- The Quickshots mode on the Mavic Mini is an easy way to get cinematic drone shots. I discovered one of them has a hack that suggests a cool feature will be added in a future firmware update!

4:05 is where it gets interesting... the rest is just standard introduction to the QS modes
or because he move away from powerlines?
Me: Click on one Mavic Mini video
UA-cam algorithm: So you are a drone enthusiast
Same
I think this for anything, watch one random video and immediately think “great, now I’m gonna get spammed with these videos”
They intentionally excluded Active Track to prevent cannibalising their more expensive products.
Ur right
The spark has this follow mode feature and they are the same price
They did this cause they don't have competition and only themselves. So it could sell their old products first.
Or maybe because it doesn't have collision sensors, so they don't want to risk it crashing into things when active tracking. All other drones have the collision sensors
@@wearbabe agree, I think they were focused on the weight and it was on top priority. At it's price point, its an awesome drone. Less features but still a great drone, specially with the flight time.
I found a way to get around the lock geo zone. My house is located in a geo zone. Power everything but the drone first. Then power up the drone. The second the image comes on your device, start the motors with the joystick and launch right away. This should bypass the geo zone lock. The second you land, it will get locked.
Wow! I'm glad that you experimented and found this out. My little Mavic Mini continues to surprise me. The more I use it, the more i love it. Thanks for sharing this.
..... or it's in the software but has been deliberately crippled......
Yeah
GIMMIE all the Mavic Mini videos, gotta pass the time between “Processing your order” to “Delivered”
I've bought mine and picking up from the shop next week. Passing the time with mavic videos hahaha
I ordered last month been over 25 business days nothin yet called the company 2 days ago finally got a tracking number
Oh no! I ordered my 8 days ago, with a promise it would ship in 10-15 days. It seems they might be back-ordered a bit in China.
ME TOO!!
Char Aznable i ordered nov15 and got it dec9! I was worried but theyre doing it dont worry guys
I think the box allows the mini to establish a GPS center for the circle as well as a target to have the camera track with the use of yaw as the circle is flown. The circle still will be flown as a GPS circle/no actual tracking. If the target moves too quickly out of frame then camera tracking lock is broken but the circle completes.
Let’s hope that it gets active track
Because it doesn't have any front and back sensors, DJI might avoid adding this feature, unfortunately.
@@dursunn Spark only had front facing sensors. Furthermore, they could have an active track that tracks by keeping you in frame. The operator controls all the movements.
I have the mavic 2 and crashed it. I loved it. Got the mini mavic there, nowhere near as good but i still love it. Not having active track is a really bad thing when used to the mavic 2. But just have to accept it will never EVER have it. Its a marketing tactic. It could easily have it but u dont have it for all the price of the mini mavic. If they were to give it actice track people wouldnt buy their other drone mate
Stephen Hamilton I kind of figured that they wouldn’t buy the Mavic Air or the Mavic 2s
@@Lynx-vi3bi I'd love the ability to control drone as it keeps you in frame. Shouldnt be hard to implement either.
Great info Russ. Looks like you’re having lots of fun with the mini.
Nice insight, thanks for the tip. For those newbies out there that don’t want to lose their drone in a tree, be extremely careful when you put the drone into a Quick shot Mode that circles you. If you do your research, you’ll find most drone accidents, where people lose their drones are when they are flying sideways and the Drone runs into a tree or some other object.
Great find! That was my thought also. I hope DJI gives us active tracking. Looks like the Mini is capable.
Im buying this as my first drone. Hollywood, here I come!
today i've had my second fly. i think it's a very fun drone.
and it's also my first drone.
what do you thing after one month
@@trevortrooster5524 love it!
I would recommend buying a cheaper drone first to get used to flying and avoiding obstacles but it’s up to you.
Hansen McDonnell yeah just comment 7 months later when the man already has the drone 🙄
same got it 2 weeks ago
6:10 FYI the mavic mini has a better wifi connection than the mavic air and the spark.
