I really appreciate that! Honestly my channel is still small in comparison but I try read and reply to everyone and help out as much as I can! Comments like this make it worthwhile! Thank you
Thanks alot. Works perfect. We android users can also change the function button now what we can do with tap and dubble tap. And same with the compass mine is also like you said. The drone is in front of me but it shows I'm on the side. Thanks for the great videos and keep it up.
Hi Gavin Just for reference it never came up as an automatic update on my Iphone I had to open the app in the app store it then said update. Also there has been reports that it may have changed battery 🔋 performance so be good if you could report from your opinion if it has changed Neil
Hi Neil, yes I tried that also but nope nothing ! In fact if you visit that page on the DJI site on a pc or laptop It shows the Google play version as 1.2.1 still :) I will check it out and report back, all I will say is wind conditions and temperature etc altitude are all variables so just like another video I gather most of seen it will be nothing more than opinion only as it would be very hard to compare before and after without going back to the old app and running a near similar flight
I think so. The compass is very much dividing opinion it seems, some want the old one back but others like myself like the new one as the old one never worked!
I had read somewhere that there was an update but couldn't find it. Thanks now I know how to get it. You said it was "Calm" down there, wish it was like that here, it's blowing a hoolie.
Don't forget to update the Mini 2's Firmware!!! It has the best new features wish I wished it would have! 2.7K 60fps and more, much more! Yeeeeeeeeey!! Update the firmware guys, it's so awesome now! Sweet Keep well and be safe everyone!
@@GAVINHR so best not to recharge after each flight but to leave the battery at 20% power then recharge before flight as I use mavic mini and a mavic air 2. Great videos keep putting them up. Can you do video on batters as still unshore about charging them. Thx
Yes I will try to put something together, yes exactly! Try store them on maybe 1 or 2 light - I know I don't but because I do these videos for RUclips sometimes I have to grab the moment and can't wait for them to charge up
@@GAVINHR why shouldn't you charge them at once? Lipo batteries doesn't have problems with that, do they? And when a battery nowadays indicates "fully discharged" it isn't actually at absolute electrical minimum. As long as you use the dedicated "charging box" the smart electronics should take care of everything. At least that's what I can get from researching battery tech of today, am I wrong?
Hi Benny, basically the suggestion is that lipo batteries don't like to be stored full but as I mentioned above I always do as they self discharge so no you're absolutely correct
My updates come onto my Samsung automatically - about 3 to 10 days after the start of the roll-out - but it is always inconvenient to get on location and then have to wait for it. It's very useful to have a method for preempting the process when you know an update is on its way. I wonder if it will fix the aircraft orientation display problems that have dogged DJI Fly all year?
Yeah for some reason it's available on iOS, available on the DJI site as an APK but on Google play it's still the old version but since you know it's coming you can just get it from there 😀 yes I hope to see how it performs actually because as you know the original compass was useless for me
Don't forget to try and use the new aircraft attitude indicator to see if I'm right about the gimbal and camera tilt thing! If the attitude of aircraft is at the direction of the tilt then that proves me point.. PS: about the previous compass type thing that was showing you if you're facing the drone, that also was not working for me hey! I'd point to the drone and it would show totally off most of the times hey.. The new compass and aircraft attitude indicator are really really accurate for the both the Mavic Mini and the Mini 2 for me! I'm very happy about that, but especially about the aircraft attitude indicator. This indicator can finally help us solve the gimbal, camera tilt issues... You're smart and I know you'll be able to use it to see figure it out! Sweet Keep well and be safe bro!
@@GAVINHR yeah, I also have the new compass figured out hey! LOL!!! So it turns out that you are visible on the compass as a lil blue dot!! This lil blue dot has a lil arrow on it! This lil arrow should be pointing towards the center of the compass where the drone is.. Sweet Keep well and be safe hommez. 🛸🌍🌃🇧🇬😁
@@GAVINHR Yo yo to, please Update your Mini 2's Firmware!!! It has new awesome awesome features!!! 2.7K 60fps and pic zoom and much more! Sweet Keep well and be safe bro!
Thank you, this helped me understand why my brand new Mavic Air 2S wouldn't work. I had DJI Fly for my older Mavic Air, but when I tried to connect my new Air 2S the app would say "RC not connected to aircraft" and nothing would work to fix the problem.... Until I deleted the app and installed the version from DJI's website. Such a stupid and silly problem!!!
