What if I switch the mavic mini 2 arms on the mavic mini , will it still fly? I have searched for it everywhere, but no results

"Emergency only" means, the motors turn off automatically when you hit something, but you can't turn them off yourself. You can only turn them off yourself when you selected "anytime" in the settings, which can be useful if you're flying near people or animals for example (I rather crash my drone than hurt someone). It's not weird, it makes perfect sense. 😅

Classic content right there. There are many who continue to check out those videos which blows my mind! My how to fly a drone video is still the #1 most viewed video on my channel every month, lol

The intersting test would have been to switch the CSC response to "anytime" then go up high, CSC it, and see if you could restart the motors as it fell i.e. halt the fall. Note 1, the restarting attempt MUST be made with a SECOND CSC i.e. release the first CSC let the sticks recentre and apply the SECOND CSC. If you just hold the motor stopping CSC the drone will NOT even try to restart. Note 2, if you succeeded in restarting the motors you might have to throttle up to halt the fall as the motors might restart at idle. There is some discussion of this in one or more threads on the Mavicpilots forum. The uncertainty surrounds whether the drone will, during free fall, remain level enough or perhaps pass through such a position slowly enough to permit another CSC to restart the motors. Excessive tilts during free fall may prevent the motors from starting. In "emergency only" mode it will descend in a helix under full control for as long as you hold the CSC position and, if you let it come down that far, it will even slow its descent as the ground comes within range of the downward looking sensors. Once you release the sticks it will hover. The following, from more than 1 year ago, is a low level CSC with motor stop, with a Mavic Mini, dropping into a blanket. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2Snw9qzZdjgl9o.html If I remember correctly the following, also 1 year + ago, is a good video dealing with a mid air CSC, kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4akz62te822ltY.html

Great video Carson! Very helpful. When I powered up my Mavic Air 2 for the very first time I forgot to take off the gimbal cover. I was thinking that I may have damaged the gimbal. Thankfully it still works, as you showed in your video. I haven't forgotten to remove it since, because I put a piece of blue painters tape on it and up to the power switch. Easy reminder that my gimbal cover is on and to remove tape and cover before flight.

It recognises an emergency if there is an error which pops on the app

Everything we wanted to know but were too afraid to try. Very informative (as usual) OMG that landing. Kinda dramatic tho-gotta give it that!!

I bought the Mavic Air 2. Never flew a drone before. Loving it now. These videos are amazingly helpful. Thanks Carson.

"Not touching the controller". Proceeds to instantly power up the controller when the drone doesn't return to home so now we don't know what would have happened. 🤦‍♂️

He Carson.... Interesting video. Answered visually some of the info I've read in the DJI Manuals (2 Pro & MA 2). Lost signal from the controller (i.e. - power loss), the drone waits approx. 11 seconds, before initiating and automatic RTH. As for the moving both joy sticks either in or out at the same time in an Emergency, going to guess it might have something to do with an immediate threat of collision if OAS is not functioning; or it might be a fly way situation. Post Script - Finally got to fly my MA 2 after 9 months of lock down. Did nothing crazy, just reacquaint my hand-eye co-ordination. Having flown my micro drone in the interim, certainly helped.

If you hit something the motors turn off automatically, that's what "emergency only" means. When you select "anytime", you additionally can turn them off yourself, for example right before hitting something.

It dectects an “emergency” by the data coming from the accelerometers and IMU. The flight controller will then cut power to the motors.

"if you're someone who hasn't heard of skillshare before". That was a joke, right? It's on every.freakin.video.

One thing I want to add about the emergency shutoff in emergency only mode is that when you start to do a manual take off but you don't take off (props spinning slowly) you can use that emergency shutoff to turn the props off. I have done this with a borrowed air 2 (am saving for a air2s). The reason was that i was about to film a car driving on private property and I didn't know if I needed to take off so I had the props spinning slowly so I could take off quickly

Ok so you have CSC set for anytime. Let's assume you are at 400ft (120m), and you shut down your drone. So now it's free falling, so now you attempt to start the motors again, I wonder what would happen especially if the drone was tumbling not just falling straight down

@uavpilot112

3 жыл бұрын

@@colbycarroll7746 Yes! The drone will execute a "lost link" procedure by default if it loses connection with the RC. And, you won't be able to do anything about it after that happens until the drone re-established link with controller. So, make sure you select the correct lost link procedure before takeoff! Never use "Return To Home" setting when taking off from a boat--the drone will come back and "land" in the water if boat has moved (after lost link or when battery drops to 10%). Remember, the drone only knows the GPS location to land--it cannot tell if it's land or water beneath it). Also, it will go straight up to RTH height you specified--which is good to avoid trees, buildings, and power lines. However, if it disconnects under tree branches, a bridge, tunnel, or roof--it will fly straight up and crash into them. However, if you are flying above the RTH altitude you set--the drone will not descend until landing.

