DJI Mavic Mini - Top 25 Things to know before you buy

[@FlytPath]

What questions do you have? I want to answer them in an upcoming video. Leave your comments below.

[@jaliyahsutton]

Have you traveled with this drone over the few weeks you had it

[@slappymcslapster8845]

I'm sure you addressed it in an upcoming video but I would love to see more side-by-side comparisons of pictures and video. You did show a little bit but it was so fast that I couldn't really get a sense.

[@RockyPatrol]

I would like to know what are really missing compare to Mavic Air. If you could demonstrate Active Track, Tap fly and Course Lock that would be awesome! Thanks!

[@SeanOzz]

What does it weigh with the prop guards on?

[@FlytPath]

@@HainaHimsa The wifi connection is between the remote and the drone. You don't connect to other networks. So the answer is yes.

[@bradd4983]

Hold up, can we all just take a moment to appreciate how he segmented the video with timestamps the way he did? I've literally never seen that before and I'm liking for that.

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Brad

[@vtrdavefilms]

yeah that IS cool! good catch Brad.

[@NEStalgicGames]

It’s a relatively new feature, but not many people do it haha

[@Rex69Rutherford]

Good point... this is an exceptionally good video

[@SinisterJr]

happens to any video when theres timestamps in the description

[@alexgataric]

I bought one last week. Very portable and easy to deploy. Flight time is very good and the camera is great. Smooth clear video and pictures. I didn't need 4K anyway. Gimal stays level even during rapid manuvering. Battery life is great. I love this little drone!

[@FlytPath]

Great to hear!

[@szbert]

I think another user for this drone is the hiker, mountain biker, cyclists, motorcyclists, etc who want to have a good quality, but very compact drone to take on their rides and adventures. It's appreciably smaller and lighter than my Autel EVO. That's why I'll be getting one. Thanks for all the detailed information.

[@extremelydave]

Could you imagine being a rock climber and having this with you to take videos of your climb??? !!!!! Picture you on the side of a mountain able to get pictures from on high.... super cool.

[@ColatoFilms]

A long time ago I was researching this drone because I wanted to buy it, and this video convinced me. The most complete I have seen so far! Thank you very much for your work! 🙏🏻

[@jekjr1957]

I bought a Mini about a month ago. I recently shot some flood waters in Lower Alabama at numerous locations. I was blown away with what this little drone can do. I love mine.

[@blackicemedia]

This is one of the most comprehensive and knowledgeable reviews on the Mavic Mini I've seen so far! Awesome work!

[@seriously3130]

Had my DJI mini for over a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I’m very impressed with the quality and it does everything the manufacturer said it would. Just an excellent product! Very good review of a very nice little drone 👍🏼

[@sabinpetrache2182]

The price just makes everything

[@TheZafaroo]

even tho the video was 19:43 seconds but the way he provides all the details you wouldn't even notice the time loll . Love it

[@FlytPath]

Thanks that means a lot

[@swordedcat1427]

I am seriously didn't notice this video was 19:43 seconds😂

[@arnoldlayne9469]

Multiple times during this review I found myself nodding in approval to the way you do things. For example, not telling us which footage was which until after we saw them, then showing them in a grid together. I appreciated that method. Also, the hover test to be more consistent with your results as opposed to trying to simulate the same flight path with all of them. You’ve gained a subscriber.

[@FlytPath]

great information for a total novice never flown a drone and looking to get into for fun.

[@SlyFullKiwi]

Just brought mine and took it for its first flight! No complaints so far. Never owned a drone until now and i feel like its a great entry level drone.

[@Heaven2015]

Good,Nice & informative explanation...just ordered one after watched this video....

[@zenaxia8063]

How have you liked it since? Also would you reccomend the mavic mini 2?

[@decode110]

Sir, is any possibility that the DJI will add 'active track' in mavic mini through software upgrade??

[@mzimmerman12]

Great review....told me everything I needed to know. I ended up with the Parrot Anafi. But I may also get the Mini sometime in the future. I just love all the extras I get with the Anafi, follow me, flight plans, 180 degree camera, 4K, 25 minutes of fly time, no "no fly zones" to deal with, easy USB C charging (awesome), but most of all the best feature is it's got to be the quietest drone in it's class.

[@russellk.bonney8534]

If you fly the mini out in sport mode at 18kmh you can go down to 45% battery and still get back in P mode which it seems to defer to on RTH. That's because the battery usage per/m is way less at the lower speed mode. If you are going to push the distance limits be prepared to go into 'find my drone' mode. Also you can use the "set the RTH" feature as a way point on the map, and then a second,and third one ad-infinitum. Then when you want to bring it home you use the "return to controller" via the controller icon on the screen. Either that or you can use the known H point on the map.

