Mavic Mini is worth the money, especially if you want to develop as a drone pilot. It is quite cheap for a quality drone but delivers excellent video and photo quality. The battery is rated at 25 minutes and I often get more. The only downside is that the drone is light (249 grams) to meet FAA registration requirements. As a result, winds in excess of 10 knots can cause problems. Also, it is unable to detect and avoid obstacles. However, if you buy the full kit, it comes with a propeller guard that protects the drone from damage while you learn to fly it.
