DJI MAVIC MINI VS MAVIC AIR BEST DRONE FOR TRAVELLING?

[@gene877]

Wow dude , it's like asking my wife where to eat dinner lol

[@thegreatestoffools]

Forgot to mention sound. The mini is one of DJI's quietest drones vs. The air being one of their loudest.

[@WeTalkUAV]

I can assure you Dji Mavic Mini is not louder than the Air.

[@renceycaparas4047]

@@WeTalkUAV you just agreed to what he said.

[@xzces]

The air one of their loudest? How many dji drones have you heard?? It's my most quiet dji drone (others being the mavic pro, inspire 1 and antique phantom 2)

[@Kayshots]

Not at all. The mavic mini is way noisier then the Mavic pro. My neighbours had it and it has LOTZ of noise. My friend has a mavic pro and not too much ossound

[@garyjaques4821]

I think you are all missing the point! The mavic mini fits in the market perfectly! it's not aimed at professional photographers they already have drones for that. it's aimed toward people who just want a very portable easy to use drone to take pictures and videos and share them to social media ie Facebook & Instagram, there is no need for it to take 4k videos as 90% of the footage will only be viewed on mobile phones. Why would somebody buy a drone that's 4 times the price of the mini 4 times the size and 4 times the weight just to have a drone that they are just going to take pictures and videos that the have no idea how to edit etc. You can tell this with how they have designed the new dji fly app where you can upload the footage directly from your phone. There is a massive gap in the market for a drone like this and dji will sell millions of these units. FACT

Correct. For the vast majority of the people (probably including you too) there won't be too much of a difference if correctly filmed and edited on yt

[@o_laparoto]

That is a fair point. For KZbin and most amateur drone pilots the Mavic Mini will be an amazing option. The biggest differences are the quality of the footage (RAW+4K) and wind resistance? You know that battery is going down fast with with any kind of wind.

[@madedigital]

jeremy mayhew this drone doesn’t step on the toes of the Air, or any other it for personal content creation travel and new users.

[@rsilvers129]

No SDK for the Mini, so can't even fly it with waypoints.

[@BeckersReviews]

Here is the best thing about mavic mini: it shows how much dji will improve the mavic air 2 or whatever it ll be called. My wishlist: less and lower pitched noise along with Ocusync level of connection. A better battery life will happen anyway so no need to mention that.

[@o_laparoto]

AMEN!

[@chepola]

[@DonMrLenny]

[@acreageliving]

the weight you give to the mini, but that is one reason I am going for the air. i understand your reasoning for the regulations. But when you get in that sky, its windy up there, and that 249grams doesnt handle the wind very well.............to me is a point for the AIR

[@smokey62productions99]

In the U.S if you’re Part 107 Certified you have to register all your UAV anyway. Also wether you fly for a hobby or professionally you have to follow all of the same FAA regulations a Mavic Air would except Hobbiest save $5 not having to register the Mini. But...I think this drone is MUCH better for Canadians who now have the strictest rules

[@Time2FLYAlDiaz]

Deacon B you nailed it!

[@andrewandron7087]

Mavic Mini also gets a point for noise level. Quieter and less whiny.

[@WeTalkUAV]

Not sure... It has a high pitch that is a bit annoying.

[@andrewandron7087]

WetalkUAV - Hosted By Alex Assenmacher I’ve seen 2 sound tests done on it and the sound meters plus our ears proved that it was much quieter and better than the air and also quieter and less annoying than the Spark. The decibels were nearly as low as the Mavic 2. The sound, of course was whinier than the Mavic 2 though.

[@airtravel8006]

Air 👍🏻👍🏻

[@EmanuelBatista85]

For me, I like more the Mavic mini, more for the flight time and travel size. I never used 4k because is very heavy and I have a phantom 4. 2.7k is enough for me

[@WeTalkUAV]

Yeah! 4k does not meant perfection either! :) thanks for watching!

[@uqrising8292]

You can get a Mavic air fly more combo used on ebay and such for around 500-600 dollars

one thing which ruined mavic mini is obstacles sensors. . . if they fit obstacles sensor in mini this will be the highest ever selling drone.

