DJI has thus far been able to hold off the competition for the most part in just about every corner of the drone market. With the Mavic Mini offering, it seems they want to bridge the gap between small size and ultra light weight while achieving maximum flight time and range. They are on their way.

Hey Dustin just wanted to say thanks for all of your highly informative, helpful, understandable and most of all UNBIASED reviews and just to encourage you to keep them coming because it’s a great way to keep the rest of us from making the expensive mistakes....mostly......anyway thanks and mahalo👍
Thanks for talking about the mavic mini. I’m getting it for Christmas and now I know exactly what to do when I get it.
Thank you for not screaming "WHATS UP GUYS" while flailing your hands around like the robot from the old Lost in Space tv series. You earned my sub bc of that and the excellent content of your work. Carry on!
You mean "PWHATS UP!"?
Sounds like milhouse to me
There's always some dude walking up lol
One of your videos came across my feed, I watched it and fell in love with the drone... a few videos later and I purchased one!! Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks Dustin...always a fan of your reviews. I watch them constantly. You inspired me to start my own channel.
Awesome videos on the Mavic Mini. Learning so much! Keep them coming. Cheers! Happy holidays!
Thank you for your videos on the mavic mini, I really appreciate it. Have a great day and Merry Christmas!
Cool, I like the experimenting you did with this. Learned some good things from this video. Thanks!
I just recently found your channel and I'm really digging your videos man. I personally don't own a drone yet ; But your videos are inspiring.
When you purchase a drone be aware the technology is changing almost every week so try not to blow your budget on the first one you see.
Dji is currently the market leader and from my experience the best there is but the drones are expensive and so to are the accessories,bye the time you fill all the accessorie compartments in your case you'll see an add for a new release that makes your current drone seem like a dinosaur
@@mancavecreations6535 Not necessarily correct.
The M2P is in my opinion the best on the market at the moment and with all the tech it boasts its is fairly future proof for a while.
@@mancavecreations6535 I wish there was an American Alternative to DJI. China sucks
There we go, I’ve seen other videos regarding this little experimenting to uncover this ability, thank you for not jumping on the “It’s gimped!” Bandwagon a certain someone started.
Mini 2 is out with still no active tracking
Just bought this drone, your videos really helped me make my mind up in getting one.
Dustin love the video ! You realize that it’s using just the GPS tracking to land ! If it gets into 2 ft of where it took off I think it’s doing great ! Keep up the good work !
Love the video, I'm thinking of buying it. These videos really help. Thank you.
6:20 You can even take picture or record internally on the SD card using the dedicated buttons! However they will use the last configured settings for video or photo.
As always great videos dustin, I'm sure tracking function will appear on the dji litchi app when they have it ready for the mini as well as way points etc.esp if dji don't update the firmware to include them.
Definitely enjoyed the video Dustin!! Merry Christmas to you & your family 🎅🎄
love your flight test videos, I can't wait to get a drone. Thanks !!
I’m so jealous with the weather your having. I live in the Evergreen State of Washington and it’s been miserable. It’s been raining for almost 5 day’s. All I’m doing is flying my mini in my garage! LOL.
Try living near London rain rain rain
LIKE A T6 I’m sure if I lived there I would also fly my Mavic Mini in my garage! 😂
i feel u bro. i just got one and the weather is shit
Great test indeed. Thank you. I reckon for the budget this is up there - is there anything better?? It's just in my budget. The picture quality although not 4K, it seems is still excellent.
Very good series. Thanks for all the info. Just ordered one today
With those long shadows cast on the field when the gimble's pointed straight down, making giant silhouettes on the ground, you could do some sweet formations/animations... hmm. Maybe I'll try that.
Great video. I’ve just ordered one of these. I’m in the U.K but will be taking the little fella to Portugal in April. Can’t wait! Thanks as always.
What's up man love the vids found u cus I'm actually getting one here soon but did u do a video on like how high it can go?
i still learning and learning alot from you thank you so much
The thing I want to know is, did you ever get any work out of that guy who interrupted the early testing video? 😄
Yeah good point, did you make any bank off that guy Dustin? Curious future pilots are rubbing their paws in anticipation! 🤭
Yeah what about Hans??
