DJI Mini 2 - Everything You Need to Know

[@spondulixtanstaafl7887]

Flew my Mini 2 for the first time yesterday, and the wind was blowing probably 15 knots, cannot believe the stability it exhibited. So easy to fly! For a gamer like myself the controls mimic standard console controls very closely so it was a very easy transition. Now just need to tighten my flying and filming skills. Thanks Aldrin! your videos have been very helpful.

[@JPMongeS]

There is something I hate about other channels, they are like: "I got the new DJI Mini 2, it is small but that's all I will tell you for now, a more extensive review will be shared in the future." And that way they turn the first video into clickbait and keep you waiting for the second video in order to get full information about the gear being reviewed (the drone in this case.) That is exactly where you excelled, you provided all the information straight forward and to the point, didn't rush a bit and included footage for pretty much everything you were explaining. I wish that all gear reviews were like this instead of click-baiting with titles and thumbnails. Great video man!, thanks for taking your time to have this done this well.

I was on the fence before but The noise reduction sold it for me. The original mini is not that loud but its pitch and noise profile made it sound really annoying and louder than it actually is. I also appreciate the USB type C and backwards battery compatibility.

[@sandgaijin]

I just picked this bad boy up. It's my first drone ever and I'm trying to build up my confidence still in flying. Trusting myself that the battery won't die mid flight and that I've flown too high or far. I love it so much!

The noise you hear from a drone comes from the props, not the bearings. If ANY bearing makes an audible noise, it’s failure is imminent.

Same. Even with the 2yr warranty. I guess hearing it struggle against the sub 10mph wind is what makes me nervous.

[@abrahamweiss5827]

Get the UAV fly app. After one disaster in a storm I have had the app and it is super useful. So far it has been really accurate and I have flown up to the height limit(a bit past by accident) and it was correct on the low wind. Not saying it is always correct but I have yet to have a problem and you can quickly set the setting for your drone so that it will take everything into account and say if it is safe to fly. A bonus is that it has an interference reading which most weather apps lack.

Subscribed for more updates.

[@ravelez22]

I'm thinking the Mini 1 is still a keeper, for rugged/risky travel or activities including storage/travel conditions where LiIon batteries are more friendly towards temperature extremes vs LiPo.

[@DisticTV]

It can do almost as much as the second if you use the litchi app

[@fox0013]

Yup

[@fox0013]

Just upscale a mini 1 to 4k and thats it

[@ionutzcar8158]

but the big difference is the range you can fly it

[@ravelez22]

I wasn’t comparing them. I know the differences, and the great value of the Mini 2. I think it’s amazing. I was only making the case as to why someone would keep the original Mavic Mini around after the 2, versus selling it for what might be unsatisfactory minimal dollars right now, once so many are offered for sale. It seems like the original has great value to keep around for more risky activities, like temperature extremes, salt water operations, camping, or rugged hiking. It is still also an amazing machine in itself, despite some reasonable compromises in resolution (it still takes beautiful video/pics for what it is), distance and wind resistance. On the other side, if you are a buyer of a used original Mini, and get a reasonable deal, what a great start on a device that is STILL very attractive and very capable!

On the other hand the Gopro stabilization technology is at its best and going to get even better in the future.

@@zero00tolerance The hypersmooth on the hero9 is definitely worth it but if you are using the osmo pocket and have been liking it you might just want to upgrade that since the 3 axis stabilization. It depends if you are wanting to do anything with 5K video(and many other better features depends on how much you want to spend) and stuff in water since gopros are waterproof, but if I were you Id get the gopro hands down since the battery life is so amazing and if you get the packages and accessories I got you will get 3 batteries which is up to 3-6hours of recording time in one charge (depending on what resolution you are shooting on at that time). If you want me to let you know the accessoires and deal I got from the gopro store I can help you out with that too (the deal ends in the next week or two before it goes up again by $250 so if you want to know and buy it you should do it asap).
