I've always wanted a drone but never wanted to pay the big price for one. DJI has really made great strides in keeping their drones affordable over the years and more for hobbyists which I like. Anyways, I was extremely impressed with the DJI Mavic Mini. The night before, I had watched hours of videos about it and decided to purchase one as pretty much everybody had good things to say about it.
Pros:
- It's affordable compared to other models, DJI's least expensive drone.
- It's SUPER lightweight, without the battery you can tell they put a lot of thought into keeping this thing lightweight.
- It's really easy to fly, just be an an open field for your first flight.
- It can go REALLY far (theoretically several miles away from you) depending on signal interference. If you want to go further, get yagi antennas for 5.8GHz.
- It can fly for a really long time (20-30 mins), I was quite surprised considering how small and powerful it was.
- It can withstand strong wind gusts (think 30mph) and remain relatively level.
- It's intelligent, the stabilization of the aircraft and the gimbal is impressive to say the least.
- It can return home with GPS, this is honestly one of the most amazing features. It's scary flying something miles away from you, but if you lose signal it'll return home to where it took off using GPS all on its own.
Cons:
- No waterproofing, although this is likely due to DJI trying to keep it under 250 grams. A lot of components are exposed (although guarded by some plastic) when you look at it closely. Do NOT fly it in the rain.
- Can only land safely on a flat surface with no protruding objects (like grass). Easily solved with a landing pad though.
- The controller takes a crazy amount of time to charge which is annoying. It seems to take 8 hours or so to get a full charge. Compared to the aircraft's battery charging it's much much slower. You can get maybe 2-4 flights with the controller's battery though.
- The base package ($400) doesn't come with much and you'll probably want to get the $500 package. A carrying case is almost a must if you want to keep the drone safe. If you don't get extra batteries you'll end up wanting more too...
- If you don't get the battery charger that charges 3 batteries, the battery is charged while inside the drone. This makes it a bit tedious if you have multiple batteries. I wish they would have included an external charger by default.
- The base package ($400) doesn't come with a power brick. This was surprising as they recommend batteries get charged at 18W, which a lot of wall chargers DONT do. I'd recommend getting your own 18W or 24W charger instead of their more expensive (branded) one.
Overall, the drone is amazing for the price. I really couldn't complain about much. Be sure to watch a lot of videos and reviews on YouTube before buying. This really is a serious aircraft, and it could hurt someone it you flew it recklessly. Be careful and fly safe!

DJI Mavic Mini - Flight Footage and Review
Drone Valley
From the manufacturer
Compact & Portable
Almost as Light as a Smartphone
Weighing under 250 grams, Mavic Mini is almost as light as the average smartphone. This makes it exceptionally portable and places it in the lowest and safest weight class of drones, which in many countries may exempt it from certain regulations. Aircraft takeoff weight includes battery, propellers, and a microSD card.
Get Good. Fast
Easy to Use
The new DJI Fly app offers a simple and intuitive user experience, enabling you to create cinematic shots with just a few taps. It even has Flight Tutorial, a feature to help you get started with Mavic Mini quickly and safely.

Cheaply made but works like a dji.
The controller doesn't fit phones very well, especially with any kind of a case. Definitely a different feel than the phantom controller. i like having buttons on the controller for pics and videos. The drone itself takes really good shots. It flys very smooth, hovers in one spot, and stops on a dime. ( but it is very very cheaply made.) It dose not like any kind of wind whatsoever, your phone constantly vibrating and beeping saying high winds land immediately, even if there isnt much wind. I would like to see some kind of gadget to hold the props still, kind of a pain to put it in the case with props flopping around. Battery life is good, Definitely like the price of extra batteries, having 3 is way better than 1. It is so much quieter than the phantom. With the phantom people always know when your flying it and people are always looking. But with this little thing no one even pays attention, even the park ranger didnt bother me.

Make sure you do your research on how to fly your drone and what the proper "preflight checks" are this will ensure you are prepared and the drone is working properly with the remote. This will minimize the chances of you crashing.
Get another app like "Drone buddy" to Check on the wind and weather. This drone can handle some wind but is so light that it does get pushed around some.
It is fun to play with and is way more powerful and capable than any other beginner drone.

I haven't really had any problems with this drone, and it's so much better than even the bigger ones that don't have GPS.
* Very stable
* Good camera
* Easy to operate
* No license required
* Compact
The only thing I might change if I could go back in time is that I would buy it as a package with extra batteries, charger, and case. I ended up purchasing these separately and it probably cost as much or more than the package, even though the drone itself was on sale.
