DJI's original sub-250g drone that started the lightweight revolution, with extended kit.
The DJI Mavic Mini Fly More Combo was DJI's first sub-249g drone, released in 2019. By staying under the 250g registration threshold, it opened drone flying to a massive audience who previously faced regulatory barriers. The Fly More Combo includes three batteries, a charging hub, and a carry case.
The Mavic Mini features a 1/2.3-inch sensor recording 2.7K video and 12MP photos. Flight time is up to 30 minutes per battery. It has no obstacle avoidance sensors and relies on downward-facing vision sensors for landing. The controller uses a phone holder clip design. GPS and return-to-home are included.
The Mavic Mini was revolutionary for its weight class but is now outdated compared to the Mini 2, Mini 3, and Mini 4 Pro which added 4K video, obstacle sensing, and improved sensors. It lacks the 4K capability that has become standard and has limited wind resistance.
Cheap used but showing its age. Check all three batteries hold charge, verify the gimbal moves freely, and test GPS lock speed. The Mini 2 is a significantly better drone with 4K video at only a modest price premium. The original Mavic Mini is best suited to casual users who want the cheapest possible drone flying experience.
