DJI Mini SE Flight at Settlers Park - More Mini 3 Info - Firmware Update 01.02.0000

I always like to promote the goodness of the DJI Mini SE. This little $299 drone punches so far above it's weight class. I also updated the firmware to v01-02-0000 Even on a windy day, the drone did just fine. The leaks are coming hot and heavy for the DJI Mini 3, so I talk about the features that caught my attention.

Looks like you have the hang of it. What a super nice park! Enjoyed the tour very much. TY for sharing.

[@delzane]

Whoa, that Park is much larger than I thought. Great video tour!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for watching Del!

Your videos are great, Marcus. Glad you are flying your Mini SE. nice jacket, hat and shirt 😎

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Capt. Ray! 👍

[@fairoaksguy7040]

Always look forward to your videos and updates. I live in the Sacramento area but we don't have beautiful parks like Meridian.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! Yes, the city parks are important. 👍

[@IdahoMthman]

Awesome little drone. The wind was blowing

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, the little SE is amazing for the price.

[@travismanning798]

Such a cool mini drone! It’s nice to have this option from the mini series but of course I couldn’t help but get all hyped for the Mini 3.

[@terrybartlett5539]

I have had an SE fora couple of months. Great drone! Your videos are very helpful.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I really like the Mini SE.

[@JSKenterprise]

That SE is a nice little drone at a great price. It did well with the slight wind. Thats a big park to have 8 baseball fields. Thanks for sharing Marcus. 👍🏾

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! The city does build a lot of fields.

[@moemaster1966]

Great video..looks like you had fun …mini 3 will be awesome 👏

Hey Marcus!! My little brother Demarco surprised me with a mini se for my birthday and I’m loving it.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh, hey Dennis! DeMarco mentioned that. You'll be buying all kinds of drones now. 😀

Hey love the video. You were brave to fly into the pop-up fly area of those guys batting practice. Every-time I heard the bat 'clink' I was waiting to see a ball wizz by. Ha! I am loving my Mini SE.. Only a few flights under my belt and just uploaded my first viz. I liked and subscribed. Keep up the great work.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for watching!

[@georgekelly1948]

Thanks, Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you George!

[@StrickleeFpv]

I’ve had some heavy winds at beach and the mighty mini se has not failed me yet she handles everything I throw at it I very well could use it for a small workhorse . I find I fly the se more than any of my other drones . Cool video definitely subscribed good job 👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much!

[@harrishuntTV]

DJI Mini series is doing really good. Going to get even better with the upcoming Mini 3 release!

[@MrRaymond1021]

Yeah, those 47 minutes of battery sounds great? Even though it's probably going to make it over 250 G. It really doesn't matter to me. I know a lot of people like that sub 250? Great video with this SE Marcus? It's really good that we can get something so small with a great camera, I can't wait to see the Mini 3 and see what that is going to look like? I'm definitely going to wait and see a few videos before I go ahead and buy. I tend to do that with all the drones. Either way Marcus, thanks for sharing another great looking video. 👍👍👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you sir! I too am looking forward to the 3.

[@DRONIXAR]

beautiful

[@jimanderson4865]

For someone that's only going to fly once in a great while. That Mini SE is something someone can buy and not feel guilty about spending a whole lot of money when it just sit for awhile. Nice little buzz around the park. Looks like sports central where your flying at.....🏀🏈⚽⚾🎾

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

No question that park is for sports. Thank you Jim!

[@dronejourneynz]

Well said. I bought the Mini 2 because it was the best value for money drone at the time. Had the SE been released at the time, that's the one I would have bought. For KZbin, 2.7K is just fine. I do like the extras on the Mini 2, but suspect I would have been just as happy with the SE.

[@mickeymch876]

Depends where your at and what price range you are in. The SE is the best bang for your buck if you are limited to the $300 - $350 range but it you live in an area with a lot of interference and can afford it the Mini 2 would probably be a better choice. I have many areas around me (including where I live) that the Mini SE would loss signal at 150' to 200' from the controller. In the same area the Mini 2 will go 1500 - 2000' before the signal goes bye bye.

[@billhowes5871]

Yes, I agree. I own many of the other brands and DJI remains the #1 dog.

[@Speak_Out_and_Remove_All_Doubt]

I'm really impressed with that media mod mic, I just wish GoPros where better in low light. Looking forward to the Mini Pro 3!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, the GoPros are a bright light camera. Thank you!

[@Lowered17chevy]

Got this drone today and it was really windy and it flew great 👌🏼

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That is great!

[@billhowes5871]

Hi, Marcus! Yes, The Mini SE is a fantastic drone. I fly it every day in the lot next to my house that I have cleared many trees from and delimbed many more to make the lot into an obstacle course. In one area a sizable tree has fallen. I removed all of the smaller branches and twigs from to make a complex web if you will. An intricate maze. It takes a great deal of patience and skill to maneuver through it successfully. This little guy does it perfectly day in and day out. I fly all day and night long. That's all I do.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's a fantastic drone Bill!

