Tankman Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) The new DJI Mavic Mini is on the way! Looks like a decent drone to start with!R8999 for the flymore combo, that is pretty decent too!R6999 for the Drone only. 30min flight time3 Axis GimbalOk so No 4K video but2.7K at 30fpsor Full HD at 60fpsNot much more needed for social media anyway. I need a drone! Have been looking at the Mavic Air for a while, until I saw the Mavic Mini yesterday!Question is, save up and get the Air or get the Mini, get some experience and upgrade later? The Mini is released close enough to Christmas to call it a "To Me, From Me" Christmas gift right? and the promo video Edited November 1, 2019 by Tankman nathrix and Frank.Hutt 2
Dexter-morgan Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I just need it to follow me on the trails but @ 9k, I will pass an wait for some used ones to become available. raptor 1
Tankman Posted November 1, 2019 Author Posted November 1, 2019 you looked at DC Rainmaker? Nope, what is he saying? For new Garmin's, he is my goto, didnt even think of him for drones, he is a very technical guy but not one of my video goto guys
Tankman Posted November 1, 2019 Author Posted November 1, 2019 you looked at DC Rainmaker? Cant find anything on his channels regarding the Mini?
Tankman Posted November 1, 2019 Author Posted November 1, 2019 I just need it to follow me on the trails but @ 9k, I will pass an wait for some used ones to become available. Less than half the price of the Air... sound appealing to me!

MarcBurger Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 The fact that it;s simply more usable than the larger, higher tier Mavics is a win in my book. The best drone/camera is always the one you have with you. In this case it's small enough to have with you in your backpack, and simple enough to quickly stop, take a short clip, throw it back in your pack and carry on riding. The common consensus among reviewers is that it just needs a software feature update, and knowing DJI, there will be one. Tankman 1
gpcar Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 It runs on Wifi, so the range and signal strength isn't the best.... always had a problem with Wifi drones.
Tankman Posted November 1, 2019 Author Posted November 1, 2019 It runs on Wifi, so the range and signal strength isn't the best.... always had a problem with Wifi drones. For what I have planned, not too stressed about this, doesnt need to be miles away ... for now! Out of interest, if your phone runs out of battery or the signal is lost, what happens?Is the "return to home" automatically enabled? (Should hope so!) I have heard stories where the drones got confused during low power and tried landing on water... which did not work, obviously
Jase619 Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 It runs on Wifi, so the range and signal strength isn't the best.... always had a problem with Wifi drones. In terms of range isn't it limited in SA anyways?
capediver Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I just need it to follow me on the trails but @ 9k, I will pass an wait for some used ones to become available.None of the DJI drones are very good at this, rather look at the Skydio 2...more expensive but far more advanced....https://www.skydio.com
RaymondC Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 In terms of range isn't it limited in SA anyways?Use fake GPS app and do the FCC hack. This will trick the drone to think its flying in the US. but don't do anything crazy. T-Bob and Tankman 2
Mamil Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 This damn thread has me lusting for one of these T-Bob and Underachiever 2
Underachiever Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Great spec vs the SPARK. If only it had some crash protection. I want one though!!
Mamil Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Is it true to say the spark is a better drone but the mini a better camera and better fly time? Edit... no wrong Great spec vs the SPARK. If only it had some crash protection. I want one though!! Edited November 2, 2019 by Mamil
