Best drone video that I have seen on operating the controller. most people are really rushing through it or this and they talk a whole lot about this and this and it kind of takes you away from things but you were on point and talked slowly. Great job!
just got my mini 2 and I came across this video. Great video and highly informative! Very nervous to take this out but excited as well. Learned a lot about the capabilities and functions. Baby steps for now, unfortunately it's raining now and for the next few days, so grounded for now. Thank you for doing this video!!
New operator, and decided to go with the mini 2 se as my first. I appreciate the basics. Most of the videos I've seen seem to assume you have at least a year of flying experience. Probably something to do with the algorithm. Thanks for making a great video.
POST EDIT NOTES: 1. Before Flying it is advised to calibrate the compass and the IMU, go to the 3 dots on the Fly App>Safety>Calibration and follow the steps. 2. Always check for firmware updates before flying 3.

I’ve watched many videos learning about drones Hands down you make it easy to understand, you speak clearly and you are thorough. Big thumbs up to you man 👍🏻
Hey Otto! It is a Very useful video for Dji drone users ! This little drone is SO cute! The Mavic Air 2 is awesome as well I can’t wait to try it out outside Belgium (due to drone regulations).
Great video! Just got my Mini 2 SE today. Charged and hooked to phone with downloads done. Hope to get some flight time tomorrow! Even a few feet I'll be tickled pink!
Is the range better with the WIFI setting set to the 5Ghz or leave the setting on DUAL band? I know some other manufacturers are using the 5Ghz only now.
Hey one other thing...can the gimbel be moved left to right using the DJI FLY app? I saw withe MAVIC AIR 2 it has a feature to do this by moving your finger from left to right on the screen. Also I REALLY appreciate your responses...allot of other channels never reply to the comments. Thay seem to let the other people respond.
I wasn't sure about the panning control from the app. I just tried it out and it doesn't work. You are welcome. I know how frustrating it is when you ask a question and bigger youtubers don't have the time or interest to respond.
I had a very bad experience with my first drone ( I literally lost it in 15 minutes of flying it) but because I have watched your video I feel a lot more confidence and I want to thank you 🙏🏾,
Old vid now I know but my god you have given me so much more confidence on flying this drone! First drone, going to be first flight! Will watch again to make sure! Thank you! Best vid on here for this drone!!👌👍
i did the same thing, flew my dji mini 2 se into the street and a car hit it.. walmart replaced it as i told him it came like that since it was an hour after opening the box 😂
Thank you for providing such a comprehensive and straightforward tutorial video. It's really useful for someone who's just starting out, like myself..😊
Excellent tutorial containing everything needed to get started. Much appreciated! Thanks for the detailed explanation regarding the controller. Very helpful.
Thanks for the great info Otto. I'm impatiently awaiting the arrival of my mini 2 se right now, and thanks to your informative video i have no doubt that ill be able to swiftly set up and get the bird in the sky today! Thanks again.
Hi Otto...there are a number of good videos for the Mini 2 and how to set it up...I think this is the best one I have seen..thank you for being so patient and thorough...going to look at your other videos now...I subscribed and liked
Loved the video it definitely helps explain how to use the Controls and functions. Does the drone only come with one charger to charge the drone and the controller?
Thank you! I just got a mini 2 and I don’t know how to power off the remote controller the lights are still on despite pressing the power buttons. I subscribed!
Simple question: if you chose imperial/ft does this change also the units in the max altitude setting, etc? I have a standard 3/DJI GO that doesn’t change the units in all areas.
@@OttoJulian_ Hi Otto.. I want to ask, how to download Dji mini 2 SE with audio.. when I first connected the apps , it says it has access to phone mic. But I always transfer video using card reader . Not directly download using apps. Does it affect the outcome?
Thanks for the information, it was very helpful but I think I have a problem with the controller... Mine does not turn on the lights when I charge it, do I have to worry, am I doing it right? Please help!
Great video very detailed Did you try the latest firmware 1.7.5. video settings menu changed the values are horizontal not verical as before the option charge my phone is not anymore there let me know please about it Thanks
it will connect but working with the ipad like that is not easy. I would buy another cable. Controller end is usb-c, then to the ipad's lightning port.
