Get the fly more. Especially if you are beginner (like me). You have extra props for any “unexpected landings” I call them. Also just FYI folks, after the drone is up and running, you ONLY HAVE 48 HOURS to decide whether or not to get the insurance, just throwing that out there too. Great video sir!

[@bedrascal]

Yep, I definitely went for the combo, it just makes sense

[@jaykay6412]

I disagree. I dumped my mavic pro and air, dumped the Fuji xt2, dumped the tech backpacks etc, and waited for the mini 2 for the sole reason of portability while one bag traveling. I now can keep my mini 2, GoPro 8, Fuji xt20 (w 2 lenses) all in one Tenba byob insert. Fits in my minaal 2.0 carry on with all my clothes and toiletries. Pull the tenba out in new city and I’m off for the day. If anything I’d just get one more battery but for most of the time I’ve never needed one. I find myself capturing more footage when I’ve got everything in one little tenba. Goes everywhere w me. Call me crazy. I know YMMV but my mileage didn’t involved fly more combo

Oh it was absolutely worth it in my opinion. I would like to add that I am extremely impressed with the video quality. It is such a joy to fly that even though the batteries last 25+ minutes, the 3 batteries in the Fly More Kit are a must.

[@themastereal8345]

only need 2 in my opinion, with a decent power bank with quick charge enabled, the battery recharges in about a hour which isn't the duration of the flight time but good enough for me 👍

[@davidmchutchison3041]

There's no question that the Fly more Combo is good value when compared against the price of the individual extra parts. The real questions are over the choice of what extras are included. If these are extras you want, it's clearly good value. If it's extras you don't want, or if extras you do want are not included then its value is more questionable. The extra batteries, props, screws, and the charging hub are no-brainers. However, as a newcomer to drones who was close to buying the original Mini when the Mini 2 was announced, I'm feeling conflicted. The prop guard is important to me so I can start off with some very simple indoor flying where I imagine fitting the guard would be very wise! (I do appreciate that it puts the drone over 250g so, without registering in the UK, cannot legally be used outdoors, and I also understand that for experienced flyers a guard might be superfluous.) Admittedly it's just an additional £19 but it's disappointing that the Mini 2 Fly More Combo does not include it when the original Combo did. Add to that, here the Combo costs £40 more for the Mini 2 than it does for the Mini, so I feel like I'd be paying more for something that gives me less., which irks. Initially, I was disappointed that the neat wee case with the original Mini is being replaced by the larger shoulder bag. However, I've noted opinions, and there is also the fact that the controller is now a bit larger, so I'm coming around to that change. By changing what's included in the Combo and increasing its extra cost, did DJI consider that they might be annoying some people, or do they just not care about that? It does feel a bit manipulative, especially now that I hear about spare batteries being unavailable unless opting for the Combo. I now have to decide (on a tight budget) if an extra £140 (plus £19 for the prop guard, so really an extra £159) is worth it for the improvements in the Mini 2. I'm not likely to fly far enough, or close enough to obstacles, for the extra range of the Ocusync 2.0 to be a big plus, but it would still provide some peace of mind. Improved ability in windier conditions is a plus, especially where I live. The video improvements probably won't make any difference to the project I have in mine, though I might end up regretting it later. As a photographer, RAW files are very desirable. (I'd love the Mavic Air 2 for the still and video capabilities but it's just too much for my budget, and over the 250g limit of course.) Decisions, decisions!

[@HalfChrome]

The occusync is a huge difference if you ask me. Good luck.

[@murphyandmurphybrand]

As a beginner, I’m glad I got the fly more package. By the time you get the drone up and practise a few shots it’s time to come back down (giving yourself enough time). I’ve used at least 2 batteries ever find I’ve been out. I think it would have been super frustrating to pack up after 1 battery. Also it’s nice to have the case and charger.

[@ob882]

so not even 20mins of flight?

[@murphyandmurphybrand]

@@ob882 I’m exaggerating the point. Bare in mind the drone wants to return when down to 20% battery and starts beeping. It’s just hardly worth driving somewhere to get a drone shot if you’ve only got one battery. You won’t nail a video shot first time, it takes a bit of flying around to position for the shot you want so if you’re planning on getting a nice amount of interesting footage, you need the extra batteries. Often 2-3 is limiting enough. And charging time is pretty slow.

