    dismal battery life

    everything out of the box, brand new. no props installed by user... rather than 4000 meters... I'm about 270 meters... Wind... well being that it was my first time EVER flying a drone...I made sure the wind was pretty minimal.. not zero but not 20 knots either... Battery in colder environment...

    dismal battery life

    I will, Im working on it. I'm new and It is not second nature to me yet to pull the data.... Im learning, your patience is appreciated... In my previous posts I clearly stated the type of flying I was doing,.. Cine mode (not even normal except a couple of times) and NO stunt and acrobatic flying...

    dismal battery life

    whatever the discussion is, I would appreciate if we can just focus on my question. For whatever is worth, ALL updates to firmware were applied on the 26th in the morning as the first step before doing ANY flying whatsoever (batteries firmware updated as part of this). I know you all have good...

    dismal battery life

    hello and thank you for your reply... From what I read, this drone and associated accessories (bought the Fly More Combo with the unit with extra batteries and charger, etc etc) does not perform as advertised ... This is, in itself is not a major problem since its performance is (as with real...

    Thank you for your response. by the way....Air Data fully supports Mini2 since November 2nd 2020 The batteries are brand new and all the charge process was inside out house so...nothing "edgy" there .. Excessive wind speed... well, some of the flights were in a day with some wind (not 30...

    Maybe you can get some "ideas" as of why this might be happening from the responses I received (?), Seems that flying in cold weather (0 to 5 degrees Celsius) dramatically reduces the battery "life"

    dismal battery life

    WOW !! yes, I was aware of cold weather and Lithium batteries (I did quite a bit of professional photography and all my cameras used Lithium) but perhaps that type of Li batteries did not suffer as much as the polymer ones (?). I will read the article you sent (I appreciate that !!). Are there...

    Sorry, I realized that after responding to you.... Once again, my apologies, I'm not familiar yet with all the indications given on the app so I missed that, only remembered the "bigger" number next to the battery display. I will double check that next time. I was reading the manual and noticed...

    dismal battery life

    Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I'm also grateful for the instant kind and thorough replies that I'm getting to all my questions in this forum, really nice group of people !!! Regarding the batteries... Well, I'm only 900' ASL so altitude shouldn't be a factor but perhaps it was...

    dismal battery life

    Hello Thomas.. OK, I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with how to do all that but I guess I can probably figure it out... Will do some research and then report back. I'm new to this so my knowledge is limited. My apologies for that. Thank you very much for your input !!

    dismal battery life

    OK, well... maybe the battery depletes rapidly at first and then it slows down depleting at that rate? Regarding the ideal flight conditions... OK, I understand that but the time reference I made about the 5' was for flights in ideal conditions. sunset, no wind, doing 2 or 3 attempts at...

    dismal battery life

    Hello, I have done some research but then much is regarding other models and not the Mini2 and then I'm left wondering if what works for one type of battery works for another... very confused... It seems to me this shouldn't be that complicated... Maybe the manufacturer "inflates" things or...