It is funny that the app is fixing it instead of the firmware... although it can be, just doesn't make much sense to me... Have you tried the 1.2.2. App with the mini1? Does it drain battery, as some reported? The compass issue with the older version can be partially improved, if you do a couple of "eights" with the phone attached to the remote (talking about the mini1 and it's original remote, of course... but I imagine you can do it too with the mini2). The eights will help the phone's compass calibration, while there are some magnetic forces from the remote. There are some tutorials on how to do that...
Yeah I have done that many times, it works for half the flight then just goes off again sadly! I only did that app this morning and sadly it's still not the weather to be flying so if looks like I will try again tomorrow ! And no , although it has been suggested the "app" fixes the problem, surely only a drone firmware update can do that?
Was about to take off this morning and suddenly there was a new firmware update for mini 2. I will still check the version but nobody has mentioned this. Has there also been a firmware update in the last 24 hours? I checked last night for updates but none then...
I did a range test along the coastline sea straight after and it certainly retained prefect connectivity throughout in an area where I used to get a couple of aircraft interference warnings. Wonder if there was an improvement in connectivity? Its an area with some wifi, but it's a perfect day here.
@@apkossowski I will have to reserve judgement on the connection, I didn't seem to have a good connection today but it was a new area for me to fly in.
I know I got to register the drone from the 1st of January now do you know if I'm gonna have to pay 3 times because I got the mini 1&2 and now I'm getting the mavic air 2 I just went on the caa site and I'm a little confused because it says register your drone but I'll have 3 wondered if you have any knowledge on this gavin thanks paul 😀
Hi Paul, sorry it took so long! No just one £9 covers you as a flyer you don't need to do it for all three drones ! Judy label all three with your I.D and you're good to go
Hi, I'm looking to get the mini 2 but not sure what android phone or tablet to get that will be the least trouble free, can you recommend one please, what do you use? thanks regards, David
I seen that yesterday from someone else on RUclips and he flew his hes in the UK as well and he reakons it did work the gimble but what he did say it no is draining the battery so not sure if I'll download it. But while ya there I'm noticing that when I'm recording on mini 2 its only doing 4 gb of recording then starts again I know recording is in auto but any idea what that could be. Thanks gavin 😀
Was it the Disney five? He has a very good mini 2 channel, I hope what he said is true however from my own personal experience I need to test it as the part of the flight where he said it the gimbal was tilted down and it is much less susceptible to it when it is tilted down, and also the speed of the front at time of changing was low so I wouldn't expect to see it in all honesty but I will check for myself and report back! And yes that is correct, on my card it is 3.8gb then it will start recording another file ... This is completely normal 😊
4gb at a time, depends on formatting? Ex-FAT usual,but?? Mind you if formatted in the drone, then, just the way it is. I know my old vlogging helmet cams were doing that, but, relatively seamless.
I always format drone before every flight I was just curious as some people fly there mini 2 with 25 minutes and it's seamless just thought I was doing something wrong cheers anyway. Did you manage to fly today gavin 😀
I did my best to fly today but sadly not! Simply too many walkers about to do it safely in all of my usual countryside spots and since I always want to comply and fly safely it wasn't possible so I will be out tomorrow early to try see if it fixes it
I think that the way it splits a recording into multiple files might be a sort of safety feature - if one file gets corrupted somehow you haven't lost the whole lot
Thanks for this Gavin. Was looking on Play earlier for the update. Hopefully it solves some of the gimbal issues. Will be taking mine out this week (hopefully tomorrow) on the South Pennines so will report back as to any problems.
I'd really like to know, I didn't manage to get out and fly today, I'm not sure how an app only could fix it I would of thought it would need firmware but we will see! Indeed some people of told me it has worked so let's hope so!
I agree with you. Since it was covered on another channel and claimed that the app fixes it unfortunately people seem to think it will therefore I am looking to get the app version to check the theory for myself. I also believe it's firmware not an app but we will see
@@GAVINHR As a musician using electronic instruments and software I'm used to firmware issues when a product is released. The main differentiator between manufacturers is how they respond to these problems. I do get the feeling that utilising the existing gimbal from the Mavic Mini but upgrading other parts of the Mini 2 may be stressing the original design, a bit like trying to run Premier on an i3 with 4Gb of memory. Yes it will run but..... Hopefully I can be proved wrong.
