Big check ✔️ brother still DJI mini 2 will be the legendary not only about range and features it's also about the price thanks for sharing this video like👍👍👍
Oh DJI knows so my bet is the Mini 2 will have a shorter life than the original mini. Lol. I’m kidding but who knows if DJI is taking lessons from Apple.
Thanks, Doug!!! I’m just happy we didn’t have any mishaps this time. Lol. That’s becoming the norm around here it seems. Fingers crossed this trend continues. Hahaha
I've been following for a while nice job greetings to my Dear Rose and her brother Johnny. Welbeck here from Accra Ghana West Africa. Stay blessed and safe all the time Amen
Awesome!!! Welcome from West Africa. That’s cool! It’s great to hear you’ve been enjoying the videos. Let us know if you have a question or a test you’d like us to try. God bless!! Kevin
Oh wow that’s awesome!!! Thanks for the mention, buddy. We always appreciate your comments and advice for sure. I hear there’s a controller update I overlooked. Hahaha
I did the update and it fix my issue of losing signal at 1000 feet good job DJI . Great video Kevin.See you on the next one 👍 have fun with all that timber 👍🤣
That’s awesome, man! DJI must’ve listened to you. lol. Thanks for watching again and for the positive reinforcement. Haha. That lumber has been kicking my butt for a week now. That was only half of it. Haaaaa
Lol so have I. It’s been a really busy week here and I no longer have a stash of videos in the editing room. It’s time to get out there and get busy flying. Lol. I was saying earlier today there’s just not enough hours in the day. Daylight savings time is killing me! Lol
Hi Russ. You are 100% correct when you say that the mini 2 is 1 of the best drones that dji ever produced. I started out with the Phantom 1.1.1. & I can still fly it without any problem whenever I want to remind myself how much the technology has advanced with drones. By the way, I noticed that you started Rose 1st before the controller on 1 of your videos. I was taught to alway turn on the controller 1ST when I started out fly drones. Great videos. Keep up the good reviews.
Heck yea! Thanks for the comment, Michael. There’s something to be said about simplicity sometimes. I know drones are all pretty much high tech, but the Mini 2 is awesome! It was simple enough for me to figure out as one of my first drones so that means something. Lol. Regarding the order of starting the equipment, I never knew there was a sequence of controller first then the drone. I’ve never paid attention to what I start first. Is that in the manual!???? Lol. Wonder if that may affect the imu?
I now set yer vids to 2x Playback and the audio is so fun to listen to! hehe I'll set Playback to 0.25 just for fun for reeeeaaaallllly sssssllllllooooowwww audio.. HA! Fun vid; thx for the testing and validation for us all!
Hahahaha. I have 2 talking speeds. Really slow and drawn out when I’m confused and the really fast when I’m nervous. Your approach would be applicable in both instances here. Lol.
Agreed that the Mini 2 is their best drone to date for consumers. It's like when you keep going on piece of artwork and thank God for digital and go back a few versions realizing it was already great :D In their defense (development team), having to release a new drone so quickly every few years would be very stressful when it already delivers amazing results.
Oh absolutely. The Mini 2 is the best bang for the buck and if it’s durable enough to take my abuse every week and survive, it’s a total winner. The bells and whistles are nice on the Mini 4 (don’t get me wrong) but there’s something to be said about simplicity sometimes. Give me a 98 Ford Ranger 5 speed over a King Ranch F250 any day. Lol. Wait, I do like my F350 a lot. But it’s a basic XL with the STX package. Nothing elaborate. Lol. I’m just glad I don’t understand all the technical stuff. Sometimes it’s nice to just let the experts handle that stuff. Hahaha
Couldn't agree more. Without obstacle avoidance for example, you learn to fly safer. With it, you get overconfident and crash your drone lol @@WeretheRoberts
As always, buddy, a great video. Plus, it's always good to see you again. Now, get to work on that pile of wood. 😃😃♥️♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻 Watch your thumbs with the hammer.
