DJI Mini 2 firmware update - Is this the LAST firmware update for the Mini 2?

the DJI Mini 2 is this the last firmware update that we'll see for this little fella let's do this [Music] so hello and welcome once again to the channel here 2023 Happy New Year to you all out there so the DJI Mini 2 DJI have released the latest firmware a couple of weeks ago I know I'm a little bit late coming to you guys on this but a lot of the subscribers on the channel still use the DJI Mini 2 as I do and this has just been an absolute fantastic drone in fact this particular one is the second one that uh that I've got or not got but to have due to the um unfortunate incidents that I had around about 18 months ago I'll leave a card up there and you can see all that was all about if you're interested that is but getting back to today's video so what's um what's the firmware update all about not only just a firmware update for the dgr mini 2 but it also comes with a firmware for the rcn1 controller as well so let's get straight into the video stick around to the end and I'll give you my summary why I think that this might be the last firmware update for the DJI mini 2. let's get straight into the video so here we go then straight on whether you get new DJI Mini 2 firmware let's have a look exactly what it's all about you can see here uh zero one zero six zero two zero zero there's a mouthful and also the firmware for the DJI rcn1 so looking straight in the menus once you've done your firmware update as you probably know but I'll just remind you all that you do have to go through all the menus and change a few things about because what it does it resets a lot of things as you can see just there the the LED at the front that always defaults for some reason to the first color so it's always best to go through the menus and just double check and make sure that everything is as it is or as you like it to be now recently I've had a couple of subscribers asking me where the advanced gimbal settings gone well they haven't gone they're actually in this section here again an expo tuning under the control tab so if you go into there what happens next is you'll see there is the maximum angular velocity and your smoothness they're the first things that come up and then the Expo settings for the pitch roll the your and the up and down so this is where you alter any advanced gimbal settings and you see there the Tilt smoothness and the maximum control speed of the gimbal so that's where the advanced gimbal settings are now moving on to the camera menu just make sure that everything is set how you want it to be set because like I said it can default everything back to uh factory settings as such when you're doing any firmware update so looking into the transmission everything is exactly the same just remember what you can do is Select either 5.8 or 2.4 2.4 for longer range so looking into the about section you can see here the aircraft firmware 01060200 and it's always best to check to see if there's any other firmware updates as I just have just then and you can see the RC firmware 04 11 0 200 uh always best to check your fly safe database as well moving back to the safety tab just one last thing to check is the advanced Safety settings and make sure that that return to home is where it should be I always leave that as the default that's all the menus checked so let's get out give it a good old test flight and make sure everything works as it should so out on location one of my um test places that I always come out and test the drones after firmware updates nice open field I don't like flying over houses and things you tend to get a lot of Wi-Fi interference so I generally come out and just make sure that we're in the clear and that there's no obstacles about if anything should go wrong so here we go then we'll check it out take it up I'm not going to get too mad today a bit of a murky day as you can see and not only that it's just finished raining flying conditions are fairly good at the moment as you can see on the UAV forecast so checking it out like I say not too far all I want to do is to make sure that it functions correctly I'm going to do one or two tests we should do a um a quick shot and a return to home but just checking that everything works fine Compass is working as it should as you can see down there in the left maps are working fine I've just had that out flying with the iPhone today with the rcn1 controller and flicking it into sports mode it would be nice if DJI would include the mini 2 on the uh the latest controller the DJI IRC but I can't see that happening unfortunately so quick flying around in sports mode as you can see everything's working absolutely spot on as it should I am flying from inside the car as you can see you get the odd GPS signal weak signal notification nothing to worry about It's Perfectly Normal I wouldn't expect by sitting in the car so let's do a quick return to home test flick back to normal mode and just make sure that that's working as it should there we go let's initiate that and you'll see that it spins 180 degrees as it should some people are still getting that problem where it only turns 90 degrees and uh I've heard that people are saying that they've returned to home is not very accurate with this latest update but I can confirm this right above me I did cancel it just there one thing you should do is always use the return to home as an emergency situation only I can't see the point really in using the return to home it's just a lazy way of bringing your drone back but using it as an emergency then once you get sight of it if you've lost signal and the signal comes back then cancel the return to home and that way you can then fly it back and land it safely I did do a video a couple of weeks ago all about the return to home function if you want to check that out on that card just there so just moving on now to do a quick quick shot that's a mouthful we'll just do a quick drony selecting the subject I have had one or two reports saying that um selecting the subject has been a bit iffy but it's worked absolutely fine for me as you can see just here speed it up don't want to bore you to death that's a quick shot done so I can confirm that that's working absolutely spot on okay well there's not really much more to test other than the uh the different modes it takes photograph it takes video did that earlier just to make sure Orlando will summarize back in the studio so there we go there's the test flight all done nothing in my opinion has changed other than the fact that when you do a firmware update as you saw that you do have to alter a few things about because it does reset a few things so I said earlier in the video about the the mini 2 and why I think that this is probably going to be the last update firmware update at least for this little fella as you know DJI have brought out two more drones since the release of this one that being the Mini 3 Pro and the DJI Mini 3 so it's got two successes to this but what a faithful guy this has been and I'm sure most of you out there that have this drone will agree so well in my opinion I think that this is going to be the last firmware update uh I hope I'm wrong and correct me if I am wrong let's see if they bring any more out but everything comes to an end and like the mavic mini they stop doing firmware updates for those a while ago and now with the release of the two new drones the Mini 3 and the Mini 3 Pro I think this little fellow will uh be sort of like at the end of its uh sell by date if you like let's hope not right so the carry on bringing some firmer updates for that little fella because well it's just bomb proof in my opinion great little drone so I hope you've got some use out the video if you have give us a thumbs up and if you're new around here and you like the Drone content on the channel then why don't you consider subscribing ding in the dong and all the rest of it that goes with it and we will see you in the next video thanks for watching
