About DJI’s Mavic Mini

DJI’s Mavic Mini is one of the best entry-level drones on the market, making it a great fit for those learning how to fly a drone for the first time.

The Mini can fit in the palm of your hand and is almost as light as a smartphone.

In fact, it’s so small that you can fly it recreationally without having to register it, since it weighs 249 grams (about half a pound)—just under the FAA’s minimum weight requirement for registering a drone, which is 250 grams (.55 lbs).

The Mini’s camera can’t compete with the ones found on more expensive prosumer drones from DJI, like the Mavic 2 Pro. But it can still be used for some pretty impressive shots, especially given the relatively low price.

Another attractive feature in the Mini are the different pre-programmed flight maneuvers you can do using QuickShots, which allow those new to flying a drone the ability to capture interesting aerial videos right out of the gate.

A Focus on Safety

The Mavic Mini comes with several safety-related features, which might be reassuring for parents out there considering the Mini for their child, or for new pilots.

Some of those features include:

• Built-in altitude limits
• Automatic return to the launch point if the drone loses connection to the controller or reaches critically low battery level
• 360° propeller guard to protect those nearby, and the drone, in case of a collision
• AeroScope remote identification to help protect sensitive locations
• Geofencing to help drone pilots avoid restricted areas

The Mini also comes with downward visual sensors, which allows it to detect the ground below and enable precise hovering, stable flying, and accurate landing (both outdoors and indoors).