I went over to his place afterwards and advised the best times of day to shoot but he never called me.. lol
@@DustinDunnill Thanks for the update! Stay safe my friend.
He didn’t call because he wanted you to film for free..... People always want it for free.
Good videos ... thanks
Merry christmas !!
Thanks for great videos, your videos made my choice easier, I'm going to buy my first drone 😁 Dji Mavic Mini Fly more combo ! So looking forward to this. Thanks again for your great work 👍 Best regards from Norway 🇧🇻
Dustin...great vids! Hey how do you record the dji screen real time? Basically what is your setup...if you do not mind? Thanks!
thanks for the good review. you deserve more subs!
Thanks for the review of Quick Shots 👍
Just got mine thanks for your reviews
Hey Dustin! I wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas from Santa Fe!!
Thanks. My other home 🙂🎄
Great tutorials Dustin, Thanks. I'm waiting for delivery of a dji mini in a couple of days.
Can you explain more about return to home - and how to set that so my drone doesn't fly away - as I read about.
Leave the settings default for now and test it from 100 feet or more. Only reason it wouldn't return is if wind is too strong, crashes into something is in front of it or runs out of power. I've never has an issue otherwise 🍻
Thanks, this video is very helpful
I hope you and the family has an amazing Christmas and new year!
In Hawaii it's called Mele Kalikimaka
DJI should do paid update for active track. i'd pay like $20-25 for active track on the mini
There's an idea. Kind of like what Parrot did 🤔
That would add to the weight :D
@@coryzirk5299 what would add weight? It's just a software update. It obviously has the capability to track you during quick shots.
Lol. No weight addition from a software update 😂
@@stevehansen266 clearly I was joking haha
Try precision landing after being exactly over landing pad after 30 ft in air. Use camera pointing down. Works for my Air. Also, Air has a switch to pick precision landing.
Hi Justin, I have a theory on how to get the drone to land bang on the H in RTH. I don't know if you notice but when you took off the drone moved slightly then said the home oint has been updated. That's point is the same spot where the drone landed so I would suggest moving the drone slightly off the H so when it takes off and moves hopefully over the H it will map that down as the home point. Again it's only a theory.
Happy holidays pal
dope vid brother. 🙏🏽
Hey Dustin Dunnill, caught your videos while researching what camera drone to get. One thing that did come to light is that the camera actually tracked you while performing the dronie manoeuvre which suggests that the active track is just a software omission to make you buy a more expensive drone, what do you think?
Nice video, where are you located? Looks awesome.
Good demostration of quick shots. Someday hopefully DJI will have software updates enabling follow mode.
i think it will kill their sale on mavic air then
@@johnnyjeppesen6992 yeah it's sad but true I think
Hi, I was wondering how you take care of your mavic mini batteries and what you would suggest doing with them for storage even if it's just for a short time like overnight or 2 days I know for 10 days You're supposed to keep the battery at around 40 to 60%.
With RTH I usually hand catch anyway, so if its 1-3ft out its no issue. The main thing is that is come back :-)
To cancel the beeping noise when returning home I would think it'd be the same as the Mavic 2"s, you click the power button on the remote once it starts returning, not the home button. Please let me know if you try it. Thanks, I always watch your videos as they are so well done and informative.
Neither worked. I tried the power button in the range test to 0% video 👍
@@DustinDunnill sorry I guess I didn't catch that. That's strange huh?
as useal always super info , love it...
I'm pretty sure the tracking feature is possible, but has been disabled by DJI to make the drone less capable so it doesn't compete as much with other DJI drones...
hey Dustin, what drone do you think is comparable with the new Skydio 2 in active tracking and following for sports?
I saw a video, to point the camera towards the ground, when landing from RTH. It will automatically level again, just before landing. Seems to pick up the landing pad better.
Really appreciate your videos as they are very informative. Sort of chapter 2 versus other reviews. As we have now concluded, unfortunately the Mavic Mini does not have a “follow me “ mode. Incredible to think such a fantastic drone is short of this feature. That said, I am very curious to see how simple or difficult it would be for you, a person with lots of drone experience, to follow say a jogger, or a cyclist or a skateboarder in action or even a motorcyclist / car with the drone. Is it possible that this Mavic mini is so easy to use that any of the tasks would be simple with excellent results ??? My main attraction to this drone is definitely the quality 3 axis gimbal video, folding compact size, simplicity and all under 249 grams so to avoid any FAA permits. Look forward to your conclusions. Thanks.