[@Ahmad-pu9ci]

I got my mavic mini a week ago and just took it to the beach and went out 2000ft. No problems what so ever. It was awesome.

[@billfearheller4179]

If you add the decals and graphics, is there a possibility that you will add 2 more grams of weight and then you will have to register the drone? Have nit, will pic. Seriously, this drone looks like a blast to have. bf

[@crackedcandy7958]

Yes. The prop guards, or light would push it over.

[@crackedcandy7958]

Making it needed to be registered. 250 is 250

[@alandoesmtb550]

@@crackedcandy7958 i dont think it has to be registered because im pretty sure it only counts the drone itself has to be under 250 but when you attach propquards or stickers it doesnt change anything even though it might be 3 grams heavier

[@dane535]

this is absolutely perfect me. Started out with the wingsland s6. Loved flying it and taking photos. Only complaint was the flight time/ speed. This drone looks to be a big step up for not too bad of a price

[@TheChestermarc]

Hey fly path! I super need your help and advice I have a mavic pro, I love the 4K and the results! But My only concern (my biggest concern actually) is just how much space it consumes on my backpack. I don’t know if I should trade my mavic pro for the mini? I’ll be traveling a lot next year, so I know efficiency will be key

[@kez850]

Just got this from DJI as a refurb (looks brand new to me) + 2 extra batteries for $200. Love it as my first drone!

[@wijdanfadholi7287]

Thanks for good reviews there is the new magic mini 2 what is new in it and does it worth to take the mini 2

[@sourodz]

[@chowtimewithruss1411]

Thinking about doing some drone video, so I’ve started to research entry level drones. You put out a really good informational video helped a lot!! Thanks for a great video!

[@daviddesrosiers1946]

This drone has one purpose. To get new drone buyers to buy it and immediately want another, more expensive drone with more features and a better camera. Well played, DJI marketing department, well played.

[@kevinwalker7102]

I agree! Lol! But I'm not mad at them. I would much rather see people spend their hard earn money on a system like this vs dropping over $100 on a Drone from one of those gypsy kiosks in the mall. I swear it always seems when flying, I have people come up to me to tell me they also own a drone in which they bought from the mall or got from a facebook ad etc. Lol! When they all see that whichever drone I'm flying will just sit there and hover-it blows their minds. Lol! So I too applaud DJI for working on ways to make the "DJI" name Affordable for all classes.

[@juliuscaesar8801]

David Desrosiers the other thing is when buying from other drone seller / resellers, your taking a shot. Service after the sale is huge.

[@B4bafett]

I've gone from a phatom 3 and mavic pro 2 sold them both for this.

[@toyshanger8945]

I have the air, but I would buy this if you are a new beginner.

[@ickeausberlin36]

What if I was an old beginner?

[@michaelhenderson9412]

Lack of obstacle avoidance is an issue for a beginner. I was semi-experienced when I bought my Air, and the avoidance sensors have saved me at least twice.

[@ventea20]

i'm definitely buying this when it's out in the market. It's in the right price range for me! this was very helpful!

[@FlytPath]

Happy flying nic

[@PyroSarge]

Me too I'm glad I didn't buy a spark now.

[@ElectricPylon]

Great review. Thank you. Can someone please explain why the remote controler has the screen BELOW the buttons? Surely it makes sense to have the screen above the buttons, given the fact your eyes are likely to be alternating between the drone and the screen. With the screen below the buttons you have to look a lot further down than if it was at the top of the controler. I notice all controlers are like this, so there must be a good reason.

[@videoforlife9001]

I just ordered Mavic mini - my first drone. Thank you for the video. It help me alot to understand the functionality of DJI mini.

[@KenRico]

Really Helpful & Informative. I was doubtful at first before checking out my order. Now after watching this, I'm really buying Mavic Mini now as my first ever drone. Thanks a lot! SUBSCRIBED and LIKED. God bless and more power!

[@chausnicholson7193]

This video helped me learn about the mavic mini and pushed my decision to purchasing one! Thank you!

[@gordboyko769]

No follow me mode, and no avoidance sensors makes it a no go for me . I realize they have to make some sacrifices somewhere for the lower price and keeping it under 250 grams ... but I’d rather have a shorter flight time (smaller batteries) then not having the sensors etc . You can always buy extra batteries to increase flight times . You really don’t need 30 min continuous flight for most applications. I rarely fly my Mavic longer then 10 minutes to get some nice video footage or some pics . It wouldn’t be a big deal to have to land and swap batteries for more fly time .

