Mavic Mini vs Mavic Air 2

[PaulNH]

I do own the Mini, Mavic Pro, Mavic Air 2, Phantom 3 Std, Phantom 4 Pro..... I think it's an addiction. Hahadha (Just an old hobbyist having fun). I bought the Mini for hiking. Light weight, quick set up and capture some great photos, however the truth is that I seldom get to fly it on my hikes because of the winds. The Mavic Air 2 is perfect for my needs. Handles great in the high winds and takes great photos. I captured this one, over my house the other night when the sky exploded in red hues at sunset. Using the Mavic Air 2 Pano Mode

How much heavier and bulkier is the MA2 for taking on a hike?

Not much heavier or bulkier really.....
I have also found the MA2 seems to be quieter but need to get them side by side in the air

I've owned my MM for a little while now and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I have however been looking at the Mavic Air 2 and I'm wondering just how big an upgrade it is from the MM. Is it really worth twice the money? What's your opinion?

I am a new mini owner. ..2 months ...ordered MA2 will receive in 5 days and I will report back

Very good. Looking forward to it.

I’ve just added a MA2 to my Mini

The main reasons were

Occusync 2
RAW images
Better wind resistance
4k at 60fps
Better image sensor
Better Dynamic Range
Better controller
Timelapse
Pano mode with 48mp images
More Quickshot options

The Mini is a great little drone and an amazing package that you can get excellent results with so I’ll be keeping mine for travel

I moved from the Spark to the Mini, and now I want the Air 2! Range with OccuSync, sensors, ActiveTrack, battery life, stability in higher winds, HDR, and 4K 60fps are enough to justify the extra cost!

That’s exactly what I’m doing.
