Early Christmas Arizona Trip 2021
This video, photos and adventures are from the trip Jo & I took to Arizona to spend an early Christmas with our daughter and her boyfriend. We had a fantastic time, and the weather was perfect for us North Dakotans as well.
This was the first time I have traveled with a drone (Mini 2) and Camera gear. I had heard that flying with Lipo batteries and going through TSA could be somewhat of an issue. I had everything in my carry-on bag and the only thing they ask was that I open or unzip the drone/camera bags and remove the computer and tablet from their bags. I had no issues, and everything worked out great. Side note, I had my Mini 2 batteries in the charging case and one camera battery in the cameras, as well as spare batteries loose in their perspective bags. This was also the first time flying a drone in and around mountains. I learned a lot of things and wish I would have done some things differently, live and learn, I guess. So that being said this video has nothing to do with drone technology, just having fun taking in the scenery from around the Phoenix AZ area. Hope you enjoy.
A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our YouTube friends. Thanks, Dave & Jo

RTH Close to Home Point Mini 2 vs Air 2 Air 2S
This is a little comparison test between the DJI Mini 2 and Air 2 and I believe the Air 2S. It was windy and a cool 41 degrees in November on the plains of North Dakota. But it was fun and enjoyable to get out and fly again. The short video at the end is just some the scenery from around where I live.

A Morning @ Bison Trail
Like the lines from Alabama's Mountain Music, Spend the day bein' lazy
Just bein' nature's friend
Fall is started and the foliage is turning. This video footage and the photos were all taken on the Bison Trail located in the Souris River Basin just outside of Minot North Dakota.
Bison Plant Trail
Enter a place of tranquility, adventure, or both by taking this fantastic trail in North Dakota. This spot is conveniently located near Minot and has plenty of natural beauty and other points of interest to see along the path. If you need a way to clear your mind and get some fresh air, you should keep the Bison Plant Trail in mind.
Bison Plant
In 1972 NSP (Northern States Power) announced that the Bison Plant would be closing on December 31, 1973. The Bison Plant went into service with one generating unit in 1949 and the second in 1952. Between the two units the plant only generated 12,000 kilowatts which was very small as bigger plants were at 300,000 kilowatts or more. Most of the power was being brought to Minot over transmission lines. The 22 employees were offered other employment in the company.

I have had the Mini 2 since the end of December and have always wanted to check the different in speeds in each mode. I thought that the Air 2 would be faster in all modes, but that isn't the case. The Air 2 is slower in Cine and RTH modes. Surprise Surprise!!

DJI Mini 2 Phone Connection Issue
On this video I'm trying to figure out what was going on with my Android phone and the DJI Mini 2 controller. After installing 1.4.8 Fly App update with 01.03.0000 firmware update which I've never had any issues with up to this point. I'm have connection issue and it is intermittent which makes it hard to figure out. I am thinking that it's my phone or the combination of my Android phone and the Fly App. At this point I guess I really don't know. It's just making it hard to fly the Mini 2 with confidence.
Again if anybody's having this type of issue, has had this type of issue or knows how to fix this issue please leave a comment below.

DJI Mini 2 Battery Auto Discharge Issue
I’ve been using the newest or latest firmware update 01.03.0000 from DJI for the mini 2 and I’ve had no issues until this week. The battery discharge feature doesn't seem to be working, taking the updates or not asking for the updates like it should. I’ve flown twice using all three batteries and I was never asked to update the two that appear to have not been updated. Oh yeah, what’s really weird is two of them were between 70 and 75% and the other one at 93% but yet only one had the firmware update, So this has got me a little baffled. I guess for now I’m just gonna check in the near future and see what happens.
I will also be doing an update here soon once I get all my video looked at on a new issue. Today while flying around my water tower project I completely lost connection between the drone and the controller, not just once but at least two times. That definitely scared me a little, when you can't see the screen and nothing is working it's not a good feeling. And to make things worse now I can’t get the drone to connect to the controller at all. I don’t know what’s going on but, I will be checking that out soon and let everybody know.

DJI Mini 2 Firmware Update 01.03.0000 First Test, Retest Coming Soon, See below.
UPDATE: With some Mini 2 pilots having issues with the new firmware update, I'm going to retest this weekend weather permitting. Also I will know by this weekend if the battery auto-discharge is working or not. Please join me after my update. Thanks, Dave
New Fly App, Firmware update and FlySafe Database in three days. Looks like DJI is busy these days. It was a nice Saturday to go out and fly so, I took my Mini 2 out after doing the three updates and I found no issues.
I am very happy with this Mini 2. I had a Mavic Mini and replaced it with the Mavic Air 2. Flying the Mini 2 again (which I know is an improvement over the Mavic Mini), I still can't believe how well this little drone flies.

Water Tower, Part 1
With little to no rain around here this Spring the foliage is slow to show it's colors, I felt I needed something to do for aerial videos. I decided to try this, so let me know what you think.
A Big Thanks to Landmark Structures
A 1.5 million gallon water tower is under construction in southwest Minot. Landmark Structures is erecting a 1.5 million gallon water tower for just under $4 million.
Minot Daily News, Sep 22, 2020
I believe is this will take most of the summer to complete, as they did one here a couple of years ago and it took them a Summer just to put up the tank and finish up. I guess we will see.

DJI Mini 2 Gimbal -90 Degree Feature. This new firmware update 01.02.0300 seems to have some nice updated features that appears to be exclusive to the DJI Mini 2. I have the DJI Mavic Air 2 and have tried these features, they are not available on the Air 2. This makes the Mini 2 kind of unique for the time being.

DJI Mini 2 Firmware 01.02.0300 RTH Feature
DJI Mini 2 recently received a new firmware and App update and one of the nicer features (I believe) is the new RTH (Return to Home) mode. You now have yaw and elevation or altitude control while in RTH mode. This is nice because now you could have some videos of interest on your return to home. Also, you could use it to concentrate on the camera or a video shot while letting the drone fly itself. But, be careful using this feature if you change your altitude, as your preset Return-to-Home Altitude is bypassed. It’s a straight line back to your home point, this can be bad if you lower your altitude and there are objects higher than your drone is flying. Kind of like having a co-pilot with blindfolds on. I’m hoping the Mavic Air 2 will be getting this update soon. In the interim I’ll just keep my fingers crossed and enjoy this feature on my Mini 2.
