I do not own a Mini 2, but I have the Air 2. One consideration between them is the Live View feed which is what your device displays from the camera. The Mini 2 is 720p while the Air 2 is HD at 1080p. For me, as one who enjoys the flight experience with a larger tablet, this higher resolution makes a big difference. Food for thought...If you have both, which gets more air time and why? Thanks, this will help me make my decision.
This is a great hobby. The problem is that you will have the desire to get every new drone that DJI offers. The technology of these drones makes it a lot of fun for this 69 year old retiree. I have the Mavic Mini and the Mavic Air 2. Both are great drones, but the Air 2 is more fun to fly due to its increase capabilities. With the Mavic Mini or Mini 2, you have to be more aware of the wind. The temptation is there for me to get the Mini 2....ha. Living in the North, it is difficult to get much flying time during the winter months to fly the 7 DJI Drones in this enjoyable hobby. Even got the Part 107 just for the fun of it. It all started about 3-4 years ago with the purchase of the Phantom 4. That purchase led to the Spark, Mavic Pro, Mavic Air, Mavic Pro 2, Mavic Air 2 and the Mavic Mini. Have fun making your decision and enjoy your hobby.If you have both, which gets more air time and why? Thanks, this will help me make my decision.
Thanks for asking this question. I hope it’s OK to add another to your thread -If you have both, which gets more air time and why? Thanks, this will help me make my decision. I just sold my MM which served me well but it’s time to move up.
The standard cases for the two drones don't vary by enough to make a difference. However my aftermarket Mini 2 case is approximately 3in x 7in x 9in which makes it ridiculously portable for putting in a backpack.Debz
Thanks for asking this question. I hope it’s OK to add another to your thread -
I’d like to know how the sizes of the standard cases compare (the simple shoulder case that holds the drone, controller and several spare batteries)? I currently have an MA2 and find that case convenient for taking in a backpack for a day hike, but large for an overnight bikepack trip. I’m considering adding a Mini 2 for those longer trips for a couple of reasons - smaller size, lighter weight, quieter flights, ease of USB based charging, etc. But the primary consideration is overall size. Thanks for any thoughts.

Props.what is the component covering the mid section of the drone’s bottom in your image
That is just the prop cover that comes with the Mini 2..... Mini 1 had bent prop issues so DJI changed to better props and started supplying this cover.Saladshooter:
Thanks! That aftermarket case looks ideal. I haven’t seen a Mini 2 in real life - what is the component covering the mid section of the drone’s bottom in your image (w/ green scribble in copy of your image below)?

Hey Ramboat, out of your 7 DJI drones, which one gets the most air time? Thanks.This is a great hobby. The problem is that you will have the desire to get every new drone that DJI offers.

Dbez1, that is a good question. I really try and fly all 7 as regular as possible just to keep the parts moving and work the batteries. Living on the shore of a Great Lake, I can do most of my flying at home over the lake. To answer your question, if I want great photos, I use the Mavic 2 Pro (my favorite of the 7), then the Mavic Air 2, followed by the Mavic Pro; Mavic Air; Phantom 4; Mavic Mini; Spark. They are all great drones. I have the most confidence in the Mavic Pro 2 and Mavic Air 2 and probably fly these two more often. Have not crashed or lost any of the 7. They all are tons of fun. The Mini and Spark both take great photos/videos. Use these for flying short distances due to the wind on the lake. You will enjoy the fun of the drone no matter what you fly. (10 degrees now...wont be flying today...ha)Hey Ramboat, out of your 7 DJI drones, which one gets the most air time? Thanks.