Hi. I got my mavic mini 2 today. I have tried EVERYTHING to connect my Samsung Note 9 with it (which in DJI page says it´s supported) and it will simply wont connect. I tried with even with and ipad mini 2 and it worked so is not the phone. Any thought how can I fix this? :(. Thanks
The new DJI fly app is not compatible with my Huawei Mate 8 although my Android version is 7!! So is there going to be an update for me too?? Or I have to change my phone?
Thanks for that myself also into cars hence my channel lol and funny enough I just bought the Mini 2 so newbie tobthis game! Awesome videos many thanks
I'm still new to my dji mini 2 se but I flew my drone tonight and my djy fly app the screen went blank for about 3 seconds then screen came back I'm using a APK version plus it says firmware update will it be that as I'm new or download the one you said on your video but I will test it next time see if it was the update can you help thanks
Good question! I don't think so either! But since another RUclipsr has reported an ap update fixes it I've had a lot of people tell me that it does so I will test it for myself no matter how unlikely I find it
All these ppl doing reviews on Dji mini It would've been great if they would've let ppl know you can't download the app if you have a android... These people think everybody has a iPhone! I'm mad as hell I bought this drone & I cant even download the app on my phone.. DJI is tripping‼️
I DOWNLOADED THE 1.3 AND STILL DOES NOT GO BEYOND SETUP OF INSTALLING JOYSTICKS AND CONNECTING MY PHONE, NEVER TO THE PART OF SEARCHING FOR DRONES, I BOUGHT NEW USBC CORDS, NOTHIN. SEEMS LIKE NO CONNECTION FROM CONTROLLER TO PHONE....ANY IDEAS BEFORE I RETURN IT?? GREAT VIDEO, MUCH APPRECIATED
Hello been confuse about this update for days now, hoping the answers are in the comments but didnt see any so i have the Mini 2 and have an android phone and just recently updated the firmware 01.01.0700 from my device not from google play store and noticed the compass has not change so what i was wondering if there is 2 different downloads, as you pointed out on how to get it through DJI downloads, so whats the firmware i just got
Cheers mate. After the nightmare I had with the last two updates on the mini 1 ill hold off until its been tested out be a few snd see whst the reports come in as . Also just a quick point what did you mean about trusting dji over the US government have I missed something
My Samsung S10+ has Android 11 now. I am trying to install the apk 1.2.4 from the DJI download section. So far i can download this apk to my phone, however it will not install at all.....Have tried to delete my installed app 1.2 1 and also deleted cache. Unfortunate apk 1.2.4 does not install.
Issue is fixed....after downloading the apk to the internal memory of the phone (not downloading it first to the SD card), the installation of the 1.2.4 apk was succesful
@@GAVINHR irlts was very clear, downloaded straight away, just waiting for a break in the weather here, only managed 25 minutes since Christmas morning lol
Well not had the mini 1 out for a time so today after the snow I took it out . Ok I was still using the old version of the fly app because of the useless I had with the first update 1.2.0 I think it was . Anyhow it flew faultless until I tried the quick shots and the app kicked me out mid flight so I tried it again same thing and both times I had to control the drone in by eye and the controller. So no problem I had already downloaded the latest version of the fly app from dji as suggested by gavin so while I was out I updated the app and rebooted then sent up the drone again it didn't kick me out after the quick shot dronie like before but when I switched to video again .....kicked me out and needed a restart . Ok eboot and try again and a was ok but now I have the damnned gimbal problem on the mini 1 you have on the 2 in both p mode and s mode . Dji are useless it never had any issues before
You are the only person I know with the issue on the mini 1! Was it windy at all ? How strange? I've had a couple of people mention it on Facebook about the app crashing recently! That's so scary though isn't it and certainly not acceptable, it seems when they fix one thing it breaks something else
@@GAVINHR not hardly any wind at all mate but it kicked me out several times not good if your a distance away you would have no idea which way it was facing or where it was in relation to the controller its totally unacceptable from dji
@@GAVINHR try the dronie quick shot and switch back to video when its finished then do it again but stop it part way through . Going to get the mini 1 out again and try it again but i may well be switching to litchi until they sort this out its poor that it kicked me out of the app mid flight thankfully it was close to me had it been out in the distance it would have been a lost drone
why wont they add inverted controls for android. ive been wanting one for years and bought one today only to find out i cant invert controls on android. :(
Hi mate just seen this, yes indeed I watch his videos :) I have sent another reply haha! The test is interesting and I hope he is right but for me I wouldn't expect to see much issues at the slower speed and with the gimble tilted down ( less susceptible in my experience ) so I will try it and hopefully a fix is there
@@nickh2373 The home point should be in the centre of the circle and STAY THERE..Illogical thought process by DJI...No method of aiming your Controllers antenna, its main function. I'm not "upgrading" until they sort it out.
