DJI Mavic Mini vs DJI Mini 2

So if you keep it in your pocket, just be aware you might be breaking some propellers or bend them. And we'll talk about a situation where these prope...

The controller lasts a while. One thing to be careful about is the program drains your phone battery quickly. I have an iPhone 13 and I lose 10%-15% during a 20 minute flight session. The controller does have built-in phone charging

Professional pilots won't find much use in the mini rather than the small size, but sometimes that's all you need. Something light and portable that c...

Tom's tech time the show with the three fastest tees in the world. Now let's take a closer look all together at the brand new Mavic Mini 2 from manufa...

Estimated firmware release is "late December". In other words, any authorization requests for a "blue" zone will be denied until they update the aircraft's firmware in "late December." So please have this in mind when purchasing this product or if you prefer to be a beta tester for DJI go ahead. I think this is completely unacceptable

Essentially the VPN was hiding my identity and then causing restrictions. Something so simple but nobody had stated anywhere that flying with VPN’s would be so problematic

55 lbs). Now DJI is back with the Mini 2, which addresses the most important requests from users and still checks in at 249g. In the process, the Mavic branding has given way to a shorter name: the DJI Mini 2.

The weight is so light! And the control is so fine and stable. Myself and my kids are always excite when we turn it on for fly runs! I would recommend it to anyone who wish to start with drone.

That's about a mile which is good for this little drone but I was flying at 150m which is above the 120m legal limit and if I flew with just the controller without the range extenders it probably wouldn't have gone much over 1km. Also the signal can sometimes go bad as less than 100 meters which can be such a disappointment because I expected for the price the range to be good for atleast 1km without range extenders. Something just recently happened and it just fell down from the sky but luckily into the grass and not the concrete. It said it had a motor error as it descended and fell spiraling down from the sky

One thing you should keep in mind is where you want to show your photos and in which format and size. Personally, I probably wouldn’t make large prints out of most of these photos, but I’d post almost all of them on my Instagram grid. And if you’re still not satisfied with the JPGs, you can always edit the RAW files separately and see how far you can push it in post.

- It can fly for a really long time (20-30 mins), I was quite surprised considering how small and powerful it was. - It can withstand strong wind gusts (think 30mph) and remain relatively level. - It's intelligent, the stabilization of the aircraft and the gimbal is impressive to say the least. - It can return home with GPS, this is honestly one of the most amazing features

Usually you have a guaranteed flight time of about 25 minutes depending on how much sport mode you're using, how much wind there is, and what you do w...

Battery life is good, Definitely like the price of extra batteries, having 3 is way better than 1. It is so much quieter than the phantom. With the phantom people always know when your flying it and people are always looking. But with this little thing no one even pays attention, even the park ranger didnt bother me

Battery life is improved, too. The Mini 2's motors are upgraded to be both more powerful and power efficient, pushing the rated battery life from 30 to 31 minutes. It's a modest bump, and still shy of the 34-minute rating you get with the pricier DJI Mavic Air 2, a drone that's best-in-class when it comes to flight time.

The quality of the camera is pretty good too, better than I expected. The stability of the drone because of the gimbal is 10/10. The battery life is something more to ask though, it only lasts maybe 22 minutes on sport mode with constant flying, and I'd say 26-27 minutes on Picture mode and flying it leisurely.

The camera on the Mini 2 blows my Canon EOS 70D *Out-of-the-Water* as far a picture/video quality having the ability to record in 4K at 30 fps and 4x zoom telephoto. The DjI app is feature ladened where you can edit and upload your videos or images directly to social media while out in the field, one button *Return to Home* function using GPS, video transmission up to 6.2 miles (10km) using DJI'a OcuSync 2.0 and so much more

The no-fly maps are easy to navigate. Great price for the value, great video quality including stabilization. Fly into the wind so the drone is being assisted by the wind when flying back home. Has been useful doing inspections of the roof and gutter at our house, and keeping away birds this Spring

I’m not a fan of gatekeeping any hobby, especially when the bar for entry is as simple as going to Best Buy for DJI. You mentioned price, and while it may seem expensive for a hobby, a DJI Mini 2 is as much as a current generation game console. So I don’t really consider that valid. And while your concern for crashing is a very legitimate one, I can also buy a Peg Perego Polaris for $400, which my four year old can drive off into traffic if I wasn’t careful