Lol thanks, Ron! It’s always fun to read your comments as well. I feel like our videos lately have been covering way too many updates and not enough tests!!! Eh? That pile of wood is nearly out of the truck now and I only have a few scrapes and scratches so far. Nothing broken! Hahaha
Lol that’s awesome, man! Thank you so much for the positive comment and also for watching. That transmission tab confused the crap out of me when I first saw it but once someone explained the readings to me it sort of made sense. Lol. He used a bunch of big words but then put it in Kevin terms for us all to understand. Hahaha.
Lol heck yea!!! I do love the Mini 4 so far but there’s something about the Mini 2 and it’s simplicity, eh? I would totally buy the Mini 2 as my first drone all over again no doubt.
Couldn’t agree more, Johnny. I was saying the bells and whistles on the 4 pro are awesome but there’s something to be said about simplicity sometimes. To me it’s less stressful to fly the 2 around than the 4 even with the obstacle avoidance. I’m not nearly as comfortable with it yet. I’ve not flown the Mavic series or the air series. I may need to branch out so I can compare. Lol
I Kevin, I hope you and family are ok! As you know I still love my mini 2... My big reason not to buy the mini 4 pro is that I heard that it's almost impossible to handcatch this drone when landing..due all his sensors..true? Or not?.. Maybe you can show us with you brand new drone if it's really that impossible on a new video....🤔 Well Have a good weekend! greetz from this cold & raining Netherlands 🇳🇱 God Bless! 🙏
Lol yea we are doing good over this way, thanks man. I have hand landed and launched the 4 pro a few times but you’re right. It’s way different than the mini 2. I’ve just held my hand under it flat and landed that way. I’ve not tried to grab it out of the air like I do with the mini 2 so I’ve not had the sensors interfere but I’m gonna try it to see what happens. That’s a really good video idea, brother. Let me add it to the list. Lol. I hope your weather changes soon so you can get out and fly. God bless!!!
Another great test Kevin! I'll do the updat after my doctor appointment. BTW, you are lucky to have those nice spots to do your test flights from. I need to get out of these mountains and away from the forest to do much flying. But sisnce my appointment is near Sacramento today, maybe I can find a nice spot down in the valley to fly afterward. Thanks for the test Kevin, and have a great day!
Heck yea, Gary. We do have a bunch of ear spots to fly. Some have a lot of interference and some are in controlled air space but for the most part, it’s wide open. Just gotta watch out for the seagulls. Haha. You have to watch out for Sasquatch! Hope you got some flying in today after your clean bill of health was given. :)
@@WeretheRoberts As a matter of fact, I did, but not down in the valley. I went back up to where I lost connection at Lake Spaulding Falls and completed my flight up to the lake. Beautiful day for it too! No Saquatch yet, but I put some reflector tape on Grace to scare away the birds. It must have worked because I didn't get attacked once. 😏
I’ve heard awesome things about the Air 2s. I’ve never flown anything bigger than the Mini drones with exception of 2 flights of the EXO X7 Ranger. That one flew away in me on the second flight and it’s been in the case ever since I retrieved it from the neighboring briar patch. Lol. The FPV flights you’re taking about, are you referring to the FPV and Follow options?
@@WeretheRoberts it was a bug from the start with the samsung a53. When I filed a complaint with DJI, they referred me to the small letters where it stated that the A53 could not film 4K. luckily it is now
Was that problem with losing signal with just the Mini drones? I'm asking because I have the air 2, and air 2 S and never had that problem. Thanks for sharing my friend. 👍👍👍
That’s a fair question for sure. I don’t know if it was specific to the Mini or not but honestly I think the lack of signal on our drone was simply because of the trees. I retested the 1.12.2 in a different spot and it was perfect. Lol. A few people who obviously pay a little more attention than I do told me it was the trees and it seems like they were 100% right. Lol
@@WeretheRoberts That's understandable but you wasn't that far away for you to get signal problems. I fly past a thousand feet and still have strong signal, like all full bars signal. I live near a small forest. It's actually a huge park, and I always fly past the entire length of the park and beyond, and never have a problem. That's why I asked if the problem was just with the Mini series of drones. At least it looks like you have your problem fixed. Congratulations, and can't wait to see more of your content. Thanks again. 👍👍👍
Good deal. It’s hard to say for sure what the problem was but the trees made sense. We have several places around here with trees everywhere and we don’t normally have signal issues either. I like to fly at the beach though so there’s no chance of interference but it’s a pretty far drive. Sometimes I’m lazy. Lol
Amazing video mate, really enjoyed that! Did the imu calibration work, I’ve had a bit of a drifting issue on my last flight, I did a calibration but not tried it yet to see if it fixed the issue 👍
Hey, buddy. Yea the calibration works every time but it doesn’t seem to last long. Lol. It’s not a big deal though to do it. Eventually it may end up being part of my “getting ready to fly” process. I usually forget until i see it drifting. Haha
@@WeretheRoberts haha love that! I’m glad it worked , il keep you posted on if it did for me too, il take it out over the weekend and check it out! First time it did it for me the other day, thought it was a storm on the way at first lol!
