I have a spark, but I am feeling like id like more flight time, I do not care that much about having a camera thats better than 1080p, as my monitor at home is 1080p anyways. Could you reccomend me somthing that gets more flight time than my spark, but still uses my dji RE goggles? Been watching a lot of ypur videos and the mini seems like it would work for that just wondering if theres anything better.
Do you enjoy the fpv goggles? I've never tried them with a drone and also makes me nervous to try when I cannot see the drone. That being said I think they would be great when using a spotter to inform me of anything critical in line of sight.
@@theirrigationdude honestly its the best way to fly anything in my opinion. Your phone battery doesnt get drained, theres no screen glare from the sun. As for not wanting to hit stuff, just fly above 100ft and clear everything youd hit, I fly up to the tallest object around and then go up as high as it is, then add 20 ft to my RTH height above that and then dont worry about it. Maybe if you live in a city with huge buildings you cant do that though... honestly rn you can get the dji goggles that only work with dji stuff for like 150 of you just wana try it, the RE that work on anything though are twice that.
I don’t have the goggles but I have a Spark and I was thinking the same as you so I bought an original Mavic Pro. You can get them for a good price sometimes. I agree with you on the 1080p I only shoot in 1080p because I have nothing to view 4K and my computer isn’t powerful enough to edit in 4K.
Dustin...... The battery mod is a must ! .....Please!......I will be ordering one of these ,saving as I type! Another out of the park slam review well done as always.
I just love the candy cane pen pointer. Great review. Looking forward to the modified battery flight. I love that you are so real and genuine with your reviews. Happy Thanksgiving!!
I couldn't find any instructions on charging my controller, I think I figured it out and used one of the cables with a usb connector, I kept it on the charger until it lit up 4 lights solidly. BTW, I'm going to turn 71 y/o tomorrow, June 19, 2020 and this is my first time with a DJI Mavic Mini so, any pointers anyone would like to share with me will be greatly appreciated. I'm subbed and left a thumbs up, I also clicked on the bell in hopes of seeing more of your videos on this Mavic Mini. Thank's again for sharing.
My Z Flip display is so vivid that I think the view will be stunning on that drone. I need a female USB Type C to HDMI cable to connect my Avegant Glyph to this controller.
You make the best tutorial drone videos on RUclips. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for your magnificent efforts. I live in London, in England and i may not be able to get the distances you achieve but I will sure have fun flying my Mavic Mini after learning from you. 🤝
Thanks for the Mavic Mini Series videos! Very informative! I actually just bought one last night and can't wait to get flying! I do have one question though: How ON EARTH did you accomplish plugging this in correctly on the first try ( 9:10 )? It usually takes the average human 8 or 9 tries.
Question, are you able to hop on a flight with this sort of stuff? I am sure you can't pack them in your checked bags but do they blow a gasket if you try to carry this in via hand baggage?
I have traveled with my Spark. My home airport just let it go through inside a hard case inside my backpack. Other airports have required it to be taken out of my backpack as you would a laptop. Technically you could put the drone in your checked baggage but extra batteries must be in your carry-ons.
hi Dustin, I'm just getting into drones, , and looking to buy one, can i ask you what would be your first choice between this and the DJI Spark and why? i eagerly await your reply
