I Nearly Lost My Mavic Mini + Battery Concerns | DansTube.TV

1st

i remember your face when the wind caught the Mavic Mini when you went about the tree's. Its a great little drone and when flying it, it feels like a dji drone but as you have said you really have to be mindful of the wind and make sure you take that into account when flying it so you can safely return it to home.

What would you say max wind MPH at ground level?

Love the new set up on this! Colours are popping.

I got mine yesterday and, in the house, the noise from the props is significantly more when the prop guards are fitted. With the extra weight the props need to be pushing out more thrust. Even though the prop guard struts are very small they will act as a sail in the wind. The power drain with the prop guards on also means less flying time. Glad it wasn't damaged! I have a Mavic 2 Zoom also and that experience with all the extra sensors is different. I like the form of the mini and the ease of setup and being able to get it airborne quickly with minimal interface to get very good footage.

Mavic Mini i like it

Lucky you didn't lose it mate, but why did you use the prop guard cage outdoors? they always act as sails in the wind... i have never used prop guards ever since i been flying! Have a good weekend bud and all the best for Christmas and new year! 👍🍻

My Mini had full  wifi and gps signal and no wind, the RTH wouldn't work either, It wouldn't respond to the controls and drifted away for no reason, it flew away 1/4 mile away and crashed into the trees , the battery was at 45% when I loss her, I activated find my drone and for 30 minutes with 2 of us looking for her we couldn,t hear her until we almost stepped on it, very weak beeper, twice she would freeze up in the sky and does what she feels like and drifts away? I don't have any faith with the mini anymore.

You are flying in windy season what you expect for the battery?

Um hi Dan what low battery power reserve warning do you set ?

Disappointing drone at that price range. Does
not handle so well against the wind and the range sucks....the advertised specs
said you can fly this up to 4KM, you'll be lucky if you can get it up to 2KM.
Of course there are factors such as obstacles and wifi interference that needs
to be considered but you may get around it by flying at higher altitude which
this tiny toy drone is not capable of doing due to its size and weight (sucks
in high wind). For that price range I would turn to other drones that can fly
further and higher (with 3 axis gimbal and some offer much better camera
resolution).
