    Mini 2 Travel log Day 1 Part 1

    Thanks Prop Wash I have always found that getting lost was one of my strong points. By going the wrong way I often found myself in unusual places.

    Mini 2 Little adventure before the bigger one

    Took myself on a little solo adventure on my NC700X in the Cape Overberg one morning after the rain. I had my DJI Osmo Action 3 in its usual place mounted on the handle bar behind the screen, and of course I had my DJI Mini 2 in the trunk for a bit of aerial fun. Thanks for watching.

    The mini 2 is tough

    My first strike in many years too. I have found that especially oystercarchers, in the breeding season (which is mostly all the time as far as I can tell) will definately go for a drone. They usually fly in pairs and have a specific squeeking sound. Some parts of the year seagulls will also go...

    The mini 2 is tough

    It all happened so fast, the oyster catcher swooped in and - it (luckily) fell into a bush (line of sight - right). I drew blood retrieving the drone but it was not even scratched - man those branches are mean to a man's calves.

    Mini 2 The dirty truth

    The dirty truth about Michelin Road six motorcycle tyres. I previously had Pirelli MT60 tyres on my Honda NC700X and found that they did not last as long as I wanted so I decided to put road tyres on thinking that they would last longer. I was pleasantly surprised with my decision to fit the...

    Mini 2 Disobedient drone

    A funny thing happened to me the other day: I was flying my mini 2 focussing on obtaining footage of a coastal cliff cave. I was flying merrily when my eye caught sight of my drone where it should not be! Momentarily, surprised I lost sight of where the mini was and my attention was on this...
