Great comparison...As you said given the features of these two drones I think price and weight (i.e., being under 250grams) are the most important considerations. In the USA if you to look at the total price of the Fly More combo (w/taxes of 7.75%) with DJI Care Refresh for both drones...You'll see that the DJI Mini 2 price comes in ($694) versus the Mavic Air 2 ($1,143). And that is a whopping $450 difference...that's quite a big difference. Also in the USA once the RemoteID goes into "full effect" you will have to pay MONTHLY fees to the USS's just to be able to fly any drone over 249grams...those monthly fees are still TBD...and even if they do start off as modest fees I believe they will continue to increase over time. And of course you don't have to pay registration fees for the Mini 2 ($5/yr) unless you are a part 107 pilot. I'm not sure if the sub 250g drone pilots will be required to take a pilots test...or if there will there be a fee to take that test? My point is that the Mini 2 is significantly less expensive upfront than the Mavic Air 2 out of the box and also potentially much cheaper in the longer run with RemoteID monthly flight fees. Just Something to consider. Clearly the Mavic Air 2 is a much better drone than the Mini 2 but is it worth the extra costs? The features I think most pilots would miss the most if they went with the Mini 2 is the Spotlight /Point of Interest modes enabled by the Active Track capability in the Mavic Air 2. The Spotlight feature makes getting somewhat challenging shots so much easier (e.g., filming a moving object and rotating around that object).
Thank you so much for not using any rude words and rather just keeping quiet instead of saying them. It shows character and makes the content more family friendly, meaning that I can share the videos with many more people! Love your channel and thanks for making such great content!
I'm very happy that I came across your videos. I have subscribed to your channel and you definitely helped me make a decision on which drone I am going to purchase. I am you latest fan! ✌🏽️
The range is the same, the flight time is almost the same. They both handle wind the same. The advantage with the mini; Less than 250 grams, cheaper, smaller. The MA2 has obstacle avoidance, 4k 60fps video, video zoom, better camera sensor, slightly longer flight time, slightly faster. That's the main differences.
Thank you so much for your work. I've learnt a lot about drones in general from just watching this video. However, i am still conflicted which one to buy! Would you be covering cases for carrying these drones? It would be very helpful.
Which one will you buy?

for me, air 2 is still the best for it's price range. mini 2 is promising though. Nice review and comparison. looking forward for the wind test and night shot.
Great comparison! And what do you think about Fimi X8 mini vs DJI mini 2. Which one has better image, colours, sharpness and image stabilization? Btw, another competitor is coming: meet Zino Mini Pro. Interesting to know what do you think:)
If you can afford it you should buy both the mini 2 and Mavic air 2. The mini 2 gives you ultimate in convenience and avoids over 250g regulatory hassles. . Meanwhile the mavic air 2 has the better camera/video, is more stable in wind, has obstacle avoidance sensors/follow me/tracking. And most important the ASTEROID quickshot.
I wouldn't say it's a fair comparison since one can withstand greater winds speeds (Mavic Air 2) and the other one can't. It's the biggest let down I would say + the inability to film in D-Cinelike for the Mini 2...I'm loving my Mavic Air 2 and keeping it unil Mavic Pro 3 comes out :)
I think both drones are very good and it depends on what you are after. The Air 2 has got a few more flight modes like focus track (spotlight and active track), HDR, hyperlapse, slow motion and asteroid quickshot as well as more frames per second in 4k, 2.7k and 1080p. It also has a slightly longer flight time, more stable in the air due to its weight, more photo options including 48MP and a better video transmission 1080p. It is also easier to change propellers, but i think no one would change propellers unless its broken. The mini 2 is is lighter, easier to carry, better satellite connection, chargeable by powerbank and much quieter than the air. As for the sensor, although it is all the time said that the air 2 has 0.5 inches sensor, the mini is not far behind at 0.43 inches sensor. By and large, i think if someone is willing to pay double than the mini 2 for more flight options, slightly better video transmission and quality then go for it. Otherwise, i think the mini 2 suffice most needs, unless you are a professional then go straight to pro 2.
I am a beginner and I can afford the Air 2 however, with the new regulations, even if it could receive retrospective CE class marking, it will always be necessary an A2 CofC to fly it. And remember that MA2 and any other drone lacking a CE classification will fall under the legacy rule in 2023 and would need to be flown in the A3 subcategory, far from people. The Mini 2 will always be a rule beat even after 2023. But I am holding the buy button for three weeks (Mini 2 vs Air 2) because the Mini 2 does not have things like HDR, ActiveTrack and the sensors.
@@linacioYT I'm the same eating away at me whether to buy the ma2,the amount of ma2 s that are sold id highly doubt it that everyone is obeying the rules and regulations
@@piee683 meanwhile I have discovered that here, in Portugal, you will need a permit for every single flight, even with the Mini 2! If your drone has a camera, you will need to ask for a permit to flight at least 10 days before taking of. They are just killing the pleasure.

@@haunter14 Thank you! I'm still waiting to get some serious wind to test it to the max lol.
@@DronesGator yup :) hope it will survived.
Probably the mini 2 considering I'm not going to spend over $500. My birthday is the 24th so its the mini 2 or parrot anafi
Recommend the mini instead of the anafi to be frank
Terima kasih temanku...
I heard that for mavic drone 2 570gr, it was necessary to pass a theoretical examination of 40 questions. May or I can pass test on which website
Great comparison! And what do you think about Fimi X8 mini vs DJI mini 2. Which one has better image, colours, sharpness and image stabilization? Btw, another competitor is coming: meet Zino Mini Pro. Interesting to know what do you think:)
Hands down Mini2 is much clearer and better overall. Like hands down smacked with a ruler don't even bother touching the x8 mini its 💩.
Mav air 2 is my vote if u can

Dji says that they have the same wind stability. I need to test it further. They re very different in price tho.
@@DronesGator They certainly don't have the same weight though and that changes the stability in high winds
I think both drones are very good and it depends on what you are after.
The Air 2 has got a few more flight modes like focus track (spotlight and active track), HDR, hyperlapse, slow motion and asteroid quickshot as well as more frames per second in 4k, 2.7k and 1080p.

I don't need a drone which costs over 500$ and don't have active track
You have an
