  • Check out the inside of this DJI Mini 2 drone after enduring rain, snowfall, fog, and freezing temperatures, and even taking a dive into the river! In this video, I disassemble and clean the drone to see how it fared after all of these extreme conditions.
    Thank you ‪@DJI‬ for great build quality! Everything still works 👍🏻

    Overwhelming work! Not just disassembling and cleaning your drone in detail, also the camera angles you filmed the whole process. Itˋs nice to watch and I wish you all the best! Looking forward to see more of your videos 👍👍👍

    My Dji Drone cried all the way through this as we sat and watched it together ❤

    Nice vid. Hot tip (no pun intended), once you dip soldering iron in Flux wipe the crud off on a damp sponge then apply a small amount of solder to the tip to act as a heat transfer. The solder joint will melt faster and avoid lifting the circuit traces on the board. For small close in work like you did a smaller tip would serve you well too. Blue skies.

    Just happened to me today 😢 washed it with distilled water and dried it with blower and then soaked it in rice hopefully after 5 days it would still work 🤞

    Fantastic video. First time I see the inside of a dji mini. Amazing how you got it back to work again.

    Great job! Not for the faint of heart, but much more satisfying when you fix it yourself.

    This was an awesome video. Good job! I have a few suggestions that you could consider. First since it was already completely soaked with water, I would totally soak in deionized water each part and board using the brush followed by a soak in 70% alcohol and again brushing clean then dry on paper towels with a blow dryer. The metal square cans most likely contain the RF radio chips and are shielded. If possible, pry those off to get a good soaking/cleaning inside those and dry well before assembly. You could bake the boards in the oven at say 250 Deg F for 20 minutes to dry completely without any harm. Use fresh solder on each connection to the motors and use heat sink paste to better transfer heat when placing the heat sink to the bottom.

    Fantastic job! Motivation in it's best, calming and clear without distractions and also the assurance that one hopefully can recover a mini 2 if worst case scenario happens :D

    I just did a repair video on 2 of my mini's that had crashed. One became a submarine and the other wanted to dig in the sand. They are both now operational again. I tagged your channel in my description. Thanks so much for the help! JD

    I felt like my heart sunk down to my feet when my drone crashed into a cliffside and then into a tree, it still flew but there was that damn nagging feeling. Yet, here you are taking it apart and cleaning wow! I wish I had the technical know how 😮
