@@dimagass7801 ahhh dude i love everything about this small drone.if dji pack this drone with active track and a avoiding sensor's this drone in my opinion is better than other dji drones because of the smaller size and less noise and you can make him go to the smaller places and avoid obstacles more easily. I wish mini 3 has this features. Finger crossed 😁
Nice to see such a test conducted responsibly with a spotter! Just a note, when flying under obstacles with a ceiling and a chance of losing signal, remember to set your RTH to "Hover", otherwise your drone might try to return and crash, because of no obstacle avoidance 😉
Hi Ken! I recently bought a MINI too and am now learning to fly. When I watched you fly the drone, my heart almost flew out of my chest. You are a Brave guy !!! Bravo! I fly on the football field every day and dream of flying a drone as well as you !!!👍👍👍
I’m confused. You said you received LAANC approval, but most of downtown Nashville is uncontrolled airspace and doesn’t require it. Additionally according to Part 107, the rule that you can fly over 400ft within 400ft of a structure is only applicable in uncontrolled airspace, so if you received LAANC approval, then you were in controlled airspace and not allowed to go above 400ft without a waiver, but if you were in uncontrolled airspace, then you broke now laws except telling everyone you had LAANC approval when none was required. Can you clarify? Am I way off? I just got my Part 107 so the clarification would be appreciated.
I use that same Sandisk card in my mini 2 that you just tore up....works frine for me. I think perhaps you just needed to format the card after taking it out of the Mini 1 and then inserting it into the Mini 2
That's insane! I'll be flying very far with my Mini 2 and seeing how much OcuSync 2.0 is better than WiFi is absolutely amazing, previously had a Mini but I returned it, glad I did so now I have money for the Mini 2, it's coming next week. I'm so excited
Not only entertaining but informative. You tell the audience about things that ACTUALLY MATTER. I guess that comes from all the years of hard work. B.T.W the PENETRATION was FLAWLESS. THANKS KEN. DAVE FROM CRAB ORCHARD TN.
The "Mavic Mini 2" goes up to 500 m (1640 ft) high. That is the highest setting in the "DJI Fly"-App. And it works. Even in the city. I didn't try to "fly around", but quite straight up and down was no problem at all. I love this little thing.
Even more trustworthy are MicroSD cards such as SanDisk High Endurance. They're class 10 U3 V30 with extra shielding. Higher resistance to temp extremes, magnetic fields, x-rays and vibration & shock. Microsd is durable to begin with; these are just beefed up. No significant price difference. Ideal for drone life.
I'm a 360 photographer and I just got a Mini2 yesterday. I haven't opened the box and was thinking that I might have to exchange it for a Mavic Air2 for the better resolution. After watching this video of the AT&T building, I decided to keep it. Thanks for the great tips.

Ken.. ya convinced me to buy a Mini 2.. been flying several months now, 70 miles covered already. it is a HUGE value of fun .. and best part is how stealthy it is, hardly anyone even notices it .. it's small & quiet compared to other drones I have, and SO PORTABLE with the flymore carrying case .. it is now my go to drone for filming.
Ken, Best drone channel on here man. Thank you for the vids and especially the Mini-SD card info. I have been watching video after video of other channels and nothing, not one thing about what Mini-SD card to use. So again, Thank you.
Yes you should get the fly more combo because it’s a better value. If you decide to buy the other accessories later you will end up paying more. I just bought the fly more combo refurbished with warranty on eBay for $439 so if you want to save money that is a option.
I just started flying yesterday. I have my part 107 cert and all that. I took thing to 300 ft in a field and was shaking. Watching you fly around the At&T building had me so nervous. My goodness. Excellent flying and video. Eventually, I will be this confident.
@@JuanSanchez-nn1db I took a course and that helped. it's a lot to study for, so I definitely recommend taking a course. I took the Part 107 course on this website: pilotinstitute.com/

ye the mini 2 has an RTH button its a great drone I've been flying mine for a while now and really recommend it but if you really want to use it for professional use then check the Mavic air 2 as it has a better camera and forward and back censors but the mini 2 is great
Alex Greer thanks. My use will mainly be totally amateur as far as catching footage on vacations etc. I do lots of traveling on my motorcycle and hit lots of Natl parks while en route to rally's across the country during the summer.

Alex Greer ok. Thanks. That's just stupid if you ask me. You can drive bikes, cars, camp, swim, hike, raft etc in Natl Park which all potentially lead to a certain level of littering & pollution.

