The Best DJI Mini 2 accessories I actually use

what's up guys how you doing if you haven't been to my channel before my name's phillip scrubber welcome to the channel um if you're interested in drones photography cinematography um the subscribe button's down there i suggest you press it it should not be red today we're talking about dji mini 2 accessories that i actually use all the time and they come in handy and i have been using a lot of them with the dji mavic mini one the original um this one is so much better the 4k camera the transmission um 100 megabits per second it's just it does the job anyway let's get into this first thing i recommend you get is the fly more combo um why well you get a couple of batteries you get a bag you get you know it's it it just feels a lot more better um having a bag like this i was a bit skeptical at the beginning but i actually love it i do um this is no doubt the most important bit let's take everything out of there the bag's really cool it's um it's yeah it comes in really handy with like a pocket here you put your drone in here you put your batteries in here and you put your controller in there um and on the other side you have a little zip you can put like papers in it's yeah it's a really nice bag next thing it comes with the battery charger which doubles up as a power bank so you can plug in an out um you can plug it into your phone um you can plug it into whatever you want and you can charge something so that's really cool um now if you do plug this in and charge it if you want to go faster just take out one of the batteries put it in here and plug this in plug this in and you'll get like two charge at the same time right um because this charges in sequence not all together it's a little bit annoying and if you press the button here you will see a little light come up and it will tell you how much power is in each battery now i do this with all my batteries um just so i know which one i'm using um and i've basically always done that with every single camera battery i have um so i quickly can look at them and see what i've used and what i haven't um the controller is awesome you don't need any of these crazy attachments anymore to put an ipad on or to it's it's an awesome controller i mean this this is it's fantastic anyway that's not what we're talking about i'm getting off topic so once again fantastic battery charger um the next awesome accessory that is actually part of the dji mini 2 is this um this is really awesome because these things flapping around everywhere are a real pain in the ass um so having them nicely locked in you basically just put it on these on the bottom right there click it in put these guys together and nothing flaps around anymore next thing that you can probably see is right there that right there that's a free well um nd polarizer filter and that is absolutely fantastic i don't go anywhere without them because i hate having footage that is not cinematic that doesn't have natural motion blur and it basically comes in a beautiful box like this if i can get it open ah there we go and they look like this um i am still to do a film on them but they're fantastic um if you wanna be in line with the 180 degree rule which basically states that your shutter speed is going to be double that of your frame rate so if you've got 25 frames per second you could have one over 50. um for it to have natural motion blur so it's nice and smooth and not kind of jaggedy like football game on tv right um so this by free well is the all-day eight pack kit it fits on the mavic mini and the mini 2. they also do a long exposure kit which is pretty cool um and i am waiting for a day there you go it looks like this and they basically are the pretty same kind of filters um what happens with these is they they stick on if you can see right there in those kind of grooves um and they if you put it on click it on correctly check it before you get in the air that it's all lined up and everything's looking good especially these ones because these ones are pretty huge as you can see they cover the whole frame um whereas these around circular ones as you twist it to make the polarization work um you're gonna make sure they're on nice and nice and snug and correctly or else you might have like some kind of vignetting on the sides of the frames but anyway i highly recommend you get these otherwise your footage will look amateur that fact that this guy does have all manual settings in video just like the mavic mini one does now you do need nd filters to get your footage looking beautiful next thing is the landing pad which you probably saw in my video here about um landing this guy and it's pretty simple it looks like like that one side is orange the other side is black and you basically put on the ground it's got little um holes here straps um because if you're in some kind of sandy area windows blowing around you can like just tent it in um so that's awesome and um as you saw in the film it would land about two meter kind of zone of that landing pad which is good enough for me um and i think it's good enough for everybody else out there next thing that used to come with the mavic mini one are these guys um now they're really cool you put them on and you can basically fly inside or if you're a beginner you don't really have to worry too much about hitting stuff um it's worth saying that you have to go into the app settings um go down and turn on payload mode for these now i don't suggest carrying anything with a mavic mini it's really a