Well done! Where everyone is dedicated to long-distance testing, you have done a test that I was waiting for, however having tried the night shooting with its predecessor I can say that the night shooting makes it better during nightfall. Many thanks from Italy 😊👋
Absolute pleasure and thanks for the comment buddy! ❤️
*MANY thanks to our sponsor SWEDRON - **www.swedron.se** - and hit SUBSCRIBE if you enjoy this content!!*
Is there capability with this drone to have one of those drop systems attached to it? (The ones that have a claw or something like that, that have their own remote but you attach it to the drone)
You keep pushing those need to know limits. Flying at night I now have to try it.
Great content as usual thanks and keep pushing. 👍
Brilliant video! With that TINY little drone hahaa ya said that TINY at least 20 times! Loved the work mate 😃👍🏼
Yeeeeeey!!!! I love my Mavic Mini and can't wait to open up my Mini 2 Fly More Combo with 1 year DJI Care Refresh package for Christmas this year!
Really really impressed with this new lil but very mighty Mini 2!
Keep well and be safe bro.
😁
Great video and information Ash as always cheers 👍🇬🇧
Great video Ash, a nice little drone.
Thanks for the review, really surprised how good the video and shots were, I unboxed mine today👌🏻
im about to buy one. how do you like it so far?
Thank you. So informative and well presented.
I always get a compass calibration required when I try to fly at night due to "low light environment". I discovered tonight though if you point the camera of the drone into the lights of your car the calibration requirement goes off and "take off is permitted". Kind of a quick hack I thought I would share
It’s been a year since you posted this comment, so I’m curious to hear if you still have that issue?
(Assuming you’ve kept the firmware updates current.)
@@BoHolbo ya its just a low light thing, preaty sure it will always do it. Not a big deal though once you know how to get around it.
I tried to do a low light test but i didn’t feel comfortable with the location, the little footage I got was not bad. Keep up the good work
Hi, that was a great night test flight, I was wondering how it records at night, very clear footage, I ordered mine ,supposedly arrives tomorrow, we’ll see , Thank you for sharing your experience !,,✌️😎👍
Great night shots! I can think a lot of reasons now to fly with the Mini 2.
Indeed, impressive isn't it for a tiny drone!
Thanks for the video pal ❤️
Nice practical review Ash 😍👍
Good night footage and one thing I must test out soon once my night time flying strobes are delivered
Flew my DJI mini 2 at night with lthe attachable landing gear with lights under the body of the DJI mini 2 . It was awesome. I was very impressed by how well the camera did at night . The DJI mini 2 keeps on impressing me . One of the best purchases ever . Cant wait to buy a second DJI drone . My new favorite hobby is flying now everywhere I go pretty much .
Is there an option to switch the light on or off?
Was waiting on dis
You can see more than I imagined. Will definitely give it a try when I'm more confident with it.
Just got my mini 2 around the time you posted this video. 4 hrs ago. This is my first Dji drone, have been flying Yuneec for a couple of years. I'm very excited to test the limits of this awesome little drone.
what do you think of it so far?
Great video very helpful .I have just been out to take a photo of the kelpies at low light could not see a bloody thing . Only got my drone a few weeks ago first time of taking a photo at night did not know of the settings just tried it in my garage what a BIG difference my fault. But thanks to your video learnt a lot thank you hopefully tomorrow I be able to get my photo cheers👍
Yay! Heja Swedron!
The results of the video and photos are quite good, continue bro, very educational 👍👍👍 greetings from one sky
Great flight friend, and what good results, surprising for such a small drone, greetings.
Thanks Rene, appreciate it!
Thanks very helpful
Mini 2 looks like a big Great little drone
9:16 Take that sticker off your drone, lol!
Great video, thanks. 👍🏻
Very interesting and informative
Well Done!!
Not tooooo bad! Good stuff but the last pullback shot was really cool for the end of the viddy.
Great to test it at night 😎😎
Great vid Ash. Could you compare this night sensitivity with the Anafi, then I know whether I should buy a mini 2 🤗. Thanks👍🏻
The video I was waiting for, thanks! My OCD is instructing me to tell you to take those stickers off though :D
Haha pleasure Mr Messy, glad that it helped and hope that you're subscribed! Thanks for the comment!
Odd my OCD must keep the stickers on
My ocd screamed “32 HUNDRED”
That was educational for a beginner.
