What was your drone before the Mini 2?

[L_THomas]

I just recently bought the DJI Mini 2 despire owning the Mavic Pro and the Mavic Air 2 (my latest purchase before the Mini 2, actually). I also HAD the Autel Evo 2 which I have already returned (different story). Anyway, what was the last drone that you bought before the Mini 2 and do you consider it as an upgrade or just an alternative UAV?

Yuneec Typhoon H 480 Hexacopter. Bought as an alternative with far better flighttime, spare availabilty and portability. Much easier to upgrade! DJI is also represented in Sweden which is very important as I work as photographer.

We've been using a Phantom 4 Pro Plus - and still are. It's a great drone. We added the Mini 2 because of it's extremely small size and weight, combined with exemptions from many of the regulations, worldwide. We only fly/film/shoot for work.

The Mini 2 is certainly not an upgrade to the P4P+, but it is still just above the line of "acceptable" in terms of its camera output. And it's just as easy to fly as the P4P+. The Mini 2 is a great tool, once you know how to get the best out of it.

P4P as well

Mini 1

Mavic Pro. I am liking the weight of the Mini2 as I will be carrying it with me hiking.

Phantom3S -> Air1 -> Mini2, my downgrade path
P3S-> Air1, because of its size and weight
Air1 -> Mini2, because of its weight, battery life, noise, Ocusyn2

 

[jinks02]

Phantom 1 FC40 > Phantom 3 Pro > Mavic Air 1 > Mavic Mini 1 > Mini 2
Currently still own the Air 1, Mini 1 & Mini 2

I had the Turd Hubsan Zino 2 Plus that I got for Christmas. After that fiasco I will never own anything but DJI.

 

[adam3112]

Mavic Pro. Sold it and got the Mini 2.

I had a parrot bebop 2. Mini 2 is definitely an upgrade however the bebop 2 was a great drone and had an excellent flight plan app.

Bought a Mavic Mini 1 a few months before my wife surprised me with a Mini 2 for Christmas. Now I'm trying to find a home for the Mini 1.

Since the mini two is a freebie it might be worth keeping the MM as a backup.

First is a toy, then phantom 3 standard, next 4, next Mavic pro, Mavic pro platinium, then Mavic air, mavic 2 zoom, Mavic mini 1, and Mavic air 2, and tadam,,, mini 2

 

[hchen]

Mini 2 is my first drone.

 

[Donb1]

Mavic Air for 3 years.

 

[eckydrone200]

2 Mavic Air 1s for me. Really looking forward to trying the Mini 2 out as soon as the weather calms down and dries up.

 

[Ronny St.]

Had a Mini 1 for about 9 months and just sold it. Now I have the Mini 2 . Also waiting for better fly weather to try it out.

F450 (I already have it) - P3P - Mavic Pro - Mini 2

Portability IMHO is the most interesting aspect of Mini 2, without losing many important features of larger drones.

For the Italian rules (now adapted to the European ones) the possibility of flying in the city without problems and without a license is certainly a significant added value.

First a Mavic Pro, then a Mavic Air. My main criteria being that the drone is small and can be carried anywhere. And now that the Mini 2 has mostly the same features like the Air, it was a no brainer.
