The DJI Mavic Mini is a lightweight drone that you don't have to register, but spotty connectivity makes it hard to recommend wholeheartedly.

Low cost of entry; Includes remote control; Excellent battery life; Crisp 2.7K video and 12MP photos; Gimbal stabilization; Automated cinematic camera movements; Find My Drone feature; Doesn't require federal registration.

Some connectivity issues in testing; Omits obstacle detection sensors; No 24fps video option; Doesn't support Raw or HDR images.

“DJI’s Mavic Mini is a relaxing return to the basics, but I wouldn’t want to live with it.”

Easy to start flying; Stable; reliable manners; Extremely light and compact; Impressive battery life; No FAA registration required

No obstacle avoidance; No 4K video; Lackluster video transmission system

The Mavic Mini takes everything DJI has learned about flying cameras and crams it into the smallest drone from the company to date. At just 249 grams, it’s light and incredibly portable. It still flies like a champ and comes with a solid camera for the price.

Small yet capable in the air; Solid camera performance with some caveats; Stellar battery life

Video link a little flaky at times; Lacks some core camera features; Fewer smart modes

An exceptional model for beginners that is still capable enough to keep up as you get a bit more experienced

Good video quality; incredibly portable; long flight time; relatively inexpensive

No obstacle avoidance; lacks some advanced camera and flight features; No obstacle avoidance; lacks some advanced camera and flight features

On one hand, the Mavic Mini is the perfect beginner’s drone. It’s tiny and lightweight, enabling it to fly under the thresholds for certain regulatory restrictions, has approaching 30 minutes of flight time, while also shooting 2.7K footage – and the quality of that footage is quite good.

Ultra portable; surprisingly great image quality

Crash-able; struggles a bit in wind

If you're after an easy, affordable way to get into the world of drones, the Mavic Mini is a superb option. Considering its size and how inexpensive it is, the performance and features on offer are fantastic.

Much more affordable than any previous DJI drone; Easy to fly; Smooth footage; QuickShot modes are fun to use; Battery life is decent for the size

GPS/Location didn't work for remembering take-off point; It won't like strong winds; QuickShot options limited compared to bigger models; Slow charging batteries

Le Mavic Mini Fly More Combo de DJI est un mini drone qui promet des images et des vidéos de grande qualité. Il dispose d’un cardan stabilisé à 3 axes et des modes de vol sophistiqués.

Prix de base abordable; Pilotage simple

Supporte mal les coups de vent

Easy to fly the combo pack is good

Best feature is the controllability. The drone is very stable in winds and at height it stop, turns, goes left or right, forwards or backwards, rises and falls, just as one would wish the controller is exceptionally well modulated the cine mode is smooth as can be the camera is excellent. The extra batteries are absolutely necessary. My only lamentation is that the drone itself can't be started remotely.