@@shoop4040 get ready for some fun!! This mini 2 packs a punch, and it's not hard to learn how to fly it. Good luck, and I hope that my video helped you somehow
Wow, I literally just ordered a drone mini 2 se 😅 my very first drone. And it's not even here comes in a week. But this helps a ton. I will save this in my playlist! I still watched it just because I was a bit nervous. 😅 I feel a bit calmer now, many thanks! 💯
Really good video thank you. I just got one, it's on charge.... so will play tomorrow. My question is... When flying and 'press record' for a video, does it automatically save onto the phone?
@@OttoJulian_ I tried that many times still no luck..this issue only happens at my house in the parking lot..anywhere else it connects in seconds..I realized I could live with that cause I don't fly much at home anyway.
Thanks Otto, very helpful yet again. I am doing real estate videos and am wandering if there is any way to record a talk over when filming dji mini 2 footage? .....and of course how?
You can use the record screen function on your phone, it should record your voice as well, but I feel that doing a voice over will be better if done in post
Thanks for the video. Just got Mini2SE and don't want to lose it like others have. Do you need to keep finger on button the whole time to get it back. Will look at the calibrate stuff.ou answered a lot of questions.
Hello Otto! Thank you for sharing this information with us, this video is the easiest to understand for me. I will be using your videos to learn how to fly my new drone. I just received my DJI Mavic Mini 2 today, I purchased the fly-more bundle so I can use it for my RUclips channel. Have a wonderful day and a Merry Christmas! Thank you for educating us on this drone, God bless you my friend! Sincerely, Donnie (Standing Goats Rescue)
@@OttoJulian_ I don’t know. I contacted my local DJI store and they said it might be a micro SD problem even though my micro SD is a 512 GB SanDisk Extreme U3 UHS - I class. We’ll see today because I am going to the DJI store today.
@@johnmichaeluy5701 I initially thought it could be the sd card. I hope it all turns out to be nothing bad, if possible let me know the outcome, very interested in this kind of issues
@@OttoJulian_ Hey just an update about my DJI Mini 2! I just went from the DJI Retail Store and asked them about this issue. As you already know, they suspected it was a micro SD problem but they weren’t sure if this really is the problem as my micro SD card is fast enough read and write speeds since it is a 512 GB UHS-I, U3 class. They then proceeded to place a 128GB UHS-I, U3 class and then it worked! The video would record continuously. They were baffled as they didn’t know the issue but it appears it was fixed. So I bought the as card in the store. Later that night, I did further research and found out that my 512 GB UHS-I, U3 class MicroSD card was actually not compatible with the DJI Mini 2 because the drone itself only supports up to 256 GB and not until 512 GB. I learned my lesson that the drone actually only supports until 256. Guess that they were right in a way that it was a micro SD problem. After testing it for a day. I can conclude that my drone is fully functional.
Im getting mine tomorrow. Still on the fence about returning it since im more worried about people and the areas of no fly zones. Im been watching these vids for years.
Is my Galaxy A50 which is only 32bit compatible with DJI Mini 2 so I can download an app to it.. Will greatly appreciate your response before I purchase this drone.. TY
@@OttoJulian_ Thank you for you response Julian.. I wonder however, why they say the DJI Mavic mini 2 is only compatible with 64bit smart phone.. Which hesitates me to buy it yet.. Does it mean thay my 32bit A50 would still work but not a 100% suitable perhaps, as my last question to you sir? Thanks again..
@@jongabriel804 I am a little bit confused here Jonathan. I did a little research and the A50 does have a 64 bit chipset. Check this link, let me know if this is your phone www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-A50_id11075
Great video, I tried to connect my phone to the controller and I get the message: RC not connected to the mobile device. Has this happened to you before? The drone is new I haven't even had the chance to fly it yet. Tried different phones, different cables and I receive the same outcome. Any ideas?
