Hey All,

As many of you may know, my first Mavic Mini didn't work out so well (discussed HERE).  However, so far the replacement has been working out very well.

Here is a short video showing one of my first flights with the new one.  I didn't plan out this particular flight line, just kind of went for it while I was checking to see if this one had any jello effect like the first one.  It turned out to be a pretty fun line, so I thought I'd share.  

You can tell I'm still trying to get used to the rates on the Mini's sticks because there are a bunch of bobbles in there, but it was still a fun flight.

There are no color edits at all and only like 1 or 2 cuts in the edit to remove a major operator error.  



Cheers!
David

Ah great your back in the Air, have to say I’m pretty fond of this little bird, I know many will criticize what it hasn’t got, but there is a lot to appreciate about it and I think you hit the nail on the head just having a fun video, because I think most who fly this will love it for its potential to have fun with to try fly places you won’t risk your 2k M2P, for newbies it’s a tremendous starting point, a relatively safe reliable craft that you can learn to fly pretty quickly, I know it doesn’t have OA , but when I learned first there was no OA and you just got on with learning and knowing the cost of recklessness.
The video quality certainly for me in your video was excellent they say it’s a bit sharp but I’m not adverse to a bit of sharp, I think also for those who want to make adjustments there will be some scope to do this.

Thanks for taking the time to do the video.

We don’t always see everything eye-to-eye, but I agree with everything you just said there!

You're welcome. With so many comparisons videos out there.
In your opinion is it worth having this one? Considering I have the
Mavic Pro and Zoom. Not trying to put you on the spot, so feel free to PM me.

Hi Woe,

I’ll give a bit more of an in-depth answer later, but the answer is a solid “IT DEPENDS!”  Lol!

From a functionality standpoint, your larger drones are going to do everything and more than the Mini!  However, there are some use cases where a smaller drone is just better.  I plan on keeping the mini in my vehicle or backpack with me pretty much at all times.  I wouldn’t do that with my far more expensive M2P for several reasons.  

I also like the Mini for tighter and riskier situations I would be less comfortable putting my other drones into.

So I guess you’ve kind of got to look at how you might use it and see if the extra money spent is worth it to you.

Cheers,
David

KlooGee, nice video, where is the nice town located?  That park looks pretty new, any idea how old it is?  Thank you for sharing, and glad all worked out.

Hi Bob,

It is in SW Ohio not too far from where I live.  It is an old industrial town that has been going through quite a bit of revitalization in the last several years.  The park itself is indeed new.  I think it has only been open about a year or so now and is part of the revitalization work they are doing.  I believe they tore down some old abandoned buildings and created a great public space.

Thanks for watching!

I'm glad the replacement MM is working out for you David. I really am. I guess I'm a little late to the party here on this thread, but I've been waiting to hear those words "I love my mini" from your other thread, LOL!!

I guess I haven't specifically said that yet, but I kinda do love it!   I haven't had any problems with the replacement.  For the price, it is a great little drone.
