I was just posting out some daily news articles and I ran across this article from RT. The image for the story shows an entirely different drone than in the video. If you watch the video the drone is clearly a DJI Mavic Mini. Almost taken out by a fish. LoL

It looked like the Mini to me in the video. Was the 1st Mavic Pro that short? Take a close look. Look at other items in comparison to the drone. I'm not buying that the video shows a full-size DJI drone. I could be wrong. But I know that board on the far side of the water is very likely 4 inches wide. Wouldnt the Mavic Pro be near twice the size or more?

i owned a mavic pro, i can recognize one from a good ways away.
look at the arms and red LED on them its wide and red which is what mavic pro did, changed every other version of the mavic.  as far as i am away, mavic mini entirely lights arm LED lighting.   
its very grey color which was only color of mavic pro for a good long while and most common. where as the mavic mini is closer to a whitish color.
look at lines and seams, points to a battery being ontop, like mavic pro.  the mini battery gets installed inide the drone at the back.

look at the front camera, silver and rounded..  the mini uses enlongated rectangular camera thats black.

heres how front arm of mavic pro looks:

Hereforthebeer is right. The red led on the front arm is a dead giveaway that it's not a mavic mini.

Good points. I didn't realize that was a light. I thought it was something they attached to it for some reason. Their camera must only record in 1.5p LoL. I stand corrected. I did notice 2 other differences. No body vent in the back like the mini and the underside of the motor mount looks different in the video. Well, it's still a funny drone video in the news. LoL
