    My Homemade Floats

    I got my mini 2 to use on our clubs island in the CA Delta so purchased these floats at the same time. They work very well. After I learned to fly the drone I got rid of them because they cut the flight time to half. And, I realized how easy to control the drone was I would take a chance on not...

    BATTERY REMOVAL

    I just added this pic. These are about 3" long and fit the notches in the battery perfectly. And take up little room in my bag. I have long fingernails but no strength in my old, old hands.

    I use a small battery clamp. It fits perfectly. Battery clamp

    Flight speed restriction on the Mini 2

    The update by Dragon7 youtube says the restriction was removed. Dated 1 year ago. I have no idea myself.

    How best to use a heavy tablet with Mini 2?

    I use this very simple extender I found: Tablet Extender It was cheap so thought I would try it just for fun. Completely surprised that it holds my iPad securely and is very easy to hold the combination in a balanced position.

    Mini 2 poor battery life..

    Have you added anything to the drone that increases the weight? Big impact. Also if you see the message about "payload mode" it will decrease also.

    What causes a "Navigation error"?

    I had this error and other weirdness. It requested IMU calibration which I did twice. Hasn’t reoccurred. When calibrating, look very carefully at the picture of the drone. The placement has to be exactly in the order shown.

    Mini 2 battery update keeps failing

    I vaguely remember that when I did battery update it hung at 70 for a very long time. Patients is the key I believe.

    Excited

    May I ask what skin you got? I got one and it did not fit anywhere near as nicely as yours, but maybe I just don't know how to install them.

    Acquire New DJI Mini 2 By A Mistake

    The wall charger brick that comes with the drone fly package is a USB-C PD charger. It is 18W and can charge at 5, 9, or 12 volts per the PD spec. Most assuredly it is charging at 9v 2A for 18W. When you use Mavic 2 adapter it is not charging at 13v, but most likely 5v. Just get a USB-C PD...

    Prop screws are way too tight? (mini 3)

    Take the screw out and use a tiny bit of acetone to clean the hole out of some probably old blue Loctite.

    another discovery...

    Where I live drones are not allowed almost everywhere as the "disturb nature" mantra is cited. But, all day long, all around our area the gardeners are running their incredibly irritating gas powered devices that do nothing but move nature around.

    Thinking about getting a mini 2

    Maybe you have looked carefully but all of the problems I have had with the lightning connector is just being gummed up. Dig in there really good with a toothpick and blow compressed air if you have it. It's surprising how much stuff can get lodged in there.

    Battery charging anomaly- Charging pack vs charging inside drone

    Excellent! Like my Tesla at super charger, starts at 900 miles/hr of charge and works its way down as it fills up.

    Battery charging anomaly- Charging pack vs charging inside drone

    If your charging brick has a USB C cable port, it also needs to support USB PD to get the fast charge. some bricks support only USB QC 3.0. I don’t believe the mini 2 batteries support QC 3. A lot of the bricks do both. The one shipped with mini 2 is only USB PD.
