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

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.

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.

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, 😎

@@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?
@MartinWillett 3 жыл бұрын
@@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.

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.

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 sold my Mini 1 on eBay when the Mini 2 came out. I live in an area that has interference and my Mini 1 and I couldn’t get more than 3 blocks away before losing connection and the drone would auto return. Occusync 2 was the tipping point for me.

In the Netherlands we don't have the TS version of the mavic mini 1 but the european version so the range is in an open field 2 km max with the CE version and with wifi interference spaces you might be glad if you reach 400 meters then ocusync is a huge deal in Europe

Captain Drone great video, as always. I heard that Xiaomi is planning on releasing a quadcopter in the category. There is still nothing like these 2 top notch mini quads today, 6 months after the DJI Mini 2 launch. For those who want a hobby grade quadcopter, there are so few options under 250 grams. For photography grade quality, only DJI has an offering here. Parrot, Yuneec, and others seem to be focused on their own niches. For those who are looking for a DJI alternative, the options are VERY few. Here are the minimum things I specifications was considering: -Under 250g -Brushless motors -SD card slot -Minimum 1080p camera -20+ minute flight time -GPS, RTH, stable flight You can find all kind of toys out there, and you can find plenty mini drones with brushed motors and no SD card slot under 250 grams (.55 lbs or 8.8 oz). If it isn't DJI, this category will basically put you in "budget drone" territory. So if you want a mini drone that is not made by DJI which meets these requirements, you have even fewer options. The best hobby grade options that meet these requirements are as follows: 1. DJI Mini 2: foldable, best in class 30-31 minute flight time, best in class 4K camera, best in class radio link technology. about $450-590 USD 2. DJI Mavic Mini: foldable, 30 minute flight time, 2.7K camera, for about $400 USD. 3. JJRC X9PS: not foldable, 21 minute flight time, 2 axis gimbal stabilization, DJI Spark-like design with folding props. 25 FPS max?? All for about $225 USD if you opt for 2 batteries. **4. Syma/Cheerwing W1 Pro (about $150 USD for 2 batteries, decent images, no gimbal) [Honorable mention] ** only has 15-18 minute flight time, and no gimbal or image stabilization Captain drone has a great review on the JJRC X9PS as well, but I have not found anything else that comes close!

Literally just got the first mini 3 days ago it's my first drone totally happy! I was able to get the fly more combo as well what a awesome experience. Would love the mini 2 just for the occu sync 2.0 but I'm still super happy!
@glenesis 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Steve! Glad you're good. The Mini 2 was announced the day after I bought the Mini 1 Fly More Combo 😁 It's a great drone, but I may exchange it just to get that controller that comes with the Mini 2. I didn't know about that LED headlight! The more I learn about the Mini 2, the better it looks. This is the best side-by-side comparison on KZfaq. Thanks always for what you do! Best wishes, always, from Rochester, New York :) Cheers!

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!
