Thanks Dustin for doing such a great job on all of your reviews and putting so much into them, i always enjoy watching and seeing your new uploaded review. Keep up your great work!!
Congrats on the pinned comment Jared and I'm glad you enjoy the work I put into these tests 👍🍻
Couldn’t have said it better myself, congratulations Jared 🍾🎊🎈🎉
@@DustinDunnill Why is no reviewer taking about android 10 not working on dji fly. Its been weeks not thousands of people can't fly their drones.
Because they don't have an Android 10 phone? First I've heard of the issue.
@@DustinDunnill yeah guess soo. Lots of noise on dji forums and people can't fly the drones however havent noticed anything on RUclips. Cheers for reply
The stabilization is just incredible in all of that wind!
Matthew Wolfe I've been extremely impressed with my mavic mini only had it for a week now but I live RIGHT on the beach so if I wait for no wind I'll never be able to fly..so I've just been learning how to deal with it and it's done great with wind for me so far! Up to 15-25 mph winds in sport mode no prob! The visual got a lil fuzzy and skipped once but was for a split second and came right back on! Great drone for first timers (IMO)..but if you normally end up buying aftermarket parts for other things you might out grow this drone really wuick
It does have amazing stabilization. I flew mine for the 2nd time on a kinda windy day at the beach but had to land it quick cuz I’m still new and scared.
Masha Allah
Poor Drone must been thinking..."Dude too Windy"....lol
You should see the Lok Cheung wind test video of this. He sent it far off and around a cliffside really high and it did fine.
@@KandiKlover Wow OK...Thanks
You HAVE to like this video if only for the time, effort and risk taking for the sake of informing others.
I dont HAVE to do anything buckaroo
@@bradley9856 DO IT !!
@@Airbag888 - NO -
Good morning Dustin, Just want to thank you. For doing this high winds, Endurance test. Since no one else will do it...Your the Man Bro!
As hard as that thing was fighting the wind, that was pretty impressive. The gimble did a really good job too.
To say with the amount of wind on the return to home that did an amazing job...
I’m glad you don’t just review £/$1000+ drones and review affordable drones that are worth affording, you’re my go to guy for reviews 🤣
Ive seen too many video's where RTH killed the Mini. Dont know if Pilot error but if wind is above 12, ill take out the Mav 2
I think if you would have officially checked that the wind was actually blowing more like 30 mph.
That would really be good to know, exactly, what he was dealing with there. Amazing video though.
that little guy is almost perfect!
thx for putting it to the test
Based partly on your enjoyable & informative videos I've bought the "Fly More" combo & I'm very pleased with it. One thing I do know is that when wind blows around any object such as a building (or even a person for that matter), when it "meets up again" on the other side of it there will be a bit of natural turbulence as it coalesces & a small zone where the wind speed will actually fluctuate wildly & even increase. So when you walk around any drone in such high winds (presenting us with a sweet view of the drone trying to cope), keep this phenomena in mind because the drone may suddenly lurch forward directly at you when you're upwind creating this spot of artificial turbulence & while seeing you have to dance about (& perhaps even perform a quick dirt dive) might be entertaining, I've certainly no desire to see you (or your drone) injured in any way. Thanks again for your Mavic Mini videos.
You are really taking risks with this one😂 But thanks for doing it for us!👍
That’s why flying is safe for mankind because test pilots risk it all for our wellbeing and safety. It’s good when you buy a drone to know it’s limits in the most extreme condition.
xenomorph42 It would be helpful if it calculated the wind speed/direction when flying, instead of just giving an advisory for “strong winds”. I bet a software update could include that.
I can't wait to try mine out. Loving this series of videos thanks so much.
Great job! This drone is surely targeted at less experienced pilots than other DJI drones so the more videos like this that highlight the wind resistance issues and fixes (Sport mode and reducing altitude) the BETTER!!