[@TheNightstalker80]

That was exactly my thought ... but if you think about it it's clear why they did that. One thing is the weight as you mentioned and this is a very critical point nowadays because there are limitations for drone (I still prefer Multicopter) flyin' almost everywhere around the world. Another reason is the price, of course, they wanted something for beginners so it has to be lightweight (to avoid most legal issues) and cheap. But it also has to compete against a ton of cheap toys that are marketed with tons of nonsense features that are very attractive to beginners for some reason ;-) 399 bucks is still a high price but today I think most beginners who are really interested in drones know DJI and will definetely go for it if the price is attractive enough. I think 200-250 would be better in that case but since it's brand new we might see the price drop a bit after some moths. There's also another problem DJI woule run into if they had added more sensores and features - all their other drones! Yes exactly, why would you buy a Spark or the Mavic Air for 500-800 bucks if the Mini can do all the things for just 399? I wouldn't. So they had to cut things here and there, best example is the App (features), with the Spark you have all the features but lower res, if you want higher resolution you have to upgrade to the Air which is the next higher price category (makes sense for an UPgrade). If you don't need the app features you can get the Mini but you'll still loose sensors so it's a step downwards in any case but therfor it's cheaper. So I think the MM sould not sit between Spark and Air, that's not the truth in my opinion, it should sit befor or "on" the Spark because that's more what it is, kind of a replacement entry level drone for the Spark. It makes sense because now the "Mavic" line is more complete than ever and with the Spark leaving there's only the Ryze Tello which doesn't fit but this is not a "real" DJI drone and marketed quite different so I think we can get away with that ... :-)

[@rodrickewing4824]

I think alot of consumers / potential consumers get caught up in the hype of premium specs.. Nice to say I have 4k / all the gear no idea type situation.. It boils down to are you a professional film maker / cameraman Do you have the equipment and ability to compress down scale edit 4k and if you do do you really need that level of quality... For most it is like professional and SLR cameras replaced by decent quality point and shoots to now most people using their cellphones.. Practical easy of use and easy to carry around with adequate quality... For the average Joe soap out there that wants to carry around a flying camera to capture great memories, scenery from holidays and trips from a different angle and have some fun flying a little drone around this thing will do more than enough and more.. Ease of use Decent (most people don't watch higher resolution than this) quality video and photo quality and 25-30min flight time (you may not need that much time but you don't have to worry about it losing power in the middle of nowhere).. Take your card out and play it directly on your laptop TV or phone.. That's what this is.... I think it is way more than a toy.... 4km distance with 2.7k video footage is hardly a toy.. Great job DJI.. A product that actually makes sense for the masses that aren't worried about who has got the biggest.. But worries about practical daily application

[@cedricvillalobos8633]

I want to do range test that’s why I need flight time

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Great video man. Extremely in-depth!

[@kapt980]

Looks like my spark replacement is here. I really love my Spark but the 1080/30fps cap is sometimes annoying when you want smoother images. The price is right and feature-wise it's in the right place to me.

[@GPYCROFT]

I was very tempted but no raw format option is a disappointment, and you mention no active tracking, I was to use this for my cycle rides, but if it cant follow me then I don't see how I can use this. Pity

[@jdnort6]

I may be wrong, but that is something that might become available in a future firmware or software update? I think it would be at least possible for them to add that feature

[@GPYCROFT]

Jefferson Norton I agree it sounds like a SW modification but why didn't they install this from the start. I can't see it would impact size or weight

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Hey Aldryn, excellent first look at the DJI Mavic Mini. This drone will be a hit for the upcoming holidays for a starter drone or for those looking for an ultra-small travel drone. I think DJI nailed it for pricing, especially with the combo pack, affordable for young and old alike. As always, Aldryn, excellent first look review, I figured you had your hands on this Drone with an NDA, LOL! I’ll be watching for your upcoming video reviews on this new mini drone, take care!

I will be buying one very soon. For $700 CAN, you could probably easily make that investment back in a week doing aerial video and photography for real estate. I've been working with real estate guys doing video for them for the past several months, and this thing will definitely allow me to offer more value to my clients. Starting around $200 for a drone shoot, you could recoup your investment in a weekend. Can't wait to get one and start flying! Thanks for the awesome video my dude. God Bless 😎

@@gosman949 It's like you need a very basic car to learn how to drive, not a new generation Mitsubitshi with forward collision mitigation, so does the airplane pilot that always use a basic trainer aircraft to begin, not a Jumbo 747 with auto pilot. Beginner drone pilot need to understand about a lot of the drone mechanism manually, including flight characteristic and the physics, without any basic knowledge, even obstacle avoidance wont save the drone from the crash. Moreover, mavic mini is a lot smaller, cheaper, and the weight make it almost indestructible with protective propeller guard installed.

