DJI Mavic Mini vs Spark (Tested in strong wind)

[@GoZipper]

Great to see you posting! I have been thinking about you and Hong Kong. Prayers from the USA.

[@PunxTV123]

USA are just brainwashed from east lol. just like on philippines, the media on USA that philippines got full of killings even it's not, and we can't even watch the documentary without vpn.

[@JustMe-fg6mr]

Witch Doctor These days, brainwashing is a voluntary decision because news hits us on all directions. The matter is not the news or media itself, it is us: how we pick and choose what to believe.

[@gecko9409]

@@JustMe-fg6mr that's one of the most idiotic comments I've seen in a while. Brainwashing isn't a choice, by definition it's not voluntary. You also don't choose what you believe you just believe what you believe. You don't start the day and totally switch up your beliefs on the spot.

U really think there will be a Spark 2? I don't think so, I really thing this is just replacing the Spark line!

[@UMAHongKong]

DJI already discontinued the Spark

[@KandiKlover]

That's ashame, the spark is so cute.

[@CptAwilliamse]

Finally i got Mavic Mini, flown 20mins total already and loving every bit of it. Cheers from Philippines

[@codymaverick94]

Would be great if you can show some footage

[@CptAwilliamse]

Weather is bad lately, I’ll be posting some footages soon, tnx😀

[@AtokVlog]

Thats a good comparison test between two Dji's light aircraft. I just bought a Mini but has not tested flying in storng wind yet. After watching this video, you gave me some confident flying my mini at beaches .

[@feedsbrain]

I use DJI Spark and I can connect the remote to my phone (Android) using cable. There's one time when DJI release new firmware, it spoils the connection and you can't see the flight information on the app when using cable, but similar issue didn't happen if we connected using wifi. But then, DJI release the latest firmware update and including controller firmware to resolve this issue.

[@familyman8644]

Does it fly further now with the cable? Essentially they are the same radio. Im having trouble deciding on spark and mavic mini because my friend is selling spark hardly used with extra battery for 200. I know the mini has more range and flight time but a spark for 200 though

[@feedsbrain]

@@familyman8644 I think the valid reason for why we're using cable is not for extending the range but to have stable connection from controller to your phone. Although it may also impacts the range because now the radio is only use to connect to the drone instead of both to the drone and the controller.

[@kennethandres7734]

@@familyman8644 Distance mostly depends on the level of wireless congestion and the terrain. I've flown my Spark pretty far in a rural area with the cable connected to my phone. I don't trust the WiFi's reliability.

[@iddeegee]

7:28 that's a stupid decision not to have the sd card slot under that door. I've accidentally crashed my spark under the water 1.5 meters deep and it was there for about 1 minute. It was absolutely fine after I got it back and drying with a hairdryer... battery was OK, everything... I was shocked. I don't think the mini would survive this with such design.

[@cinqo7]

Your video is so good thank I’m going to buy a mavic mini right now

[@koushalsombarydoss9688]

You already bought?

[@mario75048]

Recommend fly more combo 100%

[@Optikification]

i have a mini combo and love it. Changed over from a phantom 3 SE and no matter what this guy says in Europe we do have issues with weight of drones. Under 250g is classed as a toy so not so restricted. My Phantom 3 SE was about 1300g which means registration and a course given by a specialist training center which costs quite a bit.

[@Infarlock]

3:18 always wondered what are those black and white stripes I don't have them on my mavic air

[@mrdev9843]

When you see those Zebra lines they indicate if scene is overexposed.

[@Heaven2015]

Hi there....good video..💪💪 from Malaysia

[@LasseBuck]

Get an OTG cable for connecing with your Spark controller. It is much more stable than WIFI.

[@cbenitez81]

Lok I also have a spark and I think it's even better in terms of features, and I think it's stronger than the mini. The battery life is optimized by you, I don't think it's a short time 10 to 13 minutes. In my country there are no limitations, you fly under your responsibility, The mini is excellent for countries where there are many limitations. Excellent video!

[@foffprod]

I like your videos more than the American youtubers I usually watch. And the accent makes the video so much better lol keep up the good content

[@1TW1-m5i]

I thought the exact same about the battery chamber when I got my mini. It really is like an aircraft cargo chamber

[@traderghost]

"It's so windy it's no point making my hair." This has me laughing so hard! Lok, you're the best!

[@Jai.zTechDomain]

excuse me, 8:45 can I pls have the fry more combo with my big mac? 9:31 I need a piss * I mean No Offence*

I had anxiety ngl when he was waving around the mini near the water , Love your videos Lok Love from tokyo!

[@harrynarciso7111]

For you Which is good to buy. Dji spark or Mavic Mini.

[@familyman8644]

Is the mavic mini alot better? Will i miss the auto follow and detector to avoid hitting objects

[@ftgm090_finsuth_]

Family Man You will be losing functionality of the follow me mode or as know as Active Track. This feature makes the drone follow you without having to control it. This feature could come in a future update but let’s hope for now. You will be also losing functionality of obstacle avoidance meaning if you are very close to a wall, you will be shipping it back for replacement which will make you bored and upset. I don’t know why they removed that feature but to make up for it you can order the drone along with the fly more combo which comes with propeller guards preventing damage. I would say the mavic mini is my go to choice because the Active track and obsticale advoidance is mostly forgotten by most drone flyers with drones that have those features. You can buy other drones if you want but if you are not eager in those two missed features I would recommend to buy the mavic mini.

