Hey everyone! Thanks for all the great comments! Many of you chimed in that you can in fact use higher resolution in QuickShots while flying by tapping the 3 dot menu button on right top... thank you! I hope DJI will make the option more consistent similar to how you change resolution in the regular video mode screen. Hey if you are ready to get a drone, please consider buying from my links in the description as it will really help to support the work I do on the channel. Aloha, - Dustin & Family

[@johnanthony7988]

Hi Dustin! What screen resolution i will see on my phone from this 4k drone? Plz help and also how can I enhance my resolution on my phone screen? Plz

[@DustinDunnill]

Hey Dustin, I’m trying to decide whether to get the mavic mini 1 or 2. Is the second one really worth the extra money?

For the 4K video and Ocusync 2 technology upgrades.. I think so. Depends on if the better resolution and signal/range quality are something that matters to you 🍻

[@CHRISDITTO1]

Hey, Dustin I purchased my mini 2 drone and combo on Friday. It's now Tuesday and very happy. This is my 4th drone and the best . Mini 2 drone is easy to use and makes good photos and videos . I was interested in Air 2 but price and my 1 year experience, Mini 2 is good for all my drone ✈ flights, it's small, light and good for people retired. I was bored and now have a good hobby. Each day I wake up early, then check the weather. Then I will go flying like an eagle. It doesn't matter what age you are and what you do for entertainment. I say do it, be safe and enjoy life. Thanks to people like yourself, you help people with your experience and knowledge. Dustin, I will keep watching your reviews. Chris from down under, Ozi ✈ ☀

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks mate! Glad you are enjoying the hobby 😊🍻

FYI: You can record in 4k in the Quick Shot modes by going to the top right "three dot" menu and change it back to 4k within there. Hopefully DJI will change that in a future update!?

Fantastic review!! The most complete demo I have seen. You didn’t just go through the standard options. I like the fact that you did “what if I do this” type of thing while in a particular mode. In this one video I learned more than reading the whole manual !! Great work ! 👍

Greetings Hi Dustin, another informative, thorough, technical review. I've had my Mini 1 for a month now, and its brilliant, watching the mini 2, is pleasing to see the advanced updates for those buying there first Drone, they will love it. Having now flown and understanding Drones better, i feel rather than go Mini 2, it gives me confidence to seriously consider my next Drone would be the Mavic 2. The mini is so easy to fly you understandingly feel more confident you could handle the next step of a bigger drone. Watching your reviews, prior to getting the mini, gives us all a huge learning curve advantage to avoid smashing or loosing our new found interest. Thank you keep up the great reviews, Pete, from the Wild Wild West Perth Aus

[@84tomh]

This video is the reason I just purchased this drone over the weekend. I had been researching the mini, was leaning toward it, and Dusty tipped me over the edge with this awesome demo. Had a bit of trouble trying to convince my phone (galaxy s10) that the fly app was safe to use but after that we were good to fly. Awesome little machine

Great video Dustin. Love it we just got the mini2. Speechless how well it handles in wind. Stronger motors as well.

[@mickeymch876]

I had my pro and mini 2 out today with 20 mph sustained winds and gusts over 38 mph. I used to fly RC helicopters and I wouldn't fly in winds over 10, even a 5 mph wind was very noticeable. 20 mph wind, no way I could fly a heli in that kind of wind, much less ever be able to land it again.

[@noahmiller6]

You do a great job at reviewing a product im glad I watched both videos on this drone. Because I've purchased it for myself for Christmas as a starter drone thank you again 😊

[@5ND41K0N]

Not even half way through and this video is already my favorite to understand what this drone can do. Awesome job! Thanks a lot!

[@dochollywood41]

The video is impressive despite the wind jostling the drone around. I'm super anxious. I just picked this same drone up a couple days ago. I have not yet taken it out fly but I'm chomping at the bit. I've been watching your videos to basically get an idea what the drone will do and really how to operate it because, it's my first drone. Nearly everyone I've read, who has this drone, seem to just love it. Keep up with the great videos.

[@BigJokaATL]

Man this drone is AWESOME!!! I caught the Fly More combo in the pawn shop for $300!!! It was in PERFECT condition, and the extras packets with the props & sticks were STILL factory sealed!! And the batteries only had 2 charge cycles on them!! This thing is NICE!!! Great review!!!
