DJI Mavic Mini, the drone to go
31.10.2019
Translation: Eva Francis
At less than 250 grams, this mini drone weighs as much as a smartphone. Yet, it's more than just a toy.
Folded up, the DJI Mavic Mini measures 140×82×57 mm. It weighs 249 grams – including the battery and ready to take off. This makes it exceptionally portable for a drone that’s more than just a toy.
Camera
Of course the Mavic Mini has a camera. It takes photos at 12 megapixels and videos at 2.7K - 2720 x 1530 pixels, which is between Full HD and 4K. The aperture of the lens is f/2.8 and the close-up limit is one metre. The built-in gimbal stabilises the camera on three axes. To take photos and videos, you need an SD card – the Mavic Mini has no built-in memory.
No obstacle-detecting sensors
Mavic Mini comes with a remote control that works together with a smartphone and the corresponding DJI Fly App. It displays a live video on your screen, whereby the range of HD videos (720p) is two kilometres.
The app offers tutorials, triggers a few simple manoeuvres and can return home on its own. With optimal conditions (no wind), the Mavic Mini reaches a flight time of 30 minutes – according to DJI.
Unlike the large Mavic Pro, the Mini drone has no side sensors and therefore can't detect obstacles. It does, however, have a removable propeller guard.
The DJI Mavic Mini is expected to be available from 11 November. You can now pre-order this drone or win one: we're giving away a DJI Mavic Mini. Just click on the participate button below.
