Many mistakes were done... I had similar situation, flying too far out over the water, but managed to come back. Here are few tips: - Turn off recording (will preserve battery) - Turn off RTH (fly manually without increasing altitude) - Point camera straight, not down (will help with aerodynamics) - Turn on Sport mode (will be flying faster) - Fly at low altitudes (less wind = less resistance = less battery used) - Fly to nearest land and pickup drone from there using the GPS coordianates

And to add - flying over water / the ocean, you will ALWAYS have the wind blowing much harder one direction than the other. If the wind is at your back when you are heading out to sea, always remember it will be at your FRONT on the way home and MUCH harder for the drone to fly back. You MAY use 50% battery getting from point A to B, but B to A will end up requiring closer to 70% remaining battery to fight the wind as well as the distance.

Battery efficiency is worse when you drain higher current from it in S mode. Unless you must fight strong wind it is better to fly in P and take longer to return. You want it to come back. Not come fast but not make it. How efficiently you can propel forward with available juice left is what determines the distance you can travel. Agree with the rest of the tips.

Thanks for the tip! I'd have said just turn off recording mode and don't fly so much into the water without the chance off getting it out of there. I've seen floating devices for DJI , so it can stay afloat. But I have zero experience and I am looking and learning from the mistakes of others. (Sorry SonicDrone) And sorry for the loss....of the drone.

Two mistakes: you were in “normal” mode, as soon as you realized there might be an issue, you should have switched to sports mode, probably around the 60% mark. Secondly, get that drone down! You always have a better chance of avoiding winds closer to the ground, you should have been about 30m off the water

It was just plain stupid. You can continue to push it even with forced landing mode. You can also make it hold altitude by pushing left stick up. He should have drop the altitude to avoid strong winds, continue to push it back manually and not let land. It can still go for about 1 km after 0% battery. Instead he was just looking at it going down, not doing anything... well, thats why you first learn how to fly and learn how to handle emergency. If everything done right from the moment of RTH start i think there was a good chance of getting it back.

Tips for other pilots. If the drone is returning to home you can still control its altitude so the solution for this is to lower the altitude of the drone because the lower the altitude the slower the wind speed.

Sorry to hear you lost it - I broke the front right leg on my first day, and learnt the hard way too, but not as hard as losing it for good. Hope you can recover and get another to start flying again. Best of luck and thanks for sharing, this takes courage 👍

So, here was my first thought. When you first realized that the headwind coming back was going to make it tough to get all the way back, I noticed that there were cargo ships coming in to port. Could you just land on an incoming ship, let the drone rest until the ship was close to shore, then take off again to get on land?

My condolences, but my brother, totally responsibility of the pilot what happened. Too many mistakes together that over drained the battery. Headwind return, active digital zoom, recording in progress, gymbal movements, all that consumes battery, also, you kept the same altitude all the time, instead of gradually descending as the drone returned, and at the same time. In the end the most serious thing, when it was fighting in its last breath, I perceive that you panicked and instead of continuing the drone movement forward and lowering altitude, what you did was go up more. Poor Mini fought enough to live

Really sorry you lost your Mini 2!! BUT you made some critical errors that hopefully you'll learn from! 1st- You over estimated the capability of your drone. 2nd- You're flying way too high at 120m the wind is a lot stronger than at sea level, this reduces your speed and drains your battery quickly!! You hardly got 15 nins flight time before you hit critical battery! 3rd- ALWAYS fly into the wind on long distance flights, that way you have the wind helping you back when you're battery is low. I noticed you were hitting 10m/s going out but hardly hitting 6.9-7.9m/s coming home, sometimes as low as 6m/s, so you were flying into a strong wind coming back!😮 4th When you hit critical battery at 5% it starts to auto land BUT you can continue flying, pitch forward and keep your altitude steady with the other stick, that way you can continue flying to 0% I think you might have made it just if you did that! If you had cancelled RTH hit sport mode and reduced your altitude to 35m you would have easily made it with 20% battery spare!👍😎 One thing I have noticed about the Mini 2 Lipo battery is once it hits 20% the battery drains a lot quicker than my Mavic Mini Lithium ion battery!! I get around 21 mins 30 seconds flight time from 100% to the beeping low battery warning at 20%, I fly around 30-40m altitude max above that it can be very windy even on a calm day!

