Got some awesome news that DJI added the auto charge option back to the app for iOS users today!!! We really hope this option being back helps with the dim screen issue. Let us know how it works out for you!!! God bless you guys! Kevin and Kristi
03:10 LOL I used to use my iPhone 12 when I first got my Mini2 but for the last 4 months have been using my Samsung Galaxy tab as its much better using a large screen than the phone and dont have this darkening screen problem thankfully.
Lol glad you liked that “joke”? Haha. You’re smart for using the galaxy tablet. We’ve been wanting a bigger screen for a while so we may have to look into that Samsung. I’ve had android phones in the past and it was ok. Cool info brother. Thanks!!!
@@WeretheRoberts My eye sight isn't great close up and having to put reading glasses on to see the iphone screen seemed risky so thought it was safer to have a bigger screen that was I dont need glasses and can keep an eye on the drone. the Samsung Galaxy tab 5e is just the right size. you just need a holder, after watching reviews I got the "PGYTECH Tablet Pad Holder Mount" and you also need a longer cable so I got a "LYONGTECH USB C to USB-C 11.8 Inch Nylon Braided Cable for DJI Mini 2". Im very happy with this setup, nice big screen so you can see your footage, well worth it
@@comedyhunter ok very cool. I’ll look that up and let you know what we do. I’ve wanted a bigger screen since the first time I flew the drone. Imagine if we still had the iPhone 4! Lol.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Casper. My phone still dims pretty much every flight. The ice packs do seem to help quite a bit but it’s just inconvenient sometimes lol. I’ve learned the dimming is mostly because of direct sunlight on the phone screen. For some reason the phone goes into protection mode and it’s almost impossible to see at times. I’ve learned to deal with it for the most part and mainly fly from sitting inside the vehicle now to avoid the sunlight. Fortunately being in the vehicle doesn’t seem to interfere with the signal either so it works out for the most part. Thanks again for watching and we hope this helps a little bit.
@@WeretheRoberts I found a video showing how to fix this problem.. 1) turn off notifications 2) in setting go to the battery icon and put it in low power.. this seems to fix the problem.. Thought I’d share the info with you and your fans..
It's crazy how many people have said the same thing... I hope they fix this auto charge thing soon cause it's a lot more fun to fly when you don't have that dim screen looming over your head.... lol Thanks for watching, Brian! God bless... Kevin
Hi, thanks for the video and solution. My Mini 2 did exactly the same thing, but it was the hottest day ever in the UK. Actually my iPhone does this just as I'm sat in the garden with the sun out. I've found that when I put the found down, I have to put it in the shade. I've started using it in the controller without a case on too.
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching and for the comment! We know this isn't the perfect 100% solution, but what it's done for us is allow us a little extra time before the screen goes dark. I've been taking the phone out of the case and using the sunshade, too ever since and it's all working together really well to help keep the phone cooler... It definitely gets annoying, eh? lol Hopefully it'll start cooling down a bit and we can use the phone like it's supposed to be used in the near future... God bless and thanks again for watching!!! Kevin and Kristi
@@WeretheRoberts We shouldn't have to be worrying about it going dark though. It's just unusable, even in the English summertime. It'll be freezing here soon anyway lol. Thanks for the reply by the way, I'll try to find some time to watch some more of your videos :)
lol very cool! We hope this helps you out as much as it seems to have helped us... We know it's not a total fix, but it'll definitely buy you some more flying time before the dreaded dim screen... Let us know how it goes!!! Thanks for watching, Stephen and welcome to the channel :) God bless!!!! Kevin and Kristi
Very cool... DJI also just gave us back the option to turn off the auto charge feature which is awesome! We are still gonna bring the ice packs just in case though... :) Let us know!!!
@@WeretheRoberts thanks! I’m still going to carry mine as well. I tested out the ice packs, in the Everglades heat. Gave me about 25% more time. Until it dims to much.
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. We appreciate your support more than you know. God bless and welcome to the channel. :) Kevin and Kristi
Okay, I should have watched this video before commenting on the last one about the iPhone screen darkening, and how to prevent it from overheating. That's a great idea about the ice packs! I'll have to try that! Thanks for another great video, and Hi to Kristi!
Haha. That’s hilarious, Gary. This did work for us for sure but an even better solution I try now is just to stay out of the direct sunlight. That seems to be the biggest culprit. Even in the shade the screen still dims sometimes so it’s not a perfect solution though.
Thank you sir! The cold pacs fixed the problem. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and there is still room to fit the ice pack between the phone and the controller. I use a Yeti 16 ounce tumbler with lid to keep the ice packs cold when out in the field.
Oh wow that’s awesome!!! We know it’s not a fix but it definitely helps keep the dim screen away a little longer. Lol. Thank you so much for watching and letting us know it was helpful. That’s great to hear. God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Very cool. Keep us in the loop whether they help or it. Our iPhone 11 seems to dim all the time. It doesn’t even have to be sunny! Lol. It gets annoying for sure.
Haha.. Let's not get carried away, Chris... My favorite part of the whole video was Kristi's face saying, "You're anything but cool," when I told that awesome dad joke!!! lol
Great tip! I'm using a Samsung galaxy s10 so running android, not noticed my screen dim but the phone does get quite hot!🔥😯 No need for an ice pack here in the UK our summer temps are guaranteed to keep the phone cool. ⚠️😯😊
lol the Florida heat is no match for an iPhone apparently... Hopefully you don't have the issue in the future. It's not as much fun flying with this possibility looming over your head.... lol It'll all work out soon though, hopefully.. God bless and thanks for watching, buddy !
Very cool! That's what we like to hear... :) Thanks for watching and for your awesome channel support, guys... This one wasn't one of those "I can watch over and over again" videos, but it's an idea... lol God bless and thanks again!! Kevin and Kristi
Awesome comment, guys. We know it’s not a solution but at least it’s a start. lol. The last thing I need is to lose the screen mid flight and crash. Lol.
Its really warm in Florida,wow thats a good idea using that ice pack for your iPhone to cool off,it really help.Thanks for sharing this good idea very helpful
Yea it’s a little toasty. Lol. Thanks for watching, Ding, and for your awesome comment. We hope this helps some people like it’s seemed to help us. We know it’s not a solution but it’s kind of a band aid. Lol. God bless and thanks again!
I havent had this problem with my galaxy but I also don't have the DJI drone. My issue with overheating is with my gopro. The little ice packs are neat though.
haha... Well, you should get the DJI Mini 2, buddy... You'd love it!!! Very cool little drone for sure. Our GoPro does the same overheating thing, too.. Especially with the wind muff on it... Sometimes with it on my chest, it'll only last about 3 or 4 minutes then shut itself off from overheating... Maybe we should move to a colder state... lol Thanks for watching, Larry and God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Well...that's of course helpful when the phone goes dark....I found out that my the position marker / height and distance figures do not work anymore once the IPhone space is full. Ever since I made that experience, I only record on the SD card. Thanks for the video!
Oh wow, I hadn't heard that before.... My phone became full only once when I was actually flying but I never even noticed the figures stopped working... That could get confusing, eh? Let's hope DJI gives us back the charging option soon so at least we have one less thing to think about... lol God bless and thanks for watching, buddy... Kevin
Congrats on 500 subscribers! I don't have an iPhone, or even any phone that's capable of running the DJI Fly app. (I use hand-me-down phones from the kids, with an old version of Android. LOL) I ended up buying a cheap Samsung tablet to fly the Mini 2. Thankfully no overheating/dimming problems for me. :-)
Thanks for the congrats, brother!! We really appreciate you noticing that.... And we are glad you haven't had this issue yourself. A lot of people on here have been mentioning the Samsung tablets and swear they're worth their weight in gold. (hand me down phones was funny lol)... I've been looking at them online to see if it's something we could do and it's looking promising. iPads are way too expensive right now, eh? This issue definitely makes it a lot more nerve racking to fly that's for sure... Thanks again for watching, buddy! God bless!
