    Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

    Do not be surprised that there will be impressions that others would attribute to the "Disadvantages" section. But when buying, I knew about these features of the device, so for me they are not shortcomings, but rather features. 1. The mass of the apparatus, in addition to obvious advantages, also has a negative side - low (compared to others) resistance to wind. The declared 8 m / s seems to withstand, but with a stronger wind the device starts to stagger. The stabilization system tries its…

    Pros
    • This drone has two main advantages: mass and flight time. Mass: I threw it into a backpack and go shoot wherever you want - it won’t pull your shoulders. And you don’t have to waste time registering a drone (for someone, it’s also a plus). The flight time compared to others is very good. Declared up to 30 minutes. I shot somewhere for 17-20 minutes of video before discharge. When compared even with other drones in the Mavic line, the result is very good. The drone is also surprisingly strong. He hit me once on the ground and once on a tree during operation. And nothing, it works. Not a bad camera. The quick shooting modes also work well.
    Cons
    • Faced GPS glitches. Because of them, just, apparently, the incidents mentioned in the "Dignity" section occurred - hitting the ground and a tree. It was very frustrating because the drone suddenly stopped responding to the remote control and continued moving no matter what. The remote control is not very convenient for large smartphones. I often miss the buttons on the screen due to the protruding parts of the remote control. An unexpected minus was the accessory mode. I took the drone in the Fly More Combo configuration, and there the propeller protection is included. And when putting this protection on the drone, the accessory mode turned on automatically and sharply limited the altitude and flight range (30 and 50 m, respectively). For a long time I can’t understand why the drone doesn’t want to fly far, and disabling this mode is hidden in the menu well (if you’re interested, then “Security”> “Advanced settings”). This mode is not specifically mentioned anywhere, and the instructions say little about it. Not the best camera performance in "Auto" mode. Likes to overexpose. It is better to use manual settings.

    This is my first drone. I dreamed about a drone for the last five years, but the toad choked to buy something, something didn’t fit in terms of parameters, someone had bad reviews. And then he appeared, that's just what I wanted! A three-axis suspension, an excellent camera, while being mega compact and relatively inexpensive, with excellent autonomy, I read reviews, how people praised it in a rush . in general, I could not stand it, I bought it. Took a complete set of standard, consciously…

    Pros
    • 1. Flight time, not 30 minutes, of course, I keep it for 25 minutes exactly, I fly in cinematic mode, no sudden movements. 2. The workmanship is good, you open the box and you already understand that this is not a cheap Chinese craft. 3. Flight range, I don’t know why people suffer from garbage and set records for range, for me and a kilometer outside the city above the roof. 4. The camera, it's great, for such a baby it's Great! On a sunny day, he shoots . but what can I say, watch their videos a lot on the Internet. 5. There are modes a la selfie. Spiral, rocket, etc. I’m flying from an iPhone XR, it’s hard to get into the remote control, I refused to climb into the case at all. The software has risen perfectly, works flawlessly. 6. A very convenient remote control, the sticks turn away and retract into special niches, the quality is 10 out of five. 7. But the most important thing is the size, he's just a bedbug, a little one, at first I thought: is this really him!? 8. Three axis suspension, works great.
    Cons
    • Except the price. For me, there are simply no more flaws. 1. They say that it blows with the wind, damn it, and it weighs 249 grams, as it were, it should be blown away, 2. Some people are not satisfied with the range . the fact that this bug flies away in the forest for 3 km is not legal at all, how it manages to fly at such a distance is a mystery to me. 3. They say that the camera can shoot in 4k, hmm. and someone thought that it would interfere with the sales of other drones of the company, how will shooting in 4k affect battery consumption!?

    It makes sense to buy this model as part of the FlyMore set - you get a very tangible savings on accessories that will be needed very quickly. Please note - by default, the drone is set to hover in place when communication with the remote control is lost - for ordinary fields, it is better to set the return to the home point, for a city or work in conditions of suppression / substitution of radio signals, it is better to "hover in place" or "decrease" to exit from the radio interference zone.

