[@markm212]

Why not mention that this drone is not usable by anyone with an iOS device!!! Amazon listing does not even disclose this - WTF???

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

@@markm212 Highly recommend you email Cogito at [e-mail]. Thank you.

[@birdman316]

nice lil camera bird bill! love to see a distance test too!

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you ! More videos coming very soon !

[@jcflying8763]

Hi Bill. Very good showing here. You moved the gimble during RTH that's why it stopped. Even with DJI if you move the gimble it affects the RTH.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Exactly. Thank you so much !

[@crazydpaintball]

It's a DJI with a different name on it.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you for your comment.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Nice review Bill. It looks like a winner!

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you Marcus. Very impressed with this !

[@kroalex81]

Before your first flight you should calibrate compass and imu … another thing could you make a test trying to get Lannc approval to see it allow flight ✈️. Where lannc is requested

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

There are a number of things I do offscreen to prepare for the first flight of a drone and that includes compass and IMU calibrations. I do not live in an area that requires those authorizations - it would be at least 20 miles from where I live. Thank you.

[@ssb73q]

Hi Bill, nice review of the Specta Mini, thanks for sharing. However, a DJI drone by any other name is still a DJI. vbg

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Interesting new Mini drone from Specta, but I wonder how well it will sell, considering how closely it resembles another drone. Great unboxing and review Bill, thanks for sharing.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you Ron. I'm impressed with it. Big question is accessories namely batteries.

[@markm212]

@@BillTheDroneReviewer And the fact that an iOS app does not exist for this!!!

[@Mr._Sky_Fly]

Looks, flies & sounds just like a Mini 2. Pretty decent picture quality also.. Although I'd still probably spend the extra $10 for the Mini 2 (with the CareRefresh option ..etc) Walmart still advertising the Mini 2 for $299... Great review Bill! Thanks for the insight 👍

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Than you so much. I'm very impressed with it !

[@jaa1015]

Fun video, Bill!

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you !

[@OriginalSniperLol]

Most def DJI. Hope they drop the idea of banning DJI 🙏

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you for your comment !

[@almeisam]

Reminds me of the DJI Mini 4K. If you're a member of Costco, they have the Mini 3 for $299 that comes with a 64G SD card and three ND filters.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Sure does. It's a great deal at $289 from Amazon.

[@markm212]

@@BillTheDroneReviewer Not if you own an iOS device!!!

[@Pioneerrvtravels]

It is the DJI mink 4k

[@craiglancaster1882]

Definitely a DJI product

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you for your comment.

[@Pioneerrvtravels]

It's exactly the DJI mini 4k

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you for your comment !

[@DannyFyffe]

Just ordered it from Amazon on this Prime Day for 229. With discounts we had getting it for 205. It will be here Thursday.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

That's awesome ! Congrats !

[@eyesintheskydrones9412]

Nice. I will be definitely looking at these drones if the ban goes through. I was trying to see where you can purchase additional batteries but I didn’t see a battery only option on Amazon or the companies website. Any insight on this?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Specta tells me more batteries for both the Specta Air and Specta Mini will be available soon - most likely July.

[@JohnnieDroneFlyer]

Nice review Bill. But for $10 more i would still consider DJI but it’s definitely giving consumers and option

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you Johnnie. Specta needs to offer accessories and put out information about after sales service in order to be competitive.

[@Gemini-kl1wn]

Does the Specta brand comes with geofencing like the DJI brand?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

I don't live near a no-fly zone so I could not tell. I heard when someone was testing the Specta Air that it did.

[@MrWingo26]

Does it have geo fencing like DJI does? If not I could easily see why this would be a good alternative

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

The Specta Air does. I 'm not near any airports or restricted areas so I can't tell you about the Mini.

[@dougannash6985]

The most important question (which no one seems to be answering): does this have the same periodic (90 day) login requirement that the DJI drones/app have?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

I have had it over 90 days and that has not come up.

[@dougannash6985]

@@BillTheDroneReviewer Good to know. I volunteer with SAR and have had to abandon DJI drones due to the login requirement, as we often are operating in areas without cell signal. So if I've "forgotten" to login after the DJI app auto-logs me out (supposedly it's a 90 day timer; I've been auto-logged out after just 2 weeks before) then a piece of mission critical gear is bricked when I might need it the most. It's difficult to overstate how significant of an issue this is. If you log out and try to fly the drone, does it allow you to fly the drone?

[@insertrandomcontent8291]

Could you use the Specta with the DJI Fly app?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

The Specta app is really the DJI Fly app just rebranded. The Specta Mini is only meant to be used with the Specta app. Thank you.

[@GorillamansGarage]

The question is... "Is SPECTA a subsidiary of DJI"? Do you think it is to close to a DJI Mini 4k to be a coincidence?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

These are white label drones. Per Specta they are not a subsidiary of DJI.

[@GorillamansGarage]

@@BillTheDroneReviewer : It is food for thought though.. uavcoach.com/dji-loophole/

[@Pioneerrvtravels]

These are EXACTLY a DJI mini 4k. 100%. Same box and EVERYTHING

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

@@Pioneerrvtravels Thank you for your comment

[@DavidinEssexUK]

So how close of a clone is it? I mean do DJI batteries fit?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

The batteries will fit but the software in them is different and won't work.

[@markm212]

Why is it not mentioned ANYWHERE that this drone does not support any iOS devices! The app is only Android and anyone with an iPhone will NOT be able to fly this!!! All the review vids I've seen on KZbin barely (if at all) mention this! A HUGE no-go for many. Suspicious at best...

[@markm212]

It's not even mentioned on their Amazon listing which is deceptive!!!

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Highly recommend you email Cogito at [e-mail]. Thank you.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Received an email from Specta 7/25/2024 indicating that the iOS app for the Specta Mini is now available

[@aliattar1103]

I have the same drone but don't have the quick shot options. Why?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Did you use the QR code on the instruction manual to download the app ? If so I would suggest emailing [e-mail] and ask them. Thank you.

[@aliattar1103]

@BillTheDroneReviewer i did, and when i click the button all it does is switch between vidoe and camera

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

@@aliattar1103 I would suggest emailing [e-mail] and describe it in detail. Include screen shots if you are able.

@BillTheDroneReviewer i did, but do you know any other free 3 party apps that might work with thoese features

[@aliattar1103]
