The Mavic Mini is a definite inprovement in RC range & flight time over the P3 Standard. I've been out 11,000' (so far) with the Mini over water & never lost contact. In the same location my P3 Standard is lucky to get 5000'. Don't expect this sort of range in a congested WiFi environment though. Where the Mini lacks is in custom camera settings & windworthiness. The P3 allows complete customization of the camera settings with many more options available. The P3 is also much better able to handle windy conditions due to its increased weight & thrust. Factor in how & where you use your drone to make a determination. If you primarly use it nearby, in moderate winds, as as a "point & shoot" drone, then the Mini is a good choice. If you want the ability to customize camera options, fly in windy conditions, or wish to use an app like Litchi for Waypoint flight, then stick with the P3 Standard. Or consider purchasing a Mini as a second drone. |
