On my farm in Delaware county....While on duty in Manhattan I spent many hours in B&H after lunch at The Jackson Hole Diner just a great place to shop, browse.
Short tour of the Mini2 with all the highlights; nicely done. The controller is a nice upgrade from the Mini and faster to set up. Improved connectivity and 4K are probably worth upgrading from the Mini to this.
Thanks - that was the best comprehensive-but-not-too-long video. Just ordered the mini 2 and will still use my Phantom 3 pro. Great video - subscribed and liked!
I love the DJI mini 2 just waiting for the mini 3 to come out now. I do have a question though about DJI mini 2, that is how to activate the follow tracking can you do a video regarding that and show us visually how it's done on the controller with the cellphone screen??
Pretty awesome. but the website doesn't list the same accessories mentioned in the video. for example the website doesn't talk about a carry case and also a 3 battery charger.
Are you sure you are looking at the correct product? You need to go to the DJI store and click mini 2. Then there will be two options: the mini 2 and the mini 2 fly more combo. Once you click the fly more combo you can see the charger and carry case and the other accessories. These are only available with the fly more combo, not with the normal package.
@B&H just got my mini 2 SE great wee machine, however the return to home doesn’t seem to work! Any pointers? Other than that love it shame the weather is not great in Scotland today
A couple of things worth noting. The charger doesn’t charge batteries simultaneously, just one by one. And that fast transfer speed is 20 megabytes per second, not 20 megabits (and you don’t need to use the remote once it’s been set up, it’s a direct connection from Mini 2 to phone)
Yes it is. Charge the controller's 5200 mAh internal lithium-ion battery via the controller's USB-C port. A full charge will take about four hours. >Mark
yes, defiantly. The DJI mini 2 is great for people who are beginners to drones but still want good quality photos. The next step up from this one is the DJI Mini 3 Pro, still a great option.
I'm happy with my Mini being I shoot 1080p @ 60fps, but I do like 2's controller. It's too bad I can't just purchase that controller to use it with my Mini. No lost in connection, I just like how the phone can be mounted, the thumb buttons and one can easily switch to Cine, Normal or Spot
I got the Spark years ago, and loved the quality but the biggest problem was the wi-fi. I was lucky, never a fly away, but in a city environment it would disconnect at 1000 ft away. Just unusable technology. I never wanted to shell out the big bucks for occusync. That, along with 4k and a reasonable price are making me tempted to move on from the spark.
I’m thinking of getting one of theres. Are they has good has they look? £550 is quite a bit of cash do they do all it says on the reviews . Can’t wait to get on .
Hi there, i am thinking of getting this to get close to the ufos that i see quite often. My question is can you make the camera tilt upwards towards the sky so that i can see my target above me, or would i need to match the object's altitude so that i could see it on the video feed?
Very easy James. Just plug the DJI Mini 2 into your computer's USB port: Firmware v01.03.0000: DJI has released a firmware update for the Mini 2 drone. Firmware version 01.03.0000 adds important new functionality to the Mini 2, including support for the DJI Smart Controller and an optimized auto-discharge process that should improve the Mini 2's overall battery life. Along with the added functionality and support, the firmware update also optimizes the gimbal FPV mode and improves stability for an improved flight experience. To learn more about this update, including the full release notes, be sure to visit DJI's firmware support page. >Mark
No they are not compatible components.. These FPV goggles are not Ocusync 2.0 nor do they have an HDMI input. The FPV Air Unit is a bit too heavy as well. >Mark
Does it have a recall feature? If im struggling to bring it back, can it come back on its own? Sorry might be an obvious question, but this will be first.
You say that it is the perfect drone for a beginner...are there clear instructions on how to set up and use everything? I am seriously considering buying the item...but figuring out all the tech stuff gets very frustrating...I already have Phantom, but this looks a bit difficult to set up and use.....I have bought from B&H before...I know they are a very good and reputable dealer, so no hesitation if I buy it to obtain it from them...just remember the problems getting the JDI account set up and all
DJI provides clear and easy instructions in addition to a plethora of FAQs and videos on their website. We have our own specialists on staff that are available to help you as well. >Mark
Thanks to the DJI Fly app and intelligent recording options, such as pre-programmed QuickShot flight paths and multiple panorama options, the Mini 2 can deliver creative pro-quality shots with a tap. >Mark
It's great that you say, "Obey local laws and regulations" but, you need to add, "Follow Federal regulations" as the FAA has a great deal to say about drone operations under 14 CFR Part 107.
The QuikShot circle mode radius/distance has not been tested nor is it documented by DJI for the Mini 2 at this time. DJI does warn NOT to use this feature when the subject is more than 50m away from the aircraft. I would suppose it would offer similar performance in this regard. >Mark
Does this have that little feature when U accidentally fly to far a & it warns U & starts flying back towards U automatically or does it just warn U????
When it comes to piloting the Mini 2, DJI provides multiple intelligent capabilities and features to make it easier, such as automatic takeoff, precise hovering, and a smart return-to-home function that uses GPS to return the drone safely back to its takeoff point. >Mark>
@@BandH , not that I would fly from that distance but have you had a chance to test the range yourself and if so, would you say that going 1/2 mile to a mile away would not be an issue?
DJI ActiveTrack is not available for the DJI Mavic Mini 2. It is currently featured with these DJI devices only: Mavic Air 2 Mavic 2 Pro Mavic 2 Zoom Inspire 2 Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 Phantom 4 Pro Phantom 4 Advanced Phantom 4 Mavic Pro Platinum Mavic Pro Alpine White Mavic Pro Spark Osmo Series >Mark
It'll track momentarily during Quickshots (with some practice you can trick certain Quickshot modes to follow a little longer than intended). But tracking is nothing near the Air 2 or higher models
Really crazy seeing how small it is in his hand, literally can pull it out of my pocket when ever which is a HUGE plus. Only downside looks to be video quality, but given that this drone is meant to get people comfy with flying, I'd say its a great start with its size and battery life.
Jake, this was wonderful. So I saw Flyt Path's video on the Mavic 3 and I was blown away by his Mini 2 footage. And since the Mavic 2 Pro was no longer in my B&H wishlist, I am seriously considering this moving up from my Spark. I think these modes are enough for me and my current audience for the time being, and you can get a crap ton of batteries and fly all day long. And have $2000 left to spend in the store elsewhere, just not on a Playstation 5.
it sounds like the guy got paid for this review. He didn't even try to speak about low sides. e.g what this drone doesn't have vs. similarly or higher priced drones
I often do inspections where others participate remotely using Microsoft Team or similar app using my iPhone 13. Is it possible for them to see what I am seeing with this or any other drone?
Where would you fly the DJI Mini 2 first?

I love that triple charger! And I love it even more that the Drone might be smaller than the triple charger!
Its is pretty cool you can charge all three batteries and the controller at the same time.

Using the return to home feature, does it ascend to a safe altitude prior to returning or will it return at its current altitude?
It returns to a safe altitude. Consult the manual for details: www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/644708.pdf >Mark

The camera is fixed with no pan or tilt control. But it can show an image maybe 15 to 20 degrees above itself. Match the altitude if you can. >Mark

Minor updates really. If they had included object avoidance and object tracking it really would have been a home run.
They can't put all that in and keep in under 249 grams. And that fact that you now get a much more reliable OcuSync controller, is hardly 'minor'.

It's great that you say, "Obey local laws and regulations" but, you need to add, "Follow Federal regulations" as the FAA has a great deal to say about drone operations under 14 CFR Part 107.
Good point, the FAA controls the air space. Local and Federal regs. control where you can take off, land.