small drone it doesn't like having stuff put on it like extra cameras like dji's osmo pockets or gopros and stuff it just doesn't like it it has a hard time with these it actually flies really well there is a different version this one i'm not even gonna take it out of the box but um as much as i do like pgy tech because they make really good stuff this cage sucks pretty badly um the mini just has a hard time with it for some reason it doesn't like flying with that cage so you can pick these up um if you did buy the mini two from the website um they're really cool they're useful you can bounce into stuff including yourself and nothing will happen so that's really cool um next thing that i do use is this it comes in a box like this there you go and this is basically um a lipo safe bag you can buy ones from dji and they come in various sizes i i do have them for my large drones but for for this this is basically um all you need you just stick in your batteries like so and um you're going to be sure that you're not going to have any trouble with the airplanes because this is basically something you put on it looks like this you've got all your batteries in there you close up at the top down and there you go that is what it looks like um only once out of all the flights i've been on did someone stop me and ask me if i have a lipo bag which i did and that was in dubai um apparently they can confiscate it or ask you to put it somewhere else i don't know if you don't have a lipo bag so um i do recommend getting it it's not expensive i think they're about 10 20 the official ones are i think maybe about 30 but it will save you a headache when you're flying and stress um it basically means that if it does catch on fire it's gonna kind of like stop it i think um heightened landing gear for the mavic mini um right there i am gonna try and post some of these links below but a lot of these things are on ebay and the auction changes every week so there's really not much point me posting it um this guy basically clicks onto the bottom of your drone um it's really simple but because the mavic mini is so low to the ground as you can see i mean look at that um when i land sometimes and i don't want to hand land um it will get really just clicks on and now you're a lot higher as you can see off the ground um so it won't be hitting any twigs or leaves or branches or whatever got to be careful when you take it off remember this guy is flimsy um you've got to just make sure you don't break him when you take it off and the last thing which everybody went crazy about and i do want to say stop is this guy um this is an accessory that is very specific um and it basically comes with this this this um and i did a film on this i don't know if i'm gonna do another one do you guys really want me to land the mavic the mavic the mini 2 on water do you you want me to do that to myself again that was stressful enough um the whole point of this was not to land the mini on water because i don't have any need for that at all it was to basically show that this guy um if he does get into trouble can land on water using this crazy contraption so if it wanted to auto land or if it started falling out the sky and you fly over water a lot this will maybe not save your drone but at least let it float so that you can fish it out and claim your dji care if you bought it which i did and i hope everybody else did because this guy has no obstacle avoidance and he could fall out the air in the water um so if you fly over water a lot pick it up and the way to do it is to basically um put this in your sink fill out water and check if it's front heavy or not make sure these guys are straight i made like little lines with a pen i made lines on here to know exactly where it is that he um is balanced so he's not going to land and fall into the water but he got it goes down nicely um and you kind of just attach it with this and two thumb screws and it's secure and it does work as you saw it's very stressful but it works um so i mean i don't use that much i have used it a few times flying over water because i was a little bit stressed um but i'm sure a lot of people could make use of it if you're living at the sea or somewhere i don't know that it might feel like you know so yeah those are the things that i actually use for the mavic dji mini 2 whatever you want to call it um the most the most the most important one for me is this so if you're gonna buy anything go out and buy this um because it just means your footage will look a million times better it will look professional because you can really get some beautiful beautiful footage out of this guy if you have any questions about any of these um if you want me to help you find them just drop them in the comments below because like the free wells i can link um like the floaty what is it called landing gear and floating kit for mavic mini start rc um i probably can't link because it's constantly on ebay you'll find it there um same with lipo packs i bought that from ebay and the landing gear i bought from ebay this is all stuff that you're gonna have to find on ebay yourself and i'm sure you can do it if i could do it you can do it but like i said the free will i can link and the dji propeller guards i can link and the rest of the stuff you're gonna have to be a grown-up if you like my film and it helped you give me a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed make sure you do and um is there anything else you guys do like subscribe comment down there have a great week
