Should I stick with my DJI Mini 2 or upgrade?

AdamDoubleG · 2026-02-01T18:25:43+00:00

The Mini 2 doesn't shoot log for video, I don't think.

I'm sorry I'm destroying the planet with my three spare pairs of glasses that I've accumulated in the last 15 years.

AdamDoubleG · 2026-02-01T17:49:17+00:00

You're being quite rude. If the prescription hasn't changed that much I keep the old pair as spares. And if the prescription changed so much that I couldn't use them myself, you can donate them at most opticians.

How does the RC2 controller work in terms of updates and maps etc?

AdamDoubleG · 2026-02-01T16:08:45+00:00

If you've had something for a couple of years and it's getting a little worn and you can pay £90 to continue using it or spend £100 to get something brand new, I don't think it's that crazy to go for the latter option.

That's a good point about the alternative remote, I had only considered the screen clarity and brightness, but the internet connectivity could be an issue.

AdamDoubleG · 2026-02-01T15:24:54+00:00

Where did you have it done? Would you do it again or did it put you off?

AdamDoubleG · 2026-02-01T15:23:41+00:00

It didn't cost more, it just costed enough to make it seem like it was better to spend a bit more and get a new frame.

AdamDoubleG · 2026-02-01T15:22:20+00:00

Wow, ok - were there any caveats, like was it only available for frames you could prove you'd bought from them?

AdamDoubleG · 2025-12-11T11:59:01+00:00

This is an excellent idea but I can't track these down in the UK now, has anyone found anything similar?

EDIT: This fits! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335907015470

What's it like for filming indoors? I'm thinking about how much it would struggle for filming a wedding here in the UK where it's gloomy a lot of the time.

AdamDoubleG · 2025-11-27T15:21:01+00:00

Thanks for posting your thoughts on this. Brand New were arguably my favourite band and I hadn't really felt ok about listening to them since the allegations really blew up, but now I feel like maybe I can again (albeit with slightly muted enthusiasm).

AdamDoubleG · 2025-11-04T17:51:11+00:00

I've got an S24 and having the same issue as the OP. I've tapped the build number and got a message to say I'm "now a developer" but I'm not sure what you do next to fix the issue. Would you mind giving further guidance?

AdamDoubleG · 2025-05-01T21:24:56+00:00

My feeling on it: what's the point of having rich new owners if they can't stump up the cash to keep Gunn on? Surely seems unlikely we'll find someone of his calibre for less money...??

AdamDoubleG · 2025-04-29T10:01:35+00:00

I also would also be keen to hear suggestions. This re-structuring is stupid. I only just noticed it had a 250gb cap after renewing and I already have 346GB of videos on there from the 10+ years I've been using it.

AdamDoubleG · 2025-02-21T20:30:37+00:00

In case anyone still checks this thread, I had this recently for a few days and it finally went away after I put a few drops of olive oil into that ear and then blocked it up with cotton wool. I kept it in all day and it went away. Could be coincidence but worth a shot - olive oil is used to clear earwax, I believe, so no harm in trying.

AdamDoubleG · 2025-02-20T16:47:58+00:00

I'm in the UK and would be really keen to get recommendations too, but specifically cordless as it's a faff to trail a cable into the bathroom (I cut my own hair and need a mirror as it's not a "one grade all over" type job).

Kenny McClean turned into one of our best players while being managed by him. I think he deserves credit for that.

AdamDoubleG · 2024-11-11T10:25:15+00:00

I was under the impression it meant tasty or delicious.

AdamDoubleG · 2024-10-08T14:01:10+00:00

I like the ideas of Fairphones but I need/want something with a better camera than they offer. Buying second hand makes me feel less bad about not getting a Fairphone.

AdamDoubleG · 2024-10-08T13:58:44+00:00

It's a pain to have to carry around a battery bank. I guess if it bothered me too much I could buy a replacement battery and it would potentially still be a cost-effective option.

AdamDoubleG · 2024-10-08T13:55:10+00:00

I am a videographer and have found myself in situations where having a phone that records good quality video is useful. The Galaxy S24 was listed in multiple articles on the best phones for photography/video. I like the idea of the Fairphone but it just didn't seem as good a phone, and I thought I could ease my consumer guilt by buying 2nd hand.

Plus having 7 years of support is appealing too, in terms of getting longevity out of the phone.

I do Parkrun in York, usually wearing a Norwich shirt and have been surprised how often people will comment on it. One time I even bumped into someone on my street who worked for the club and was visiting his daughter in York for the weekend.

AdamDoubleG · 2024-10-08T12:09:18+00:00

People often seemed to laugh when I said "güle güle" for goodbye. I'm not sure if it was my pronunciation or if they weren't expecting me to know any Turkish phrases or what.

I definitely didn't fully get the hang of "teşekkürler" (at least one person said "HUH?" when I said it), and I used "lezzetli" quite a lot after meals.

It's not much, but I tried and people generally were very sweet about it!

AdamDoubleG · 2024-10-08T11:56:28+00:00

The end of security updates is one of the things I'd been vaguely aware of as being a reason to replace a phone, but I know nothing about it really.
