BEST DJI Mini 2 Accessories | Better Shots & Safer Flights 

GIVEAWAY! Giving away my Scotty Makes Stuff cases! They are nice hard cases, but I prefer using my backpack or messenger bag for storing my drone. Follow me on Instagram and leave a comment on this video to be entered to win! Will announce the winner in my next video! Thanks for watching!

Great tips, Keith. Thanks!

Good Job Keith !!

I really appreciate your comparison of the ND filters. I’ve heard reviews of both but it seems the reviewers were not doing a comparison but just talking about the one they bought and saying how great it is.

The strobe light and the antenna extender are a must.

Thankyou for sharing the links to the dudes shop.. his things are Awsome 🥳👍

Yea you just got my follow. Im new to this life and loving it so far.

Brilliant video. Thanks

Is there an accessory for the mini two that connects to the insta360 one x while flying?

Would be nice to know if the range extender helps with interference from trees and structures

I just bought one of these at a garage sale and man its so much fun!

Great video! Regarding range extenders on the Mini SE (no Occusinc), they work VERY well. I purchased a kit that came with both Yagi antennas like shown in the video, and parabolic reflectors. This kit is designed to use either/or, or at the same time. In testing them individually and together, I have learned a few things. I havnt seen much benefit in using both, but the Yagi's have proven their worth so far, and I use them every time I fly the SE. Because the Mini 2 uses Occusinc rather than enhanced wifi like the SE and Mavic Mini, it will have better connection in wifi congested areas, and probably no point in using them within LOS flights, unless the area has an exceptional amount of wifi interference.. But, with the enhanced wifi Mini's, the Yagi's drastically improve signal at LOS range in congested wifi areas, almost on par with Occusinc, as long as the antennas are pointed at the drone. As for range on my SE with the Yagi's, its great! I often fly out over the Pacific Ocean to get shots of marine wildlife, great white sharks, dolphins whales etc. I use a VERY powerful strobe that is visible to about a mile and a half in daytime, and 4 miles after sunset. I routinely fly out about a mile, maintaining LOS, searching for subjects, and havnt seen even a flicker of a lost signal using the Yagi's. The same distance at the same spot without them, I will get sporadic signal loss, especially when I turn the drone in different directions or fly below 50 feet. They simply work, and Im sure they will extend range on the Mini 2 as well, but Occusinc will already maintain connection farther than your battery will hold out in uncongested areas. However, they will improve the Mini 2 connection strength in very high interference areas around industrial areas and cities, with the only caveat being they have to be pointed right at the drone to be most effective. The bare wifi/Occusinc antennas radiate a 360 donut shaped signal in all directions, with the output being the strongest toward the flat front and rear of the antenna. The Yagi projects a narrow focused beam in one direction in addition to the donut shaped radiation. Parabolic reflector range extenders reflect the energy from the rearward half of the donut to the front, leaving a degraded dead spot behind and to the sides, with the signal radiated in a wide, more powerful beam in front. A parabolic behaves more like a shotgun providing a spread out beam, powerful at close range. A Yagi behaves more like a sniper rifle with a powerful focused beam with more penetrating power at a distance, but with the added benefit of retaining the original 360 degree donut shaped signal radiant. A good thing to have handy in the gear bag just in case.

Nice video I love my dji mini 2, it's my first real drone and have been practicingon my farm for a month .I also use the freewell all day filters they really do help since I don't have a laptop for post processing.

would you use any filters for drone photogrammetry mapping?

Impressed!!! When my first mini arrived, no problem. When my mm2 arrived I was sad until my friend "Justin/Just in time" sent me I pad pro 11. I always use my range extenders because it helps maintain a strong signal when often it will glitch otherwise. Huge difference with 60 hours 500+ miles... So Far

Thanks for the video Keith! I'm now following you on Instagram

Great review, I just start use mini2 . Thank You for . I learnt something.

i love it !!! Very nice vidéo :)

Just picked up a mini 2, I instantly learned I needed the tablet adapter, so I knew there must be other must haves also. Good video, I like the honest opinions of each item, and not implying that someone would need to go out and buy all of these right away, or ever.

Great Tipps! Cheers a lot from Switzerland 🇨🇭🙏🏼👏🏼☀️

“If you wanna go full dad mode” 💀😂 Appreciate the video! Just purchased my mini 2 so I’m excited to get out there.

Great video! thanks for sharing 👍new subscriber 🤙

my skyreat filters attach the same way these do and i never ever had a issue with them falling off they stay on snug at any speed

awesome accessories, I have some of those you showed, But I also use Lights and strobe light for my Mavic mini, because of the weight factor I don't put them on the mini 2.

The one other comment I would make about the range extender is. I've seen multiple reviews stating. It doesn't necessarily give you longer range. However, it does give you stronger signal when you get to 2 or 3 bars. To make sure that your video quality is still coming in very high. Just something I want to add thanks for the great video

ty thumbs up, new sub.

