What awesome product. I Would definitely recommend

DJI has hit it out of the park with the Mini 2, and I say that as a Phantom Pro owner who is used to a higher-end, full-featured drone. While the original DJI Mavic Mini (we’ll call it the “Mini 1”) was designed to be a watered-down, entry-level drone with largely missing or reduced functionality compared to the Mavic or Phantom, DJI really worked to bring this still limited offering up to standards which make it a great choice for anyone looking for a first drone, or maybe just a more portable drone with great features. Pros: -Small and capable of being thrown in a jacket pocket or backpack. -Added 4k resolution and RAW photo support. -Pro features added to make shooting & processing video much easier for beginners. -Occusync 2.0 avoids signal degradation. Cons (covered in detail at the end): -No collision avoidance. -RC joysticks have to be removed for storage. -Phone can be tough to see in bright light due to angle -Can’t charge batteries and RC controller at the same time with the 1 included charger. -Color and size can make it hard to keep visual tabs on when flying. Camera: The Mini 2 adds in 4K/30fps (up from the Mini 1’s maximum 2.7k/30fps), which makes the video quality crisp and full of color & contrast. If you do have a need for 60fps, you can downgrade the settings in the app to 1080p/60fps (for action or post-processing slow motion shots). Still photos can be shot in JPG or JPG+RAW mode. You can also get “4x zoom”, which is not a true optical zoom, rather it’s the app cropping the video from 4k down to 1080 with 2x lossless zoom, then an additional 2x lossy zoom where it’s zooming on the pixels in the video resulting in quality loss. The camera is mounted on 3-axis gimbal, which gives it extremely good stability during turns or quick starts & stops. The DJI app now also includes 4 pre-programmed cinematic scenes that make beginners look like pros with their “QuickShot” options. These include “Rocket” (starting off looking at the ground & taking off straight up, expanding the shot as it climbs), “Dronie” (camera faces you then pulls back & upward, keeping you in the middle of the “selfie” shot), “Circle” (just orbits a set area, turning to keep the selected object in the center of the video as it orbits around it), and “Helix” (similar to circle, but in a more complex pattern of circles & zooms). The video shot in these modes can then be quick-edited, music added, and uploaded to social media all from within the app, no post-processing software required. Weight: The drone comes in at a mere 249g, which puts it 1g below U.S. FAA regulations for mandatory registration weight. If you’re outside the U.S. check with local regs for weight & registration requirements. The size makes it small enough to put in your jacket pocket, though the fact you have to have a controller, which is almost larger than the drone itself, you’ll still need a small bag to carry this (this “Fly More” package comes with a bag). Each prop is only about 3” in size, and the legs fold inward when not in use to make it easily packable. Stability & Flight: With the low weight you lose absolutely nothing with stability. The Mini 2 is FAR more stable in the wind than the Mini 1, and I actually found it more stable than my larger & much heavier Phantom Pro. In 2 days of flights – 1 with 15mph sustained/21mph gusting winds, followed the next day by 21mph sustained/28mph gusting winds – it felt like flying in no-wind conditions. DJI touts that it will fly in up to 37mph winds without issue . You can launch the drone with 1 tap. Likewise, the Mini 2 now features a GPS-based “Return to Home” feature which allows you to click the “RTH” button and have the drone automatically come back to the exact launch point and fully land. The RTH is good if you’re not sure where the drone is, or are in a situation where you need to get it home quick (i.e. low battery, weather, etc.). The drone now uses DJI’s Occusync 2.0 technology for wireless communication between the drone & controller, greatly increasing maximum distance between controller & drone and ensuring clear video feed over that distance. DJI states the max distance from the controller is 10km, but flying that distance from the pilot is a huge violation of FAA regs and a good way to lose your drone when it hits something or the battery dies miles away from you. Suffice it to say, the reach with Occusync will more than cover your flight. The controller has a 3-position switch for quick toggling of the flight modes available with the drone. “Normal” mode is, well, normal flight speeds (22mph) and turning. “Cine” mode slows all functions of the drone down, including forward speed, turning speed, and camera angle speed to give you that slower-motion cinematic feel. “Sport” mode gives you maximum speed