Thanks for the comparisons! 🙏🏻
No problem!
Great job bro! Keep up the good work blessings 🙏🙏🙏
Pretty much the best comparison on UA-cam; I like facts not opinions. Great stuff!
Glad to hear that! I haven't watched many other vids but I figured this is all the info I would want to know if I didn't have access to either. Thanks man! 😊
Awesome review. Thank you!
Hope it helped!!
Really helped me! Thanks
Glad it helped!
Great Review and you really reinforced my love for the MM. I'm all over the subscribe button. Thanks again.
No problem! I love the mavic mini. Gives me hope for the future of light weight drones! Thanks for the sub!!
thanks a really great comparison!
Glad you liked it!!!
Ty !!! U made me choose the right one ! Mavic mini for me.. MotoVloger so i need it to be small portable in my backpack.
Oh yeah the Mini will be perfect for you. I really hope one day they put a Mavic Air type camera on it
So i am thinking of buying one of these 2 and os the los of active track major because i am a mountain biker and i want to take some videos
nice straight to the point. i like it.
Thanks bro 🙏
Nice video Froggy, really liked the MA videos and really wanted one for my 1st drone but then the MM came out and with price , signal and battery being better I just had to get the MM. Got it on Jan. 2 😁Great video 👍
NICE MAN! Trust me if I didn't have my Air I would totally go for the MINI. Congrats on your first drone! 😊
Pretty awesome. Nice review. ✌️
Thanks homie ✌️
hello i was confused which drone i have to buy but thanks to you , you conviced me by your video which drone is suitable for me more , thankx again & good luck very usefull video
Great review 👍🏿
Thanks! 🙌
Your UA-cam Channel is so good
Ayyyy thank you!!! Really appreciate is 😊
Great Video!!!✌
Thanks!!
Thanks bro.
good job brother
Thanks brotha!
Good video. Thanks for comparison. I don't see why many people wants to avoid registration of drone and go for Mavic Mini? Whats wrong with registration?
Thanks! I think that main thing is that you're "legally" allowed to fly in more places with the Mini as opposed to any other drone even if they are registered because of that 249g weight. It just classifies it more as a toy than anything else
Love my mavic mini. :)
It's amazing!
The Mavic air can and is put into FCC mode and that makes it superb to fly , all those who have Mavic air should try it .
mr Red : And what is FCC mode ?
Matthew Sequoyah i think it was about limits. Please google for better info
@@matthewsequoyah2665 federal Communications Commission which means basically your Signal is stronger than that in the EU and other countries .
I might get an air as the 4k footage is better than the 2.7 on the mini - liked video 👍
Footage is definitely better on the Air! Thanks for the like!
@@FrogyProd but they both have the exact same size sensor no? isn't this just a case of "pixel pushing". I.e. no real extra information in terms of detail (but maybe so in terms of bit depth?).
Is there a setting to reduce the digital sharpening in camera on the mini?
I don't think they added that yet, but a firmware update was apparently just released which might give you more control over the image.
Great video 😃👍 . Does the Mini have geofencing, flight restrictions and all that crap ?
It has the same restrictions as all the other drones I think. Actually maybe a little less because it is a smaller drone, but tbh I don't know, the Mini is my friends drone
Thanks for the review! I personally belive that the Mavic Air isn't a good buy at the moment because it's 2 years old and a replacement is bound to happen soon, and the Mavic Mini is just too small for me. Both are great drones if you want to get into flying, the mavic mini being an entry level drone and the mavic air being a consumer level drone.
You def got a point about the Mavic Air being due for an update, but I'm curious why you would say the Mavic Mini is too small for you? Isn't smaller better, especially when it comes to a drone?
@@FrogyProd Sure, but I live in a very windy area, and from what I've seen the drone probably couldn't handle the high winds of where I live. As much as I agree that smaller can be better when it comes to drones, I really want a nice upgrade from my spark since i've had it 2 years, and I feel the mini is more for novices and kids 10-14 than for people who want to capture scenery at its finest.
