NOTE: Regarding flight speed of the Mini 2. It is actually designed to fly slower when the camera is pointed almost straight down when in Normal or Cine flight modes (but not in Sport mode), and is supposed to help stabilize the footage.
This is as unscientific as heck. Gusts are inconsistent. You should fly them side by side. Also, your gimbal is pointed downwards. Try flying them straight up. I've heard that the Mini 2 has speed limitations when the gimbal is pointed down due to reduce jitters when shooting so this can be the reason why it can't fight high winds. The study also doesn't measure other factors such as motor strain and battery usage.
Yes subjective testing. I may do another test in a controlled environment. Btw the speed is only restricted in Normal and Cine, but not in the Sport mode I was in for the video. Thanks.
@@D7dronetech is I power up in S mode even if its saying S mode its actually not in S mode unless you change mode and then back again
It all depends on how you fly it, in my opinion. There are so many factors here that we don't know. I've been using the Mini 2 in 32kph winds (around 450 meters above sea level) and I'm doing fine.
Yes, subjective testing. I have a test I may do in a controlled environment. Thanks.
interesting! so I am even more happy with my Mini 1!
I appreciate the effort and your results are unexpected but the wind speed can change quickly making the result seem off. Maybe if you have a friend that can go fly with you then you could put both birds in the air at the same time and get a better result as to which can handle the wind better! Nice Video! Thanks Mark!
Should I still get the mini 2 and hope for a firmware update
Thank you for info! 👍
very very nice video!!! great work and effort you put into it :D
Thank you so much 😀
I was flying Mini 2 in my home for fun and it had a lot of drifting . No drifting on the Mavic mini #1.. hopefully update fix.
nice but pretty odd,,, i wonder if a payload is switched on if perhaps it behaves differently but thats just an idea ...not sure if this is applicable fly option.. btw currently user which upgraded the app to latest version 1 .2.xxx something are having different problems with interference on MM2 -cant fly further away then 55 m from the RC
Thank you for this Wind Competition and your work. Best wishes from Germany and stay healthy
That's very nice of you to say. Best wishes to you as well!
Great upload my friend. Nice test.
Nice of you to say, thanks!
Interesting test! I like it!
Thanks!
Tested my mini 2 in wind today and it don't seem bad. when i put cam down then it starts to drift. I don't know why but it does seem buggy in some modes. I hope a update will fix the glitches.
Yes, definitely an issue that should be fixable.
Also on mini 2 there were almost no wind notifications in the app. At the same time mini 1 constantly notified about strong wind conditions. Looks strange. Bad firmware?!
Good eye, yes, it needs a firmware update which I’m pretty sure we’ll see to get the strong wind notifications.
why the colors look so different?
Well I own both and was about to sell my mini 1. Now I don't know if I should.
Yes very interesting I think I'll stick with number 1 thank
is it being blown? why there is no strong wind warning??
Great observation. I found it odd too, as the Mini 1 did show the warnings. Perhaps a firmware update can and would remedy the lack of notices and fix the poor wind resistance.
I have got the Mavic Mini 3 months ago, and I want to upgrade to Mini2. Is it worth it?
Only if you need better range or 4K video
I think some of this will be solved in a firmware update if you notice there are no strong wind warnings , also I can here a Sound difference have they changed the pitch on the props on the mini 2 , I know this makes a huge difference on my fpv racing drones
Interesting test results. I find the Mini 2 to much better in the wind than my Mini 1.
A Good and helpfull test! fully Like! have a nice day to you all! Greetz. Mr.DronePilot
Thanks, you too!
take care of that "max power load reached" error as it may bouncing to the ground!!! may be one or two of propellers damaged. change them asap to avoid crash
My mini 1 slowly lowered itself into the lake on a slightly windy at basically full battery and me pushing both sticks up (forward + Upwards). So if u have the first generation mini, DON'T FLY IT WHEN THERE IS WIND OUTSIDE.
side by side,, point cam each other to compare who is good hovering and handle in the wind,,,
Yeah that would be a solid test, just need a co-pilot has been the problem for me. I’ve got another idea flying in a more controlled environment that I might produce. Thanks!
Yes there is a known bug when the camera is straight down the mini2 moves very slow, try the same test with the camera up
Just did some testing in a more controlled environment. The Mini 2 still doesn’t hold position like the Mini 1 with the camera up. But what I did notice is that it’s worse when the camera is down, which I simply attribute to a slightly larger frontal area when the camera is pointing down. I’ll have to do some more testing. Where did you see this “known bug”?
@@D7dronetech Maybe not 'known' but it's seen in quite a few videos, it's either a bug or the drone has to tilt so much the gimbal can't keep the 90 degree orientation at a higher speed so it can only travel slow. You can see it in the video at about the 11 min mark ruclips.net/video/NtQA4TngRBw/видео.html&ab_channel=PhillyDroneLife
@@D7dronetech I find this in mini 2's user manual(P11): During video mode in Normal or Cine mode, the flight speed is limited when the pitch of the gimbal is near -90° or 0° in order to ensure shooting is stable. If there are strong winds, the restriction will be disabled to improve the wind resistance of the aircraft. As a result, the gimbal may vibrate while recording.
So pointing down should not decrease the wind resistance.
My whole reason to consider Mini2 is the increased wind resistance. (I can increase the distance of Mini1 up to 30km by modifying the controller. That is impossible with Mini2 due to hardware restriction) I will wait for Mini3 with active track& object avoidance until 2021 fall.