and power, meant to follow fast-moving objects, yielding you a max speed of 36mph (remember this will kill your battery MUCH quicker than the 31-minute specs). Battery: Batteries will give you “up to 31 minutes” of flight time, though I never run them that low to make sure the drone makes it back to me. I usually bring it home at about 25% remaining. (Pro tip: Number your batteries & make sure you’re using them in a rotation rather than constantly using, recharging, and using the same battery again to extend battery life). Basics for Beginners: For those picking this up as their first drone, or transitioning from another drone manufacturer, the DJI Fly app gives you a full tutorial on how to use your drone to get you comfortable with its use. And the app’s ability to know what areas are allowable vs. not allowable to fly in will keep you from making a mistake flying somewhere not allowed or dangerous. Fly More Combo: The Fly More combo package comes with more that just the drone & controller. The package comes 3 batteries (instead of 1), which will get you about 90 minutes of flight time, with a 3-battery gang charger to allow you to charge all 3 in 1 device (but note that the gang charger will only charge 1 battery at a time despite being able to insert all 3), a water-resistant carry case about the size of a binocular case that features self-sealing waterproof zippers in case you get caught out in the rain, 3 sets of extra props in case you break a set, as well as an extra set of remote control joysticks in case they’re lost (you have to unscrew them & store them in the bottom of the controller when packing it up, so the potential for loss is there). Cons: - No collision avoidance: On all other non-Minis from DJI, the drones include forward/side/underside sonar for collision avoidance. So if you’re flying & not watching & come up on a tree, the drone will stop itself & not allow movement in the collision direction. Even as a longtime drone user, this has saved my rear a few times. To save cost & weight (trying to get below that magic 250-gram size), they did not include collision avoidance systems. Being this drone is likely being purchased by first-time drone operators, the very people likely to run into collision issues, not including this puts you at risk of damaging or losing your drone. Make sure you’re fully aware of the surroundings and just look to completely avoid any potential obstacles. - RC Joysticks: You have to unscrew the small thumb joysticks from the remote controller for storage, which could lead to a place where they’re lost. If they’re lost, you’ll have a very difficult time using the RC, which is why the Fly More combo kit comes with an extra set. - The RC uses your phone as the screen for viewing the drone’s flight, but how it’s placed in the RC makes seeing the phone tough in bright, direct light. I found myself scrambling to find shade to be able to see my phone during flight when the sun was directly overhead. Other RCs for other drones give you an ability to angle the phone a little to avoid direct glare. - With the 1 included USB-C charger, you cannot charge both the batteries and the RC controller at the same time. You’ll need a second charger, though the controller needs less charges than the batteries do. - Included dongles for connecting your phone to the controller (USB-C, micro USB, and Apple Lightning) have big, chunky collar around them for grip, but that collar keeps you from using them with many phones with a case in place (I use an Otterbox and the dongles didn’t even reach the port). I swapped it out with a smaller-collared cable & was fine. - Small size and color (whitish-beige) makes it easy to lose sight of when in the sky, especially against clouds. Wish it had more contrasting markings to be able to maintain FAA-required visual line-of-sight with the device. - Props poorly marked for replacement: While all of the props may look the same, 2 sets face a certain direction, while the other 2 sets are installed in the opposite direction. You differentiate with a very, very small line on the props, which if you’re new to droning and aren’t aware of that, you can install the wrong props, which will cause your drone to invert & crash on takeoff. Make sure you look for that marking if you need to replace the props. Would have liked to see a better marking or installation method like on other DJI products. In summary, DJI really did a great job with this drone. Despite wanting a nearly pocket-sized drone when the Mini 1 came out, I avoided it due to lack of critical features. DJI rectified that fully with this drone, making the Mini 2 one of the most feature-packed drones in an ultra-compact size that you could possibly buy. If this is your first drone, or you’re just looking for something smaller, I highly recommend the Mini 2.

