    The mini 2 is tough

    And there I was, happily thinking 'luckily we don't have birds in South Africa that attack drones'. You have just proved me wrong, and I have very recently done a lot of Mini 2 flights along the West Cape coast... I have encountered nosy birds in all the years I'm flying in SA but luckily...

    Mini4 Pro Landing Failure

    For what it's worth, I recently had an 'unsuitable landing area' situation with the Mini 4 Pro, right above the landing pad where I took off from beginning the flight. It was getting dark so I contributed it to failing light conditions. Switching to sport mode gave me full control to manually...

    JUDGING DISTANCE

    Like Meta4 said, the super wide angle lens can be misleading. To train your eye and brain to compensate you could link drone and controller then take a stroll through your house with drone in hand, pointing it at objects of known scale and observe the image on the screen and distance of drone...

    Learning to fly Mini 2 SE

    You are going to need a phone with DJI Fly app installed, flying without a phone connected to the controller is not even worth it except in emergencies like an app crash. Without the Fly app there's no way to tell what the drone is asking for, could be compass calibration, IMU calibration, DJI...

    First serious crash 💥

    This incident has nothing to do with drone 'fragility', the result of unexpectedly entering ATTI mode would most likely have been the same, only WAY more expensive with a Hasselblad branded camera dangling from a broken gimbal :)

    Battery question

    I am flying my Mini 4 Pro with my Mini 3 batteries, both the standard Mini 3 battery and the Plus batteries, no problems. Fly app will prompt for firmware update if the battery in the drone needs updating, this only happened to me once in the beginning and only for the Mini 3 standard battery in...

    Mini 4 Pro with MavMount, Controllers & Brightess

    Your MavMount should work, the RC-N1 and N2 have identical dimensions, I use my home made tablet holder on both. Other accessories like yagis also work on both. All touch screen functions available on the R2 controller are available on the tablet/phone screen using the RC-N2, even easier to...

    8" android tablet that works 100% with Dji Fly app.

    The new Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 8.5 inch works a charm and is relatively inexpensive. It comes with built in screen recorder and a functioning magnetic compass sensor. It replaces the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 of which I could not find one with properly working magnetic compass. The Ulefone Armor...

    Removing annoying subtitles from M4P Videos?

    The Mini 2 and Mini 3 does this without creating extra file clutter by creating a separate .srt file on the Micro SD card. Flight telemetry data is imbedded in the .mp4 video file and can be switched on or off in the video player. And in addition, the Mini 4 Pro now also creates a 'low res'...

    Landed on the water. Why?

    At least the screen lag in this video is jumpy so one can suspect lagging video. In my case with the Ulefone Armor Pad the video feed was smooth, only delayed by about 5 seconds. I have replaced the Ulefone Armor Tab with the new Samsung Tab A9 running Android 13, an 8 inch tablet which is...

    Almost lost my Drone

    Kindly add me too, you clearly had NO idea why the Mini 2 SE did not make it back home. (Which was the info I was looking for.) I fail to understand why you replied to the OP's thread with zero positive input regarding the technical issue at hand, in stead, reciting already well documented...

    Landed on the water. Why?

    Which is why I'm saying, an app crash would be safer than an app video feed lag. My first instinct during an app crash is to let go of everything I am busy with, then hit RTH knowing at what altitude it will be coming back so I can lay eyes on it and land it ignoring the luxury of having a...

    Landed on the water. Why?

    Drone controls remain in real time, only video feed lags, you'll see a wall 100m away, keep giving forward input while in fact the drone has already crashed into the wall 5 seconds earlier. He saw the ocean 15m below on his video feed, pulled back left stick and on the video feed it looked like...

    Landed on the water. Why?

    Very possible, I had a close encounter flying a Mini 4 Pro on a tablet that was very happy flying the Mini 2 and Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro. But flying the Mini 4 Pro AND recording screen resulted in screen lag of about 5 seconds, I realized this when noticing the delay of control stick input on the...

    firmware

    Nothing exciting was added by the last few Mini 2 firmware updates but you might as well do it so it stops nagging if you are not using 3rd party FCC hacking firmware. First try doing it with your phone, make sure you have internet access. If you battle you could download Assistant on your PC...
