As a retired professional still, film, and video photographer, I agree with his analogy of camera types. I sold my almost new Mini 2 because the 4k video is a little noisy, and my sole reason for owning a drone again is video and photo. The Mini 2's performance is excellent and an amazing value...

Nice work!

Works with my Moto G7 Power.

I bought a cheapie shotgun mic from Amazon on sale for about $20 that's very good, complete with foam windscreen. Plug that in to a recorder with an input if you find the sound unsatisfactory with the built-in mic. Syncing, as you say, is no big deal, precision not required. But if you're going...

Drones and birdwatching or photographing other shy critters doesn't seem compatible. But my Mini 2 is excellent perched near my bird feeders as a remote camera. None of my still and video cameras has enough range to do what I want. The Mini 2's range, of course, is amazing. The tape on the drone...

By the way, this forum is an excellent resource, has given me much food for thought and thorough insights into the amazing tech that goes into these machines. Tech, as always, can be glitchy. My old cheap quads were almost always rock solid, just can't provide the excellent photo and video of...

No, this is compass calibration required before you can fly, spin the drone to calibrate. I gave up yesterday, Mini in the middle of a hardwood floor, no metal nearby. My older quads I didn't fly in windy conditions, but one never knows when the weather can change suddenly. Seriously considering...

Aside from better wind-handling of the MA2, has it proved more reliable (overly broad question, I know) than the Mini 2. I've yet to fly my new Mini 2 because of multiple problems with connection, compass calibration, etc., and I still have a week left on return window. I'm a retired...

When I received the drone, it connected fairly quickly, compass calibration worked fine. I know it's not the phone, but I've read others have had controller to drone connection problems, some suggesting different sequences, plugging and unplugging the controller to phone cable. I did all that...

It's a moot point right now. Unable to get the Mini 2's compass to calibrate, so no fly. I've spun it many times, app doesn't respond. Clear screen, start over, no calibration, no fly. Any suggestions?

That didn't seem likely to me either, but when the DJI list drops your phone, you pay attention. I haven't flown yet, connection problems, now compass won't calibrate, so I'm trying to decide on a return. I have nine days left on my return window.

DJI lists 1.2.1 as compatible with my Moto G7 Power but doesn't list my phone as compatible with 1.2.2. Can anyone help? I've downloaded the .apk file but haven't installed yet.

DJI site shows Moto G7 Play as compatible with v. 1.2.1 which I'm running. DJI doesn't list that phone as compatible with 1.2.2. Anyone know?

My flyaway Spark spent about the same amount of time about 60 feet up in a red cedar in a forest adjacent to Puget Sound over a damp, chilly winter. As luck would have it a person in my small community discovered it on the forest floor while she was out for a walk and identified me by video on...
