Only way to do that is install bigger motor change the software on the drone and then add a bigger battery...ud have to really want to do it, to do it. It's more cheap and easy to buy a air 2 and mod thay battery instead. 35 to 40 on a mini 2 is max flight time that's all your gonna get with it being factory.

the top speed in drones is always 100% dependent on the max angle of tilt relative to gravity. And this is what is regulated by the firmware. And the motors do not get hot because of the extra voltage, but rather because the drone is working harder by carrying extra weight. They would also get hotter than usual when you're carrying the same weight regardless if it's batteries or not

Yes I did the same thing with a Mjx Bugs 3 years ago and got the same oscillation, but got expected performance increase. Of course it was a much more simple flight control system. Seemed like it increased the sensitivity of the feedback loop!. Just fyi

I have been using a Phantom 4 but wouldn't mind having the Mini 2. Just waiting to see if there will be a Mini 3. I think its so annoying that Drone manufacturers keep producing drone with 28, 32, or similar flights times. Deliberately I might add. As you show, it is possible to give a longer flight time. Wish they would give the crowd what they want.

@ZollyD

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah! I do understand it from the viewpoint of they have to fool-proof their products. Maybe this flight time deters people to try crazy distance flight? I don´t know. I think they should continue with the same basic setups, BUT optionally make available higher capacity batteries. Proper genuine DJI tech stuff. IDK. I think many people would buy from DJI a fancy full top-of-the-line battery for quite some money. I mean if they really want the best... right? ahhh, just ignore me, I am just rambling... 😂😂😂😂

I was thinking about opening up the top cover over the drone to put the batteries closer to center gravity. A new ,used top cover is pretty cheap to replace if you want to return to stock. I was also considering drilling multiple holes on the entire body for weight reduction. If I could scan or aquire a 3d scan of the top cover, it could easily be possible to create a modified enclosed top cover for more or larger battery assemblies.

@slappy76

8 ай бұрын

The top cover is just an outer shell. The part that limits your ability to install a larger battery like the 21700 is the cage in the fuselage. Watch a Mini / Mini 2 disassembly video to see what I'm talking about. For you to do that you'd have to scan the fuselage, 3D print a version of it with a revamped cage and then replace ALL the component the new body. Way too much work for very little gain. Especially since they sell larger batteries.
