    Will DJI add tracking to Mini 2?

    I've seen some YouTube videos showing a Fimi version of the mini drone that will include tracking mode. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to whether DJI will put out a software update to include this with the Mini 2. Tracking is one feature I wish the mini 2 included, and I do think...

    Beginner drone recommendation

    Hello tom4ktm, For $500, I think the Mini 2 is an excellent choice. You can actually get the Fly More package for a little more money ($599), and that comes with 2 extra batteries, a charging station, extra rotor blades, and a dedicated carrying bag for the drone and its supplies. I started...

    Master Airscrew Stealth propellers causing serious vibrating on M2P

    Quick follow up, I wrote to MAS about this weeks ago, and have heard nothing back. Not a good sign when a company does not back up their product or respond to their customers. C'est la vie! Happy flying!

    I folded them out but still it was vibrating.

    Master Airscrew Stealth propellers causing serious vibrating on M2P

    I saw this mentioned here or on YouTube and I think you might be on to something. They definitely take more effort to unfold than the DJI blades. But it was still vibrating while hovering, and I absolutely opened them pre-flight. But I did not throttle up to flying speed so I don't know.

    Master Airscrew Stealth propellers causing serious vibrating on M2P

    I wouldn't necessarily say they are more quiet, but they do have a lower pitch which makes them sound better - in my opinion. I bought them for that reason, and because the orange would be more visible in the air. But the vibration issue they cause is unacceptable to me. I'm not an engineer...

    Master Airscrew Stealth propellers causing serious vibrating on M2P

    I measured the blades and they are all the same length, and the finishing seems good, too. I don't have visible defects like others are reporting, so I can only think that they are not balanced correctly. Anyway, I've heard such good things about Master Airscrew that I did not hesitate to get...

    Master Airscrew Stealth propellers causing serious vibrating on M2P

    I've had the MAS Stealth propellers (orange) for my M2P for a few weeks now, but just tried them indoors for the first time and immediately noticed the gimbal vibrating badly. I took them off and put back the DJI props and no vibration whatsoever. I will not use these in flight - I just don't...

    Trade in the MP2 for a MA2 AND a MIni 2?

    Thanks to everyone who replied here. I think I will keep the MP2 and purchase the Mini 2 before the warmer weather arrives. Appreciate all the comments!

    Trade in the MP2 for a MA2 AND a MIni 2?

    Hey everyone, A little background info first: I am a high school teacher who has some down time in the summer where I do odd jobs (tutoring mostly) for extra income . Ive had my M2P now for a few months and I absolutely love it! Ideally, I’d like to turn my hobby into a money-making activity...

    Poor grammar on my part. That’s why I teach science.

    Getting Your Drone Safely Out of a Tall Tree

    I was thinking you could rig together a couple of swimming pool skimmer poles together with a leaf net at the end and try to catch it as you untangle it from the tree. Might work with a mini 2 but the MP2 drones are pretty heavy, so I’m not sure it the rigging would hold up.

    Getting Your Drone Safely Out of a Tall Tree

    Thanks, dronerdave! When I was dating my wife way back when, she had a little 10-pound cat that completely shredded a German Shepherd and 3 humans when she thought her kitten was in danger. Looked like a crime scene when she was done. They might be little, but they can do some serious damage!