What ever happened to the KDF building? It that the same building that is now the AT&T building. I can still remember the big KDF letters at the top, and the observation deck.
I'm gonna get a new Extreme Pro SD card for my M2P soon and I use an Extreme Plus SD card in my Mini 2. 😉 Great footage of your Mini 2 climbing over 500 ft AGL.
Hi Ken, interested to know how much more you are flying the mini 2 vs your other drones now. Thinking about adding the mini 2 to my collection of my Air and Mavi2 Zoom or just sell the air and get the mini2 to replace it.
New Mini 2 drone owner here with a possible newbie question. Ive only flown my mini 2 a few times, but one thing I noticed is that when I get in up about 30 ft. or higher the drone will hold its horizontal position pretty well, but vertically it will climb about 5 feet and lower 5 feet. So if I got it up to 100 ft., it would go up and down between 95ft.-105ft without me touching the controls. Also, there was some wind those days but about 10-15 mph gusts at most. And I had the drone in Cinematic mode each time. Does that seem normal? Thanks and great video!
Each time you fly you should make sure you have no updates or calibrations pending. Then launch and hold the drone at a hover about shoulder height and look for erratic flight or odd sounds. It's also a good idea to make sure your Home Point is up to date so the drone will come back to the launch point. WARNING - If you move from your launch point you will want to update your Home Point.
Hope that you know by now that you clear the height warning simply by touching it with your finger. Had my Mini 4 Pro up to the maximum of 1,640 feet tonight.
@@FishingFosterr My home is surrounded by mountains that go up a lot higher than a mere 400 feet. I'm never actually 1,640 feet above the ground. Just that high above my home point. You can look it up. In the US a DJI mini drone is allowed to go up that high, but you are warned by the FAA that planes could be in that same vicinity. You have to watch for them, but no plane will be flying 400 feet above a mountain top.
I’m just finding your channel and what a smile it gave me, so nice for you to let that young lady try first hand too! You just got yourself a permanent fan
@@KenHeron no I put a condom on my phone so I’m safe just like you. Sorry man Im just acting childish. I just bought the DJI mini 2 today and was watching your review before I bought. Good job on the review quality editing and footage

It's a GREAT first drone - had mine about a month and love it. I'd wait and see how the pricing on the Mini 3 compares, if it's got sensors all around I'd spend the extra few hundred - really the only thing the Mini 2 lacks.
@@scrambler350 yeah I was thinking on waiting to see about the mini 3 but at the moment I think the 2 will be more in my price range, can always upgrade to the 3 at a later date :)
@@gmmusic9749 Can't go wrong with the Mini 2. You'll be happy with it. I bought mine through DJI and it appears they have a 'trade in' program if, after it comes out and gets put through it's paces, the Mini 3 is just too cool to resist we can always 'upgrade'.
Hey Ken, I was wondering if the rule has changed about flying above 400 feet within a building or is it still the same? Also, could someone without a part 107 abide by that rule too? I wanna grab some cool pics of a tower but haven’t tried getting my part 107 yet. Thanks in advance!
No, he just doesn't want people bothering him, and him having to explain, and show the police proof he's allowed to fly while he's trying to fly for a video.
I bought an Air 2S at Costco a bit before Christmas... was playing with it at work and tried landing it in my hand... it's obstacle avoidance dodged me at the last instant and hit my palm with a prop... cut 2 impressive slices out of my hand. More to learn, less stupid human tricks in my future hopefully.
You don't need a licence to fly a drone in the EU and a few other European countries such as Iceland, Norway and Switzerland if it weighs less than 250 g, but if it has sensors such as a camera you need to register as a drone operator with the national aviation authority of the country you are a resident of and stick your drone operator registration number on the outside of the drone. The registration is then valid for a a period of five years and in all 31 countries of the scheme, and it is free, at least in Germany and Austria. The UK is outside the scheme and you have to register with the CAA as a drone operator for ten pounds a year. Tourists from outside the EU have to register as a drone operator with the national aviation authority of the first EU country they will be operating in. You are not allowed to operate the drone beyond your line of sight or fly higher than 120 m above the ground, which is why the DJI Mini 2 gave an altitude warning, and by EU law you need to have third party liability insurance and (in some countries) carry proof of insurance when you fly the drone.
I like your VO’s vest. I would imagine he doesn’t work for the FAA but I assume it helps slow down the number of people who are highly “edumakated about them flying machines”
I have the same drone. It doesn't fly high or far like yours. There's limit of the altitude and distance from the DJI factory setting. How do you fly overriding the limit?
@@KenHeron Yes. I live in small town of PA, no airport. military base or power plant etc. On my phone, I went safety tab and could change the max altitude and distance, I could fly far till a week ago, not now. Somebody said that I should log off then log in my phone. I will try this.
Hi Ken...,huge fan of your videos....in india the max height allowed for mini2 is 45 feet ...would you be able to recommend any remedy to bypass this stupid rule .,.thanks

That does not seem normal at all. Make sure that all of your firmware is updated, including the batteries. Also do an IMU calibration.
Each time you fly you should make sure you have no updates or calibrations pending. Then launch and hold the drone at a hover about shoulder height and look for erratic flight or odd sounds. It's also a good idea to make sure your Home Point is up to date so the drone will come back to the launch point. WARNING - If you move from your launch point you will want to update your Home Point.
I see you Ken, getting the girls
Im waiting for mine to be delivered. What app do you use to find authorized flight areas?
It shows it on the Dji flight app, whenever you connect the drone to your phone it will show you zones that are restricted and zones that aren’t.
And it won't let you take off in a restricted area unless you have clearance

