You're very welcome Frontliner 2020.

Another nice find DA.

I watched this from start to finish yesterday evening with my grandson.  He really did a great job with this all encompassing tutorial.

No probs DT,  I found this one of the better ones too.

I think Ray usually does a great job with his videos.  The one where he tested the Mini 3 Pro under window conditions was quite interesting.  I just kept thinking any minute that a gust would come up and blow the Mini 3 Pro out to sea.  The Mini 3 Pro did wobble a bit but it amazed me that it could fly into the wind so well.  I'm really excited to get it in hand and give it a test.

Oddly his video gave me the confidence to send the Mini2 to up in similar conditions and it also handled well,    just a little slow into wind which is to be expected.

For its small size the Mini 2 motors are quite powerful.  

Is there some reason why my mini 2 will not go over 50 meters distance? It will climb to 120 meters, but the maximum distance refuses to change to anything other than 50 meters even though the app is set greater than 50 meters. I am not in any restricted area. I'm on my own property which is larger than 50 meters in any direction.

Hi, David. Thanks for sharing this tutorial video with us. Have a wonderful day ahead!

Theres a few reasons for that,  not being logged into your account,  being in payload mode,  or tutorial mode.

Great video! I'm completely new to drones and this really helped me! Thank you very much!

I have a question that maybe you know the answer of (I tried starting a new thread for it, but the forum says I'm not authorized to). I've put an microSD-card that I previously have used in my GoPro camera into the RC controller. I would like to format the card in the controller but I can't find anyway to do that. Do you know how to? If it is not possible, I'll have to format it in my PC - what format should I use?

I format mine as ex-fat.

You're very welcome.

That's long, but I actually just watched his video on the controller.

Yes,   its interesting how some of the longer videos have been popular,  especially when they say no more than 10 minutes usually.

It really depends on the audience.
I have been following some youtubers that make really long video's.
They are super slow and easy to watch.

And the subject matter too I guess

Yeah, but in general it is about style of the video.

Montfrooij Posted at 5-29 03:22

There are certainly some styles that make me turn off very quickly.  

DAFlys Posted at 5-29 23:02

Yup.
This one is one of the few I have no problem watching 10+ minutes.
Most vids I seldomly watch more than 1:30 minutes.

And honestly, that is more than the average YT viewer will spend on many video's.
I sometimes get comparison charts on my dashboard and I believe it is <1 minute (avg view time) overall.

Thank you for the explanation. Can you please explain how to do live streaming? I've found videos that I could activate this in the transmission tab - but for me the option is not there. How can I activate it? (I am using the new RC remote)

Its not available on the RC controller,  you can only do that from a phone and the N1 controller currently.  

Great! This is a very comprehensive and useful guide for us new Mini 3 owners, thank you! (I am still waiting for my Mini 3 to ship, getting my mouth wet with videos like this - and of course real life footage from users in the forum ;-)
