    Got my mini on Sunday and charged up the batteries and the controller on Sunday night. Monday night I was pairing in my office and the blades started spinning. Grabbed the drone and cut my hands on the props. Both hands. Learned lesson 1. Will try and get out tomorrow for first flight. Thanks for the beginner's video. 73 years old here.

    Thanks for the info. I just bought a mini from my brother who had it for less than 2 months. It was a good deal. 3batt. and a charging bank for $400. Then I found out my Iphone would not support it. So now I had to purchase a new phone (iphone 8plus) Wow I wonder if I came out ahead. So be it. Life is too short to worry about it.

    • @carsonmtech
      @carsonmtech  4 года назад +1

      Hmmm, I haven’t tried that myself, but my guess is no. A longer cable is only like $5 though, so I don’t think it should be that big of an issue! Sorry about that tho!

    When I first started flying (not long ago) I had a little trouble remembering which action the 2 controller sticks did in mode 2 Now I use this saying. The one on the left is UP, DOWN AND SPIN AROUND. The right is the 4 DIRECTIONS. Up, back and side to side. But the up UP DOWN AND SPIN AROUND helps me to keep it right in my head.

    Ohh did I mess up today. I got my new Mavic Mini a month ago. Been logging some flights and learning what I can do. Tonight as the sun was setting I was flying over my lake. I was making really low passes. The video looked awesome. At about 2 feet off the surface I accidentally pulled back on the controller thinking I would climb.. My airplane days.. It went into landing mode. My poor drone is gone in the drink. Our boat is not I'm it's slip yet. I felt sick.. I ordered a new drone tonight. Shhhh, don't tell my wife.

  • @geezerpleasers_OG
    @geezerpleasers_OG 3 года назад +3

    Re: pointing the camera upward. It's not just for looking up at the sky. For commercial pilots, it can be used for inspections where you fly underneath something. For landscape photographers, it can get you some great shots looking upward or gradually panning upward with the gimbal control, looking at a mountain, cliff, or other large formation. Try it out and you'll find it can really add to your scenic photography and videography.

I know a lot of other vendors do as well, and because of Black Friday, are having significant deals right now! So, if you’re still within the return period for your regular Mavic Mini kit, you should be able to go out and snag a Fly More Combo with a full refund on the Mavic Mini!

    Thank you for the great videos. New Mavic Mini owner and absolutely love it! Just wanted to comment that though a thick case doesn't quite fit as hoped, I'm able to use the remote without removing it on my iPhone 8 Plus. It can fit snugly enough to be usable, which I far prefer to removing my case every time.

    • @carsonmtech
      @carsonmtech  4 года назад

      Hmm, most all of my phones have fit - just the cable is the issue. The cable typically doesn’t fit into the charging slot since the cases I typically have are a bit thick, so just keep that in mind if you ever encounter a complete dropout of signal- make sure to check that cable connection :)

    Yay! Another video! Quick question. How did you get so many subscribers? I am having a terrible time getting subscribers. I am averaging 1 or 2 a month. Currently at 138. I think my content is good but I don't know. If you want you can check out my channel and let me know what you think!
    I've been subscribed to you for 3 years now. Your p3s videos were so helpful when I was first learning to drone! 😁👍

    If you are used to flying a DJI Phantom 4 and are looking at this mini as a backup drone you will be sorely disappointed. Compared to the Phantom 4 the mini controller sticks are very stiff. It’s very difficult to get a smooth turn out of them. You have to pull really hard on the sticks and when you do the drone over responds. It takes quite a while to get any finesse out of it. Second the range is crap. About 1/10th of what you get from a Phantom 4. Fly more than a hundred feet and the signal breaks up. And if there are ANY obstacles, like trees, forget it. The image that you see on your phone is very washed out. Even on a top end iPhone. It’s hard to make out what you are seeing and the text on the HUD is virtually unreadable. If you are used to leaving your drone on the ground while waiting for a scene you can forget about that. When sitting on the ground the air vents on the bottom are blocked and the processor will overheat forcing you to power it down. And get used to recalibrating the compass all the time. It’s cute. It’s compact. And if you want to shoot selfies or stationary objects nearby it’s perfectly fine. But don’t try going after moving objects. You won’t have the range or smoothness of control to make it work.

    • @michaellim7002
      @michaellim7002 3 года назад

      For beginner, then try DJI Mavic Mini which is cheaper price now.
      Specs: 2.7K resolution, distance 2.7 mile (4.0km), Height 400 feet.
      If you like higher resolution video (in 4K) and fly longer distance (10km),
      then get the latest model DJI Mavic Mini 2.
      Price difference is only about 30%-40%.

    Thanks so much for the video! Helped so much 👍 one question. Does anyone have excessive stiffness in one of the four Mavic mini arms? My rear right arm is considerably harder to unfold than the others...

    • @carsonmtech
      @carsonmtech  4 года назад +2

      You’re welcome Cory, glad it helped you out! I don’t have excessive stiffness in any of the arms specifically, but the rear two arms do take more effort to unfold than the front do. I wouldn’t be worried about it being stiff, I would personally be more worried if the leg suddenly became super loose or very easy to fold that it could inflight. Hope this helps!