What mods did you do to get 30km range ?? cheers
@@navaho5430 By driving a car and follow the Mini
You need click the drone into sport mode. You have to re- do it again. Sometimes I have to do it twice. Sometimes it doesn't activate it. Seems like that was the issue. Make sure u see the "s" pop up on ur screen. Even though it says sport at the top Sometimes it does activate!
Interesting. I’ll check that out, thanks.
No its when you set off in sport its not actuaply sport
Check out the first video from 51drones of the mini 2. He had a issue that the mini 2 lost speed when the camera is pointed down. I think you had the same issue here.
After some research, DJI's manual says it limited the speed when the camera is pointed down and even straight! But this only applies to Cine and Normal modes, and the testing I did was in Sport.
@@D7dronetech strange... Why the speed limit by DJI? And strange it performd so bad.
@@D7dronetech i just checked the manual of the mini 1. Nothing there about the speed limit. Only on the mini 2. I dont understand why DJI limits the mini 2 when the gimbal is pointed down. The gimbal should be the same
@@matheokoning4456 I know this comment is from months ago but figured I'd reply. The Mini 2 tilts a lot more at full speed so if the Gimbal was pointing straight down you'd actually be looking backwards if that makes sense so speed is restricted.
I've seen the mini 2 blow away now on several occasions. I definitely wouldn't consider getting one over the mini 1. I'm a MA2 owner and it held in a 40mph wind. Think I'll just stick with it. Great video, thanks for sharing
Maybe they can do a firmware update to improve it, but unlikely the same weight drone can be much stronger to fight the wind. Yeah, MA2 is probably the best all around!
I bought a MA2 but haven’t opened it yet . Was thinking to downgrade it to mini2 as I’m only gonna fly causally and for fun . But I live in a generally windy place , should I keep MA2?
@@simplefact4u Since it’s windy there, without a question keep your Mavic Air 2. It will be much less stress when you also have obstacle avoidance as well.
I have the mini 1 I think it’s a waste to upgrade
I notice you’re pretty high up to begin with. I imagine the wind is stronger up there and quite gusty.
Have you tried the same test lower down . The footage was quite scary too as it looked like you
might hit the ground when trying to fly it back. I’m a really new pilot with the original mavic mini so my
confidence level is nowhere near yours. Thanks for taking the risks on our behalf good job😀👍
I actually take off from the hill top so I can seek shelter from the wind by flying below. The Mini is really a great entry drone so I’m sure you’ll get a lot of enjoyment with it. No need to upgrade to the Mini 2 from a Mini in my opinion. Happy flying!
probably a marketing thing, they under rate the spec of Mini 1 and over rate the Mini 2 ? it's hard to believe with same power and shape there would be any notible difference in wind resistance.
Omg I miss you Mark! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍👍👍✌️
Mikey
Long time no see! I see you’ve been flying the heck out of the Mini 2. Gotta love the Occusync
@@D7dronetech omg yes Mark. Lol lol. It's a monster lol. Can't wait till they fix the camera issue (tilts in sports mode) but even with that I still live flying that little guy. What a great little done. But it's still a mini.. lol. At the end of the day I think this is where all of them are going! Under 249g. Hope all is well .. I know we live in a crazy works these days! Ugh 🙈🙈🙏🙏🙏🙏💙
Mikey
If you haven’t already, try the dolly zoom effect. Where you fly, you’ll get some pretty cool shots!
@@D7dronetech will do 👍👍 thx for the suggestion Mark.. 💙💙
Mikey
much different wind condition😅
PUT IT IN GPS MODE AND NORMAL AND NOT SPORT
Why? And did you see my pinned comment?
You should have done a third person POV not with the gimbal POV how can we even see how it stand against the wind it defeats the purpose because the gimbal will try to make the video as smooth as possible.
I hope we can see the actual drone so we can see how it stand against the wind.
Yes, another POV would definitely help. I’ll probably make another video to show and test this better. Thanks
I’ll wait for it then,
thank you for hearing me out
I have been flying my mini 2 in winds of 25 to 30 and does slot better than the one in the video..
Answer to your issue , see ruclips.net/video/l4aJoXJmBlg/видео.html . It seems that having the gimbal full down is preventing the mini 2 to fly in S-Mode as fast as if not down!!! Try again with the gimbal up!!! Best regards Mark, Henri
Hi Henri, I basically figured it out. The Mini 2 is actually designed to fly slower when the gimbal is pointed straight down. And per the manual, it actually says at around -90 degrees and even around 0 degrees, when in Normal or Cine modes (but not sport which is the mode I solely used for the video). This should be fixed, but won't if it's not via firmware.... Thanks!
He must have had the mini2 in c mode
Tested both in Sport mode.
Calibration prevent toilet bowling.
Me mareo viendolo , en vez de mirar al horizonte, mira hacia abajo 😒
Haha the reason I sold my mini and got the air 2. It's so much better. There is just no way such a light drone can handle alot of wind
Wind is without question the archilles heel of the Minis. Happy flying!
Something is wrong with your Mini 2. I've tested and the Mini is definitely worse. Get your Mini 2 serviced or checked out.
Yeah same
Your in normal mode all of the time you set off in sport which isnt true sport
Main reason I got rid of the mini quickly. Utter rubbish. Lacks power. Wouldn’t bother with the mini 2 either
The conclusion: mini 1 ia a honest guy who try to do its best. Mini 2 will make you feel comfortable not by passing the real information happening up there. Like a smooth liar.
How can we trust mini 2 😂
interesting because the test is subjective and just wrong. unfortunately this video is influencing potential buyers in a negative way.
