Shooting into the air can kill. We had a case near us where someone fired a shot straight up, and the bullet came straight down and killed a little boy in a park.

I made the mistake of buying a clone of a DJI battery for my DJI Mini 2. I bought it on Amazon for maybe $20 less than the real thing. It charged strangely, one light flashing the entire night. No instructions to explain that. (later I was told that meant it didn't need to be charged) My...

Over a month ago I made the mistake of putting a clone battery in my DJI Mini 2. Sold on Amazon, and guaranteed to work in the Mini 2 (looks like it was made in the same mold). I already had two DJI batteries, but just wanted to make sure this new one worked, despite it acting differently in...

I love that about the Mini 2. The video and stills are so sharp.

Thanks OJsakila, that's the best reaction I've ever gotten. In a month we get to ride again, unless Covid scares the powers-that-be into shutting down again. I'll take my drone just in case I can get away with it.

Like old man mavic said, the DJI Store online. The Play Store no longer carries Fly.

I took it if I called Angels Gate Park, they could tell me about any restrictions for flying at Wilders Addition. Now I find that there is no flying at Angels Gate Park. They can meditate there all they want. Hmmmmmm...

I remember seeing a sign like that for Angels Gate (posted last year by Skyryder). But this one says it is definitely for Wilders Addition. Well this answers that question, although I probably wouldn't have been able to talk my wife into driving us down there. I was told early last year to...

I loved seeing the "orbit around that church steeple". Hey, I've been excited just examining my roof :) Itzmyobsession, how would a person do that with a Mini 2? Is there a trick to it, or a simple move?

And fine branches and small bare branches can get in there through the guard and attack props anyway. But the way I fly I've had to replace two blades just from flying in the backyard. Parts of the DJI guard are a bit weak, like the clips that hold it on. I guess they were trying to get the...

So you never found the Mini? In a lake? So it's in fresh water, and might be saved if you were a fish. With the weight of the battery, I think it would sink fairly quickly. Good luck, the Mini 2 is a nice little drone. At 74 I'm still learning. Mostly right now I'm using it to inspect my...

I learned the hard way that 1) they are a must for flying inside 2) Outside I find that with trees all around, trees can be rough on the props. But even with the propeller guard, little branches can get in there and either nick the blades, or tangle in the props. A lot of fun getting my Mini...

There is paranoia all around. Watch the news, and if a child is in the picture who isn't already dead in reality, their head is blurred out, even if they're looking away. It isn't about privacy, but because if anything EVER happens to that child, the news station will be to blame. The lawyers...

Thanks a lot, Ken
