      It is best drone for beginners and budding filmmakers... This is my opinion about this.
      But the main draw back is of its ground clearance, it is very very less and it is very difficult to land directly on different grounds without a helipad.

      Awesome video Mike and nice to meet you... I'm Miro from Pernik - Bulgaria (I've been cocky and rude with my comments on your other videos for which I apologies publicly because you are an awesome TH-camr from which tons of people can learn and I'm personally a big fan of you)... In 1 hour from now I should be receiving my FCC Version of my Mavic Mini... I ordered it from Banggood... Will update you on range in urban areas here in Pernik and I'll try it out also in Sofia too but fingers crossed that the remote controller will not update its firmware from FCC to CE firmware once location is retrieved... Personally I fly my Mavic Air in FCC mode for longer range and I do get 3.5 - 3.9KM range even in urban area especially I fly it at 120-150 meters altitude so I kind of expecting same from the Mini... Now for the none English speaking viewers here I will ask you something in Bulgarian here: Човек моля те кажи как ти е пълното име че гадая само какво може да значи Майк (Михаил, Михаел...?)

      Drone Supremacy Ok I got the Mini now it was opened and sequrity seal stricken broken...(Banggood are doing so with all of the DJI products they are selling (quality assurance purposes I assume)... I received Fimi a3 and X8 SE previously with sequrity stickers untouched as Banggood was the first official reseller of those Fimi products)
      But I see all the other stickers on the Mini itself and the remote controller (it is really MT1SS5 FCC controller) have all the stickers on and it is a brand new device obviously... Will update you on coverage and mode in a few days from now...

      Ravi kanth Kachibhotla hey brother I find when landing the mini especially in potentially nasty terrain, it is so much easier to land in your hand. Just have the mini hover over your hand long enough we’re the sensors recognize and hold the down toggle until it gently lands in your palm. I pretty much launch and land it by hand 90% of the time now.

    Pro's: all spot on, i went to the philippines with it and it was soooo small and easy to carry
    Con's:my major ones are wifi density in towns sometimes stops you from flying because it's just a pain to get disconnected every 20 seconds in my city, no problems at all while on the field. The other problem is obviously wind so you have to be careful when and where to fly due to gusts.
    All in all i love it!

    I bought the mini a few days ago. I want to say this. Video quality is great. If you are buying a drone for going out far distances this is NOT the drone to get. I do have a lot of trees around the places that I fly and I know they cause interference with the signal. When im in the wide open with nothing between me and the drone Ive been getting close to 3/4 of a mile in distance and thats going about 350-400ft in altitude. Overall im really happy with it and the price range. Get you some filters, range extenders to improve quality of your service even in short range scenarios, and get something to keep your props together while your drone is packed away. If you love to fly all day you might want to get a few 12v car chargers

      @@DougChristensen I mean, it has altitude hold, GPS, horizon lock, etc. you just push the stick in whatever direction you go. Only situation I could possibly see as a reasonable explanation for somebody actually crashing one of these is by flying backwards with your nose in the screen without scouting the location or having a spotter. But also, drones like this are incredibly easy to fly line of sight so even that shouldn't really happen. If the mavic mini came with obstacle avoidance, the first thing I'd do is turn it off.
      Most DJI pilots believe they're pretty good but don't have any experience flying something that actually requires skill to fly. I understand how someone inexperienced would want obstacle avoidance, but I'd imagine it would just be an absolute nightmare to anybody with even a slight amount of skill.
      Damian may have pointed out in a rude way that the OP wasn't experienced with drones, and it may have been an unnecessary thing to say in the context of a youtube comment, but that doesn't make him wrong. And, DJI pilots who believe they are better than they are do cause some pretty serious safety issues. Even the FAA talks about the harm this mentality has in their 107 study material. And if you look at the OP's TH-cam channel, you'll see him crash a mavic air in a very amateur fashion. Slow, sluggish, jerky movements, followed by flying directly up without scouting the path, looking where he's going with the camera, and almost certainly not looking where he's going line of sight. About 15 near misses with branches which should've warned him to stop and get out but he kept pushing it until he crashed. That was posted only 6 days ago.
      I don't say this to be harsh or rude, but DJI pilots believing they're good when they actually are very inexperienced pilots is definitely a safety concern and probably the only real safety concern the FAA has to regulate our hobby as they're trying to. It's important to point that out to pilots who overemphasize their abilities so that we can all be safer and have more freedom as pilots. Again, Damian didn't have to be rude about it, but there is definitely merit to what he's saying if you look past that.

  • @easyheimer
    @easyheimer 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You forgot to mention in your cons about the low wind resistance. I've had a few close calls even within the recommended wind speeds. That's why I love my Air that much better. I feel that I can fly it in much stronger winds which is something you can't plan for when trying to get that special shot.

