Will the DJI Mini 2 Start Up from Over Half a Mile Away? / Start Up Range Test / Return to Home Test

Can the DJI Mini 2 drone start up from over half a mile away from the controller? In this episode, we take Jack (DJI Mini 2 drone) to Tater Farms in Hastings, Florida for yet another “test”. We wanted to know if Jack could start his engines if the controller was over half a mile away. This can be classified maybe as a “Start Up Range Test”. Depending on if Jack was able to start up, we then wanted to try to change the home point from the same distance away. What do you think the results were? We want to thank Chris Cook (YouTube Creator) who shared the idea of changing the home point from so far away and he created a video demonstrating the results (see link below). Watching his video started our wheels turning and he was gracious enough to give us his blessing on creating our take on his idea. Thanks, Chris!!!