I was in the Big Bend area of Texas (basically middle of nowhere) this past weekend and the wind was a steady 20ish mph. I made the mistake of flying downwind and my mini didn't have enough power to fly back home against the wind. I put the drone in sport mode and even with full stick it was drifting further and further away. I had to think fast... I dropped altitude until I could get some lateral movement and was able to fly it close to the one and only road for miles and land. I hopped on my motorcycle and found the drone over two miles away. So yeah... there is definitely a point where the mini will become a kite and will fly away.
Fly backwards and the gimbal and nose are out of the wind.
@@SenatorPerry Yes... I too learned that from watching the above video. Unfortunately my experience happened two days before you and I both learned that. The good news is that I was smart enough to land it where it was safely and easily retrievable. :)
Nothing is ever done small in Texas... Really happy that you found your drone, that had to be a little nerve racking for a time.
@@SenatorPerry That is a great idea. I will keep that in the back of my little mind. Thanks.
Would love to see side by side with the spark with the strong winds. Do you recommend someone upgrading to the mavic mini from the spark ?
For the better 2.7k cam and great video stability / flight time I'd upgrade but you lose some app functions and sensors the spark has.
yeah the cam and flight time is sooooooooooo good, and the portability is huge for me. I hope they update the app to bring some of the features over. I don't care about the sensors really, and they don't have any *real* bearing on some of the follow features, but I bet DJI will keep it somewhat crippled.
Keep em both, the one with the most toys wins ! :-)
@@098Chris Try flying the Spark with the sensors off, it is much more fun. I'd only leave the sensors on when I knew I was going to be flying near obstacles. I was planning on buying the Parrot Anafi and I was worried about having no sensors so I tried switching them off. It was five months later before I ever switched them back on. The speed difference is amazing, it flies almost as fast as in sports mode but without that "has it just broken its neck?" panic.
@@MartinWillett i never used the sensors on the spark, they are a total waste.
I'd like to see a range test in Sport mode. This little drone handles that wind so well for its size. Impressive.
What would be different in sport mode?
@@-never-gonna-give-you-up- Sport Mode enables the drone to fly faster which would deplete battery more quickly. Wondering what effect on the range would be.
@@michaelerbreviews ahhhhhh yeah I get it, yeah i would be curious too
Before your videos I had a lot of questions, but now I don’t have any! Thx for such great reviews !!
I live in Southern California, close to the beaches. And in here, the wind get strong in the beaches. I tried this monster and maaaan, it handles it very good. Glad of my purchase
Thx very much for your tested. I follow your clip about DJI mavic mini caouse I just buy it, and I know a lot of things from your clip. You did great job!!
Why did I feel bad for the drone trying his best to get home in the windstorm? 😅😅😰😢
Lol I was Mesmerized by the dance and music’ lol as always bro. Great video! 🤘🤟🤙
Can't you use the little < symbol next to the "mode" to get out of the "selfie" modes rather than the clunky way of going back through the video etc?
The Gimbal is a God-send; this would be a vomit inducer without it.
Hi as a complete novice this vlog was so useful easy to understand with no jargon I fully understood it all thanks
Poor thing struggling , she has some fight in her though. Thanks for the video.
good info, that mic you using must be very good , the sound is always perfect !
Yes I linked my gear in description and with the windscreen on the mic holds out the wind 👍
there I found it, I watched your mavic air 2 wind test and was looking for this mini one😍
Will these drone work with a galaxy s7 phone? I been considering getting one
That range test was an awesome video man. Could not believe how perfectly close you cut it. Another 10 seconds and you could have landed it right in front of you.
Great tutorial Dustin, just got mine yesterday and hoping to take it up today.
I’ll come back to watch this again after I finally get my mavic mini.
Edit: I finally got it about a week later!!!
