As Christians we may not envy those that are fortunate enough to own the Air 3. Lol.. But hey, the Mini 2 is more than enough for most people's needs. Channels like yours is still around which keeps us regular Mini 2 flyers still in mind on RU-vid.
lol, you're 100% right, Kevin... Honestly the Air 3 is too much drone for me... Imagine the amount of devastation I could employ with a drone like that??? I think the only drone right now I'd consider upgrading to is the Mini 4 when it comes out but I'd still be flying with Jack and Rose a lot. No way I could just put them up for good. Mini 2 for life!!! lol
@@WeretheRoberts I agree.. And the laws around bigger Drones are just too strict, especially here in Europe. Insurance for one is mandatory. They just so expensive as well! Some people own each Drone dji releases. Lol.
Holy crap! Insurance is mandatory? That’s crazy. Oh and some people obviously have too much money. Lol. It would be cool to be able to afford all of DJI drones wouldn’t it? Lol. If I could afford that I would probably buy Wife a new car instead. Hahaha.
Very cool, Ralph! Thanks for watching and commenting, buddy. Hope it keeps working for you. Lol. I’ve not had any issues so far either so I’m sure it’ll be ok. Not sure when another update will be coming out but I think they have things dialed in for now. God bless and thanks again for watching. Kevin
oh wow, that's awesome, Tony! You'll be amazed how dependable these Mini 2 drones can be. They're a lot of fun and keep the pucker factor up from time to time... Keeps it interesting... lol Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, man... Keep us updated on your experiences with your new drone. Have you thought of a name yet? lol
Awesome!! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. We really appreciate the support and kind words. God bless!!! Mini 2 for life!!! lol
Very cool! Thanks for watching as always, brother... God bless you guys as well. The lady in the blue car almost made me move somewhere else... I'm glad there was more room there... lol
Great video again Kevin! The location looks awesome. Saw it earlier in one of your video's. The bridge on the background looks awesome too. You've got enough awesome locations to fly around with the drone. 😎
Thanks, Barry!!! This is definitely one of my favorite places to fly. I grew up around here and my dad and I used to go fishing at the dam when I was younger. Lots of great memories here for sure. It's even more fun to fly around than the beach!!! lol I think you have some nicer places to fly than we do though, no question... :)
Heck yea, Joe! This is one of my favorite places to fly for sure. I grew up around this area and my dad and I used to go fishing at the dam pretty often. Great memories and it's even cooler to see it from up high... Thanks for watching and commenting, brother! God bless. Kevin
Lol...Thanks for the shout out!! I think you're a great editor then😂 You hide stuff well lol. Great video as always, you're one of my favorites to watch. You show the important stuff and make it very entertaining as well. Take care!
Hahahaha. I’m the king of editing shenanigans. Lol. That’s hilarious man. Thanks as always for watching and for your humor. Not everyone understands our sense of humor here. Lol. I’m glad our problems are entertaining by the way. 😂
@@WeretheRoberts Humor is what gets me through the day! Laughter is the best medicine. Yeah watching Jack and Rose do all crazy things is cheap entertainment! 🤣🤣
Hahahaha. No idea, brother. Can’t afford it either. Lol. I’d love to have one of the bigger drones to eventually start a drone business when I retire. Maybe that’ll be on the retirement gift list, eh? Lol.
Awesome!!! Thanks, Brock. That means a lot to us, brother. We were fortunate this week that nothing bad happened. We got all of that out of the way last week. hahaha!!!!
What's New - Adds Support for DJI Air 3 - Supports adding frames to photos using in-app editor - A reason for Kevin to do another video - Same annoying voice v2.0 What's Fixed - Removed Canopy so the guy that crashes drones at the top of slides and in trees doesn't have any obstacles - Added Windshield deflector for small rocks. If deflector fails, auto call "Safelite" before small crack repair turns into Windshield replacement. Anticipated for future episodes - Remote land and take off test revisited Epic 😜
hahahaha!!!! Man, this was funny. "A reason for Kevin to do another video" is absolutely right. I need all the help I can get with video ideas now a days... I guarantee, too the canopy was removed with me in mind. I knew they were watching me last time I was up here. The Safelite appointment has been postponed until Thursday now because they had trouble getting the "part" delivered. Not sure which part they're talking about but it'll work out. The crack can't get any worse! hahaha So your remote land and take off test revisited is on the list for sure. Great topic, man.
