5 minutes to connect too! Spark was reliable but I'm tempted to upgrade to this!

Brought my memory back... Spark and DJI Air 1 were both ... terrible. They later steered away from that design and focused on larger expanded size and propeller diameter, which helps a lot for efficiency.

I’ve had four DJI drones. Starting with Mavic 2 Air. Great drone. Then the FOV, Mini 3 pro n Mavic 3 classic. DJI keeps out with newer and just a bit better. Are you chasing the newest and best? I’ve stopped and decided to make the best out of what I have.

I think the reason for the Mini 4K release (over the mini 2) is the C0 label and maybe remote id to make them more compliant with recent regulations? 🤷‍♂ Oh that and capture more market share from the low end drone space. 😆

[@born2bwildne744]

DJI offers up another great entry level drone! I have the Mini 2 - and I lament DJI's business decision to stop producing iOS based SDK kits. With iOS Litchi, I can plan Waypoint missions on either my desktop with the bigger screen or in the field, on my controller/phone. With iOS Maven, I can do GPS Follow Me and offer safe training flights to my grand kids with Maven's Geofencing feature. If my Mini 2 ever stops working, not sure what I will do. UGH...

[@devnol]

How is this any different from the original mini 2? That was also 4k. Did they just backtrack on the 2 SE and couldn't bring back the Mini 2 name because it would look old?

[@mrmurder75]

Hopefully dji release the SDK and the community can add in follow me mode.

[@O8WRx]

For those looking into drones, knowing how to use: Flying techniques (patterns, approach, etc), adjust proper settings for your filming area (iso, MP, etc), post production, among other things will help you a TON. It's the same concept as an experienced photographer can take amazing photos with a simple camera due to experience and knowledge. I learned on my mini 3, and when I found it's limits and started using it everyday, I upgraded to the mini 4 pro. If you don't have the budget though, don't worry, learn how to use the ones from the video. You will still have awesome shots and a lot of fun. Happy flying!

Hello. I just bought a Mini 3 for 380 bucks. Is it possible to connect FPV goggles somehow? Saw some video with an Amazon Firestick, but i dont think that works. I think u can connect goggles with the HDMI port to the controller, but only the one without a screen. Is that correct? Also which goggles can u recommend? Can u connect DJIs goggles too? I would love to be able to buy DJIs goggles and use them on the Mini 3, until i buy/upgrade to a FPV drone or a newer model. Still new to this and could use some help xD

Do you think that DJI will still sell you a care refresh plan if you buy it from Amazon? As long as you do it the way where they make you send a video that it flies and runs correctly?

[@ReneNieuwenhuis]

You don't have to do any of that. You can buy in 48 hour after activation, directly true the app of the dji website. Only AFTER the first 48 hours that 'video thing' is an option. Doesn't matter where you bay, the dji activation program is worldwide the same.

Does the mini 2 and mini 4k have the same batteries?

[@shb7772000if]

​@@ibrahimatcha509I'm sure they do.

[@plasticdope]

I got both, and can tell for sure that mini 3 is generally better. Beyond what the specs show, I really like the battery design that does not hurt my nails, and the quieter propellers. The flying feeling is actually better with the mini 2, small and easy maneuver like a beetle, while mini 3 is bucky like an suv. About litchi or other apps, well I’m not a power user so it’s just ok to have but not a must

[@tnh723]

Is there a cheap display you could use instead of a phone? My phone's screen is shot and so is the battery. Works great as a phone though. Wouldn't want to buy a new phone, just to use the Mini 4k.

[@WilliamDaugherty]

Lots of options. Anything running a recent Android or iOS operating system. I've used Samsung phones, iPhones, and iPads. Tablets requires a bracket to hold it on the controller, but it's a nice option, especially if you already have one. You should be able to pick up a relatively late model phone for cheap. FYI, I never use my primary phones for flying. Also an option: you can have the RC-N1 charge the phone while in use.

I'm trying to research the Mini 4k as a first buy due to price. I don't want to jump into a $1000+ drone out the gate so the $350 price, sure why not. There being no obstacle avoidance worries me but, meh. No follow me function is a downer also. is there a drone with these functions you could recommend that is a good price but not junk, for a beginner, please?

@@biggooseadventures From what I've been reading, it seems "The bill will only prevent the use of federal funds to purchase DJI drones and use by federal agencies." shouldn't have an affect on normal hobbyists. It could also prevent it from connecting to the internet but then again you wouldn't really need to do that ever. Can DL firmware updates on the sd and put into your drone. Also, it seems the bill has an extremely low % chance of actually passing. Saw under 10% somewhere but could be wrong.

For the Mini 4k its $36.00 a year or $59.00 for 2 years but do it within 48 hours of activation

[@Rivaboyz1987]

Basically they re named the mini 2 now the 4k as everyone’s buying the mini 2 over the mini 3 as the mini 2 se is only 2.7k so that’s now being discontinued witch is now why the mini 2 is now the 4k if anyone’s to upgrade it’s to the mini 4 pro with full obstacle avoidance so really there’s no place for the mini 3 pro at that price point you can buy the mini 4k fir £269 and have a 4k drone unless you want the obstacle avoidance then the 2 4k is the answer it’s even got follow me on the update so at this price point it’s a steal this drone