Yay it looks like such a good drone
How are you getting on with it,is it as good as you expected? Iv been thinking about getting one for a few weeks
My Parrot would've been down the road at the moment I would've taken off. That Anafi doesn't hold position for nothing buahahahahaha
I can hear Da Pidgin screaming to come out Lol🤣 I jes' saw it down at Costco yesterday. It's October 2020...the month I go and own one of these Mini's. Mahalo fo da vid🤙🏽🤙🏽
😂 eh braddah, you Dakine eh? 😂🤙
Amazing video in that wind, so happy i bought this one, should have it by tomorrow, ty for vid pal 👍👍👍
So...fly my Anafi when there’s high wind...but definitely can fly the Mini when there’s no major weather front moving directly over me. 🤣. Fantastic review of high wind with the Mini. PS..Anafi is still the best kept secret...just saying.
the lil' drone that could.
Most helpful video. I probably would not fly with my expensive Maverick mini if I do end up buying it. It will be the most expensive drone that I have. I usually don't like to buy them expensive because then something will happen like what you are talking about in this video. But I have about 6 drones right now all price the round two hundred bucks. But if I spend the 500 for this drone I certainly probably wouldn't fly it in 20 mile an hour winds. But you never know and now with your video I understand what it can do and what it can't. I think the on-board electronics of the DJI drones are much better. So it actually thinks and tries to fight more.
One time I had a jjrc X9 fly away from me and I think that was caused from magnetic interference that tricked the Drone into thinking that it was fighting against the wind because it was producing a magnetic field in the gyroscope. I talked to an electronic company that I work with here in Europe and we discussed it that if there's heavy a magnetic field electromagnetic interference it can actually induce a charge in a chip that would be understood similarly to input that it normally would read as like fighting against the wind. It's difficult to explain you're actually making a slight electromagnetic voltage in the chip so therefore the computer reads this as if it was a reading. And that explains why the Drone full powered away from me when I wasn't in putting any stick movement.
Thank you for your video
First, I want to say thank you for doing the test, with your drone, to help prepare the rest of us, as to what the drone can do in this environment. So helpful. But, I'm sure there are many others who watched this video, and you made a few comments as to whether the video would look ok, well as I'm watching this video, I was in awe, as to how well that 3 axis gimbel held such an incredible steady shot, that was amazing. The camera systems on dji, especially a $400.00 dollar drone, held up, under intense winds. Thank you for your time, and sharing such great information for the rest of us.
Really impressed with this video well actually all your videos !!! Just got home Mavic Mini haven't used it yet because my phone is from the 1920s lol but got a new one coming(lgg6 still old but newer 😀) it should be better for this system and look forward to using it keep up the great work
I can soooo relate to your needing a phone to do the job. Same issue for me. I didn't want to drop more money on a new phone. Android's may soon be past history for me.
Love your videos. Going to treat myself to a Mavic Mini after Xmas. It seems perfect for my needs. Thanks! Keep those videos coming!
Hey Dustin merry Christmas and cheers for the awesome videos to keep me entertained while I've been off with a broken ankle it's definitely helped keep the boredom away
I just got one Christmas 2020 and it keeps on impressing me. Much OBLIGED for the video! >:0
Impressive for that much wind and good flying ! Thanks for another great vid.
Thanks Dustin. A comprehensive wind review of this very capable drone.
Goddamn! Talk about a close call, it’s amazing what that little drone is capable of. I was at the edge of my seat with my heart racing on the last endurance test you did where you went 3.5 miles and got back with 0% battery. Just amazing!
DJI did a great job on the flight control system and aerodynamics of this drone. Wow!!!
I will be buying this drone because of YOU...and your GREAT videos. Thank you.
Whats the song at 3:00? please answer
I thought I had seen all your videos.. how could I have missed this one? I love your reviews, Dustin! Keep up the great work. I'm really looking forward to your Air 2S flight test!
I'm a storm chaser and plan on using this drone to take some storm photography. I am amazed that this little 249g drone can handle itself in winds 20-30mph! Granted, flying in these kind of conditions is not the smartest, but when in range of a supercell or any other type of intense storm, these conditions will likely be unavoidable. Thank you for this particular review and all of your other Mavic Mini ones!
@Russell Smith where’d you get that info? You said it can handle winds 20 to 30mph but Google says it’s about 18 mph winds...
