No way 
Their plan is to release uncertified new models now, then release newer certified models when the regs change and fleece everyone all over again 
They aināt daft

Ocusync and 4K.

That fucking remote control though, itās anything but āminiā

Level 5 wind resistance is same as Air 2, old Mini was level 4 so thatās an improvement!
Thatās ok, the Mini 1 doesnāt have those features either 
No - but some would probably like them. Just flagging it,

Indeed - I donāt ever use either on the MP - so, in that respect, and with changing legislation, it may be an interesting prospect some time next year for myself.

I canāt wait for Ianās no nonesense and unbiased appraisal of the mini 2.
I have the mavic mini and Air 2 and both have performed outstandingly. I realised the miniās limitations very quickly and the Air 2 was purchased not long after to bridge the gap. I just hope the regulation goal posts donāt change again for those that dive in and buy the mini 2.
Now do I need another Drone?

Assuming all the hype is accurate and having owned the mini 1. I would think that the case and controller were a backward step in my opinion, however both are trumped by the addition of ocusync 2.0 which makes it all worthwhile.
Still waiting to see what a Mavic 3 might look like though 
. Interchangeable cameras, larger sensor and longer flight time would be a significant enticement.

So yes, my thoughts exactly.
Placed your pre-order yet?
Iāve not seen this controller in the flesh (same controller as Air 2, right?)
Do the joysticks unscrew and stow away in the bottom?
Yes, the pic on my vid shows them unscrewed.
Funny, I hated the new remote at first, but now love it and find the old remotes small and almost cheap to feel. And I really hated the bag, until I went hiking, then loved itā¦

I think Iāve only ever travelled with my Mavic Mini in my pocket 
The remote fits in one pocket, the drone in the other (cargo-type trousers).
Which means the new remote, with sticks also unscrewed shouldnāt be a problem either.
No, the quality of the box, printing and the actual drone was too good, especially considering the quality of the actual video madeā¦
But there have been a few others that ran to Best Buy and saw the boxes but couldnāt actually buy themā¦
What could be a hoax is the whole premise of accidentally selling themā¦ But then look at Argos 2 years ago with the 2 Proā¦ Pre stocking worldwide runs risksā¦
