DJI Mini 2 Flight Over the Boise River

[@clickphotography9422]

You've always got the great spots to fly your drone at! It's very relaxing watching your mini 2 footage on the river!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I know that I'm lucky to have some great places to fly.

[@SuperNova-py1ec]

Great seeing the mini 2, always like the bonus footage. Plenty of old leaning trees to negotiate.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It was a fun flight!

[@upndown-traveling]

Super video 👊👍👍👍 like175# 😎 Really cool location! And some really creative shots and great colours 👍 keep up the good work, best regards Up'n'Down-Traveling

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! It's always fun to find new places to fly!

[@bartkupp6351]

I'm so happy with the update they had on the RTH function! It just made flying the mini2 even easier and more satisfying

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree. I wonder why they don't incorporate that feature on the Air 2S? You cannot yaw on RTH with it.

[@charlieridgway6576]

Thanks for showing the area Marcus, I learn more about Boise every time you post a new video.🙂

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's my pleasure Charlie! Thank you!

[@sammygizmo7087]

Really enjoy watching your flight as always. Thank you Marcus!!! Take care

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Sammy! 👍👍

[@flippincrazycars]

Another great flying location! We did enjoy it thanks Marcus👍🏻

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! It was a nice spot to fly!

[@spiderwaui]

dji mini 2 is a great drone for enthusiasts. even great for shooting landscapes and posting in yt. can't wait for this pandemic is over here in philippines so i can get one and use it for our family travel adventures.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree Christopher. The little Mini 2 is amazing.

[@lacy8658]

If we are to talk about portability on drones, the Mini 2 would always be the standard. Nothing just compares to this one!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, the Mini 2 is the king of the Minis. 👍

[@RonaldBrown59]

Nice flight, I love the new location down at the river. And looks like you had some nice weather out there.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It was a really nice day Ron. Thank you for stopping by!

[@shaunthedrone]

Lovely day to fly the Mini 2 Marcus - you have better weather than us at the moment - many thanks for sharing :)

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Many thanks Shaun! the Mini 2 is just plain fun!

[@JSKenterprise]

Nice flight. Thanks for showing what the mini to can do.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! The little Mini 2 is just so darn much fun!

[@DroneDaysgr]

Now that's a Drone that i have as well and the footage coming from this drone AMAZING 🤩 No Mini Drone can compare to this DJI Mini 2..... Lovely video that i really enjoyed...

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree! The Mini 2 is great!

[@paulwood7798]

As critical as I am on DJI and how they drip feed tech that has been around a fair while for maximum profit this Mini 2 is the bench mark for all drones in this class.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

No question. The Mini 2 is the king of the Minis.

[@oldmanronerickson2221]

Hey buddy the mini 2 has more people interested then the new 2s or whatever it is. The following for the mini 2 is huge and most of us newbies can afford the little guy. So I feel the more information you can post on the mini 2 or even flights you will find more followers. I like all your posts you do great. For an old guy anyway, I'm 73 and the mini2 is my first and only drone. I'll never waste over a $1,000.00 on a drone. But if I lose the little mini 2 I'll get another on for sure. For the price of the new drone I could buy three mini 2's. Watch you step and keep that mini 2 in the air for us. On my way to Florida right now. But someday we will be in your neck of the woods.😃😃❤❤

[@diverm2371]

I second that.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree Aaron. These Dji Minis make this hobby very accessible for a wide range of folks. I make more Mini videos than any other drone I own. 👍

[@SuperNova-py1ec]

I agree Aaron. Hey Marcus, maybe the original mini could get a day out? 😀

[@pja9421]

Fun video Marcus. Thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@BOKI797]

Idaho QuadCopter that was a really Great Video ! You always do a Great job also ! Thanks for the Nice Video ! Your Great ! Oh nobody talks about the Mini 2 anymore & that's all I have & can afford anyway right now !

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much! I'll keep making Mini 2 videos. It's an awesome little drone!

[@rpguy4]

Nice job. Enjoyed the tour and commentary.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Awesome, thank you very much!

[@erikhilsinger9421]

The dredge ponds let them wash the gravel and sequester the silt component to keep it from blowing around as air pollution. Then they can use revegetation mix by hydroseeding over the ponds once they are done. Nice video of Boise area!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much for that explanation Erik! I knew there had to be a reason for it.

[@rickracine9758]

GREAT footage Macus Mini 2 # 1 ,im so glad you and many others still promote the Mini 2 cause i just love the mini's series ;

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You'll get no argument from me. The Mini's are awesome.

[@gebiena10]

Again a great video, love to watch them, keep up the good work👍take care and stay healthy

Thank you very much Arnold! I really enjoy putting these videos together.