0:40 I love the way you test gimbal strength by shaking the drones.

@carsonmtech

3 жыл бұрын

That’s great! I’m happy to have provided you with information you found valuable

Not seeing anyone mention this so I feel I need to. The “controller off” rth? Wasn’t hovering because it didn’t like the surface, that’s what it does. Hovers until the battery level drops to critical and performs a forced “low battery” landing. It’s a safety feature in case the rth wasn’t accurate and it might land somewhere you don’t want.

You need not worry about controller battery, it lasts around 6 drone batteries and dots are just indicator. If its really almost depleted you get notofication and beeping to land almost the same like when drone is empty

Thanks for trialing for all of us

I would like you to do an emergency landing at about 100ft and then propelled up again! After it hits like 60 ft of course.

Not sure this is the correct answer (haven't tried), but according to a post on the dji forums the drone detects an emergency as something out of the ordinary happening like bumping into something, tumbling out of the sky (i.e. propeller came off) or something the like. So the drone has to be in some kind of distress so to speak for the csc to work in emergency only mode. The answer was worded a bit unclear but that's what I took from it. So maybe put a propeller guard on, have someone bump the drone and try again.

My app did crash, twice... mini2.. and indeed, once the app was re-opened, everything was fine!

you said if someone calls you while flying your drone, should you only fly in airplane mode or should I ask can you fly in airplane mode or can you answer a call or text while flying?

OK first of all the DJI Mavic mini two or the Mavic mini it doesn’t have a sensor for the game of protector, so what it does is it the camera will keep re-calibrate recalibrating recalibrating until it just can’t re-calibrate no more so that’s why it’s sort of recalibrated right after you took it off Yeah I’ve done it with my finger like if you just hold the camera and if the access does doesn’t work then it’s going to keep doing this repeatedly until it works or I think there’s like a timer that like if the gimbal can’t re-calibrate it within a certain minute then it’s just gonna you know not recalibrate no more until you turn it back on

Thanks for making this! I just picked up the mini 2. This is really helpful

Emergency shutdown or activate the motors worked for me after I had a crash at the top of the tree and I used force motors on with control sticks to make the drone move on the top to bottom of the tree still the mavic pro drone survived though

Emergency only .. is when it tilts automaticly to the side like 85 degrees it shuts them motors off

Are the bottom sensors tied into Emergency Shutoff? Down low it lands, any altitude and the motors shut down?

Your videos have always been on what ifs scenarios that an amateur drone pilot can learn to avoid and enhance their flying experience secondary to taking photo tips. Have only flown my ma2 12x since purchased end of Sept but will fly again with better weather temps. The DJI air 2 has top sensors but don't have side. Autel Evo 2 still has an advantage except for the radio system that uses other protocol.

Ive flown my mini b4 and all of sudden remote controller disconnect.Shock indeed but it did return to home safely. Noted: b4 flying ALWAYS CHECK RTH POINT(its really helpful). And f u ever plan flying well quite far (probly bout 2km +) use 100% battery level.

Why do you keep switching controllers

First of all, I use the dji Phantom 3 standards drone .... when I see your video for the dji Phantom 3 standards tutorial ..

I am confused on what drone you are testing. The mini or the mini 2 I see two different controllers???

go higher than 300 feet and hold the emergency only for much longer

I had a serious crash. The drone flipped and ran upside down into the ground .... it was refusing to csc can we just have a kill switch, like old rc planes?

Informative video.keep it up

Don't want to be all negative nancy about it but i personally have had terrible experience doing the "grabbing out of the sky" manouvre.. First time, i had an ND Filter on.. The filter fell off and i only noticed after i had already stepped on it (kinda my fault though).. Another time i noticed the propeller screws going loose when performing that manouvre.. That's when i stopped doing it entirely and adopted a "screw check" into my pre-flight checklist.. It's also a massive stress on the propeller plastic itself which can cause micro fractures and/or hairline tears.. So yeah.. Idk, i wouldn't recommend anybody do that manouvre except for when it is completely unavoidable..

Thank you Carson for sacrificing your drones to test. Because I wouldn't! 😂

The main reason I changed it a couple of times through the video was to demonstrate that the scenarios tested apply to both the Mavic Mini & Mini 2 drones (as well as other DJI drones like I voiced in the beginning of the video). Additionally, I used the Mavic Mini in tests that I was more concerned for it getting damaged, whereas the Mini 2 was used in scenarios I wasn’t as concerned and I wanted the higher video quality. Hope this helps clear that up :). Thanks for watching!

I also switched when I flew away because I was not as worried about the drone being damaged as a result of the test.