[@brianbarria5178]

I owned the Mavic Air before and now the Mavic Mini. One biggest selling point for me is the Battery. Not having to fear that the battery might Bloat if stored for too long or used too much. Since the Mavic Mini is just 2x 18650 battery, I'm confident that it will last longer. I'm averaging at 27mins of flight per battery and i have 3 packs! I never owned a Spark but my friends do, their average flight time is about 13ish mins. That's like twice the flight time. Lastly, the cost of battery replacement is cheaper.

[@umutizgi]

Can DJI use the Mavic mini's front camera as an obstacle sensor?

[@najibm4693]

i'll keep my spark.. waiting for spark 2 or any equivalent

[@najibm4693]

[@PrasantCroissant]

love this video! thank you so much for entertaining and informational video. Really well-made, in-depth discussions, fun to watch and beautiful footage!

[@jeomaiduldulao6655]

Does the mini have tripad mode?

[@TheLokCheung]

It has a "CineSmooth" mode, which by the official definition sounds very similar to tripod mode indeed (they limit max speed and ascend/descend speed), but different to cinematic mode (slow acceleration/deceleration, slow rotation speed, longer braking distance). Tripod mode and CineSmooth mode are flight modes besides P and S modes (some basic flight modes), while cinematic mode is an intelligent mode (like an extra function on top of flight modes).

[@dodothebird2199]

[@gappong1898]

Clearly spark handles the wind much better due to its stronger motors. I will pick the spark over mini. Btw spark feel more premium

[@mechanicbeast6751]

Mini feels more premium

[@kishascape]

@@mechanicbeast6751 indeed. The spark also didn’t handle better.

[@malsmith475]

Thanks so much for this comparison video, I just got the Mavic mini but it freaked me out when I unboxed it . Apparently in Japan they only sell the 199gram version with reduced battery size, no wonder it was so cheap ! Anyway I hope you and your family are well and safe, I really enjoy your vids.

[@kishascape]

Japan stupid

[@bvngaming875]

Dji mavic mini vs dji spark which one is the best?

[@willworthoberg6818]

Really nice video! One thing though, I think that when the spark returns to home, it flies up to the assigned altitude and does a beeline for the home point. I think if it encounters an obstacle it runs into it. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks again!

[@Jathmustasa]

What is the best buy?

[@sashaweissman9131]

Greetings from the UK Lok. Keep up the good work. I really support the pro democracy campaigners in HK. For 99 years, under a British democracy lease, you had your freedom of speech, and much much more, despite two world wars. However, it was sad to see in 1997, China regain HK and a ceremony that I'll never forget. I watched it on TV. Keep smiling. I truly hope HK sorts itself out !

[@shaun9842]

Nice review! Been thinking about the mini because where I live we have the 250/g max weight restriction.

[@nyrubin]

I’m curios if it has anything to do with the protest

[@adimasguntur]

Ofcourse

[@aceak2396]

Does Mavic mini comes back when the battery is gone or there's a button to come back?

[@TheLokCheung]

Like other DJI drones, it gives you several stages of warning (it would also consider the distance and altitude to decide if it can come back safely). First is just a low battery warning, second warning trigger auto return home (but allow manual cancel), at last he battery in a critical low state when the drone will start descending because the batter is so low it could shut down any second, so it force you to do a control landing rather than drop out from the sky (you can still control it, you can keep it level, but can’t climb anymore) There’s a button you can push on the remote at any time that call it to come back automatically. As mentioned above it will also trigger auto go home at the second batter low warning. So yes it can come back before battery run out, unless you intentionally stretch it, or the battery is so old which te battery level is not correct anymore. But also keep in mind there’s a dangerous when it go home automatically, Mavic Mini fly a straight line to the home point and it won’t avoid obstacles in the way (like a tree). That’s what I’ve mentioned in the video that even the Spark can avoid obstacles.

[@pacific808]

Lok Cheung, you are a very likable guy. Funny and entertaining to watch haha i'm pretty surprised how stable both drones are in strong wind being such a small drone. If i were to choose i would pick the mini over the spark.

[@glockpoppin]

You actually can connect the phone to the Spark remote controller by microUSB or microUSB-Lightning cable :)

[@JoshFrStein]

Is that ce or fcc version of your mavmin?

[@mokujin29]

I feel the only thing going for mini is it is more portable in that the legs fold.

[@familyman8644]

I can get a spark with extra battery and case for 200 gently used off my friend so im having really hard time selecting the mavic mini or the spark

[@little_astro581]

[@xDudeHimSelfx]

Mavic Mini is an incredible piece of equipment. It is really good for the price. I own one and it's amazing!

[@GuyVinmara]

Spark flight time is too short for active tracking to be useful. I'd rather have longer flight time and 2.7K for a "toy drone". If active tracking is that important, better to invest in the Skydio drone, which specializes in that function.

[@kidlatngtacloban5615]

Finally Lok! Nice to see you are fine!

[@WillEDC]

Mini is crazy. I see people posting to sell their mavic pro to get one. What’s the range you have been getting with your CE model? My friend would get 200m at times and 1.2km over the water. Of course the FCC in USA has been amazing. It’s too bad it’s crippled outside the USA

[@TheLokCheung]

I didn’t test the range, but the furthest I’ve flown in this video was over 600m

[@jamespowerish]

Im flying a ce mini in Ireland. As long as i have decent altitude i can get up to 2 km range. Thats all i need

Rusni Semma i think it depends on your need if you are fine with that. From my point of view the Mini has the advantage of 3 axis gimbal and a little more portable. But I think If you gonna go from spark to mini it’s not really worth upgrading maybe aim for a higher tier drone like Mavic Air would be more substantial.
