Both palm size are surprisingly tough against windy sea side! But which one you'd pick?

7:28 that's a stupid decision not to have the sd card slot under that door. I've accidentally crashed my spark under the water 1.5 meters deep and it was there for about 1 minute. It was absolutely fine after I got it back and drying with a hairdryer... battery was OK, everything... I was shocked. I don't think the mini would survive this with such design.

I use DJI Spark and I can connect the remote to my phone (Android) using cable. There's one time when DJI release new firmware, it spoils the connection and you can't see the flight information on the app when using cable, but similar issue didn't happen if we connected using wifi. But then, DJI release the latest firmware update and including controller firmware to resolve this issue.

@familyman8644 4 жыл бұрын

Does it fly further now with the cable? Essentially they are the same radio. Im having trouble deciding on spark and mavic mini because my friend is selling spark hardly used with extra battery for 200. I know the mini has more range and flight time but a spark for 200 though

@feedsbrain 4 жыл бұрын

@@familyman8644 I think the valid reason for why we're using cable is not for extending the range but to have stable connection from controller to your phone. Although it may also impacts the range because now the radio is only use to connect to the drone instead of both to the drone and the controller.

I owned the Mavic Air before and now the Mavic Mini. One biggest selling point for me is the Battery. Not having to fear that the battery might Bloat if stored for too long or used too much. Since the Mavic Mini is just 2x 18650 battery, I'm confident that it will last longer. I'm averaging at 27mins of flight per battery and i have 3 packs! I never owned a Spark but my friends do, their average flight time is about 13ish mins. That's like twice the flight time. Lastly, the cost of battery replacement is cheaper.

@ftgm090_finsuth_ 4 жыл бұрын

Family Man You will be losing functionality of the follow me mode or as know as Active Track. This feature makes the drone follow you without having to control it. This feature could come in a future update but let’s hope for now. You will be also losing functionality of obstacle avoidance meaning if you are very close to a wall, you will be shipping it back for replacement which will make you bored and upset. I don’t know why they removed that feature but to make up for it you can order the drone along with the fly more combo which comes with propeller guards preventing damage. I would say the mavic mini is my go to choice because the Active track and obsticale advoidance is mostly forgotten by most drone flyers with drones that have those features. You can buy other drones if you want but if you are not eager in those two missed features I would recommend to buy the mavic mini.

Does the mini have tripad mode?

@TheLokCheung 4 жыл бұрын

It has a "CineSmooth" mode, which by the official definition sounds very similar to tripod mode indeed (they limit max speed and ascend/descend speed), but different to cinematic mode (slow acceleration/deceleration, slow rotation speed, longer braking distance). Tripod mode and CineSmooth mode are flight modes besides P and S modes (some basic flight modes), while cinematic mode is an intelligent mode (like an extra function on top of flight modes).

@GuyVinmara 4 жыл бұрын

Spark flight time is too short for active tracking to be useful. I'd rather have longer flight time and 2.7K for a "toy drone". If active tracking is that important, better to invest in the Skydio drone, which specializes in that function.

Not a really fair comparison. I have the spark and I have taken it to about 2km far with smooth video transmission, you don't have to connect your phone to the sparks remote, you can use an otg cable and it'll provide smooth fpv transmission. You barely showed any footage of the spark and you blew everything up on the Mavic mini. And it doesn't really matter about 2 Axis or 3 Axis. You jittered because of weak image transmission signal and sometimes it gives lag to the transmission from the remote to the drone which causes the jitter, use the otg cable and give it a shot. I personally have a Mavic mini but I still prefer the spark over it because of all of the features the mini doesn't have, which I thank you for pointing that out. All of this are just my personal opinion and besides, still a great video after all.

Does Mavic mini comes back when the battery is gone or there's a button to come back?

@TheLokCheung 4 жыл бұрын

Like other DJI drones, it gives you several stages of warning (it would also consider the distance and altitude to decide if it can come back safely). First is just a low battery warning, second warning trigger auto return home (but allow manual cancel), at last he battery in a critical low state when the drone will start descending because the batter is so low it could shut down any second, so it force you to do a control landing rather than drop out from the sky (you can still control it, you can keep it level, but can’t climb anymore) There’s a button you can push on the remote at any time that call it to come back automatically. As mentioned above it will also trigger auto go home at the second batter low warning. So yes it can come back before battery run out, unless you intentionally stretch it, or the battery is so old which te battery level is not correct anymore. But also keep in mind there’s a dangerous when it go home automatically, Mavic Mini fly a straight line to the home point and it won’t avoid obstacles in the way (like a tree). That’s what I’ve mentioned in the video that even the Spark can avoid obstacles.