    Pros
    • Stability of holding position in space, flight time, convenience and predictability of control. In most cases, drone control is similar to control in a computer simulator - no surprises and departures from the intended trajectory. You just need to understand that the device keeps the height not above sea level, but relative to its original position, and only the presence of altitude sensors keeps it from meeting the ground if the copter flies uphill.
    Cons
    • For the European version (operating frequencies 2.4 GHz) - a very short flight distance before the connection breaks - sometimes failures start at a distance of 300 meters from the remote control and this is in the fields outside the city at a distance of several kilometers from the nearest cell towers and with all the radio channels of the pilot's phone turned off (mode - on the plane). It was expected that the copter would behave stably above the surface of the water - but alas, this is not the case - the reason for this is the IR sensors on the copter's belly, which can only be turned off by taping them with dark tape. At the same time, of course, the copter, when landing, can estimate the distance to the ground and flops down on it with all its might - this must be taken into account - land the drone very smoothly, and then turn off the engines with a combination of joysticks.

    A valuable purchase, some advantages!

    Got pros: When flying outside the city (towers of electric wires, cellular communications, Wi-Fi, etc.), it behaves very cool. I didn’t send it for kilometers, but sent it to the sea for three hundred meters (altitude 70-100m), the signal is excellent. A lot of video lessons, firmware and application ates, I quickly got used to the controls. Flying on the coast, I sent it from the takeoff point to 300-500m and to a height of 70m, the copter steadfastly withstood the wind at a height (the remote

    Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

    My sixth drone, there is something to compare. The main thing is convenience, it can be charged from anything, together with the remote control you can shove it into your pockets. It can be charged with quick charge, with a good power bank it charges in your pocket in half an hour. Now I always take it, because I don’t have to drag a whole suitcase. Stable, predictable, a pleasure to fly. Amazing stabilization, I shot a lot in a stormy wind, the gimbal can’t cope only with the gaps on which the

    Pros
    • Convenience Stability Stealth
    Cons
    • No raw photo. I would like more range on the CE version

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

    It's cool to stitch together panoramas in autopano giga, then in Photoshop to fool around a bit. With its pros. 1. Lightweight. 249 g. If it were a gram heavier, I would have to register it. This is the case in many countries, not only in 2022. 2. Fixed focus. I used to fly on the Mavic Pro, and there autofocus in the dark could be very wrong. A fixed focus is when everything is clear always and everywhere. 3. Very smart drone. If the connection is lost, if the phone suddenly glitches and…

    Very satisfied. Once flew into a tree, one blade did not survive, but after the replacement, no problems were revealed. I fly myself, I shoot. Bliss.

    Pros
    • - The very top for the first quadcopter. - Video quality. - Compact. - Fly More Combo - must have.
    Cons
    • - Few automatic functions. Quadric clearly can squeeze more - The range is not suitable for everyone, but it is absolutely enough for me. One fig afraid of losing him - With the ate, one of the engines began to spit out an error, but nevertheless, no problems were noticed in flight - Sometimes, of course, you want to balance something by light / color, but there are few settings

    The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

    Different pros: To begin with, few people write, but the main plus is not expensive original spare parts from a well-known site. Two times cheaper than they sell in St. Petersburg., original and with a fairly fast charge) broke 2 beams trying to force them to follow me while driving through Lichi (for those who are in the know.) The CE version easily gets a permanently open frequency of 5.8 for 20 euros and the drone starts flying as it should) and far and without dumps. Details can be found on

    The purchase brought only positive emotions.

    This is my first camera drone. I chose between mavic air and mini. As a result, I settled on a mini, because compactness, compact batteries and charging to them are important. Air has more and more massive and it does not charge from the power bank. Looked at reviews and reviews. Most of the reviews are written by those who own more serious drones and it is clear that for them it is too simple. I have nothing to compare with. For me, a distance of 1 km is even enough for now, because it’s scary

    Pros
    • Very compact. Recharges with portable charger. It flies for a long time. The combo set comes with a case that fits everything and does not take up much space. Simple and intuitive controls and application. More than for the first drone.
    Cons
    • The propellers are soft and shake over them)

    I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

    A good drone for its tasks. Will not fly for kilometers in urban conditions Different pros: Nice drone, really very small and light. Hangs stably, holds the wind at least up to 7 meters, the camera suspension does not fill up the horizon, the pictures are clear even in cold weather Some cons: Even Spark flew higher and farther. The limit of the European version in the city is literally 50-100 meters. The American one is said to have a different transmitter and can fly farther - research this…

    A valuable purchase, some advantages!