One guy commented, "This idea is ridiculous. I like it!" lol That was hilarious... I hope you don't have this problem when you get yours up and running, buddy... There's some people now who believe there's a different issue though saying the direct sunlight will dim the iPhone screens, too. Enough about that though... lol Have you gotten yours yet?
Been using mini gel packs since your tip came out. It’s the only way I can fly here in Pensacola. I’m hoping the new DJI RC with the screen will have Mini 2 compatibility soon. I have one in the cart at DJI ready to buy as soon as they announce it. Gene
hahaha... Yea those gel packs still work well for us, too but guess what! The cooler temperatures are on the way and I'm looking forward to that... We just had Hurricane Ian come through yesterday and the temps cooled down this morning to the low 60s.. It's pretty awesome... lol
Hey guys! The screens definitely help with glare for sure and I use mine a lot. We've not heard of many iPads dimming but it's happened a few times from what we've been told. Well, DJI has given us the option back to turn off charging and it seems to help. They actually listened! lol We've been thinking of going android with a Samsung tablet just for the drone. It would be awesome to have a bigger screen!!! God bless and thanks for watching, guys... :) Kevin and Kristi
Where's the background music? Hank Williams "Your Cold Cold Heart"? "It will be a cold day in...". "Baby It's Cold Outside". "Cold Ft Worth Beer Ain't No Good For Jealous". Ok OK, I'll stop. But IT IS a really COOL idea. My iPhone got too hot to hold a couple of days ago and I wasn't anywhere near my DJI Controller. Kristi, like my wife, is a VERY patient woman. We are blessed! Keep spreading the joy. Gary
Haaaa!!! That's hilarious! So many songs, so little time... lol Yes, Kristi is very patient but she says I talk too much.. I don't see it... lol Thanks for watching, Gary. Your comments always make us laugh.. God bless!!!
haha... it was only cold to the touch for about 5 minutes then it was cool to the touch... It was then warm to the touch after I crashed the drone... yes, I crashed again... lol
Thanks for watching, Dr. Bob! Yea, we know this isn't a solution for the long term but it's at least something to help... God bless and thanks again!! Kevin
Awesome! thanks for watching, buddy... We know this isn't a total solution but at least it's a start.. lol Let's hope DJI fixes the app soon... God bless! Kevin and Kristi
We've not heard many androids having the issue but there have been a few who say they get the dim screen as well. Mostly it affects iPhones from what we've seen and heard. Glad you haven't had this issue!!! It makes things way too interesting for my taste... lol God bless and thanks again for watching, guys... Kevin
My phone does the same thing! To be fair mine is super old and I got it used from my father in law, so it had a long life already lol. Great info, friends! -Ang
There’s been so many people saying they’ve had the issue too. I guess there’s no phone age discrimination here. Lol. I’m thinking with as many complaints as been made it’ll be fixed soon. God bless, kids!!
Yea a few updates ago they took away the iOS option to turn off charging so now it charges continuously. Created a lot of heat. We are really hoping they get another update out soon that fixes that. We’ve seen hundreds of people commenting on other videos about having the same problem. We know this is more of a method to help not get the dim screen so quick rather than a fix but it seems to help us. Thanks Graham and God bless!!!
I have an iPhone 12 but I use my galaxy note 9 for drone! However mate we don't get hot as its not hot in uk lol 😆 😜 funny but when I was in florida my old HTC would have an absolute meltdown 1 min into finling anything
For some reason my reply to your comment here disappeared. Very strange but it's been happening a lot lately. If you didn't see it, I'll try to recreate it... lol Dad jokes rule, eh? We've seen a lot of people commenting about Samsung notebooks and tablets and they really seem to love them. We've been looking at them and may take the plunge eventually... :) God bless you guys!!! Kevin and Kristi
@@WeretheRoberts hi the comments vanishing seems to be getting very common. I have no idea why they keep vanishing. Somebody messaged me yesterday and it had vanished but I spotted it then I I clicked on it, it vanished again! Its not me deleting them so no idea. Yes the android note 9 is great 👍
Mine does it too. However, I don’t need a phone to fly my drone. My controller has a high resolution and high brightness screen built into the controller. I know there are pros and cons to this controller, but for my application, I haven’t had an issue so far. I fly the DJI Phantom 4 Pro plus. Thanks Kevin, for the insightful information.
Ah you are a lucky man. Lol. It’s definitely a pain and could have bad outcomes in flights so they need to really get it fixed soon. There’s always something in their updates that’s wrong. Lol. I’d like to fly the phantom 4 pro. I bet you don’t have any problems seeing it from a good distance, eh?
Awesome idea!!! I'm gonna try it since I live in SE Georgia and I have experienced the exact same issue when I was flying at Cocoa Beach. Thank you for sharing this!!!
Oh cool, Mike. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope it helps you as much as it seems to have helped us. It’s not a cure and the dim screen is only a few degrees away. Lol. Someone else mentioned a concern of maybe some condensation building up inside the phone and I never thought of that. I would hope the phones heat would take care of that before it became an issue but I’m not an electronics expert by any means. Thanks again and God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Thanks, Ozzy!!! We know it's not a total solution but it's a start... There's too many people having this issue for it to not be fixed soon, right? lol Thanks for watching, buddy and God bless...
I have a Samsung s20 Fe international version that's important because it doesn't use the Snapdragon processor and runs hotter. On my first day of flying my Samsung got so hot it began to switch the apps off. it switched the DJI fly app off which triggered the "Return to Home" function luckily I had it set up good enough to get back but for a long 4 minutes I was wondering if I was ever going to see my drone again.
Wow that’s something I’ve never even heard about. I had no idea phone’s using different processors could act that way. Now there’s one more thing to worry about!!!! Lol. Glad the RTH worked, buddy. It’s pretty amazing how well it does. It’ll make you panic I bet to lose it that way. Thanks for watching and commenting, Todd. I’m not sure if this is related but Kristi drives a Hyundai Santa Fe. Lol. God bless!!!!
Very cool, buddy! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Welcome to the channel!!! We've found out since this video DJI brought back the option to turn off auto charging for the iOS devices and it seems to help a little bit. It's not the 100% solution we were looking for, but it's way better than it was for sure... God bless and again thank you for your support... :) Kevin and Kristi
Eve since I updated 1.4.8 this issues with dim screen on iPhone 12 Pro. Was not happening before I would fly upto 5 batteries in a row no issue. Now 5 min flight screen dims 😡
Thanks for watching, Shawn!!! I know the feeling. Lol. We would fly all of our batteries dead before and the screen would be fine. They added the option to turn off charging back to iOS users a couple days ago and I flew the next day with no screen problem. I didn’t fly long but it seemed to help for sure. The phone wasn’t nearly as warm and the screen stayed as bright as could be. Granted I wasn’t in full 100% sun at the time cause of clouds but that didn’t seem to matter before. It would still go dim. Time will tell if it’s fixed but for our last flight all seemed ok. God bless and we hope yours gets better buddy. Let us know if it does. :) Kevin
Great video guys...i wouldnt want to use anything which condensates though...lol...like icepacks as might drip into the port which holds the monitor cable....and that could be a big NO-NO....or OHHH Nooooooooooooooo :) love you two...God bless....
