Sample footage are lit. Glad they finally upgraded the quality of the image and the addition of Ocusync 2.0 will really make the Mini 2 a powerful tiny drone.
Been flying drones for 5 years (professionally for 4) and I haven't been as impressed with landscape drone vids for quite a while. DJI owes you BIG for this. So jealous!!! KEEP IT UP PM!
Top feature I'd want? Auto HDR bracket EV -3 EV0 EV+3 RAW photo configurable pano mode like vert pano horizontal pano super res 4x3 pano. That would make it an instant buy for me even if it was $2500. I don't own a drone, but it's my understanding that they don't have usable HDR pano modes yet - like you have to go manual and do it yourself which is slower and the drone can drift in the time it takes you to move the shutter speed etc.
I'm wondering what next gen toy DJI is going to push next. Within 3 months ths we got a gen4 Osmo Mobile, gen2 Ronin, gen2 Pocket, and now a gen2 Mini. All thats left is the Action and upper scale drones.
@@TetraTimboman You can use AEB (3 or 5 photos), and you don't have to deal with changing exposure manually. You have a lot more control over the image if you do the framing yourself, automatic pano mode is a really unnecessary tool for a photographer.
@Vic Neighbors this is a photography and videography video, please don't bring politics here. It's hard enough to get away from it without people bringing it where it isn't needed, wanted, or relevant.
@@justacameraman4900 everything is inherently political. It's what being in a society is. Being apathetic just highlights your privilege of not needing to worry about it. For example, this very OP comment made me wonder: 'huh, despite lockdowns and pandemics and millions of preventable deaths, the tech industry didn't slow down. I wonder what has gone on behind the scene to make this happen? Has exploitation increased even further to compensate?'
@@firstname405 dude, chill out. I have to worry about politics every day. But you dont have to bring politics into everything. Fr would it kill you to just let some part of the internet be in peace away from the horror show that is modern politics. Literally all op said was pandemic. Op said nothing about trump, democrats, or how it was handled, nothing about that. Country's were shut down, not peoples minds or ability to invent. thats how innovation happened, despite a pandemic. Not everything is a conspiracy.
"Don't worry, it's not" And the whole world knows what he's talking about. Then the charger in the box part... 😂 We're starting to understand each other without words.
I went from an inspire 2 down to a spark after quitting the industry and the thing that sells the mini 2 for me is the occusync, 4k and the fact you can fly these almost anywhere. This may well be the drone that gets me back into flying drones after falling majorly out of love for it.
I'm curious if it's camera quality is really much better then the original.. think it's the same camera, unlocked to 4k with digital zoom. 4k is better I suppose.
100%!! That's 1 of the 2 main reasons I love his videos. The other being his awesome high energy feel good vibe that he omits without it being over barring, fake, or alienating him from reality, all the while helping keep the bad and chaotic stuff of reality out of it.
The fact is nobody is going to fly a 249 gram drone more than a few 1000 feet if 1000 feet at all. It is practically invisible at 100 ft. The more compact Mini controller let's you travel very small.
Like most Canadians, Peter has inspired me to start my own channel - and I’m having the time of my life. I can’t thank him enough for his knowledge and generosity. Peter for Prime Minister!!
Oh my god, I was gonna post a comment saying 'for a second threre I thought you were holding a burger in the thumbnail' Then I had a closer look and just went '...ok what?' 🤣
What a great video and the 'sample' shots did not disappoint - excellent, especially the shot flying as it was snowing - awesome! Will be buying one based on this. Thank you :-)
Amazing video and amazing product! Unfortunately, I won't be getting the Mini 2 because doctors told me that I need at least one kidney to be able to live.
This is definitely a budget drone and a killer value. Go look up a DJI Inspire or a DJI Matrice if you want some real sticker shock. I really want one, I'm just having a hard time justifying it to myself right now.
Just sold my Mini for the Mini 2. Now, if it stops storming, I'll go flying.. Great video, liked and subscribed. This drone will be a fantastic addition to my motorcycle touring kit... Well done!
Great Canadian Boys right there, those shots from Toronto looked so great and wherever those other shots were in Ontario looked phenomenal 👍Keeping us proud 🇨🇦
Mr.McKinnon could you give advise about editing workflow. I've been flying for 2 years, but never really edited until recently. I'm 1 year from being 12 and I wanted to start up early, so it would come slightly easier in the future.
Who else is watching this video and thinking: “oooooh my god this is the perfect drone for me!! It has everything I wanted my first ever drone to be : it’s small, lightweight, has a good price, flying it is not going to violate any rules and while doing all this it also takes amazing footage!!!”
I'm embarrassed to admit it but I still have a Phantom 3 standard. Seeing the two different sizes next to each other is impressive, a smaller package would be a game changer for me. Fingers crossed for some DJI deals this Friday. Thanks for the review Peter, amazing quality as always.
In 1 WEEK, you manage to have snow storm, crazy automne colors, city, wild landscape, perfect sunset and so on... Man, I wish I could be in Canada!! Nice vid' 😉
Peter, I really enjoy your videos thank you for making them. I am a nurse and was concerned when watching your video tonight. What has me concerned is that you said that you were having illness symptoms and then you filmed sitting right next to your guest. If you are feeling symptomatic at all, for any reason, it would be best not to be in close proximity of other people. It would be great for your viewers to see how much you care for others by watching out for their health as you recover from your illness. With your expert camera skills I am sure you can get creative in the future, if you are feeling symptomatic, and film your videos while allowing for social distancing and or mask wearing. From a health promotion and teaching standpoint and a little of a soapbox point... Peter we are in the middle of a 100 year airborne pandemic and flu season is here and you are symptomatic with “something.” I suggest you consider getting tested for covid-19 and so should your guest. Try to get a PCR test and not a rapid covid-19 test as they are more accurate however all tests miss positive cases some of the time. The cdc has a great “symptom checker” on their web site and this can help you decide if you should get tested. They also have further advice about how long to isolate for. If you still aren’t sure you can call your doctors office or your local health department for advice on testing. Last time I was tested I got a free box of KN95 masks. Feel better Peter. Thank you for your videos. Thank you for doing the right thing and caring for the health of others around you. Nurses and those affected by this pandemic thank you for your stewardship ❤️🌎
Spark is a great sturdy drone. Wonder why dji completely abandoned it. Imo mavic mini is a spark 2.0 cause of the features being tone down. But they need to slap "Mavic" on it cause it sounds more professional & can sell more than a spark 2.0. People just take it more seriously
@@danielswinger2986 yeah. Drone pilots like us are finding it really difficult now. You should watch Peter McKinnon’s video on the Canadian drone laws. You basically have to become a qualified manned aircraft pilot to fly there.
Great video. I wanted a new drone, smaller than my phantom 3 but cheap as there’s such strict rules in the uk it’s hard to fly anywhere. I’ll grab one of these
I sleep in my jeep to. Lol... best way to get to some cool shots. I just bought a mavic mini and should have waited for the mini2. But I do love the mini. Minus the windy days. What is the frames per second on this bad boy?
Had my Inspire 1 for years. Taken it on every trip. Never use it. Too time consuming to get out of the car, set up and faff around with it. This looks perfect!
first flight with this bad boy yesterday and im blown away with it last time i flew a drone was a phantom 2 years ago so this mini2 was just so different level, weather forecast is rubbish for the rest of the week (lives in scotland) so wont be able to get out there for a wee while yet, cant wait for some nice spring weather, itching to go 👏
I re-watched the video and noticed all the footage is actually super sharp is this a defect of the drone or post production? all the edges seem to have aliasing, can this be corrected?
I’ve flown my Mini once since I got it. No regrets. TH-cam ENERGY.
You are very nice thanks for your videos
I imagined your smashing the mini on the table 😆
How is the wind stability?
I love your excessorize videos

