DJI Mini 2 SE - Why I Always Pack This Drone With Me / Narrated Flight and Behind The Scenes Footage

Hey All,
I am so glad I had my DJI Mini 2 SE packed with me because the clouds held off long enough for me to pull over for a spontaneous flight. I have always wanted to time a flight down this particular water feature during late evening light. Although I only had 56% Battery it goes to show how much you can still capture with a short flight. Check out the links below for more information!

My mini 2 se arrives tomorrow. First drone. Long time RC flyer. Mostly planes and a few helicopters. Looking forward to a new avenue to pursue because I am also big into photography. Thanks for your channel! I live in Utah.

Hand launching and landing will get rid of the need to carry a landing pad. I purchased this drone in the Philippines but will give to my nephew as I got a mini 4 pro waiting for me at home in the UK. I wanted 4k, obstacle avoidance, and auto tracking.

@The-Drone-Guy 4 ай бұрын

I often do that especially at the beach but sometimes It’s just as easy to throw it on the truck. The landing pad is mostly to avoid dust and debris getting blown into the gimbal components. You are going to really enjoy the mini 4 pro 🚁👍🔥

@Crodhe 4 ай бұрын

I'm curious! I bought a Mini 2 SE a couple of days ago, but had to send it back immediately. For some reason, the Drone connected to the RC-N1, but after 5 seconds, dropped connection and wouldn't reconnect unless restarted. And then it would drop again, within 5-8 seconds. This kept happening after the first Firmware update, and resetting Firmware isn't possible from my understanding. Have you experienced or heard about this phenomenon with the Mini series? Been really liking your approach to the DJI Mini 2 SE and it's capabilities!

@The-Drone-Guy 4 ай бұрын

Hey, i have a question (actually 2 questions, i guess), i will try to make them as short as possible. lol. I live in a DJI altitude zone, i guess it's called the grey zone, says altitude restricted to 500 meters. WHen i fly my drone, i cant go any higher than 490 feet, I know ur not supposed to fly higher then u can see, i have really good lights, and can still see it fine, it stops me every time at 490 feet, not meters, feet. How can i go higher??? That wasn't really my question tho, that i was writing about.This is... Where im at in the altitude zone restriction is right on the edge, so i am wondering, if i fly the drone to an area that isn't restricted, can I go higher, OR do i have to have the remote be outside the grey zone? Hope u understand what i mean. I just want a way to go a little higher. Loving your channel man.

@The-Drone-Guy 4 ай бұрын

Hey there, I am really glad to hear you are enjoying my channel. I would suggest downloading the ALOF "Air Control" App. It is really helpful in knowing what airspace you are in and what the height restrictions are. 400 feet is the max unless you are part 107 certified. However I think to answer your question, have you looked in the the Control tab of the settings menu via the DJI fly app? there you should be able to set the height limit. I can't guarantee that will work, you still may hit a geozone or something. What part of the country are you in?

@toddlauretteHabsFan 4 ай бұрын

@@The-Drone-Guy I have put that up as high as it will go, Im in moncton New Brunswick, on the east coast. The height i have it set to is like 1500 feet i think, somewhere around there. I dont want to go higher than that very often, but it would be nice to be able to do it once in a while. I didnt expect to be limited at 490 feet. That's not really that high. And i will try the app, thanks.

@@toddlauretteHabsFan I’m not 100% sure of laws in Canada so that is also why I may be limited. But whichever governing body in Canada handles aviation, see which apps they recommend for sectional mapping. I hope to get up your way for some droning.

It does depend on the conditions and circumstances but I’d say it’s capable of flying up to 1/2 a mile in most scenarios. But under better conditions I have flown it up to 3 miles away. Generally that is completely unnecessary and most of the best images and video I capture are within the general area where I launch. Hope this helps!