@@RoyTheKing241 Sport mode does use more power, so will drain your battery slightly quicker! BUT the main point here is the altitude, wind speed at 120m is going to be far more than say dropping down to 35m above sea level. Wind speed also impacts battery life, look how little total flight time this was 15 mins down to critical battery!! So dropping altitude on the return journey in conjunction with sport mode, I think he would have made it! You can see the speed in m/s was greatly reduced on the return journey so he was flying into a strong headwind. For maximum battery efficiency, you really want the wind helping you fly home because the last 50% battery will drain a lot quicker than the first 50% of a lipo!! 👍😎

I know it’s been a year ago but I just saw your video and wanted to drop a comment. I’m really sorry that you lost your drone. 😢 I did have similar situation, but luckily I did manage to reach the shore in the last seconds. But because of that I know exactly how you felt when you saw this forced landing alert. Hands shaking, heart beating faster than you think is possible and the feeling of panic. I flew like 2 km away from the shore and when started RTH I had 60% battery so I thought there won’t be any problems (considering it only took 20% to reach that point). But the wind did its thing and my drone started forced landing procedure 500 meters away from the shore. In panic I was trying to cancel it so it took me like 2 minutes before I realised I can still control the drone (I knew that obviously, I read the manual, but in such situations you just forget everything) so I managed to reach the shore literally 10 seconds before it was too late but the drone landed 400 meters from the place where I was. I remember running to find it hoping it really landed on the beach not in the water. I used find my drone feature and found my little mini 2. But there was a moment I thought I would have to go back home without it, knowing it drowned in the sea and it was a horrible feeling considering the fact that I had it for like 2 weeks at that time. That’s why I know exactly how you felt and I’m so sorry that you lost your mini 2. Thank you for sharing this video.

I’m sending lots of fellow drone pilot support, hope you’re doing well and that you won’t quit flying. 🙂

Your welcome, by reading all the comments you will learn a lot..Go FLY high.. welcome to the family of drone😊👍

Possible alternatives to save your drone: -have landed on the island that you had on your right side when you returned. At least you would have had a chance to go on a boat. Put it in Sport mode and have tried to return as quickly as possible to a lower altitude. Although I do not know how effective this option would have been due to the battery consumption in this mode. You learn from mistakes and although it is very painful to lose a drone, many things have to be put into practice. Greetings and thanks for sharing your experience.

Sorry for your loss. Flying out with a tailwind, and home into a headwind is a killer.

The ship's bows pointing to shore was a clue: the wind was blowing out to sea. It was always going to take longer to return than to go out.

So gutted for you. I flew mine over the sea yesterday but didn’t dare got out too far

Why you didn’t push it to continue going back? Even in critical low battery levels you can still increase the speed! And better to put it in sports mode on the way back. Anyway sorry for your loss

Such a shame , when you we're coming back I would have lowered the altitude a lot because you were fighting the wind all the way , you may have been able to get back and I don't know if you know, when in return to home push the stick forward to increase speed . I know it's easy giving advice after the crash but I hope you can get another drone and fly again 👍

I did some tests with my Mini 2. In sports mode, the drone can continue flying for almost 2-minutes after the battery reaches 0%, if you over-ride the forced-landing. The down-side is that it just falls out of the sky instead trying to land once it's out of juice.

Thank you for sharing your experience, it helps me alot to be a better drone pilot,appreciate it ken👍🏼

Facing the wind in order to have a push on the way back is the key. You were about 10km/h slower on your way back, which is a distance of like 1.6 km during a 10 minutes of a RTH. But also, the battery would last much longer with the wind on the back; less electrical power needed for a same given speed. I think an altitude of 10m on the way back could have saved it since it's also much more weak near the surface. Damn it sucks man, sorry :/ edit: wow I'm an idiot, I should have read the comments before typing this, it was all said already hahah ... but knowing that 10km/h for 10 mins is almost 2km on the way back won't hurt :P

Would a solar powered drone stop the battery issue with all these commercial & private drones?

😭 it got some good footage. salute mini2. thanks for posting, will help others..the mini 2 feels wind easily

put your drone into sport mode and keep pushing forward/upward to ignore the first auto landing. It can go really far even at 0% Battery

Range test, over water with high wind for the drone to fight all the way back. recipe for disaster. if you're doing a range test, make sure the wind is with the drone on the way back.

I learned that apart from range & altitude, I needed to have a full sense of wind direction and speeds at various altitude.. fly into (against) the wind and you'll have far better chance of returning home. Fly with it and a lot of times, I would need to go into sports mode upon return, lowering altitude immediately, perform diving to close distances, emergency landing procedures, etc.. There were an island and incoming cruise ships you could have landed on. Droning is very technical. Best to arrive on site and expect not to fly.. until all the take off checks are done. Sometimes it's a case of Flychopath vs garden-variety Psychopaths with extreme delusions of control soiling the 4K bandwidth. Technical sides, I had battery installation errors after a tiny grain of sand got into the contacts.. good to have a toothbrush handy.