Hi nick, when I do mg video later I will see exactly how it behaves, i imagine as soon as you take off the home point will become at the bottom as you will be flying away from it 😀
@@GAVINHR It won't, the Home point will revolve around the perimeter of the circle...with NO antenna aiming arrow, a serious flaw....Home point should stay in centre at all times IMO...Illogical thinking by DJI.
@@GAVINHR download not happening. Goes through the motions, but nothing happens. Left it running for a few minutes thinking that perhaps the link was busy, but still the same result. Would be interesting to learn if anyone else in Canada is having this problem. I've downloaded some other apps this morning, so I know that the phone is able to download apps.
I'm not doing it...That new compass, or as I prefer to call it..."Antenna aiming Aid"...doesn't work...There is no means of aiming your controller antenna at the drone, a serious issue...In fact I'm not sure why the Home point isn't in the centre of the circular display... Completely illogical.
haha yeah I saw that you was not a fan of it in the comments of The Disney Five's video! I see why it has divided opinion! for me, the compass as I said in the video never worked really anyway, everything was calibrated including the phone compass but as soon as I took off it just showed incorrectly pretty much from my 3rd / 4th flight with the Mavic mini, so in the end I just use maps, I tend to fly in areas I know anyway with clear LOS so I know I am pointing at the drone so i just got used to not using it!
@@GAVINHR Okay, but you WILL need an accurate antenna aiming aid if you go range flying...The beam of reception is quite narrow. So aiming your controller will become an issue if you fly further away.
Yeah I know mate! Range tests with these things ain't easy! I used to do 5km with the mini 1 with a set of yagis with no compass! I had to hold pretty still it was a nightmare haha
@@ivanjdrakov1957 Okay, but it DOESN'T tell you which way your controller is pointing...Try turning your back on your drone when it's flying towards you..as if you had become confused...for real...🤔🤔🇬🇧
@@GAVINHR Definitely helps the more information the better, I've never flown a drone before but used to race rc cars and flew a few aircraft but that was a good few years ago now.
Hello! To anyone that can help me out. I just got a mini 2 and my phone is a Samsung galaxy A 32 5G . I just got the phone 2 months ago. And I see it's not on the list. Can it work ???? If you know away I would like to here from you. Sorry I don't know much about them . Never even flew one . Thanks for your time and have a great day. Not 100% if you can get back to me. Though I give this a try. CHEERS!
@@GAVINHR Hmm... Maybe it's I'm wrong and it will be different when sideloading apps like this? But usually when I'm developing an Android app and I recompile it on my phone, I don't get the updates from The Play Store anymore, I actually have to re-install the app via the Play Store to get the latest update via the store...
Sorry I did not answer that clearly enough.. what I mean is I have installed it so I can test the theory that the app fixes the gimbal issue that's all, as soon as I've done that test I will just reinstall from the play store when it's finally added
@@GAVINHR Yeah exactly, that's just what I wanted to point out :) Just make sure to re-install via the Play STore if the new version is finally available there...
Finally someone explained this, apparently DJI don't give two shits about android users; fuckin buttholes. My Xperia 1 doesn't fit in the controller either cuz it's too damn tall lmao, damn Sony and their ridiculously sexy 21:9 aspect ratio.

I agree with you. Since it was covered on another channel and claimed that the app fixes it unfortunately people seem to think it will therefore I am looking to get the app version to check the theory for myself. I also believe it's firmware not an app but we will see
@@GAVINHR As a musician using electronic instruments and software I'm used to firmware issues when a product is released. The main differentiator between manufacturers is how they respond to these problems. I do get the feeling that utilising the existing gimbal from the Mavic Mini but upgrading other parts of the Mini 2 may be stressing the original design, a bit like trying to run Premier on an i3 with 4Gb of memory. Yes it will run but..... Hopefully I can be proved wrong.
Hi. I got my mavic mini 2 today. I have tried EVERYTHING to connect my Samsung Note 9 with it (which in DJI page says it´s supported) and it will simply wont connect. I tried with even with and ipad mini 2 and it worked so is not the phone. Any thought how can I fix this? :(. Thanks
Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate you
Glad it was helpful!
