It’s been rumored for months, and now DJI has unveiled the DJI Mavic Mini, a super-lightweight,palm-sized, foldable drone. The company says the Mini is “portable, easy to fly, designed for safety and perfect for everyone who wants to experience the fun of flying”. It’s also affordable, at £369/$399.
DJI has a dominant position in the prosumer drone market, but has come under increasing threat from regulation in key markets like the UK, USA and China, all of which require registration of drones over 250g.
The Mavic Mini comes in at just under that crucial limit, making it much easier to buy and enjoy, or to give as a gift. Indeed DJI seems to be attempting to corner this relatively new area of the market, coining the term ‘FlyCam’ for its new compact drone.
DJI has certainly risen to the challenge of hitting that weight requirement whilst packing in features, with the Mavic Mini sporting a 12MP camera, and the ability to capture video at up to 2.7k (topping out at 30fps) or 1080p at 60fps – that’s not quite the 4K that other Mavics can manage, but those are weightier drones capable of holding the onboard processing and heat-management systems needed.
