DJI Mavic Mini Fly More Combo 4631973

The DJI Mavic Mini is a compact and lightweight drone that is designed for casual photographers and videographers who are looking for an easy-to-use and portable drone. Here is a review of its features: Pros: Size and portability: The Mavic Mini is incredibly small and lightweight, making it easy to transport and fly. It can fit in the palm of your hand and weighs just 249 grams, which means it does not require FAA registration in the US. Camera quality: The Mavic Mini has a 12-megapixel camera that can shoot 2.7K video at 30 frames per second. It also has a 3-axis motorized gimbal that provides smooth and stable footage, which is rare for a drone at this price point. Flight time: The Mavic Mini has a flight time of up to 30 minutes, which is impressive for a drone ... MoreThe DJI Mavic Mini is a compact and lightweight drone that is designed for casual photographers and videographers who are looking for an easy-to-use and portable drone.

It also has a 3-axis motorized gimbal that provides smooth and stable footage, which is rare for a drone at this price point. Flight time: The Mavic Mini has a flight time of up to 30 minutes, which is impressive for a drone of its size. This allows you to capture a lot of footage without having to land and recharge the battery frequently. Intelligent features: The Mavic Mini has a range of intelligent features, including GPS-based position tracking, automatic return to home, and pre-programmed flight modes such as QuickShot and Dronie. These features make it easy to capture cinematic shots with minimal effort. Cons: Limited range: The Mavic Mini has a range of up to 4 kilometers (2.5 miles), which is lower than some other drones in DJI's lineup. This can limit the areas you can fly and the footage you can capture. No obstacle avoidance: The Mavic Mini does not have obstacle avoidance sensors, which means it can collide with objects if you are not careful while flying it. No 4K video: The Mavic Mini is limited to shooting 2.7K video, which may be a dealbreaker for some professional videographers who require higher resolution footage. Overall, the DJI Mavic Mini is a great drone for casual photographers and videographers who are looking for an easy-to-use and portable device that can capture high-quality footage. While it does have some limitations, such as the limited range and lack of obstacle avoidance, it is an excellent option for those who want to get into aerial photography without breaking the bank.

If you're in the market for a drone, I just wanted to let you know that the DJI Mini 3 Pro is one you don't want to miss. This little guy is amazing with its 4K camera and flight time. First off, let's talk about the camera. It's amazing. You can capture breathtaking footage in super high quality. With its size and weight it’s incredible what this can do. And in Canada you don’t need a licence to use this because of its weight. I am in love with it honestly. And I really like flying a drone now even though it can be a little scary sometimes. For the negative parts, I would say the obstacle avoidance is not the best, so you need to be careful.

Dapper drone

I am a beginning drone user and this drone is extremely easy to operate. I was worried that I would crash it and break it, so I am pleased by the ease of use. There are two reasons it doesn't get five stars from me. The first, and this was something I suspected might be a problem, but couldn't find any clear statements about, is the dji fly app is not compatible with my Samsung, so I can use the drone only when my partner is around with his iPhone. The other reason, and this may be something we figure out over time, is the camera doesn't look down. I purchased the drone to survey a large bit of land recently purchased. The camera seems to look out over the horizon, instead of down to the ground. Again, this may be something that can be altered with a photography app ... MoreI am a beginning drone user and this drone is extremely easy to operate.

Great Seller Return To Home Not Effective

I had a test run with the dji mavic mini and it was my first time flying. I launched it from the fourth floor of my apartment and there were no winds. The drone unfortunately started moving towards the right side on its own as it kept going, I immediately pressed the return to home button as it took off on its own so that it would come back to me. Unfortunately it did not respond and kept swaying and flew away as I saw it going. The drone lost connection and eventually landed in a bush slightly far away from the apartment block. I tried tracking the find drone function by checking on the map but it wasnt accurate. I scouted the area and found it. I hope future updates will fix this, the drone camera isnt that clear and night visibility is completely shabby. Im ... MoreI had a test run with the dji mavic mini and it was my first time flying.

Great Value! Easy to fly for a beginner!

The Mavic Mini Fly More Combo is a must have for a beginner. It includes additional batteries (which you will need because you'll love flying this thing so much), a charging hub for the 3 batteries, additional micro usb charging cables, a 360 degree propeller guard (for indoor flying), and a few other nice to haves. The charging hub is useful in that it will charge the battery that is closest to being full so you can get back to flying sooner. It will charge the batteries even if there are only 2 inserted. The hub also doubles as powerpack to charge your phone if you're in a tough spot (it has a usb-a port for that). The drone, charging hub, and controller all use micro usb charging ports. It comes with cables to connect the controller to any phone that uses micro ... MoreThe Mavic Mini Fly More Combo is a must have for a beginner.