@@dronesparky501 Ah that makes sense. Maybe even a Mavic 2 would be the better option for you. More pricey but I think it's super powerful in windy situations
Mavic air does produce better cinematic color footage due 100mb/s vs 40 Mb/s.
💯
It's not just the bitrate. the colours of the air really looks more cinematic and is less digitally sharpened than the mini
nice!
Nice video
Thank you!
I am a begginner I can get the mini for basically 400 or i can get the air fly more combo on sale for 700. Suggestions?...want to use for casual film. Also I am only considering the air cuz the deal but not sure if its worth it or if i need it
There will be a potential Mavic Air 2 announced this week, it's why they're all going on sale now. Wait on hat till we find out what this announcement will be
@@FrogyProd ohhhh ok thank you
I live in turkey and there is no need to register under 500g so I think MA is better.Did you tried fcc mode with MA tho
Yeah good call. I've flown my Mavic Air in Poland where there is also no need to register it but I wasn't getting as much distance as I get here in North America. I was able to push the drone 3.5km here but in Europe I was getting about 1.5km at best
FrogyProd I dont really know is there a problem with me but I couldnt send it over 500 meters and did you had fcc or europe standarts in poland?,I dont think there is a difference when youre using fcc in europe vs in america.
Hi! which should be my next upgrade from Mavic mini ? Parrot anafi or Mavic air ? Both with fly more combo cost same where i live. 800eur. ps.good video mate! -Tatu
If you already have the Mini I wouldn't "upgrade" to anything. I think it's the best drone at the moment. Only Upgrade to a Mavic Air if you really need the better camera quality. Personally I don't have any interest in the Parrot drones so I don't know much about them
Tatu Soikkeli : Upgrade to a Mavic 2 Zoom
So judging by many comparisons between them, the Mini has better footage as an instant outcome. Since the Mini has instant real footage it is better. Also in Air you just adjust it so it can look sharp and more real too instant in the app. And if someone wants any effect over the video from the Mini, well that is done in post-production.
yeah the Mini was designed to have great footage straight out of the camera, but the Air needs adjustments in post if you shoot in D-Cinelike (which i always do) However I feel if you were to use the Standard profile on the Mavic Air, it may look better than the Mini Footage without any adjusting
Mavic Mini wins to be honest in almost all the footage. The exposure slightly lower will pull back the colour in the sky etc, you had it a little too high with the whites way too blown out compared to the Air footage.
I am in the market for a new drone. What would you recommend between a mavic mini fly more combo 500eur or a second hand Mavic air fly more combo for 630 eur. Its great battery vs great features. Mavic mini has just a battery advantage (you can charge it via usb) but the air has so many features: active track, fly just with phone, extra quick shots, tap to fly... etc. THX
With the price being that close, I think I'd go for the mavic Air. the Air is still about 2x more expensive where I am so you're getting a good deal there. If anything you can sell the Air for the Mini later
I found a mavic air fly more in like new condition for $500... Would you go for a like new Mavic air or a $500 sealed mavic mini?
That's a really good price for a Mavic Air. All depends on if you want that better camera or less hassle of where you're allowed to fly it. In this case if they are the same price for you I might rather go for the Air and see how you like it and sell it for a Mini after if anything
FrogyProd awesome thanks for your honesty. I like how compact there new drones are. I’ve owned a mavic pro and I think maybe the air will be something in between. I’m already used to the better footage
Since you had a Mavic Pro before, I will warn you that the mavic air signal is really bad compared to the pro (because of occusync vs wifi). You’ll experience lag which might bother you. Since the Air was my first drone I just thought it was normal, but when I tried a friends mavic pro I was blown away how perfect the video signal was with zero lag. Just something to keep in mind
Hi, great video. I am a realtor and I am considering buying a drone not for showing houses, but mostly to show communities around my area. Would the mini be good enough in terms of quality or should I go with the Mavic Air please
At this point, go for the Mini. The signal is way better on it than the Air, and the 249grams means you should be able to fly it everywhere legally. The image quality will be good enough for what you're doing
@@FrogyProd way better signal? I thought that they both used dji's advanced wifi for 4km of max range?
