DJI Mavic Mini Fly More Combo
UPC's:
Can one imagine!?
Where might this technology take us next month, year, 5 years? Hands on the Mini and you know you treat it gently! You can break it easily! With that understanding as you fly you are more careful ... and thats a really good thing! Best thing for me is that its quieter and smaller than anything I have. Less intrusive is huge! I can get closer and even follow wildlife easier without subject freaking out. With DJI rock solid GPS lock its easy to put... Show More

Good value, good product equals good times!
This is my first camera drone so I have nothing to compare it to. I have flown RC aircraft/helis/quads for 20+ years. The technology in this thing is mind blowing as far as I am concerned. The camera is clear, the flights are very controlled and fluid. I do wish it had active track, but for what I do with it, I am very happy. I'd give it 5 stars if the charger charged all 3 batteries at the same time. Don't be fooled by the 249g weight, because i... Show More

Impressive!
For a small quad camera, it is really cool! On lift off, It climes to about 4 feet and just stays there. The controls are easy to handle and if you let go of the controls it stays right there where it was. It stays in one spot until you tell it to move. On a windy day it warns you but it still stays on one place rock solid. I only got a chance to fly it 3 times so far and every time, the battery still had extra time to fly even though I was too c...

Grounded because wrong type of phone
Just got the Mini for this X-Mas. Followed all of the instructions trying to download and install DJI fly (needed for the full flying experience) into my HTC phone but kept getting errors (app not installed). Finally contacted the vendor (via email) only to find that the HTC cell phone is not compatible with the drone.... Did I miss a the list of the compatible phones somewhere in the B&H page? Checked it again and it only said Android 6.0 or better not that it requires specific phones... Maybe it is hidden somewhere and not very obvious... so make sure you check before buying it ....

Don't waste your money!
I've spent 5+ hours trying to get this thing to work... instructions that come with it are a 2x3 card with tiny pictures... once I finally figured out how to turn both on.... then I had to register with DJI and that would not work for two day... now the unit will not fly because I live within two miles of an airport. They claim you can get authorization to do this but how? Customer support sucks and their wed site is terrible. Oh and an iPhone with any type of protective cover will not fit in the control unit... did the video point out you need and iPhone or android to make it work?

My first drone
I have had my Mavic Mini for about a week now and just love it. I watched a ton of YouTube videos reviewing this drone and already many of them are outdated, as they do not include the latest firmware updates (as of this writing version 1.0.3) which address some of the concerns. The drone is very easy to fly and I think the photos and videos are excellent. You can set the video exposure and lock it to keep the exposure from changing as the drone enters different lighting conditions. I found that editing the jpg file in Lightroom will allow for some very nice to excellent photos.

Super small, quiet, and capable
I have been using a Spark for the past 2 years. Haven't used it as much because it isn't as compact in a bag and camera was just OK. I went on a trip to Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta with the Mavic Mini. Shot in 2.7k and blended it with footage from an Osmo Pocket and GoPro then upscaled to 4k. Results looked great. I'm not doing any pro broadcast, but for social and home videos, it was nice and clear on my 4k TV. Great thing about it is the size. Very compact vs the Spark. I was able to slip it into a jacket pocket. I see keeping this in my daily bag or my glove compartment.

Incredible!
When I bought the drone all was simple and fast. Once I got it I used it for the first time next to a pyramid near Yucatan, in mexico and it was amazing. It is really easy to transport it and the batteries last for perfect time plus with the combo you have 2 extra batteries. There several ways to fly it, the sport mode is really good. The quality of the video is super good and you can easily have your content in your phone super fast. For the price is a perfect option to start learning how to fly a drone, just be bareful with the trees, cable, wind, etc. 100% recommend it!

Great drone; lousy DJI support
I was waitlisted with Mavic Minis back-ordered at every retailer. B&H got mine to me quickly when they became available. I couldn't wait to launch on my front lawn to get aerials of our Christmas lights. We live a few blocks inside Class D airspace and so I got FAA permission to fly. Guess what? I couldn't override the built-in restriction in the drone! I went online and discovered NOBODY CAN! DJI promises a firmware update in late December. Well, it's late December now and I still can't fly. Funny how the company didn't mention this when I bought the drone. Pretty shady.

Awesome Drone
First time drone user and this is awesome. It is super stable and has excellent features. The best part is, the app will not allow you to fly the drone in certain locations. It geo fences areas that are off limits, which keeps you from getting in trouble with the FAA. The camera is very stable and the video quality is excellent. The only downside is I wish I had purchased the fly more combo. The extra batteries would have been nice. And it doesnt appear they are available at the moment. So Im stuck with about 25 minutes of flight time every few hours.

Excellent choice for beginners and experts
This is the second drone I got my boyfriend. The first was a starter drone with little to no features. When he got this one he was excited to start using it. He was impressed with all the advanced features and flies the drone almost daily. He is now taking a certification class because he wants to fly it in more advanced ways. This is a great choice for those drone fliers that are new to the game and even those experts. It takes great video and photos and gets incredible heights and views. I'm very impressed! Even I could fly it without crashing!!

My first drone
Im an advanced hobbyist landscape photographer and Ive been wanting to try a drone for a while. The Mavic Mini, for me, is the perfect combination of price and camera capabilities. While the camera isnt amazing as a still photo platform it is a great addition to my kit and allows for unique perspectives. I highly recommend researching if this is the drone for you before making a purchase. I plan to use it for learning, family shots and maybe a few more serious endeavors. All in all, Im very pleased and have really enjoyed learning to fly.

