dji mini 2 long range and lose the drone in the sea after reaching 5000m never came back

[@MrRaymond1021]

RULE # 1. NEVER EVER do range test over WATER. RULE # 2. ALWAYS Look for wind direction. RULE # 3. Whenever in trouble NEVER RAISE the drone. (wind is stronger the higher you go) There's more, but those are my first thoughts for flying drones. Really sad video, but thanks for sharing. We learn from our mistakes, remember that.

A higher altitude can help with forced landing as it gives you more "slant range".

[@The_Romi_Studio]

One golden rule. In a range test always fly out with a headwind and return with a tailwind.

[@TheJedi]

You have to watch carefully. When the drone gave you the high wind warning if you notice the camera dipped because the drone already sped up on its own. And you still had 10 minutes of flight time you should have left it alone and not gone into sport. Because the moment you went to sport mode your flight time went down to 4 minutes. You weren't in danger of not making it back. So the two mistakes you made were going into sport mode and raising the altitude. Because raising the altitude probably caused you even more wind resistance.

[@universal7564]

This!

[@jeremyboyce1537]

Yeah ! You are right , I was also wondering why he did that !!!!

[@joshunboxing3332]

98% of persons who lose a dji drone canceled return to home

[@Joshua5654]

With the same logic 98% of people press cancel return to home and still make it back manually

[@JeoffreySamsonCasiñoVlog-rl9zg]

Thats your fault my friend...

[@terryshrives8322]

Never raise up when fighting the wind, there’s more wind the higher you go. Drone 101. It might have made it back had you of lowered the drone.

[@sptrader6316]

Always fly Into the wind, never over water without experience, stay high for better signal, stay low for less wind. Sport mode uses up the battery a little sooner. Always start with 100% battery.

[@JasonYung-k7u]

Oh my God I feel bad for you lost in that drone. You know what I'll help you out. I just subscribed 😊

[@BrokerJoSantillan]

Lost a drone. Just like that. Sorry drone.

[@dakundi]

Nice Video❤

[@jessicabrown9985]

Never bring it back in sport mode unless you less than 500m. Next time use return to home as soon as you turn around So you can get the most accurate route back to land. Remember the last 10% of battery 🪫 the drone power will reduce by half so even the slightest wind 🌬 will drift the drone away or sometimes cuz the drone to stop moving even if your pushing on the forward-stick

[@blue_canyon]

How much experience do you have with DJI drones? You might have made it back if you had pushed up on the left stick for a while at the end. Or maybe you wanted to lose it? In which case, you could have donated it.

[@xenonsky]

I did that test before but this time the wind betrayed me

[@Full_On-i2q]

Why did you haven't promptly cancel the forced landing? The battery had still 1 minute of fly, and if you switch in normal mode, probably was 2 minutes or more (voltage raise switching low consmpt) for flown at 2m hight and maybe save it

[@xenonsky]

I remember seeing this video 2 years ago. It did not stop me doing a range test over the sea though. I did 5k with my mini 2 but the weather conditions were ideal. Of course into a 12k/h wind heading out and the same wind pushing the mini 2 back to base on its return. I always turn back the drone with well over 50% left in the battery. The advantage of doing a rather risky test range over the sea is the absence of interferences with the signal.

[@DRONE-GTA]

不能上升嗎？為何不在陸地測試？

[@tobiasetter4538]

Your mistake was to come back in sport mode, which requires a lot of electricity. Also, you could have pushed the drone up for about 50 seconds before it went into the water

[@vexunaerials7185]

bye little one. That was an epic flight. Alteast you were able to record it. I did alot of range test but kept my flight in normal mode.

[@DroneMaranguape]

Quer vender o resto do material?

[@joshunboxing3332]

You could have pushed up and still maintain the altitude and the speed even at such low battery percentage. the was a possibility that it could have been saved because even at 0 percent it gives you about 3mins extra. i saw you made a lot of mistakes in this one but hopefully you can do your research and you've learnt from this

[@xenonsky]

believe me i learned a lot. Thanks for comment

[@stevenrobinsonpictures]

I think he did this in a more recent video. Even at 0 percent it kept going for a few minutes. This is good to know.

