Sure, the Mavic Air 2 is incredibly compact and lightweight, too, but DJI doubles down with the Mini 2 – it really feels like your own take-it-anywhere sky camera. The DJI Mini 2 design inherits the palm-sized dimensions and foldable arms of the Mavic Mini for a size that’s so small it won’t cause a distraction when you’re flying it through the air. The DJI Fly app is also a well-balanced combination of simple to use, but with powerful features. Casual drone flyers won’t need to venture beyond the main interface, but there’s plenty to master.
Too bad the rules in the EU make the weight of 250gr meaningless if it has a camera. My criticism is about the complete absence of this issue in this review. That is why I gave information where potential buyers can check their local restrictions.
The higher bit-rate is a contributing factor there, though it’s fair to say that the throughput on the Mini SE isn’t as far behind as the numbers suggest. Those who spend that bit more, on the Fly More kit, will get themselves an external Charging Hub which will make it possible to charge up three batteries in sequence and to use them as a power brick. The extra thrust is there in the SE’s motors phantom 4 to help keep it in place, even if it isn’t used to skim along at quite the same speed. Warranty repairs and replacements at no extra cost including access to repairs infrastructure in the UK from a DJI Approved Repair Centre. Many customers ask us questions around how to start a drone business, which drones are best for different operations, and which training is required to pilot those drones.
Keep an eye on the orientation of the antennas and ensure they are facing the aircraft during flight. Close other running programs in the background of the mobile device being used. 6.What should I do if there is a significant delay in Mavic Mini’s video transmission?
Yes, I would have liked it, but not if the price or weight went up. It seems to me that the claim that a digital zoom or crop is “lossless” is a very dodgy claim. Sbszine – True that you’re not technically losing quality by cropping, but that assumes that you’ll view the output at a smaller size. “Both 4K and 2.7K allow up to 2X zooming, and 1080p resolution allows you to hone in on a subject up to 4X, though the quality only remains lossless at 2X zoom.”
Excited about getting it though, it came in at the right time at the right price for a previous Mavic pro owner who just wanted something cheaper to fly as and when. I’d be careful flying this drone around any people or property until this is resolved. You have to watch carefully when flying the Mini, good advice even for a drone costing several times as much with obstacle avoidance.
The DJI Mini 2 Drone weighs roughly the same as an apple — but a portable size doesn’t mean this drone lacks power. If you want a compact, easy to carry, easy to fly drone with 4K video capture, this is currently the best available. It’s great for the novice, and its size and weight mean it never feels intrusive in a small rucksack; equally so when flown outdoors. That $560 is very reasonable for a drone with all these features, too. The drone comes with a very useful strap, which holds the propellers in place when the drone is back in its case.
Support for the Goggles may be added at a later date via app or firmware update, but there has been no official confirmation from DJI that the Mini will ever support any of DJI’s FPV Goggles. No – the Mavic Mini doesn’t have any kind of IP rating, isn’t waterproof and shouldn’t be flow in rain, snow, high winds or any other kind of precipitation. For example, in the UK, United States, Canada, and China, you can fly the Mavic Mini without the need to register it with the government, as it falls under the 250g drone registration threshold.

Not only does the market catch on and help these popular drones excel, but DJI themselves also put out a great selection of add-ons and replacement parts. Make sure the Snap Adapter and connected devices are properly attached before takeoff. To ensure safety, please avoid any contact between the aircraft and yourself or others when the aircraft is powered on. Measured at a constant speed of 17 kph in windless conditions.