I love mavic air because I love 2 make movies,albums with this and this drone is really amazing......
Anirban Das yeah the quality of the air is really nice 👍
They are flying cameras, 1st. Drones 2nd. The mini is fun to fly, flies longer.
The Air takes better photos, almost 10min less flight time, but has more crash avoiding sensors.
Are you buying a drone to fly, or to take photos & videos?
I only get drones for shooting video and taking pictures. If you're more into the actual "flying" of a drone consider getting an FPV drone.
First Time Drone Owner:
I your opinion, If the Mavic Air combo and the Mavic Mini Combo had a $200 US price difference. Which Drone would you buy?
Which one is $200 cheaper? I think at this point I would go for the Mini or the new Mavic Air 2. The original Mavic Air 1 just has such terrible signal transmission, it makes it not so fun to fly in certain areas (Super glitchy and laggy)
@@FrogyProd The mini combo is $400 and the Air Combo $600.
Mini is less.
Thank you I will probably go with the Mini since it is less and the Air 2 is too expensive at this time.
Nice review. Is there any good way to get the footage of the Mini to look like the Air? The video quality of the Mini does look too sharp and unnatural. I love the look of the Air but wish the Mini had it. Dilemma is I don’t want to spend double for the dated Mavic Air when surely a Mavic Air 2 might come out this year, yet I need a drone now. I’d go with the Mini but the video quality looks too hobby and amateur whereas the Air looks cinematic. If the Mini footage quality could get closer to the Air, I’d get it.
Ah man unfortunately you have zero control over the Mavic Mini image. Can't adjust contrast/sharpness or and log profiles. It just has that standard profile on it. It's rrally up to you what type of image quality you'll need so soon. I also think there will be a Mavic Air 2 sometime this year, but who knows when
Dude, you did your homework. A lot of facts ,great comparison and I agree with you Mavic mini is the way to go. The only real consequential difference I felt is the collision avoidance feature not being featured on the Mavic mini Just don't suck at flying.!good job froggy. By the way ,Great nickname.
Thanks man!!! Glad you appreciated the video 😊
The Mavic Mini wins as DJI killed the Mavic Air it's done out of production...the Mavic Mini love it
Mavic mini here in Japan is a bit lighter 😅
It's lighter? How so?
Its 199g here. 200g or more drones needs to be registered. If you wont youll be fined $5000.
And we also have stricter drone rules. 😢
The Mini can't capture RAW images, which is a deal breaker for anyone serious about still photography. Also, I've not flown an Air, but the Mini really has a hard time when the wind picks up. I'm considering returning the Mini and getting an Air instead.
The Air can def handle winds better than the Mini (thanks to it's bigger size and weight) but at this point I would look into the Air 2. In my opinion no one should be going for the Air 1 at this point.. the signal is really really crap on it. With the Air 2 you will get Occusync 2 which is WAY better than the Wifi signal on the Air 1 and you'll get a way higher quality camera. If it's between the Mini and Air 1, stick to the Mini. You will be frustrated with the bad signal on the Air 1, even though it can handle winds better and the camera is better.
@@FrogyProd I think I'm gonna wait until some used Air 2 ones come to the market. I'm having fun with the Mini, it's my first drone. instagram.com/p/B___5YwgJuf/
Why does mini look better
It just looks sharper
The more expensive one is better
The camera is definitely better, but other than that they essentially do the same thing
Frogy plx. Give me mavic mini free. I have not mony$ . I am from pakistan🙌
I don’t have a mini man I just have my Air