Great video brother. I hear that some people had wind fly aways because it's very light in weight. Happy Christmas from ireland. 👏🙌👍✋❤☘☘🎄🎄
It's not weight, it's airspeed.
The weight is an issue in gusty conditions because the lack of inertia means it'll accelerate up to wind speed faster than a heavier drone, giving you less time to react. On the plus side, it'll also decelerate faster when the wind drops, or accelerate faster into the slower air between gusts. In a steady wind it it's just like any other drone, it's just a matter of whether your max speed is faster than the wind and whether you have the juice to get back at a much slower ground speed.
This could all come back to bite me because I'm about to order one. Overall I think it is a slight 'con', but more something to be aware of than an actual 'issue'. I don't imagine a situation where I'd ever HAVE to fly, and I wouldn't choose to fly any size drone in the conditions Dustin tested his in, so hopefully...
This is very informative and shows stage by stage on how to fly the drone , has a novice I do enjoy rhese videos and hope to get mine up flying soon.
Thanks Mark. Glad they help 🍻
Hitting the power button on the mavic 2 does stop the beeping in return to home and another great upload
Merry Christmas Dustin🎄🎄🎄🎄
🎄⛄
Can you compare it with Spark?
Great vids man, just wondering is the landing pad has to be out, or can the return home function simply go off GPS?
Yes it can return close to this accuracy on gps only. Some identifying objects mayhelp the bottom cam to land more accurately 🍻
+1 Dustin great video. I would propose you also check out other apps for controlling the drone that have follow modes
For the mini? Which ones are those friend?
I appreciate your videos. May I ask what you are using for a hat cam
Please see my gear in description under video 👌
That was a great review, it does seem that the tracking may need to be tweaked, hopefully the DJI engineers will take another look at the feature in the future, I was wondering why doesn't the Mini like the other Mavics have rear legs? I assume you have the same 400 feet FAA restrictions there just like on the mainland, how are the local PD about drones in general? Just wondering. I used to live on Maui and I"m trying to figure out what park that is? It looks like somewhere near Kehei maybe closer Kahalui, somewhere in UpCountry? Anyhow it looks like a nice big place to fly and do reviews, wish I still lived there, Now I live 7k miles give or take as the crow flies near the Oregon Coast where it's cold and rainy most of this time of year. so how's the Vog been lately? :)
No legs likely to keep under 250grams. No issues with PD as long as you stay clear of people that may complain. Kula ✌️
can you do the flight review of mavic pro again. kinda back from the past like
Hey Dustin, loving your vids. What mic are you using? Great Audio :)
Thanks. I think I linked my gear in description 🍻
Dustin Dunnill ok, great. Apologies, I should have checked. Thanks again Dustin. Loving your vids. As I always say, hey from Australia. 🇦🇺
Wet informative man, thanks. I have to say I was getting a bit ‘dizzy’ watching this on my iPhone w your 3 views going on one screen fyi
Gorgeous shots of Maui!
So in the end if i want the best DJI drone, which one is the best overall?
Ah Question answered! LOL. Still a great drone and a great review! just bought it! Thanks Again!
I’ve loved your videos for a while and now I’m doing my own drone videos and pictures on instagram
I wud def buy this drone cept I purchased a Mavic Air fly mor combo already. I need the obstacle avoidance cuz I'm still learning the controls.
You definitely need a mini wind sock for your helipad, itll also help with wind direction sensing :P
Do you know of or do you feel like this could be adapted to land on water as in you're mavic pro video?
Well my mind is made up, l will be purchasing the DJI Mavic Mini combo. My wife and l will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary in June 2020 and will be flying to the islands of Cape Verde off the coast of Africa, l enjoy kite flying and hopefully be able to take video of my kite and others from the mavic mini. Also ideal for my future project when l retire in less than a year, is to photograph and record video of my home town and villages where l live here on the Wirral UK and to share on CZcams for every one to see. So thank You for all the videos on the Mavic Mini
Yeh yeh yeh just an excuse to buy yourself a mavic mini 🤣 don't blame you congratulations on your 40th anniversary greetings from South West Gloucestershire, 👍👍😊
Just watchout for those kite strings!
What do you think about the drone so far?
So I just got to Maui and want to fly but it is pretty windy. Do you have any recommendations?
wonder if that lack of active tracking is due to the hardware limitation or they can fix it in the future by updating firmware.
Will you ever do a giveaway for the mavic mini.? Been watching a lot of your videos. They’re awesome man !
Merry Christmas
My brother took his from Hana bay boat launch to the light house and it auto landed in the water. Second flight. Buggah should have known better than take it over the water as a novice. Haha. Aloha my friend. Btw. I’m an arborists and climber if ya ever need a recovery. I stay in Kihei but work in kula mostly.
Bummer! Yah beginners shouldn't do those kinds of flights. Thanks Steven 🤙
Out of power ?
Hi from Croatia. Great video! Looking to buy Mavic mini
Hi Dustin, Happy New year.
Do you prefer mavic mini or zino pro? my purpose is to create some videos when I go vacation and start my CZcams channel. Thanks
I still need to finish the ZINO PRO review 🙂
Tested mine at 8000 feet MSL, 5-15 mph winds, and two broken propeller tips. Held hover, and maneuvered well. Pretty cool 'toy'
When you gunna do the holy stone 720?
Seems to me it just locks the GPS position in when starting a quickshot and then performs the maneuver around that point.
This is in my opinion the best drone i have owned , best value for money hands down . Super strong wind will cause some headaches in crowded spots but if you are in the wide open just flip to sport mode , drop altitude or increase and get home .
How do you install updates. I just purchased one
Can you please do a video on antenna range extenders?
Hey can you do another Range test?😃😃😃
I'm doing 1 more, probably 2 more. Awesome!
Is there a benefit of the landing disc other than keeping it off the ground? Do the bottom sensors key into that area for landing?
Not really on this one ... Yet 🙂
Ordered one online with best buy 2 day shipping, should be here tomorrow 👍👍👍
I never used the landing pad when returning to home. My 720 is pretty accurate with the landing pad though.
The tracking rule is that providing you stay within visual sensor range it will try to follow you with it's eyes but not it's body.
I.E. the flight path is fixed no matter where you go.
Correct. I think we've seen just that in this test 👍
I'm new to DJi drones as of yesterday. Im a freestyle/race pilot mostly. So I have to ask, can this drones software be updated? Surely there can be more quickshot presets added through those updates and also a proper follow mode, if it already has some type of basic object tracking.
Yes it can, but it's up to what DJI wants to open up.
Dustin, it doesn't matter that people are telling you (15:09) that tapping the RTH will stop the beeping but keep coming home because those people apparently haven't read the Mavic Mini User Manual which states on p. 13, "The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller."
love your videos dude. i hva the mavic mini and am struggling to upload my 2.7k footage to youtube or instagram. I dont have premiere pro. any advice? how do you do it? keep up the good work
tom bishop Mrry Christmas! If you have iOS you could download an app called Videoleap and you can compress your video from a range of 360p to 4K. Happy holidays
Hello? How about on android?
Do you think theyre ever gonna add active track?
4:35 Is this the dron quality camera or is rendered video?
Hey
My dad and I were using this drone today and we couldn’t get the quick shot function to work... we have an SD card in it, but the drone doesn’t lock on to our position... any thoughts?
I really hope they add waypoints functionality
The real question here is that will Litchi be able to track & follow with the new SDK released for air mini and air 2 in July 20?
i cant decide between base model or the combo with extra batteries etc? help
Really hope they watch this and fix any bugs or just make shure it works good!!! Because i have realized that the Mavic Air went up in price and is like 9 hundred something and i could never afford that!!! But this around 400$ i can at least think about getting it!!! But i would be broke if i did LOL!!
Thanks for all the great testing!!!!
Great channel!!!!!!
👍😀👍
Did you get a drone?
Been watching these vids for years but have never bit the bullet (other than toy ones).
I would be sick if I crashed/lost a $900 drone.
Been looking at the Bebop 2 power. It has 27 minute flight time and FPV-tech is a few years old but their selling for 200-300 on Ebay.