Oh wait never mind :P
DJI Mini is good. It is really windy still that Mini gave a good fight. I think i will buy Mini.
The wind was crazy!
That is crazy wind for the Mini. I wouldn't even take my Mav 2 in this wind. Good video.
Angel Lopez lol and I take my spark into windier conditions ofyen
@@finnleithomczyk5292 in My field that mini would be an instant Lawn Mower if it missed that pad.
new to your chanel. so useful 👍 and now im like...... yes its okay have more than one drone lol
Now this dude is on point. Information on point and great yo watch. Thanks buddy! Epic video
You always give me exactly what I want, This channel deserves a Subscription.
Dustin yet another fantastic test video bro, the quality of footage was still superb in that wind, I've got a test video with the Mavic Soon, really enjoyed every minute of this video bro 👍🥰👍
Your very good at it Good Luck to your Channel. ;-)
i sold my spark flymore and brought mavic mini flymore and litchi its a amazing little drone totaly love it glad i took the plunge is brilliant with ipad range and quality cannot fault great review as always
My biggest complaint with the mini is the phone holder on the controller. But that's probably more on me for having a large phone.
You had me at skatepark.. haha awesome video! I love my mavic mini!
Thinking to get the Mavic mini for fun fly, thanks for the detailed review. :)
Ok, range test done, wind test done, what about snow, freezing rain or battery life time in -15C ? :) Hey, it's winter
Amazing !!! 249g !!! Magic Mini 😉👍🚁
Sorry I have been in many situations and that wind is 30-40 mph gusts Wheres your wind meter
Insane performance for its size.. I. Had to buy one.. but the wind can take a long term toll on those little motors
For hard landings, guessing backwards is better to protect the gimble camera.
Any chance you will ever do a video on some of the accessories available, like antenna range extenders or whatever they are & other items?
Really appreciates these detailed videos answers a lot a questions I had
Hey Dustin, that's a great video.
I was wondering why the FPV kept freezing up? Did you notice this?
This is the sole reason I'm unable to convince myself to get this drone. I own the Mavic Air and the same thing keeps happening. The FPV freezes up occasionally even when the drone is just 200-300ft away from me.
Yes, the "enhanced wifi" as DJI calls it is very hit or miss when it comes to surrounding interference. I've had days of horrible interference and days where I took some "enhanced wifi"dji drones like Mavic Air 1 miles out without a hiccup at this same spot. 🍻
this is amazing drone for the new user..😊
just bought one for my girlfrind and I for xmass ,, wanna say im really enjoying your vids , far better than anyone else on u tube ,, I going to nz next xmass to visit my daughter in new plymouth .. by then I should know what im doing by watching yer vids :)
It really is ok, too say, Christmas.
Just found your channel thinking about getting this little guy for our holiday this year, great detail and well presented thanks so much ❤️
Man watching your videos is like watching an action packed movie. Puts me on the edge of my seat every time. Great videos but man your gonna give me a heart attack one of these days. lmao.
This video has just bought the mini for me awesome for size, weight and money 👌
I have one of these. I think its the best low cost drone out there...great video👍....
I think only insane drone users would launch one in this kind of wind...
Hum... I did launch my disco once, saw it was stationary at cruise speed... managed to land... won’t do it again... I’m insane but trying to cure myself... ;)
Im really impressed with this drone just wish it had a follow me mode
Apparently DJI just issued a firmware update for the Mini which corrects the insufficient power popup warning and some stability issues.
Yes they did. We're all hoping for one that unlocks some good stuff like "follow me" and regular orbit 👍
That was just so cool and soooo imformative. Thanks for educating all of us and making it so simple.
Good job brah. Cool DJI. Mahalos for da video cuz. Aloha :)
Don’t fly in the wind. I did yesterday and the wind took it about 2400 meters
hey, do you have the same bug like me? do you see the blurry line at the bottom of your video?
Thank you for the informative review. Always look forward to your videos.
