DJI Mini 2 SE at Dedication Point at the Snake River Canyon

I have been wanting to fly the little DJI Mini 2 SE at Dedication Point at the Snake River Canyon for a while now. The little drone did not disappoint. The drone gave us a good look at Swan Falls Dam in the distance. I flew it down low into the canyon to get a good look at the Snake River.

    Thanks Marcus for another great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I have had the same drone for a few months and love it. Mine did the same garbled FPV on my last flight, but the video recorded on the micro SD card was perfect. Some other KZreadrs have shown the same issue, but it goes away if you stop and restart recording while in-flight. Mine hasn’t done it again so I haven’t been able to test it. (Actually hope I don’t have to.) Thanks again!

    Marcus, I’m a subscriber and enjoy your videos. I experienced the same pixelated screen on my mini 2. The first time it happened I thought my iPhone screen was heating up, but it occurred again later while using the smart controller and that’s an android device. The pixelated screen is an intermittent problem and can be cleared up by stop recording if you’re taking a video or start recording if you’re not video recording. I learned later that others have also had the same problem with their mini 2’s. I did a screen recording one day when it acted up and sent the video to DJI. They had me send the mini 2 back and sent me a new replacement. It wasn’t long after that and the new replacement was doing the same thing. I don’t get the mini 2 up in the air very often anymore and I can live with the problem knowing I can clear up the screen quickly and continue flying. Note: It’s not caused by the temperature, the SD card or stored Cache. I tried using different iPhones, iPads and also the Tripletek tablet. Nothing else has worked.

    Fantastic video Marcus The same thing happens to my Mini 2 SE sometimes, making it hard to see. I've discovered that this generally happens after five or six minutes of filming .However, I did find that if you switch the camera off and back on, it will clear up I believe it is related to S D card and camera processing.

    Nice video and scenery Marcus, but rather strange FPV behaviour. Still love my Mini 2SE and it is my main drone. I have thought of buying the Mini 3 and now the Mini 4. But at the end of the day the Mini 2SE works perfectly for my needs as a hobby flyer. Also there is nothing wrong with 2.7K video, mind you most of my videos are filmed in 1080p and i still make awesome videos. 👍😊
