RIIMUHIR DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo – Ultralight Foldable Drone, 3-Axis Gimbal with 4K Camera, 12MP Photos, 31 Mins Flight Time, OcuSync 2.0 10km HD Video Transmission, QuickShots, Gray

Great value! So happy with my purchase. Thanks

This is my review after 4hrs of use over 2 days. Got quoted over $1200 for aerial photography. Figured I would buy this and try it out and worse case scenario sell it for $100 less used. Quick conclusion - it is awesome! Hardware: Fit and finish of everything is fantastic although the electric motors are fully exposed with no dust caps but not sure if a long term issue. Controller pairs perfectly to my old iPhone 6S and old tablets too. Using an iPad as a screen makes flying even better although balancing the larger tablet means you need to be sitting down. Impressed that kit includes cables for attaching to miniUSB, lightning and USB-C. 3 batteries are a must and the nice thing is if you start charging immediately after draining your first battery you can get to about 75% charge on it by the time you have drained your 3rd battery (you can charge using the 3 battery charger by attaching to a external battery bank - I have a $20 20000mAH one from Costco that works). Usage: I have been playing video games for more than 40 years so the controller is very intuitive EXCEPT the wheel to control pitch of the camera gimbal. This stupid wheel is REVERSED. Down should always be push while up is pull. In this case the you pull the wheel to the left to go down and it is totally unnatural and I constantly screw up my videos. Extra frustrating because you can totally customize the 2 joysticks in the Fly app but they do not offer an option for the pitch of the gimbal. That aside, it flies awesome. Takeoff is automatic, you just press and hold the takeoff button on your screen. Landing you just hold the control stick down. You have 3 flying modes (cine, normal, sport) and you can customize them all (except gimbal pitch!) in the DJI fly app. Use normal to fly around to location (sport seems to eat batteries way faster) then switch to cine to film. It holds up to wind surprisingly well for only being 250g - it was blowing pretty good and other than reduced battery life I saw no movement. I have seen some online videos with problems flying low over water so I have avoided doing that. Camera/video is fantastic. I shoot with a 7dmkii and Olympus E-M5 II both with excellent lenses and this drone is very comparable. The stabilization and 4k video is amazing. The auto settings are very good but you can also have manual control for white balance, iso and shutter speeds. You can shoot your photos in JPG or RAW+JPG. Video however has no options for d-log or other codecs. Attached is a photo that is a JPG with no post-processing. In conclusion: Battery life is as published, around 30 min each. Drone is super stable and easy to fly. If you avoid running into things I do not see how you can crash it. Photo and video are fantastic. DJI fly app is robust, crash free however missing some options that would take the experience from 4* to 5*+. Recommended accessories: Sunshade - am trialing some will respond back. Not a huge problem but when shooting certain angles during sunset and sunrise there is some flare. ND filters - apparently for smoothest video you want shutter speed at 2x your frame rate. For 30 FPS you want 1/60. To do this with the f2.8 lens you need ND filters. Am trialing some and will respond back on the actual experience. Longer connection cable for using with tablets. Am trialing some will respond back Landing pad. I just bought a $6.99 24" folding photography reflector. Unfold and toss on the ground and use that to takeoff and land from to avoid grass, dirt, ect. Works great and way cheaper. You will want a high speed microSD card as 4k video needs FAST. With 3 batteries you will want at least a 32Gb card but 64Gb would be better. Cons: The electric motors are fully exposed with no dust caps. Not sure if dust, condensation, ect will become an issue. I have seen aftermarket aluminum covers that look great but would void warranty. Think it would have been good to have these installed as base. DJI fly app seems a bit crippled to try and force upgrade to more expensive models. It is good but could be better. I do not want a larger drone as above 250g in Canada there are much more restrictions and a need to obtain a license. I hope to wait for SDK release and hope another developer offers improvements like Litchi or others. Wishlist: 1) Ability to program photography/video by waypoints. Looks like was purposely left out from the DJI fly app to encourage to upgrade to more expensive models however I specifically want to stay under 250g to avoid getting a license. I would love to be able to program waypoints, speed, camera angle, height, ect then press run to let the drone fly. No reason the app can not do this as the quickshots show what can be possible. The computer can fly way smoother than my fingers so please let us do that! 2) Ariel stitching of photos. There are "quickshots" in the app that already do this for panno, sphere, ect. You can specify a focus point on the map and the drone performs the quickshots based on that focus point. Would be awesome to draw out a large scale focus point on the map, a desired elevation of the drone then have the drone fly and take photos in a grid to then stitch together for a large overhead landscape photo. 3) Wish they offered bulk purchases of extra batteries. 4) The gimbal pitch wheel should be push (right) for down and pull (left) for up. At a minimum the app should allow you to customize this like you can for the joysticks. Edit: A year later I still love this thing. I would STRONGLY suggest for new users to buy the add on loss protection warranty. YOU WILL run into trees and the like. I have hit trees a couple times when I was not fully aware of my camera angle and once a clothesline I did not see). I was also flying it in winter at -20 celcius and then there were high winds that I could not get back to my location and the battery died before I could fully locate (be sure during winter to aim to be back at your home point with 10 min battery life remaining.) Fortunately I had a photo just before loosing contact that I was able to roughly orient and I found it 500m away on top of the snow - phew. It is durable and despite being scratched the rotor blades are still working. I have broken one of the legs from a fall but it still works. So surprisingly durable. Save at least 10min battery life during winter. Consider getting the add on insurance.

Excelente dron, muy fácil de usar y con gran calidad de imagen en 4K. Es estable, portátil y el combo vale mucho la pena por las baterías extra. Muy recomendable

This drone is great for beginners. It very easy to fly and the camera result is amazing. Recommended

Ele é SENSACIONAL. Comprei de presente para o meu marido e é incrível. Tudo super compacto, as baterias duram 30min cada mais ou menos. Ele é super rápido e pequeno, as imagens são em 4k, já fizemos imagens tops! Chegou super rápido e o produto já é homologado que era uma dúvida nossa. Recomendo a compra.
