    Besides flying Drones.. What other hobbies does everyone enjoy?

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

    Besides flying Drones.. What other hobbies does everyone enjoy?

    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.

    Correct connections for DJI Mini 2

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

    Wilder's Addition Park

    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...

    Wilder's Addition Park

    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...

    Mini 2 A church in a gang violence area

    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?

    Mini 2 Propellor protectors - Worth getting for a beginner?

    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...

    Drowned my near new Mini 2

    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...

    Mini 2 Propellor protectors - Worth getting for a beginner?

    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...

    Well it finally happened to me.

    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...

    Well, it happened again. Ken and Karen on the beach.

    Were their names really Ken and Karen, or is that because you expected them to complain about your possibly recording them? My wife disputes my saying that I've heard "Ken" used as a name for a MAN who complains. Of course I would take exception to that stereotype. You may have made a new...

    Correct connections for DJI Mini 2

    Finally found a setting that opens up the exposure (EV value) to 3.0. Still can't see deep inside the vent, but can see all the way to the front vent of the house. Still the video quality is excellent. Can't believe that is a 40 year old Timberline roof. Everything else needs work. Need to...

    Correct connections for DJI Mini 2

    I was checking out the exposure settings, thinking that I could get the camera to open up wider to show more detail in the shadows. Then Christmas happened and I had to put a hold on it. It's not that I am getting the sky in the images, but that the amount of light is affecting the exposure...

    Correct connections for DJI Mini 2

    So regarding my flight problem, today my Mini 2 started right up, and almost begged for updates and accepted them. Why I had those problems earlier in the week is beyond me. I flew up to the back eaves of my house and inspected the problem area up close. Now my problem is that I probably...
