I'm just glad no one snatched up that drone when it was landed behind the school! You Canadians are truly good people lol
"CAN I GET BETTER LOOKING", dude I spit tea all over my phone!
I'm glad you pointed that out about the batteries because 2 other drone channels said the batteries are compatible with each other but you showed there not.
This man must have a good aura. My stress level drops when watching C.D.'s videos I often fall asleep.
Yeah you're right dad figure is also make it, as long as he become himself....unlike ken heron or another drone guy is so alien to me😁
Olá sou do Brasil São Paulo adorei seus vídeos sou muito simples moro em uma comunidade gostaria muito de ter um drone pois não tenho condições de comprar sou pai de duas meninas assistimos juntos as vezes vídeo de drones e me chamou muito atenção seus vídeos meu maior sonho era de ter um drone parabéns pelo vídeo tenkio
His energy is almost child like. I hope i have his zest for life when I'm his age.
I just got my miny and 2i don't know how I flew befor.
Finally took my Mini2 out today! So incredible to see this little guy do so much! Such a blast! Can't wait to get the drone out again!
At the 21:33 time I thought the OLD MINI 1 vid looked better to me....seemed crispier at 2.7K but thtas me...LOL. Still will get the MINI 2.
The review I was waiting for...
Thank you for such knowledgeable and insightful information.
Captain Drone is not only knowledgeable, he’s also non biased, and enthusiastic.
Best drone content on CZcams hands down 💪
Getting my Mini 2 today, gave the Mini 1 I had to my brother and he’s really stoked.
Thanks for doing such a thorough comparison, Cap'n, it was great to see the side-by-sid pics and video. As someone who just got the Mini 1 last month, it was nice to see that I'm really not missing out on much not having 4K (as I thought), but it was really interesting to see the penetration test, I hadn't thought about the fact that OccSync would have such an advantage. Just another fantastic review from the best in the game - keep safe!
I like when you do reviews in your garage..... it seems like a cool place to hangout........
Love how much input you put into your videos, to show the public and first time drone buyers the true differences between the two amazing Mini’s. Being a Mini owner I look to you before making quick decisions and spending my hard earned money. I’m a little let down with my pre-formed opinion of Occu Sync, for in my head 6 miles, and a unstoppable RC signal!! Thanks for all your info, tips, tutorials, please keep sharing and stay flying my Mavic Friends,😎
P.S. after recent events here in the U.S.A, I find myself dreaming a bit of your beautiful home( Canada). I may see you at the park flying one day, now that would be the perfect day, for I am a Redhead Hotblooded guy, maybe I could work for you on cold days of scheduled flying, lol,😎
Love the Mini 2! Your video convinced me to get one! Thank you for your in-depth extremely informative reviews! They are awesome!
I watched a lot of mini 2 reviews and you really got in depth and hit on some things that really matter and I want to thank you
Just got the mini 2 in today and they are all charged and ready to go in the morning... perfect timing since I closed on my first house by the beach!!!
Congrats on both purchases.
I've been waiting for this video for quite a while now.... Awesome Steve !!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I’ve been watching your videos for about a year and now I’m gonna be 12 yrs old. Thanks for introducing me to the wonderful world of drones !!!
Thanks, nice look at the two offerings, and the Mini 2's additional features over the 1. Great video!
Love the two side by side. Going to buy the mini 2 after seeing both together. Thank you for all the great videos. Always great information
Another difference that you missed is the Mavic Mini uses micro USB and the DJI Mini 2 uses USB-C. That goes for the drone and the charging station. Other than that you did a great job Steve at comparing them and showing the differences. 👍
Even though I'm not interested in the Mavic Mini, this still contains very interesting info about the Mini 2 :)
The best review!!! Nothing confused and perfect for desire what I can buy. Thanks 🙏
Great, comprehensive video Steve. As a photographer I like the freedom that RAW images give me and never having owned any drone before, I think you've just made up my mind for me. Cheers.

The comparison we have been waiting for !!!; I guess highlights how good the original Mini still is !! Video (assume standard settings on both?) on the Mini 1 looked less "saturated / dark" compared to the Mini 2 and thought the "detail / sharpness" on the 1 was pretty damn comparable !!!; great comparison Captain and loved the "cartoon segueing" of your good self !!! nice effect!
Oh Dear oh Dear Captain!; going through Captain Drone review withdrawal !!!!; revisited this as I picked up a Mini 1 today for $200 AUS (only 6 battery cycles) and compared the footage to the Mini 3 Pro; very surprising outcome; colour profile on the 3 Pro looks better however the overall image (sharpness in particular) looks very similar!!!; cant wait for that comparison between the Spark (and you made an interesting comment regards the sensor) and all DJI Mini Drones that have come after !!!
