“2% and a mile to go”. This is why I tune in. Wouldn’t expect anything less sir:)

[@bigeyetuna6228]

Exactly!!!

[@lauradeon8345]

FInd my drone really saved your butt there!

[@pallidinyou]

Yeah it did!

[@Winged_Vision]

I find your voice so calming, hello from the UK. Great videos!

He’s the new “ Jim Ladd “ of drones, and even when he crashes he’s mellow, check out his water proof drone videos, Classic

Testing the limits makes an emergency landing inevitable. Recovering the drone with no damage makes it a fantastic adventure. Great job, Dustin! Salute!!!

[@Droneguy-be1fy]

“Hey guys thanks for tuning in” = Coffee and relax!👏🏻👏🏻

[@sptrader6316]

Always the best range tests. I'm glad that you showed the search-rescue process, they are rarely shown on youtube videos, yet we will all need to know how to find our drones when we overdue the range, lose battery power, or have a malfunction. It shows that you always want to land with a few percent battery left, so you can turn on the lights and beeper when you get close.

[@ShamsAzeem]

Man your amazing range tests are the reason I subscribed to you. Love your content haha. I love the excitement to find something you just lost

[@stevedawson1706]

Well if you got to go hiking for your drone you are in paradise. Nice!!

[@mrredMavicair]

Just what we all needed Dustin ( a nail biter ! ) It was really enjoyable to watch it all unfolding 👍, Cheers

[@BigAlFPV17]

I was definitely on the edge of my seat. Really glad you found it. Thank goodness for the technology to where you can find it. Excellent video Dustin & looking forward to the next one 😊

[@willproduction2138]

Awesome vid! Thats a crazy close call. Well done!

[@LOTODroneGuy]

Another great video. Thanks for all your hard work on them. Much appreciated and hello from Lake of the Ozarks!

[@mrguitman99]

You sir are the Indiana Jones of the drone world. I love it!!! You always push it to the limit...

[@victorthegee2652]

Awesome job locating the" minster" I have 2 reg batts. Plus the 3 grey batts. Great combo. Now it is how i use them black batts. Close proximity, and grey ones for duration flights. Great 🎥 Dustin

[@HptmFrey]

Dude you got balls, playing with those batteries and all. I saw the other video you made where you were testing how far the Mini 2 can go. I got to hand it to you, Dustin. I get shaking knees as soon as that indicator turns orange while I am still in the air and I've never been that far, but you....damn nice. Excellent retrieving op also. 👍👍👍

[@markottone]

Love watching your videos your one of my favorite KZbinrs

[@londonukguy2006]

Good job Dustin! So pleased you got the bad boy back! Keep the videos coming.

[@codydarzinikas3157]

Good stuff man. Im a faithful follower of yours i watch a lot of your stuff but the range tests are always my favorite, as I personally enjoy flying long range. Your vids have helped me decide on which drone I should buy multiple times so thank you kindly and keep up the great work! From PA USA

[@Georgewrigley]

Nice test buddy. Well pushed it! Great to know though Dustin that the find my drone feature works pretty good. Love this little guy, a great all rounder. Looking forward to seeing the next one! Cheers George.

[@raizdesuenos]

One of the best drone vids I have seen.

[@craigburch]

Man, that was fun! Thanks, Dustin! Wild ride!

[@TABB_AUTO]

What a great fly vid and search and rescue. Proper online day out with you pal. Great vids. Keep them coming!! I was proper on the edge of my seat when you were flying back..💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@secondchance6603]

Another edge of your seat videos from Dustin... it's why we tune in!

[@gdhall5311]

I never go below 50% if I fly any distance away. I see that you like to push the quad a lot more than usual, I am glad that you found it. Good job Dustin.

[@markcloudchaser874]

Excellent Job Dustin, that was awesome. I've nearly saved up for this little bad boy. I can't wait. Thanks for the Great Content ☺️👊💯

[@shaheerburney398]

Love your videos Dustin, I love how you risk loosing the drone for the videos. Keep them up

[@StunnaKauai]

That was crazy one Dustin glad it worked out 🤙🏾

[@KenKneknaneek]

WOW Dustin! One of the best videos yet rofl... scared the crap outta me just watching this. I have the original mavic mini, but you know, this range test does give others an idea of just how far these things can go, and for those who just want to fly a kilometer out can most likely do it safely. Also when it wants to land, you have shown how to milk it a little to squeeze a little more out of it. Good job. Happy Flying

[@quentinbush]

Thank you once again for an interesting video. I am pleased to see your drone suffered no damage which just makes the whole exercise worthwhile.

[@Moyersteven1]

That was insane. I was so worried watching that battery drain! Glad you found it. Love the videos.

[@beliyiannis]

The best video search and rescue!! Thanks for the risk you have taken in order for us to see it

[@younhitchborn]

I watch your range tests whenever I feel like a suspense movie with nice scenery.

