The Mavic Mini is my first drone, I took it out briefly the other day but tonight was my first proper flight.

Here are my first thoughts.


1. Why does the shutter speed only go up to 4 seconds? Every other Mavic drone including the Spark goes up to 8 seconds.

2. Manual ISO/Shutter is essential for video.

The flying experience is bloody awesome, so much fun. But I must admit I want more from the picture and video quality, 8 second shutter and manual settings for video would make it a lot better though.

Congratulations DJI, you did exactly what you set out to achieve... I already know after 1 night of flying, I want and need the Mavic 2 Pro.

That is why the 2Pro exists.

Awesome night shoot, agreed the manual video will be a must.
I feel i will be experiencing  something like you say, since I always wanted a mavic pro, the P2 even more but I was scared to crash it, the mini will be perfect for practice.

Good night time photo. I have the MA and picked up this MM for additional portability and additional fun on a full day of flying with my nephew. Enjoy your flying.

Be nice to have some manual control with video, but as for 8second shutter, yes gimbal is very good but it’s not a tripod and particularly on such a light craft 8 second shutter is almost impossible to get sharp image, 4 second will get you almost all you need .

We should remember we have paid a lot less for this craft than any other dji craft including spark .
Hopefully we will get some add ons in future FW updates.
Great photo .

Very nice image.
And you are right. That are features I will miss.
If you want those things, you probably have to step up to the Air or even higher.

Agreed -- that's actually a very impressive photo, not sure you could get anything sharper than that with my original Mavic Pro.

Haha, the Mini is your gateway drug to this just like the Spark was for me.  

Now look at the list of crap I own to the left over there under my name.  And that's just the DJI stuff!