Havent lost reception, great entertaining flights Captain Drone Sir, thank you
Excellent comparison and information on both drones. Really helpful, thanks.
I just bought a used Mini 1 with two batteries for $400CAD... too good a deal to pass up. I might upgrade at some time in the future but for now, wow what a great drone!
Mini 2 fly more combo is on sale right now, $699 canadian
Wonderful and concise review. I wished that they had a sale on the Mini 2 or Mavic Air 2 on DJI's website. Their big deals are for the action and handheld cameras :( Waving from The Bahamas :)
Hey Cap.
Thanks to your original review I got into a Mavic Mini after being interested in drones for years.
The kicker was when you went out on your bike and took your Mini with you. I ride too and having a motorcycle friendly drone is awesome.
It's been a constant companion, on outings with two wheels and four, even now that it is beginning to freeze in Northern, NY.
So far I've put 31 hours on my Mini and flown 227 km and have no regrets. I even got my FAA license here in the states.
I'm a frequent viewer of your channel and love your content.
I wish the Mini 2 hadn't come out quite so soon after having gotten into the 1, but I love my drone nonetheless.
Excellent report! Comprehensive yet understandable. I'm just getting into drones and your channel is just perfect.
Thank you!
Mini 1 seems to be the better one on camera, much brighter image. Glad I seen your video before jumping on the band wagon of the Mini 2
Agreed the mini 1 image was much brighter.
Agree
So I bought one. lol. Cant wait.
@@jprophet420 you will love it man. Mini 1 is still awesome.
@@jprophet420 by the way , i bought the "easy lights" with velcro to see it when it goes far. I like them. $27 in Amazon. Check them out. Congrats on your new drone.
The light on the mini 2 was supposed to be an obstacle avoidance sensor but they change their mind and installed a light instead.That’s what I think.
Capital, the best review and comparison explained. Thanks
After watching video after video of mini 1s not able to make it back home in the wind im sold on the more power of the mini 2. Great video Steve
These mini are so one of a kind 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
But there are two🤔
@@NOT-A-BAD-GUY lol good one
17:18 This was destroying my world... 😢 But in 28:45 you really brought it back to life. 😂
Bought it for my wife she started with jjrc x11 and she loved it. Mini 2 has no sensors but the dji mini 2 has awesome features and the controller is great. She has what I like to call just send it. She did got scared because it was so far away. Told her just push return to home she was very impressed it came back and landed next to our take off point. I love my mavic air I don't worry as much flying my dji drones used to that's a lot of money to loose no strings to pull it back. Dji drones give me a great sense of confidence with my zino pro not so much. Thank you for your videos learning a lot and trying fpv with my tinygo fpv beginners kit. Thanks again and hope to see more videos on your website
Great job capt. Really nice review !!
when I say penetration " get your dirty thoughts out of your mind" , I was like :D
It reminded me of 'the MEG'.
FINALLY THE MINI "REVIEW"!
Another great review! After seeing this, I'm feeling better about my Mavic Mini 1.
Another great review. Thanks for pointing out the differences, and all the information you provided about the batteries between the two models, that is good stuff to know. Your videos are so well done! I have the Mini 2 but I thought the picture from the Mini 1 actually looked better in your video. I also have the Mavic Air 2, and I definitely think the Air 2 has more solid video than the Mini 2. But DJI likes to do updates, so I'm thinking they will improve the video on the Mini 2 down the road. Even as it currently is, the Mini 2 has really good video, and in the two weeks I've had it, I've been very impressed with it.
Great review! I have watched a lot of other videos and yours of course gives the info others leave out. Excellent comparisons. This video must have been a ton of work!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love my mavic mini, the mini 2 would be a great buy.
Great Video, Great Review. That's exactly what I'm trying to decide right now, if I buy the mini1 or mini2. Thanks for the info.
As always really good and comprehensive reviews thumbs up.
Thats cold🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Awesome!
Thank you for all your hard work on top of your day job. You have been my number one drone 'go to' since lockdown as i wrestled with buying a drone which really is a luxury item on my meagre council wage! Black Friday and the discount on the mini 1 equates to me owning a drone..Could have pushed to the 2, but, with your help, understand the 1 is sufficient for my needs. Will continue to follow your channel as it is entertaining as well as informative! Thank you, and to you and all of your subscribers, have a great Christmas and a happy healthy 2021, with love and thanks from Eastbourne England!
Outstanding ! One of your best !
The remote is what has me sold on getting the Mini 2 as I don't like removing my case to mount my phone. The 4k, better wind resistance, and extra minute of flight time is not so much a big deal to me.
Also just noticed, you got a Gladiator...
Yes that and ocusync can't be beat
I love my mavic mini too
Great work on that video Captain ,that is top notch editing and lots of work ,you are very good at what you do ,thanks buddy.
