I used to watch you a while back in your P3S videos when you used to use it! You should definitely do the Phantom 3 vs the Magic Mini

[@georgekritikos6342]

For sure we want a comparison vid.

[@jonciusss4891]

Yaaaaayyy, new video, and its mavic mini ;), you inspired me to get p3s and inspiring to get mavic mini

[@brennen4508]

Do a phantom 3 video

[@albertomendozaa]

Hello Carson, It would be nice if you could explain what raw pictures are and why are a good thing to have. Thanks

[@carsonmtech]

I'll definitely add that to the backlog of video ideas...Thanks for checking out the video!

[@sicringle629]

Really cool video, mate. Nice work. Mine is in the post and looking forward to getting in to this as a hobby. Stay safe out there

[@stevedawson1706]

It's is definitely not loud. It's so quiet I can fly in the house without waking my wife up. I have had the magic mini for a month now just did antenna mod with the Hawk 14 dbi panel antenna . I just ordered my second Mavic mini it's a awesome drone.

[@carsonmtech]

Wow! Your wife must be a heavy sleeper. I get that this isn’t the loudest drone out there, but it’s absolutely NOT quiet, especially if you’ve heard DJI’s low noise propellers on newer drones. I haven’t heard much about that mod myself yet since I just got this, but interesting!

[@canadainboy24-graeme91]

God damn ur getting better with theses Videos man I love it

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you!

[@CaliKim29]

Fantastic video. what a blast to watch you fly the new Mini--and I come from the ol' 3 Standard myself so this was of particular interest to me! Great work, keep it up!

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you you two! I appreciate the constant support you give this channel. If you’re interested in an upgrade from that, this may be your key!

[@cstyles]

Carson you know i want a comparison video!!

[@carsonmtech]

Alrighty I’ll make on just for ya! :-)

[@RoccoGermani]

Great review! It looks like a great drone for beginners and those who wish to fall under the 250g zone for certain countries. Recently I upgraded to the Autel Evo from my Spark and I'm loving it!

[@carsonmtech]

Yes absolutely! Also, man haha that’s like one of the first drones I ever saw at Best Buy but nice!

[@RoccoGermani]

@@carsonmtech yeah the Evo is a great drone, not than many people know about it and honestly I think it holds up against the new Mavic's very well

Yes, please make more videos about the DJI Mavic Mini! I just received mine a couple of days ago, and I love it! This is my first high-quality drone, my last one, which I got last Christmas, was the Contixo F22. This Mavic Mini blows the Contixo out of the water! Thank you, and looking forward to more videos on this drone. Gary

Hey Jerry! Long time no see :). So awesome to hear how many people I was able to inspire into flying drones themselves. If you’re in need or interest of an upgrade, this just may be it!

[@jerrysifuentes5012]

@@carsonmtech - I still fly my P3S a few times a month and it's quite a chore getting everything together w/ 2 or 3 extra batteries. So when I saw that little case for the mini, it made me glad I never dropped $1200 for a Mavic. ,PS: I don't need no stinkin' prop guards.

[@carsonmtech]

Lol, I agree, the prop guards are very much a gimmick to myself as I only ended up flying with them for like 5 minutes and then realized I didn't want to fly with them anymore. Still cool DJI included them though in the FMC! Having a smaller drone to take around with you is definitely a fantastic means to keep yourself active in flying!

[@OMGExploring]

Great video keep considering buying on of these.

[@327journal]

North Mountain...one of my favorite hikes. If you had flown it several hundred or so feet to the west you could’ve captured the ruins of an old burned down restaurant called Cloud 9.

Do you know anything about when the DJI Mavic 3 will be released? I heard some gossip.

From the rumors that I've heard, I would presume that it will be announced or subtly released by no later than late February. I am very much looking forward to its release so I can add that to my drone lineup :)!

Dont talk down to the spark. The spark is a tank, has obstacle avoidance , a truly awesome drone. I will keep it over a bump in resolution. Has way way more features, and just a better drone all around. But Solen its smaller. Get a big boy back pack, I carry all my drones all in one bag!

