I just flew my Mavic 2 Pro today and felt I had better luck shooting my Mini 2 recently....I’m telling you these smaller drones are more fun and getting capable now.
Interesting you can see a difference because of the sensor size but that mini 2 performs really well maybe even in some cases better eh? Hope you are well my friend
What an awesome true side comparison. I just got my mini too and I was blown away by the quality and the flight feel cause that it possesses. It has a permanent spot in my camera bag.
You're the best Ken. Not only are your videos informative, but entertaining as well. Your personality defiantly separates you from the others. Keep doing what you do best. ENJOYING LIFE!!!
I must must must sayy thats the perfect example of “transferring knowledge with keepin the audience engaged and entertained” Man you have done an excellent representation with an exceptional sense of humour
What a refreshing video Ken! I couldn’t almost tell the difference between both footages! It’s so amazing how the Mini 2 can keep pace with the P4 Pro! Nice!
whaw getting ur mini2 ducted below p4pro2 is a mind blowing idea. And i hate to say this could be the most accurate side-by-side video. Both drones did what they supposed to do. Cheers Ken.
Top tip from my motorcycle restoration hobby. Take a piece of gaffer tape, folds the ends back and stick, sticky side up, on the table. All your mini screws can go on your new sticky screw holder. Love the videos. I'm getting a Mini 2 for Christmas...hopefully!
😂 You crack me up every time. Just got my Mini 2, and eagerly waiting to do a maiden flight tomorrow. It’s my 1st drone too, and loving the advices you give throughout your videos. It’ll help me become a good flyer.
So impressed with the Mini 2. People ask me what drone should I buy and it's not even a difficult decision. For the price, it's such a great value. So excited to see this trend of decent drones with good cameras in the sub 250 range. Great video.
Man I love this - wasn't expecting you to literally attach the mini 2, so that was great to see. Thanks for putting this together - I have a Mini 2 coming my way in the next day or so and can't wait to start shooting more abandoned places with it.
Love the videos Ken keep up the great work. Thank you for the tip on holding the drone camera down instead of up when compass calibrating. I always stress when I have to do the compass calibration and I hear the gimbal motors strain when I tilt it upward.
Yeah the Mini 2 is really really REALLY IMPRESSIVE!!! The P4 does have the larger sensor but the Mini 2, for the size, it's doing an incredible job! I'm so happy my Mini 2 Fly More Combo with 1 year DJI Care Refresh package is already chillin under the Christmas tree.. 😁
Another great video! This one was a fun one to watch and also, informational. I don’t think people understand how much time, planning and effort these videos take to create
Omg, totally busted out laughing at the end with the profanity. My wife in the other room asked what was so funny. Btw, awesome flying around the boat, especially once they started moving. Beautiful!!
Ken...Another classic. Great comparison. Mini 2 wins the shot of your car hands down. I enjoyed this video a lot especially the shots of the anglers in the boat, demonstration of the finger in Mini 2 props and Official sign at the end. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.
I always seem to loose little stuff like that, especially when I'm out in the field. Great testing Ken, the little Mini really held it's own out there.
I think you neglected to anticipate the effect of the vibration of the Phantom on the Mini 2. As a result, the Mini 2 imagery is slightly blurred. It was a good idea, but you need some kind of attenuating material at the mounting points.
Hey Ken! Funny enough, my name's also Ken. Anyways, love the energy in this video, the joy in the video takes out my stress (especially on exam week!) and you've gotten me excited towards getting this quad!! Got yourself a new fan here. Happy flying :)
You should use your least favorite finger when doing that test :) I think it hard to pick between those two drones, the mini i felt had better colors, but with slight motion blur and a couple of dropped frames. The phantom had better image quality for details, but had worse color range, the shot of the car with the tires kinda showed this the best.
Had a P4P for 2 years. Sold it and bought a Mini 2. Not a single client has complained of any image quality loss, and I can now fly pretty much anywhere. I can also take my drone with me everywhere I go. Phantom 4 Pro definitely easier to push and pull in colour-grade, but that is nowhere near enough for me to choose it over the Mini 2.
I've said before and I'll say again, the mini 2 is a giga chad. I bought a mini se, was disappointed with the range, returned it, and bought a dji refurbished mini 2 for $379. If the box didn't say "rb unit," I wouldn't know that it was refurbished. It's great. The se was great too, but the range and connection quality just weren't great. Also, for whatever reason, the 4k video on the mini 2 looks way better, even on a 1440p display
