DJI Mini 2: Is This Portable Drone the Perfect Travel Companion?

[Music] mavic mini 2 the drone of the year 2020 at least if the drone can live up to the superior specs that manufacturer dji announced a miniature drone with a high resolution fully stabilized 4k camera and its range is supposed to dethrone even most professional drones and of course it's supposed to record super high resolution photos as well and as if that's not enough it's supposed to be light enough to avoid registration in most countries is that at all possible and if so where did manufacturer dji compromise hey guys what's up it's me again tom from ptt tom's tech time the show with the three fastest tees in the world now let's take a closer look all together at the brand new mavic mini 2 from manufacturer dji don't forget to leave a thumbs up and of course don't forget to subscribe because if you don't then you're going to miss out on so much cool upcoming tech content and you can't blame it on me anymore i want you don't forget to hit the subscribe and the bell button right here and right now let's get this party going product link can by the way also be found in the description below in case you want to check out the current pricing of the brand new mavic mini 2 or you want to purchase it or you don't click on the product link without further ado let's jump right into the video and [Music] boom [Music] manufacturer dji upgrades its smallest drone massively though you cannot really see the changes right away visually the new mavic mini 2 looks pretty much like its predecessor only smaller details differ but not only the looks stayed the same also the weight did not change luckily if the drone had gained weight it would have passed the magical 250 grams border drones that weigh more than 250 grams have to be registered in most places it's time consuming and annoying that is why one of the central purchasing arguments of the mavic mini 2 is its low weight of only 249 grams the build quality does not set new standards but it is high for such a miniature drone model nothing feels loose or too fragile all visible cables are well protected against natural wear the ventilation openings prevent dirt and moisture from entering the drone's body so far i could not find any significant weaknesses the first disadvantage that comes to mind is the material dji chose to build the shell because of the weight issue they could not pick aluminum or carbon fiber instead they used regular plastic still the drone can take some bumps though its sturdiness cannot be compared to its bigger and tougher but also much pricier brothers let's talk upgrades which new features and functions are aboard the brand new mavic mini 2. i remember this moment when dji the manufacturer when they sent in like a list with the specs and i looked at it and i was like you guys got to be kidding me that's not for real you guys are trying to fool me you cannot pack the technology the flight technology the camera technology of like an advanced sounding drone into a toy sized drone model it's impossible well hey they did it the major highlight of the mavic mini 2 is its camera big news are waiting simply one word 4k the super small and lightweight mavic mini 2 is the first drone in its class to offer fully stabilized 4k recordings i mean that's crazy i just can't find any words to describe this better it is absolutely stunning to have a high-res 4k camera built into this miniature drone model you get the maximum video quality from a miniature drone the 100 ambit per second slightly wide angled videos have an overall crisp and sharp look even in the corners the recordings show only a minimal amount of distortion you can easily enhance the video's look by adding a tiny bit of digital sharpness on the computer from such a small drone you cannot possibly expect more the new 4k video feature is a fantastic upgrade it puts the mavic mini series into another league than all its miniature competitors available on the market of course the mavic mini 2's camera can not be compared to one of the more professional cameras that manufacturer dji also offers but it is the best miniature camera i have seen so far what's missing though is picture styles and also you don't have a lot of possibilities to manually set up the camera right now i am uploading original photo and video files recorded with the mavic mini 2. you should download these for free right now from my website toms techtime.com mavic mini 2 that way you can really check out the video and photo quality of this brand new drone yourself you can determine whether you like the look whether the recordings are crisp and clean enough or not maybe you can even start to color grade them whatever you want to do all these files are unedited uncut ungraded uncompressed tomstacktime.com mavic mini 2. [Music] the mavic mini 2 can also take beautiful photos they're crisp and clean and have a decent resolution you can record single images or take high resolution panoramas or you can use the self timer the biggest news is that you can now record raw photographs with the tiny mavic mini 2. that's great news for all the ambitious photographers out there who want to properly edit their files [Music] but there's another major highlight the controller and the transmission system yeah the rc is rather big but it is slightly clunky for a reason the mavic mini 2 got an upgrade that must be mentioned it has a maximum transmission range of up to 10 kilometers that equals more than 6 miles i'm not sure if the mavic mini 2 can really fly out that far because it's simply forbidden to fly out of sight but what i can say is this you can fly out far and the signal is incredibly reliable there is no consumer drone on the market with a stronger transmission system the mavic mini 2's transmission system even beats most professional drones also the design of the new remote control is convincing okay a small flight telemetry display is missing but everything else is well thought through all buttons are in the right places the extendable antennas also function as a smartphone clamp below it dji hides the cables to connect the remote to the smartphone that way you will never forget or lose the cable anymore [Music] with an average flight time of approximately 26 minutes the mavic mini 2 does a good job but like all other drones it stays below the half an hour mark of course except on the box a few extra minutes of flight to reach a full half an hour would have been a really nice upgrade [Music] if you order the multiple charger together with the drone then you can charge your batteries via a power bank outdoors that is a nice way to get through a full day of flying and filming easily i love being able to recharge my batteries on the go though the mavic mini 2 is a super lightweight drone its safety components are best in class it features a gps glonass and galileo satellite module that allows the drone to safely travel back to the home point in case of a connection loss or other problem battery level is low the aircraft will go to the home point in 10 seconds also the battery sends a warning once it reaches a certain level way cooler though is that it also alerts you once it detects that the drone has to return to the home point because of the distance that is an incredibly helpful safety tool the safety features of the mavic mini 2 are far beyond most other in-class drones the flight characteristics of the drone are pretty outstanding keeping in mind its miniature size operating the drone is intuitive and straightforward and doesn't require a lot of training literally everyone can fly the drone with ease whether a pro or an absolute beginner it's all muffling clouds today fling okay understood bam [Music] thanks to the bottom sensors the drone can nicely keep its position and doesn't drift off it hovers safely instead so safely that one could actually put aside the remote control and simply take a nap the drone wouldn't fly away it would hover in place and then autoland once the battery level turns low also the mavic mini 2 can handle higher wind speeds [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] surprisingly well can you see that the mavic mini 2 starts to shake noticeably but don't worry that is a good thing it leans into the wind and it doesn't travel away and it holds its position nicely the mavic mini 2 is not one of these typical toy drones that you unwrap and then fly it straight into a wall no it is really not one of these drones instead it might even be the ideal drone for beginners it is super user friendly everyone can operate and safely fly the drone that's because the drone is packed with safety features and safety functions don't worry crashing this drone is more complicated than not a board are plenty of modes that help put you or a subject of your choice into the limelight you neither have to control the flight nor the camera the short clips that the drone creates automatically make for some excellent social media posts but all modes the mavic mini 2 has a board are also pre-installed to plenty of other dji drones already the mavic mini 2 definitely surprised me the most in 2020 okay except corona bacona has nothing to do at all with drones and that was a very bad surprise while the mavic mini 2 definitely is an amazing surprise dji the manufacturer made it to put highly advanced technology into a toy-sized drone 4k 64 megapixels 10 kilometers just to name a few of the highlights so amazing so if you've ever played with the thought of investing into a drone but you haven't yet maybe because you were scared of flying it into the wall or maybe because you couldn't afford one of these professional drones then now is the moment to get yourself a mavic mini 2 really highly