[@H.pylori]

Love your enthusiasm and clarity. Just got my drone and the DJI mini series is very helpful in getting me started.

[@lindamessick9853]

If you can get the FLY MORE (people who are buying.) You won't regret it. You probably will if you get the basic, I bought the basic but for a 100 more bucks what you get is awesome. Carson Miller you are a smart dude of course you would buy the Flymore.

[@m4ckenziedc]

Hey here's another thank you for your awesome channel! Also I've got a question... I live pretty far north and in the winters the temperature can get to -50 Celcius... Sorry bro IDK imperial cuz I'm from northern Ontario lol IS IT SAFE to fly in super cold conditions like that?

[@carsonmtech]

You’re good! I would not fly the Mavic Mini in anything less than -17C, even that is pushing it. NONE of DJI’s drones that I know of are capable of flying in conditions that cold, unfortunately. It really just comes down to batteries and how slow electrons move in the cold and then the motors are underpowered. Hope this helps! Edit: is it safe? Absolutely not in that environment. The drone likely would not even power on and stay on.

[@m4ckenziedc]

@@carsonmtech lol thanks i guess i will be waiting for spring to try it out then

[@Dirol]

Hey Carson, thank you for your Content. It helped me alot to understand my new drone. I also like your compilation and what I most like are the transitions between the clips. Would you tell me which transitions you use or where i can get those ? Greetings from Germany !

[@carsonmtech]

Thanks a lot Dima! I appreciate your support :). The transitions that I use are from the creator here on KZbin, Ryan Nangle...give him a look up. I bought a mega pack that contained ALL of his transitions, generators, etc. for Final Cut Pro X last year when he had a black friday sale of something like 40% off. Hope this helps!

[@Dirol]

@@carsonmtech great, thanks for the quick answer :)

[@n9oqu]

They should offer different colored replacement covers for it. If you paint it you might go over 250 grams.

[@carsonmtech]

I agree! They likely don’t want to make another Spark though so they probably would never considering it’s the Mavic series. Who knows, they may offer an “Alpine White” like they did with the Mavic Pro a couple years ago. However, I don’t see that making ease of seeing any better. It would be nice to have different color variants though!

[@JayHarman]

5:34 , it may be simple to put the battery in but what if you crash the drone? Surely it will fly out of the drone !

[@Patriotbattery63]

[@BiggameTechJourney]

KZbinr test dB on mini and platinum mini lower dB I feel mini is quiet. Great review and video.

[@mitchellnicolai7760]

I also have one question for you I have heard the the drone itself feels cheap. Is this true? Does it not feel like a $500 drone? Did Djibouti cheap out? Like I know it’s all about the weight but does it completely compromise the build quality.

[@derekquinones8614]

Your videos are awesome I just got my zoom in the mail yesterday sold my mavic pro and got the zoom !! What’s your favorite drone to date?

[@carsonmtech]

Good choice! I personally would like to update to the M2Pro, but still the Zoom has its place! My favorite drone to date that I've flown probably is the M2Pro, but that's just because its camera is astounding! For convenience and what I find myself using a ton recently, it has got to be the Mavic Mini. It's just so convenient to take with you anywhere you want, has amazing photo quality, and the video quality ain't half bad either. In saying that though, I'm typically one to shoot everything in 4K (I love 4K & above), but I know a lot of people typically shoot in 1080p, in which case the Mavic Mini has got to get my recommendation fully in that case!

[@derekquinones8614]

[@rogue_angel]

How are you recording your audio without being drowned out from the noise from the drone?

[@carsonmtech]

Welllll, I recorded the audio with a wireless lav that was connected to my Panasonic G85 off to the left (you can see it in the video if you look close enough) and then I adjusted the EQ in Final Cut to cut out the noise of the Mini

Are these drones really that reliable? Has any of your drones randomly shut off mid-air?
