DJI Mavic Mini review: A weekend with DJI’s affordable drone

DJI's Mavic Mini is the lightest and cheapest addition to the Mavic line -- but it's light weight and low price don't come without some compromises. It's also missing a few notable features that made previous iterations of the Mavic line so great

Easy to start flying ; Stable, reliable manners ; Extremely light and compact ; Impressive battery life ; No FAA registration required

DJI Mavic Mini review: A tiny drone with big ambitions

The Mavic Mini takes everything DJI has learned about flying cameras and crams it into the smallest drone from the company to date. At just 249 grams, it's light and incredibly portable. It still flies like a champ and comes with a solid camera for the...

Small yet capable in the air ; Solid camera performance with some caveats ; Stellar battery life

DJI Mavic Mini

The DJI Mavic Mini is a lightweight drone that you don't have to register, but spotty connectivity makes it hard to recommend wholeheartedly.

Low cost of entry. Includes remote control. Excellent battery life. Crisp 2.7K video and 12MP photos. Gimbal stabilization. Automated cinematic camera movements. Find My Drone feature. Doesn't require federal registration.

Some connectivity issues in testing. Omits obstacle detection sensors. No 24fps video option. Doesn't support Raw or HDR images.

Bottom Line: The DJI Mavic Mini is a lightweight drone that you don't have to register, but spotty connectivity makes it hard to recommend wholeheartedly.

Review: DJI Mavic Mini Combo | It's That Easy To Make A Drone Video DJI Mavic Mini Combo

Drone flying is neither easier or more fun than with DJI Mavic Mini Combo.

Super easy to fly, good video quality, good battery life and many setting options for both amateurs and advanced. Lots of fun for the money.

Does not have 4K video. Image noise when shooting in low light.

The small DJI Mavic Mini drone is so easy to use and easy to fly, that anyone can make it happen. The drone is not only very fun to fly and film with, it can also be used for useful things. The controller is easy to relate to, and the DJI app is well...
