DJI Mavic Mini drone is a perfect, little thing that will make your photos and videos easier to shot, edit, and share. It has plenty of absolutely great features, and we will now present them to you. You may be surprised at what a 249g-drone can offer and achieve.

Features of DJI Mavic Mini

Weight

DJI Mavic Mini weighs only 249g. You may wonder why is this so important, and why couldn`t it have been 250g for example. Well, all the drones that weigh 250g and more must be registered with the aviation authorities. In the USA this is the FAA, and in the UK it`s Civil Aviation Authority. If you are an amateur or simply do not want to go through the registration process, this drone is perfect for you as it offers great quality without any registration needed. You should not worry whether it will collapse mid-air or crumble, it is surprisingly stable in the air regardless of size. And also, the fact that it is really small may lead you to think that the performance will be impaired, but this is not the case with DJI Mavic Mini.

Battery

Being one of the smallest, yet most high-quality drones, it has pretty good battery life. You can take photos and make videos for about 30 minutes while in the air. You should note, though, that the battery life can be a bit shorter if there are heavy winds, so you may be able to use it for 26, 27 minutes, which is still impressive.

If you want to have more time shooting videos up in the air, you can always get the Fly More Combo. This is a package that consists of a two-way charging hub that will double the battery span. It also includes two extra batteries and a 360-degree propeller guide, which is really useful. With this package, you can easily use the drone for 90 minutes before the batteries run out.

The controller is connected to your phone

The DJI Mavic Mini controller unfolds and connects to your phone, whether you are using an Android or iOS smartphone. The controller contains a micro-USB port used for charging as well as connecting to your phone. Pressing L will start video recording, and pressing R will take a photo. This is very useful if you are wearing gloves, for example. It is quite easy to connect the drone with the phone, and you can enjoy using the drone very fast, as it does not take long to connect everything. Best of all is that you can fly the drone at a distance of 2.5 miles and will not lose the connection at all. The best results are produced if you use airplane mode on your phone because the connection is even better.

The DJI Fly app is better than ever

You can find complete guides, example videos showing how certain modes will look right in this app. This is pretty useful, especially if you are a beginner in drone photography and video recording. You will also find out that there are perfect function tutorials as well as in-app tips. Furthermore, there are tips for areas in which you can fly safely, but they are only made for China, so not useful in the USA, or anywhere else. The creators will hopefully change it in near future. On the other hand, you can edit videos inside the app. You will have several templates and editing options, which combined with sharing on social media makes it really useful.

It has great QuickShots

Taking 15-second videos and sharing them on social media instantly has never been easier. There are several QuickShot modes that you can choose from on DJI Mavic Mini and you will not be disappointed. There is Rocket mode, that will make the drone ascend while you are at the center of the frame. Also, there is Dronie mode which up-and-away move will make you quite popular on social media as it looks stunning. There are also other modes, like Helix which is amazing as well. One purpose of these modes is simply to have fun while flying your drone, and that is precisely what you should do.

The camera will not let you down

The DJI Mavic Mini camera has ½.3 inches large sensor that captures 12MP images. It can shoot a 2.7K video at 30fps, as well as 1080p video at 60fps. For some this won`t be enough, as they want a 4K video, but the quality is again not impaired by the 2.7K. This resolution is perfect for social media, which suits most people. The gimbal has 3 axes, making it very stable. It produces clear, high-quality video and photos, with a lot of details captured.

It has three different flight modes as well

The DJI Mavic Mini really truly has a lot to offer. The three different flying modes will fulfill your every need. You can use the Sport mode if you want to fly your drone at a larger speed, for example. Or, the CineSmooth mode slows the drone movement thus enabling you to take the perfect shot. If you don`t want to speed up or slow down your drone, you can use the Position mode, which is actually a default mode for flying.

It is easy to use

Whether you are a professional photographer or just someone who wants to fly the drone and make amazing photos and videos, the DJI Mavic Mini is easy to use. Starting with the fact that you don`t have to register it in order to use it, being able to edit and share the content of the drone easily, and it being light as a feather, the DJI Mavic Mini is one great choice for a drone.

The price vs quality ratio is great

Having in mind all the great features this drone has, the DJI Mavic Mini is worth every penny. This small, light and the most importantly stable drone is always ready for new footage. Once you get it, you will be able to pack it into your backpack easily and head off to a new adventure. And all of this without a major impact on your finances. We hope you enjoy it. Have fun.
