Once I started hand launching and landing I never went back. Took me a bit before I even tried it but now I never use the pad.

MM was my first drone and I got the MA2 6 weeks later. I pack the MM when I’m on my bike as well as hiking, I do find the difference in size to be significant depending on what I’m packing of course. I’m also less stressed about damaging the MM. I hear what others are saying about the lack of...

I ended up getting a MA2 about 6 weeks after the MM. Gets windy where I live and I wanted a little better camera. I think I’m good now and will use these 2 for a while...

Welcome to the forum, from a fellow MA2 owner out in the Fraser Valley.

Welcome! New to drones since June myself, quite the addicting hobby. This forum has a ton of info and knowledgeable people. I haven’t had to ask a question yet, found everything through searches of existing threads. Enjoy the zoom!

I’m another person that was in the same boat as a few here. I got the MA2 because of the MM wind limits and I also wanted an upgrade in camera. Almost went M2P for the better camera and capabilities but couldn’t justify the extra $ at this time. I’m glad I added the MA2 as there’s already been...

I have both as well. Bought the MA2 6 weeks after the MM getting me hooked on this hobby. I’m keeping the mini for hiking and mountain biking. The size/ weight difference isn’t massive obviously but on the long trips it’s going to be a bit easier. However, I will say that if you haven’t even...

I bet that has happened to a lot of us! Good strategy on the part of DJI. Did you keep the mini? I just don’t see how I could get enough for it to make it worth selling, plus as I said I like the idea of keeping the small/ cheaper one around for certain activities.

After owning the mini for approx 6 weeks (first drone) I’ve already broken my “wait a year to upgrade” rule. Been obsessively watching YouTube reviews and gave in today. Can’t wait to fly it! I figure I will keep the mini for hikes and travel. Happy to be part of this group!

I am pretty much in the same position as you. I’ve had the mini 5 weeks and, while I love it, I’ve been fantasizing about the next drone. And just like yourself, I’m gonna try to not move up until about the year mark. Based on my research, at this point I would buy the MA2 but if money wasn’t...

Thanks Vic. It’s funny the timing of your reply in this thread. I’ve been watching so many YouTube drone videos the past month since I got hooked on this and I just recently started watching your videos. Great stuff!

I’ve had that issue with small birds a few times as well. A couple times I’ve had to bring the mini down just to be careful as the birds were getting too close.

Only 36 flights in (started June 16) and the only issue I’ve had is the stuck gimbal warning multiple times. I’ve been impressed with it so far.

14 miles, 6.6 hours, 35 flights in 3 weeks

Some good points made in this thread. I agree the 2 main differences are stability in wind and camera quality (from what one can gather through YouTube). I’ve only had a mini for 2 weeks, and I’ve had moments that I wished I’d gone for the MA 2. It’s obviously natural for a lot of people to...