Very nice drone 👍
I have the Mini 2 and hope to get out more with it than I did with the MM 1 and this has shown me that it has possibilities at night. I wish I lived near the coast though as finding places inland is tricky in our congested UK. I guess you have to be extra careful at night though not to infringe on GDPR.
Great video I really enjoyed your test.
I have a question on my spark I can charge the controller at the same time with the 3 battery charger hub is that possible with the new mini 2 battery block charger?
Im impressed too 😊🙏
I think the video quality is outstanding for this little drone
With all the many improvements of the Mini 2 people are now wondering which drone should I get the Mini 2 or the Mavic Air 2. I think it would be useful for potential customers to fully understand what the "practical advantages" are of the MA2 over the M2 so that they could fully assess whether the MA2 is worth the extra money given their intended uses for the quad.
By "practical advantages" I mean more than just a "surface/technical level" comparison of features (i.e., MA2 has active tracking and M2 doesn't, the M2 has a 1/2.3 vs 1/2" sensor, etc) but instead explain how said feature/spec might improve/simplify certain shots thus giving the user a better understanding of the "practical" benefits of a feature/spec that they may be foregoing if they went with the M2 instead of the MA2.
For example, explain how Active Track/Spot Light feature could be used to get video of a moving sailboat while simultaneously circling the boat. Technically you could could accomplish the same thing with the M2 but show how doing it manually would be significantly harder to do.
Show the benefits of the larger sensor on the MA2 vs M2 by doing side by side videos of a sunset or side by side comparisons of night flight videos, etc. Hopefully you get my gist. Maybe a Top 5/10 advantages of the MA2 vs the M2 with real life uses cases like I described above. Just a thought.
I agree that this would be very helpful?
I am exactly at that point in my decision process. Which one is the better choice???
I am a total novice and never had a drone, but know that i want to film myself riding a motorbike or using the drone for my vlog somehow.
It’s a once only purchase and I hate to be disappointed and wasted my money by making the wrong choice.
A “how to” for both drones video would be really good.
Better still would be...how can you utilize a drone for a vlog most effectively 😬🥴🤷♂️
This might seem a silly question but that’s why I am here...to figure things out bit by bit....finding the right answers though is very hard if you got no first hand idea about drones at all.
@@AussieAdventurer The Mini 2 does NOT have a "follow me" active track, so if you need that capability the Mini 2 won't do that. I am not familiar with the Air 2, so choose carefully and do your research.
If you're going to be flying in 'quiet' areas, especially late at night, the Mini 2 is considerably quieter than the Air 2 so is less likely to annoy people
@@Goldie644 thanks for that info 👍
@@Goldie644 Good point.
To use a point of reference when flying drone at night? A flashlight or laser pen for the drone to see with its camera?
The section that i waiting for... Will be better than spark or mp1?
Can you put mini 2 props on Mavic mini but use Mavic mini screw's as mini 2 are to long cheers keep em coming
Thank you sir.
Most welcome! Thanks for the comment!
I think everyone looks better in the dark at night! Is this a loaner for testing or did you break down and buy one?
I hoped you show which the highest iso you can go without too much noise.
Lay string lights out in h pattern, super easy to see
Nice. Surprised at the results. Does the mini2 complain about lack of light? My Mavic mini does.
Hi Ash!, is it worth upgrading from the original mini to the mini 2?. Thanks
so you can do manual video on the mini 2? I've been told we can only do manual photo and auto video ONLY?
Good afternoon DroningON I have a Mavic Air and to fly at night you have to remove the obstacle program, so the Mavic mini 2 is just set up and put to fly? Success in your channel and good flights.
Loved your night DJI Mine 2 video, but I missed the sound. Doesn't it catch the sea sound, for example?
Helo. I have a question. Can i use mini 1 propeller guard to mini 2.? Tnx
Thanks for the vid! Residential areas are always poor to film at night because of the low density of lights. A city view would really show the camera's capability. Appreciate the glimpse at the new Mini 2. I have one on order because of the reduced regulations for the sub-250 gram drones, and this camera is now competing with those of some of the higher end drones. I already have the Mavic 2 Pro, the Evo 2 Pro, Mavic Mini, and a few others, but flying restrictions just keep piling up.
You’d need a Kevlar vest to do a city at night.
The map is also very handy for getting back into the ballpark of where you launched. Very underused feature. It even shows you the most direct angle to get back to the homepoint.