Hey boy. your videos are very funny and also help those of us who are learning. You can tell that you really enjoy your drones. Keep it up and never change! Greetings from Granada, Spain.
In a field were yesterday’s tech is positively historical. The (at time of writing), three and a half year old P4.Still Rocks. I have several drones.,and the P4A is still the gaffer.😊
Great comparison video Ken! Funnily enough I was looking at metal detectors a few weeks back when I was toying with the idea of getting into the metal detecting hobby. Yeah, it would be a lot fuss for a few loose screws, but still fun to think about.
Amazing how that lake has come back from the disaster that drained it, so beautiful now. Very good with the birds that larger sensor makes all the difference in the quality. I really hope DJI comes out with a 5 in December. I doubt it though why launch the Mini and then destroy any sales with a big Phantom. A man can dream can't he??
What are you talking about I think I prefer the video of the mini. Makes no difference in the world maybe it's a difference you like but I think the mini was as good if not better which is crazy. Which means the mavic air 2 would beat the phantom 4 pro even more. Especially with its groundbreaking HDR that in most cases you don't even need to fix colors in post simply amazing..
I just lost in the ocean my Mini 2 and I was considering a Phantom 4 but now afterl this video that I'm very grateful you did I'm thinking twice about it I don't know if the price differences it worh
@@DESHIY one of the motors suddenly started over spinning and gon he was. I suspect it could have been a cracked propeller that let go...never know for sure.
It looks good but not as good. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. In my opinion, the Phantom 4 is still better. Bigger sensor means better colours and less grain. Also with the adjustable aperture, it gives a better sense of depth and size. Phantom also has a wider FOV than the Mini 2. But don’t get me wrong, the Mini 2 is one heck of a drone. That thing is amazing.
Umm Ken, if the drone was on the table and hanging over the edge and you stuck your finger from the bottom up (like you did with it flying) even at an idle speed, I bet you get cut. If you hold it at idle and put your finger up in the prop from the bottom, guess what? As the director of the film said at the end of the scene; "CUT!!!" lol And when your props flew off the table, which I caught (3:20), you were not screwed, you were ScrewLess! lmao Nice comparison and a cool way to do it. Love the scenery. Take Care, Be Well, and God Bless ✝
Hi Ken, speaking of the mini batteries, can you charge it normally in the mini 2 charging hub and directly to the mini 2 drone when you have the standard package? thanks!
@@arnypalmy4317 ok thats good to know for those that have both minis. Have you tried it yourself since I have seen some videos mentioning that its not possible due to differences of voltages and mah values? Thanks!
Thanks for the tips and the comparisons. To my eye,, if there is a difference, one can correct in post. Doesn't the Phantom shoot in RAW and if so, there is no comparison.
I bought a Phantom 4 Pro a few years ago and it was the worst purchase I have ever made. I flew it about 4 times. The newer, smaller drones are the way to go.
Gotta love your craziness and creativity, most would just fly them separately. Personally I think my Mini 2 has the better picture, alittle brighter. Ken what your thoughts on ND Filters?
I don't know if anyone has said this yet or not but if the screws are metal, You can drag a nice size magnet around that area and might find them. thanks for the video, the mini 2 is on my wish list.
You know this video would definitely have gone viral if you had crashed both of them into the lake in a epic lose one lose both at the same time. Awesome comparison. Duct tape rules!
For the cost of the mini 2 that is just beyond impressive of a side by side.
I just flew my Mavic 2 Pro today and felt I had better luck shooting my Mini 2 recently....I’m telling you these smaller drones are more fun and getting capable now.
This makes me so happy I want to cry. Mini2 FTW
Interesting you can see a difference because of the sensor size but that mini 2 performs really well maybe even in some cases better eh? Hope you are well my friend
I’ve always been a fan of the P4P but the Mini 2 also has a charm of its own! Quite handy specially if you want to bring something lighter!
Like ta Mini 2. Nice camera comparison of the P4P V2 and the Mini 2. thank you, Ken.
You bet bud.
Looking forward to having you on TNL this week!
Can't wait WOW
What an awesome true side comparison. I just got my mini too and I was blown away by the quality and the flight feel cause that it possesses. It has a permanent spot in my camera bag.
Is it your first drone?
Honestly I love both of them, they each have a quality of image unique to them. Great way to show the difference sir. Well done.