hahahaha!!! Oh, I've tried to get the courage up to do that. My main issue with it though, is I'm not sure if it's legal and I have no idea if they have any sort of support or guy wires running between those columns. With my luck, I'd hit a wire and the drone would go down, then they'd track me down and arrest me... lol Oh, and Kristi said no!!! hahahahaha
Enjoyed the update review with you and Rose Kevin! No sir, I can’t afford the Air 2 either! 🤑🤑 But my urge to update from the Mini 2 to the Mini 3 Pro is growing stronger!
lol. I totally understand the urge to update to the Mini 3. I had that urge even before it was released and it's been out over a year! Would you consider the Mini 4 when it comes out? Kristi actually said we can consider it, so keep your fingers crossed. Of course I would still be flying the Mini 2 and making videos with Rose and Jack. No way I could just put them in the box and forget them eh? lol Thanks for watching, brother. Hopefully Kristi will be joining me up here soon and make another cameo appearance... hahaha God bless and thanks for watching!!! Kevin
I’m not sure if anything about the Mini 4 is true but rumor is they’re working on it. I can only imagine how expensive it’ll be but I really can’t think of anything they could do to improve on the 3 pro. Maybe a better camera or more sensors? Maybe occusync 4 so the new controller they released with the Air 3 is compatible? No idea but either way, they best part is Kristi said we can consider it. Lol.
@@WeretheRoberts Kristi's approval for considering it is a big plus Kevin! I think the Mini 3 Pro is a huge upgrade from the Mini 2 and don't know how it could be any better in a Mini 4, but the improvements you mentioned would be likely.
Hey,been watching your channel for good few months now and have enjoyed it but I've always wondered why you have rose and jack? They are both mini2's aren't they? I've a mini 2 and love the little thing,no interest to upgrade.
oh wow, that's awesome!!! It means the world to us when we hear someone enjoys our stuff... You're right about Jack and Rose both being Mini 2 drones. We started out with Jack and were so impressed with him that we bought Rose as a backup in case something bad happened (we don't have care/refresh). Ultimately Rose became the update queen of the family so we use her on all the update videos so we can keep Jack set on his older firmware and fly app versions. He's been using the 1.4.8 fly app and the 1.03.0000 firmware since 2021 or whenever they came out and has never had any major problems with those versions. They seem to work really well together, plus the 1.4.8 has the old voice.. hahaha Thanks for watching and commenting, brother.. God bless!!! Kevin
hahahaha.. I remember that joke. That video didn't do to well, but at least I know who watched it, eh? lol I wish DJI would reconsider the voice, man. I miss my old Martha...
Thanks for this video,much appreciated. I did not update my mini 2 and air 2s,i skipped the last few updates because i really dislike ‘the new voice’. So far everything is still working fine without these last fly app updates 😅👍🏻
Thanks for watching, Mark!!! I agree with your decision on not updating. If it still works, why take the chance in messing with it, right? And the voice is totally a deal breaker... 100% lol
Last I heard the Mini 2 wasn’t on the list for the remote ID firmware update. Looks like we’ll have to get the module when one becomes available. Boooooo!!!! Lol
That's a good idea, Trevin. I do have the Maven app on my phone so I may be able to try this.. I've never flown with that app yet (laziness) but from what I've seen it's not so difficult to figure out. I've had the Maven app for probably over a year and honestly forgot about it... lol
Just curious after updating the software did you lose the functionality of tracking flight time? After I updated the software it no long logs the flight time for the Mini 2 or the air 3.
Hey, Greg! No, I can't say I've had any problems with the logs since updating Rose to the newest firmware and fly app version. I've not heard of anyone else saying that either. Are you using Android or iOS and I wonder if that makes any difference. We are using iOS (iPHone 13).
I just watched two video's on how two separate people put a 8oz glass of water on top of their drones and set them out 100 ft and hit RTH. They came back with the glass still filled with water on top of the drone. I wonder if this was real or fake. Could you please test this out with Jack or Rose. Thanks Chuck.
