    Rick, love the channel. Got my package and love the products. Only issue is to use the hood with the Ipad mini you have to leave the side with the wire connection open. the opening on the hood does not match up with the lightning connector so you cant close that side. It works great with a phone. Love the lanyard, and the extender so I can fly with the Ipad. Thanks!

    Just received DJI Mini 2. I use a Galaxy S20 android phone. One problem... my phone protector will not allow the USB c cable connector to plug in properly. I have to remove the case each time. Is there a particular USB c female to male adapter you would personally prefer or will most any be sufficient. Probably need a short cable type to reach around the sun shield. Your input would be appreciated. Thank you

    Hey Rick. I didn't realize you had a website, that's awesome! I know you play by the rules more than most of us hoodlums. If your up to it, I'd like to test your accessories for the Mini 2 in some of my series vids which I think will support your channel. Specifically the iPad mini clip, Yagi antenna, sunshade and lanyard as they all look very useful. It would be great to see how the Yagi does in a Mini 2 range test out in the boonies also. Let me know if your interested in a collaboration, it may bring you some great traffic. If not no worries. I believe you know how to contact me. Aloha, keep up the great info & take care -Dustin

    You mentioned that the Ipad mini 4 can be used in both the Mini 1 controller and Mini 2 controller. Would you recommend using the Ipad mini 4 with either or both of these controllers? I'm wondering if the technology in the Ipad mini 4 is too old to give a smooth experience with the DJI fly app on both these quads.

    My pickup has a 110AC (modified sine wave inverter) 150 watt output.
    I wonder if I could use the 6-in-1 charger that I purchased at drone valley to charge 4 batteries
    at one time?
    I understand some electronics don't like the modified sine wave from the inverter.
    The ones that give you pure sine waves are more expensive but it looks like the power signature you
    get from your outlets in your house.
    Any comments on this?

    Rick - You have done a number reviews on various drones; i.e. flight performance, distance, etc.; however, there is one test that no one has done and I've experimented and that is the "Line of Sight" test. Question: At what distance do you loose sight of the drone. For me, the distance I lost sight of my Mavic Pro 2 was 850 to 900 yards (note I have 20/20 vision). My Phantom 3 it was 950 to 1,000 yards. I don't have a dji mini 2, but I would believe the distance is shorter than a Mavic Pro 2/Phantom. So, at what distance do you lose sight of your drones?

    Hello (I am using google translate) This is a very interesting and professional video. Regarding the neck strap, have you also experimented with a model whose support is integrated into the radio control and whose anchor ring is closer to the iPhone. Does this model obstruct the view more? It looks like this model doesn't need to be uninstalled every time you use it, the antenna folds inside the stand. So what's your final recommendation? Thank you very much!

    I hate to bother you with a silly question but I can not seem to find even 1 human that knows of a OTG cable from the c connector on mini 2 controller, to my Lenovo tablet with a Micro USB connector. Some people mention Usb mini to otg C which is backwards and they can not be used in reverse. I bought a sunscreen for my tablet and need a 20 cm or 12 inch C OTG to Micro USB cable with right angles to use the sunscreen. Noone on earth knows of one and know you are so knowledable on DJI items I thought you may know of, have, or sell such a cable. I know you understand the workings of things and I figured you must be the one to ask after all my searching,
    In advance THANK YOU for any comment. Ray C. P.S. I think you kind of like the Mini 3 and I am as excited as you but have to wait another month yet. I added the fly more plus as well. I loved the excited crazy about the drone video you made as it was funny and wonderful to see you so pleased. The young boy still lives inside you ike me and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!

We tested these extensively with over 42 phones and not one of them had any issues with these magnets affecting anything on the phone or the controller. They are mounted far away from the phone as part of their design and not nearly powerful enough to impact the tech.

    After watching your video on the controller extender, I decided, oh I need one of them. So away I bought an iPad. But when I looked up on Amazon the other day, I couldn’t find your extender. There were cheap ones but none as good as yours. So, off I went to your store and bought one. Now I am in the uk and await delivery of my extender. What I would like to ask is, how much are your extenders on Amazon? It’s just that when I bought it from you, the delivery was as much as the extender. Ouch, Is there anywhere in the uk that sells your items? And Rick, please slow down when talking on RUclips. I watch all your videos and I am a subscriber. I am disabled and a bit slow. Sometimes I have to watch your video two to three times as I miss something lol. Have a good day, I own a mini 2 and Mavic pro. I’ll accept any accessories if you would like to send them my way to try.

      Thanks for the post and the DJI Mini 2 doesn't offer ADS-B as part of it's design. I'm sure it was a question of weight and they were working hard to keep it under 250 grams. The only quad on the market I know of that does offer it at this point is the Mavic Air 2. It's a great feature and actually helped me yesterday when I was flying on a beach in NJ with a small plane that was approaching under 300 feet.