Dustin, I have a question and maybe need some advice. I currently have the M2P & FIMI X8 SE. The FIMI X8 SE I got for my 18yr old son and I use the M2P. Anyways, the stability in the air is just so much better with the M2P and I like the UI better on the M2P as well...anyways, I’m contemplating selling the FIMI X8 SE and getting my son the MavicMini. My only concern is no active track for the MM. What’s the likelihood you think DJI comes out with an update with active track for the MM? The Drone already does “some” tracking in the quickshots (you can move and it will follow you on some of these). That’s the only thing holding me back on switching from FIMI X8 SE to MM for my son. He has some uses for the tracking and needs that.
Tweaking the battery might not be the best option due to syncing with the batteries and it will probably check its tweaked. DJI won't let you fly with third party batteries. But... Great video!
loved all your work you do, i bought the bebop 2, the mavic air, and now, the mini mavic is on my list, you tell us all everything we need to know without the bull, in full detail, keep it up.
Dustin, about the battery mod I suggested before... Did some research, maybe 36G is not the best choice because it is prone to overheating. Maybe it would be better to go with LG equivalent, or just use good old Samsung's 30Q - they have a bit less capacity, but their discharge power is excellent. You will probably need the flat top, unprotected version. Also, if I may suggest... When disconnecting the original cells from pcb, keep it powered from another source. That may help to trick anti-tampering protection DJI might have in place (it is not a panacea, but it will reduce chance of killing the battery permanently). Again, looking forward with much anticipation. Thank you.
Thank you for the video. Enjoyable indeed. I just ordered this kit and I am super excited. It is one gram less than the weight restrictions, no having to have all the certifications for flights. Perfect basically.
Very informative. I’ve been thinking about getting a mini for my son. He’s old enough and I would think that the mini would be the perfect start drone.🙂
If you do mod a battery pack, I’d recommend using Samsung 35E 18650 cells. They’re about $5 each and they have a 3500mAh capacity, which should give you about 13 more (theoretical) minutes of flight time compared to the standard 2400 mAh pack! (if i did my math right haha) Definitely be careful dissembling it though, and update us if you decide to do it :)
Very impressive range test on Mavic Mini, if you could mod that battery successfully, I'd be curious to see just how far the controller range yields as I would recommend using the parabolic dish antenna enhancement for a modded range test.
Hi, I am thinking of buying the Mavic mini as my first drone. As a complete novice could you please help with a question. When you start recording the drone footage, does it record straight onto your phone or is there an SD type card required onboard the drone. Thanks in advance, Steve
When I ordered the fly more spark it took the standard 5 days to get delivered, I think people with the long wait just ordered when they ran out of stock and its just saying up to 30 days, when it wont actually take that long.
@@iamalwayswrite If you put the guards on, it makes the drone over 250g which makes it illegal to fly unless you basically have a pilots licence. It's a $5000 fine for flying without the licence.
Hi Dustin, nice video and very complete to explain it, by the way, what devices are used in making this video? the video and sound are clear and nice, can you share with me? .. "SALAM UDARA"...visit my channel and give me advice for improvement .... Thanks Bro ...
Worth mentioning as soon as you put those propeller guards on, which would be great for indoors, it will put the mini over 250g and if flying outside, needs to be registered with the FAA in the States...
You can just boot it up and fly without any device if you've already activated it. Both sticks in and down to start motors after it gets GPS lock (give it a minute before you fly) 🍻
I hate my life I can't even affort an 100$ toy thing drone 😫😫😫......hope someday I get one of those gifted..........I even have a really bad luck I'm going to try an giveaway
Is it really necessary to have the fly more combo? 22 (real) minutes flight time might be good for you but 44 dont know if your girlfriend/wife will be annoyed and 66 minutes will be a deathwish. Is it worth it? thanks