The new DJI fly app is not compatible with my Huawei Mate 8 although my Android version is 7!! So is there going to be an update for me too?? Or I have to change my phone?
Alguna idea de como descargar dji fly en un xioami mi9 :(
Thanks for that myself also into cars hence my channel lol and funny enough I just bought the Mini 2 so newbie tobthis game! Awesome videos many thanks
Haha enjoy your purchase ! If you need any help and advice that isn't covered in my videos give me a shout and I will try help
Thanks does worry me will i loose it or crash it. Plan is to make some car detailing videos with it! Scary stuff.
I bought mine to film the skyline then didn't end up doing it haha
@@GAVINHR i updated the software all good took it out for a spin this evening lost RC connection started to panic!! What could cause this?
Was you pointing the controller at the drone at all times? Easiest mistake to make, how far away was you
I'm still new to my dji mini 2 se but I flew my drone tonight and my djy fly app the screen went blank for about 3 seconds then screen came back I'm using a APK version plus it says firmware update will it be that as I'm new or download the one you said on your video but I will test it next time see if it was the update can you help thanks
I've updated my dji fly app but still does not list my Mavic pro 2. Can't fly as app does not work. Please advise.
Do we have to switch on the drone as well to update??
Nope not at all, it will update without I just needed to turn it on to get to the camera view so you can see it has been successful 😀
@@GAVINHR than how will it resolve the gimble issue when its not updating the aircraft??
Good question! I don't think so either! But since another RUclipsr has reported an ap update fixes it I've had a lot of people tell me that it does so I will test it for myself no matter how unlikely I find it
i love it !!! Great vidéo :)
Glad you liked it!!
@@GAVINHR Come on check m'y Chanel for more beautiful picturs :)
realy nice video :) great job ;)
Thank you very much!
@@GAVINHR come on check my chanel for more beautiful picturs :)
All these ppl doing reviews on Dji mini It would've been great if they would've let ppl know you can't download the app if you have a android... These people think everybody has a iPhone! I'm mad as hell I bought this drone & I cant even download the app on my phone.. DJI is tripping‼️
Brilliant, Thank you very much really Helpful because I too couldn't find it on play store..
You're welcome
I DOWNLOADED THE 1.3 AND STILL DOES NOT GO BEYOND SETUP OF INSTALLING JOYSTICKS AND CONNECTING MY PHONE, NEVER TO THE PART OF SEARCHING FOR DRONES, I BOUGHT NEW USBC CORDS, NOTHIN. SEEMS LIKE NO CONNECTION FROM CONTROLLER TO PHONE....ANY IDEAS BEFORE I RETURN IT?? GREAT VIDEO, MUCH APPRECIATED
Does this update also include Mavic pro 2.
Hello been confuse about this update for days now, hoping the answers are in the comments but didnt see any so i have the Mini 2 and have an android phone and just recently updated the firmware 01.01.0700 from my device not from google play store and noticed the compass has not change so what i was wondering if there is 2 different downloads, as you pointed out on how to get it through DJI downloads, so whats the firmware i just got
You don’t want that new compass, trust me it’s not good! The old one is better
Cheers mate.
After the nightmare I had with the last two updates on the mini 1 ill hold off until its been tested out be a few snd see whst the reports come in as .
Also just a quick point what did you mean about trusting dji over the US government have I missed something
Just a joke with the whole DJI blacklisting thing !
@@GAVINHR ahh I see 😆
@@barriegreenwood3150 haha!
Thanks for the information 🙏
Nice video. Good work
Thank you very much! Appreciate you watching
Great video, Thanks
You are welcome!
My Samsung S10+ has Android 11 now. I am trying to install the apk 1.2.4 from the DJI download section. So far i can download this apk to my phone, however it will not install at all.....Have tried to delete my installed app 1.2 1 and also deleted cache. Unfortunate apk 1.2.4 does not install.
Issue is fixed....after downloading the apk to the internal memory of the phone (not downloading it first to the SD card), the installation of the 1.2.4 apk was succesful
Sorry about this I only just got the notification of your comment, glad you sorted it in the end!
on my samsung tab A 10.1 ( android) ( the dji fly app does not work for my mini 2 ) how can i resolve this problem
You are a super hero! Thank you!!
Thank you very much!