    • @DroneSupremacy

      I have only minor issue. When not flying for few days, it takes maybe minute to find enough satellites. And when you are close to building with half of the sky obscured, it never has enough satellites. But unlike phone which sometimes uses wifi to localize itself in urban area and which is happy when it knows location with 20 meters accuracy, drone needs much better signal, because it sometimes have to rely only on GPS and barometer to keep it's position.

You need to fly at least 250 to 300 meters high if you take it out to those long distances, especially if you are flying from behind trees or other obstructions. I've learned this the hard way after flying almost every day for the past 4 months.

    I have the Mavic Mini, and I love it! Easy to fly, really stable, and the 2.7k video is pretty good for most things. I recently took my Mini from the UK to Poland on vacation with no problems at all. I also did some pre saved automated flight plans using the free version of Drone Harmony. Basically, I pre planned some flights while still at home in the UK, uploaded them to the Cloud, then once I was in Poland I loaded the pre saved flight plan onto my phone, and the drone flew them 100% perfectly. I was really impressed that is was so easy to set up and fly, you just press "launch" and you can then leave the drone to fly the route under full automation.

      Of course Mavic Air..4k video, 100mbps recording, obstacle avoidance, inteligent flight mode, better wind handling. Get an alpha antena from the unlocking drone and you have with you a drone almost or better than the mp1.

      @@megatazman5129 yes it cost around myr300-400. It boost mini range to 4km(solid bar) and pretty sure it will do the same with the air. Mavic air is a good buy , just that when you shoot in d-cinelike the footage gonna be noisy. Heard people use ettr to solve it..sadly i sold my air so i cant test it

  • @CharlyDuesentrieb
    @CharlyDuesentrieb 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I agree with you. But one hint from own recent experience, these parabolic antenna reflectors are just placebos and can make range even more worse compared to the naked original antennas. I tested just few days ago, both with 2.4 and 5.8ghz and could not feel any difference at the range limit in rural environment.
    But I have experienced the automatic channel selection is not the best choice very often. You should take a look onto the channel activity map while the Mavic is hovering at least at 10m altitude. Often you will detect overrange WIFIs there. In such cases I will land immediately and select a free channel manually before taking off for the intended flight.

  • @bermudasquare1910
    @bermudasquare1910 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the mini, my only other drone is the P3 Advanced, so I'm already used to no obstacle avoidance. Perfect for 1) If you're a beginner and don't wanna spend too much before you get deep into the hobby or start earning money (me) 2) Beginner or even pro and want something you can easily take with you anywhere. There are many times I've been somewhere thinking "Man I'd love to get a shot of that with my drone!" Now I can! The mini goes everywhere with me!
    WARNING: Be really, really mindful of wind conditions. This drone is not particularly powerful and extremely light. Get an app like UAV Forecast that gives you a wind profile at altitude. I almost lost my mini yesterday. Wind was calm at ground level but gusting at 25mph at 100ft (I forgot to check the wind profile), next thing my Mini was flying away without me touching the controller! Thankfully I managed to avoid power lines and brought the drone back down to a controllable altitude and then brought it home to land

What is mentioned in above video is nothing but truth about this tinny drone. In one word, you really need to try it out and trust me it won't fail your expectations.

    Coming from a Phantom 2, the lack of intelligent flight modes or obstacle avoidance is not an issue. The portability, flight time, and built in camera of the Mini are all big plus points for me, and it gives me everything I need in a drone that was purchased to go traelling with.
    p.s. Not a fan of the grading you do on your footage - I think it adds way too much green to the overall look.

    • @Bampiss
      @Bampiss 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Matt Novak besides the battery difference. What is the difference between the two? I'm owning a spark & happy with it. But sometimes flying in urban area frustrates me. So looking thru mini like an upgrade / pretty much the same?
      I don't want to waste $ for the same feature / just slightly better drone

    • @mattnovak5896
      @mattnovak5896 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Citizens , The range is way better than that of the Spark! The video and camera difference is really only a software difference. It seems likely that more control over the Mini’s camera may come in the way of firmware updates in the future. I also like that you can tilt the gimbal up (I believe 30 degrees). They both have their advantages and disadvantages but with the great price for the Mini, I just couldn’t pass on it. The other big feature I like over the Spark is that the arms fold making it easier take with you just about anywhere! Seriously, you can put it in your pocket!
      Hope that helps!

  • @pavelp80
    @pavelp80 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I would add few more cons:
    * Image is a bit distorted, like looking through glass with non-uniform thickness. It's not obvious at first. But sometimes you notice that vertical lines are not vertical and it's not due to perspective. Sometimes you notice it in the video, when you turn around fast and some object seems to grow and shrink a bit. It's not a problem when flying in nature, but in large city parks, cause it's a bit obvious on buildings.
    * Signal range in populated area is horrible. Had strong interference and no camera image at 50m distance / 50m height when I was 100m away from buildings (larger city park)
    And one not much serious:
    * Integrated strong beacon light to make it visible against scattered clouds and other even more distracting backgrounds