So far it’s been great…. Longer flight times 4K videos light weight got more attachments on the way. Been having fun flying my Mavic pro is getting jealous

Very good overall for the price. I am a professional photographer who bought this as his first drone. It works extremely well for video and pretty well for photos. Shoots 4K video and RAW photo. Pro settings are not as intuitive as would have liked, selective focus could use work. And struggles in low light. But over a great product takes crisp photos, and even crisper video perfect for digital photography, maybe not ideal for print.

Works as advertised and is easy to use. Having different settings for speed is nice and the camera is pretty good. This is not for small children, the blades are like razors during operation and be mindful of the laws surrounding use of a drone.

Bought this drone about a month ago and it's an awesome buy .YouTube family has a lot of good help/tip videos to help a rookie like me understand what not to do and how to be a great pilot. The picture quality is great and video is totally awesome to watch. Definitely not disappointed with my purchase.

Fantastic do everything lil drone. Went ATV riding in the Utah desert with the fam and one of the best photos I received the most likes on my FB page was an eye level mid air 4k shot from this baby !! Stable crisp shot in full detail with no distortion. Amazing lil thing !!

The drone was delivered early as promised 3 days and it is the smoothest fastest easiest drone I've ever flown DJI mini2. Best buy made it seamless and uncomplicated to obtain the newest drone from dji! Super satisfied!

I own this one and a DJI Mavic 2 Pro. Of the two, the Mini 2 is really more fun to fly. It's fast and the controller has a great feel. The one drawback is the camera. It has a fixed f/2.8 lens, so images aren't as sharp as they could be a lot of the time. The camera's sensor is also quite small compared to the Mavic 2 Pro, so it doesn't perform as well in low light. It seems to perform much better for video than still photos. All that said, if you're just getting into drones and want to have a lot of fun, this is your ticket!

Have enjoyed this drone so far, comes with everything needed to fly and extra! Was easy to set up and very quite compared to the bigger drones. Can definitely see this as a perfect beginner drone but enough features to interest a more experienced pilot. Great for traveling

Absolutely love this drone. First one I have owned and very easy to fly. Takes amazing video and pictures but like any drone, battery life is short so be aware of this when flying. If you want a great drone for under $600 then this is it.

My first drone and I am so addicted. This thing is amazing. I watched a few YouTube videos on how to operate. It took less than 5 min for me to be in the air flying this thing and I was super comfortable after just 2 days. I’m no spring chicken either.

I love this item, I have a bigger drone but buying this one was worth the money, since it comes with what I would have to spend money individually, I just bought the fly more combo. Easy online purchase and got my order on the exact day it would be ready.

Awesome drone. Great for beginners! I do strongly recommend you get an SD card for this little guy. Once you get used to flying, you're gonna wanna film everything you can so it's a good idea to buy these 2 items together.

This is the most amazing drone I have ever owned! It practically flies itself! You really have to be negligent to crash it! Pictures and video are amazing, and I can’t wait to fly it at the beach!!

Great beginner drone at an amazing price, if you want a great drone without declaring bankruptcy then get this, still records at 4K @ 30fps how????!!! Amazing

Excellent drone for the beginner and the novice. As with any DJI product, quality is great. Purchased the “Fly More” combo for an additional $80.00 compared to base package, It was a bargain. Would recommend to a friend

Is my first time drone andni found this item so nicely and spectacular ppl complain on this but i found this very cool. I notice the cable that come with this dji control not make any contact with androids but thanks i have a type c type c on both sides cable and the dji cintrol connect immediately and i complete the setup. On the first flight ✈️ i walk to a park air plane field and i did my first flights was so quiet drone i wan to try other models as well. If you buy this get the 3 battery pack cz it will use faster the battery i keep it thanks best buy also the financing option is just 30 a month

Moved from a Mavic Pro to this. Does everything the big one did yet fits in your pocket. Love the battery charger and the new charging features. The app leaves a bit to be desired camera-wise but I expect that to be improved.

Absolutely worth every penny. It’s fast easy too fly and just overall a great drone. Before you buy make sure you have a u3 micro SD card any other don’t record it 4K