[@kenronbarnes1351]

I love this video thanks for sharing... that's an amazing little fella, I'm glad you found your mini 2 🙏🏽

[@robertredzich7292]

Even a year later was a pleasure to watch. Even with the find a drone tracking (from experience) they can be hard to spot.

[@steamerjohn9212]

This new Mini 2 owner not only found this very informative but really fun to watch. while you were flying I found your take off point on Google Earth.. Then located the ditch site right away. When you were driving there I was trying to direct you to it, LOL Thanks a bunch.

[@sammygizmo7087]

Wow another gut wrenching range test. Happy you were able to find your drone. Thank you for letting us know the capabilities and limitation of the mini2. Greetings from the Philippines!!! God bless

[@JamalienN]

Returning to the home with the wind with you, I’ve always found pushing the stick forward in RTH mode is the most efficient method

[@jaredjames7990]

Wow great review, i have the mini 1 and love it. Been the best drone I've had so far, hope i never have to use the find my drone setting but glad it's available. Thanks for the wonderful videos and reviews.

[@Sergecalifornia]

Good job !! Great adventure I really enjoy it, the best part was finding your drone.

[@samdorais4160]

Excited to see how the mini 2 battery does!

[@mnk3181]

my hands are still shaking from stress after watch this video woooow that was very coooool great job bro

[@OSUCherokee1]

I love these nail-biting moments on Maui.

[@bamtazbam]

Thanks much for your very informative videos Dustin...You certainly cover everything...You're the reason why I chose the mavic 2...I feel that by watching your videos, I knew how to operate the drone before I even purchased it...thanks again.

[@Twobarpsi]

Love these range test videos!

[@theblade66]

What a great video, I'm glad you located it

[@bmulli12]

Fantastic video, thank you sir. My MINI 2 arrives soon and looking forward to it

[@TriniWeekes]

Amazing work man!!

[@tomminella6036]

Excellent video bro 5 stars for it , totally enjoyed. Been there done that , i know ur feeling.

[@691tommyc]

search and rescue was worth watching. Thanks.

[@solmantx]

Thanks for the demonstration. Llosing and searching for the drone made for some interesting drama. Thanks for pushing the limits.

[@ARFilms2]

Oh, I did enjoy this video but it stressed me to. Nearly happened to me the other day but I got it back just in time. I am new to this and didn't realise you can find it after it lands, Invalueable video. Thanks.

[@RvAHax]

Awesome video. Great explanation about how to find your little buddy back. Thanks! Greetings from Holland.

[@josh_ful]

I love these drone videos 😊

[@lifesastage215]

Yep this vid definitely made me subscribe. I need to see more of these!

[@itgoesup3975]

Omg your videos give me anxiety by proxy 😂 I just got a new mini 2 in so this is good to know. Thanks Dustin!!

[@phaZe0]

Haha fun to see the search and rescue. Makes me less nervous about losing one

[@KardosoMedia]

Instant click when I see a range test from you...Plus Maui is beautiful and one of my favourite places.

[@JayOne44]

Tuned or optimized for stock battery...I really enjoy your vids.

[@EKennyMF]

The place you tested these is freaking gorgeous. I can't wait to get my mini 2 and show off some of the beautiful places in VT. Your nuts for going so far, but I am loving the range of these drones now. Almost every high quality drone these days one CAN go further than you should.

[@michaeljorcutt3142]

Awesome find. I’ve been watching you for years. Subscribed

[@WindsweptRobert]

It may seem like years, but the channel has only been active for about 10 months lol!

[@yvessevigny]

Great video. Thanks Dustin. From Canada.

[@denkn]

This is a great learning video Dustin... I admire those flip-flops ! ! !

[@MVMTV4Videos]

Once again well done Dustin

[@UKBUBBLERS]

Love the video you do take risks but all in all could for the mini 2 community because we can be more aware qnd know our limits look forward to see how the original battery does keep up the good work 😁

[@clix2219]

I love these range flight test cheers bro. Also do other drones like the mavic air 2s or pro if you haven't

[@captlarry-3525]

had a little trouble finding this.. but want to see the test result. Dustin, I enjoy your thorough videos, and checking the limits of performance. Wind is the wild card in the range test, but not so much in duration. This is true of real airplanes as well... we learn to work with averages an keep track as we fly, and I am learning from your videos, that drones are no different.

[@chrisrichardson4632]

Really enjoyed the “search and rescue “, thanks.

[@DJSpinny]

Love the fact you landed it just of Gnarly road. Gnarliest flight I've seen

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

Found! Using Flip Flops and a Four x Four! Wow! The suspense was freakin intense! When I heard the chickens clucking I was thinking “NO! watch out for the pissed off pineapple farmer!!!” Good recovery, Justin! Seriously, this video had me on the edge of my seat! Peace & love, my Jedi brother ✌🏼 🤟🏼

[@cantipop]

Nice video. More interesting when battery is not enough to get home, than the videoclip when you return with enough battery.