Not really. Did you follow all the steps from the video? Also, there is only one end of the cable on the controller that works. When you look at them they are on the same position (both ends inserted into the controller) but one of those holes is empty and the other one is the one connected to the controler
Hey Otto, Thank you so much for this video. I have a question. When we are storing the mini 2 drone in the bag provided by DJI , how do we store it? what about the propellers ?
hello Paco. There is a propeller guard that you can buy for storage, I honestly don't use on of those, and I simply place the mini 2 inside any bag that I am using (dji or non dji) but being careful of the props placement so they don't bend. not sure If you get my point
Hi Otto.....just want to ask you something.....Im new user for the Mini 2....if the SD Card not slot in to the aircraft.....the features for the camera and video will not be available in the DJI Fly ? Is it
Also should you have the following on or off: Airplane mode and or bluetooth on your phone. I also share my Android sacreen to my tv so someone indoors can see what the drone sees. However if the controller/phone is to far away from my home I of course loose the signal. Anyway of getting a better signal back to my WIFI in the house? Again appreciate all your help.
Hello Henderson! airplane mode is not necessary but I strongly suggest not to take phone calls during a flight. Bluetooth usually stays on for me without any issues either. Regarding to you streaming to your TV, I think there are 2 ways to increase your signal strength. 1 move your router to a closer location to where you plan to be. 2 buy wifi extenders. Keep in mind that this might add interference. Hope this helps!!
Is there any special controller orientation that works better for signal strength to the drone? I see on the older controllers there are anttena's but not on this controller for the MINI 2. I also see they sell extenders for the new controller as well.
with this new controller you don't really need extenders. The top thing that is holding our phone is the antenna. Ideally you want to point the drone with them. This are very good questions, I should hire you before I come up with a drone video! 😊
Great walkthrough. Does no one at DJI play video games? Everyone knows the left stick is direction forward back left right. Right stick should then be turning and elevation. Would be nice if settings were user customizable.
Lol excellent comment. I feel you, and I think they do too. The default mode is called mode 2, which is the standard, but you can change it to Mode 3, which is identical to first person shooter games! 😄
I just purchased a DJI mini 2 and have watched many youtube videos including yours as well as printing a manual from DJI web site and they all show the same display,(ie. 3 dots upper right) mine however has 3 lines upper right and the camera view and display is totally different. my drone will not fly although screen says connected, says go fly, camera works and green light is flashing rear of drone, have sent several texts to DJI customer service but so far not much help, I am using a Samsung Galaxy 10 phone. Any suggestions?
@@vaibhavpisal7729 never happened to me, but according to dji forums, you need to update everything, fly app as well and restart the app. I would probably just reinstall the app and restart the phone.
Mini 2 is amazing. Don't try to grab it when in air. It took me up about 20 feet before I figured that out. Not really but it has some serious power behind it. Can handle 10 mph wind like it isn't there.
No, I use a backup phone without a sim card. So no phone data, wifi off, I don't think you need location on, but if you open the map it will be all white. It will still show the drone and your location
Yeah just like first person shooter video games. Although right stick is not to move the camera (you don't move the camera). It would be to rotate and fly up and down (ascend and descend)
OMG, that intro was amazing! I can tell why you haven't put out a video in a week... you've been playing with this thing! Now I was wanting a new fishing rod for Christmas, but now I really want this thing. (BTW, this video might blow up for you. Haven't all your DJI drone videos done great?)
Hey Matt!!! Thaaank you!! You have No idea, I have a few toys that I've been playing with including this baby. Let's see what happens with this video... lots of competition on the drone topic and I predict that this one will have some trouble ranking high. Have a great day Matt!
Good morning Otto I am Juan Carlos, from Spain, I follow your RUclips channel and I really like your tutorials, wonderful as you explain. I saw that you also touch on drones and I wanted to ask you a question. I have a DJI Mavic Pro with a DJI Crystalsky 5.5 "and I get the problem that when I have half the drone's flight battery I get the message that crystalsky is going to turn off due to overheating. Do you know what the problem could be? we were at an ambient temperature of 30 degrees. Thank you
I don't have any experience with the Crystalsky monitor so I really wouldn't know what's going on, but 30 degrees doesn't seem to be so hot and it might be the monitor that has an issue.