[@rodrickewing4824]

The heading of the video "BEST FOR TRAVELLING" This was more a spec vs spec shootout which we could read off the internet Surely when we compare best for travelling we need to assess the specs for the application and then the need thereof... 4K 100MBPS is this needed for travelling? Is it needed for majority of our daily / normal use Personally I dont think so When we travel we want something portable Something that is point and shoot and something that gives us ease of use and good quality Lack of on board storage..so what? Everyone puts in a large enough micro sd card anyway ...If you forget it Well then thats your fault All i hear or read about is the mini doesnt have 4k 100mbps Only shoots in 2.7k 40mbps Most people never use all these premium specs and really want to just fly a drone and capture the moment they are in and watch it in the easiest format possible What I do see is a very small piece of technology that can fit in your pocket fly for 26-30min which is approximately 45% more flight time than the MAVIC AIR shoots video in 2.7k at 30fps which is more than enough quality for most applications or purposes takes decent photos and can fly out to 4km and costs less than half of the air which flies for almost half the time and has a bunch of features and qualities that most people will never use or wouldnt even know how to use or edit Yes it doesnt have a few of the features of the air and pro etc like sensors but lots of users switch these off , and a few of the trick apps but like cellphones most people never use majority of these little functions anyway..Maybe for the first few flights but after that use the basic functions..For me the only real downside of this is the lack of follow me What I would like to see is a comparison based on average every day users to see if all the premium specs are actually used in real world and how much quality and how many functions are really needed for day to day use by average users

[@Kayshots]

No. They are both compact foldable drones.

[@martinezq1]

If you talk about travelling - Mavic air have gestures, group selfie, tracking so you not need take controller for quick shots on the road. Even you not need smartphone.

[@magusonline]

The information is conveyed nicely. But it would have been even better to just have a chart comparing the two, so I don't have to flip back and forth between segments to see the pros/cons again.

[@DDL-n2u]

This is spot on. I have a Mavic Air and I’ve been tempted before to look at other options after my history of the OG Phantom, Phantom 2, Mavic Pro etc but I’ve never been disappointed with the footage or experience on my Air.

[@NFS-shade]

There should not be the question of quality on photos and video on Air. The mini is for casual users to share media to app like fb, insta and easy to carry and also 249g means users are not required to register under aviation law.

[@TVNetworld]

The mavic air has Wifi connection not Osync. How about the Mini? how ist the remote connected?

[@CLAYNPOTTER1]

For traveling, I agree smaller is better, but I think Mavic Mini does not have crash avoiding sensors like Mavic air (front and back). I gave up on DJI since they forced firmware upgrade on my P4 (won't let me use DJI app unless I update firmware), and failed ruing the firmware update. DJI said I have to pay to fix the failed firmware - I only flew 5x and the P4 was working fine until forced firmware update that failed.

[@lesspainlesss]

...will it be possible to change to FCC mode from CE??

[@michaelryan1767]

Seriously considering getting the Mini as an upgrade from my Spark. The battery life and price are what does it. $800AUD for the Mini as compared to $1600AUD for the Air is a big deal for me, and I'm only going to be using it for KZbin. And half an hour battery life? Definitely worth it.

[@kevinevans651]

Thanks for sharing - your videos are always exceptional - keep up the great work folks!

[@svendura1]

Drones are not beloved everywhere. So one important argument for the Mavic Mini is it's relative quiet noise. I cannot accept the Mavic Air's aggressiv sound, that makes everyone around turn their heads. You didn't even mention noise, which is a clear and important argument for the Mini.

[@cstromquist]

Agreed. This is a huge point.

[@77janeck]

What is also important to me, Mini is not so noisy and you can charge its battery with the power bank using two- way charging hub. Charging battery in a backpack and flying your drone at the same time is a big advantage when you travel.

[@blazedimitrov626]

cool video bro.. i think i ll go for the MINI in NYC .... btw i like your hand wrist-let ... my dad gave me the same for my birthday with catholic cross on it and stone ...not sure if urs is the same but seems cool !

[@ianjoc00]

i miss Girona! was there 4 years ago! great video... though some people are saying the Mavic Mini's video is a tad sharper than the Air's even if it has less mbps. is that right? or Air still has better video quality?

[@Skap91]

Just got my mini today, been doing some research contemplating if I should spend the little extra and just get the air, what y’all think.

[@jacobsmithyy9761]

I am choosing the Mavic mini because of the battery life because I don’t want to start getting my video shot and then have to land and change the battery

Great video! Did you film it in Girona?

[@kumarankush8615]

Yup.

[@pietrekBWA]

What about the flying distance? I heard somewhere that the mavic mini has problems with flying over 30m in big cities with a lot of wifi interruptions. Is it true? If positive, that is a big problem in my case...