Thanks for the info! I am amazed at what this little drone can do! At first, I wasn't really interested in it. But wow......I had no idea what this drone can actually do (handle wind, camera quality, features). For the price.....it's better than it should be. I will seriously consider buying one soon. Thanks for this video, helped me make my decision to get one.
Hi Russ, I noticed that same trick while using circle when my buddy was combining corn. It worked great!
I imagine it won’t be able to active track as it has no collision avoidance sensors, so could track someone but would just end up in a tree
That can happen with regular quickshot anyways
I’m still waiting for my Mini. I hoped it would be possible. Know I see: it’s possible! Thank you for your sharing!
OMG! Yes! I have been looking for someone to try moving during these preset modes! Not perfect, but I agree, it could be a future add. This drone is on my list of future toys...
Wow!! It means it has a kind of follow me mode while doing the circles. Bang on - now its my must buy mate!!
New to drones, bought the mavic mini yesterday. Love your tutorils.
Thanks Russ for the great find.
But my non-intelligent Mavic 2 Pro wasn’t happy to hear that.
It ate my Mavic Mini.
Thanks for all your videos and now heading over to the DRONE Car
Have a great weekend thank you
Great video Russ! I would argue that the mini does have better connection to the controller then my mavic air did. Love the mini! Keep up the great work 👍
Nice! I was wondering if it had tracking ability since some of the quick shots seem to require it in some form. Cheers brother. Happy thanksgiving!
Well, I read the title and instantly knew what's coming lol. Active Track is technically implemented in the Mini, I think DJI just doesn't want us to use it / have it with the mini for 2 Reasons: 1st is the obviouse pricing, it's a affordable entry level model (even if it's a great drone) and so they have to save some features for the more expensive models. 2nd reason might be the missing obstacle avoidance sensors which could cause problems in active track mode. It's not exactly that DJI would gurantee no damage/colission with any of their obstacle avoidance systems but at least they can say that they added as much saftey mechanics as they could for this special feature.
You can't compare active track with the other quickshot modes because in all other modes, the subject is supposed to stand still while active track is clearly meant to be used with moving objects.
I wouldn't be supprised if DJI patches this out with the next FW release instead of adding active track .... we'll see, but don't be mad at me if they do so ;-)
SO MANY MAVIC MINI VIDEOS... and I love it. Waiting for Dec 4th to finally get mine.
Just ordered my mini Friday, beyond pumped for it! I really do hope it gets active track.
That so cool’ thanks for the info
Thanks for the info... I’m still waiting on mine which was ordered November 9th... I’m told it would ship December 15th tho... so I continue to wait.
Just got the mavic mini and have been browsing UA-cam and stumbled across your channel. Thanks for the cool video. Gonna try the quick shots. Haven’t done that just yet due to poor flying conditions.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TEST IF THIS WORKS , THANKYOU!
Hey, great channel. Just got my first drone and I'm very entertained whilst simultaneously informed. Thanks mate!
I just got my Mavic Mini over this weekend. I was curious about a “follow me” function. Granted, my first drone, so probably ignorance on myself. The circle function with the tracking is something I’ll definitely try. I wakeboard as well as jet ski. So, this video has definitely helped me. We also ran into the unlock problem today. Frustrating but went to a nearby park.

Active tracking, raw files, 360 automated picture taking, bracketing, devkit for Litchi, all of these requires nothing more than a removed software limitation to not be an artificially stripped down version of what is already there.
Does it have asteroid mode and spherical 360
@@cookiimonster7196 No
Thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS. Hope you have a good one 🤗
As a professionnal, I have a mavic 2 pro but decided to buy the mavic mini. This incredible little device can get where the mavic 2 pro cannot ! I have no intention on sending it far away but just to get access to tiny spaces, and man, the mavic mini do the job !
I just tried the circle mode on a slow moving subject and it looks really cool!!! Thanks for the vid.
That's awesome will try it. Hopefully DJI will add a few more quick shots like the mavic air has.
Thanks for the info and tips. Quickshots really seem great. Your videos are excellent. I have a P4 and love it. Bought a Mini for traveling. I received my mini on Thursday but Santa said I can't open it until Christmas morning. LOL. Merry Christmas!
