Despite being someone who tends to go for the better specs when buying, I purchased the Mini 2 based on your review. Although active track might be good in some cases, the Mini 2 will do quickshots maintaining a set point in focus and frame. If you walk slowly and set enough distance you can get a simulated live track effect(works great in circling). Personally if I had the Air 2 I wouldn't be walking on a forested path relying on tracking with $1000 a few feet away from a collision with a tree branch.

The deciding factor for me was FAA's Remote ID that appears to be coming online in Dec 2020. I don't know what the grace period will be, but it does not include drones under 250 grams, so it is not as much of an issue. I do have my Part 107, and once the dust settles and we know where the hobbyist pilot stands, I will decide from there. For now, at least I have a decent and capable drone that does not have the restrictions other drones will.

Easy to carry too which is significant if you are hiking the full 3000+ feet. Here in UK it is small enough not to need a licence and pass an online test. I like the extra built-in avoidance plus tracking so I may go for the Air 2. I use a DJI Pocket 2 so I am aware of the quality images and clips DJI offers. I think any ND filters etc will be compatible between the Pocket2 and the Air 2 but if anyone knows different I would be glad to know. ATB from Scotland.

Great video. I have mavic air 2 and was thinking of a secondary drone under 249g so thinking of mini 2. Your video has helped me decide on adding a mini 2. By the way, notice you hand launch all the time and hand catch rather than using landing pads. Is hand launch and catch a good skill to learn and how easy is it to do properly?

I personally went with the mini 2 since I own the Mavic 2 pro already I enjoy the mini because its easier to get out and launch quick compared to the pro that and less weight in my bag also ill use the mini for my run and gun stuff and the pro 2 for the time-lapse and more pro look. Great video man seems like both drones are good but I'm sitting in the right spot for the 2 I have.

Agreed! Thats where I have settled too. The mini 2 is such a great portable drone while the M2P really has great quality in a small package. I do look forward to seeing what the Mavic 3 Pro brings!

If you already own the Mavic 2 Pro then I would get the mini 2 as an alternative. The air 2 is great but most of what it does your Mavic 2 Pro can already do. The portability of the Mini 2 really makes it nice! Cheers

Thank you for the great content! I'm thinking about which one to buy now. I know I LOVE the size and weight of the Mini 2, as well as its ability to be recharged using power banks. But as I will use the drone by far more for photo than for video, so the fact that the Mini 2 will give only 12mp photos leaves me in the very tough position to make a decision.

Hi Jake. I love all of your videos. You taught me so much about the original Mavic mini. That was a year ago. I've now bought the new mini 2. But I can't get my drone to connect to the controller. One strange thing is. Even though it says the aircraft is not connected. I can make the gimbal pan up and down. I get no camera view. Or the rotation of the props. How can that be? Thanks Dave in the UK. Aged 70.

I’ve had that happen once and basically I had to wait until it automatically went to the drone flight screen. If yours still doesn’t work properly then maybe try and rebind it? You bind the drone by turning it on and after it had booted up push hold the power button until it beeps then follow the connect aircraft prompts in the app on the controller.
