Regretfully, the added weight of the lights also makes the helicopter over-weight and illegal for its class. Have Fun!

A few friends of mine made the mistake and bought a couple of these - they are a tottal joke the protocol allows mostly the drone to fly 80% of the time the thing is all over the place when you try to fly it, eliminating it for any professional work. It's a joke!

Deal with it!

Good Stuff - Aside from the school bus - the video is well-served to show the capability of the Mini has progressed to that of its big brothers, all with a lower cost in a considerably smaller package! Thanks Mike

Hopeful - it will follow the Pro controller and interface with existing 64 bit protocol.

Is it safe to say the Mini 3 smart controller will work with the Mini 2? Mike

Air Data now has a "SYNC" feature. Instead of uploading flight files manually, you can autosync files directly to Airdata so they are available. Another feature is using a 3rd part App you can now avoid files being sent to DJI as well. By the way, there are some operating differences between...

Thanks for posting - Since there is erroneous GPS data on behave of the drone, as expected Air Data faults with locations and creates what is called a ghost flight! Fly Safe - Mike

Great video thanks for sharing - we have a couple of Mini 2's in the shop which we fly for fun. We've had them for over a year now and both have original firmware. I'll never upgrade a machine unless there is a safety issue. They are great machines, in fact we use them for pre-production shots...

Hello - In most cases, you'll find that name brand filters with higher cost will offer a better performance. However, if you shot the same subject with both low and high cost filters using sport equipment, it would be difficult to see the difference. For professional use, high grade filters are...

Hello all and thanks for the replies - Meta 4 I went ahead and listed some addition comments you made which clearly show you were totally confused regarding the data and offered no help to the OP. When I and others "offered possible legitimate causes" you responded: "No need for guessing, the...

Slup thanks for your reply and important notes to help the OP! It appears a shorted component, or shorted / stalled motor, might have lowered the processors voltage causing the crash and resulting erroneous data. Another possibility is; due to the voltage drop, a re-boot might have caused the...

Hello All - Having worked with telemetry data for decades with military drones, while the data can be very accurate at times, it may also be very error ridden as well. This is especially true should any component on the machine short (stalled motor shorted board, etc.) which lowers processor...

Meta 4 Thanks for the reply - I took the liberty to quote a number of your replies below to confirm the data on this drone has you both confused and guessing with regard to the drones doomed flight. For this reason, I advised you that saved data is no more accurate than the processor itself...

Meta 4 Thanks for the reply - however I was designing and building military drones with telemetry data and GCS support, long before you even knew what a toy drone was! Anyone can read automated flight data and does not have to be a genius to know it has flaws and no more reliable than the...