Haha, yea that really oughta be a concern and I didn't think of that. We've used them quite a bit now though and they don't seem to condensate too much. The Florida heat just sucks the cool right out of them.... lol Thanks for the heads up on that, brother... I'll make sure to try and keep the controller level as much as possible to keep the potential drips out of the cable port... They added the option to turn off auto charge back to the DJI Fly app and I've flown once since then with no overheating issues. I wasn't in direct sunlight so I'm not 100% convinced yet, but we plan on flying again Friday so hopefully that'll be the test that confirms we are good. We used to be able to drain all of our batteries and had no dimming problems so I'm really certain it's caused by the app somehow. How would everyone's iPhones suddenly develop an issue all at once? lol I'm not the smartest person in the room (and I'm alone which is weird) and even I can figure that out... haha God bless!!! Love you, too, man... Be safe and thanks again for the tip! Kevin
lol... Thanks for watching, Gary. We are really happy that you enjoyed the video and took the time to comment... It really means a lot to us... God bless!!!! Kevin and Kristi
Yea DJI needs to stand up and get it done for sure. Thanks for watching and for your awesome support. You’re always so positive and upbeat. Thank you for that. :) We do our best to get some funny stuff in there cause laughter is priceless, eh? God bless!
Interesting, we have the heat/dim problem when our iphones in waterproof cases when we’re kayaking. Dipping the cases in the water helps, lol. Take care - Michelle & Brian
Very cool! Thanks for watching and we hope it helps out. Hopefully DJI bringing back the option to turn off charging helps out a lot, too. 😄 God bless and thanks again for watching. Kevin and Kristi
You might need to watch out about the moisture that might be created by having the temperature difference on the back of the phone. It might create condensation inside the phone. Just a thought.
Ahhh that’s a great point, buddy. Do you think with such a small ice pack there would be an issue or would the heat inside the phone take care of it? I definitely wouldn’t suggest doing this with every flight lol. I honestly have no idea
Very cool that you’re not having issues, man. I’m hoping it’s fixed really soon but I’m not in that loop. Lol. I do have an older LG Android phone. I wonder if I should give it a try. It’s about 5 or 6 years older so it may not be up to date for the app though. I’ll look into it. You’re not the first android user to say that. Lol. Got bless and thanks for watching!!!!
Nice one folks. This is a massive issue, and is a safety issue too. With the number of people I've seen talking about this over the past week, I'm pretty confident that DJI will release a fix very soon :)
Yea, we agree. DJI seems pretty in tune with their customers so I'm hoping it's really soon they get a fix... It seems like this complaints taken youtube over.. at least in the videos we watch.. haha.. Thanks for watching, Robert!!! I've been working on my Scottish accent but Kristi won't let me record it... Wonder why? haha.. God bless!
Well done you two and a nice get around👍. My Android phone and tablet get very warm as well. My phone is the worst because it's newer and has a bigger processor, and I do agree that DJI needs to fix this issue and soon!! Thanks Again, Happy 4th and God Bless, Dave
It’s weird that some androids are being affected too, eh? A lot of android users are laughing at us iOS guys. Lol. I know you’d never do that to us, Dave. Haha. If you hear of an update for this let me know cause We are totally out of the loop on that stuff. I hope it’s soon!!! DJI seems pretty good though so I’m sure it’ll work out eventually. God bless and happy 4th back.
@@WeretheRoberts Kevin and Kristi, around 57 seconds into the video you have all those comments popping up, which looks really cool😎. I just wanted to ask how you did that or what video editing software you are using to do that? Thanks Dave
Kristi here...I believe all editing software has this ability, no matter which one you're using. Those comment posts are all pictures that are stacked on a separate track. This section of our video is 14 tracks high, including the music track for the sound effect of the pop, kind of ridiculous but it works. I stacked the first one then four frames later started the next and so on, the last one I started at 11 frames later, it just sounded right to me. You can hear the delayed pop at the end for the last picture. *For each track line, video clip or picture you place, the one on top always becomes the primary one you see in the viewing window. Now up in the viewing window when that picture or clip is showing you can click on it and you should see little dots in the corners you can grab to stretch it or pull the corner down to shrink the picture. When shrinking the picture or clip you want you will see that the track from the line below shows underneath, (like us in the truck footage from track line one). I shrunk them all down one at a time and positioned them kind of randomly, you can place them anywhere you want. Then you can add your sound effects to the music track line and position them at the beginning of each picture or where you want. If you make a mistake like I always do just hit the back button. The back button controls the viewing window as well. We have other apps for music and sound effects because our editing program is limited in that area. Hopefully I explained this alright, I'm better at showing it. God Bless Kristi
@@WeretheRoberts Kristi, very good explanation thanks a lot. I was hoping there was a program out there where you wouldn't have to stack 14 or 15 videos but, I guess not. There are times on some of my videos I end up stacking 8 to 10 with vidoes, titles, effects and elements but, I've never used that many. FYI, I am using filmora X and now the new version 10.5. In my humble opinion, you're doing an awesome job! Thanks again, Happy 4th and God Bless You Both.
Filmora is what we use, I have a little trick too, I don't detach audio at all. The video clip that you want to detach audio from, just double click it go to compositing and slide the 100% bar to zero opacity, whatever is above that track if it's video you can mute. I don't get that accidental shift if it stays down in the music track line and no need to reattach. It just saves a little time. Kristi
The iPhone 11 is notorious for going dark on the screen as the battery goes down. There should be a setting in the app to allow charging or not allow. IOS is the only one that gives you that option. Android automatically charges and that draws down the battery on your remote control faster. But that's dealing with the Mavic 2 Pro.
Well the DJI fly app also took away the option to turn charging for iPhones too now so it constantly charges just like androids. A few updates ago is when this happened and it’s been a nightmare ever since. Boo!!! Lol
Thanks, man! This was definitely a different solution... lol We know it's not a permanent solution, but at least it was a start.. Good news is they gave us the charging option back yesterday!!! Now we just have to go test it out.. lol God bless and thanks for the awesome support!!! Kevin :)
Thanks, buddy!!! I hope we were able to come across as we know this isn't a total solution but it could help prevent the screen from dimming so quickly during the flight... God bless!!! Thanks again.... :)
Thanks for watching and for the encouraging words, Gary... :) We hope it helps some people out but it's definitely not a solution... DJI needs to get this fixed soon... God bless!!!
Wishing u a shiny future~ 🔥💯 How to Keep Your Phone Cool when Flying the DJI Mini 2 / iPhone Dim Screen / DJI Fly App Auto Charge! Such brightful idea for this. This is an enjoyable product! You made my day fabulous with this. ✅👍🏻 👀🔥
Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment. :) Welcome to the channel and we hope this may have helped you guys out a little bit. Do you have the Mini 2? Thanks again and God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Thats a "COOL" solution guys... Pun intended! good work, good temporary fix for anyone suffering with this problem. Keep safe you 👍 oh... and it looked like Kristi couldnt get a word in Bless 😀
hahaha... I love those "dad" jokes... lol there was an alternate ending by the way... We'll never know what it was though... I'm hoping DJI takes care of this really soon, buddy...
Ended up buying the DJI RC pro controller and 6 months later the right stick stopped working mid flight nearly caused the drone to crash so DJI is full of issues and their customer service sucks! You feel like you’re getting nowhere talking with people in India that can do little to help
Dang that’s terrible to hear, man. I’ve never had any problems causing me to return anything to DJI so I’ve not had any experience with their customer support personnel. Have you gotten things straightened out now? I’m really sorry for my late reply here. For some reason your comment was in the “held for review” tab and I don’t check that file very often. Lol. Weird. Anyway, I hope it’s all worked out, buddy and thanks for watching. God bless!
