    dismal battery life

    I don't have any suggestions, but will say it doesn't seem normal. I've only got a dozen or so flights with my mini 2, but all were at temps under 40 degrees F several below 32. I'm also well above 4200 feet in elevation yet I get 20 minutes or so before I start getting the 20 percent battery...

    Santa gave me a Mini 2 Fly More combo... charging 3 batteries and the controller takes HOURS! Any 3rd party method to speed it up?

    I have several of the high powered wall warts for usb c stuff. I use one with a USB C cable to charge a battery while in the drone, one for the charger with 2 of the batteries in it, and one wall wart to charge the controller. You can also get the high power chargers to plug into the accessory...

    Bizarre GPS readings while flying indoors

    You might want to study up on GPS and potential issues it can be subject to such as Multipath interference. As long as you're flying with a clear unobstructed view of the sky it works great. However, wIth objects like our drones you can be indoors, or in urban or mountain canyons where you have...

    Mini Bob's Info: Flight log, best way to review?

    Did you figure out what was causing the occasional red flashing light? My mini 2 was doing the same thing today. When I first took off I saw it flashing red a couple times, then green for a bit, every time I changed altitude I would get a couple red flashes. Landed, and did an IMU calibration...

    Cine mode doesn't seem to be working

    It would appear Brockrock nailed it. I managed to sneak a quick flight in between snow squalls today. If I have the controller in Cine mode prior to turning everything on, it says C mode on the phone display, but the performance is in fact that of normal mode. If I switch to normal, then back to...

    Cine mode doesn't seem to be working

    Appreciate that info, and it looks like it might be what happened. I just found the flight data in the app, and while I don't get the flying screen video with information, I can see the flight on a map with stick inputs, speed, altitude etc. I did indeed fly one battery in normal, just getting...

    Cine mode doesn't seem to be working

    I can't tell any difference between Cine Mode and Normal on my Mini 2. It's my first drone, so I'm still learning, and finding that getting smooth movements in my video can be quite a challenge. I tried switching to C mode, and it shows that's what I'm in on the display and switch position, but...

    Hello from Utah

    The forum has been invaluable to me so far. Through information I obtained here, I ended up waiting on purchasing a mini until the mini 2 came out. Mine arrives Monday. My intended usage is a travel drone for RVing, hiking, and UTVing. I have a lot of experience with RC aircraft, from control...