Can I have one please because I don't have any money to pay for it
I like that mavic mini. Thats a drone i wouldn't mine owning. Thanks for the video
This was published on my brothers birthday
Thank you! I'm glad I got to watch this video. I will be owning a mini soon ✌️
cant get the combo anywhere lol. will have to wait. great review my friend. looking forward to more flights with this little bird. :)
Amazon now I got one refurbished 370 total with tax too
Great video Dustin. The mini looks very interesting.

I've taken my Mavic 2 and Mavic Air flymore combos on a few planes with 6 batteries and they checked them once and let them go.

do a mavic mini crash test
like hit a wall slow with no prop guards on
How do you adjust the payload when add the propeller guards?
I just got mine picked up from store, and this video helped me perfectly, like the rest of yours Mavic Mini videos. Thank you! And keep them coming!

Thanks is for the recommendations Yevgeniy 👍
Where have you gone Dustin? Hope your well and post something soon.
How is it a "raw" impression if you've already flown it multiple times.....I'm confused?
I've never seen what's in the fly more combo box
Thanks for your reviews, I have watched all 3 on the Mavic Mini and I can't wait to get mine.
Thank you for the video,Dustin.I would like to see you do a review of the Contix F30.It’s not a Mavic'but it is a nice little drone
Great video and really looking forward to the battery mods
Thank you for the video. Enjoyable indeed. I just ordered this kit and I am super excited. It is one gram less than the weight restrictions, no having to have all the certifications for flights. Perfect basically.
Hi bud. I CAN'T pair my dji mini i tried everything. It will not pair with my Controller. Plz help thx
Damn Dustin First time ever i'm watching a video from you with the actual drone in the video
THANKS ALOT 🙃
I’ll search your archive but I need to see how to hook the phone in the controller. I have iPhone 7 Plus, seems too big but hopefully will work?
I got the 'combo' and it ended up costing me $1000, had to purchase a new phone being my old phone could not be upgraded to V10 ...
The combo please
I like your videos. Have the Mavic Mini Flymore on the way. This save me some time and educated me on what I should expect. Keep on educating. Lol
Very informative. I’ve been thinking about getting a mini for my son. He’s old enough and I would think that the mini would be the perfect start drone.🙂
I wish my dad was thinking to gift me this but no...😫
If i have galaxy note 10+ it will work good with the controler? My phone realy big.
Hi I'm new to all of this and got about £200 I was thinking of getting a hubsan h501ss is that a good one? Or can you recommend something
Looking to buy my 1st mavic mini fly combo and your series is awesome beautifully presented 👌
Do I need a micro USB ? It didn't come with one. So not sure if I need or not wanting to record video obviously
Just got my first drone the same as you've got there the combo, £259 was a steal.
If the weather is 80 degree outside will it over heat when flying? I live outside Philadelphia.
I just bought one and it came from china to the US and then back to china then to japan then back to the US. Is that normal?
My first thoughts as well on those batteries. Get some 3500ah high output batteries and WOW.
I subscibe i wait for battery mod :)
Bro i need it can you give me in my country the thing is not here?//
Can you test with cage protector outside?
Again good detail in your descriptions. Look forward to mine.
can you use the mavic pro controller with the mavic mini or vice versa ?
Men your luck to have a so much drone of DJI I won't mavic mini haha nice vidio
Thanks Dustin This is helpful Im ordering this one
Has connectivity issues, sent mine back..
One thing you did"ent mention, how do you change the controller???

Can you help me? Which one is good? Mavic mini or phantom 3 pro?
Hay bud I think you have tested every drone but I have not seen you test the tello drone yet🤙
How do you plan on swapping the cells Dustin?
Please mod it, would be for a very cool video!!!!
Agreed
😉
I have the same one, love it!
Very impressive range test on Mavic Mini, if you could mod that battery successfully, I'd be curious to see just how far the controller range yields as I would recommend using the parabolic dish antenna enhancement for a modded range test.
I went to a dji store and they told me that it doesnt work but most youtubers say they do
I was flying my mavic mini. I got booked because i had the propeller guards on and it was 251 grams
Where? Europe?
I pre-ordered from DJI still waiting for shipment. Did you order from DJI?
Brandon Q get from amazon 4 days shipping
Nah I got it from jessops
2 day shipping
Great content as always! Thanks Dustin
Very nice unboxing as usual! Good job!
I just bought one not knowing the new mini 2 is coming out Should I return this one and wait ?
I think it's just a rumour at the moment.
U can give away these drone to me plssss🙏🙏🙏
Can you do a giwaway
Hi, I am thinking of buying the Mavic mini as my first drone. As a complete novice could you please help with a question. When you start recording the drone footage, does it record straight onto your phone or is there an SD type card required onboard the drone. Thanks in advance, Steve
Both, it will cache a lower resolution video to your device and also record to the onboard sd card on drone 🍻
Dustin, Thank you very much for your help.
Should I buy a mini or renewed Mavic pro?
Nice vid as always! 👌
Hello
i have a quick question -
how long you had to wait to receive the fly more combo ., is it true that it takes like 30 days
When I ordered the fly more spark it took the standard 5 days to get delivered, I think people with the long wait just ordered when they ran out of stock and its just saying up to 30 days, when it wont actually take that long.
I have decided that the mavic mini was inspired by a star trek next generation shuttle craft.
PSA: In canada, using the prop guards will cost you $5000cdn...
@@iamalwayswrite If you put the guards on, it makes the drone over 250g which makes it illegal to fly unless you basically have a pilots licence. It's a $5000 fine for flying without the licence.

Have you thought of doing a video with the Propeller guards to see how long it lasts in flight? Maybe you have done a video not sure.
Do you get the three batteries in the package
Looks like that foam on the legs might just be there to hide the wires? Probably to cut down on weight.
Note to self: don't sit on case. ;)