Tom man Gav, I was wondering whwn us Android users would get the new update, great tutorial
For some reason my screen recorder stayed in bloody portrait when I opened the fly app so I had to stretch it out a bit. Hope it's clear enough!
@@GAVINHR irlts was very clear, downloaded straight away, just waiting for a break in the weather here, only managed 25 minutes since Christmas morning lol
brilliant on the app! not so good on the lack of flight time :(
Awesome works well on my Maverick Mini on my Samsung Galaxy S10 thank you
Is the galaxy S10 working with just the DJI fly app..?? I have a A01 galaxy..and just ordered the mini 2..
@@trainrecked yes I did exactly as he said and it works on my mavic mini one no problems.Also another app worth trying is Dronelink www.dronelink.com
dji mini se app for android samsung galaxy s10 s20 s21 that are compatible now obsolete , what new phone would be compatible.
they are not obsolete, they will still work, check my dji fly app fix video :)
@@GAVINHR Hi can any body tell me if there is away to download dji fly app to a samsung galaxy a13 please thank you.
Unfortunately it won't download on my Samsung S7. Any thoughts?
For me it is still on strike or because I am using infinix hot 10 I am asking for help
Well not had the mini 1 out for a time so today after the snow I took it out .
Ok I was still using the old version of the fly app because of the useless I had with the first update 1.2.0 I think it was .
Anyhow it flew faultless until I tried the quick shots and the app kicked me out mid flight so I tried it again same thing and both times I had to control the drone in by eye and the controller.
So no problem I had already downloaded the latest version of the fly app from dji as suggested by gavin so while I was out I updated the app and rebooted then sent up the drone again it didn't kick me out after the quick shot dronie like before but when I switched to video again .....kicked me out and needed a restart .
Ok eboot and try again and a was ok but now I have the damnned gimbal problem on the mini 1 you have on the 2 in both p mode and s mode .
Dji are useless it never had any issues before
You are the only person I know with the issue on the mini 1! Was it windy at all ? How strange? I've had a couple of people mention it on Facebook about the app crashing recently! That's so scary though isn't it and certainly not acceptable, it seems when they fix one thing it breaks something else
@@GAVINHR not hardly any wind at all mate but it kicked me out several times not good if your a distance away you would have no idea which way it was facing or where it was in relation to the controller its totally unacceptable from dji
The reports seem to be getting worse don't they!
I will fly my mini 1 tomorrow and see what I find mate
@@GAVINHR try the dronie quick shot and switch back to video when its finished then do it again but stop it part way through .
Going to get the mini 1 out again and try it again but i may well be switching to litchi until they sort this out its poor that it kicked me out of the app mid flight thankfully it was close to me had it been out in the distance it would have been a lost drone
Thanks for sharing idol nice one video very informative God bless you always idol
I have a samsumg 21 says file can't be open ,help please
How long does it take to download the app mines been downloading for five minutes open this is right
Hi Mike, were on 1.4.8 now however the speed will depend on your internet connection , if it's slower it could take longer the file is about 300mb
I just won't install on my android 10.. It is downloaded but when I say to install it says it won't.
why wont they add inverted controls for android. ive been wanting one for years and bought one today only to find out i cant invert controls on android. :(
Can anyone tell me how to download my Dji Mavic air 2 onto my android because I’ve tried to use the information on this video and it won’t work
Still doesn't working in Australia
That's rubbish :( it's worked for lots of people so far!
Obrigado por todos os seus vídeos, estou assistindo todos os dias
The "install app" doesn't show up on my phone. Now what?
Thank you it works
Hell yes it worked thanks
Hes called the Disney five if you want to check it out
Hi mate just seen this, yes indeed I watch his videos :) I have sent another reply haha! The test is interesting and I hope he is right but for me I wouldn't expect to see much issues at the slower speed and with the gimble tilted down ( less susceptible in my experience ) so I will try it and hopefully a fix is there
I tried downloading this app but my phone says the cpu is not compatible with the app. What should I do?
Try one of the older versions of the app, if you check out my video on install problems it will explain everything
I still can't download it on my Android
Thanks Gav!
You're welcome!
Do you know if you can set the compass so the home is at the bottom rather than it pointing north?
@@nickh2373 The home point should be in the centre of the circle and STAY THERE..Illogical thought process by DJI...No method of aiming your Controllers antenna, its main function. I'm not "upgrading" until they sort it out.