Thanks for watching, guys. There's a split consensus now though. Some people have brought up that iPhones will also dim in direct sunlight, too. We still believe the auto charge generates most of the heat though, but who knows? lol I do hope they add the auto charge option back soon though and we may have some answers... God bless you guys and thanks again!
Thanks for watching, buddy! I agree DJI needs to get this fixed really soon... I know this isn't a total solution, but it does help give us a few more minutes of flight time before the screen dims... It's more inconvenient than anything having to use these ice packs... lol God bless and thanks again for watching! Kevin and Kristi
Awesome, Brian!!! We hope this is something you can use. I take it you use the iPhone to fly your drone? Lol. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. It really means a lot to know people enjoy our videos and even more if they’re helpful. God bless and welcome to the channel!!! Kevin and Kristi
I phone gets dark because of operator error. Heck I don't know, I have a android. :) I have heard about people's phones getting hot. Again can't help you there but I am sure you will figure it out. Thanks for the video. Wow! you all almost have as many views as you do subs and you just put this out. I have a habit of looking at that on all videos and I don't see that very much. Cool! I,000 subs pretty soon!
lol... Nancy you may have figured out the issue here... I have a tendency of breaking things (Kristi agrees) haha... Hopefully they'll fix the charging option soon and this won't be a problem anymore... We really appreciate your amazing support and can't thank you enough for your kind words each week. We've definitely been blessed with the people joining the team lately for sure... God bless and thanks again, Nancy!!! :)
Great video Kevin and Kristi! I think for a lot of people this video will be helpful. :-) Hopefully DJI will fix this in another update. However, I must admit that I like the automatically charging function in the app. :D
haha... One guy replied best, "This idea is ridiculous but I like it." lol I'm hoping they fix it soon, too... I'm sure they will because I bet they're getting complaint after complaint...
Nice. I’d love to get a tablet of some sort for sure that doesn’t dim in the sunlight. The real tribe found since this video is just to stay out of the direct sunlight and it usually works out ok. It’s not always possible though. lol
Awesome! Thanks for watching guys. I hope they get it fixed soon. Then we can use these cold packs for what they’re meant for. Lol. God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Awesome comment!! For some reason my earlier reply to your comment here disappeared. Very strange but it's been happening a lot lately. We are really happy you enjoyed the video and want to welcome you to the channel... :) God bless and thanks for watching! Kevin and Kristi
Wow! What a great video and thanks for sharing this amazing tip and buy these ice packs! Will have to try this with ours. Excellent 👍🏼👍🏼 love the jokes!
lol... We like to have a good time... Thanks for watching and commenting again, guys... We know this isn't a fix but it's at least something that could help a little bit... God bless and stay safe up in them "hills" lol...
Hey guys!! All I’ve been hearing this last week is the new DJI update that automatically charges your phone. That’s where the heat comes from. Hopefully they fix it. God bless. 🇨🇦
I am using android phone, I usually turn on auto charging and set the brightness to highest. My phone gets hot easily and I found the better way is to remove the phone cover in order not to overheated. That's my two cents.
Very cool... Thanks for watching buddy... Maybe the iPhone gets warmer than the androids (possibly)... I tried taking my phone out of the case and that didn't really help.. I can't wait for DJI to give the option back though... It'll be a lot more fun to fly without thinking about it.... lol God bless!!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting... We know this isn't a permanent solution, but at least it's a place to start, eh? God bless and welcome to the channel :) Kevin and Kristi
Oh no!!! What update are you referring to? What kind of drone do you have and what happened??? Yes, I'm full of questions... lol Glad you said "almost" by the way... lol Thanks for watching and commenting... We really appreciate your support... God bless! Kevin and Kristi
You know, that is actually a really good idea... I wonder how long the towel would stay cool. The good thing about the ice packs is they came in a pack of 6 so when one gets warm you have more in reserve, but I guess you could do the same with a towel, eh? Thanks for the tip, Gary!!!! God bless, buddy... :) Kevin
For some reason my earlier reply to your comment here disappeared. Very strange but it's been happening a lot lately. I say you still need to go get a drone :) DJI has given us back the option to turn charging off and I flew the other day with no dim screen!!! It may be fixed but only time will tell... Either way, you need a drone.. lol
Simple, do NOT use crappy iPhone or Samsung, try the Huawei and you shall be surprised! Trust me, I used to have Samsung and iPhone, but now I have Huawei and I could NOT be happier! :)
Lol. Yea I hear that!!! Both definitely have their faults. I’ve honestly not heard of Huawei so I’ll have to dig into it. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!!! God bless. Kevin and Kristi
@@WeretheRoberts Youare very welcome! I bought my 2nd hand Huawei P20 PRO for $300 3 years ago and I am impressed, still using it! You can get it in the market for $280, do make sure that it is P20 Pro! Obviously you can get the newer version too like P30/P40 Pro, but they are more expensive!

Mine is Huawei P20 Pro, works for me, but not for everyone! By the way you can get Huawei P20, compatible, for only $220 CDN which is about $173 USD! :) I PROMISE that you shall NOT regret!
awesome!!! I'll definitely look into this, man.. . Thank you so much for all your help... Kristi and I keep telling each other there's gotta be a better way... dark screens, over heating problems, etc... they should be able to figure this stuff out before they release these $1200 phones, I'd think, eh?
Got some awesome news that DJI added the auto charge option back to the app for iOS users today!!! We really hope this option being back helps with the dim screen issue. Let us know how it works out for you!!! God bless you guys! Kevin and Kristi
03:10 LOL
I used to use my iPhone 12 when I first got my Mini2 but for the last 4 months have been using my Samsung Galaxy tab as its much better using a large screen than the phone and dont have this darkening screen problem thankfully.
Lol glad you liked that “joke”? Haha. You’re smart for using the galaxy tablet. We’ve been wanting a bigger screen for a while so we may have to look into that Samsung. I’ve had android phones in the past and it was ok. Cool info brother. Thanks!!!
@@WeretheRoberts My eye sight isn't great close up and having to put reading glasses on to see the iphone screen seemed risky so thought it was safer to have a bigger screen that was I dont need glasses and can keep an eye on the drone. the Samsung Galaxy tab 5e is just the right size. you just need a holder, after watching reviews I got the "PGYTECH Tablet Pad Holder Mount" and you also need a longer cable so I got a "LYONGTECH USB C to USB-C 11.8 Inch Nylon Braided Cable for DJI Mini 2".
Im very happy with this setup, nice big screen so you can see your footage, well worth it
@@comedyhunter ok very cool. I’ll look that up and let you know what we do. I’ve wanted a bigger screen since the first time I flew the drone. Imagine if we still had the iPhone 4! Lol.
@@WeretheRoberts yes once you have tried it you will not go back to using a phone screen. I had iPhone 3 !
I have the same problem when flying my drone and can’t see the screen well when flying, not sure how to fix it..
Thanks for watching and commenting, Casper. My phone still dims pretty much every flight. The ice packs do seem to help quite a bit but it’s just inconvenient sometimes lol. I’ve learned the dimming is mostly because of direct sunlight on the phone screen. For some reason the phone goes into protection mode and it’s almost impossible to see at times. I’ve learned to deal with it for the most part and mainly fly from sitting inside the vehicle now to avoid the sunlight. Fortunately being in the vehicle doesn’t seem to interfere with the signal either so it works out for the most part. Thanks again for watching and we hope this helps a little bit.
@@WeretheRoberts I found a video showing how to fix this problem.. 1) turn off notifications 2) in setting go to the battery icon and put it in low power.. this seems to fix the problem.. Thought I’d share the info with you and your fans..