[@themastereal8345]

​@@murphyandmurphybrandcharging time isn't slow your charger is slow. use a power delivery enabled power bank and a capable charger and it will charge in only 1 hour or so, I do agree that 1 is too little but 3 is excessive since you can use 1 then charge it for 30 minutes while using the second one and only wait 30 minutes until it charges again

The costco bundle ($439) gives you a lot (drone, extra battery, extra props, sd card, and a bag) for less than the standalone price. If you have a membership, you might give this a look. You can add the extra pieces you want and get in for less.

[@kreator-ys1yz]

It is now going for $379.

[@LucWijdeveld]

I have the Mavic Mini. Have already seen some reviews about the Mini 2. See no reason to buy the Mini 2 as a replacement for the old Mavic Mini. You do if you don't have a 249 gram drone yet. The new EU drone rules are known and the 249 gram drone could become a hot item. From 250 grams you have different A classes where you have to obtain certificates, the A1 via on-line course, the A2 and more via correspondence course. That is quite a lot of money and starts from 99 euros. This Mini 2 is a great success, thanks to the exemption from registration and certificates.

[@superslimanoniem4712]

I'm pretty sure you have to register any non-toy drone in the EU though, I haven't checked in a while.

[@alanjm1234]

Definitely go for the Fly More. I bought a Mini 1 Fly More in which the drone is broken as well as the Mini2 Fly More. That's six batteries, just about enough.

[@HalfChrome]

Agreed

[@themastereal8345]

i think 3 batteries is excessive at best, the charger is pretty cool but you need a powerful charger to really make the most out of it, personally i got the 310 pound base model and went to cex and got another battery for only 25 pound (fly more kit is 430 pound), so definitely not worth it, and i printed my own case, in which online 3d printing services are super cheap nower days

[@mrgclips]

Funny ending! LOL! 😆

[@joemiles9312]

The bag also has a handle you can carry it on the side.

[@GeroLubovnik]

Pretty good review and logic. IMO bottom line is- get the Fly More, but expect to get at least a bigger case, possibly offering more protection as the bag offers little or none. When 3rd party chargers are available for the Mini 2 batteries you'll want to grab one of those because with the provided charger it will take 4 hours to charge batteries from drained to full. You'll probably want to add leg extensions and possibly a landing pad as the Mini1 and 2 are weed-whackers in any length of grass. There are other accessories (i.e. strobes) that you may or may not want to add. DJI got smart with the Mini 2 Fly more and priced the stuff so you pretty much have to buy the Fly More...and still add on things. Note that they also bumped the battery prices of the Mini 1 so you can't buy those at $35 any more and the so you'll want to spend the $55 for the Mini 2 batteries rather than the now price of $45 for the Mini 1 batteries. Those pesky Chinese.

[@liuzhen1220]

The extra battery + battery Hub is worth having, but it is difficult to see a discount for DJI combo. I finally bought the discounted stand-alone version + 2 mini 1 battery and additional charger, which saves about 15% compared to combo

Great video! Questions no one else cares about: 1. Will the Mini 2 work with DJI RE Goggles? 2. Can you bind this to a Mavic 2 remote?

[@HalfChrome]

I believe the answer is no to both questions. I’m not 100% certain but DJI has FS supported the Goggles RE in a while. They announced compatibility with the MA2 remote but that is it. There isn’t a reason both couldn’t work but I don’t think either will.

[@HalfChrome]

[@GeroLubovnik]

I don’t have an answer for the goggles, but know it definitely will not work with a Mavic 2 controller. However, it is the identical controller to the Mavic air 2 with the exception of some of the printing on the outside of the Mini 2 controller. Innoway that’s a shame because the mini two controller is ginormous whereas the Mavic 2 controller is the same size as the old mini one controller and much more portable. Consequently the Mini 2 needs a larger case than the old Mini 1 does, in spite of the drones being identical sizes.The new controller is a behemoth.

[@rickracine9758]

ya i got the fly more combo , as you said probably a good ideal to have extra batteries but you mentioned there out of stock or sold out (didnt no about that ) more reason to get the combo , its still a good investment for the price ,and when you have extra money it can be use for ND filters and other accessories you may need ,thats what i did
