Review on DJI Mavic Mini Fly More Bundle by Vinay Kumar ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad buy, well worth the money.

The other day a new firmware version (1.0.5) was released, and now you can manually set the ISO and shutter speed, and fix the automatic exposure with compensation from -3 to +3. Thus, the last serious drawback of this drone was eliminated. The first versions did not allow not only to fix the exposure, but also to change the BB - both of them were only automatic, which turned a microdrone that was not bad according to the idea into a poor craft. It was possible to use it even for amateur video shooting with great apprehension, since the result was extremely unpredictable and most often disgusting. But now that the BB isn't floating and the exposure is fixed, the Mavic Mini has suddenly become a wonderful travel companion! Detail at 2.7K is quite sufficient for amateur video and looks good even on a 4K 55" screen. I bought this drone as an add-on to its older brothers, primarily because of its weight, which avoids a number of restrictions in force in the EU, but it turned out that it can often be used instead. On a not very windy day, with good sun, it writes acceptable video quality. Small dimensions allow, moreover, quickly gaining a height of at least 70 meters to hide from prying eyes and not attract the attention of law enforcement officers. I mean not only the police, but also "conscious" citizens who rush to knock on the police at any opportunity, which is very common in Europe. The preparation time for the flight is minimal, it finds satellites in a matter of seconds, you can carry it in a small bag next to the camera. A very successful drone. If a flight planner had been made for him, then in general beauty. But that doesn't seem to happen before the summer. Will have to wait.

Pros
  • Flight range, flight time, light weight, small dimensions.
Cons
  • Poor wind resistance. Low DD camera. No flight planner.