No AEB shots possible on the mini2 eventhough it's on the app? that's the only reason why i would by the Mini2, since that i used my phantom during night. But the Phantom makes so much noise.
Enjoyed that Ash - No real surprises though - As you might expect with the smaller sensor - I’ve only ever flown once at night - Just to test the capability and to see how my orientation faired up - I’ve held out really well - I’ve managed Not to buy a Mini 2 lol Thanks for the Vid
More concerned about landing it from a night flight. Do you need decent lighting on the floor?
Dayuuuuuuuuuuuuum soo freaking cool
If only it was a city 🌃 and the lights
Hi Ash, great video on the night flying capabilities of the Mini 2! A couple of questions. Did you have to maintain VLOS the entire time you were flying? Hard for me to imagine that the neighbour’s roofline didn’t get in the way. Lastly, is there any way of turning OFF the Mini 2’s flight light beacon? Sometimes we have would be burglars casing our neighbourhood & I wanted to track them without attracting them to the drone, don’t know if the Mini 2’s props were audible at the height you were flying.
Do you need to have red and green positional lights when flying at night? Newbie here. (Hoping for a Mini 2 under the tree this year)
The background music is good.
That’s it Darnit I am buying one
subing for the track!!!
Thanks!
It is hot 👍🔥
You covered the manual settings of the drone in video mode but not in camera mode. I would be interested in knowing those settings.
I would imagine you could get even better results for the photos if you use the RAW photo setting, although they were very good already considering the conditions and the size of the drone
Same sensor as the Mavic mini but better bit rate. Do you not get a sensor warning on the the Mini 2
Like you said.....”impressive”!
Yeah flying at night takes skills, especially if you decide to take off in a very dark area before getting enough satellites!
I've been meaning to ask you how far and how visible is the new headlight on the Mini 2?
I really love to do night flights, Sofia city looks really sweet from 500m altitude when it's fully night time..
😁
I plan on testing this with my Mini 2 when we get a break in the weather 😉 I flew my Mavic Mini a few times at night and the lack of a forward facing light meant it was essentially invisible unless it was flying away from me and I could see the rear light. I did buy some small stick-on strobes but again haven't had the opportunity to try them yet.
Do you had any problems to start when is very dark ? My shows me problem with start when is VERY dark
How did u get it to take off.? Mine doesn't allow me to fly In low light condition 😕
Lets goooo
Would 1080p be a little brighter?
Can you run a Distance Test and return, the best Iv'e Seen is 6600 Meters
I wish you would have tried aeb
Can you demonstrate hand launching this drone?
Quite impressive! Looking forward to doing a night flight with my Mavic Air 2. Received my FAA approved LumCube night light for safety. Did you have on a night light? Don’t think I saw one at take off. Now now! ☝️😂☝️
Not bad at all is it, for a tiny sensor! I don't use a night-light, remember that the world is bigger than America, this was in Sweden where it's not legally a requirement :) Thanks for the comment!
1:09 did u make this shot with osmo pocket?
is it possible to record nothern lights with this drone?
Can hobbyist fly mavic mini at night not 10pm at 6pm ish got strobe light can see it over 10,000 ft away wow it's bright
HELP#
HI!
I always fly over the bay at Miami Beach, FL. There is a way to set a "LOW TERRAIN, LOW ALTITUDE WARNING" on the Mavic mini2 or Air 2.
I get very distracted and lost all altitude while moving the left joystick to rotate the drone. A "low altitude warning" would be life-saving for my drone. I could set it to any altitude I the warning to be activated. The idea is to increase altitude if I get below, e.g., 5 or 10 meters. Then prevent it from crashing into the water. I already lost the Mavic mini and the Mavic 2. I can't retrieve them from the bay floor. I am afraid to buy a new one and make the same mistake.
How you able to take off with no light ? Flashlight ???
Presented this way, the Mini 2 looks to do quite well in low light but if compared with like the Mavic Air 2, I have a feeling the difference would be significant.
That is something i am waiting for..a side by side full comprehensive comparison between the new Mini 2 and Mavic Air 2 both in Day and Nighttime including a “ safe” range test and heavy wind test for both..
#GREATSHARE
Any problems with the new Mavic Air 2 update today.. Video and pics are terrible
Can someone explain why there are micro-stutters in the footage?
How much they $. Im in canada .thank u..
Hi, wouldn't it be easier to use the auto return feature at night versus manually flying it back?