Took mine out for a spin to creek n park! It’s really smooth! Thanks
Let hope active track is on the way! Thanks bud
Thanks Russ for the cool info on the Mini. I'm still vacillating between - buy/no buy/wait for the next edition. The mini is definitely less expensive than the Mavic Pro 2 I have on hold. Price on the Pro 2 fly more kit, is a real consideration, given what they used to cost.
Appreciate your channel and the info you present on the Mavic series of drones.
Your comment about the Self Unlock not being part of the current firm ware, is quite true. There was a gentleman with a Mini at the Apollo XI field in Los Angeles (where I fly my Platinum), who couldn't fly his mini, because the field sits within Class D airspace of Van Nuys Airport. So thinking I may wait on the mini, until you mention an update on the Self Unlock feature coming out.
Cheers, and Happy Holidays.
DJI support has confirmed that self unlock will be on the next release of the app planned to the end of December. Where I live and where I usually fly needs authorization.

I like smart people! Your follow hack is awesome. You are the first one who gave me a hint on how I can make my Mavic Mini to follow me. I will try that.
It is good to have all these informative videos, because you can lear quick and hard on mistakes made by others, as well as new discoveries.
Thank you for one more fact learned about Mini. I'll sure test it myself. ;)
Thanks for the review! Loving the Mavic Mini. Distance and camera is decent enough to get some amazing shots!
ive been thinking about this since it came out. finally, a review that goes over this
Thank you for sharing this! I was wondering this very thing.
Merry Christmas, Russ to you and family from NW Fla panhandle🙏🏼🎄🙏🏼
Great video! My Mavic Mini will be coming in this upcoming Monday 😎😎😎
Haven't got the Mini yet, but it looks like a capable and fun little thing with a lot of potential.😊
Like your ride too... 👍
That’s genius! Active track is coming!
Yes Sir. You have made my day.
Def lookin to trade up from my Phantom 3 but hoping they raise the 120’ limit on the quick shots and circle shots etc
Thank you for sharing this awesome hidden feature 51Drones !! 🚀👍🏼🚀🔥
Great hidden feature. Cant wait to try it! I always love seeing people experiment with their gear!
They would have removed active track for the fact that the mini doesn’t have surrounding sensors meaning it could possible knock into things while trying to follow the object which could possible destroy the drone and its reputation.
1tz_Noah every mavic has active track.....
Never thought of that . Hmmm gonna try with spark until i finally get the mini .
Spark has active track 🤔🤷🏽♀️
Cool find 😎👍 Thanks for sharing.
I’ll learn everything I need to know about the Mavic Mini before I ever receive it. Sigh....all the UA-camrs have them already. Hope in future videos you might address this issue. BTW, looks like you had a good time.
Just order from best buy Canada there just sitting there in stock in store lol
Had it over 2 weeks lol
They've been sitting in stock on Amazon since the day they came out. Had mine a few days after it released
Great find!! I love my new Mavic Mini!!
Thanks for the tips!
My first drone was a Phantom 2 Vision plus. I hated it and never bought another drone till the mini came out and thought screw it I have some savings. Bought it flew it around the house to get used to the controls and I absolutely love it. Compared to the phantom 2v+ this is a massive upgrade for me
Thank you for testing the somewhat active mode with the quick shot featre.
Thanks for a great video. The self unlocking is very frustrating at the moment. hope that gets fixed
Thank you for the info Sir!
Great information in this video. Thank you. What I believe, however, is that these features were skipped for a reason. The Mavic mini is my first drone. I bought it a week ago and I am already thinking how to upgrade drone footage to 4k. Well, I would have to do that by buying a more expensive drone. I believe people either buy the mini and never fly it or they fly it and need a more expensive drone in the future.
awesome video! really informative... I just got a mini and started making videos so this will help a-lot!
Great video! Very well done. !
Excellent information! Thanks!
If you put the RTH to the point where the radiocommand is (easily done in the option), and you move during the MM is rth, it track you up to 9 m/s.