[@jackmuraguri1836]

You always have very clean videos on Auto and I wonder why one even needs ND filters. Thanks for sharing Marcus

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! The reason for ND filters is to slow the shutter speed on the camera to induce motion blur into moving objects. A polarizing filter will reduce glare. Often people do use filters without really understanding their purpose.

[@jackmuraguri1836]

@@IdahoQuadcopter But you don't use any and your videos are always perfect. I Think if one gets a day that is not too dark and too bright, then he is ready to go without ND Filters

[@gbower1]

Nice flight and I want to start getting brave enough to fly lower like you did. We have some nice rivers to do that on. If I get a nice day this week I might give it a go.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's a little nerve wracking Gerry, but the Mini 2 makes it easy.

[@delzane]

Good job!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Del! I had a lot of fun that day.

[@mikehrenak1390]

Im thinking about getting a mini

[@jeremyboyce1537]

Nice one mate looking good there great flying really nice info don 🤠🇬🇧👍👍👍👍💜💯

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much Don!

[@dougbell5950]

Was a little worried about your height above the river half way through the Vid. But, you were aware of the potential issues, so good for you. I've had 2 bad experiences with water but was able to save it each time. 😲 Also, I think you need a bigger pad🤣🤣 AND, surprise Bonus Footage❗❗❗ Looks like a nice little trail there. Hey, thanks for sharing your time Marcus. Be safe.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Doug! I have to tell you, that DJI Mini 2 gives me a lot of confidence. It's so precise, and predictable.

[@DroneViewsMedia]

More beautiful footage with the Mini 2, as decent as the Fimi mini is, this is just superior in every way

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree, the DJI Mini 2 is the king of the Minis.

[@timothyfrederickchurch81]

Great video, I flew at the ocean today.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Timothy, I hope you had a great flight!

[@shewolf5155]

Hi I like your videos very much when you take you dji mini 2 for flights. I would just like to know something. Here in South Africa we are only allowed to fly at a maximim hight of 45 meters and the maximum distance is 200 meters, which means you need to keep the drone at all times in sight even if it has a camera and weights 250 grams. Now my question is, at what height should I put my dji mini 2 drones returning distance ?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Wow, your drone laws are very restrictive! I like to set a high Return To Home height. I would suggest your maximum of 45 meters. Thank you!

[@BaqPaqJaq]

Great flying along the river Marcus! You’d be fine with the DJI FPV!!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Maybe one day Jackie! You never know!

[@GulfCoastTim]

Flight down the river @17:00 was nice.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much! It was a really fun day to fly!

[@voranckkramberger6354]

Hi, i was just wondering, i mean you might already explaind it in some other video, but how can you afford to buy all those amazing drones?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I have an understanding wife. 🙂

[@ryanjonesdronechannel724]

You know, I wonder how the mavic mini 2 compares to the original mavic mini? I have the original myself

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

The Mini two is more powerful, shoots in 4K and has the updated controller.

[@shewolf5155]

Do you ever fish in that river, and what fish did you catch there if do fish there ?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I have not, but I do see a lot of people fishing there.

[@harv3373]

What smartphone or tablet PC do you recommend that I buy to use with the DJI Mini 2 controller? I am ready to buy a DJI Mini 2 but I discovered that my Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro smartphone will not work. I want the device to work good such as with minimum lag and a bright screen etc. It could be an excellent used or refurbished device without phone service and cost less than $200.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

iPhones work the best. The best tablet would be the iPad Mini 5. I hope this helps.

[@robertbdrone6835]

Another great video let’s get this bird in the air

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's a winner! 😁

[@TaniaGail]

Loved the video! Will add this spot to my growing list of places to fly around Boise. Have you seen my latest Short video? I have questions about the MA2S that you may be able to answer.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'll check out you video Tania! Yes, you should check this spot out. As we get past Covid, it would be fun to have a local Idaho drone meetup.

[@mustanghuey89]

Can anyone tell me how to get the new compass layout? I have all the latest firmware, but I still have the compass in the center of the screen. Is there another update that I need?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I suspect that you are still using an older version of the DJI Fly App. If you are on android, you'll need to get the latest version direct from DJI.

[@mustanghuey89]

@@IdahoQuadcopter how do I do that? Just go on wedsite?

Hi Marcus, just had a thought have you tried getting in touch with QC Guy he repairs FIMI drones he might be able to help you with your FIMI X8 MINI. Best Regards.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you John. I took it to a local repair shop. 👍

[@davidellis5135]

Do you get rattlesnakes out there.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, we sure do. They help keep the rodent population down.

[@davidellis5135]

@@IdahoQuadcopter Have You ever seen one. My mother lived out in the country back in the early 1960s, she went to pick up what she thought was a piece of broken cable, it turned out to be 6 inch baby grass adder, it was only a baby, it hissed and spat at her, it was a nasty little sod, she broomed it out of the kitchen door, since then she’s never liked snakes.