[@reddeviluk]

Balls of Steel. Love your videos (from the UK).

[@torontorc4637]

Awesome video man 👍🏻

[@paulwatson5030]

Another great video Dustin. Thanks to you and one or two others on here, I've bought one! Loving it! BTW - Did you see the Facebook post about the Mini found on the ocean floor off Waikiki beach?

[@carlospopovich]

Glad you found it!🙂

[@cyberfox981]

Excellent video! Very well presented, rescue operation included =) I can't help myself not to say this terrain look perfect for hiking, small game hunting, camping or whatever kind of outdoor activity.

[@FastSloW-qt8xf]

Today I did 5.5 km out and back. This mini 2 still impresses me everytime. The battery is the limiting factor. At 5.5km out i had perfect reception

[@jayesh5131]

11kms right? That's impressive considering the size and weight of mini 2

[@Mr_big_foot]

wow that was scary and awesome. Thanks for doing this range test. I have the mini 2 but I do not have the newer batteries for it yet. I recently sold my mini 1 but I kept two of the three batteries, so its good to know how far I can fly the mini 2 with a mini 1 battery.

[@KilozMedia]

Congratulations on finding it 👏🏽

[@scottcol23]

If you tap the battery status meter with your finger it will open a menu that will show you the time remaining until RTH, and the time remaining until Forced landing will occur. It also shows time until battery depletion once forced landing is in progress.

[@thomascourtney8756]

Hi Dustin . I got a DJI Mavic2 1 Day ago not flown it as yet .. Loving Your Videos .. Happy for you got your drone back O.K. Tommy UK 😊👍✨

[@sk72]

Nice drone recovery in the end!👍

[@RidingHumboldtCounty]

Awesome thanks I just got the mavic mini and I love it

[@WindsweptRobert]

These little drones are almost beyond belief :)

[@DadRandom]

Calm and calculated demeanor. Wait till you lose a FPV quad. No gps. All visual search. You will lose your mind. Great 😊 video as always.

[@DustinDunnill]

I hear you. Lost a couple of FPV racers also. One I was on vacation on the mainland.. hours of searching into the night and never found it 😂🍻

[@SkylineMedia1040]

Nothing like a little drone drama to get us through the day, great video..

[@whitham1961]

"Where are you, are you mad at me?" Love it.

[@marcol.6950]

Klasse Video. Der beste Tester auf der Welt. Ich habe alle Videos von Dir gesehen. (Great video. The best tester in the world. I've seen all of your videos.) Greetings from Germany

[@jeromegorman5494]

Best video l have seen all year long great job.....

[@dadabooey]

Cool search and rescue!

[@craigwflys]

That was very interesting. From what I've heard about Lipos is that once they get low the drop off it much quicker than the Lions so I'm not sure if you're going to have better results towards the end but I'll keep watching 👍

[@seafood459]

Awesome, glad you got the bugger back. We want more Disco videos!! 😋

[@fishingandflyingwithtolley459]

Wow that's a great video of range test and recovery

[@rashmirambk28]

Awesome this is the 1st time I'm seeing your drone getting landed a mile away.

[@startaylor123]

Excellent vlog and recovery 👍 🍾

[@HBXWILL]

Nice Flight👍🏼 question are you recording with a mic? Audio is super clear. Enjoying watching thanks

[@jerryrivera7704]

Yea I'm recording with a mic

[@RejeanDrouin]

Vraiment bon merci pour les bons vidéos

[@AquaTech225]

Still amazed at tech cheaper consumer grade drones can go distances wise ect that tech has came so far along to be able to do this in general

[@thelifechannel8909]

What a thriller and great ending. By the way I noticed the height @ landing around -115 ft due to elevation difference between take off point & landing point. So if someone lives at the bottom of the hill and they are sending drone up the hill, they may want to set RTH height and adjust for uphill terrain elevation.

[@SLOPPY1001]

Once again, thrilling mavic mini range test. At 45% I went for the toilet roll. Thanks for another great video.

[@marvfear]

looked great on my big screen monitor .. Great show mate. Cheers Merv Australia

[@WindsweptRobert]

Thanks, Marv. The screen doesn't show the absolute reality though - the strobes are clearer and brighter in reality than they look on the screen :)

[@billsomrak]

You definitely have the most exciting "range tests" ... I've seen some of the guys who do this regularly have to ditch, but it was cool to watch you track down your UAV. I'm wondering if that "find my drone" feature is a part of the DJI App, or a separate app? Anyway, glad you got it back. I think there will likely be more

[@DustinDunnill]

Yes it's built in feature of the Dji Fly App. "horse$#!*" is right!