Hi nick, when I do mg video later I will see exactly how it behaves, i imagine as soon as you take off the home point will become at the bottom as you will be flying away from it 😀
@@GAVINHR It won't, the Home point will revolve around the perimeter of the circle...with NO antenna aiming arrow, a serious flaw....Home point should stay in centre at all times IMO...Illogical thinking by DJI.
I tried to download it and it didn't download to my Galaxy S9 I'm in Canada. Will try again in a day or so.
Oh that is strange! It's seemed to work for everyone so far
@@GAVINHR I just tried it again and still can't download it. Strange is right. I tried it on Mobile Data as well as wifi and the same results.
Is the download just not happening or is it not installing? This is strange?
@@GAVINHR download not happening. Goes through the motions, but nothing happens. Left it running for a few minutes thinking that perhaps the link was busy, but still the same result. Would be interesting to learn if anyone else in Canada is having this problem. I've downloaded some other apps this morning, so I know that the phone is able to download apps.
@@bobell69 Sadly I am not sure what to advise then Robert :( I am sure it will be available in the google store in a few days!
I'm not doing it...That new compass, or as I prefer to call it..."Antenna aiming Aid"...doesn't work...There is no means of aiming your controller antenna at the drone, a serious issue...In fact I'm not sure why the Home point isn't in the centre of the circular display... Completely illogical.
haha yeah I saw that you was not a fan of it in the comments of The Disney Five's video! I see why it has divided opinion! for me, the compass as I said in the video never worked really anyway, everything was calibrated including the phone compass but as soon as I took off it just showed incorrectly pretty much from my 3rd / 4th flight with the Mavic mini, so in the end I just use maps, I tend to fly in areas I know anyway with clear LOS so I know I am pointing at the drone so i just got used to not using it!
@@GAVINHR Okay, but you WILL need an accurate antenna aiming aid if you go range flying...The beam of reception is quite narrow. So aiming your controller will become an issue if you fly further away.
Yeah I know mate! Range tests with these things ain't easy! I used to do 5km with the mini 1 with a set of yagis with no compass! I had to hold pretty still it was a nightmare haha
Dude, please.... It's extremely accurate I've used it already for 4 flights of 20 mins and it's always been super accurate for me..
@@ivanjdrakov1957 Okay, but it DOESN'T tell you which way your controller is pointing...Try turning your back on your drone when it's flying towards you..as if you had become confused...for real...🤔🤔🇬🇧
👍👍 Thanks
Thank you for watching! Hope it helps
@@GAVINHR Definitely helps the more information the better, I've never flown a drone before but used to race rc cars and flew a few aircraft but that was a good few years ago now.
Hello! To anyone that can help me out. I just got a mini 2 and my phone is a Samsung galaxy A 32 5G . I just got the phone 2 months ago. And I see it's not on the list. Can it work ???? If you know away I would like to here from you. Sorry I don't know much about them . Never even flew one . Thanks for your time and have a great day. Not 100% if you can get back to me. Though I give this a try. CHEERS!
Thanks!
No problem!
Thanks
Huh, i'm on iOS, maybe that's why I didn't run into the gimbal issue.
Did you get the drone for Christmas? Or has it a while?
@@GAVINHR i got it about 3 weeks ago
Im so sad. It doesnt work for Samsung Galaxy J7. Now i have to return it.
It wont open the file
there isnt dji fly app on google game no app at all
I can't get the app😭😭😭😭
this did nopt work for me
Be aware that your DJI app won't auto update anymore...
It will, as it will be updated from Google play when it's available 😀
@@GAVINHR Hmm... Maybe it's I'm wrong and it will be different when sideloading apps like this? But usually when I'm developing an Android app and I recompile it on my phone, I don't get the updates from The Play Store anymore, I actually have to re-install the app via the Play Store to get the latest update via the store...
Sorry I did not answer that clearly enough.. what I mean is I have installed it so I can test the theory that the app fixes the gimbal issue that's all, as soon as I've done that test I will just reinstall from the play store when it's finally added
@@GAVINHR Yeah exactly, that's just what I wanted to point out :) Just make sure to re-install via the Play STore if the new version is finally available there...
How can I download the actual app lol
Finally someone explained this, apparently DJI don't give two shits about android users; fuckin buttholes. My Xperia 1 doesn't fit in the controller either cuz it's too damn tall lmao, damn Sony and their ridiculously sexy 21:9 aspect ratio.
Didn't work
Check out my fix video in my app update playlist
