The video is amazing. Even on the windiest days the video is smooth and crisp. The RTH (Return To Home) feature is phenomenal and with the Mini 2 using OcuSync I’ve flown 8 miles away without losing signal. OcuSync is why I chose the Mini 2. With a wifi connection you can only venture out a mile or two. But if you travel too far and it loses connection it immediately returns home. It’s compact but not too small. It weighs 249g so just under the required weight to need a license (250g)
However, some states require you to certify online so check your state’s requirements for UAVs (Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles) or RPAs (Remotely Piloted Aircrafts). TRUST (The Recreational UAS Safety Test) can be done online for free.
I’ve had several drones and this one is hands down THE BEST I have owned. The aircraft and remote control were easy to set up and connect. My only tiny gripe would be the way the controller holds an iPhone which ends up right on the power button or volume buttons requiring the phone to be pushed way off to the side but that’s sooo minor compared to all the great things about this drone. The controller can be set up to charge your phone while using.
Suggestion: Pay attention to your battery consumption on the drone. Sport mode consumes more battery. Once I was flying at night and didn’t realize how far away it was. It had to do an emergency landing because it couldn’t make it back. The app gave me the map and directions to its exact location where I found my little guy in the middle of a field. Thank God!!
Wonderful app. Wonderful drone. Couldn’t be happier with this drone!! Still exploring all its possibilities!