Hahahaha. That sounds like an interesting experiment. Do you think the videos were legit or fake? I looked for them and the only thing that would come up when I searched was underwater drones. Lol. I would really like to try that though so I’ll put it on the list for sure. Any chance you could find it and send me a link?
@@WeretheRoberts Hi Kevin, I'm kind of stupid.I don't know how to send a link. I found these two titled: DJI Mavic Pro carries water and returns home by itself. The other one was titled: DJI Air 2s carries water and returns home by itself. Both on RU-vid. Hope this helps. Good Luck. Chuck.
@@WAXMAN1913 hahahaha!!! Not stupid brother. You’re like me. We didn’t grow up with computers, right? Lol. I watched those videos by the way. That’s funny. It may make for an interesting experiment. It’s definitely on the list now. :)
I'm scared to do any updates every time they come out with one now because I'm afraid they are going to mess with my settings I did not have them screenshotted before and they messed with them I like to never got them back like I like them 😎☕
I understand that 100%, brother... I was worried about the same thing so I made a special note in my phone with them all listed out... It was so much easier when it was just called "advanced gimbal settings" lol... I don't really like how they change things that don't need changed just for the sake of changing... Like the voice? really??? hahaha Thanks for watching again as always, and God bless!!! Kevin
Praise God for editing, and yep "how things work out like that". I need to check her voice. Just d/loaded the update a couple of days ago here. Trusting you get the windscreen replaced ok. Take care, and watch out for blue cars and big trucks. Oh and big rocks. We don't want you tripping over any while keeping your drones insight; at the same time as watching the screen. PS if I said the name Marty Feldman would you know who I'm talking about?. He wold have been a perfect drone pilot.
lol, yes, editing is our best friend sometimes... hahaha I sure wish DJI would listen to us about her voice, man. I'm not sure how many times I've heard someone say they don't like her new voice.. lol Oh, the windscreen replacement has been postponed until Thursday. They had trouble finding the right parts.. story of our life... lol I normally sit while I fly because like you said, "big rocks". Young Frankenstein? oh yea.. He had to have 20/20 vision, right? I didn't see Hendrick's interview with Gavin and I do watch Ian. I got my gain and expo settings from Ian because I couldn't figure them out on my own... hahaha
hahahaha... Rose may wish sometimes she is Jack but lately Jack's been giving me fits. I have to use Rose for the update videos so I can use the most updated firmware version with the most updated fly app version. Jack still has firmware from 2021 lol... Good to see you on here, Ron!!! God bless, buddy. Hope you're staying dry up there. :)
hahaha... I'm beginning to feel sorry for Jack. I wonder what drone years is compared to human years. Jack is 3 years old now so I'm thinking that's like 85 in human years, right? He may be getting a little tired.
hahahaha!!!! That's a good one, Steve... I wonder if she just showed up to watch the show? lol No kidding, as soon as I got everything packed up, she backed out... That was pretty funny...
So you went down an did the Damn test Dammit Kevin - what did I say about doing these damn Tests! No, seriously... what did I say? My memory is for crap. Also, my menory is for crap. My memory is -shit- shot, dammit. At least the damn thing flew, and nobody lost a prop. Or took an eye out. Triva corner: A jury of 1,500 film artists, critics, & historians chose "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn", spoken by Clark Gable as Rhett Butler in the 1939 American Civil War epic Gone with the Wind, as the most memorable American movie quotation of all time. They obviously hadn't heard some of Kevins zingers. Damn fools.😮
hahaha... I wonder if Jack would've taken an eye out or lost a prop during this test. I do remember that Clark Gable line but I wasn't allowed to watch such movies as a kid due to the lack of manners and cursing. I got all of my jokes and one liners from my dad... hahahahaha
@WeretheRoberts Didn't we all? My father loved the 3 Stooges, and deeply moving poems like "One smart fellow, he felt smart, 2 smart fellows THEY felt smart, 3 smart fellows, they ALL felt smart. -you have to say it as fast! And: "Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords abd shot the other. A deaf policeman outside hearing the noise, ran inside and shot the two dead Boyd. A man of great sophistication. 👍
hahaha... no, man she's still putting up with me... She made a cameo appearance a few videos ago riding a tractor at our buddy's house... lol She's just got some other stuff to focus on at the moment so I sort of took over the channel. I do know I'd rather have her in the videos, too!!! lol