    A small (in every sense) miracle. It looks like a children's toy, in fact, a high-tech product. It is easy to manage (even the grandmother of 89 flew a little). For filming, that's it. Although in sport mode you can drive. Got pros: Immediately after the purchase, there was a problem with charging the remote control. This, it seems, is a disadvantage that has grown into the dignity of the manufacturer and seller. Without further questions, they changed it under warranty for a new one after…

    Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

    Has some pros: It's tiny, a little bigger than a phone! You can even put it in your jacket pocket if you want! No need to register, the application is convenient, everything is easy and very convenient. With its cons: This is just my second drone, I'm not a big specialist. It’s purely for myself to shoot to shoot - a buzz, I don’t see any shortcomings.

    A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

    Summary - the perfect drone until the first drop, which you definitely will if you live or travel to a city where there are jammers. Has pros: In the beginning, an ideal device (except for range). Shoots smoothly, holds position and horizon - perfect. Got cons: Bloggers say that he is tenacious, but this is not so. One fall from the jammer and that's it. Yes, the rays may not break, but the protruding camera will definitely get it. After just one fall, it now forever brings down the horizon one

    A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

    To be honest, I expected less from a drone. I thought it would be a toy, but the quality of the video and photo is very pleasing (if you take a sunny day). and yes, it flies well. pickups from wires and various urban objects sometimes knock the drone out of its reasonable state - it starts to "fool". I immediately recommend buying on alik a cable for a smartphone of increased length (the bundled one is very short), protective bright stickers and a bracket for a smartphone / tablet (it’s…

    Pros
    • small, light, flies in calm weather up to 32 minutes. a good camera during the day, cheap spare parts (if you take it from the Chinese). I immediately plastered it with a bright vinyl film, so that it was easier to search and see against the background of grass, sand, sky. take a combo pack, yet an hour and a half flight is more than half an hour. and in general everything is more convenient there. stable and fast GPS.
    Cons
    • you can not fly in the rain, snow, wind, at low temperatures. stupid procedure for ating the firmware on batteries - three batteries, which means you need to insert all three into the drone in turn, ate the firmware. it's half an hour of work. the camera in twilight and darkness is absolutely unusable. no Active track, no FPV. the Chinese have both for this amount.

    Gorgeous quadric. When you first open the box and take it in your hands, you can't believe that it's so tiny. When you unfold it, it becomes like a full-fledged "adult" quadcopter. When you watch a video from him, you can't believe your eyes. It flies very, very smoothly (after Spark, which turns extremely sharply and it is very difficult to make a smooth flight) In the city it becomes inaudible already at a distance of 30-50 meters (Spark is heard at 100-150m, Phantom 4 Pro 1.0 at 300-400m) It

    Pros
    • Very smooth! It flies very "cinematically", despite the lack of curve settings, as in older drones. Very good video and photo quality, even when compared with Phantom 4 pro, it is not much inferior. 249gr - no need to register and easy to get permission to fly in the city.
    Cons
    • Very short flight range in stock and CE version for 2022. In the city - no more than 300 meters, outside the city it is better - about one and a half kilometers. There is no active track, POI flyby, obstacle sensors (when returning home) and panoramas.

    I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

    I did not measure the charging time, but by eye, yes with QuckCharge - about an hour per battery. Charges, by the way, not all at once, but the one in which the most is left, which, in principle, is reasonable. Now why not the FCC. The maximum distance I flew while sitting on the roof of the dacha was 1763 meters. Is it a lot? Objectively - yes, for such a small drone with stock antennas. In the city, of course, it’s sadder, but it’s quite realistic to count on 300-500 meters. In any case, I'm