I bought a really cheap drone but decided buy this drone had it delivered today tbh im a bit nervous flying it my first time as looks complicated on the the settings but ive saved your video as you explain in detail if i do fly it ile go on a big field ive ordered a landing pad too i hope i get used to it once ive learned stuff off your video thank you for this video 💯💯😊
Just got my 2 SE and couldn't get it to take off. I guess I need to press the button. BUT - I don't yet have the SD card, and it's giving me a "preflight" error that I don't have the SD card. Will it not fly without it?
It should fly without an SD card, it never happened to me with this specific drone but I have forgotten to bring a memory card for other newer drones and I had to fly just for fun with no recording...
@@OttoJulian_ I'm a total noob with drones, this is my first one. Thanks for the reply - I found out there's a button on the left side of the screen for takeoff, and in the DJI video I finally found, pulling both sticks towards each other and down should start the rotors spinning. I flew RC airplanes many years ago so I suspect actual flying won't be a HUGE challenge, but getting used to the equipment has been a learning experience. :)
@@OttoJulian_ Yeah - that was the only one so I thought it was the one that counted. now I've figured it out - see my other comment. Thanks for the reply!
My drone doesn't get a picture on my phone. the DJI fly app just goes a white blank. I have tried several times. Once connected it does show the main app screen but anything I press just goes blank and I have trouble just to close the app.
There is a video in my channel about Mini3 problems. There is a similar problem that I described that applies to any drone. Check it out and let me know if that’s your problem (solution is also there)
I just got my mini and tried to pair the drone to the remote and it wasn't working. Additionally, I have an android and didn't see the DJI Fly app as an option. Will the DJI pilot app work?
@@OttoJulian_ one more question im sry I bought this dji for my boy, and im trying to connect the remote to the air craft with out the phone i dont know if im doing the right one, or the drone is defective. Its not working .
Not sure that the "charging the drone" comment is correct? You say that when the drone led on the front is lit SOLID, it's fully charged. My large LED light is SOLID, but there are still (two) BLINKING lights on the bottom indicating that it's not fully charged. I've only had the Mini 2 for an hour so I could be wrong... I'm still learning, but thanks for the video! (I'm charging the controller & drone now and hope to be in the air soon.)
Hi, I have noticed that a couple of times where the front LED is not consistent with the battery status. I always end up double checking the battery itself under the drone just like you did. Sorry for the confusion and I hope you enjoy your Mini 2
Hi Otto. All your video tutorials are great and easy to follow, that's why I love the way you explain things. Could you please do a video addressing particularly the battery charging the controller and DJI mini 2 battery hub, issues with charging and how to store the batteries after use? There's misconceptions on this topic and I am sure many would be pleased to get this part right. My DJI mini 2 combo is 3 months old but charging the 3 batteries is taking almost 24 hours on the battery hub, is that normal? Thanks again.
Best drone video that I have seen on operating the controller. most people are really rushing through it or this and they talk a whole lot about this and this and it kind of takes you away from things but you were on point and talked slowly. Great job!
Hello David! I'm so happy that I was able to cover key features, next is all about practicing. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi. No, once the return to home starts just pay attention to what’s happening
You saved me from panic and a hasty return! Excellent video!
You are welcome!
One of the complete video tutorial. Thanks for this, you help me to start the procedure for my new little drone :). Big like from me!
Hello!!! Thank you for your kind feedback, much appreciated!! Enjoy your Mini 2. It sure is a little drone, but it packs a lot of power
@@OttoJulian_ Yes, it is, I will try tomorrow for the first flight with her. Now charges the batteries and prepare for the updates...
@@Nelstill Sounds great!
@@OttoJulian_ Tell me where I can find dji care refresh activation code to activate my care refresh? Any advice?
@@Nelstill did you already purchase it?
Hello Otto! Thank you for sharing this information with us, this video is the easiest to understand for me. I will be using your videos to learn how to fly my new drone. I just received my DJI Mavic Mini 2 today, I purchased the fly-more bundle so I can use it for my RUclips channel.
