      I have the Mavic Mini and my Mini 2 Fly More Combo with 1 year DJI Care Refresh package is chilling under the Christmas tree until Christmas this year!
      Even though I have the Mavic Mini as soon as I saw the Mini 2 is out, I actually chose to get the Mini 2 instead of the Mavic Air 2 Fly More Combo! I had the money saved up for the Air 2, but chose the Mini 2 over it! I'm just a huge fan of the Mini models.. And now that DJI made this Mini 2 I'm pretty sure no other company will be able to compete with the Mini 2!
      Sweet
      Keep well and be safe bro!

    To add to the comment, what a remarkable drone shot you created as you moved up into the observation deck of the building. Truly cinematic. This is what these drones can do for us as cinematographers---they create utterly remarkable video images that can add so much to a documentary or any sort of video story.

    I'm a new Mini 2 pilot and have been very cautious, probably overly so on letting her fly more than a stones throw.
    I appreciate your comments on its reliability of signal and now since watching this feel like I can let the Mini 2 reins a bit looser and confidently fly more distant.
    I also wondered about low light flying and you have answered that question as well. I appreciate all your video's and your jovial approach. Kudo's

    That's the best Memphis has EVER looked. I got the Mini 2 about a week ago. Absolutely blown away by it. Got the Fly More combo, worth every single cent. Got my ND Filters, tablet holder, lights and landing gear too. Absolutely stunning wjat these will do. I live in S. Florida and have flown it at Haulover inlet and Hillsboro Inlet with at least 20-30 mph winds and it doesn't budge the video AT ALL. Smooth as ice. The drone barely moves a half an inch in those winds. And they can get really gusty as well. The video was PERFECT IN the wind. The Mini 2 is absolutely incredible.
    Your video looks fantastic.

    I'm sorry, folks. Maybe I'm in denial or something, but I can't see the massive improvement you talk about.
    I have a mini1 for a long time now and I know it has some nightlight limitations, but I saw the same in the mini2... I remind you that the sensor is the same, the aperture as well, only difference is (supposedly) in the processor that handles better the 4k resolution... so... how can it be better unless it is a software tweak? You can improve the video too with a post processing... and it'll get much better than what you got with the mini2.
    Ok, the ocusync is better for heavy wifi environments, but with some yagis you can overcome that as well, so...
    I'm sorry, I'm just not that convinced so far...
    Liked your video comparisons though. Am sorry that you let the mini1 go (no further tests...), but I totally understand there is no point in keeping them both.
    Take care.

      Kind of a no brainier. Aircraft that need to see it won't be flying below you.
      Although you can place one underneath to help the PIC locate it, the main objective is to make the drone visible to manned aircraft up to 3 statute miles.

    I think it's important to state that if you modify your drone (ie. strobe light) it surpasses the >250 gram limit rule under 14 CFR 107 and must be registered with the FAA if flown in the US. Not a big deal for most folks, but the FAA is cracking down on drone channels on TH-cam because you are posting videos that provide them with the evidence.

      @sparcsapphiredge3087 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have to disagree... NOBODY can have an expectation of privacy outside their own home/property...
      And I know not all people will think or feel that way but if anything they just need to be educated! Who cares if some hobbyist flying around is merely wondering if you're going to wave or not when the primary focus of their flight is buildings, bridges, and City scape...
      All we need to do is remind them that, the government is 'always watching', because they are. Because of them you don't even have privacy in your own home or on your own property.
      About the only way you MAY get any privacy would be to build a secret bunker like 200ft underground with 195ft of concrete! That way you could avoid satellite, infra red, heat signature detection, etc! But as long as you have a phone, you're BEING WATCHED (and or listened to)...
      So, I find it hard to believe ANYONE actually 'expects' privacy any longer!

    • @Rocksteady72a
      @Rocksteady72a 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ellobo1326 This isn't really a discussion about privacy, it's permission. Walking into Walmart, you're essentially giving the owner (Walmart, whatever business) to film you. The same can't be said if someone decides to follow you with their phone, for ex, which is why there are laws against that. The thing is, the latter isn't really enforceable because everybody has a phone that they can whip out as nondescriptly as they want. But for drones, they can immediately be spotted and taken down, and if things like this cause similar laws to be put on drones, then that harms the rest of us pilots.