It comes with cables to connect the controller to any phone that uses micro usb, usb-c, and lightning ports.Important to note that this thing weighs 249g, this means that for most areas in the US you do not need to be registered with the FAA to fly the drone. However, the propeller guard will put you over that weight limit.The app is super easy to use and will walk you through set up and everything you need to get started on your first flight. I would recommend you download the DJI Fly app and explore the help files and videos, they're incredibly helpful.I did crash my drone (my fault, still getting a feel for controls) against a wall and it fell about 3 feet onto the ground and the unit still works like a charm. I wouldn't recommend you crash it for fun, but I was pleasantly surprised it performed so well even after the little spill.I used an iPhone XS Max with it, the controller arms that fold out open enough to fit my giant phone in it, without a case however. There are aftermarket items you can buy to augment the holder to use tablets even.

Great a little drone for beginners

Purchased for occasional use, and as a beginners drone. Overall this drone is very easy to fly, but it also has it’s drawbacks, which are why the drone is less expensive. With the lack of obstacle avoidance you have to really be paying attention to where you are flying. I have to wear cheaters for most up close work, so trying to fly the mini from my Apple iPhone 11 Pro is a bit of a challenge. I ended up using some special safety glasses I have for the range that have the bifocal portion on the upper part of the lens, so when I look up to the sky for the drone I can see it, and when I look down at the screen the bifocals help me see the screen. They are made by a company called SPS. It’s easy to lose sight of the drone due to it’s size, so being spatially aware so ... MorePurchased for occasional use, and as a beginners drone.

It’s easy to lose sight of the drone due to it’s size, so being spatially aware so you don’t panic that you just crashed $400 into a tree.The features on the drone are very good for the price point, and I certainly don’t regret purchasing the drone. I would recommend doing smaller flights until you get comfortable with it’s range and flight capabilities. One of the best features for beginners is the fact that the drone will not take off in a designated flight path. I live not far from an air force base, and my property sits just outside the flight path, so I was able to use the drone for checking and inspecting areas of my roof, or fire place, getting arial footage for outside projects to work on the design. In the summer we love using the drone to fly off the front of our boat and investigate areas near us for depth and debris that could potentially damage our boat. It helpful that I can land the drone right on my hand ifI need to.I could go on and on about all the neat features, but the bottom line is this. This is a great drone for beginners and it will provide enough experience to determine if you want to invest in larger, more sophisticated equipment. I also recommend to purchase this drone as the whole package because it comes with the extra batteries and storage case.

Great for both first timers or experienced fliers

This was a super deal on an extremely competent drone. What a great value. So many features that make it not only a great drone f o r someone starting out but a very useful piece of equipment when you don't want to take a larger, heavier drone with you. There's and old saying amongst photographers that the best camera is.... The one you have with you!.... And since the Drone is also a camera I'll borrow that slogan for it. It is more than enough drone for me 90% of the time. One of the particularly nice things about the mini drone is that the batteries are very reasonably priced so if you need extended air time it doesn't break the bank to carry several extra batteries. In fact any of the accessories for the mini drone appear to be very reasonably priced. Thank you ... MoreThis was a super deal on an extremely competent drone. What a great value.

Great value for a powerful drone with an excellent camera

The DJI Mavic Mini at THIS price is a great deal! I wouldn't pay full price for this particular drone, but for less than $300, this is a top quality drone that performs beautifully. I am quite satisfied with it. Of course, you could probably find a better looking drone at the $200 to $300 mark. But there are a few things to consider. The Mavic Mini shoots in 2.7 K with an excellent camera. Even if a drone says it shoots in 4K it may not be as good as this. If it is an unfamiliar brand, it is probably worse. And if it says 4K it might only shoot PHOTOS in 4K and actually shoot far smaller in video. The Mavic Mini is also only 249 g in weight, meaning it doesn't have to be registered if flown recreationally. Other drones in this price range weigh a lot more. They will ... MoreThe DJI Mavic Mini at THIS price is a great deal! I wouldn't pay full price for this particular drone, but for less than $300, this is a top quality drone that performs beautifully.