Great idea 👍 I've had this problem when record long videos outside.
It's crazy how many people have said the same thing... I hope they fix this auto charge thing soon cause it's a lot more fun to fly when you don't have that dim screen looming over your head.... lol Thanks for watching, Brian! God bless... Kevin
Hi, thanks for the video and solution. My Mini 2 did exactly the same thing, but it was the hottest day ever in the UK.
Actually my iPhone does this just as I'm sat in the garden with the sun out. I've found that when I put the found down, I have to put it in the shade. I've started using it in the controller without a case on too.
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching and for the comment! We know this isn't the perfect 100% solution, but what it's done for us is allow us a little extra time before the screen goes dark. I've been taking the phone out of the case and using the sunshade, too ever since and it's all working together really well to help keep the phone cooler... It definitely gets annoying, eh? lol Hopefully it'll start cooling down a bit and we can use the phone like it's supposed to be used in the near future... God bless and thanks again for watching!!! Kevin and Kristi
@@WeretheRoberts We shouldn't have to be worrying about it going dark though. It's just unusable, even in the English summertime. It'll be freezing here soon anyway lol.
Thanks for the reply by the way, I'll try to find some time to watch some more of your videos :)
This is great, I live in Florida and have the same issues. Clicked on the link and ordered my packs!
lol very cool! We hope this helps you out as much as it seems to have helped us... We know it's not a total fix, but it'll definitely buy you some more flying time before the dreaded dim screen... Let us know how it goes!!! Thanks for watching, Stephen and welcome to the channel :) God bless!!!! Kevin and Kristi
They will arrive today. Will test today or tomorrow. Thanks again!
Very cool... DJI also just gave us back the option to turn off the auto charge feature which is awesome! We are still gonna bring the ice packs just in case though... :) Let us know!!!
@@WeretheRoberts thanks! I’m still going to carry mine as well. I tested out the ice packs, in the Everglades heat. Gave me about 25% more time. Until it dims to much.
LOL @ Kristy's face when you said be careful with the icepacks as the phone may freeze! ~ Shion and Matthew
hahaha!! yea, that was classic... thanks for watching, guys! lol
Nicely made video. Great work. Here is my support. Good luck with your channel.
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. We appreciate your support more than you know. God bless and welcome to the channel. :) Kevin and Kristi
Okay, I should have watched this video before commenting on the last one about the iPhone screen darkening, and how to prevent it from overheating. That's a great idea about the ice packs! I'll have to try that! Thanks for another great video, and Hi to Kristi!
Haha. That’s hilarious, Gary. This did work for us for sure but an even better solution I try now is just to stay out of the direct sunlight. That seems to be the biggest culprit. Even in the shade the screen still dims sometimes so it’s not a perfect solution though.
Thank you sir! The cold pacs fixed the problem. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and there is still room to fit the ice pack between the phone and the controller. I use a Yeti 16 ounce tumbler with lid to keep the ice packs cold when out in the field.
Oh wow that’s awesome!!! We know it’s not a fix but it definitely helps keep the dim screen away a little longer. Lol. Thank you so much for watching and letting us know it was helpful. That’s great to hear. God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Thank you for the hint from Budapest (Hungary)! ❤
Oh awesome! Welcome to the channel, buddy. Have you had problems with your phone dimming?
@@WeretheRobertsYes and yesterday I ordered the mini cooling bags you advised. Sadly new iPhones dim they screen to 25% brightness if overheeted.
Very cool. Keep us in the loop whether they help or it. Our iPhone 11 seems to dim all the time. It doesn’t even have to be sunny! Lol. It gets annoying for sure.
Cool couple telling about the cold packs!
Haha.. Let's not get carried away, Chris... My favorite part of the whole video was Kristi's face saying, "You're anything but cool," when I told that awesome dad joke!!! lol
@@WeretheRoberts her face does tell things for sure! LOL
Great tip! I'm using a Samsung galaxy s10 so running android, not noticed my screen dim but the phone does get quite hot!🔥😯
No need for an ice pack here in the UK our summer temps are guaranteed to keep the phone cool. ⚠️😯😊
lol the Florida heat is no match for an iPhone apparently... Hopefully you don't have the issue in the future. It's not as much fun flying with this possibility looming over your head.... lol It'll all work out soon though, hopefully.. God bless and thanks for watching, buddy !
Great work as ever, This is becoming a bit of a regular watch for us now :)
Very cool! That's what we like to hear... :) Thanks for watching and for your awesome channel support, guys... This one wasn't one of those "I can watch over and over again" videos, but it's an idea... lol God bless and thanks again!! Kevin and Kristi
Very good informative video as always guys 👍👍
Awesome comment, guys. We know it’s not a solution but at least it’s a start. lol. The last thing I need is to lose the screen mid flight and crash. Lol.
Its really warm in Florida,wow thats a good idea using that ice pack for your iPhone to cool off,it really help.Thanks for sharing this good idea very helpful
Yea it’s a little toasty. Lol. Thanks for watching, Ding, and for your awesome comment. We hope this helps some people like it’s seemed to help us. We know it’s not a solution but it’s kind of a band aid. Lol. God bless and thanks again!
Nice info guys. Have a nice weekend. Happy 4th
Very cool... Thanks for watching, guys... We know this isn't a permanent solution but at least it's a start.. lol God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
I havent had this problem with my galaxy but I also don't have the DJI drone. My issue with overheating is with my gopro. The little ice packs are neat though.
haha... Well, you should get the DJI Mini 2, buddy... You'd love it!!! Very cool little drone for sure. Our GoPro does the same overheating thing, too.. Especially with the wind muff on it... Sometimes with it on my chest, it'll only last about 3 or 4 minutes then shut itself off from overheating... Maybe we should move to a colder state... lol Thanks for watching, Larry and God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Wonder if we should get these for playing Pokémon Go
Lol. They definitely help. It’s not a cure all though. The iPhone went dim on me just the other day. Booooo!!!
Well...that's of course helpful when the phone goes dark....I found out that my the position marker / height and distance figures do not work anymore once the IPhone space is full. Ever since I made that experience, I only record on the SD card. Thanks for the video!
Oh wow, I hadn't heard that before.... My phone became full only once when I was actually flying but I never even noticed the figures stopped working... That could get confusing, eh? Let's hope DJI gives us back the charging option soon so at least we have one less thing to think about... lol God bless and thanks for watching, buddy... Kevin
Congrats on 500 subscribers! I don't have an iPhone, or even any phone that's capable of running the DJI Fly app. (I use hand-me-down phones from the kids, with an old version of Android. LOL) I ended up buying a cheap Samsung tablet to fly the Mini 2. Thankfully no overheating/dimming problems for me. :-)
Thanks for the congrats, brother!! We really appreciate you noticing that.... And we are glad you haven't had this issue yourself. A lot of people on here have been mentioning the Samsung tablets and swear they're worth their weight in gold. (hand me down phones was funny lol)... I've been looking at them online to see if it's something we could do and it's looking promising. iPads are way too expensive right now, eh? This issue definitely makes it a lot more nerve racking to fly that's for sure... Thanks again for watching, buddy! God bless!
The cold pack was a really good idea.
One guy commented, "This idea is ridiculous. I like it!" lol That was hilarious... I hope you don't have this problem when you get yours up and running, buddy... There's some people now who believe there's a different issue though saying the direct sunlight will dim the iPhone screens, too. Enough about that though... lol Have you gotten yours yet?
