This is a great video man! Very pleasing both on my ears and eyes - you're on screen presence is fantastic and makes me feel like I'd like to have a beer with you. Subscribed!

[@tombuck]

Ha, thanks man! 😎

[@IAMOG]

First time here, wanted to say that your channel is great :)

[@tombuck]

Thank you! Glad you’re here 😎

[@LouisLuzuka]

If you could pick one? I’m co:omg from a spark and I need my license in bc Vancouver Canada but some Mavic 1 or Mavic airs are $650 used and this is about $500 new but I’m torn

[@tombuck]

I haven’t used the Spark, but the Mini seems like an upgraded version. If you’re doing client work, I’d recommend the Pro for versatility of video features. Otherwise I’d recommend the Mini because it’s so easy and fun, which means you’ll use it more.

Hey man, first time here and ive watched 4 or 5 of your vids in a row, just picked up an EOSR a few hours ago and wanted to say that your channel is great! keep up the dope content!

[@tombuck]

I’m really glad to hear this, thank you! Hope you’re enjoying the R!

[@EricWen]

Super lucky wow! :) How fun!

[@tombuck]

It’s so much fun!

[@anthonycumberbatchjr9804]

Like the way you do you're vids... Keep it up.

[@tombuck]

Thanks Anthony!

[@cwTheDrummist]

Really great comparison. I'm thinking the Mavic Mini will be my first drone. Have you used any of the footage for client work?

[@tombuck]

So far I haven’t (I’ve only had it a few weeks). As long as you don’t need to do crazy color grading, it’s very usable. It’s really an awesome tool at a great price point. 👍

[@EverydayFamilyFL]

You beat me!!! I like to believe you and I were the finalists.... J/K.... Anyway, great video, as usual. Nothing but awesome content every time. Still rocking the Spark, and it gets it done for what I need. In 2020, the Mini is better for the price, but not a worthy upgrade for those of us with a Spark.

[@tombuck]

I’d like to thank all my fellow finalists- we stuck together through all the ups and downs 🥇 But really, it seems like the Mini is an upgraded Spark. I love the size!

[@joshzaring]

Haha man thats so awesome that you won it! Almost a year ago now I won a lens from him!

[@tombuck]

Oh nice! I rarely win things, so this was quite a shock.

[@DroneViral]

the mavic mini is not an upgrade to the mavic pro, but the mavic mini is awesome to!

[@tombuck]

It's shockingly on par with original Mavic Pro, especially with the newest firmware update. Really though, the entire Mavic lineup is so so good!

[@DroneViral]

The Enthusiasm Project i have them both and cleary the mavic pro is a better drone in many ways but i really like them both, the mavic mini is such a beast. i like the mavic pro better because of buildquality (offcourse), camera and many more things, so i use that for my yt channel and the mm i use it just for fun

[@DroneViral]

(Sorry for my bad English i live in the Netherlands :)

[@triggeredcheese1260]

Is this one, the one you got, the prototype one? That one is not as good.

[@tombuck]

I be;over it’s the regular full release version. It’s works great!

[@rockentry]

Ok, Leaving a comment. Hopefully, I accidentally win a drone too!

[@tombuck]

Haha, he always does cool giveaways. I just never tried to win one!

[@ShaneFix]

Haha, I never win! Good to know they're legit... and from Mr. Potato himself! Congrats. 😀

[@tombuck]

2 legit 2 quit 🎤✌🏻

[@randbaldwin]

The top speed of the Mini is 29mph, not 40. Not trying to pick on you, just think people should know accurate information.

[@tombuck]

Oops, I might’ve mixed up the spec with the original Pro, which is faster in Sports Mode. Thanks for pointing this out!

[@BeckersReviews]

He never gave me one... bad potato!!

[@tombuck]

He seemed like a sweet potato to me 🥔

[@BeckersReviews]

He didn’t even give me a 10 y.o camera that he used to attach to a flower pod... let alone a cool drone;)

[@heatherjustcreate]

BENNY!! 💜💜 Also you’re super cute 😘😘

[@tombuck]

I had to pay a lot for that cameo. He’s got a tough agent.

[@huexley]

main reason is : you desserve it

[@tombuck]

You know, I actually feel a little guilty because win sure there’s someone out there who had no way of getting one on their own- but I’m definitely using the heck out of it, so I hope that makes it ok 😬

[@huexley]

@@tombuck you share your knowledge all the time, empowering users. Thats reason enough !

[@tombuck]

Thank you for that, I appreciate the kind words! 😎
