Perfect instructional video. Easy to understand and follow along. I am looking forward to watching the next related video while I'm waiting for my new Mini SE to charge up and do my first-ever drone flight. Cheers.
Hi Bernard, if you click the three dots in the top right of the app to open up the Settings menu, look for Control at the top, then you'll be able to switch it into Sport mode. Hope that helps!
You're welcome, thanks for the comment! Android works well for me, but many drone pilots prefer iOS devices as they are more secure, easier to set up, and less video/frame glitches.
Hi Rock, saw your comment on our other video and just responded. Which phone model do you have? If it's not on their Android list, it might not work...but instead of buying a new (or used) phone for your drone flights, maybe try setting it up to see if it works first?
Hi Nick, depends on what kind of work you're looking to do. For basic aerial photography and filmmaking, which could work for a variety of organizations / clients, the Mini SE is a great system. To swim upstream, of course, you'd want higher-end quality or more specific sensors depending on the kind of work you're doing.
I have DJI mini se before I have no problem with the distance now it fly only 50 meter even I set it to 200 meter . What’s is the problem ? I need help
Not familiar with that phone, specifically. If it uses Android as its operating system, the DJI Mini SE requires Android 6.0 to work with the Fly app. More info here >> www.dji.com/mini-se/downloads
Hi, I ordered mine just now, will arrive tomorrow...plz tell me how long it takes to charge the controller and how long for the drone as well, I've got the one with one battery only for now. Thx...Great video 📹
Bro the fact that you have to push once then again and hold to turn stuff on took me so long to figure out. I found a bunch of others with the same issue so we just though it was shitty making but when i realised, i felt like such a dumb ass
Unfortunately, I was never able to pair the drone with the remote. And when I connect my iPhone 13 Pro Max ro the controller, the phone make the bong noise when you plug the phone in to charge, This bong is repeated every few seconds. The four lights on the controller blink together and the drone has a blinking LED light. They never pair up and eventually the controller shouts down. I'm disappointed in this product.
Hi i have problem with my drone. I have problem with connecting. I downloaded app DJI Fly and start the controller after that started drone and after that i connect my phone to controller and in the application popped up the some message. Message is Aircraft resetting wireless network settings to match local laws and regulations. Wait and connect again later. I dont know what I can do with that. Can you help me ? I live in Europe and i get the second drone and it have the same problem so it must be some of problem in the app
I'm aware that using the Mavic Mini battery in the SE increases it weight. But what is the effect of losing power mean? Less time, or slower flying?? Will using it damage the SE?
Yes, using a Mavic Mini battery would make the SE weigh slightly over 250g. But when it comes to "losing power," I suppose this would be in reference to the SE battery being a bit more powerful / more bang for the weight, so if you're using the older Mavic Mini battery, you're "losing power" in the sense that the battery life wouldn't be as long when compared to the newer battery. I don't believe any damage would be done to the SE, as the Mini battery is compatible.
@@uavcoach thank you for the response. So flight time would be less, not actual voltage power per se. Thank u. Even if you only get 20 to 25 mins (instead of 30) on the Mini battery, it's ok by me if you're saving $20+ per battery.

I am doing a school program and am helping High School students start up a drone program. I am learning along with them. We all have done our Rec lic and are studying for the Part 107 . I have 8 ipads and would like to use them with our drones. I have 2 DJI minis, a Phantom 3 (donated) and an SE on the way. Can I use an ipad with these or do I have to have a cellular device. (I know the Phantom requires a Commercial Lic to fly). My question is really about the ipads.
Hi Julie, thanks for your comment. The iPads can run the app, but the challenge is that they aren't going to fit the native controllers for the DJI Minis and SE. You can get an adaptor though, something like this: www.amazon.com/Mount-Adapter-Holder-Mavic-Padding/dp/B089XKMY2Z?th=1
Sorry my friend I have one question, the extra battery you are showing us is totally different from the dji mini SE , do you think it will fit mini SE , did you try ????

Hi David, sorry to hear you are having issues. What, specifically, are you unable to do? DJI Assistant definitely works with the Mini SE, but many folks don't even use that software and can update firmware / activate / operate the drone using the DJI Fly app...why are you needing to use Assistant?

Is the app called dji pilot now?
When you're flying the Mini SE, you're using the DJI Fly app. DJI also has the Pilot app for its enterprise drones, and the Go 4 app for older models.