Been using mini gel packs since your tip came out. It’s the only way I can fly here in Pensacola. I’m hoping the new DJI RC with the screen will have Mini 2 compatibility soon. I have one in the cart at DJI ready to buy as soon as they announce it. Gene
hahaha... Yea those gel packs still work well for us, too but guess what! The cooler temperatures are on the way and I'm looking forward to that... We just had Hurricane Ian come through yesterday and the temps cooled down this morning to the low 60s.. It's pretty awesome... lol
We have a screen to block the sun.... and we use a small iPad instead of our phone. Thank you for putting this info up. ~ Brad and Diana
Hey guys! The screens definitely help with glare for sure and I use mine a lot. We've not heard of many iPads dimming but it's happened a few times from what we've been told. Well, DJI has given us the option back to turn off charging and it seems to help. They actually listened! lol We've been thinking of going android with a Samsung tablet just for the drone. It would be awesome to have a bigger screen!!! God bless and thanks for watching, guys... :) Kevin and Kristi
Where's the background music? Hank Williams "Your Cold Cold Heart"? "It will be a cold day in...". "Baby It's Cold Outside". "Cold Ft Worth Beer Ain't No Good For Jealous". Ok OK, I'll stop. But IT IS a really COOL idea. My iPhone got too hot to hold a couple of days ago and I wasn't anywhere near my DJI Controller. Kristi, like my wife, is a VERY patient woman. We are blessed! Keep spreading the joy. Gary
Haaaa!!! That's hilarious! So many songs, so little time... lol Yes, Kristi is very patient but she says I talk too much.. I don't see it... lol Thanks for watching, Gary. Your comments always make us laugh.. God bless!!!
The information in this video is amazing. Was the phone cold to the touch...
haha... it was only cold to the touch for about 5 minutes then it was cool to the touch... It was then warm to the touch after I crashed the drone... yes, I crashed again... lol
Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for watching, Dr. Bob! Yea, we know this isn't a solution for the long term but it's at least something to help... God bless and thanks again!! Kevin
A very cool idea!👍👍👍Many thanks !🤝🤝
Awesome! thanks for watching, buddy... We know this isn't a total solution but at least it's a start.. lol Let's hope DJI fixes the app soon... God bless! Kevin and Kristi
I have the mini and an android phone the phone will get a little warm but not to bad thanks for the info
We've not heard many androids having the issue but there have been a few who say they get the dim screen as well. Mostly it affects iPhones from what we've seen and heard. Glad you haven't had this issue!!! It makes things way too interesting for my taste... lol God bless and thanks again for watching, guys... Kevin
My phone does the same thing! To be fair mine is super old and I got it used from my father in law, so it had a long life already lol. Great info, friends! -Ang
There’s been so many people saying they’ve had the issue too. I guess there’s no phone age discrimination here. Lol. I’m thinking with as many complaints as been made it’ll be fixed soon. God bless, kids!!
Maybe something to do with the update mate with the screen thanks for the watch
Hi Graham nothing to do with the latest update, they took the option to charge switch off a few updates ago.👍
Yea a few updates ago they took away the iOS option to turn off charging so now it charges continuously. Created a lot of heat. We are really hoping they get another update out soon that fixes that. We’ve seen hundreds of people commenting on other videos about having the same problem. We know this is more of a method to help not get the dim screen so quick rather than a fix but it seems to help us. Thanks Graham and God bless!!!
Support always given :) Like and have a nice day 😉👍
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting... Welcome to the channel!!! God bless... Kevin and Kristi
I have an iPhone 12 but I use my galaxy note 9 for drone! However mate we don't get hot as its not hot in uk lol 😆 😜 funny but when I was in florida my old HTC would have an absolute meltdown 1 min into finling anything
Haha dad joke!!!
For some reason my reply to your comment here disappeared. Very strange but it's been happening a lot lately. If you didn't see it, I'll try to recreate it... lol Dad jokes rule, eh? We've seen a lot of people commenting about Samsung notebooks and tablets and they really seem to love them. We've been looking at them and may take the plunge eventually... :) God bless you guys!!! Kevin and Kristi
@@WeretheRoberts hi the comments vanishing seems to be getting very common. I have no idea why they keep vanishing. Somebody messaged me yesterday and it had vanished but I spotted it then I I clicked on it, it vanished again! Its not me deleting them so no idea. Yes the android note 9 is great 👍
Mine does it too. However, I don’t need a phone to fly my drone. My controller has a high resolution and high brightness screen built into the controller. I know there are pros and cons to this controller, but for my application, I haven’t had an issue so far. I fly the DJI Phantom 4 Pro plus. Thanks Kevin, for the insightful information.
Ah you are a lucky man. Lol. It’s definitely a pain and could have bad outcomes in flights so they need to really get it fixed soon. There’s always something in their updates that’s wrong. Lol. I’d like to fly the phantom 4 pro. I bet you don’t have any problems seeing it from a good distance, eh?
Awesome idea!!! I'm gonna try it since I live in SE Georgia and I have experienced the exact same issue when I was flying at Cocoa Beach. Thank you for sharing this!!!
Oh cool, Mike. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope it helps you as much as it seems to have helped us. It’s not a cure and the dim screen is only a few degrees away. Lol. Someone else mentioned a concern of maybe some condensation building up inside the phone and I never thought of that. I would hope the phones heat would take care of that before it became an issue but I’m not an electronics expert by any means. Thanks again and God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Great and easy solution 👌
Thanks, Ozzy!!! We know it's not a total solution but it's a start... There's too many people having this issue for it to not be fixed soon, right? lol Thanks for watching, buddy and God bless...
I have a Samsung s20 Fe international version that's important because it doesn't use the Snapdragon processor and runs hotter. On my first day of flying my Samsung got so hot it began to switch the apps off. it switched the DJI fly app off which triggered the "Return to Home" function luckily I had it set up good enough to get back but for a long 4 minutes I was wondering if I was ever going to see my drone again.
Wow that’s something I’ve never even heard about. I had no idea phone’s using different processors could act that way. Now there’s one more thing to worry about!!!! Lol. Glad the RTH worked, buddy. It’s pretty amazing how well it does. It’ll make you panic I bet to lose it that way. Thanks for watching and commenting, Todd. I’m not sure if this is related but Kristi drives a Hyundai Santa Fe. Lol. God bless!!!!
Super! Nice video 😊 liked & subscribed, thanks for sharing this video 👍
Very cool, buddy! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Welcome to the channel!!! We've found out since this video DJI brought back the option to turn off auto charging for the iOS devices and it seems to help a little bit. It's not the 100% solution we were looking for, but it's way better than it was for sure... God bless and again thank you for your support... :) Kevin and Kristi
Eve since I updated 1.4.8 this issues with dim screen on iPhone 12 Pro. Was not happening before I would fly upto 5 batteries in a row no issue. Now 5 min flight screen dims 😡
Thanks for watching, Shawn!!! I know the feeling. Lol. We would fly all of our batteries dead before and the screen would be fine. They added the option to turn off charging back to iOS users a couple days ago and I flew the next day with no screen problem. I didn’t fly long but it seemed to help for sure. The phone wasn’t nearly as warm and the screen stayed as bright as could be. Granted I wasn’t in full 100% sun at the time cause of clouds but that didn’t seem to matter before. It would still go dim. Time will tell if it’s fixed but for our last flight all seemed ok. God bless and we hope yours gets better buddy. Let us know if it does. :) Kevin
Great video guys...i wouldnt want to use anything which condensates though...lol...like icepacks as might drip into the port which holds the monitor cable....and that could be a big NO-NO....or OHHH Nooooooooooooooo :) love you two...God bless....
