General info
is weather-sealed (splashproof)
✖DJI Mavic Mini
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
is dustproof and water-resistant
✖DJI Mavic Mini
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
volume
1555.4 cm³
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
weight
249 g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
The minimum temperature at which the device can perform to the optimal level.
The maximum temperature at which the device can perform to the optimal level.
height
202 mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
thickness
55 mm
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
width
140 mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
Performance
Maximum flight time
30 min
The maximum duration of an uninterrupted flight. The average flight time for a consumer drone is between 10 and 25 minutes.
The longest distance the drone can fly from its controller.
Maximum flight speed
13 m/s
The maximum speed the drone can reach. Commercial drones are limited by law to 44.7 meters per second (100 miles per hour).
Obstacle detection
✖DJI Mavic Mini
Drones with obstacle detection use various sensors to detect objects in front of them in order to avoid collisions. Newer models have obstacle detection sensors on all sides.
Intelligent flight modes
✔DJI Mavic Mini
Intelligent flight modes allow you to set specific parameters for flights, such as specifying a flight path that the drone will follow or setting the drone to follow a moving object.
Return to Home (RTH)
✔DJI Mavic Mini
The Return to Home (RTH) is an automated flight function that enables the drone to come back by itself to the place it took off from.
Cameras
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO
3200 ISO
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
shoots raw
✖DJI Mavic Mini
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
movie bitrate
40 Mbps
The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
video recording (main camera)
1530 x 30 fps
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
Field of view (FOV) is the part of the world that a device can view and record. A wider field of view allows you to capture more of the action.
has a built-in HDR mode
✔DJI Mavic Mini
It can automatically shoot pictures with a higher dynamic range (HDR).
has a serial shot mode
✔DJI Mavic Mini
The burst mode, also called serial shot mode or continuous shooting mode, allows you to shoot multiple photos in a row.
has a CMOS sensor
✔DJI Mavic Mini
CMOS image sensors are slowly replacing CCD sensors, due to reduced power consumption and better image quality. They can be very compact and cost relatively little to produce.
Battery
battery power
2600 mAh
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
charge time
1.5 hours
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
has a removable battery
✔DJI Mavic Mini
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
Features
has an external memory slot
✔DJI Mavic Mini
The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.
has GPS
✔DJI Mavic Mini
GPS enables global positioning, useful in map, geo-tagging or navigation apps.
has a gyroscope
✔DJI Mavic Mini
A gyroscope is a sensor that tracks the orientation of a device, more specifically by measuring the angular rotational velocity. Initially, they were built using a spinning rotor to detect changes in orientation, like twisting or rotation.
internal storage
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
supports a remote smartphone
✔DJI Mavic Mini
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
has a compass
✔DJI Mavic Mini
A compass is useful for gaming, maps, and navigation software.
has an accelerometer
✔DJI Mavic Mini
An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.
The maximum amount of external storage memory supported by the the device.
has a remote control
✔DJI Mavic Mini
A remote control allows you to control the device remotely. The remote control can be included or optional.

The Mavic mini is my first drone, in fact my first anything with a hand held control, I am 63. I found it so easy to fly and take videos. If you have never flown a drown go out and get a good used Mavic Mini then upgrade later. Also the fact you don’t need a license to fly it as it is only 249 grams.
