4 Incredible DJI Mini 2 Accessories You NEED (And 1 You DON'T)

Here are 10 Cinematic DRONE Moves To Fly Like a PRO! - https://youtu.be/2DIFTkKrvzM

I think the water floats are more used as a safeguard device when flying over water in case of an unplanned landing

For me I fly the Mavic 2 Pro with water landing gear whenever I am flying over any kind of water. I don’t care to land or take off the water but if your drone for any reason crashes into the water it will sink to the bottom of the lake, ocean etc. If the drone has water landing gear on it, then it makes it much easier to recover the drone.

The water floats are not for landing in water as far as I am concerned - they are a great safety device if needing to get footage over deep water. If something goes wrong and the drone falls out of the sky, the floats give you a chance of recovering the drone. Drones are to expensive to not use Locator tags and if needing to get risky over water, floatation devices. I cannot see the need to deliberately land in water, but accidents do happen, and I want to get my drone back when it happens.

Hi Mathew, I would say one really good benefit of using the Drone Floats is if you have a DJI Care Refresh coverage and you have a mishap in water, the replacement fee for a "flyaway" (unrecoverable) incident versus a recoverable damaged drone (where you can send it back to DJI) is (in the USA) $235 vs. $65. I learned this the hard way a few weeks ago when I attempted to take off from a (very slowly) moving sailboat. My operator error and not thinking about taking off from a moving vessel! I hovered at eye-level but didn't think about the boat moving and the guy wire from the main mast stuck my Mini 3 Pro and it plummeted into the water, only to see it drop like a rock! Unrecoverable. So, I had to pay $170 more since I could not recover the drone!

A drone over water is bad enough, but landing on water? Noooooo way ! The other stuff is definitely a must

This isbthe absolutely best explanation of ND filters. Your is the only one I have seen that makes sense and I understand what they are used for now

Hey Brennan, you forgot a major reason why somebody would want to have floaties for their drone! They are brand new to flying yet, they are flying it off a boat and they are deathly afraid of losing it to the deep blue Sea! The floats are at least a security blanket if nothing else! As for the spongy material, it could easily be replaced with the same or something else!

If you are doing a lot of over water flying that floats could be useful. But you would be better off taping two empty water bottles to your drone than pool noodle foam.

Great video. I have the floats for my Mavic 2 Pro and Enterprise Dual. When doing bridge inspections I put them on the drone as a precaution. You can loose GPS AND signal to the drone which will cause it to hover and if control is not re-established then the drone will land at that spot which normally means in the water. Just thought I'd throw out a use case. "If your DJI drone loses connection with the controller for more than 11 seconds, the failsafe RTH mode will be enabled automatically and the drone will return to the preset home point. If the GPS signal is also lost, the drone will hover, then land in place instead of returning to home. "

I still think I'll like to have floats for over water flying in my case, as a security measure, not for normal landing strategy, maybe not those or applying some kind of layer to keep water out of the floats.

I just bought my mini 2. I must confess I have been missing a lot not flying before now. Thanks a lot for all your videos about drones

Thanks for explaining the nd filters. So many people touch on that as a must have but don't go into detail. I don't have a premium drone yet but I'll be adding these once I get it.

Tipped by your vid, I bought the floaters which serve me really well hovering fish filled waters! I can land on the water, give it a few minits and then film fish from really close up. Getting out of the water was also flawless, thanks to the incredible stable DJI Mini2. When not above water, I leave the leg extenders on so I can land even on higher grass (lots of farm land around here) or rough terrain out of reach of my hands like you suggested. I use my camera to film wild life and that means patiently putting it down on remote locations. Now accessible thanks to having a drone!

The water floats can be used in landing softly on hard surfaces and can act at bumper guards

Lowepro Viewpoint AW BP250. Best back pack I've ever bought. Has a small customisable gadget bag that slots into the base of it that carried my mavic pro drone, two spare batts and the controller then the top half holds the charger and spare props with room for more stuff and a tablet/ laptop pocket on the rear to top it off with two front pockets for small items. Sadly long since discontinued but if you find one second hand, seriously consider it. It is amazing.

New Drone enthusiast, and this is absolutely the BEST video I have come across so far! TONS of great information. And yes, Matheww, I am now Subscribed!

I do most of my drone flying over water and have crashed one drone into a river. If I’d had floats on it, I’d have been able to recover it. I doubt people want to land their drones on water but it’s a good idea to have something that prevents sinking in the event of a crash

Thanks man, really helpful again! Si
