    Does anyone use landing gear extensions for the Mini 2?

    This may be an old thread but I have both. The full rails and the white landing legs. I don't always stay in the same area and sometimes need to land my drone in the desert where the land in uneven. There is also grass tall enough here to not see the drone after it lands. Just my $0.02.

    Is it possible to use FPV goggles and a Mini 2 and look straight down at the ground while flying forward? Thanks, Thom

    Mini 2 A Peaceful Fall Day In The Sonoran Desert

    Yes they are considered wild. Some have gotten free of ranches in the area. But there is a stable along the Beeline Highway that takes care of them. Some people like them, some not so much. Nice picture.

    New Fan

    I picked up a fan at Lowes. It runs off off USB. I was flying in 94 degree weather in Arizona. Cooled off quicker than I thought.

    Mini 2 Walkies!

    I agree with my dog walks me. My 18 month old puppy would rather sniff then look anywhere. Unless she hears a plane. Then she will look up. We usually walk about 1/2 mile a morning and it takes about an hour. My son complains that she stops too much and smells. I told him that the walk is...

    Homepoint change

    Thanks to [email protected] I was able to find the information. I don't know how the homepoint changed but it did @ about 11 minutes into the flight.

    Homepoint change

    I have already sent in my mini 2 for replacement. I tried attaching to the computer and went through all the DJI files and didn't find anything. Would the flight log be on my SD card instead? Thom

    Homepoint change

    First time flying in the desert and near a mountain. I was flying over the desert at Sycamore Creek a couple days ago. I was about 300 feet above my truck following a mountain ridge. I had my range limit set about 4000 feet away. All of a sudden my home point changed and I didn't realize...

    Is there a maximum temperature for flying a Mini 2

    After reading the answers again today, I decided to try flying the Mini 2. I flew it for 15 minutes in 103 F temperature. The drone was hot and so was my phone. I took it up to about 110 feet and did a RTH 3x during the flight just to check it. Everything worked great. But it took about 20...

    Phoenix to use Drones to save lives

    Drones on the mountain trails are a great idea. The trails should be closed whenever the temperature reaches 100 degrees though. The firemen shouldn't have to risk their lives for idiots. Just recently 8 women from out of state had to be rescued because they weren't used to the climate...

    Is there a maximum temperature for flying a Mini 2

    Does anyone know if there is a maximum operating temperature for operating a Mini 2. Arizona does get hot and I don't want to crash because of the heat in Phoenix. Thanks, Tommy
