Let’s take the Mavic Air 2 for example, it’s half the price of the Mavic Pro 2 yet some people even prefer the 4K shooting quality of the Air 2 over the Pro 2 and it has some real competition. However; the Mini 2 is less than half the weight of the Air 2, making it the best traveler’s drone due to how compact it is. However, if your just looking at the budget 2 because it’s right at the maximum of your budget, and you know you’ll photograph and travel often, it will be a solid investment. I do recommend getting the fly more combo though, well worth the money. Powerful Performance It may be small, but this drone packs a ton of power. With a max battery life of 31 minutes, DJI Mini 2 grants more than enough time to compose the perfect shot.
With things like remote ID looming in the horizon, it could make flying a drone that’s over 250g a bit of a pain. That’s why this is an area where DJI Mini 2 has a big advantage too. If you saw my video where I compared the wind resistance of these drones, I also measured the distance these traveled from the end of the leaf blower. How often do DJI Mini 2 propellers need to be replaced? Before each flight, it is necessary to check the propellers for cracks, wear, warp, corrosion, and loose screws. If any of these conditions are present, the propellers should be replaced.
I would like to know why the video randomly stops after 5 – 6 seconds of recording. Go into that, and toggle that while you’ve got the pano opened. Only noobs need avoidance, over 5000 flights with DJI not a single crash or hard landing, avoidance is quite simply not needed.
It takes two hours to fully charge one battery, which comes to 6 hours for three fully charged batteries.

It’s a good reason to buy the Fly More Combo as you get three batteries with that package, allowing well over an hour total flight time. A year after the first edition, the new DJI Mavic Mini is out. Except, instead of calling it the Mavic Mini 2, it’s now shortened to just the Mini 2 – in line with other terminology changes DJI has been making in recent products. As I have been for years, I’m always on the lookout for the right drone to get the perfect shot while out doing riding, running, or even swimming.
Still, assuming you’ve got a clear area – this is by far the easiest way to get really nice smooth cinematic shots of anything you’d like – even a static option like a tower or such as I showed in my main video. Fear not, I’ve got lots more details on this down in the phantom 4 sports section. You’ll start and stop recording by either pressing the record button on the display, or by pressing the dedicated record button on the back right side of the controller. On the front side there’s also a dedicated toggle between photo and video mode.
You’ll rarely shoot past that number anyway, and I think that everything up to 800 ISO actually looks very good. The noise handling has been getting better on all DJI drones and the Mini 2 is no exception. I’m also a big fan of the charging hub, which you can buy separately for an additional $39. It fits up to three batteries and charges them one by one, starting with the least-drained battery.
Every smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it — contracts that no one actually reads. It’s impossible for us to read and analyze every single one of these agreements. But we started counting exactly how many times you have phantom 4 to hit “agree” to use devices when we review them since these are agreements most people don’t read and definitely can’t negotiate. Photos look sharp and they hold a good level of detail and contrast up to 1600 ISO. Images start looking muddy and lose definition and color.
