DJI Mini 4K Unboxing & First Flight

Cheap cheap and under 250g

Very good cheap beginner drone.

More proof that the Mavic Mini series will never die. And when it does, the world will be shocked and awed. I fondly remember my Mini 2 SEs (minus camera thing and no longer connecting). I don't remember panorama, but oh well.

I still have a Mini 2 with about 20km on it.

Nice find DA.  thanks for sharing.  It does look like another great beginner's drone.  

I've just been looking at the specs on Amazon and I'm struggling to find the difference between this and the Mini 2.

Obviously there are likely to component changes internally, but spec-wise has anyone spotted the difference(s)?

Well spotted...

On paper it does look like a Mini 2 rebranded...

If you think about it, the Mini 4K is a Phantom 3 Pro with twice the range, 1/3rd the weight, a better camera, all at 1/4 the price.

True,  but will the Mini 2 airframe ever die?

Why waste a good airframe

I suppose the injection moulds are expensive to make.

I suppose the injection moulds are expensive to make.

And the development cost too.

I think what I meant was they already have molds that have life left in them for Mini 2,   no point wearing out the Mini 3 molds when they can do the same to that airframe in the future.