[@tangelone2164]

I know that this is going to sound like a rather trite question. Actually I have 2 questions. The first being this. What reasonably priced tablet is compatible with the Mavic Mini drone. I DO NOT want to buy another mobile phone for the sole purpose of flying this drone. I am considering purchasing a mac mini 4 or 5 or a refurbished mac pro as I can use the tablet to run Procreate and to perform other tasks that I cannot perform on a mobile phone. That all having been stated, should I opt to buy a tablet that has WIFI only or should I opt for a tablet that also offers cellular. My carrier who is NOT the best is Metro PCS. Furthermore if I were to purchase a tablet with the WIFI and cellular option would I incur charges with my carrier if I use the tablet to fly the Mavic Mini. I greatly appreciate your knowledge and expertise. Your videos are A-1 and I am now a subscriber. Can you suggest tablets that are compatible with the Mavic Mini. I presently own an LG K40 Android phone running Android 9. I don't see my phone listed in the list of compatible devices. I am unsure as to whether my current Android phone would be compatible with the Mavic Mini running the DJI software which requires 64 bit architecture. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. I will try to keep comments and questions more succinct. Cheers.

Great review man 👍 do you think Dji is going to have Active track features or maybe a Firmware update.

[@LouisLuzuka]

Aj I have a question, there's no active track or no manual features, u know I had the spark for 1 year living in Canada , now people are selling their mavic pro 1 and the mavic air for cheap around the same price as the mavic mini should I get those ones and just study for my license or what should I do? I'm not a beginner but I just wanna fly again! I didn't like WiFi on the spark and I don't care about 4k I film in 1080 but I'd love to get your opinion, I just notice alot of sales going on it might be worth it or should I just save for a mavic zoom XD I just miss flying so much since I sold my spark in August!!

[@ajalvarez1387]

Louis Luzuka Thanks for your comments to be honest with you I will just get the Mavic Mini the regulation in Canada is crazy. Just hold on for a bit I have a feeling Dji is going to do firmware updates and adding Active track! I’m sure and more maybe it’s going to have fixed wing mode!😎👍

[@sandeepmalagiofficial6700]

Can I use it to shoot scenery or may b any nature kind??

[@sdushdiu]

sandeep malagi official why not? Noise might be a factor spooking wildlife, but if the camera meets your needs, (and the noise is not an issue) it would seem to be well suited for many such purposes.

Ordered it yesterday, its arriving Thursday! I’m so excited!

Can we control camera while flighing to take down; dawn shorts

[@FRFilming]

7:37 looks like the video of the Mavic Mini is the less smooth one. It seems a little laggy in comparison to the others, even the video of the Spark is smoother with just 30 fps...

[@Khatgs]

I’m going in Lappland in march, do you thinks it’s possible to fly with the cold weather ? Thanks

[@SynthAir]

Where I live, the winter is usually -15 to -25 Celcius. Would that be a problem?

[@donk18362]

It can be done but battery life will be a lot less and it’s not great for the batteries. I’m in the same climate and have flown in winter several times.

[@ronnel1322]

Flight time too is a very good thing from mini for a beginner pilot

[@rigsbyrigsby9493]

Hi thanks ,that's just what iam looking for but can I use android phone thanks again rigsby.

[@jordanwarne911]

I hope they add active track, manual video controls, raw, and dlog video in a firmware update.

[@FlytPath]

Would be nice but doubt it.

[@jetmartin9501]

Would be nice but I definitely wouldn't hold your breadth for ANY of those things

[@31577bowie]

@@FlytPath the spark does, you don't think DJI would not update this via a software update?

[@Ben-rz9cf]

well they're never going to add Dlog because they still haven't added that to the zoom. We really need a custom firmware community for DJI drones to help get past the factory kneecapping

Guards are for an interior use, right?

Vojtěch Kment nah it’s just a joke i used to use guards on my inspire 2

No active track, no sale. I can see myself using active track a lot. Is this something that DJI could add in a software update?

[@wheland44]

rjmlakota I never use active track, just learn to fly

[@TankTheSpank]

I think there is. I just seen a video where a person highlighted the face

Great video for a review of DJI Mavic Mini mate. I have a quick question. Sorry, I'm just lazy to find out or google it. Can we program in the app where it should go (within a restriction, it is like putting some points in the map, how high it can go, etc) and come back in the home based? Anyway, I will check your playlist mate . Thanks in advanced...

[@buzzthedrone857]

You can set a max height and distance from you. There are set home and fly home features, but you can not click on a map and have it fly there. If you were asking how high it can go I have a short video on my youtube channel on that showing the max height (it can be changed to go higher but you need faa approval first which I did not have lol)
