I shoot video all the time on my Mini and I leave the ND filters on unless its in the darkening evening. Smoothness of the video cant be beat. BUT, i use SunnyLife ND filters and they impart an ugly brown tinge that has to be cleaned up in Final Cut Pro to match my other camera footage. Not a...

I use ND filters, usually an 8 or 32 if mid day, all they time. Way smoother video. But I cheaped out and bought Amazon’s SunnyLife ones. They add a distinct brown tinge which is ugly. I have to clean it up with a colour shift in Final Cut Pro, impossible to match to non ND or handheld camera...

I’m in an area with lots of eagles and seagulls, so far no issues, but I have had hummingbirds follow me! Go figure. That would not turn out well for the hummingbird. I must have sounded like an intrusion on his turf.

very cinegraphici, great wide/close mix, music not distracting, interesting narration and story build. Really well done.

hardly ever fly my Air anymore, never mind the pro, the Mini 2 is sooo good. Almost funny to think about the big old Phantoms, they were like setting off a drone awareness alarm! Mini 2 is tiny, and you are right, pretty much a dork’s toy to bystanders. One day we’ll have quieter props (already...

If its like the Tile it will not work well on the ground, too many signal blockers, but if you get stuck in a tree or roof then good chance for that signal to travel. Choose where you lose your drone! :)

teatime? spell correct! it was downside!..

I’ve owned all the Phantoms, Mavics (Pro, Air, Minis 1 and 2, and I enjoy the Mini 2 the best. Maybe not the strongest flyer in a stiff breeze but very good, optics and video are very good, flight life and distance is very good, stealth aspect is excellent, and flying under the 250 gram wire is...

I have both. Air when its windy and I need more endurance and no issues with people or flying restrictions. Mini2 when its easier flying, or someone may be within earshot and complain about my “toy” and I have to be under the 250 grams. I do a lot of aerial video for youtube and friends and they...

I’ve had the Mini2 do the drift in 5c. Doing a multiple exposures shot and it slowly creeps around counterclockwise. Can’t use it for long stills because of that. Doesnt happen every time.

Too funny. I actually got the sound on my land camera but forgot to put it in the video..

Dead quiet too. The only sound was the huge splash when he flew through the air!

Saw this cool board on the ocean and sent the Mini2 to observe and report. Made a video from out (with some land based shots to make it better) Obviously I sped up in a few shots for interest/brevity but you can see it was a champ for keeping up. Never an issue with being over the water either...

I fly my drone now to support my land based video and photography, to capture that interesting angle that gives it some spice. Try flying through a forest in the fall with the camera pointing up, to get amazing backlit coloured leaves. Or the same forest in snow or frost with streaking sunlight...

Mind you...go fly a Mavic Air if you want the 4K I guess!
