I just bought my Mavic mini 2 yesterday. And it is very convenient compact drone. I was so amaze by its quality and its range. I also have Mavic 2 pro but every time im using it im always worried coz of its price if i crash. Haha. In my opinion if you're a vlogger and you want a small convenient but yet quality drone. Go for the mavic 2 mini.

[sahilgupta]

As a complete beginner who tried out both the MA2 the mini 2 before sticking to a purchase, I think the mini 2 is much better suited for beginners. Much more portable (way easier to carry around), cheaper, quieter, and still great quality pictures/videos.

I got the Mini 2 specifically for traveling. I used to lug all my DSLR gear traveling. Then went mirrorless for lightness when traveling. Now I leave my camera gear at home and just bring the Mini 2 and with no registration required for it's size it's free roam in many countries. A couple Rocket and Circle Quick Shots and I'm on to the next attraction. Everyone takes the same photo of Notre-Dame de Paris from ground level but it's breath-taking taking aerial footage! A perspective many don't get to experience.
Thanks for your videos I'm so glad I subscribed because your reviews and tutorials really helped me out!

After few months of trying to decide I went with the Air 2 ...thing is amazing ( it’s replacing a phantom 3 advanced ) Costco online has a great bundle The Air 2 with a spare battery and a 128gig card for 789.99.

[dennisdekoster]

Sold the mini and my mini 2 is coming tomorrow. Thanks to your channel I already know all the tips and tricks 👍🏻

[oldmarty]

Gotta say that mini2 is just PERFECT

Its like a GoPro with wings 😍

[Przemo-c]

I think one of the biggest differences especially when flying urban or leisure places. Mini 2 is significantly more quiet. You don't need to go as high to make it not a centre of attention as you do with Air 2

[Retset]

Mavic Air 2 is the better drone for sure. However, in the UK (and Europe I think), the rules from 2021 onward give massive flexibility for use of sub 250g drone like flying in cities and over a few people. Pretty much anything apart from over crowds. Anything bigger is restricted to open countryside. I sold my 4 year old Mavic Pro and bought a Mini 2 - same camera quality but so much more freedom. If I was doing a lot of landscape photography with a drone, it would be an Air 2 or Pro 2, for sure.

I still use my Mini a lot in all types of shoots and love this drone as its so easy to use. I added lens covers for different contrasts as I shoot a lot over open ocean off boat decks even while moving at 25 mph and never had an issue landing it on by hand and flipping it to turn it this little drone packs a powerful punch of air time and range and versatility and its still a phenomenal tool

I always say buy the best. Simply because later you will want the better drone - the Mavic Air 2. So save up and get it. Flown both and the Mini 2 is too toy-like. Like driving a BMW 325 (Mavic Air 2) and then driving your son's Honda Civic (Mini 2). 😜 In Sports Mode, you can really feel the difference. And I love Sports Mode. Nothing like jamming at 40 mph in the Mavic Air 2. Again, refer back to the car analogy. The extra $400 is way worth it. We currently own two Mavic Air 2 drones. 👊

I have both and I fly every day one or the other depending on the conditions and weather. I take them both with me every where I go, just in case. I fly at lunch time at work. While my wife is shopping, any time I’m bored just like you pull out your cell phone and browse, I just put my phone in the remote and I’m up and flying i can be up in under a minute. Once you get above 200ft no one will notice you and with the 4x zoom that that both have you can people watch all day without creeping people out. It’s good for neighborhood watch and security.

[beezneez]

The main thing stopping me from buying the mini is that it lacks the ‘follow me’ feature. I would also like the extra sensor to prevent crashes. I do prefer it’s smaller size/weight and noise. I wonder if the next mini will have these features

[immortalsun]

Gotta love how you _exactly_ hit that ten-minute mark. (Not dissing – great video! Just kinda funny.)

[richiet]

Bottom line if you can afford And it works out for you where you live it’s all about Mavic air 2 hands-down- end of story. Even if it’s your first drone if you’re OK with what I mentioned earlier don’t waste your time watching too many more reviews-

[sekazi]

I currently have a Mini 2 and I was looking to get an Air 2 but I also am thinking maybe a custom FPV racing one would be more fun.

[arthurtorres]

Just bought the mini 2, totally loving it!

[CarolinvonPetzholdt]

DJI Air 2S Vs. DJI Mini 2? Air 2 definitely. I love flying it for my videos.

[JG-ocgc]

4:50 how come on the bottom of the screen it says smart instead of trace? And the poi is on the left side. What happened to the smart actice track mode?

[jeromep]

I have both, I love the video and pics on both, they're very similar u probably couldn't tell them apart as far as video & pictures are concerned. I will say the mini 2 is awsome for those flying low and extremely close shots, I'd rather crash my mini 2 than the air 2. Definitely less anxious with mini2