Concerning the range extender for the mini 2, you don't really need one with a drone that has occu-sync 2. Your drone will auto-return from low battery before you loose signal. They might be useful for punching through buildings in a city, or through trees in the forest.

Need a suggest, best backpack name tell me, like i can carry my camera, drone,laptop & accessories.

What is a good nd filter for videos?

First time I see your video haven't finished it yet still watching it and I can say that it has very good information, thank you for it.... only question that I have is if you where to purchase the Mavic air 2 and want every upgrade for it what would those upgrades be... oh can you use a 400gb sd card or 512gb?

nice video! greedings from Athens, Greece!

I got all 12 accessories, now my Mini 2 weighs 8 lbs! Jk, now I'll watch the video.

I use range extenders always on my Mavic 2 Pro and yes they really do work. I use to get break up about 1500ft away and now I can go about a mile out now which is nice. I always have my spotter when I am doing my distance runs for the recreational purposes. I am a Part 107 flier and use my drones for commercial purposes mainly but when I have to scout out 400+ Achors those ranges extenders are AMAZING!! Definitely worth the money. I've got the Mavic 2 Pro and the DJI Mini 2

After i used the scotty case my mini 2 said gimbal motor overloaded. I think the fine plastic dust in the case got stuck in the gimbal. Compressed air seemed to fix it but I'm going to blow & wash the case b4 using it again & also make a hole near the gimbal area of the case to see how it is positioned inside the case.

Great video , I do have a question regarding the landing gear I bought . I purchased the sled type landing gear , it won't come off without peeling the bottom plate . Is this an error ? How do I take it off without damaging the plate on the bottom ?

The Care is a must for the Mini due no obstacle avoidance system

Thanks for the nice tips👍. But when you use the lights then the weight of the drone exceeds 249 gramm does that have consequences ? Greetings from The Netherlands🌷

Does the landing pad fit in the Mini 2 Fly More Combo bag?

Hello keith, Does using motor cap cover for the mini 2 will effect its flying or increase the motor temperature?

The fact that you said to make sure to CHECK that your drone is compatible with your android device shows exactly why i subbed to your channel, i've got a mini 2.. 3 months ago my galaxy s9 USB port wasn't working....my drone did not work with any of the other mobile devices in my home...i had to go and buy a new xiaomi phone to be able to use this drone......which was WORTH the buy that phone is a beast...i like that you give heads up because sometimes you get so excited you won't even think lol...if i had saw this vid before my dji mini 2 purchase i would've avoided that...

None needed. Works perfectly out of the box.

I would recommend Peter McKinnons bag, it's still in development but it's really the best for a serious photographer :)

What accessory should I buy to be able to fly my drone indoors without losing signal and not becoming unstable? I have the DJI Mini 2

Missing tablet holder: $8 comes with USB C to A short cord, rock solid on my huge Galaxy S4 TAB. Didn't say the weight of the strobe, I have one that clips on the bottom of the MM2 and can be seen from a mile in sun light, no crap sticking on the MM2 body.

Please I want to be sure The DJI Mini 2 drone provides a maximum flight range of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) under optimal conditions, allowing for a round-trip distance of up to 5 kilometers. Please correct me if I'm mistaken*. CALCULATING IT LIKE THIS: 5KM GOING AND 5KM BACK?

Happy new years

There's another youtube guy in Hawaii who does range tests, and with clear-ish line of sight, he flew his mini2 three miles away and still had control as well as near perfect video communication back to the phone. Perhaps the range extender is helpful if you have obstacles between you and the drone...?

Have not forgot the SD Card But for got to push the record Button half way though a flight ! 34 deg fight

All sounds good but my camera shakes when I put the filter on no matter what I do

Hey quick comment, the mini 2 has no internal storage, however, can't you use your devices storage to record if your sd card gets filled up?

The link to Amazon to purchase the tablet holder is inaccurate. It points me to a product that does not fit the DJI Mini 2. The product it directs you to is for the Mavic Air 2. As a result I am not returning it to Amazon. Please fix.

Great video I think you missed something like, silicone case for remote and drone wrap/skin

Where can i buy gun attachment for my mini 2 For research purposes ofcourse

Thank for the vid. The strobe has to be visible for 3 statue miles I think I will pick up the Scott case not worth making a Instagram account for many many reasons but I digress Thanks again for the info

Is there an umbrella for the mini2?? I live in North Spain (Bilbao)

just got my mini 2 and was flying about 400m out and it said connection to rc lost and i freaked out i wasn't sure if it was my phone signal or the drone itself...i started to move closer to the area and it finally reconnected but it was scary. it's my first drone so i was worried. I wonder if the range extender would be good in my case...i have seen videos of ppl flying over 3000m so i was so confused why i lost connection. anyway, cool video i definitely think I'll be picking up a strobe light haha

Where can I get the strapped to keep propeller put in place ?

got a question for u sir, whenever i go to record in 4k from the second i push the record button the screen freezes until im done recording then it goes back to live view with no issues. It still records and saves in to my sd, i just cant view what i recorded until i put the sd card into my laptop, If i shoot in 2.7 it works fine. Not until i choose 4k to record, thats when i go to hit the record button it freezes until im done recording. I use a samsung galaxy a53. If u can give me any tips to fix this issue, that would be awesome. I have called dji customer support, and they were USELESS. All they told me to do was uninstall the app and reinstall it. Clearly it didnt work lol. So if u need anymore information from me, just hmu, thank u so much.

