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.
@@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
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.
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.
Just got the mavic mini and have been browsing RUclips 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.
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.
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...
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 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 👍
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!
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 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
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 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.
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.
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 ;-)
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.
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 !
Great vid, did you try moving forward in Dronie setting? I'm wondering if it would travel even further and keep track of you. I have this drone and I mountain bike looking to get some short tracking sessions with it.
Great find, albeit I was looking at the mavic mini specifically for follow me feature. I currently use the spark with all my cycling videos, but finding the this very bulky and heavy with all the batteries i have to carry. Hope to see files me feature with the mini. Any suggestions on a done that is small and light with files me feature? Appreciate it. .
I’ll learn everything I need to know about the Mavic Mini before I ever receive it. Sigh....all the RUclipsrs have them already. Hope in future videos you might address this issue. BTW, looks like you had a good time.
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.
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.
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?
Hi Russ, hanks for the great tips shared. Just a quick question. Do I need to deactivate the quick shot mode and steer it back after the video is taken or will it deactivate itself and come back towards you ?
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!
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
RUclips 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”
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.
Great info Russ. Looks like you’re having lots of fun with the mini.
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
Great find! That was my thought also. I hope DJI gives us active tracking. Looks like the Mini is capable.
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.

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.

Hi Russ, I noticed that same trick while using circle when my buddy was combining corn. It worked great!
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 👍
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
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!
Wow!! It means it has a kind of follow me mode while doing the circles. Bang on - now its my must buy mate!!
Merry Christmas, Russ to you and family from NW Fla panhandle🙏🏼🎄🙏🏼
Nice video man. Wish you best of luck with your channel
New to drones, bought the mavic mini yesterday. Love your tutorils.
Excellent information! Thanks!
Hello Russ. I am new to your channel and absolutely love your content. Very informative. Thank you.
Great video! My Mavic Mini will be coming in this upcoming Monday 😎😎😎

It ate my Mavic Mini.
Thanks for all your videos and now heading over to the DRONE Car
Have a great weekend thank you
Just ordered my mini Friday, beyond pumped for it! I really do hope it gets active track.
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.
Thanks for the review! Loving the Mavic Mini. Distance and camera is decent enough to get some amazing shots!
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.
Thanks for the tips!
I just tried the circle mode on a slow moving subject and it looks really cool!!! Thanks for the vid.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TEST IF THIS WORKS , THANKYOU!
That's awesome will try it. Hopefully DJI will add a few more quick shots like the mavic air has.
Great find!! I love my new Mavic Mini!!

ive been thinking about this since it came out. finally, a review that goes over this
Hey, very nice, thank you 4 the Video.
Great hidden feature. Cant wait to try it! I always love seeing people experiment with their gear!
awesome video! really informative... I just got a mini and started making videos so this will help a-lot!
6:10 FYI the mavic mini has a better wifi connection than the mavic air and the spark.
Great tip! Thanks
Great Tips 👍 Thanks
Great video! Very well done. !
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.
Very nice, thanks. How do you get out of the quickshot mode back to the live video screen?
Great video! Thanks for the tips and the good ending!

That’s genius! Active track is coming!
Nice tips man!
Congratulations from Brasil! 🇧🇷
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.
Def lookin to trade up from my Phantom 3 but hoping they raise the 120’ limit on the quick shots and circle shots etc
Badass! Thank you!