Have a wonderful day and a Merry Christmas!
Thank you for educating us on this drone, God bless you my friend!
Sincerely,
Donnie (Standing Goats Rescue)
Hello Donnie! Thank you for your comment! I'm glad that it was helpful. I will be doing some more videos about this drone so stay tuned!
thank you otto, got mine today, appreciate this video , cheers from canada
Great news!! Enjoy your new drone! Cheers!!
Hey! I also have a DJI mini 2 and I am just wondering why can’t I create a video on my Mini 2 for no more than 30 seconds?
Hi John? That's strange, what seems to be the problem?
@@OttoJulian_ I don’t know. I contacted my local DJI store and they said it might be a micro SD problem even though my micro SD is a 512 GB SanDisk Extreme U3 UHS - I class. We’ll see today because I am going to the DJI store today.
@@johnmichaeluy5701 I initially thought it could be the sd card. I hope it all turns out to be nothing bad, if possible let me know the outcome, very interested in this kind of issues
@@OttoJulian_ ofcourse thank you!
@@OttoJulian_ Hey just an update about my DJI Mini 2! I just went from the DJI Retail Store and asked them about this issue. As you already know, they suspected it was a micro SD problem but they weren’t sure if this really is the problem as my micro SD card is fast enough read and write speeds since it is a 512 GB UHS-I, U3 class. They then proceeded to place a 128GB UHS-I, U3 class and then it worked! The video would record continuously. They were baffled as they didn’t know the issue but it appears it was fixed. So I bought the as card in the store. Later that night, I did further research and found out that my 512 GB UHS-I, U3 class MicroSD card was actually not compatible with the DJI Mini 2 because the drone itself only supports up to 256 GB and not until 512 GB. I learned my lesson that the drone actually only supports until 256. Guess that they were right in a way that it was a micro SD problem. After testing it for a day. I can conclude that my drone is fully functional.
Can I use fast change to change
Yeah I used a fast charging brick and I did notice that it charged very fast. I didn't time it though
Thank you...can you recommend an sd card was thinking about an Sandisk Extreme Pro 64 gig 🤔
I am a newbie, thanks for a very descriptive video. God Bless
You are so welcome
Im getting mine tomorrow. Still on the fence about returning it since im more worried about people and the areas of no fly zones. Im been watching these vids for years.
Hey there. You can’t fly in no-fly zones. The drone will let you know if you
Is my Galaxy A50 which is only 32bit compatible with DJI Mini 2 so I can download an app to it.. Will greatly appreciate your response before I purchase this drone.. TY
Hello! The A50 is a mid range smartphone, and you should not have any problem with the drone or app. Enjoy the drone!
BTW you can download the app before you buy the Mini 2. Search for dji fly app
@@OttoJulian_ Thank you for you response Julian.. I wonder however, why they say the DJI Mavic mini 2 is only compatible with 64bit smart phone.. Which hesitates me to buy it yet.. Does it mean thay my 32bit A50 would still work but not a 100% suitable perhaps, as my last question to you sir? Thanks again..
@@jongabriel804 I am a little bit confused here Jonathan. I did a little research and the A50 does have a 64 bit chipset. Check this link, let me know if this is your phone
www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-A50_id11075
@@jongabriel804 anyway, if you have a phone that has a 32 bit processor then I don't think you can even download the app.
This is exactly what I needed Otto. Thanks!
Happy to help!
Great video, I tried to connect my phone to the controller and I get the message: RC not connected to the mobile device. Has this happened to you before? The drone is new I haven't even had the chance to fly it yet. Tried different phones, different cables and I receive the same outcome. Any ideas?
Not really. Did you follow all the steps from the video? Also, there is only one end of the cable on the controller that works. When you look at them they are on the same position (both ends inserted into the controller) but one of those holes is empty and the other one is the one connected to the controler
Hello, can you safe videos and photos right on your phone without using the SD card on the drone?
Thanks for the video 🙌
You need the SD card on the drone to record videos in high resolution.
