17 MUST KNOW DJI Mini 2 Tips & Settings | DansTube.TV

[@DansTubeTV]

🚀 DRONE DEALS 🚀 Buy DJI Mini 2 from Amazon: amzn.to/2Ieu9M5 or DJI: click.dji.com/ACf7x81j4WMhgWWNU2HZ_g?pm=link

[@Stevesmith-yw7cr]

The first thing any Mini 2 drone owner should do is remove the stickers from the motor arms. They are extra weight and the ends are loose so they probably will affect the aerodynamics of the drone. Good video. Thanks!

[@DansTubeTV]

Great point 😂 Thanks for watching 👀

[@andypettit5869]

Exactly, I am a newbie, that was the first thing I did.... Do not need stickers.

[@Bossnardy]

extra weight? how about the propeller guard 🥵

[@zjoozjoo]

and also add a sticker, with your pilot ID

[@Draega007]

Having the grid lines on also allows you to fly between tight objects with more confidence.

[@DansTubeTV]

Definitely! Great point 👍

[@robbenmitchell7949]

I saved this for future reference being day two of flying. Great reference vid, well done. The mini 2 is such a fascinating device. I found myself being a bit nervous yet excited flying it. I love new experiences like this. Simple yet a bit complicated.

[@DansTubeTV]

Definitely, flying a drone is a delicate balance between confidence and caution ⚠️ I’m releasing a drone course in the coming weeks to help fearful pilots become fearless. It might be the perfect companion course for your early drone journey.

[@stevehassan4987]

Hi hope you can help I'm new to dji mini 2. There is no voice saying home point has been updated. Is there a setting for sound. Thank you in advance.

[@DansTubeTV]

You might need to make sure that sound is enabled through your phones settings and your phone is not on mute 🔕

[@peteskyrunner4845]

Number 2 tip is great too. Even before I watch the rest of the video I'm going to subscribe. Done.

[@DansTubeTV]

Thank you! ⭐️

[@GenuineArticle71]

@ 2:12 -i have the latest version of DJI Fly. Is the compass no longer there? I watched this video and don't see that feature on the screen. -(Wait, modifying this comment. Is this info now in the "Attitude indicator" with the mapping? )

[@DansTubeTV]

Good question, I’ll have to look into this when I fly the Mini 2 again 🚀 I believe that the compass was removed from the flight screen ✈️

[@thomasberg8810]

Thank you. That video was a great help to me.

[@DansTubeTV]

I’m glad that I could help, my drone course has everything else that you’ll need to know: www.fearlessdrone.academy 👈

[@SeaniusShows]

nice video although the settings have changed a little - you can configure fn button for single or double tap. its handy for switching between FPV and follow mode. one thing - in the map section it mentions that the map shows the location of the pilot. But this is not the pilot - it is the previously saved home location. Important to remember if you’re walking about while flying …

[@DansTubeTV]

Definitely! Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it.

[@johnjaconsky4488]

I have a mini 2 I don’t seem to have a compass icon in the center bottom like you do Is there any thing I need to activate ? Thanks

[@DansTubeTV]

I believe that this feature was removed in a firmware update. I don’t know why 🤷‍♂️

[@tonyfontana4326]

Hi can you help please? I have a mini two , and two battery lights are on and a red light on the drone I can’t get it to go green

[@DansTubeTV]

Red lights on the arms is normal. Red lights on the battery is not good, look through the battery info ℹ️ on the app. Make sure that you charge the batteries completely and try taking the drone off and seeing if the lights on the arms change.

[@Quebecmedic0750]

Charging phone on android work , I don't remember if I add to turn it on but my phone ( s20) dose charge wile flying

On Android, charging automatically happens. It is only on iOS devices that you have to enable charging each time 🔋

You can still use RTH on a WI-FI only iPad. It is all built into the drone technology 🚀🏠

[@philipcoccioletti]

any preferences of the DJI Mini2 over the EXO Cinemaster2 ?

[@DansTubeTV]

I haven’t used the EXO so I can’t comment. The Mini 2 is an awesome drone, Litchi just made it possible for pilots to plan waypoints and use following modes with the Mini 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ-aeZeofNqcr6c

[@panasonicultra]

if i lost the drone 3 miles away how can i find.t in map witch way have to travel

[@DansTubeTV]

Keep your drone in line of sight and you never have to worry about this. You can view the location of your drone through the map -> find my drone.