I read some article about some adjustments inside the drone. We could get the Mavic 3 in half a year

So hyped! Probably gonna have to upgrade lol! That sample footage was too good!
Idk what to do now. My decision to upgrade would be the Occusync. cuz I think the 2.7k from the mini 1 is still great resolution.
The little Blow to apple on the included charger brick lol, good stuff
Peter: "Harness The TH-cam Energy"
Me: Inner Peace 🐼 🧘🏻♂️
Still no sensora! I just cought a branch over stream and my mini felt in stream last winter. Now it always throwa a error before flying.

Oh and this new mini 2 is pretty badass!
I like that there’s a color grade difference. Sometimes they put unrealistic footages and u think how d heck did it get that nice
Footage is super impressive brilliant little drone
Bruh, before the event even starts😂 Classic Pete
Lol bro I the burgers one is killing me

HAHAHAHHAA Peter I love you bro
Nice footage. Does anyone know how this Mini 2 improves over the Mini 1? Curious what are the major differences/upgrades. 👍
98% sure this will be my first legit drone. The portability is insane in conjunction with the quality of those shots.
Great dude very happy too see the mini 2
Amazing video and amazing product! Unfortunately, I won't be getting the Mini 2 because doctors told me that I need at least one kidney to be able to live.
You can sell a lung since you've got two of those, too.
@@anthonyfisher784 The Mini 2 is the best drone right now under $500. It is not that expensive when you consider what you are going to get in return.

The funny this is, on a 1080 laptop watching TH-cam, nobody could even tell if this video came from a DJI Spark. These are good drone times.

I need one. I definitely need one. That blizzard shot is crazy.
Am im the only one who gets anxiety when he shakes the drone so hard🙃
dji just keeps getting better and better...so as your vids Peter!
because the size and weight is this drone more “legal” to fly it everywhere? it could be considered a toy
Maybe a drone is something I need! Great footage.

first flight with this bad boy yesterday and im blown away with it last time i flew a drone was a phantom 2 years ago so this mini2 was just so different level, weather forecast is rubbish for the rest of the week (lives in scotland) so wont be able to get out there for a wee while yet, cant wait for some nice spring weather, itching to go 👏