@@OttoJulian_ Great!! Thanks for the reply 🙌
Hey Otto, Thank you so much for this video. I have a question. When we are storing the mini 2 drone in the bag provided by DJI , how do we store it? what about the propellers ?
hello Paco. There is a propeller guard that you can buy for storage, I honestly don't use on of those, and I simply place the mini 2 inside any bag that I am using (dji or non dji) but being careful of the props placement so they don't bend. not sure If you get my point
@@OttoJulian_ thanks mate
Great video. Like step by step process of tutorial. I just got my mini 2. Does your come with micro SD Card? Any reccomendations? Thx
Hi, thanks for the feedback. No, it doesn't come with the microSD card. I like either Samsung or Sandisk, I use a 128GB one, and that's plenty enough
@@OttoJulian_ Thank you
You are welcome!!
Puedes hacer un tutorial de la cámara Sony Z V 1? Can you do a Sony Z V 1 camera tutorial?
Hola Antonio, no tengo la Sony ZV1 por ahora.
Hi Otto.....just want to ask you something.....Im new user for the Mini 2....if the SD Card not slot in to the aircraft.....the features for the camera and video will not be available in the DJI Fly ? Is it
Hi. Yes that's correct, some features are not going to be available until you have a memory card inserted (with enough space as well)
Thanks bro
You are welcome
Also should you have the following on or off: Airplane mode and or bluetooth on your phone. I also share my Android sacreen to my tv so someone indoors can see what the drone sees. However if the controller/phone is to far away from my home I of course loose the signal. Anyway of getting a better signal back to my WIFI in the house? Again appreciate all your help.
Hello Henderson! airplane mode is not necessary but I strongly suggest not to take phone calls during a flight. Bluetooth usually stays on for me without any issues either.
Regarding to you streaming to your TV, I think there are 2 ways to increase your signal strength. 1 move your router to a closer location to where you plan to be. 2 buy wifi extenders. Keep in mind that this might add interference. Hope this helps!!
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks. I only use this phone for the drone so it only has basic APPS on etc.
Oh ok! That sounds good, I also have a phone that I use just for drone purposes!! 🙂
This is such a professional video. So helpful
Hello Avery, thanks!
Is there any special controller orientation that works better for signal strength to the drone? I see on the older controllers there are anttena's but not on this controller for the MINI 2. I also see they sell extenders for the new controller as well.
with this new controller you don't really need extenders.
The top thing that is holding our phone is the antenna. Ideally you want to point the drone with them. This are very good questions, I should hire you before I come up with a drone video! 😊
@@OttoJulian_ No prob...would be free of charge. Appreciate all your responses.
What a great video, thank you - clear instructions. I look forward to seeing your other videos, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great walkthrough. Does no one at DJI play video games? Everyone knows the left stick is direction forward back left right. Right stick should then be turning and elevation. Would be nice if settings were user customizable.
Lol excellent comment. I feel you, and I think they do too. The default mode is called mode 2, which is the standard, but you can change it to Mode 3, which is identical to first person shooter games! 😄
Don't ask how I know 😆😆
That's good to know! Thanks!
Hi, just got my Mini2 for xmas, all is good except it chews the battery on my iphone in about 10 minutes, what can I do please?
🙃
Hi! There is an option to let the controller charge your smartphone while you have it connected. I think it might help
I just purchased a DJI mini 2 and have watched many youtube videos including yours as well as printing a manual from DJI web site and they all show the same display,(ie. 3 dots upper right) mine however has 3 lines upper right and the camera view and display is totally different. my drone will not fly although screen says connected, says go fly, camera works and green light is flashing rear of drone, have sent several texts to DJI customer service but so far not much help, I am using a Samsung Galaxy 10 phone. Any suggestions?
did you download the dji fly app from the Play Store? or did you download it directly from DJI's website?
Hi Otto, congrats for your Great video!!! I ve a question, How I May to record the flight data in the video? Regards.
On the menus turn on "subtitles". You will need to extract those on post
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks!!
Hi there, I'm using currently mini 2, what should do for indoor fly?. because it displays "unable to take off"
Are you located on a no fly zone?
