      @@patrickcooperstockfootage1185 yea but they did this to make you wanna buy a mini 2 the mini 2 was in the works along side the mini 1.. they havent been working on this drone a few months after.. what they did was said how can we get more money and screw over the customer lets offer another drone with the same stuff on it just give them a remote and put a number 2 on it and a 4k on the camera that oviously has the sensor capable of actually shooting 4k and occusyn built in but disabled...
      folks weve been duped this is how dji operates.. they did it with the naza controlers way back when they messed up on the firmware said hey we fixed it but you have to buy this new one at 100 more... when a hacker came around found out they just changed the code and he gave the code for free... then comes the phantom line the only line worthy of 4 k and worthy of occusyne and true diversity antennas etc.. then thewy said oh no one can afford them we need more profittttttttttttts morereee profits so they made the spark it sucked range suffered they called it enhanced wifi lol nothing enhanced just a name the transmitters got hot the drone got hot why 1 watt of power the transmitter put out almost 1 wqatt on the drone why they knew when they made it it would suck how do you compinsate you increase dbi and watts or just watts.. then came the air.. it sucked same bs then the air 2 better finally...alittle better fss hopping... then came the mavic pro.. etc now with the mini.. folks the only line to use true good high quality 4k sensors was the phantom 3 pro and 4 models they used good chips actual hardwear for the diversity and fss hopping after phantom they said fuck it lets use a off the shelf wifi chip and just add code...
      btw my spektrum dx8 uses fss hopping its from 2012 and and get this it didnt have it before they just added code to the arm processor or arduinno chip[ to say hay do this and voila ... so this new mini all they did was take a mini off the shelf stick stickers on it grab a transmitter put in some code and some bs lines its better it goes 10k psst it dont... i saw 3 miles max... first to have any good system you need to hope freq you need diversity antennas.. the video must be on 2 channels and be rock solid yopu must have antennas on the transmitter that are bigger and more power..
      if you want range add a 2 watt powered wifi booster to your transmitter owith a external lipo pack.. it will only garantee you transmitt it wont garantee yoru video breaks up from the drone the drone is wayyy to small to add a 1 watt transmitter on it for the video..
      and no ones decoded the signal yet in fact no ones be able to get to the main code to see whats really on these things.. why i dont know geohotz gave us the ps3 broke the code i wish he came on the case and really opened it up.. as it stands.. you can pay 25 bnucks to some hacking site i did to get 1.5-1.8 wsatts outta your transmitter i dont kno if its true i paid them to try it out their software said it was enabled... proof i dunno no way to prove it unless i get a watt meter i guess those little ones that have antennas that detect freq and watts... but really you want range and 4k get a action cam a good one a really good one strap it to a mavic pro or phantom line phantoms for the weight carrying and then do that you can add any transmitter... and use some fat sharks with that... dji has really screwed us over

  • @papsny
    @papsny 3 года назад +2

    I have the mini 1 and have been thinking about upgrading to the mini 2. I use the mini for casual use, the "drone in the bag" in case it is needed. If I have a gig or have pro work, there are other drones I can bring. I wish they did 4K 60fps or at least change the sensor. For the most part, you can still live with 1080 or 2K res. As Billy mentioned, the quality is similar. The only thing holding me back is the remote for the mini. It is functional and great, however it defeats the whole "mini" thing. The new controller is bigger than the mini, the original one is more compact/portable. I appreciate the review and Billy did a good job with his points.
    For now, I wIll wait for the Mini 3

    thanks for sharing ... I'm an owner of the first iteration of the mini and viewing the videos and photos you've uploaded I really don't think the changes are wrenching enough to justify the 2. The video is of course better but not amazingly better and yes the flight performance will also be better. And whilst the flight time and performance is improved its sill effected by the wind having a light profile. The better upgrade for owners of the mini is to go from the 1 to the Air 2 which does have a larger sensor and for both still and video photography and better flight dynamics.

    So as soon as the mini 2 came out, the going price for a lightly used mini fell substantially. You can get a mini with the flymore extras for 300 or less. I myself (as a non-professional) can't see a meaningful difference in the photo quality. IMO, in nearly all cases this isn't worth the upgrade.

    Billy have you noticed jerky gimbal movements of mini 2 at random times ( not always in S mode or windy conditions )? I also noticed some noise ( in dark colours )in 4K footage of my mini 2 . Is this normal ?

    Wow, great video Billy. At first I was disappointed with the original mini. Gave mine to a friend new to drones. Got MA 2 and have been extremely pleased with it. Bought every possible accessory for it. Anyway I am now very interested in the mini 2. Dji needs to hire you as a pitch man because now I really have to get one. Very awesome drone everything considered. Mine will be here in a few days. Thanks for your great work on these videos. Thumbs up...
    Way up.

    One year later I'm watching this as a potential first drone buyer in Australia and I have choices of a DJI refurbished Mini for $339 as the cheap option , refurb Mini 2 for 629 , brand new Mini 2 Fly More Combo for $949 ( three batteries and all the spares ) or a DJI Mavic Air 2 for $1499 , all in aussie dollars .
    Right now I'm leaning to the $949 option , that equates to $699 USD at the current rate of exchange .
    I don't want to buy a toy but I don't want to sell the farm to buy a drone either , especially as a novice . Constructive thoughts welcome , thanks .

    I heard that the Mini has NiMH batteries whereas the Mini 2 has LifePo4 (Lithium Phosphate) batteries which are lighter. Great informative video.

    If I were to pack without a case? Is it okay to have it exposed in the bag?

  • @rappy90

    I have the mini. I'll likely get the mini 2 for the raw photo feature (even though I feel the mini could have had a firmware update to shoot in raw) but I also like the new range. The reason I i'd get the mini 2 over the air 2 is because I still won't have to register the drone or have a license to operate it. I basically see the mini 2 as a mavic air 2 mini ;)

    Thank you for the tips but, because of the flight laws in Canada and the USA. The mini and mini 2 is for me for the at home use so, I will do your suggestions and up grade to the 2.
