      I have the Mavic Mini and my Mini 2 Fly More Combo with 1 year DJI Care Refresh package is chilling under the Christmas tree until Christmas this year!
      Even though I have the Mavic Mini as soon as I saw the Mini 2 is out, I actually chose to get the Mini 2 instead of the Mavic Air 2 Fly More Combo! I had the money saved up for the Air 2, but chose the Mini 2 over it! I'm just a huge fan of the Mini models.. And now that DJI made this Mini 2 I'm pretty sure no other company will be able to compete with the Mini 2!
      Sweet
      Keep well and be safe bro!

      Do it. I got the Mavic air as my first, it's a great drone and I was saving for an Air 2 then the mini 2 came out and I couldn't justify the extra money because the mini looked so good..... I wasn't wrong, considering selling my Mavic Air because I just don't think it will get used

    To add to the comment, what a remarkable drone shot you created as you moved up into the observation deck of the building. Truly cinematic. This is what these drones can do for us as cinematographers---they create utterly remarkable video images that can add so much to a documentary or any sort of video story.

    I'm a new Mini 2 pilot and have been very cautious, probably overly so on letting her fly more than a stones throw.
    I appreciate your comments on its reliability of signal and now since watching this feel like I can let the Mini 2 reins a bit looser and confidently fly more distant.
    I also wondered about low light flying and you have answered that question as well. I appreciate all your video's and your jovial approach. Kudo's

    That's the best Memphis has EVER looked. I got the Mini 2 about a week ago. Absolutely blown away by it. Got the Fly More combo, worth every single cent. Got my ND Filters, tablet holder, lights and landing gear too. Absolutely stunning wjat these will do. I live in S. Florida and have flown it at Haulover inlet and Hillsboro Inlet with at least 20-30 mph winds and it doesn't budge the video AT ALL. Smooth as ice. The drone barely moves a half an inch in those winds. And they can get really gusty as well. The video was PERFECT IN the wind. The Mini 2 is absolutely incredible.
    Your video looks fantastic.

    wow!!! you are about as stupid as I am (in a good way) I was really wanting you to get closer to the bass pro shop, and you DID! mph, color me impressed..
    I am looking to buy a drone for a different angle on photography and your video has pretty much convinced me that it is definitely worth the money, time and effort.
    You took great risks flying to the Bass Pro Shop, and then over water to the bridge. BUT the footage you got was AWESOME. oh, we could be brothers.
    Thank you for that video and Thank you for making your video in such a beautiful place. I've never been there before, but now I would like to go there. sub-scribe !

    I think it's important to state that if you modify your drone (ie. strobe light) it surpasses the >250 gram limit rule under 14 CFR 107 and must be registered with the FAA if flown in the US. Not a big deal for most folks, but the FAA is cracking down on drone channels on UA-cam because you are posting videos that provide them with the evidence.

    How much if that could I do to this drone to increase efficiency?

    Hi Ken, I've watched this and the Atlanta night flight. Incredible videos, thank you. I'M brand new to this quadcopter thing, so I've been reading and YouTubing quite a bit. You talked about adding the strobe for night flying, but not positional (red and green) lights. Is there a requirment for the red and green lights also, or does the Mini 2 come with sufficient lighting? I'm hoping to see one under the tree this year. Thanks again. --The Newbie.

    I'm sorry, folks. Maybe I'm in denial or something, but I can't see the massive improvement you talk about.
    I have a mini1 for a long time now and I know it has some nightlight limitations, but I saw the same in the mini2... I remind you that the sensor is the same, the aperture as well, only difference is (supposedly) in the processor that handles better the 4k resolution... so... how can it be better unless it is a software tweak? You can improve the video too with a post processing... and it'll get much better than what you got with the mini2.
    Ok, the ocusync is better for heavy wifi environments, but with some yagis you can overcome that as well, so...
    I'm sorry, I'm just not that convinced so far...
    Liked your video comparisons though. Am sorry that you let the mini1 go (no further tests...), but I totally understand there is no point in keeping them both.
    Take care.