@@OttoJulian_ nope, in outdoor there is no issue at all. But while flying indoor it displays that message
@@vaibhavpisal7729 never happened to me, but according to dji forums, you need to update everything, fly app as well and restart the app. I would probably just reinstall the app and restart the phone.
I haven’t purchased it yet but I will next week. Thank you for this informative video. Everything was well explained!
Thank you. I'm really glad that it was helpful
Mini 2 is amazing. Don't try to grab it when in air. It took me up about 20 feet before I figured that out. Not really but it has some serious power behind it. Can handle 10 mph wind like it isn't there.
this drone is quite powerful indeed
Do you need to have the phone wifi or phone data on?
do you need to have the phone location set to on?
No, I use a backup phone without a sim card. So no phone data, wifi off, I don't think you need location on, but if you open the map it will be all white. It will still show the drone and your location
@@OttoJulian_ Great, thanks for clearing that up 👍
You are welcome!!
Can I change it to (left stick moving forward, backwards, sideways. And right stick moving the camera?? Pleaseeee answer 😫😭
Yeah just like first person shooter video games. Although right stick is not to move the camera (you don't move the camera). It would be to rotate and fly up and down (ascend and descend)
Very helpful thanks just bought mine and never used one before
Glad I could help
OMG, that intro was amazing! I can tell why you haven't put out a video in a week... you've been playing with this thing! Now I was wanting a new fishing rod for Christmas, but now I really want this thing. (BTW, this video might blow up for you. Haven't all your DJI drone videos done great?)
Hey Matt!!! Thaaank you!! You have No idea, I have a few toys that I've been playing with including this baby. Let's see what happens with this video... lots of competition on the drone topic and I predict that this one will have some trouble ranking high. Have a great day Matt!
Matt what iphone did you get for your mini 2? I have someone asking about it on this comment section
@@OttoJulian_ it’s a 7. App works great with it.
Good morning Otto
I am Juan Carlos, from Spain, I follow your RUclips channel and I really like your tutorials, wonderful as you explain. I saw that you also touch on drones and I wanted to ask you a question. I have a DJI Mavic Pro with a DJI Crystalsky 5.5 "and I get the problem that when I have half the drone's flight battery I get the message that crystalsky is going to turn off due to overheating. Do you know what the problem could be? we were at an ambient temperature of 30 degrees. Thank you
I don't have any experience with the Crystalsky monitor so I really wouldn't know what's going on, but 30 degrees doesn't seem to be so hot and it might be the monitor that has an issue.
@@OttoJulian_ Thank you, I thought that 30 degrees is not as much temperature as for that. Thanks
I bought a really cheap drone but decided buy this drone had it delivered today tbh im a bit nervous flying it my first time as looks complicated on the the settings but ive saved your video as you explain in detail if i do fly it ile go on a big field ive ordered a landing pad too i hope i get used to it once ive learned stuff off your video thank you for this video 💯💯😊
you are welcome! and good luck with it. Just remember, baby steps, one thing at a time
@OttoJulian_ I had my drone today the dj mini se how long does it take charge thanks too
Thank u. I got a new drone. I am following your instructions
you are welcome! hope you enjoy it
Just got my 2 SE and couldn't get it to take off. I guess I need to press the button. BUT - I don't yet have the SD card, and it's giving me a "preflight" error that I don't have the SD card. Will it not fly without it?
It should fly without an SD card, it never happened to me with this specific drone but I have forgotten to bring a memory card for other newer drones and I had to fly just for fun with no recording...
did you check other errors or warnings?
@@OttoJulian_ I'm a total noob with drones, this is my first one. Thanks for the reply - I found out there's a button on the left side of the screen for takeoff, and in the DJI video I finally found, pulling both sticks towards each other and down should start the rotors spinning.
I flew RC airplanes many years ago so I suspect actual flying won't be a HUGE challenge, but getting used to the equipment has been a learning experience. :)
@@OttoJulian_ Yeah - that was the only one so I thought it was the one that counted. now I've figured it out - see my other comment. Thanks for the reply!