@Drone.vision lol sounds like a plan. I’ve been having the drifting issues for quite a while now. I’m not sure if it’s something DJI may have done intentionally to steer people away from the Mini 2 drones now or if it’s just something in the atmosphere. You know. Cataclysmic interference. Hahaha. Anyway, thanks for keeping us updated, brother.
@@WeretheRoberts haha yea it could definitely be one or the other, I’m hoping he flies as straight as an arrow next flight out! No problem atall mate, I look forward to your next video!
Hahaha. Dwight is doing great and he understands he has a lot to live up to with Jack and Rose. Lol. I love that mini 4 pro but there’s something about the Mini 2 simplicity and ease of Oreo, right? Now if only I could incorporate the mini 2 and the rc2 controller. That would be amazing! Regarding the lumber, it’s being transformed into something that hopefully will resemble a deck pretty soon. It’s slow going though. Work keeps interfering!
Awesome question! Thanks for watching and commenting, buddy. Yea the 1200 foot thing is something I started limiting myself to a while ago to keep more in line with the line of sight stuff. We used to fly away really far from the home point when I first started flying drones and making videos, but then I discovered they have rules about it. Lol. Plus people kept pointing it out in the comments. When I’m out just flying around I never feel the need to go further than about 1200 feet or so so it sounded like a reasonable number to limit the signal tests to. Bad part is these drones make it out to 1200 feet too fast. Hahaha
Thanks, brother! I haven’t seen the controller update come across the screen yet. I’ll check it out tomorrow though. I did watch a couple videos showing it and it seems safe to me. I guess it’s really only for an addition of an specific android phone? Shaun the Drone did a video on it today so I actually knew what you’re talking about. Hahaha. I probably never would have noticed that update. Heck it may have even been on the screen in this video. Lol.
@@WeretheRoberts if so, I didn't see it 😂 I saw it, when I opened DJI Fly after seeing your video. One of the things I like the most about your channel, is that you're not claiming to be an complete expert, but you make very interesting tests, and as a subscriber, I really feel I'm with you on the journey 👍🏻 I love it - Thanks 🙏🏻
Hahaha. They seem to sneak updates past me a lot. I’m usually late to the party. Ain’t no way we are experts, brother. Remember, we’re the unprofessionals!!! Hahaha
Lol that’s above my head. I don’t know about the DroneHack thing but I do know it’s mainly for the EU countries having an altitude limit of 120 meters. It doesn’t seem like anything changed for us in the US though. Seemed identical to the last version to me.
So are you saying the mini 2 is your favorite drone? Or is it really still the better drone of all the minis...or the price value..can you clarify..? and I just added you to my page..
Awesome!! Thanks for that, brother. Sort of all of the above I think. Lol. I think the mini 2 is the best drone (at least for me) because it’s still pretty simple. I was saying earlier the bells and whistles of the 4 pro are really cool but there’s something calming about simplicity sometimes. I’m a lot more relaxed flying the 2 than the 4, at least for now, I think mainly because I’m not 100% familiar with all the functions. The 2 is definitely a better price point than the 4 and it’s proven itself over time. I know that’s probably not a fair statement because the 4 hasn’t had time to prove itself yet but that’s me. Unfair. Hahaha. Also, my experience is really limited to the Mini drones , too so for me to say it’s the best drone they’ve made is pretty subjective. I guess bottom line is it’s still my favorite but I’m gonna give the 4 every chance to trump the 2. Lol.
gouduoduo2018 Mavic Air 2 / Mini 2 Remote Control Tilt Stand Phone Holder Bracket with Strap for DJI Air 2S / Mavic Air 2 / Mini 2 Drone Accessories a.co/d/erjT7tR
Lol here’s a link to Amazon for that bracket thingie. It’s totally worth it’s weight in gold and I use it every time I fly the Mini 2. It’s funny how something so simple can make such a difference, eh?
