Hey everyone, I was thinking what the best choice is. The Mini 2, or the Mavic Air 2?

Either one is a GOOD choice!  I think it depends on your preferences and how much you want to spend.

I really like the Mavic Air 2... it takes excellent quality photos and 360 degree panoramas. Having said that, I also have the Mini 2 and it is great too.

Overall, I would recommend the Mavic Air 2 if you can afford the extra cost. Also, highly recommend getting the drone you choose with the Fly More kit.

I would get the mini 2 and get the combo like Raptor suggested. I have the Air 2 and it rocks but there may be new restrictions coming and the under 250 gram feature is sweet. I've also been flying alot with goggles and if you do the mini will fit through tighter openings and may be of benefit if your flying FPV. Either way you'll love it!

Tbh I can't decide which one to go with.

I'm definitely getting the Fly More Kit

And I would also like to buy extra accessories like a fourth battery etc

So I think it would be logical to go with the Mini 2 since it won't be too expensive

Can you by any chance send some images taken from both drones for a comparison please?

I think it would be really helpful

Since on YouTube, there are comparison videos of Mini 2 and Inspire 2 and they show both footages to be nearly identical

How do you fly with goggles on the Mini 2?

I thought the Mini 2 wasn't compatible with goggles

Buy both....problem solved and no more procrastinating.

That would be a waste of money since I'm only going to be flying them in holidays

I can highly recommend the Air 2. I was originally deciding between the Mini2 & the Air2 - decided to spend a bit more and go with Air2 and not in the slightest regretting the extra spend. I really like the 48MP camera, even though the sensor is quite small. Overall I think you get a lot more than the extra spend.
Regarding drone registration, I think you anyway need to register the mini because it has a camera...or does it comply as being a toy? {Maybe this only applies to UK/EU though}

However, you do not need to register yourself if your drone(s):

• weighs less than 250g and has no camera or other sensor able to detect personal data; or
• even with a camera or other sensor, weighs less than 250g, but is a toy (this means that its documentation shows that it complies with ‘toy’ Directive 2009/48/EC);

I use a phone goggle setup. It's been great.

Yeah, I have to register the Mini 2 since I'm in the UK. I guess I might buy the Air 2 then

I'm thinking the Mini 3 if they release it this year and it has obstacle avoidance sensors.

Otherwise, I might go with the Air 2 or the Air 2S

Then Mavic Air 2 is the best overall option.

Always good to think things through clearly and not make an impulse buy.

Yeah, but the EU new restrictions about classifications has got me confused
