Shut up and take my money!!

Someone just bought something that's not suppose to exist yet. Like something from another dimension.

Also no obstacle avoidance.

10KM range with no OA. I don't know.

DO you think the current Mini batteries will interchange on the Mini 2?

In this video it appears to be backwards compatible but with the lower voltage you probably won't be able to capture 4k, and have the same wind performance of the original mini but this is just speculation.
@5:20

Watch the video - no they do not.

Legally in the US you have to have a line of site to the drone. No way can you see a Mini from 10Km away.

@5:20 both batteries fit the new mini, what am i Missing?

I'm gonna have that tattoo'd on my forehead!

"Fit" is not the same as "work". The new batteries are LiPo 2S and put out a different voltage than the original Mini's Li Ion 2S batteries.
And you absolutely would not attempt to use the same charger to charge LiPos or the LiPo charger to charge Li Ion!

It fits, but is not fully seating, I'm sure it's not going to work.

Do we know the price yet?  I bought my Mavic Mini on release and this seems like a really good upgrade but at the same time I don't know if I could fork over another $100-$200.

States weight of 242g on the box

They are different batteries, not compatible between the two models. Also 4k60fps is out unfortunately... not sure on raw photos yet though.

So next week we will be able to buy it or?
Don't think it will be available for another 2 weeks in Norway, Pocket 2 is still not in stock here.

Yeah, quite wrong.

on the video I noticed inconsistencies on the packaging for those who speak French look well on the box as is written 'embalage' ???? moreover I find it strange that dji writes in English OK in Chinese OK but in French ???

Price as of Adorama $449 drone, $599 Fly more combo - also combo price verified by purchaser at Best Buy!

You’re correct, but having such a strong signal guarantees good signal in VLOS.

I received from another group, a similar link:

Lucky guy! It’s great they add all these features in the mini and kept the weight the same!

well it seems legit - 4k as rumored. the occusync and increased speed tolerance are the 2 things that convinced me already...though i don't like the new bag. the mini case was better, but well...

The cam could shoot 4K because it is the same as the Pocket and Action. The limitation was the transfer speed that couldn't cope with increased 4K data. It needed to be increased at least to 60 Mps to shoot 4K. I have been told that the limitatiion on transfer speed was due to overheat problems during tests (it seems testers got a 4K Mini at the beginning). To solve the overheating problem DJI reduced the transfer speed and limiting the cam to 2.7K. If you look closely to the front of the Mini 2 there is a horizontal slot. This maybe is a cooling entrance to solve the overheat problem.

Hello there Tide. Thank you for reaching out and for posting this interesting video photos at DJI Forum. As of the moment, we do not have any information with DJI's future products. Kindly please stay tuned to the latest updates by subscribing to DJI official website at www.dji.com or following us on social media ( Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DJI , Twitter: https://twitter.com/djiglobal , YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/djiinnovations ). Thank you for your support and please stay safe always. .

60Mbps can do it but I hope it can go up to 100Mbps for best result.

This looks rather real.
But.....
You never know until DJI releases it.
It is strange that there is no event (at least, not that I know off) teaser

This is very much a Christmas product, beginners etc . In time for both thanksgiving and Christmas markets. So marketing wise this is the way to go, I expect many of these to be sold . I’m thinking of getting another one because of the ocusync and 4 k just hope it also supports raw.

You and me both.

My finger is poised over the buy button ready to push.

And occusync 2 means thatyou can fly with Smartcontroller now that the Fly app has been ported.

Woo Hoo.

10KM range with no OA.  I don't know.

Most people who fly out to those distances (or at least attempt to) turn off OA anyway to conserve battery power and to get that range the drone will need to be at max flight altitude (400' AGL) to gain a clear line of site to maintain the signal. With the exception of birds there will be no obstacles to avoid that high in non congested areas and if a bird wants your drone out the sky OA will not stop that from happening. Range and OA don't go hand-in-hand.

What is more important for distance flying is the battery power and thus overall flight time so the drone has enough juice for a safe return and the power of the motors being able to handle a moderate breeze - you don't want to be that guy who turns a Mini 2 around from 6.21 miles away into a 20MPH wind if it can't handle it - or you'll be going home empty handed.

The front slot is a forward light, but the two eye holes that use to be stickers are now open to allow airflow so I'd agree they are getting more air inside to keep things cooler.


MM1

The new prop holder looks promising, hopefully no Rear Left prop issues on the mini 2.

Yeah, I can well imagine they are not best pleased with that store - I half expect the store Manager will be looking for a new job fairly soon for breaching the contract they would have inevitably had in pace with DJI.

There is already a better method to describe signal strength by using signal emission power, or by using decibel of the transmitter or receiver. This to substitute using distance as a form of measuring signal quality.

My point being is that there is no correlation between the signal quality (whether CE or FCC) and the drone not having obstacle avoidance given your post where you were not sure that the Mini 2 could have a 10KM range with no OA...

Thanks, AJ!

You'll be fine without OA mate - as long as it doesn't get blown off course - not that I'd recommend flying any drone that far anyway.

60Mbps can do it but I hope it can go up to 100Mbps for best result.

I wrote 60Mps because is the minimum and what the M1P had. MA1, Pocket and Action with the same sensor have 100 Mps.

There have been several leaks so far.

Seems to be a lot better than the regular mavic mini with 4K and occusync and pano. I like it.

Makes me wonder when...

"I would like to clarify something for everyone watching this forum topic.  

The Software Development Kit only grants access to the pre-existing functions of a drone's firmware and hardware but the SDK can not change what is under the hood.  So the SDK can only expose already existing features of a drone. Which means, any current limitations of the drone will continue to apply since these are dictated by the drone's firmware/hardware.

To know what features are possible with the Mavic Mini 2.

In the manual, there is a section called "Intelligent Flight Mode" and there is not a waypoint feature here.  DJI's SDK engineers do not have any control over this and if anyone would like to request this as a feature please email Support@DJI.com "

You will probably hear it