[@flatlandrory]

I'm missing the compass in the middle of the screen. Has an update removed it or is there an option to toggle it on and off?

[@jasonlara]

Great video. I wish I could mess around with the settings without connecting everything (controller and drone.) Am I missing something? I would like to just launch the app and see these adjustments, but nothing shows up unless I'm connected to the thing.

[@DansTubeTV]

Unfortunately, you need to have the drone and controller setup with your phone connected if you want to tweak settings.

[@jasonlara]

@@DansTubeTV That's what I figured. I just got mine, so my experience should get better. I also can never Take Off where I live. It's so frustrating to ask permission (sometimes via website) EVERY time I try to fly. My other RC stuff I just plugged in a battery and flew. This is a bit too much control on their part IMO.

[@col.dphotography6381]

Any chance on a tip on how to get the best quality uploading footage to facebook?

[@DansTubeTV]

Uploading a raw video from the drones micro sd straight onto Facebook would be your best bet. If you need to edit some footage then try to keep the footage as uncompressed as possible. Facebook will compress the video again once you upload so the rawer, the better 🦁

[@Mrthezanax]

Hi!!!!! I just bought mini 2 combo and before my first flight, I watched many videos about ''advanced gimball settings''. I dont know if it's a dumb question, but I''ll take the risk. So, in your cinemode settings in ''advanced gimball settings I see this menu: for examble ''spitch speed 15''. In my menu everything is in this way. '' pitch speed 15°/s or yaw speed 30°/s. Is this the same or I'm doing something wrong??? 🤔

[@DansTubeTV]

That does sound different, it has something to do with the measurements in your settings. Look through your settings to change this, or go to Google and convert the measurements into something that you understand?

[@Mrthezanax]

@@DansTubeTV Thank you very much for your quick reply. I searched for settings that change this "problem", but I did not find anything. I saw in other videos, users of the mini 2 have the same features as me. So I came to the conclusion that this is probably a functional issue of dji software. My version is 1.4.2. The same version had '' Ian in London'' also in degrees like me. Thanks again!!!! 👌😊

[@TimE-bc9ez]

I don't have the compass on the bottom middle of my screen, nor can I find an option to get it there??? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

[@mclovin9151]

My only complaint about the mini 2 is that they didn’t make the controller with screen with the mini 2. I’ve been using my drone non stop the past week, I’ve got like 68 flights after having this thing for only a couple weeks. And guess what, my time is spent half flying and half figuring out how to charge my dang phone and drone batteries at the same time. I guess I need a second fast charger but dang this DJI app drains your battery so fast,

Yes! The DJI Fly app can definitely drain your phone battery. You can enable the phone charging setting (iOS) and Android charges your phone by default.

[@bashkillszombies]

Just be aware Find My Drone will NEVER work when you crash, every major crash I've had the GPS claimed it was MILES from where it was. And start flashing and beeping doesn't work when the drone is off / inverted etc too. I suggest putting an Apple Airtag or Tile on your drone if you want to be able to recover it, the onboard recovery system is unreliable at best, dismal at worst.

[@DansTubeTV]

Ahhh, good advice. I’ve mounted an AirTag to my previous drones but I’ll have to do the same for my Mavic 3 🚀

[@craig83cg]

Be aware that doing this will (depending on the weight of the tag) take your drone over 250 grams which may require you to obtain different drone registration 'permits' /licences depending on what country your in.

Tap bottom left, maybe

[@mclovin9151]

The only limiting factor to this drone is the fact it uses your phone as a screen. When I’m using my drone I don’t want my super capable phone incapable of anything but being used as a screen. It drains the phone battery so fast. Also, the controller to phone charging option is not that great. It doesn’t necessarily charge your phone it just trickles a charge. I found that a full controller battery is capable of charging your phone about 30%

[@DansTubeTV]

I’ve never had major issues using my phone as the display. I would suggest the new DJI RC but it is only available for Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3.

Upward gimbal rotation: I have no idea WHY hasn't the manufacturer made as a default thing. What on Earth is the reason to NOT have that?!?!