[@BL-zw5oi]

pietrek_ bwa this only happens if you leave the connection frequency in auto. If you select a channel manually, at least for me, it goes away

[@pietrekBWA]

KING TUT so how far away at most did you fly in the city and on open space?

[@BL-zw5oi]

pietrek_ bwa that’s a tricky question because if you mean flying around and in between high rises that are densely stacked, that’s different than flying around cities with a lot of wifi but has lower buildings. Occusync will always be better than wifi and neither the air nor mini have occusync so I expect equal performance from them. In Atlanta I have gotten up to a mile out in the city without disconnecting and that is straight out above trees and buildings. I don’t typically find the need to fly further away. The mavic air is better than the mini. Hence the price difference. But it’s photos are slightly less sharp than the mavic one. If you plan to fly mostly in and around cities I would recommend either the mavic 1 or mavic 2 zoom. I would opt for the first mavic because it has portrait mode which is really good for photos of buildings. Just my 2 cents

[@madedigital]

The mini price and quality video is great for personal use, if you have a good drone already ie Anafi the mavic mini is great to just run with all over town it’s not for pros it’s the step up from the spark users and the spark image looked great...I think it’s a winner I have the Tello I want to replace it as my new small drone.

[@nicolascamus4255]

What about the noise, wich I think it's important too, is there a difference between these two ?

[@SouthpawBluesman]

Also if you want the 30 minutes flight time, that battery will take the weight over 250g, even if you use the small battery (only 18 min flight time) if you add an sd card and a sticker you are over weight. If you add the prop guards, then you're over weight. Also, being so small visual line of sight will be around 200m, a useless product aimed at gathering money for DJI and nothing else

[@jaysun070476]

Will they add manual shutter speed controls to mavic mini? What about nd filters. I shoot in 2.7 k anyways lol its a perfect balance of picture quality and keeping your files sizes smaller.

[@chepola]

AIR 100mbps vs MINI 40mbps, but MINI is new... can be a new sensor too?? with low noise and more bit color.

[@Dynamic3DLtd]

100mbps @ 4k vs 40mbps @ 2.7k is a lot. The youtube argument is not the best because if something is captured in native in higher quality, when its compressed in youtube its still better. Air does raw photos too, not sure if mini does. Most people even pros deply their videos via youtube. You generally need higher quality bit rate in drones to capture things like trees, grass, foliage, and not having a 4k device going into 2020 is not good. To put this into perspective, go pro 3+ from 6+ years I had on my phantom 2 was doing 2.7k at 60 MBPS. So my phantom 2 drone from 2013 would get better video than you guys will get in 2020? It still a great drone and plenty good enough for a lot of people, but when you consider the images and videos you capture could last a life time, don't you want to make sure that you're actually capturing with a decent quality? I would rather buy a second hand mavic air. I been using my spark for 2 years and its been flawless. DJI make good drones these days. Don't be afraid of buying a good second hand one. Its great drone, but at this stage in my drone life, I won't touch anything less than 100mbps.

Not really a tie. The options you can do with a Air is much more, example follow mode. Mini is still not a bad drone. But this is not really a tie.

[@Infarlock]

Well, less weight doesn't mean it's better as it can't resist stronger winds like the mavic air does (Would be cool to test it, just be careful if you will) Also in most of the world there's a limit on KG, barely any countries that limit you on grams. Price is obvious, mavic mini has less stuff compared to the air It's kinda like comparing a 5KG washing machine to a 10KG one Both of these drones have been made for completely different audiences In the end like you've said it's the user's choice to decide, it's just unfair that they both got 8-8, it's like the video was made to make the mavic mini look better, but it has major downsides, which people might not understand if they get the mini over the air or the air over the mini.

[@Cartexcel]

The main issue for me to prefer Mavic Air is the sensors. Imagine when you lose visuals of the drone [which happens a lot] and give "Return To Home" and without sensors it can just bump in to a tree or a building and you lose the entire drone. The RAW photoshoot is another major difference not addressed in the video, which Mavic Mini does not have.

Is that the reason? Would you have a solution? Thank you! (sorry for the translation, it was done with google)

I just got my pilot drone license (basically burocratic stuff, the exams are a joke) and I'll get this as my first ever drone. I was looking into something cheap I could use to practice, and living in a city as I do, this drone is perfect to train without risking getting caught by authorities or having to deal with permissions. Also size is perfect to take pictures or videos with my gf when we travel around.

Are those the Spanish steps in Rome behind you?

That may be, BUT you can't fly there!
