$400 Mavic Mini Drone; GARBAGE or great??

[Music] amazing hello from sunny at Southern California and welcome back to another tech Tuesday technology review this week we'll be looking at the latest from DJI the Mavic mini first let's have a look at what's in the box [Music] instruction manual three batteries USB charging thing and the drone itself with controller charge I think charging cables an important detail here is this review is of the Mavic mini Wymore combo the five more combo is comes with the extra batteries and like the propeller guards in this cool case extra propellers but it's a hundred bucks more I don't know if you need all that stuff maybe the batteries are worth it I mean I appreciate the gesture DJI but does anybody use propeller guards it's 2019 but this is this is the money right here this is all you need this this is the drone the controller this thing feel how light that is crazy right all right am i drawing back now it's really wild how tiny this thing is this isn't the first small drone but this thing is like it feels it's it's very small ready iPhone Mavic mini it very small it's very small it's tiny it's really super small Justin I'm making a video about the new drone and I'm trying to like explain why 249 grams is a big deal okay so what does it mean as far as the FAA goes as long as you're not commercial what you can't do with so while there are laws that define how and where you can and cannot fly drones and how you should fly them and all that where it gets really grey is when the drones wonder 250 grams and that's why DJI made this one exactly 249 grams this was not an accident they wrote it on the box they even have it written on every single drone right there 249 grams and while this doesn't give you permission to be reckless with your drone it does give you certain freedoms in it absolves you have certain responsibilities that you would have with a drone that's any bigger that's one gram bigger than this now for the flight test portion of this review I'm going to be comparing I'm gonna be comparing the Mavic meanie to my favourite drone currently on the market dollar for dollar what I feel is the absolute best drone you can buy which is the Mavic pro 2 you can use this for professional use and it does the trick this thing is absolutely amazing I also use it with the pro controller this this is the best but this combination this controller in this drone come in at a whopping two thousand one hundred and ninety dollars or something like that and I'm gonna be comparing its quality and capabilities to this which is three hundred and ninety nine dollars and eighteen hundred dollar price difference let's see how it does [Music] [Music] okay but you guys ever seen a broom this fall that's right [Music] sighs poor man so small this Wilson give it back give it back I mean there is a definite difference between the video quality of the like $2,200 drone versus the $400 mini drone but if you're using these things for like YouTube or you're using them for family videos or anything like that I don't think you need that pro quality the video on it isn't just good enough it's it's I think it's very good and when you combine that very good with that insane price point I mean it seems like a big winner the only question I have is how does this drone not cannibalize all the other more expensive drones that DJI sells and maybe a bigger question how is any other drone manufacturer how is any other drone manufacturer supposed to compete with DJI when they can make something that small that easy to fly with that kind of quality for 399 bucks almost really did almost fall off my my bike there [Music] you [Music] my [Music] Oh [Music] when I see you [Applause] [Music]

Does anyone know if it is compatible with Spark Controler and/or batteries? I got the Spark Fly more combo last December and was wondering...

He was more jittery than normal... Has he developed a classic Hollywood coke habbit?
