DJI Mavic Mini (Fly As You Are)

(Slightly off topic)
The DJI FPV kit is Da Bomb - I’m trying to edit some flights together for a video - it’s an incredible piece of kit.
Oh no! - I’m a DJI Fanboy :man_facepalming:
(Normal service resumes)

After seeing how noisy the Mavic Air was, I’d like a nice clear video of the Mini taking off to gauge how loud it is :+1:

I say I like the notoriety, but “do a @colinbm”? Too far. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nah, actually that’s fine.

It is, by far (see what I did there), the definitive exemplar of “RTH + OA” saving the day.

Sorry Dave, I completely missed the differences in the model numbers themselves. So yes, looking at that, it does indeed look like two physically different versions.

Which is a big shift for DJI, they’ve always managed CE/FCC mode with GPS location and firmware in the past.

It’s a bollocks for us as it means no FCC hacks.

Wonder if you can swap the radio modules out? :thinking:

Challenge accepted! :pirate_flag:

Ten minutes? Several hundred units I’m guessing :thinking:

The dispatch time is wildly different for the basic vs flymore kits though, 12-19 days versus 20-25 days.

Good video from Flytpath too:

Nowhere near as much iCandy as @milkmanchris video link though :wink:

And I’m still pissed off that this wasn’t an actual launch event and was just a pissing YouTube video :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Anyone planning on buying the ornamental mantelpiece charger?

Prop holder looks useful, especially as this drone will probably live in a coat pocket:

A rubber band might do the job equally as well though.

I think it was one of the worst DJI launches I’ve witnessed

Where’s that from Dave? I can’t seem to find mention of a lipo battery anywhere? :thinking:

I am wondering the same. Please post a link Dave / @OzoneVibe

Very near the bottom of the specs page …

Third time I’ve posted that link …. :wink:

Really oh sorry

Weird, no option to actually buy it :man_shrugging:

Random (and useless) fact of the day, the wingspan of the Mini is almost identical to that of the Air.

As the camera looks to be the same as the Air (1/2.3” CMOS / 12MP) I’m also wondering if the specs may be restricted by software alone?

4K video I can live without (I don’t even own a 4K TV) but the lack of RAW photo mode is a bollocks. Maybe something could be unlocked… :hammer_and_wrench:

Quite sure i read that DJI have crippled it to 2.7 k.so as not to effect sales of the other mavics,so yes, i would think it is a software limitation…so maybe it could be “Hacked”:wink::wink::+1:

Yeah, would make sense I guess.

Wondering how long before DJI release the SDK for it too, no doubt the guys at Litchi are ready and waiting.

I seem to remember the SDK for the Air took forever to get released, but when it did there was a Litchi beta available within a matter of days :smiley:
