DJI Mini 4K Camera Drone Combo, Drone with 4K UHD Camera for Adults, Under 249 g, 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilization, 10km Video Transmission, Auto Return, 2 Batteries for 62-Min Max Flight Time, QuickShots

Great for the price! It certainly beats having to jump up $800-$1,000 in price for the next step up. I bought some extra batteries on eBay. I wish the damn remote control was compatible with the upgraded remote control. The remote control is comes with has an insanely TERRIBLE BATTERY LIFE, so make sure you have a power bank that charges at a high wattage quickly, or you're going to not have much time to fly with it.Unfortunately only works with the phone app, which isn't that great. It can lose signal if it goes too far, so having the option to upgrade to the better controller would be MUCH APPRECIATED!!!! Video quality is good, not great for shooting at night, and no detection for objects around it. The return home feature is pretty accurate, but can be slightly off. Aside from that, it's easy to fly. I like that you can adjust the flight control sticks performance, and it's pretty damn fast! It would be smart of DJI to use controller sticks to improve the flight sticks to be smoother to maneuver, because it kind of just goes full tilt unless you place it down on a surface.Overall, good introduction drone that shoots good footage. NO AUDIO, which I know you could barely hear anything when it's running, but some sort of microphone would be cool.

This is a fantastic drone. I’m a newbie and found this drone to be easy to set up and fly. It does not have collision avoidance like some of the more expensive drones, but for me and my uses it’s perfect. I got the model that came with the case and extra battery. They are worth the extra dollars and I probably should have bought the fly more pack which adds the charger and another battery. Overall I’m very happy with the quality of the drone, the ease of flight, the quality of the camera, and the smoothness of the gimbal.

Great little starter drone and surprisingly rugged. Accidentally flew into an antenna guy wire - dropped 10 feet onto grass. Off it went again. Accidentally smacked into a trash can head-on - fell 3 feet onto concrete. A quick check and right back into the air. No, I am not practicing for a drone demolition derby - just describing my first 20 minutes of flight. Now, I am confident enough to fly it inside, through doorways, and land right where I want when I want. Highly recommended. Great imaging, easy to fly, good value for money, especially with the Fly More Combo!

For a entry level drone, it's a great start. It's easy to start flying. It's light and small, great for on the go or travel like me. It feels a bit fragile but I'm not surprised given it more accessible price range. The drone flies quick when in Sport Mode around 35 MPH. There's a good amount bells and whistles with this drone.The battery is a bit a nuisance, it drains quickly in situations where you actually flying it around. However there's a timer that gives you an idea how much time have left before you got to land it.

I’ve tested several drones over the years, but this one absolutely stands out. From unboxing to first flight, everything felt high-quality and thoughtfully designed. The setup was quick, the controls were intuitive, and the GPS lock was fast and reliable.What really sets it apart is the camera quality — the footage is incredibly sharp, smooth, and cinematic. The stabilization system works like magic, even in windy conditions. I captured aerial shots that look like they came straight out of a professional film.Battery life was surprisingly good — I got about 25–30 minutes of flight time per charge. The return-to-home feature is also super accurate and gives peace of mind when flying over long distances.Whether you’re a hobbyist, content creator, or just love epic aerial views, this drone delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend it if you want pro-level video without breaking the bank.

First, let's cover the hardware.DJI has clearly put a lot of thought and engineering into making a compact, flyable drone that's easily transportable. Fit and finish on the various components is excellent, and the fact that the drone folds into a compact package for transport makes taking it along with you a snap. No complaints at all in those areas. The fly more combo is a "must have" in my opinion, as it'll help you keep flying rather than spending too much of your time waiting for batteries to charge, or having to order extra propeller blades in the event of a minor crash.The software, however, is another story.Does it work well? Yes. It's really a pleasure for the flying aspects. It's dead easy for a beginner (that was both the wife and I) to successfully take off, fly the drone successfully, and land. I had bought it for her as a gift, and we're both new to drone flying, so that was a real plus, and quite frankly, the place where the software was most useful.What is not very useful is the lack of documentation that came with the drone regarding that software. There's little in the way of additional information that proved immediately useful. Many terms aren't clearly defined, as regards how they are used in the software, and it took a considerable amount of extra Internet research to figure out what was meant. In addition, the Android version of the software appears to have been adapted from what was originally developed for use on Apple's IOS devices like iPhones and iPads. On Android, using a Pixel 4 as the controller display, the single most annoying aspect was lack of a clearly indicated means of leaving the app. Add to that the fact that it's unclear just what certain software controls are meant to do, at all, and frustration levels quickly mount.Especially difficult was attempting to determine just where photos and videos are being stored. Are they stored on the internal memory or the micro SD card? Can't really tell. How does one move information from one to the other? How do you get the drone to download to a PC via the USB cable? And worse, considering the entire purpose of the software beyond flying is to be able to retrieve footage you've recorded in flight, how do you successfully get all your photos and videos onto the SD card in order to be able to just copy it from the micro SD to a computer of some sort? That particular adventure took another couple of hours of Internet search, watching instructional videos, and trial-and-horror. And no, that's NOT a misspelling of "error".So...What should one expect?First, plan on spending a lot of time figuring out software for virtually every aspect of use with the exception of actually flying the drone. I'd recommend you do a lot of reading about it on the Internet (and watching videos to see what it looks like in practice).Second, DJI should seriously evaluate their UI. Far too much has been crammed into a single app. And far too little is provided in terms of documentation of the steps to accomplish many of the non-flying functions.Third, DJI should recognize that not all users are familiar with (or even like) the IOS sort of approach to software design.Fourth, the software should make retrieving one's photos and video footage the absolute clearest and easiest beyond that portion of the app used in flying. I think it would benefit all users if the portion of the app that handles files and file transfers was made separate from that used in configuring or flying the aircraft.Fifth, why not make ALL the data the drone is collecting easily available for use by the purchaser? I have seen reference to flight data, for example, being recorded by the aircraft, but have not found a ready means of downloading it. It would be nice to be able to analyze that data using commonly available software tools to see just how well, for example, what one thought one flew matches with what the flight actually was.While we've got lots of criticism of the app (just in case you hadn't noticed already), neither of us are displeased with the purchase. The Mavic Mini 2 flies easily and well, and it really is fun to use. And, once one gets over the completely unnecessary software hurdles, it's not all that difficult to remember what to do the next time one is attempting to retrieve those files. If you're interested in getting into drone flying, I'd recommend having a look at this one. It's not terribly expensive, and you'll quickly be up and flying.
