I just bought a used mini off ebay. Perfect shape it’s been sitting in a closet for years. I knew i need to update all the programs. All the videos and all the instructions said to do it but none showed how. Very simple when you showed how. The only thing I could find was involving a laptop and a wire that I did not have. I ordered it and then found this video. It’s updating while I’m typing this. Thanks!

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Also, didn't he say at the beginning "critical, especially if you DON'T fly in the US"? I don't get it, do most people in the US use metrics?? Pretty weird to say "critical" when you know KZbin is available in pretty many countries 😂

[@karlpolak6027]

Thank you Carson. I'm new to the hobby; a 61 year old Marine veteran and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I just learned that I do have to format the SD card to receive my firmware updates; that I did NOT know. I am all about just learning to fly right now and wasn't at all concerned about the SD card being formatted or not. Thank you for that tip!

@@michaelross9067 I love it, the portability of it is what I love best.. with the MA2. You will definitely get more then the Mini, but it all depends on what you will be doing with it. I haven't grown out of mine and its been almost a year now.

[@sokr418]

Another good reason to not put RTH height to 400' is that the higher you go, the stronger the winds are. So you may be up there, not knowing why your drone is not moving, but it's because it's fighting against a strong wind. Make it a bit higher than your surroundings, it will be much safer.

[@miketipton1456]

Thanks for your video. It was very helpful to know how the DJI Fly app works to be able to change from metric to imperial measurement. Also how to Format the SD card to the drone. My first 2 flights with my new DJI mini SE were done without formatting and I only had cached video in low resolution on the app not on my card. Also I hit return to home and the drone flew to (approx.) 400 feet before adjusting for return to home function. I will be changing the measurements and formatting first thing. Thanks again for taking time and sharing what you learned!

[@piggybank292003]

Just got the mini 2, and I love it. 4k video, top speed of 35mph in sport mode ,ocusync 2.0 and the new controller. Its a great upgrade and awesome drone.

[@droningharry]

I've had almost all of DJI's Drones and I have always enjoyed flying and using them. Aside from my Air and maybe my Spark which our Son in Law now has, this is absolutely the most enjoyable "Hobbyist" Drone I've ever owned. It has some great features, battery life is surprisingly good and the Camera at 30FPS in 2.7K is great. A 64GB SD Card really goes a long way. This is my "Little Muffin" and in Iowa you aren't supposed to take Drones into State Parks. The Mini looks like a Toy it's so small. No one bothers me and we spend our Summers traveling around the State with our nice, big Tailer. No one is the wiser about the great little Drone I'm flying. When a Phantom came out, even my Air they brought unwanted attention. Now, no one cares, I'm like the kids with their RC Cars. Great Video.

[@nixandi4448]

[@tonyowen116]

Hey Carson... Good info, even for those of us who have been flying for a bit (just over a year for me). I've played with the Cine mode on my Platinum and 2Pro. Talk about slooooowwww response time. YIKES! While it does give the cinematic type smoothness, if trees are in the area, or flying over orchards, or a lot of brush type ground cover, you could be in trouble real quickly. Since I've experimented with the Cine mode, I just leave it P mode, and manually work on my stick control inputs. I have adjusted these under the EXP (?) settings - info gleaned from Ed Ricker, and Russ on a 51 Drones. Need to play with the input settings to get what I want in response time. I have yet to play with the auto flight modes. Cheers...

[@carsonmtech]

Tony, thanks for the input! I agree, the cinesmooth mode should be used lightly and only when you FULLY understand how severely it impacts your ability to maneuver the drone. You definitely need to play around with the autonomous flight modes sometime. They’re pretty interesting!

[@JBC_cat]

Thanks . Some great tips for new mini pilots. I did not know half these existed. My first few flights recordings were in 1080 mode. Haha. It still shot beautiful vids considering though. They were so nice I just thought it was in the 2.7 k mode. I kinda wish we could set the imperial metric or standard to our own likings though. Mix and match. For instance in Canada we kinda use a mix of both. Feet and kilometers per hour. I am used to construction work and no one uses meters here. We use feet.. Anyways "cest la vie" We are stuck in the middle. Thanks again. Upvoted and subbed.

Nice job Carson, I appreciated the reminder that I like to use grid lines with my P3 and didn't know it was available here. I haven't seen if the battery warning can be adjusted to user preference on the mini. There is only one thing I disagree with and that it taking updates. I always wait and let others discover if there are any issues with the updates because there can be bugs and I don't like being the guinea pig. Thanks again

[@yaknbo]

Hello. Thanks for your excellent video. While shooting in my church and wanting to get a vertical reveal from the floor to the organ, DJI wouldn't let me go higher than 15-20 feet. I was told that if I turned off the GPS, it would solve this problem and let me reach a higher altitude inside. Is this true? Thank you.

[@babarmasood4770]

Hey Carson I asked you in another video before but I want your opinion again on whether the mavic mini is a good beginners drone cuz I'm also seeing the spark, mavic pro and phantom are also good options?