The Mavic Mini is also only 249 g in weight, meaning it doesn't have to be registered if flown recreationally. Other drones in this price range weigh a lot more. They will need to be registered. The DJI Mavic Mini also has a true three axis gimbal for the camera which is itself vibration-isolated in the body by rubber shock absorbers. This makes the captured video crystal clear. Other drone's in this price range lack 3 axis gimbals or have poor isolation between the body and the camera resulting in wavy video known as jello. And the DJI controller paradigm is vastly superior to most cheaper drones because the cheaper drones use wifi signals which are limited in range to a fewhundred yards and do not penetrate structures well. The Mavic Mini has excellent range and penetration making it less likely you will be in a situation where you cannot control the drone. It is a fact that it is HARD to crash a DJI drone. You have to make a series of mistakes in a precise and deliberate order to get past the safety features. The drone also makes breaking the law harder since it won't even take off in certain airspace or weather conditions. This might annoy some people. But it beats loosing a couple hundred dollars with a crash or a few thousand with an FAA fine! This drone falls squarely between the cheaper toy-grade and the much more expensive professional grade of drones. I would classify it as hobby grade, edging a bit into the professional grade in terms of camera quality. I attached a few photos taken by the drone and one of the drone itself in the included case.

Small but Mighty, DJI Mavic Mini Flies Head and Shoulders Above Competitors

I am not a professional reviewer, and I bought this drone and paid for it on my own, with no promise of compensation from either Adorama or DJI (in case anyone might be wondering).I bought this drone a little over a month ago and, since that time, I have had several chances to put it to the test, and have come away very impressed with its capabilities, particularly when taking into account the size, weight and price.As a little backstory, I am a professional photographer, focusing mostly on sports, portrait and event photography. I had wanted to expand into offering some video and drone footage to my clients, as well. Previously, I had bought several other cheaper drones on which I could practice flying before moving up to a more expensive unit. Ultimately, I ... MoreI am not a professional reviewer, and I bought this drone and paid for it on my own, with no promise of compensation from either Adorama or DJI (in case anyone might be wondering).I bought this drone a little over a month ago and, since that time, I have had several chances to put it to the test, and have come away very impressed with its capabilities, particularly when taking into account the size, weight and price.As a little backstory, I am a professional photographer, focusing mostly on sports, portrait and event photography. I had wanted to expand into offering some video and drone footage to my clients, as well. Previously, I had bought several other cheaper drones on which I could practice flying before moving up to a more expensive unit. Ultimately, I had always had my eye on picking up a DJI drone, but wanted to make sure that I had some experience flying first. As it turns out, I probably didn't have to worry. Compared to the other drones I have bought, this DJI Mavic Mini is a breeze to fly! Take off and initialization through the DJI Fly app is nearly foolproof, and I was flying within literally minutes after receiving my Mavic Mini.The video footage I was seeing from this little drone was stunning, especially compared to the cheaper drones I had been using. Footage shot with the Mavic Mini is clear and very stable, with good contrast. Since this is the original Mavic Mini, it is limited to a max resolution of 2.7k, but that's enough for my needs at this time. Also, DJI have just released their new Mini 2 drone, which shoots in full 4k, should you absolutely need that capability. The new Mini 2 also is capable of shooting raw images, which as a photographer, is something I would appreciate. The original Mavic Mini can only shoot still images in jpeg format, which is a bit of a limitation, but not an absolute deal-breaker for me at this time, especially since I do plan on purchasing a Mavic Air 2 within the next year.Anyway, back to the Mavic Mini. For my first big flight, I took it out to a local political rally to shoot some footage for a friend who was running a booth at the event. The event was held on a fairly windy day, with winds running about 18 - 22 mph, and gusting up to nearly 30pmh. They were blown away when I showed them the video I was able to capture with this little drone! Thanks to the stability of the gimble, and the ability of the Mavic Mini to hold a stable position, even in fairly strong winds, I was able to capture plenty of clear, steady, usable footage.The Mavic Mini is small, extremely light and packable. Easy to take with you anywhere. This is a drone that can go with you anywhere you go, to capture scenes you might miss, if you only have a larger drone and can't (or don't want to)pack it with you everywhere.Flight time is advertised at 30 minutes. I have not tested it to the limits of that rating, but I did have it in the air for nearly 20 minutes on a windy day before I got to 30% on the battery strength, so i would say that the flight time is certainly adequate for its intended purposes.Downsides of the original Mavic Mini include lack of 4k video, lack of raw support, and lack of Occusync, all of which have been corrected with the new DJI Mini 2, I understand. Neither the original Mavic Mini or the Mini 2 have obstacle avoidance sensors though, so you still do have to be careful where you fly.Overall, while the new DJI Mini 2 corrects some of the original Mavic Mini's shortcomings, the original Mini remains an extremely good value for the money.
