Hi Gelert
I suppose if your a bit queasy then reading some stuff around here won’t help.
But from my perspective, I have so far had no real problems with mini, I’ll spell out the good and not so good it might help.
1/ ease of use and convenience, it’s really excellent and encourages more flying, providing weather is suitable.
2/ Battery life, for this size drone it’s exceptional
3/ Video quality from small camera, I have to say it’s very good probably slightly too sharp, but colours are exceptional and although it doesn’t yet have WB control I have found that the whole warmth of the video somehow makes up for this, (in most situations)
4/ handling, it’s just like all dji drones very good, with one exception although it can handle winds of 20mph, I would recommend flying in winds no higher than 15mph to enjoy the experience.
5/ it’s €400 so expect less quality than M2 , but it’s built pretty good.
6/ and for me this is where it serves great purpose, you can bring anywhere it’s very inconspicuous, anything you see you might want to film or photograph you will because it’s just no hassle and unless your selling the footage you will be pleasantly surprised even coming from M2, it’s very responsive like all dji drones huge fun to fly something as small an fast as this and I would say great little second drone that won’t break the bank.
Somethings it lacks, more camera controls shutter speed, WB, ability to fly into strong winds IE over 20mph, it’s not overloaded with features, just got 4xquickshots, and cinematic mode (tripod).
To enjoy mini you really need to fly within or close to VLOS and if you do and fly in good conditions and good environment then it’s worth the money IMO .
I will end up using this more than M2, but will use M2 when I'm counting on getting good photography.