This is the my favorite video you've made. You're freaking awesome!
Awww shucks.
Thanks buddy!
Great video Ken. As always entertaining and very informative in comparisons. Keep em coming. You got me hook line and sink.
The Mini 2 looks better against your car. What’s the P4 like one stop brighter?
really amazed but I thought the Mini 2 was a better picture than the P4.
😂 You crack me up every time. Just got my Mini 2, and eagerly waiting to do a maiden flight tomorrow. It’s my 1st drone too, and loving the advices you give throughout your videos. It’ll help me become a good flyer.

For the price point difference the mini 2 is real value for money.

Great Video Ken
Very cool Ken! Great way to do a video comparison!
Only 37 minutes to find the screws, that's gotta be a record!! Glad you were able find them all and finish your always excellent adventure videos Ken.
Pound for pound the mini 2 did it for me. Nice idea. Keep em coming
🤓👍
The mini2 is absolutely amazing.

What a simply great idea for a footage comparison. Best one i've seen so far. Congratulations! 👏👏👏👏
Great comparison! That outro was hilarious!
🤓👍

Omg, totally busted out laughing at the end with the profanity. My wife in the other room asked what was so funny.
Btw, awesome flying around the boat, especially once they started moving. Beautiful!!
The big difference is the mechanical shutter in the Phantom 4 Pro V2. This eliminates rolling shutter when filming fast moving objects.
DJI spent tons of money making MIni 249g, and people put stickers on it makes it over 250g. Great comparison by the way. Thanks
I think it might actually be 240 grams I think that’s what I saw on 1 video so you can add your sticker.
@@ar12. wow, great to know that. Thanks!
New to this channel! Loving this guy!
Thanks Zaldie!😁

@6:11 looking at the car, I see everything much more sharp on the mini 2👏👏
You’re the most cheerful person on TH-cam ❤️
🤓👍
I’m going to hang on to my p4p for awhile longer after seeing this. Thank you 🙏🏻
Not the comparison we wanted but the comparison we needed
Love your work, from Melbourne Australia
Hey thanks Dominic! 🇦🇺
I always seem to loose little stuff like that, especially when I'm out in the field. Great testing Ken, the little Mini really held it's own out there.
If you carry a small but powerful magnet with you then you will be able to sweep across the floor and pick up the tiny screws. 👌
And you could put the screws on the magnet while switching props. Many of the btter drone bags and toolkits have a small magnetic area :)
I think you neglected to anticipate the effect of the vibration of the Phantom on the Mini 2. As a result, the Mini 2 imagery is slightly blurred. It was a good idea, but you need some kind of attenuating material at the mounting points.
Maybe time to update your contact lenses? 🤓
@@KenHeron I expected an intelligent response (sigh).
You know how to keep me entertained 😊
Hey Ken! Funny enough, my name's also Ken. Anyways, love the energy in this video, the joy in the video takes out my stress (especially on exam week!) and you've gotten me excited towards getting this quad!! Got yourself a new fan here. Happy flying :)

"I will never find them again. It's a hopeless endeavor." Smash cut to "Okay, it took me 37 minutes to find all of the parts..." I feel your pain.
@Ken Heron Do you notice a decrease in performance from the mini 2 when you use a mini 1 battery in it?
Li-ion 2S (1) vs. LiPo 2S (2)
Not any appreciable difference.
Awesome video Ken!
I got to admit that of all the DJI footage I've seen so far, the Phantom produces the best quality...
For it's price it bloody well better, but it's just not worth the justification when the mini 2 is nearly as good!
Had a P4P for 2 years. Sold it and bought a Mini 2. Not a single client has complained of any image quality loss, and I can now fly pretty much anywhere. I can also take my drone with me everywhere I go.
Phantom 4 Pro definitely easier to push and pull in colour-grade, but that is nowhere near enough for me to choose it over the Mini 2.
Actually I prefer the look of the mini2 to the phantoms
Blacks and shadows much better, and highlights slightly worse
Great product video. Thank you for making it entertaining.
Really good videos Ken. Informative and fun - keep em coming.
Thank you David.

It's a great drone!
The range of the DJI Mini SE is well enough unless you break the law and go out of VLOS
When is the new mavic pro coming?
Woah good vid on both but the phantom 4 still reigns supreme I reckon!
I tend to agree.
Hey boy. your videos are very funny and also help those of us who are learning. You can tell that you really enjoy your drones. Keep it up and never change! Greetings from Granada, Spain.

I couldn't agree more!
Now that was a true side by side!
Mini 2 wins no questions asked, for the price it s a definite win...
Not to mention the size difference and ease of launch over the team project that seems to be the P4P (exaggeration but the principle stands).
I think occusync is the best upgrade to the mini , myself. And as long as I'm not enlarging the image im good with the 2.7k camera
Wow, mini 2 is a beast! Thanks. (and it is a legal drone!)
"Don't lose these or you're screwed". I chuckled at that one. Then when you actually lost them I was LOL.
Hindsight is after all, 20/20.
Great comparison video Ken! Funnily enough I was looking at metal detectors a few weeks back when I was toying with the idea of getting into the metal detecting hobby. Yeah, it would be a lot fuss for a few loose screws, but still fun to think about.

Yaaay!
Genius combination flying! oh the screw you were screwed for thirty seven minutes 🤣 Great comparison

Thanks for the sub!

Good stuff Ken. 😃
Much appreciated. 🤓
Mini 2 is SWEET!
I bought a Phantom 4 Pro a few years ago and it was the worst purchase I have ever made. I flew it about 4 times. The newer, smaller drones are the way to go.
The same thing happened to me! I bought a Phantom 3 in 2015 and I only flew it twice. Sold it for 240 dollars two months ago.
Thanks Ken..!
Whats up love the videos keep it up!!!
Don't know why I forgot your videos are so fun an informative mad props ken