Thanks 👍
Your a true Canadian, great review out in the cold again. Answered many questions here. I need that ocusync for my bush trail videos.
1 st ...love your type of content
Thank you so much 😀
I love drone especially mavic mini
Mavic mini is my dream drone but I can't afford it..and also I am aspiring drone pilot like you...I hope can I have drone in Christmas I hope so.
Great presentation as always, so enjoyable to watch and super informative. Thank you for sharing !!!
So nice of you
Captain Drone I've been fortunate lately. To be able to buy anything you review on your channel. I like both unit's. I have the Mavic Air 2. So I don't see no need to purchased them. I'm feeling good with what I already have. Let somebody else get the opportunity to join our DJi "Club Of Drone's". Thanks!!!! Captain Drone for everything you do in that Canadian Winter!!! You are the Man of Drone's!!!!
nice
I'm not sure about the line light on the front of the mini 2, it looks kinda weird. They should have put 2 lights on the two front arms, like the other mavics. Since the mini 2 I a bit lighter, they could have done that with making it over the weight limit
I would love to save up for the mavic mini 2 hope that you will continue with the amazing content :)
very nice review and accurate, now I can choose which drone I will buy. thanks, Captain Drone
I love this drone very much its captain drone oh my God I am very like it
Can you cover your real thoughts on Autel Evo I. Mine has not made it past 3000ft away without loosing video link and recently board went bad. It is under warranty but only had 3hrs on it and I use it for work. 45days for repair and shipping. Thanks
The EVO uses a different type of penetration system (requires more line of sight connection) without obstructions.
One of your best. Review/ comparison videos to date,,,,,,,, 👍.
Thanks a ton
I just purchased the Mini 2 but I'm still in love with the original Mini's image 😍
To me the mini 1 looked better in 2.7k than the mini 2 in 4k
darker out
mini 2 is nothing amazing compared to the mini 1, I rather keep my Mini 1 and go for the Air 2
The range on the mini 1 is appalling compared to the mini 2.
@@fredstead5652 real life range is not what the paper says, Giving you the example of the Mavic Air 2 that has like 8kms range in specs but the real life test in cities and suburbs you only get like 2km so nothing amazing
@@danielsepulveda912 The Mavic Air 2 weighs over 500g while the mini 2 only weighs 242g so you don't have to subscribe to anything just to fly. Mavic Air 2 wins in almost every other aspect though.
Galileo is the European GPS system 🇪🇺
Happy to see you did this comparison video. I have been feeling a little steamed at you for telling me last March that the magic mini was the best quality beginner drone and if I could get the flymore combo. When this came out and addressed my complaints by upping the power ,going 4K, more lighting and the controller upgrade. But then I had to remember all the cool shots I got etc. But man I find myself wishing I had waited but loved having mini this summer. Thanks for the comparison Steve. I am torn because I would need to sell my mini one now before all the sale prices kick in
Steve, your expertise and reviews are outstanding, including your personal unique style. Very informative and interesting. Well done.
Much appreciated!
I was thinking about "upgrading" my Mini 1 to the Mini 2 but your video showed me that it really isn't worth it. Great video comparison though!
OCCUSYNC 2.0 ALONE MAKES IT WORTH IT
I was thinking the same thing! Yet the Mini1 still is a great bird and if I ever wanted too do a non line of sight flight I always have the MP2! Steve did a great comparison here.
They are fantastic, however cannot afford one. Will have to stick to my Bugs for now.
Me as well. 😕
Nothing wrong with any of the Bugs range............great Drones !!!
I just got a bugs jjrc today!!!! Love it! Best drone I ever owned!!!!
Just curious, I to flew several of the Bugs drones, and enjoyed. However my last two Bugs 4w, ( great flying drone, good power, excellent hover, but one day out flying( both but two different directions) all of sudden, my Bugs just took off in other direction, very calmly, just like someone had a master transmitter and it continued on into the sunset!!! In my house, RC’s are a family hobby, been wanting to really fly the Bugs 8Pro, for my young son loves FPV, and from videos appears to be quite Zippy depending on the battery you choose to run. What’s your latest Bugs drone? Have you had any issues with yours. In case my story was left untold, my second Bugs 4, that I paid 83.00 more for than my previous one, was bringing straight down for landing, all of sudden drone started rising very fast, sport mode if you please, as far as I could follow into the sky, and I’m sure continued on until motors couldn’t handle the altitude, lol, thanks for your info, 😎
@@danielday4519 I Started off with the bugs I have all of them but the bugs 8 and 20 sure some of them have some good distance the FPV not so good my first DJI drone was the spark and then the mavric air got them off Ebay for really cheap I got the mavric air 299.00 that was the combo with extra masterscrew stealth props a range extender was flown 13 times like new works great you should check it out
Thanks Steve . Your reviews are always amazing. Unwrapped the mini 2 for Christmas and I can’t wait to get out for a flight. If only these snow squalls would end here in Penetanguishene Ontario.
