Hello everybody all around the world. My name is Dave. I live in Suffolk in the UK. A few of you might remember my woes. When I had sold my mini 1. And invested in a mini 2 fly more combo. The cut to the Chase. I was never able to get a picture on my device, due to a "Connection problem" And as strange as it may seem. I was able to roll the gimble up and down. But got no picture. So it went back to the store. I came away with another new one. I connected the fresh one up the way I had been doing with my original Mini1 for 18 months. I uninstalled the fly app again. Reinstalled it again. Held my breath. and first turned on the controller. Turned on the drone. I recalibrated the compass. by doing the usual little dance of rotating the drone horizontally. Then vertically. the with its nose up. I put the drone on the ground. Lights were flashing but no on-off flashing green lights on the rear, like my mini 1. Once again, I had movements on the gimbal. but no picture FFS !! I was so stressed and angry with this. Surely I've not bought another Dud. I was posting questions on here. so many people replied with advice. Of which I tried all of them. Yes, I've tried everything !!!. I really do think it must be me. As I'm old and bloody stupid. And a bit thick as far as understanding all the tech speak a lot of you were using. I'm sorry about that
I always read that when the app is installed. That "The drone will work right out of the box". ??? So. In shear angry stress. I returned the second one back to the store. And came away with a full no questions asked refund. They never even looked in the box FFS.
Right. I still want a Mini 2. And decided that I would wait three months (Now) to try again. Just in case there had been a recall because of this problem. I had given my mini one to my son for Christmas. He could see how cross the bloody drone was making me. He said. Have the drone back, dad. So I did. I had deleted everything I could on it. before giving it to him. So I reassembled the mini one. Powered it up. I had a picture. Yippie !! The first step accomplished. She said "Your home point has been noted" And I took off across the fields. And had a wonderful time. It was like I had returned home from the war. I was elated. Now the main reason I changed to the 'two' was that it is supposed to cope better in slightly stronger winds. As to be honest. The mini-one doesn't like it if you even breathe on it. Only joking. But I want better than that. The DJI drones are amazing. So once again. Has anyone else had this problem? I don't want to buy yet another android phone. Unless I really have to. For those of you in the UK. Are there any camera stores here in the UK? In Essex / Suffolk /Cambridge region that sells DJI Drones, Which will show me how to pair up the mini 2 with my phone in the store before I'm satisfied enough and leave the store a happy boy (70-year-old boy that is).
Please help this old guy out, mates.
Thanks Dave