[@jurijokorn1283]

at 0% the battery is at 3.5v, you can probably fly another 1/3 of the time you were out flying. It's just that anything after 0% you WILL damage your battery

[@rokon1753]

That’s really disappointing man. Sorry to see that and a good learning lesson for me. Hope you get another one soon.

[@xenonsky]

Hey thanks for coment fate already knew 🤣🤣

[@Maynards_so_blue]

Why did you keep raising altitude on the way back? That was your main issue, the drone even told you to drop altitude

[@dronevids1611]

That's tragic! You should stay lower than 10M but instead you went up high as 68M that made your speed to almost zero. That move drains your battery because of strong winds at that altitude.

[@The_Romi_Studio]

You flew with a tailwind and returned with a strong headwind. Or should I say tried to return.

[@piplawrence2981]

You learn by your mistakes. Always fly back no less than 60% battery to be on the safe side.

[@RichardSzorad]

[@gloraimasierra8521]

Good video

[@JamesMorgan-et2lb]

Sorry you lost it. It's best to keep it in normal mode, and lower your altitude. When battery is critically low you can still push forward (even when the battery shows to be 0%). You might have made it.

[@christianmong-hansen1835]

You also coud angle it more aideways toward land to gain better speed and less forward wind, this can also help get it to the shore, always check your compass to check wind angle

[@christianmong-hansen1835]

You coud have avoid this only by going mabye little more to the right....

[@DESTINYFPV]

Anyone who range tests over water and deliberately cancels return to home might as well just go ahead and order another drone cause this one will be at the bottom of the sea.

Lowering altitudes would give you chance raise altitudes you just give no chance

[@montezchaseparker]

Please never ignore the directions from the controller 🐦 💧

[@madanismail1]

Never trust water as the inertial system doesn't perform on water the same way it does on solid ground along with the sensor used for the ground landing, you need to make sure you're higher than 50 m to be safe, and alwYs make sure the RTH is the setting for list connectoo ,never ever hovering or you will lose your drone, home landing should also be updated as if you move while flying your drone, your drone should be updated on the new home landing spot, use sport mode if you're manually overtaking control to return home or evade some area withn threatening birds, and finally calibrate all your stuff, all, and also fly with gps never without, and do check your settings before you fly, thnx for sharing.

[@abdulmutaib8601]

[@DouglasLippert]

You killed the drone by gaining altitude on the return trip, (stronger winds). lol..

[@flyv3rse753]

Amigo la próxima vez tienes que tener más paciencia y dejarlo en Normal Mode y bajar la altitud. También prestar atención a cuanta batería tienes.

WHY did you do a range test over the sea 1. its illegal to fly beyond vlos 2. you might lose your drone 3. its a dangerous and also illegal 4. your dji care refresh will not cover damages to my knowing. edit: battery voltage matters more then the % some people report flying at 0% for very long times but some people say its false, its depends. on your battery VOLTAGE. always check voltage if it seems like your battery is dying quicker. at 7 volts *for both cells* the drone will force land. also always trust the RTH when over water

[@tobiasetter4538]

It's not illegal to fly over water everywhere, but he could have really pushed the drone up even at 0 percent

[@basretie5179]

because you did not understand the lower altitude means to resume the signals and that is your mistake. You have to trust your GPS signals what they say. My drone is DJI Mini 3, I experienced that but my drone coming back to me because I monitoring the battery level. when I get 50 to 45 percent of battery level I go back immediately to home base and I select sport mode and I guide my drone to go back immediately to be safe. its okey, Just learned by your mistake !! Have a Great day Bro.

[@thomasmaughan4798]

Sport mode drains the battery much faster; so the increase in speed probably does not overcome the shorter battery life.

[@alfredojohannes6827]

Dude, you literally did almost EVERYTHING you could to ensure you lost that drone. Went out with the wind .. Failed to turn around at recommendation and absolute worst of all ignored the recommendation to lower altitude. Not only were you flying into the wind but you raising altitude into higher headwinds. Not trying to pile on but you clearly had no business trying a range test without basic understanding of conditions/ limitations.