A very competent lightweight drone at a bargain price
No, the DJI Mavic Mini isn't the Mavic Pro 2 or Pro Zoom. It also costs over a thousand dollars less. Being less than 250 grams, no need to register. The Mini has many of the features of the larger drones. This is my first drone. I'm loving it. It's not a toy. It does have a learning curve. DJI includes thorough manuals and tutorial videos. I haven't had any problems. It's easy to fly, and has a plethora of information on the controller screen (your phone, iOS or Android, plugged into the controller and running the DJI Fly app.)

Great battery and speed, needs range and 4K
I love the size on this little drone, it packs a punch! Great speed and very nimble. Battery holds up for a long flight time compared to it's bigger cousins. I'm a little disappointed that DJI chose to remove the Pro level controls for video and the range is not good. It will start getting choppy or lose connection on a clear day around 150M Distance. (The connection is WIFI 2.4 or 5GHz, not low Freq RF like the bigger drones) So areas with WIFI cause interference. I live in a city with lots of wireless AP's so it's tough.

Best Drone on the Market for this price!!
DJI is the leader in drones and the Mavic Mini is absolutely awesome. Easy to use, high quality, well made is the start. Awesome camera with still and video capability is amazing. Long live battery, quick charging, and more. The only down side, you might have to take your case off of your phone if it is thick to clamp it in the controller... that or opt to purchase one of the many other phone/tablet clamps available online. You can't go wrong with this unit and having the backing of DJI makes it that much better!!

Unbelievable value
So much quality for the price. This little drone is very stable. ( I was worried about that). Awesome pictures and video. I have had no issues with wind or connectivity. Full disclosure, I keep it under 400 feet and don't fly if wind is over 25mph. My phone battery would not last as long as the remote and three-pack with the drone so I did have to upgrade my iPhone 6. Bout time I guess. The Fly app is very user-friendly. The social media apps make very easy to share quickly. (better than gopro's social media apps).

Great size, great fun!
I do love my Mini, however, I don't love the app so far. I recently tried to fly in a zone that required authorization and though the app has the option to request authorization, it didn't work. I was able to request immediate authorization in the same location at the same time for my Mavic 2 Pro directly through DJI GO4. (Also Kittyhawk app didn't show this as an area requiring authorization and didn't present an option to request it.) Thus, I was unable to fly my Mini that day.

Compact, precise and easy
I've been a drone footage enthusiast for long and this is my first ever owned drone. It is very lightweight, but totally serves the purpose. I have flown mavic pro as well and the mavic mini's flying experience is nearly the same. I would miss the object tracking and I'm trying to do it manually. The app is good, the video footage is okay, but i think the image quality could have been better. Flight time is 25 minutes on avergae. In all, my verdict is its worth the price.

Love the package but hate the new app and firmware
I got the drone and It is exactly what I wanted especially for indoor work. Right now I live in a TFR caused by the POTUS and the whole area is restricted. The problem is that the new app and firmware will not allow me to fly the drone inside my own house. It completely shuts down. I have contacted DJI about this and they say that there is a new firmware coming in late December. Well, I have not seen it and the drone is still grounded. I am very disappointed.

Excellent drone
Excellent stability and flight time. It handled 20 mph wind just fine and easily flys for 25 plus minutes on even a windy day. The camera handles reasonably well under low light and is really good during the day. The gimbal is smooth and in CineSmooth mode the drone can take beautiful shots. In addition, the quick shots are easy to use and work well! Set up is also much quicker than the drone I had previously and I can get in the air within 2-3 minutes.

If you have the budget, get the Mavic Air
I own the Mavic Air and bought the Mini. The Mini performs as advertised so I gave it 5 stars. However, its capability is much less than the Air. The Mini has no forward/backward avoidance capability. It does fly longer on a battery charge. The Mini has very limited preprogrammed moves. Of course the Mini is much less expensive than the Air. They are close to the same size and convenience. If you have the budget I would recommend the Air over the Mini.

Exactly what I expected
I currently own a Mavic pro and phantom 4 pro that I fly for both my business and pleasure. Purchased a mini hoping for the same quality I have in both my other DJI products. At first glance it seemed a bit toy like. But once in the air, I was pleasantly surprised. My first flight was indoors with low light and no gps and it was rock solid. Outside, its fantastic. And as usual, with a 25 day wait from DJI, B&H delivered in 2 days! Very pleased!

Be careful
My first 2 weeks was a blast. And then...my Mini was gone with the wind and DJI said frankly, we don't give a .... The beauty and curse of this drone it is light and small. However, the wind can take it away pretty easy and the fail safes didn't work. When you purchase the DJI Refresh allows you to destroy the drone twice, but when it takes off out of your control they don't offer any support. Very disappointed with DJI support.

Great starter, amazing videos!
Ive been thinking of getting a drone for a long time. I just dont have the time right now to justify $1300 or higher for something Ill use on occasion. The Mini was the nudge I needed. Great price point for the new flyer, and the quality is hard to believe for a drone that costs under $500 (I got the fly more combo). Small, light and steady flight with battery life to give you plenty of time to get the shots you want.