Haha, yea that really oughta be a concern and I didn't think of that. We've used them quite a bit now though and they don't seem to condensate too much. The Florida heat just sucks the cool right out of them.... lol Thanks for the heads up on that, brother... I'll make sure to try and keep the controller level as much as possible to keep the potential drips out of the cable port... They added the option to turn off auto charge back to the DJI Fly app and I've flown once since then with no overheating issues. I wasn't in direct sunlight so I'm not 100% convinced yet, but we plan on flying again Friday so hopefully that'll be the test that confirms we are good. We used to be able to drain all of our batteries and had no dimming problems so I'm really certain it's caused by the app somehow. How would everyone's iPhones suddenly develop an issue all at once? lol I'm not the smartest person in the room (and I'm alone which is weird) and even I can figure that out... haha God bless!!! Love you, too, man... Be safe and thanks again for the tip! Kevin
@@WeretheRoberts welp...the Florida heat doesn't seem to suck the cool outta you two🤗only adds to it😁love y'all...God bless...
The best video . Thanks guys
lol... Thanks for watching, Gary. We are really happy that you enjoyed the video and took the time to comment... It really means a lot to us... God bless!!!! Kevin and Kristi
Very Cool, maybe DJI will return the turn off charging button back in the app soon. Love the videos, originality plus some comedy!
Yea DJI needs to stand up and get it done for sure. Thanks for watching and for your awesome support. You’re always so positive and upbeat. Thank you for that. :) We do our best to get some funny stuff in there cause laughter is priceless, eh? God bless!
Very good channel and useful video thanks for sharing video
Awesome! Thanks for watching and we hope it helps. God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Interesting, we have the heat/dim problem when our iphones in waterproof cases when we’re kayaking. Dipping the cases in the water helps, lol. Take care - Michelle & Brian
nice suggestion friend, thank you for the tip
Very cool! Thanks for watching and we hope it helps out. Hopefully DJI bringing back the option to turn off charging helps out a lot, too. 😄 God bless and thanks again for watching. Kevin and Kristi
You might need to watch out about the moisture that might be created by having the temperature difference on the back of the phone. It might create condensation inside the phone. Just a thought.
Ahhh that’s a great point, buddy. Do you think with such a small ice pack there would be an issue or would the heat inside the phone take care of it? I definitely wouldn’t suggest doing this with every flight lol. I honestly have no idea
Sounds great advice mate I have no problem with my android phone mate great video guys don 🤠🇬🇧👍👍👍👍
Very cool that you’re not having issues, man. I’m hoping it’s fixed really soon but I’m not in that loop. Lol. I do have an older LG Android phone. I wonder if I should give it a try. It’s about 5 or 6 years older so it may not be up to date for the app though. I’ll look into it. You’re not the first android user to say that. Lol. Got bless and thanks for watching!!!!
Nice one folks. This is a massive issue, and is a safety issue too. With the number of people I've seen talking about this over the past week, I'm pretty confident that DJI will release a fix very soon :)
Yea, we agree. DJI seems pretty in tune with their customers so I'm hoping it's really soon they get a fix... It seems like this complaints taken youtube over.. at least in the videos we watch.. haha.. Thanks for watching, Robert!!! I've been working on my Scottish accent but Kristi won't let me record it... Wonder why? haha.. God bless!
Agree!
Well done you two and a nice get around👍. My Android phone and tablet get very warm as well. My phone is the worst because it's newer and has a bigger processor, and I do agree that DJI needs to fix this issue and soon!! Thanks Again, Happy 4th and God Bless, Dave
It’s weird that some androids are being affected too, eh? A lot of android users are laughing at us iOS guys. Lol. I know you’d never do that to us, Dave. Haha. If you hear of an update for this let me know cause We are totally out of the loop on that stuff. I hope it’s soon!!! DJI seems pretty good though so I’m sure it’ll work out eventually. God bless and happy 4th back.
@@WeretheRoberts Kevin and Kristi, around 57 seconds into the video you have all those comments popping up, which looks really cool😎. I just wanted to ask how you did that or what video editing software you are using to do that? Thanks Dave
Kristi here...I believe all editing software has this ability, no matter which one you're using. Those comment posts are all pictures that are stacked on a separate track. This section of our video is 14 tracks high, including the music track for the sound effect of the pop, kind of ridiculous but it works. I stacked the first one then four frames later started the next and so on, the last one I started at 11 frames later, it just sounded right to me. You can hear the delayed pop at the end for the last picture.
*For each track line, video clip or picture you place, the one on top always becomes the primary one you see in the viewing window. Now up in the viewing window when that picture or clip is showing you can click on it and you should see little dots in the corners you can grab to stretch it or pull the corner down to shrink the picture. When shrinking the picture or clip you want you will see that the track from the line below shows underneath, (like us in the truck footage from track line one). I shrunk them all down one at a time and positioned them kind of randomly, you can place them anywhere you want. Then you can add your sound effects to the music track line and position them at the beginning of each picture or where you want. If you make a mistake like I always do just hit the back button. The back button controls the viewing window as well. We have other apps for music and sound effects because our editing program is limited in that area. Hopefully I explained this alright, I'm better at showing it. God Bless Kristi
@@WeretheRoberts Kristi, very good explanation thanks a lot. I was hoping there was a program out there where you wouldn't have to stack 14 or 15 videos but, I guess not. There are times on some of my videos I end up stacking 8 to 10 with vidoes, titles, effects and elements but, I've never used that many. FYI, I am using filmora X and now the new version 10.5.
In my humble opinion, you're doing an awesome job! Thanks again, Happy 4th and God Bless You Both.
Filmora is what we use, I have a little trick too, I don't detach audio at all. The video clip that you want to detach audio from, just double click it go to compositing and slide the 100% bar to zero opacity, whatever is above that track if it's video you can mute. I don't get that accidental shift if it stays down in the music track line and no need to reattach. It just saves a little time. Kristi
The iPhone 11 is notorious for going dark on the screen as the battery goes down. There should be a setting in the app to allow charging or not allow. IOS is the only one that gives you that option. Android automatically charges and that draws down the battery on your remote control faster. But that's dealing with the Mavic 2 Pro.
Well the DJI fly app also took away the option to turn charging for iPhones too now so it constantly charges just like androids. A few updates ago is when this happened and it’s been a nightmare ever since. Boo!!! Lol
Great video Kevin, your channel is so informative. Like # 62!!!!
Thanks, man! This was definitely a different solution... lol We know it's not a permanent solution, but at least it was a start.. Good news is they gave us the charging option back yesterday!!! Now we just have to go test it out.. lol God bless and thanks for the awesome support!!! Kevin :)
Great info and great work , beautiful graphics, God bless🤝👍👍👍
Thanks, buddy!!! I hope we were able to come across as we know this isn't a total solution but it could help prevent the screen from dimming so quickly during the flight... God bless!!! Thanks again.... :)
I'm sure this video will help lots of people how's flaying Drone's Thanks for sharing Kevin happy 4th guys 👊🍻
Thanks for watching and for the encouraging words, Gary... :) We hope it helps some people out but it's definitely not a solution... DJI needs to get this fixed soon... God bless!!!

How to Keep Your Phone Cool when Flying the DJI Mini 2 / iPhone Dim Screen / DJI Fly App Auto Charge!
Such brightful idea for this. This is an enjoyable product!
You made my day fabulous with this.
✅👍🏻
👀🔥
Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment. :) Welcome to the channel and we hope this may have helped you guys out a little bit. Do you have the Mini 2? Thanks again and God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Thats a "COOL" solution guys... Pun intended! good work, good temporary fix for anyone suffering with this problem. Keep safe you 👍 oh... and it looked like Kristi couldnt get a word in Bless 😀
hahaha... I love those "dad" jokes... lol there was an alternate ending by the way... We'll never know what it was though... I'm hoping DJI takes care of this really soon, buddy...