I just ordered my mini 2, all savings for my 15 yo self just went out da window haha, can’t wait

Literally laughed out loud at "full dad mode" with that belt clip

That hard case would be wonderfull if you don't have the fly more pack

You know I love my d j I mini 2 se. But what I really want is a bright r c plane

Hey hoss might want to be more diligent about CC good thing I'm not deff bc I'd be incredibly confused.

Cool I don’t need them because I 3d printed my own lol😂

Used the range extenders with my Mini 1 they are worth it. Farthest flight 10,280 feet at an altitude of 135 feet versus 3680 without extenders

the mini 2 i have has broken a motor arm twice in the 3 weeks i have owned it amd thats with out crashing . Not very durable.

Be nice to see all those acces. Actually in use

I highly disagree out of that whole kit only two are usable. Correct me if I'm wrong

I've never managed or seen the mini 2 land exactly on the landing pad.

Is there an acessory to shoot down birds in the sky?

My friend told me to catch his drone and i was kinda scared that the propeller were gonna eat my fingers so he catches it him self yeah i know you supposed to catch it on the bottom

What’s the name of country & city on 12:18 🥺❤️

Nd filters and camera sunshield are MUST (sd cards, batteries and backpack are not even accessory 😅) Nd filter for cinematic blur, sunshield to minimise lans flare and to protect gimbal if crashed. Nothing else matters

You did say Freewell

The prop holger for the mini 1 is a rubberband....lol

Prop guards?

16:28 ‘hand catch your drone’ should have 2 prices- $0 for proper hand-land, ~$600 for the ‘doc in a box’ bill for getting fingers cut :) I’f folks are gonna ‘catch’ their drone I’d recommend slipping a glove on first. And yes I’ve hand-landed my mini-2.

Just purchased a Mini 2 and this is the first valuable video I've seen for accessories, thanks! Just copped those ND filters online

The landing gear that snaps on and don't fold in will break the bottom of the drone off when trying to take the landing gear off.

It’s my first time seeing this channel and he sounds like VAT19 from the over-voice

Landing gear is my only add on for my Mini 2's. They don't need anything else...

I'm a fpv pilot but no nothing about cameras.... need watch nd filter vid

What about prop guards to fly the drone?

I took mine up and almost got blown out of the sky. MY VIDEO WAS SCARY on New Years 2021

You don't need an Iphone to use DJI drones. The fly app is fully supported for android.

Black sweatshirt not a good backdrop for dark products in dark room.

Alien tech. It's actually a range booster a signal booster

Range is fine .. 3 miles more than enough

This video would have benefited from some b-roll of the products in use. Good recommendations otherwise

People need to remember FAA calls for LINE OF SIGHT and max 400 ft....maybe you need to say this....to ensure people understand this.

great, but... you got a range ext to test but you didn't really test it before making this vid? You owe us a new video 😊

Good. I wait for love from you 💝💖

Got my Scotty's cases today. The drone holster does not fit and therefore you can't close that latch. The battery case latch won't and the battery pullers don't. The remote case barely fits. Empty it closes easy with the remote it's a squeeze down to latch. Not recommended since it costs around $70 to return. $110 wasted. Sigh. To their credit they replied to my email. "Sorry to hear you're unhappy with your order. The drone case is easy to help you with. It's been designed to be used without the gimbal protector as the props and the case do the protecting." Dunno if I like the gimble exposed but it does look like it is protected in the case. Sent them a vid of the battery charger cover issue.

Nd filters are not cheap☹️

Do you realize that what you said about the range extenders, you said everything THREE times? 😐

FYI. DJI operating systems are based on Android, Not IOS..Android users out number Apple heads 8 to 1..so yeah...

Don’t buy yagi it’s not even a yagi Uda antenna and does nothing other than add a placebo effect

I don‘t like the trend of youtubers repeating things over and over again just to extend the length of their videos. The content is okay, nothing new if you follow similar channels, but could have been said in less than half the time.

Prop holder folks is a RIP.......meaning dont waist your money on that ridiculous price point to protect your propellers. I use clear plastic small bag for the drone an then I pull the plastic tight around the drone by spinning the plastic bag end before sliding it in my case and then in my bag. Bag costs 26 cents

Who actually needs beginners flying lessons for a Mavic mini??
