good review. am enjoying my third day with Mini 2. Had some issues with Quickshots caused by multiple SD cards not seeming to play well with the aircraft. Got the first card on this list for $7

and have had good connections ever since.
However, ran into another Quickshot issue where the shot would start and the stop by itself after 5 seconds (what?). It happened with every QS. As it turned out, even though drone preflighted itself as OK to fly, the IMU was NOT calibrated. I discovered this by watching it hover at home and even just a plain hover was obviously not right. Although there was plenty of light, full gps and a good compass, the darn thing wandered, slowly but continuously. This was new. And then, while hovering, if I yawed the aircraft in either direction, it would pulse and visibly shake. I figured that this could be related to the Quickshots stopping.
With plenty of light, good compass and gps, the only thing I could think of was product failure. But then I thought to check the IMU. I started the IMU calibration and strangely, It jumped to step 2 of the 5 step calibration process, as if it had already started it before but had not completed all five steps. I quickly completed the remaining steps 2-4 of the IMU calibration and immediately took off again with rock steady hover, no pulsing in yaw and all Quickshots are now executing perfectly. These are marvels of engineering and super reliable, so when something goes wrong it is a surprise. Another example is geofencing. DJI offers no help in these situations. But you can find help out there. Need to unlock a geofence restriction? Read here (forget the manual) https://www.dronepilotgroundschool.com/dji-unlocking-geofence/
