QUICKSHOT MAVIC MINI UPGRADE
I wouldn’t likely say this is a drone that existing Mini users would rush out to upgrade to, rather, it’s designed to further entice non-drone owners into the fold.Īs with last year, I’ve been digging into all the nuances of the new unit – testing out what works, and what doesn’t. And atop that, another dozen or two more minor features I outline down in the next section. However, getting a drone to that weight comes with trade-offs, most notably ditching things like obstacle avoidance sensors.Īnyway, the new Mini upgrades the video resolution from 2.7K to 4K, adds in RAW photo support, a new QuickShot mode that I use for autonomous shots while cycling or running, plus a much better wireless transmission system. The Mini series has theoretically been the most appealing from a size standpoint – at a mere 249g, the magic number under 250g to avoid various legal restrictions in a number of countries. As I have been for years, I’m always on the lookout for the right drone to get the perfect shot while out doing riding, running, or even swimming. Except, instead of calling it the Mavic Mini 2, it’s now shortened to just the Mini 2 – in line with other terminology changes DJI has been making in recent products. A year after the first edition, the new DJI Mavic Mini is out.