[@pfdroner9849]

Hi Marcus, great video as usual. Here is the definition of the micrometre, also called micron, metric unit of measure for length equal to 0.001 mm, or about 0.000039 inch. Its symbol is μm. The micrometre is commonly employed to measure the thickness or diameter of microscopic objects,

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh excellent! Thank you for that.

[@fj1100mark]

All three of my drones the platinum the air 2 and the mini all had that optimising FlightSafety update I think they’ve done it for every single drone. I’m definitely not going to fly today as we have 22 mile an hour sustained 41 mile an hour gusts

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh wow! That is windy.

[@DutchMarkyMark]

Keep practicing with does sticks ,Marcus 😉

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I will try my best! 😎

[@mikec2745]

This is my first drone and I have to admit it's absolutely awesome. Never had a single problem with it and she always comes back to me even in the heavily forested areas of Florida I live in. One question I have is: you mentioned something about wanting to activate the fly awake hours. I purchased the DJI insurance will fly away coverage but every once in awhile I'll get a message upon startup that says something about activating the coverage but it goes away before I can even read it. Is this something I need to be worried about to make sure that I'm covered for flyways even if I purchase the coverage?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm not sure why it gave me that message. Thank you!

[@dosomestuff1949]

The mini se and mini 2 have the same wind resistance? That’s strange cuz the mini 2 has a slightly higher pitch angle. I’m guessing the se will pitch as far as the mini 2 if it’s really windy because it’s capable of pitching that far

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm sure there is a need to differentiate the two products as well.

[@dosomestuff1949]

@@IdahoQuadcopter true, but from what I’ve seen, they do perform identically in wind. Btw, have u tested the mini 3 pro in wind? How does that perform compared to these two drones

[@MVMTV4Videos]

Well done video Marcus, I sent you an email. Deals drone has shown a new leaked photo of Mini 3. It appears to have front legs, A design a lil diff than previous leaks. Legs will fold to front unblocking rear sensors and having front legs

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for that information. I'll take a look. 👍

[@fsugrad03]

I'm betting there will be a Mini 3 SE in 2023.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Quite possible. 👍

[@peteroman4297]

Actually the DJI mini SE handles the same winds that the Mini 2 can and if you use Yagi antennas with the parabolic antenna you can pretty much cover the same distance that the occusync on the mini 2 covers. In all honesty the only “Real” difference between the SE and the mini 2 is the $200 or so dollars ( that people were con’ed into including me) and the mini 2 has a slightly better camera and by the way the mini SE does have the same pitch angle as the mini 2. 🤷🏻‍♂️😊👍 by the way love you channel.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Pete. Good information!

[@dosomestuff1949]

The mini se has a slightly lower pitch angle but everything else is correct.

[@peteroman4297]

@@dosomestuff1949 no it doesn’t. The mini SE has the same motors and props that the mini 2 has.

[@dosomestuff1949]

@@peteroman4297 it does. And the mini se has the capability to pitch at that angle, but it’s a software limitation by dji for some reason. If u rth with the mini se and push the stick forward, it will pitch as much as the mini 2.

[@peteroman4297]

@@dosomestuff1949 ok,ok I get what you mean. I thought you were speaking in reference to the “Props Pitch”? Now I get what you are referring to, you’re talking as far as the “Pitch” of the drone itself not the “Pitch” of the props.👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@gregwiggins113]

I now have the mini se thanks to all Ive learned from your videos. Thanks for the educational and entertaining content you put effort into sharing. So far the se is preforming great and inspires confidence for a beginner like me. Ive watched most all your videos and cant remember ever seeing this, but do you use the screen recorder included in your phones software? Or are you using a different app? My screen recordings occasionally black out briefly while watching them later. No FPV loss while flying. Totally something to do with the recording itself and I use the recorder included with my phone. Thanks Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for your kind word Greg. I do use the native screen recorder on my iPhone.

[@fj1100mark]

I think UM means micrometre also known as a micron i.e. one millionth of a meter I.e. a 1000th of a millimetre

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Mark!

I lost my mini so I have 2 batteries and extra props. I am thinking about buying a se mini. Will I be able to use my mini props and batteries with the se?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You can use the batteries, but not the props.

[@jeffnichols9289]

@@IdahoQuadcopter ok, thanks.

[@11290slk]

Re the Mini 3, if DJi would put out a "standard version" instead of the Pro with a better camera than the Mini 2, without obstacle avoidance, etc., I might consider buying. I could care less about obstacle avoidance, active track but would like a better camera than the Mini 2. In a year the Mini 2 will become more difficult to get batteries and some parts for and will be just another orphan of DJi. Had hopes for a "standard version" but does not look promising. Just my $.02

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

We'll need to see if they come up with a bargain version of the 3.

Keep seeing all these videos of people flying over people, homes, roads, and out of VLOS. How can I be irresponsible and do whatever I want also? I fly 100% by the rules, away from people, never over homes, always within VLOS, and in unrestricted airspace, yet I still get pestered. What's the secret?