@@WeretheRoberts Absolutely...they need to get their finger out
Ended up buying the DJI RC pro controller and 6 months later the right stick stopped working mid flight nearly caused the drone to crash so DJI is full of issues and their customer service sucks! You feel like you’re getting nowhere talking with people in India that can do little to help
Dang that’s terrible to hear, man. I’ve never had any problems causing me to return anything to DJI so I’ve not had any experience with their customer support personnel. Have you gotten things straightened out now? I’m really sorry for my late reply here. For some reason your comment was in the “held for review” tab and I don’t check that file very often. Lol. Weird. Anyway, I hope it’s all worked out, buddy and thanks for watching. God bless!
Good tip. We've had similar problems. 👍#56
Thanks for watching, guys. There's a split consensus now though. Some people have brought up that iPhones will also dim in direct sunlight, too. We still believe the auto charge generates most of the heat though, but who knows? lol I do hope they add the auto charge option back soon though and we may have some answers... God bless you guys and thanks again!
Thanks mate!! Cool video...🥶 I hope DJI resolves this asap! 🤛
Thanks for watching, buddy! I agree DJI needs to get this fixed really soon... I know this isn't a total solution, but it does help give us a few more minutes of flight time before the screen dims... It's more inconvenient than anything having to use these ice packs... lol God bless and thanks again for watching! Kevin and Kristi
Genius. Thank you
Awesome, Brian!!! We hope this is something you can use. I take it you use the iPhone to fly your drone? Lol. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. It really means a lot to know people enjoy our videos and even more if they’re helpful. God bless and welcome to the channel!!! Kevin and Kristi
I phone gets dark because of operator error. Heck I don't know, I have a android. :) I have heard about people's phones getting hot. Again can't help you there but I am sure you will figure it out. Thanks for the video.
Wow! you all almost have as many views as you do subs and you just put this out. I have a habit of looking at that on all videos and I don't see that very much. Cool! I,000 subs pretty soon!
lol... Nancy you may have figured out the issue here... I have a tendency of breaking things (Kristi agrees) haha... Hopefully they'll fix the charging option soon and this won't be a problem anymore... We really appreciate your amazing support and can't thank you enough for your kind words each week. We've definitely been blessed with the people joining the team lately for sure... God bless and thanks again, Nancy!!! :)
Great video Kevin and Kristi! I think for a lot of people this video will be helpful. :-) Hopefully DJI will fix this in another update. However, I must admit that I like the automatically charging function in the app. :D
haha... One guy replied best, "This idea is ridiculous but I like it." lol I'm hoping they fix it soon, too... I'm sure they will because I bet they're getting complaint after complaint...
That’s a shame dji won’t do anything about this. This idea is ridiculous 😂 but I like it 👍🏼
I agree with everything you say. Lol. That’s hilarious.
Get your Galaxy s24 Ultra it has a super bright screen and it stays on even in the bright sunlight you can see everything
Nice. I’d love to get a tablet of some sort for sure that doesn’t dim in the sunlight. The real tribe found since this video is just to stay out of the direct sunlight and it usually works out ok. It’s not always possible though. lol
Great recommendations!
Awesome! Thanks for watching guys. I hope they get it fixed soon. Then we can use these cold packs for what they’re meant for. Lol. God bless!!! Kevin and Kristi
Very good idea
Awesome comment!! For some reason my earlier reply to your comment here disappeared. Very strange but it's been happening a lot lately. We are really happy you enjoyed the video and want to welcome you to the channel... :) God bless and thanks for watching! Kevin and Kristi
Wow! What a great video and thanks for sharing this amazing tip and buy these ice packs! Will have to try this with ours. Excellent 👍🏼👍🏼 love the jokes!
lol... We like to have a good time... Thanks for watching and commenting again, guys... We know this isn't a fix but it's at least something that could help a little bit... God bless and stay safe up in them "hills" lol...
Hey guys!! All I’ve been hearing this last week is the new DJI update that automatically charges your phone. That’s where the heat comes from. Hopefully they fix it. God bless. 🇨🇦
I know!!! Hopefully DJI gets tired of hearing about it, too. Lol. God bless you as well, Jim.
I am using android phone, I usually turn on auto charging and set the brightness to highest. My phone gets hot easily and I found the better way is to remove the phone cover in order not to overheated. That's my two cents.
Very cool... Thanks for watching buddy... Maybe the iPhone gets warmer than the androids (possibly)... I tried taking my phone out of the case and that didn't really help.. I can't wait for DJI to give the option back though... It'll be a lot more fun to fly without thinking about it.... lol God bless!!!
Nice⬆️💚
Awesome!! Thanks for watching and commenting, Razvan. Have you had problems with your phone overheating?
Cool
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting... We know this isn't a permanent solution, but at least it's a place to start, eh? God bless and welcome to the channel :) Kevin and Kristi

Awesome!!! Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching. God bless! Kevin and Kristi
I didn’t even get an update and today I almost lost my Drome
Oh no!!! What update are you referring to? What kind of drone do you have and what happened??? Yes, I'm full of questions... lol Glad you said "almost" by the way... lol Thanks for watching and commenting... We really appreciate your support... God bless! Kevin and Kristi
frozen cold towel
You know, that is actually a really good idea... I wonder how long the towel would stay cool. The good thing about the ice packs is they came in a pack of 6 so when one gets warm you have more in reserve, but I guess you could do the same with a towel, eh? Thanks for the tip, Gary!!!! God bless, buddy... :) Kevin
*I need a drone.....dark screen..HMMMMMM. I have had my super hot*
For some reason my earlier reply to your comment here disappeared. Very strange but it's been happening a lot lately. I say you still need to go get a drone :) DJI has given us back the option to turn charging off and I flew the other day with no dim screen!!! It may be fixed but only time will tell... Either way, you need a drone.. lol
Simple, do NOT use crappy iPhone or Samsung, try the Huawei and you shall be surprised! Trust me, I used to have Samsung and iPhone, but now I have Huawei and I could NOT be happier! :)
Lol. Yea I hear that!!! Both definitely have their faults. I’ve honestly not heard of Huawei so I’ll have to dig into it. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!!! God bless. Kevin and Kristi
@@WeretheRoberts Youare very welcome! I bought my 2nd hand Huawei P20 PRO for $300 3 years ago and I am impressed, still using it! You can get it in the market for $280, do make sure that it is P20 Pro! Obviously you can get the newer version too like P30/P40 Pro, but they are more expensive!
@@hasanghodrati7326 oh cool. Do you use it to fly the drone? It may be a good option to buy and have it dedicated to just the drone, eh?
@@WeretheRoberts The Huawei phones compatible with DJI Mini2 are: HUAWEI P40 Pro，HUAWEI P30 Pro，HUAWEI P30，HUAWEI P20，HUAWEI P10，HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro，HUAWEI Mate 10，HUAWEI nova 5，HUAWEI nova 4，HUAWEI nova 3e. Mine is Huawei P20 Pro, works for me, but not for everyone! By the way you can get Huawei P20, compatible, for only $220 CDN which is about $173 USD! :) I PROMISE that you shall NOT regret!
awesome!!! I'll definitely look into this, man.. . Thank you so much for all your help... Kristi and I keep telling each other there's gotta be a better way... dark screens, over heating problems, etc... they should be able to figure this stuff out before they release these $1200 phones, I'd think, eh?