    Pros
    • Well, it's time to write a review on this beauty. I deliberately restrained myself in order to move away from the joy of the purchase and give out an emotionless (as far as possible: D) review. To start with, my first drone was Trello. This choice was not without reason, as I described in detail in my review of it. In short, the idea was to take a hard-to-kill drone, on which to learn how to fly, so that there would not be such an opportunity as a drone crashed on the first day for 30+ thousand. The thought is correct, so I licked the Mavic Mini and postponed the purchase for later. So a couple of months of very dense daily flights and falls on Trello passed, which, by the way, he withstood with honor at the cost of a couple of propellers. And at some point I realized: it's time. I thought between the FCC and our version, in the end I chose ours. In fact, I think I do not regret it, later I will explain why. I took Fly More Combo, which I also think is a great idea: separately then buying batteries is 2k apiece. So it will not be cheaper to collect such a combo later. It is also worth noting the charger - excellent, support for QuickCharge (it will flash faster than normal charging), it works from the bank. The case is also great, put it on the dirt many times and it still looks great. The first flight - ecstasy, another world, extravaganza of emotions. In view of the presence of some flying skills, I immediately went to "open water" a short distance from the Hong Kong Ring Road (we do not violate the laws, where the Mini is good again - 249 grams, there is no registration). That is, as it were, not the center of interference, but they are still quite serious, and besides, a healthy metal bridge is nearby. Automatic channel detection works fine, but it’s still better to set it manually (fortunately, the drone itself will tell you which one is the freest in the application), especially in conditions of an open field. We set the sport mode, and oh, how it brings down: put it in an angle of 40 degrees in flight, when changing the direction of flight, it’s not a question at all, climb, wind resistance .

    I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

    Drone is 100% recommended! All the disadvantages listed above are not critical - 1080p60 is now enough for the eyes for many years tocome, you can follow me with your hands, it's not difficult. Although I wrote that timepalms are bad in wind, all other photo / video modes work well (even if it writes a warning about a strong wind, it still has a fairly large margin of power). Hangs in place just perfect) A few words about the remote -compied from the Mavic, except for acomuple of buttons, so…

    Pros
    • 249 grams :) (actually 246, and in reserve 2 grams for the filter for the camera and 1 for the sticker); Three-axis suspension that can be lifted up! ; In the photo and video, it copes well with auto white balance, catches very little glare in the sun; 2K video; Recharges from powerbank; The flight time is close to nominal, if you do not fly much; Sport mode is really a sport; There are shooting modes "rocket", "flying up with distance", "circle", "spiral"; Quickly catches GPS (I have consistently more than 12 satellites)
    Cons
    • 249 grams :( - in fact, when the wind is over 5 m / s, it sways imperceptibly, but when shooting time-lapses, the chatter begins to be noticeable, which then has to be removed already in the video editor; 2K video only 24 FPS, although the internal chip fully supports 60 - we are waiting for ates); There is no Follow me mode, again, we are waiting for ates; Proximity sensors are only on the bottom, you need to watch him very carefully when he is in self-shooting mode or returns home; From the backlight, only a light bulb, and he himself is gray - at altitudes of 80 meters it is almost invisible;

    A terrible purchase, I sympathize with everyone who bought it.

    The software gets buggy over time, the quadric gets stupid, in general, the toy for a year, one and a half, then, like any smartphone, it starts to freeze up, only in the case of a quadric it will not restart, but will break into trash! He flew over the roof of an extension made of metal 100 meters from the remote control, so he turned on, lost control and fell on the roof! Extremely unstable radio signal, so fly around you! And DGI's attitude to their customers is simply irrelevant, a few…

    It's not a good product, it's a pity that I spent money on it.

    In vain I bought a mini CE version and after reading and trying how far it flies, I returned it to the store. It is shown a lot that it flies 2 km in the field - but understand that you will not get tired of flying in the field, but you want to see how to get to the lake or to the place, which path leads, etc. And he can't! due to its transmitter power limitation. The drone is good for flying indoors and not far from oneself in nature. His speed is not high and it is difficult for him to return

    Pros
    • 1. Small - you can put it in your pocket and the hunter - the traveler can take it. 2. Flight time - and this means a lot! 3. Little noisy - doesn't scare people 4. Picture - for the money it is worthy!
    Cons
    • 1. Flight range - CE version, FCC must be taken. And then you have to dance with a tambourine. And the person who bought our version in the future will climb on the forums to read how to increase it (reflectors, etc.) And in the city it is 70 m up and 120 m in the distance. 2. If it weighs 249 g and does not need to be registered, then you will not receive a fine - again a miss, a fine of 30-50for a flight without obtaining permission and I’ll think about how much weight. 3. Lack of sensors. 4. Many people take it to nature, but then they realize that it does not fly far in the dense forest. And again to the forum, etc. 5. Price!
