![]() ![]() I always try to keep a Micro SD card in the drone and have an extra one with me. If you like shooting a lot of photos and videos, make sure to have more than one in case you fill one up or forget one at home. My next accessory may be the most important, and since the Mini 2 doesn't have any internal storage, you'll want to remember these. I'll update you guys on my Instagram when it comes in, be sure to follow me over there for more content. This case is for the Mini 1, I've ordered the case for the Mini 2 but it's been back-ordered for over 10 days at the time of recording. It has a plastic dome and an LED light that shines around your drone while it's docked and charging. If you're looking for the coolest way to present a drone on your desk while you're not using it, look no further than this charging case. One accessory that I used all the time for my Mavic Mini is the Charging Display Case. I've used them on a few flights close to me and well within visual line of sight and they worked fine, but like I said I don't do range tests or fly very far away from myself. I have not done any long-range tests with the Mini 2, nor do I want to - but some people love getting range extenders for their drones. If you're in this category - check out the range extenders for the Mini 2. While I don't fly my drones far away from me, a lot of other people love to do this. Range extenders aren't something that the Mini 2 really needs now that it uses OcuSync 2.0 technology, which increased the range and reliability of the signal. My next accessory isn't something that I need to use, but I've had multiple requests to review these in the past. These monitor hoods really help in sunlight, but if it's not very sunny they aren't worth the hassle of putting them on. You'll still have glare on your phone, but it won’t be coming in from the sides, it will only be coming from in front of your screen. And my iPhone's screen is very reflective if I'm out in bright sunlight, so I use a monitor hood to help keep some of the glare off of my phone screen. If you're not going to be using a tablet with the Mini 2, you'll probably be using your phone. Moving on to my third accessory for the Mini 2, a SmartPhone monitor hood. So if you're looking to purchase a DJI drone and you're using an Android device, check to see if it's compatible with the DJI fly app. This isn't really an accessory, but more of a side note - I've had a lot of people email and DM me on Instagram saying they have had trouble with android devices and DJI drones, not just with the Mini 2. This is particularly helpful because the Mini 2 isn't supported by the Smart Controller, not to mention the Smart Controller itself is more expensive than the Mini 2, but this means you'll need to provide the phone or tablet to fly with. The adapter I use is one I just found on Amazon, and I've been able to use it with all of my Mavic drones. The Mini 2 remote shares a similar design to the Mavic Air 2, but these controllers still can't hold tablets in the controller, you'll have to use an adapter. My next accessory for the Mini 2 is a tablet holder. ![]() But if you plan on flying quickly, check out the Freewell filters. If you're flying slowly, the Skyreat filters worked fine, so if you want to save some money check those ones out. As a disclaimer, both companies sent me their ND filters to test, and if I had to recommend one brand over the other, I'd go with the Freewell filters. If you don't know, ND filters attach to the gimbal with a clamp rather than a bayonet mount or magnets, I haven't had any issues with the Freewell filters falling off, but the Skyreat filters slipped off my gimbal once while I was using them. I've also used a few filters from Skyreat but have had issues with them falling off while I'm flying fast. I've been using ND filters from Freewell as usual and have liked how they stayed attached to the gimbal. As of right now, I'm not aware of any neutral density filters with polarization for the Mini 2, but that video is still helpful for the differences between filters. I have an entire video that goes into the differences of no filter, ND filters, and ND filters with polarization - so if what I just said is gibberish to you, check out that video linked above and in the description. This allows you to introduce a gentle amount of motion blur to the moving parts of your footage while still achieving proper exposure. ND filters allow you to shoot in bright environments while still using the 180-degree shutter rule. When it comes to shooting natural and cinematic video with the Mini 2, or any camera, you're going to need some ND filters. Getting straight into it, my first accessory for the Mini 2 is ND Filters. ![]()
