    DJI Mini 2 New Compass

    Has there been any updates on this in the last 2 weeks? I'm having the same issue and was hoping a fix would be out pretty quickly. I had no problems on the older app version but with this one its frustrating to fly the drone and not be able to point the controller at it. I am using an iPhone 12...

    Struggling to get mini 2 over 2,000 feet distance

    Yes. It was surprising but it stopped me from progressing. It said aircraft in area and started beeping at me. It allowed me to backtrack and it went off.

    Struggling to get mini 2 over 2,000 feet distance

    My range extender came in and helped quite a bit. I have tried in different directions and have had some success going away from heavy trees. Will try on a spot where I am elevated with a clear line of site and report back. One side not is the feature where it stops you from flying into airspace...

    Struggling to get mini 2 over 2,000 feet distance

    Just had a thought but would turning off my WiFi router help? When I fly I’m within 15 feet of it and it’s pumping out 5ghz and 2.4 ghz signals.

    Struggling to get mini 2 over 2,000 feet distance

    Just went out for another test. Had phone on airplane mode and was able to go a little further. I tried multiple directions and was able to hit 3600 feet distance at 360 foot altitude. Signal is good up to 3000 feet then goes from white to red quickly. It’s like it hits a wall. I would think if...

    I checked max distance and it is set to max. I am going to try turning off Bluetooth and then WiFi on phone to see if that helps. Will report back. Happy thanksgiving!

    Struggling to get mini 2 over 2,000 feet distance

    So I tried it again in the complete opposite direction and distance was still not good. I was holding the controller at a 45 degree angle at the drone. There are trees around me but in direction I sent drone up the second time I was relatively unobstructed. My settings say auto for the band. I...

    Struggling to get mini 2 over 2,000 feet distance

    Hi everyone. I just bought my first drone a mini 2 this week. I’m in awe of it and having a lot of fun. Only trouble I seem to be having is I can’t fly it past 2000 feet without losing signal. The land I am traveling on is relatively level to me elevation wise. I have full satellite coverage and...