I went on a flight today with the mini, didn't feel too much wind but apparently there are more winds up there. Flew something like 200 meters and then wanted to bring it back, but the wind was not in my favor. Nothing more stressful than pushing the stick forward but seeing your drone only drift further and further away. I tried initiating RTH but I think the drone didn't catch the signal. Eventually it activated the failsafe RTH and it managed to fight the wind, coming closer and closer back home, but ended up running into a tree right near my house, 10 meters up. Had to go buy a really long metal rod to get it down.
Thanks for doing all these tests so that I know what the extremes are for my future drone!!!
Wow!!... Awesome vid mate!!
Actually felt sorry for this tiny little drone... It worked so hard for a sub 250gr beast. Huge effort just to stay on "home plate" OMG!! battery temp at 40+ degrees celcius wasn't bad at all either... hmmmm
Love the reviews mate.. the long distance one really had me on the edge of my seat...!
Really thinking of buying this little guy, after playing with some "toy grade" China quads with cameras. (One in particular is really good, Parts are easy to get...but battery life is average...
Hi Dustin, I did The same test, Against strong winds with the Mavic Mini, I took a Huge risk in the mountains around 7000 Feet altitudes, I Lost the control, I tried Sport mode to make my Return but that was even worst, makes the drone even more unstable, the Wind push The drone further away, then i made The change from sport to Cinema mode and recover The control, it took a while Return but becomes stable, that’s my experiencie on this situation
Good to know. Maybe too much angle and the wind pushes the top. With cinema mode it's slow but more aerodynamic 👍
Wow not flying way from windy 🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬💨💨💨💨💨
thats quite a test very good video for me to make a decision to buy?
I've ordered mine 2 weeks ago. I can't wait until its here.
Every few weeks I have to work on a cruise ship, and that when I want to fly it. At the harbour around the ship and things like that. I am so looking forward to it!
That would be some cool footage.
@@keithstewart7514 yes it would but since I have got my drone I only have been on a cruise ship once and they didn't allow drones on the ship.... Just after that ship corona came!
Thanks for sharing this kind of experience. I'd be afraid to fly under these conditions. Regards from Germany
Got my Mini today. too windy and we still flied it. It kept blowing away and I forgot to land.
My brother ran into fields behind it....
I ran behind my brother...
My asian dad ran behind us with a stick.
For a super light weight drone, the video is very steady. I think the mini is a fantastic deal for $399. Great Drone.
I hate DJI for there customer support and their seemingly endless updates but I got to admit they are in a league by themselves when it comes to drone performance
Want a drone pretty bad but the dji cs stories put me on hold. Debating buying the mini but already see posts on Reddit about fly aways and dji being a pain in the ass.
Nice test, i can see how it fight against the wind. Mavic mini is really great, but strong winds are your enemy!
Good vibes from Brasil🇧🇷
Keep up the great work Dustin.
I’ve got mine coming on the 11th December .
Thank you for all the work you do no UAV .
If I get operatunity to get my mates switched on to a
UAV pilots can’t thinking of any one I’d rather then subscribe to .
Thank you Dustin
Great test. The Mavic Mini is something else considering it's size. Especially in that wind. I guess fighting the wind is an area the larger drones excel though. I'll pretty commonly fly my Mavic Pro in 20-30 MPH winds without much thought. Just gotta keep track of which way you left so you know if you need extra power for the return trip, lol.
5:03 who see the falling guy ?😂
Where?
as far as i can tell now for my 1st drone i will definitely going for this.
thanks for the reviews it really help me a lot. i mean a lot..
just do it. mavic mini is my first drone too and it is just amazing what it can do and easy of use.
Thanks for the video Justin. You're braver than me. I wouldn't put ANY drone up in that breeze. I have flown my mini about six times now and every time I fly it I'm impressed by it. Today I accidentally flew it into some tree branches because I lost sight of it behind another tree. I lost sight and simply let go of the sticks and walked over to where it was without looking at my fpv. It was hovering perfectly still between the branches! I just backed it out and kept flying!! Really good product for the money! Thanks again for the vids!!
