useful tips! This take off technique and the battery tip made me insane! Thank you!
Haha! Thanks Alexandre. Glad the tips were helpful, cheers!
Thank You For This Useful Explanation .
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
About 3 of these I knew, but this was an amazing list of things. Can't wait to practice again tomorrow!
Cool! Glad it was helpful.
Thank you so much, keep just got my mini 2 and this video really helped.
Awesome! Best of luck with your Mini 2, it's a great drone!
Out of the millions of Mini 2 things you should know videos, I've learned the most out of this one then anything else. Well done!
Thanks for the kind words Steven! Cheers!
Been flying with my new Mini 2 a few time. Lots to learn. You make it easy. I’ve saved your video and plan on referring back to it a few times. Great job. Thanks!!
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! Best of luck with your Mini 2, cheers!
I've just got mine as well, I've run out of the fly more package a rubber of times. I've learnt just today how to use the high speed fpv turning using both controls. I have built a little low altitude course for it. I'm flying the course in normal now at speed smoothly, next to have the confidence to fly long distance.
Nice info. Thanks SO much for doing this. I learned a few things for sure!!
Thanks for watching! Happy to hear you picked up a few new tricks. Cheers!
Thank you a lot! This is the most beneficial video for those who just got their Dji Mini 2 s and dont know what to do at all!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Literally the video I didn’t even know I needed! Thank you for this!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks very much. I never knew that about the 4:3 photo ratio, and I didn't know about the gimbal extended upper view. Thanks!
