Unlike the Parrot Anafi, it can't look up, which would have been a bonus, but its range is typical of most drones. The controller's jog-dial at the top pivots the camera vertically through 90 degrees, so it can look forward through to down. The drone also ships with Lightning, micro USB, and USB-C cables, so whatever smartphone you have, provided its software is compatible with the DJI Mavic Mini's Fly app, you're catered for. On the left side of the controller is a micro USB port for charging and connecting it to your phone. Tucked away in its body are screw-on joysticks, so that when it's collapsed the controller has a flat profile, and when opened out it delivers a traditional feel.
#DJI DRONE MINI ANDROID#
Unlike some other drone controllers, the DJI Mavic Mini's doesn't include a screen instead it unfolds to hold an Android or iOS smartphone.

#DJI DRONE MINI CRACKED#
The Mavic Mini's arms are relatively slender, and we actually cracked one of ours with a 1.8-meter drop – while it still works perfectly, that's something that wouldn't have happened had the safety guards been affixed. That said, there are a couple of sensors at the base to enable smooth landings, along with a battery meter, and a light, so that you can keep tabs on your drone in the air and keep it in line of sight, even at night. The Mini isn’t crash-proof, though there are no obstacle avoidance sensors on its sides, front or back, as found on the DJI Mavic Air 2. The fact that it doesn't crumble every time it's flown is a wonder, and while lightweight is often associated with cheap quality, the Mavic Mini feels anything but cheap. As we mentioned earlier, though, the UK has since changed it laws on drone registration, extending it to all drones with a camera, so it's worth checking your local laws.ĭJI achieved this light form factor by teaming a drone that weighs around 150g with a roughly 100g battery. As mentioned, the Mavic Mini is purpose-built to weigh a fraction under 250g, so that it can bypass the need to be registered with aviation agencies in the US and Australia.