Aloha OTTO, which app do we download? I cant seem to connect my phone to the drone😢
DJI FLY www.dji.com/global/mobile/downloads/hot
@@OttoJulian_ downloading now and I'll let you know...mahalo🤙🏼
My drone doesn't get a picture on my phone. the DJI fly app just goes a white blank. I have tried several times. Once connected it does show the main app screen but anything I press just goes blank and I have trouble just to close the app.
There is a video in my channel about Mini3 problems. There is a similar problem that I described that applies to any drone. Check it out and let me know if that’s your problem (solution is also there)
I like your clear and concise video's. Thank you :)
You are welcome !!
Can you fly the mavic 2 by using the controller from the mavic mini 2
hello, I'm not so sure, but my best guess is that you can't.
@@OttoJulian_ thanks anyway bud
What resolution do u see on the phone from this drone? I want to see it in 1080p
Hi John. Do you mean at what resolution do I shoot the videos? I usually shoot at 4K
@@OttoJulian_ I mean what resolution do u see on the phone screen? I want to see good resolution on the phone screen really.
My bad. I think the maximum resolution is 720p
@@OttoJulian_ Can I get to see it in 1080p or much higher resolution on phone??
@@johnanthony7988 what I meant is that the maximum resolution transmited to your phone is 720p. So no 1080p resolution
Just got the Mini 2 so very helpful advice - thanks Otto.
Hello Twiglet! Thanks! I'm glad that it was helpful
@@OttoJulian_ Cheers Otto - now the only thing that's getting me down is gravity !
Can you change the meters to feet?
Yeah Inside the settings
Can you fly with the camera cover on ?
you need to remove the cover to turn on the drone, otherwise the gimbal might get damaged.
I just got my mini and tried to pair the drone to the remote and it wasn't working. Additionally, I have an android and didn't see the DJI Fly app as an option. Will the DJI pilot app work?
hi, it needs to be the dji fly app. What phone do you have? I know that older android phones are not compatible with this app
Hi otto could you tell me which app that i need to istall, there is no dji fly app, only dji go 4 is that the one thanks?
It has to be the DJI Fly app. Go to DJI and download directly from them. It's the only way
@@OttoJulian_ one more question im sry
I bought this dji for my boy, and im trying to connect the remote to the air craft with out the phone i dont know if im doing the right one, or the drone is defective. Its not working .
Can u tell me pls how? Connect romote to drone without the phone
Kuya. You need to use the phone on the controller.
Not sure that the "charging the drone" comment is correct? You say that when the drone led on the front is lit SOLID, it's fully charged. My large LED light is SOLID, but there are still (two) BLINKING lights on the bottom indicating that it's not fully charged. I've only had the Mini 2 for an hour so I could be wrong...
I'm still learning, but thanks for the video! (I'm charging the controller & drone now and hope to be in the air soon.)
Hi, I have noticed that a couple of times where the front LED is not consistent with the battery status. I always end up double checking the battery itself under the drone just like you did. Sorry for the confusion and I hope you enjoy your Mini 2
Hi Otto. All your video tutorials are great and easy to follow, that's why I love the way you explain things. Could you please do a video addressing particularly the battery charging the controller and DJI mini 2 battery hub, issues with charging and how to store the batteries after use? There's misconceptions on this topic and I am sure many would be pleased to get this part right. My DJI mini 2 combo is 3 months old but charging the 3 batteries is taking almost 24 hours on the battery hub, is that normal? Thanks again.
Hi Sal, how have you been. No, it's not normal for the hub to take that long to charge. I'll look into it
Thank you very much Otto for the very informative video
Thank you for watching! It is my pleasure to help out with these videos
Hi. It seems that the app download is a store not a fly app. Any help is appreciated here.
Where are you doing the download from. For what kind of phone?
Finally a helpful video...subscribed
Hello! Thanks for your feedback!!!
What a helpful video you created!!!!!!❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad you think so!
And I’m watching it right now!!!! And will rewatch tomorrow when I charge the drone and controller! 🎉