@@scrambler350 ahh that’s good to know, thanks very much :)
Bringing your own guy who looks like a security guard is brilliant!
🤓👍
Hay ken…there are a lot of people offering 107 testing… what would you recommend that will help me pass my test…
Hey Ken, I was wondering if the rule has changed about flying above 400 feet within a building or is it still the same? Also, could someone without a part 107 abide by that rule too? I wanna grab some cool pics of a tower but haven’t tried getting my part 107 yet. Thanks in advance!
Ken, is there a Mini 3 on the horizon ?
Yes
@@Chris-kk3hp thank you
Lol first time on this channel cause I'm about to get this drone but I'm just dying at the "eagle 1 to turducken" 😂😂
Is it illegal to fly over the street or something? The way you said that made it seem that way
No, he just doesn't want people bothering him, and him having to explain, and show the police proof he's allowed to fly while he's trying to fly for a video.
Thanks for your amazing videos.
Can an OSMO Action and some batteries fit into the fly more combo bag along with what comes with the fly more kit?
I think you'll be able to stuff that in the bag, yes.
I bought an Air 2S at Costco a bit before Christmas... was playing with it at work and tried landing it in my hand... it's obstacle avoidance dodged me at the last instant and hit my palm with a prop... cut 2 impressive slices out of my hand. More to learn, less stupid human tricks in my future hopefully.
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now, great work. Would love to fly with you one day, I live in the Memphis area LOL
I'm struggling to understand the license for Greece, how did you get the license?
He is in Nashville
You don't need a licence to fly a drone in the EU and a few other European countries such as Iceland, Norway and Switzerland if it weighs less than 250 g, but if it has sensors such as a camera you need to register as a drone operator with the national aviation authority of the country you are a resident of and stick your drone operator registration number on the outside of the drone. The registration is then valid for a a period of five years and in all 31 countries of the scheme, and it is free, at least in Germany and Austria. The UK is outside the scheme and you have to register with the CAA as a drone operator for ten pounds a year. Tourists from outside the EU have to register as a drone operator with the national aviation authority of the first EU country they will be operating in. You are not allowed to operate the drone beyond your line of sight or fly higher than 120 m above the ground, which is why the DJI Mini 2 gave an altitude warning, and by EU law you need to have third party liability insurance and (in some countries) carry proof of insurance when you fly the drone.
I like your VO’s vest. I would imagine he doesn’t work for the FAA but I assume it helps slow down the number of people who are highly “edumakated about them flying machines”
Wow.. coincidentally going to pick up a new Mini 2 this afternoon... thanks for the SD card speed tip!
Can you use radio for a spotter? Just asking for myself.
I don't think so
That lady being so happy actually made me happy! An I’m usually never
Glad you're happy Ramon.
My mini 2 se is hard limit to 500m, i get a warning at 120m
You can change the limit in the app's settings I believe.
Maybe it is modified for your county, because some counties modify the software so it does not break the laws and regulations.
Thank you for mentioning the SD card. Great video by the way!
Glad to help.
Thanks!

After visiting Nashville a few weeks ago I find it pretty cool to see Nashville from that high up
Thanks Ken, please do more of those "penetration" tests. I would be interested to know how it does behind trees.
"I can't see it without a magnifier" LMAO....how'd that penetration worked out had to leave the video halfway....LOL
So cool got mine today can’t wait to get started Ty
Congrats and happy flying!
You shoud hire that girl as your new sidekick in your future videos.
I have the same drone. It doesn't fly high or far like yours. There's limit of the altitude and distance from the DJI factory setting. How do you fly overriding the limit?
Are you in the United States? If not, you may have more restrictions built in.
@@KenHeron Yes. I live in small town of PA, no airport. military base or power plant etc. On my phone, I went safety tab and could change the max altitude and distance, I could fly far till a week ago, not now. Somebody said that I should log off then log in my phone. I will try this.
@@KenHeron After I erased the JDI app on my phone and reinstalling, it works likes a cham!
Hi Ken...,huge fan of your videos....in india the max height allowed for mini2 is 45 feet ...would you be able to recommend any remedy to bypass this stupid rule .,.thanks
Vote for better legislators?
@@KenHeron Hahah true that ...but any immediate remedy you can think of🙌
Good I bought the mini 2.. and i Love it so much
does it have tracking mode?
@@mozffox actually none,
Fly the drone, get the chicks. 😎
Lmao 🤣 facts
I like how they stated they can see a drone the size of a cell phone 600 ft away 😂 knowing dam well they're trying to save their ass 😂
If you can't see a Mini from 600 feet, you need to stop by LensCrafters.👓
How can I get 1080p resolution on my phone or tablet from a drone like this? Or ya'll know any other drone?
That ladies reaction was priceless. Drones are so fun