Yea I’ve seen some of those, too. These drones seem to have no limit sometimes. Lol. It’s like the battery is the only thing that limits them. We did a battery test a long time ago and followed behind the drone for just over 5 miles. The battery was almost dead at that point but at least it made it 5 miles. Thanks for watching and commenting, brother. God bless! Kevin
It's bs that's for sure but hey what can you do. 120m is still enough from where I live. You can let it be removed by dji but then your no longer flying "legal"
If we had that limit it would be enough for us, too because Florida is as flat as they come. lol. No mountains here. But it’s a bummer for those who live in the mountains I’m sure.
Hahahaha. I thought you were serious at first glance. You got me but would it really be that far fetched? Lol. They did sneak in an RCN1 controller update that I may have overlooked. Figures. Hahaha

You're right about the Mini 2. Mine has been flawless despite an unflawless operator. Is unflawless a word?
Hahahaha. Maybe it’s in the same dictionary as fantastic-er. Lol I am all too familiar with the term “user error”. Hahaha.

So are you saying the mini 2 is your favorite drone? Or is it really still the better drone of all the minis...or the price value..can you clarify..? and I just added you to my page..
Awesome!! Thanks for that, brother. Sort of all of the above I think. Lol. I think the mini 2 is the best drone (at least for me) because it’s still pretty simple. I was saying earlier the bells and whistles of the 4 pro are really cool but there’s something calming about simplicity sometimes. I’m a lot more relaxed flying the 2 than the 4, at least for now, I think mainly because I’m not 100% familiar with all the functions. The 2 is definitely a better price point than the 4 and it’s proven itself over time. I know that’s probably not a fair statement because the 4 hasn’t had time to prove itself yet but that’s me. Unfair. Hahaha. Also, my experience is really limited to the Mini drones , too so for me to say it’s the best drone they’ve made is pretty subjective. I guess bottom line is it’s still my favorite but I’m gonna give the 4 every chance to trump the 2. Lol.
Yes i agree..I have nothing against the mini 4 ...I just like flying my mini 2 because it is simple, and it always comes back home.
Heck yea. Getting it home is always a relief. Lol
Can you please tell me again what phone holder you have....Thanks
gouduoduo2018 Mavic Air 2 / Mini 2 Remote Control Tilt Stand Phone Holder Bracket with Strap for DJI Air 2S / Mavic Air 2 / Mini 2 Drone Accessories a.co/d/erjT7tR
Lol here’s a link to Amazon for that bracket thingie. It’s totally worth it’s weight in gold and I use it every time I fly the Mini 2. It’s funny how something so simple can make such a difference, eh?
@@WeretheRoberts Thanks for getting back to me...
Definitely. Are you gonna get it?
Got it delivered today...Thanks Bob @@WeretheRoberts
Ive seen guys do 34k feet on a mini 2
Yea I’ve seen some of those, too. These drones seem to have no limit sometimes. Lol. It’s like the battery is the only thing that limits them. We did a battery test a long time ago and followed behind the drone for just over 5 miles. The battery was almost dead at that point but at least it made it 5 miles. Thanks for watching and commenting, brother. God bless! Kevin
It's bs that's for sure but hey what can you do. 120m is still enough from where I live. You can let it be removed by dji but then your no longer flying "legal"
If we had that limit it would be enough for us, too because Florida is as flat as they come. lol. No mountains here. But it’s a bummer for those who live in the mountains I’m sure.
But the drone should fly up or down 120 no matter how high you are it can only read to take of point
Yea that makes sense.
Pretty sure Fly App v1.12.4 dropped, as soon as this video went live. Ever get the feeling 👀 you 👀were 👀 being 👀watched? 👀 - Just kidding.
Hahahaha. I thought you were serious at first glance. You got me but would it really be that far fetched? Lol. They did sneak in an RCN1 controller update that I may have overlooked. Figures. Hahaha