Very good find, man! 👌
Russ, as you mentioned in the video the Mavic Mini is going to be on many a persons Christmas list. As A 107 Pilot I haven't had to pay much attention to the hobbyist class. Please consider a video for the 2019 Christmas club. A welcome, things to do before you fly, Rules for Hobbyist, an rules pertaining to posting pictures that could be considered for profit. Keep up the good work.
If you walk straight while doing the Helix it will follow you while doing the his thing
I’m from the future. Mavic mini still doesn’t have the active tracking and we have the new coronavirus
I'm even farther from the future. The world is breaking apart.
I'm even FARTHER in the future and we STILL don't have active track, self unlock and intelligence is slowly diminishing across the world.
I like that globe zoom out feature. Add that and it's sold!
Subscribed after watching u r first video❤️
Nice find. I also live in a nfz and dji said the same thing after hours of research. Hooe the self unlock comes soon
Great tip! Thanks
Hey Russ, I like your experimental nature. I wonder if the reason they don't have active track on this drone is because it doesn't have forward obstacle sensors?
We viewers are thankful for your channel, as well! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Tim!
your in Minot,ND I know the truckstop!... Im just north of you in MB.. Thanks for this video!
Very cool Russ!
Great Tips 👍 Thanks
Awesome , Thank you
Hey, very nice, thank you 4 the Video.
Badass! Thank you!
I do hope active tracking will be available soon. Nice find sir!
Great find!
Thanks for the information..
Please get active tracking! Im amazed at how scary being a newbie i am afraid of losing this little guy! Ive been slowly expanding my limits! Thank you
Try and watch some YT videos on flyaways, they almost always involve someone piloting their mini out in a situation where it cannot get back (wind). Try and fly into the wind going out so you can come back with the wind, if it's way too windy don't fly. If it loses connection it should RTH but remember it may go high to come home, if there's wind this could be a problem. Planning can avoid all of this! Fly within your limits. You'll be ok! :o)
Nice video man. Wish you best of luck with your channel
Hello there, I have subscribed to you today (from the UK). Great videos, am looking at getting a Mavic Mini for a Far East trip later this year (2020). What editing package you use for editing your drone footage? I have an iMac and also a iPad Pro with Lumafusion. Thanks and keep up the great work on your videos.
Nice little trick there. I suspected that it could actively track but there's no way DJI will unlock it. They want you to pay to play.
I took mine out yesterday and had some fun with the quick shots. I'm currently trying to get a solid work flow out of this little thing for some Photogrammetry...so far its working OK! As for the camera quality, I'm actually surprised how good it looks. As usual, UA-cam destroys the quality of the footage, but right off the drone it's way better than I expected. More than good enough for Instagram and even not to bad for larger screens with a little bit of post done to it. This little guy wont replace my custom rigs that carry GoPros and bigger cameras but because it's so small it now goes with me everywhere!
Hey so I basically bought DJI care refresh and DJI care refresh + for my mavic mini in the same date.I was wondering if the warranty is now activated and for how long is it activated for?
Got it as my first drone 2 days ago. Unfortunately very windy here so haven't flown much and working night shift on a reality TV show so no time. But I see dji will release the sdk later this year and then the litchi app will hopefully be compatible and it has a ton of features.
Hello Russ. I am new to your channel and absolutely love your content. Very informative. Thank you.
You can make it fly in a no-fly zone if you started up without a cell phone hooked up to the controller.. power the controller and the mini on and then put the sticks diagonally down in or out you can't fly as high or far away but you can still fly it in restricted areas
It’s the active track that i want and made me think twice to get the mini instead of spark
Mavic Mini is able to track via software. The Litchi App for Mavic Mini did showed, that this is possible. Your Video shows also, that the mavic Mini is able to lock on a subject. I guess she 'll never get an update, because of sales to the mini 2.
Me too feel "follow me" feature can be added thru firmware update, it had been done at osmo pocket.
but when ?
Great video! Thanks for the tips and the good ending!