Hope you enjoy it!
Finally been waiting for this one
if i could only afford one :(

Thank you Captain Drone, Your the Best. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family
thank you for sharing all the tools used for the test
At 5:30 did anyone else try to wipe their screen because they thought there was yellow lint on it? 😁
Is it me or does the mini 1 provide a better picture?
It's you. Mini 2 has better definition and smoothness. Look at the sky and at his face carefully, and you'll notice the huge difference.
@@renatofdearaujo8997 I disagree. I think the mini 1 picture looks better too
Like always awsome video
The definitive video comparison of the Minis, great job!
Thank you very much!
Need rubber feet to get a grip when doing Jeep landings!!
Any additional weight would put it over the line. 250 grams is a tight restriction. In contrast you had far more accessories available for the original Mavic because it could handle a few more grams with no concerns. I almost always land my Mini on my palm.
@@MartinWillett TRUE
@@MartinWillett When you say the "original Mavic", I can only assume you are referring to the original Mavic Mini (otherwise why bring a completely different model into the conversation?). And didn't Captain Drone show in the video (and other reviewers have also shown this) that the new Mini 2 weighs LESS than the original Mavic Mini? So when you say the original Mavic could handle a few more grams of weight (allowing it to use more accessories), wouldn't this be MORE TRUE of the new Mini 2, which actually weighs less?
@@dronebubba I meant the original Mavic, the Mavic Pro, because that drone has/had numerous accessories available because it was able to handle them without too much of a performance issue. The Mavic Mini complains about the weight of its prop guards, demanding that you fly it back at once because it overloads the motors (actually the battery). Because any accessory which weighs more than a gram would require you to register the drone (wherever 250 grams is a legal threshold) and it would compromise the already puny ability to fight winds there are very few accessories available for the Mavic Mini. Now the Mini 2 is out with more power we could have an awkward situation in which an accessory might work with both the Mavic Mini and the Mini 2 but would put the Mavic Mini over the weight threshold and compromise its performance whilst the Mini 2 could remain under 250 grams and would not have a significant performance drop.
If you want legs, feet, prop guards, skins, sun hoods, floating pontoons, novelty and uprated props and numerous other accessories for the original Mavic. Far fewer accessories are available for almost all other drones. Accessories for the Mavic Mini are very few and far between because of these three factors: anything over a gram puts the Mavic Mini into the over 250-gram category. Secondly adding _anything_ to the Mavic Mini makes it even more compromised on power and thirdly numerous companies made accessories for the Mavic Pro and didn't sell as many as they hoped so they are reluctant to make the same, or worse, mistake again.
None of these issues were as significant with, for example, the Spark, which was over 250-grams to start with and had good power output (if poor endurance) and so could support an accessory market. Even putting a skin on a Mavic Mini would risk putting it over the weight limit which would mean it (or you or both) need to be registered.

Here in Europe Macedonia is around 400$
@@KIKO00752 yeah but mini 1 itself is 800 dollars in india
Good to see the test of reception on both behind the school building. Like to see other tests with hills and trees and other things to see how reception differs between mini 1 and mini2.
This year in june after watching your reviews of BUGS 4W, now I have four drones in very short of time. LOL...
Mavic Pro/Air2/Mini2. I LOVE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL!!!
That is awesome!
Hey cap,
Can i have this one ?
Capt Drone... I was thinking that I was the only one trying to land my drone on my hood... fortunately mine didn’t crash and I was able to save it as it’s started to slide on my hood, but when I saw yours and the angle of your hood I freaked out when I saw the mini 2 sliding down the hood, fender and sadly the concrete. Good video as usual. 👍🏼
Great video! I was disappointed that I got a Mavic mini hardly a month before the mini 2 was released. I am happy that the difference is very little. Thanks again.
This review just confirmed that the mavic mini 1 is still a great drone. I went to the dji website as you recommended and it’s on sale right now. I’ll be buying it for my daughter as a Christmas gift. :-)
Nice review sir...thank you soo much
Great comprehensive comparison between the Mini 1 & Mini 2. 👍👍
Favourite video! Learned a lot about drones in general! Soon to be flyer!
Thank you!
Awesome review/video! I'm doing a kind of wood rack over my Kona roof rack, because when I'm going on trails with it(yes with a Kona) I always film/take pictures of my crew, and since the metal of the car isn't to close, I don't have any issue!!!
Capt., Another great video! Stay with the jeep landings but take it to the body shop and have them put 90° corners on the hood!