No absolutely not, with RTH you have no control of the drone, and at night drones such as the Mini 2 have no obstacle avoidance and so RTH will have no capability to avoid anything in it's path. RTH should ONLY ever be used for emergencies, it should not be used for routine flying because it breeds laziness and incompetence.
@@Droning-ON yep! So true!
@@Droning-ON What? If you set the return height high enough to clear obstacles there is no reason to not use RTH. It travels at set height till over your location, and then descends. Why would you so emphatically answer in that manner?
@@IRequireMedication yeah i set mine to 100meters
Tbh I'm not keen on the picture quality at night. It's a bit of a strange one because on the mini 2 the video shows colour at night but the camera only shows one colour.
Where is your marker light? I don’t see one
DRONE RESCUE TIP: Hang a small magnet from another drone to Rescue and lift it up,

Good video and I have also wondered about night flying with it. Its actually pretty impressive at night for what it is. I had the Spark, the Mavic Air, and the Mavic2Pro and also the Zoom lens for it. This little Mini 2 is leading edge technology, and has surprised me in every way. It will even fly further than my M2P, which is a shock. The still photos are now in RAW and JPEG, so you can do AEB and get really marvelous photos with Lightroom. I'm on day 4 with mine, and just amazed that such a tiny drone can get pretty close to the Mavic 2 Pro. Definitely a grab and go with the same flight time as the M2P and maybe even a tiny bit more range and battery time. DJI is wake up call to America. We have become a consumer nation and have lost our edge to China. And thanks to DJT, we are now years behind modern technology and renewable energy, and the future is already here, but its IN CHINA. Now that we have dumped him in a major election backlash against the GOP backsliders, hopefully we will catch up and become innovators again, but China is ten years ahead of us already. God Bless DJI. And God bless the USA in its recovery from 4 years of incredible cultism and destruction of environment and technology by worshippers of money and hypocrisy.
Yes it's really impressive, especially considering the tiny sensor. Thanks for the comment!
Would you recommend the mini 2 regular or mavic mini 1 fly more combo?
Get the mini 2, although three batteries is nice, 4K, occusync as well as more efficient and wind resistant motors are worth it. Plus it should be a bit cheaper as well at retail prices.
Everyone recommended buying the Fly More Combo as you get a better deal that way...rather then later adding things individually- Personally and from a financial aspect, I would definitely buy the Mini 2 Fly more combo 👍
Always get the fly more kit
Do you have to buy an insurance or it's up to the user with this drone?
No it depends on the country in which you're flying, it's a good idea for sure. Thanks for the comment!
Batteries can be quite temperature sensitive, they won't be as good in cold weather. Also, it's I.S.O (eye ess oh), it's an acronym, not a word ;)
what is that track at the beginning of your intro???? 😍😍😍😍😍
It's by an artist called 'Lightfoot', brilliant isn't it! You can find him on Soundcloud! Thanks for the comment!
Holy shit!

what is that track at the beginning of your intro?
Replied to your comment! Thanks for the comment!
How do you fly at night ? My Mini 1 refuses to fly at low light. Do you have any idea ?.
It will give you warnings if you haven't acquired enough satellites, also if your VPS sensor can't detect the ground. But as you saw in this demonstration, no issue after it had acquired GPS. Thanks for the comment!
Tks
You say a few times in the video that it has a quarter inch sensor but I think that is incorrect :) It has a sensor that is just a tad smaller than a half inch sensor. The size is 1/2.3 of an inch. At least according to DJI.
Actually, the utilisation of 'inches' in the camera space is quite confusing as it doesn't actually refer directly to the sensor size. 1/2.3-inch is referred to as 'quarter' inch because the sensor area is approximately 1/4 the sensor surface of a 1" sensor. But neither really reflect an actual inch measurement. Hope that this helps!
This will also help! www.kenrockwell.com/tech/one-inch-sensor.htm
@@Droning-ON Thanks. And yes that helps...I dont like that they are actually allowed to use that kind of tricky marketing though. I am very new to Video/droning, but have a lot of years in photography (both with analog and digital cameras) so I automatically expect it will be the same. No matter the explanation about how they get away with this I will still personally call it fraud. I am getting the Mini 2 anyway though. Thanks for the response.
Yes agreed, this "inch" terminology really needs scrapping as it's long out of date. Apparently it's origins are in the measurement of the camera tunnel size and not actually the sensor itself. Thanks for the comments!
