    Mini 2 firmware 01.03 released

    Interesting. What are the benefits of the smart controller - I suppose convenience, brighter/easier to see screen, and if your phone battery is low this is no longer an issue as you have a dedicated controller? Also - I imagine you need to connect the smart controller to your phone via WiFi -...

    Tips for urban photos in middle of the day with "excessive" sunlight, and also on an extremely cloudy day?

    Thanks. How to do bracketed exposures on a mini 2? I'll have to look into the colorchecker, sound like a great idea, thanks!

    Tips for urban photos in middle of the day with "excessive" sunlight, and also on an extremely cloudy day?

    The best time for photos is just before sunset, generally. I'm often taking photos however in the middle of the day, with no clouds, it's not the best lighting conditions. And I'm taking photos of homes, things in the city. Are there any tips on camera settings to make the most of the excessive...

    Is there a bag or case that fits an iPad mini 2, along with the drone, controller, and iPad mini adapter all together?

    Has anyone found a case or bag that works to transport your Mini 2 drone, controller, iPad mini adapter, and iPad all in the same bag or case? Bonus points if there is a case that allows you to keep your iPad mini 'installed' inside the adapter and controller to make it super easy to open up...

    Mini 2: charge phone from controller while flying - super useful

    Interesting. I don't' see the setting to do this in the Mini 1, but if it was there, I'd definitely make use of it. I use Dronelink with my Mini 1 (Dronelink does not work with the Mini 2) and I'm always running out of phone battery when I use Dronelink. Were you able to charge your iPhone...

    Mini 2: charge phone from controller while flying - super useful

    I just discovered that you can charge you phone/tablet from you controller. Great feature on the Mini 2 that is not available on the Mini 1. Saved me many times because my phone (iPhone 8) runs out of battery long before the controller (or my 4 drone batteries). With the drone turned on, go to...

    Has anyone successfully created a time lapse of a city skyline with the drone in a fixed position (not moving)?

    I've tried a few times - fly the drone to a spot, and for about 20 minutes, have it take photos every 2 seconds of the city skyline. When I align images in photoshop, I don't get good results, because the drone is (of course) not 100% still in the air - it moves slightly in the air since it...

    Show us your TIME-LAPSE

    Great work Tufargon! How did you film this section of video? Is this simply a video you took and you sped it up to make it a time lapse? How did you make it so smooth (there is almost no jerkiness)? Did you have to smooth the video somehow using software after downloading to your computer...

    Backup Mavic Mini 2

    I have a mini 2 which is great. I’m heading out on a road trip and I bought a backup mini 2, just in cast I have a problem and I’m in the middle of nowhere. I plan on returning it if I don’t use it - I haven’t opened it. Question: will it work right out of the box, or will I have to download a...

    Cheaper drone suggestion for a newbie before they buy the more expensive mini?

    I’m looking to buy a small drone for a friend as a cheaper practice drone to practice on before buying the more expensive DJI mini. The idea is it’s better for a newbie to practice on a cheaper ~$100 drone because you are more likely to crash if you’re a newbie. Does anyone have any suggestions...

    Maybe a silly question...

    Under 250 grams means the rules are far less restrictive than a drone over 250 grams I believe

    Ipad Mini 5 Compatible?

    Funny that the iPad mini 4 is supported, but not the iPad mini 5. Maybe that list is outdated?

    Battery mini 1 to mini 2?

    Following. I just ordered the mini 2 fly more combo. But if my mini 1 batteries would work in mini 2, maybe I shouldn’t buy the fly more combo. Any idea if the mini 1 charging hub would work with the mini 2 batteries?
