Thanks Ian, really good vid for starters. And don't forget people if it is your first drone it is now 2021 and those regs Ian mentioned are in force now. So before you get the mini 2 out of the box, get your operator and flyer IDs sorted out on the Internet. Ian has done a vid previously to show how you do that - check it out, its fairly simple. If you get a tap on the shoulder, you may need these bits of paper - unlikely but should it happen, its not the greatest starter experience without them I guess.

No insurance,My fault. 6 months later, after watching hours of U-tube about different drones. I was thinking of buying a Air 2S. I will buy a Mini 2 combo here in Palm Beach Queensland Australia . Cheaper and small. Thanks for your help. Stay safe and fly like a bird. Chris

No, it's not faulty; it's telling your the modes (T is Take-Off) - I'm guessing you're using the auto-take off button to take off? If you want to see more info, watch this video and read the data... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHW0pIOLnsyXaJo That will tell you if you have any connection issues....

Great vid on Mavic mini thank you Ian I enjoy . At present am on the CofC course for my Mavic Air , But thinking about purchase the MM 2 . This spring . Only thing am worried is the low weight . And how it cope in windy conditions.. the Mavic Air is first class in these conditions....

Brilliant video, Ian - this will certainly be recommended to anyone I know who plans to join the drone community. One minor tease. With the launch of the DJI FPV drone, Ocusync 3.0 debuted. Although largely untested, it boasts a 2 Km range increase and should be the best radio link available...

Great video Ian and thanks for posting but one very important aspect or feature you didn't mention is the ability to change the stick mode from mode 2 to mode 1. I learned to fly in Australia where most pilots fly in mode 1 (Throttle stick on the right). I know the ability to do it is available because I've seen people flying in mode 1 so you may want to include that in your next video.

@IaninLondon 3 жыл бұрын
You are literally the first person I've ever had mention about wanting to swap stick modes! :) I didn't realise Oz favoured mode 1; I'll defo mention that, but it's available on all DJI models (just never known anyone ever change them :) )

Good video, Ian. Sorry if it's been asked before, but are the Mavic Mini batteries compatible with the Mini 2?
@IaninLondon
@IaninLondon 3 жыл бұрын
Mini 2 can use Mini 1 batteries but you don't get the same power and the weight pushes it over 250gms. Personally I'd get the combo....

Good evening sir, is MM compatible with Smart Controller.. DJI Mini 2’s image transmission system is particularly impressive as it has been upgraded to OcuSync 2.0

I don't believe either Mini is compatible with the smart controller. If and whenever it would be the Mini 2 then only.

Hi Ian, I've just received my DJI Mini 2 and I've watched your unboxing video. There is just one thing that I'm not sure of. For the charging hub to work as a power bank, do you need to insert one of the drones batteries of does the hub have its own internal battery? Regards Terence
