Note to future myself. Do NOT use the included STUPID screwdriver. It will strip the screw heads and U will be in bad situation. Buy a PH00 screwdriver and don't cheap out on it. The screws are glued from factory so a few seconds with a soldering iron on top of the screw heads helps too.

Great advice on ND filters. Many of these YouTubers (big name ones especially) are pushing ND filters and saying that you NEED them when most people are flying too high to notice any motion blur.

About spending time outdoors...
It's quite funny, that the RC is marked FOR INDOOR USE ONLY, since it's part of a device which is mostly going to be used outdoors.

[DanielBerke]

The very first accessory I got was a lanyard for the controller, when I was doing some on my first flights from on a bridge and realized I was resting my forearms on the railing with the controller held out over the water. 😄It's been super useful though just as a way to free up both hands temporarily.

I did just get some ND+CPL filters in the other day, but I know they're not a magic bullet and am looking forward to learning how to use them for better cinematic shots.

And be sure you bind those prop blades up as tight as you can with that rubber band so that you can make sure that you warp them really good!

[RickyGotskills]

Great info!!! I did not know about the "catch and turn upside down trick"! Brilliant!

[georgen]

I love your helpful videos, you make it fun and educational as well, I learn a lot. thanks.

Great video, Ray. I have spare joysticks (red) in case I can’t find them after dropping them in the grass. I’m all thumbs.

[Stevek]

Thanks for one specific tip. I first saw it on one of your other videos, but not on anyone else's reviews. Hand Catching. I'm fairly new to drones and was wondering how I can launch/retrieve from my 15ft rigid inflatable boat. Nobody else explained how the motors shut down when the drone is flipped upside down. I definitely will be practicing on land before taking it out on the boat. Thanks again!

Thank you for sharing this video! Ordered the Mini 3 and can’t wait to test it

[Tom_Foolery]

The honesty in this video made me sub.

[Vicvanzyl]

your reviews are very handy and well done, one suggestion for DJI ...a lot of people stay in restricted or no fly zones. please ask for 5m hight restriction in these areas so we could set up, test and learn ..

so almost wonderful beautiful video friend i love it

I have the StartRC prop strap with "anti-trip installation" as well. My one concern and I
may just be paranoid but the first night i put it on and took my mini out in the morning, I swear the props were "not quite the same" sounded off and as I applied and removed the strap I noted it was tight and possibly gripping and distorting the blades?
Either way I've not used it since. As for a temporary use item it appears fine, but I'm hesitant on long term or warm/hot storage situations myself

[beldavius]

On the bike mount, could you flip the part that mounts to the remote around so that the curved piece is going the other way? From looking at your videos, it looks like that might shift the center of gravity an inch or two forward, which might make it more stable on a bumpy road.

[tommycarter]

Love the video. Lots of useful ideas. Don't have the mini 3 yet but thinking seriously about getting one. For that matter I don't have a drone yet. Thrown between the mini 2 and mini 3.

[rodc]

Excellent advice, especially about ND filters.

[mtmccornack]

I had a hard case intended for just the aircraft (air 2s) alone, seemed like it protected the gimble in my bag, so I figured the factory gimble guard wasn't as important... boy was I wrong! The stupid aircraft started having gimble motor overload errors conveniently after my care refresh expired... do you have any ideas for aftermarket gimble covers? or any information about gimble care?

Hi I have Huawei 120 W fast charger (Output: 5V-3A / 9V-3A / 11V-6A Max / 20V-4.8A Max) and Two way hub. Does charger works with hub?

[alantay]

Great video and advise. I don’t care for filters too. I use the drone for sports. Hence I don’t need cinematic drone video.

I don’t bike. I am a trail and on road runner. I am looking for a carrying case/harness to strap the RC unit and a few batteries on to my waist or back so that I can run hands free with the drone tracking me. I don’t like backpacks to store the RC unit for running. I don’t like to carry the RC in my hand while running.

I am looking for suggestions and accessories recommendations that are designed for runners to run hands free and not let the RC bump around in a case. Thanks.
