I have the Mavic Mini and my Mini 2 Fly More Combo with 1 year DJI Care Refresh package is chilling under the Christmas tree until Christmas this year! Even though I have the Mavic Mini as soon as I saw the Mini 2 is out, I actually chose to get the Mini 2 instead of the Mavic Air 2 Fly More Combo! I had the money saved up for the Air 2, but chose the Mini 2 over it! I'm just a huge fan of the Mini models.. And now that DJI made this Mini 2 I'm pretty sure no other company will be able to compete with the Mini 2! Sweet Keep well and be safe bro!

I actually brought one. Its my 1st drone. This thing is a beast.
That's really impressive considering it got even darker when you filmed with the Mini 2. Great image quality!
Stunning shot of the bridge! In awe of your skills and the Mini2's capabilities.
Awesome footage. I love the part approaching the pyramid underneath the overpass, then heading up to the viewing deck. Incredible. And the music is great too.
To add to the comment, what a remarkable drone shot you created as you moved up into the observation deck of the building. Truly cinematic. This is what these drones can do for us as cinematographers---they create utterly remarkable video images that can add so much to a documentary or any sort of video story.
Oh my goodness - I am in my 50’s and have been watching all you wonderful creative people having fun with this mini- I will have to get one for the first time- yup a Christmas gift from me to me- It will be awesome for family trips and memories...

I'm 61 and just bought 1. Your video has confirmed I made a good choice.
“Should I fly under the underpass and get a little closer? YEAH!!!” What an absolute ledge.
I'm a new Mini 2 pilot and have been very cautious, probably overly so on letting her fly more than a stones throw. I appreciate your comments on its reliability of signal and now since watching this feel like I can let the Mini 2 reins a bit looser and confidently fly more distant. I also wondered about low light flying and you have answered that question as well. I appreciate all your video's and your jovial approach. Kudo's
Thanks for showing how great it does in low light. I've been waiting for someone to get a video like this. I guess I'll be getting one soon.

Loved this video of my home town. I was there for the 'big dig' Pyramid ground breaking ceremony, and this was an amazing view! I can't wait to do this with mine.
Completely sold on this and can't wait to use for our studio ads etc. Great coverage of this drone. I ordered before I saw this vid and I am sold. great Video. Salute
These really needed to be piloted at the exact same time if you wanted to do a fair comparison. Light levels change drastically at dusk. Fun video all the same.
From the countless videos I've watched over a year, this tipped me to get the mini 2. No regrets!.

Why did you go for the mini two over the mini
For its price, its ultimately the best drone for someone who wants to get an easy to use drone that is also cheap
The video quality is just absolutely beautiful! I'm raising up for the Mini 2. The moment I get $500 I'm buying the Mini 2 and an extra battery. Absolutely amazing drone.
Awesome, Ken thanks for sharing. I just bought the Mini 2 two weeks ago and love it. Third drone for me and by far the best one yet.
If I didn't just buy my Mini 2 yesterday this would have sold me on it. Holy crap that was some amazing flying and shots from you! Great job!

That's the best Memphis has EVER looked. I got the Mini 2 about a week ago. Absolutely blown away by it. Got the Fly More combo, worth every single cent. Got my ND Filters, tablet holder, lights and landing gear too. Absolutely stunning wjat these will do. I live in S. Florida and have flown it at Haulover inlet and Hillsboro Inlet with at least 20-30 mph winds and it doesn't budge the video AT ALL. Smooth as ice. The drone barely moves a half an inch in those winds. And they can get really gusty as well. The video was PERFECT IN the wind. The Mini 2 is absolutely incredible. Your video looks fantastic.

Kind of a no brainier. Aircraft that need to see it won't be flying below you. Although you can place one underneath to help the PIC locate it, the main objective is to make the drone visible to manned aircraft up to 3 statute miles.

Great Video, I just bought a mini 2. Loving it already. Enjoying watching your videos, thanks a lot Ken
So cool when you got that shot of the people up there and it seemed like a spy camera. 🤩 I know the Mini2 has outdone the Mini but it 's still kinda sad handing the Mini to a new owner. I just felt that😫
I'm sorry, folks. Maybe I'm in denial or something, but I can't see the massive improvement you talk about. I have a mini1 for a long time now and I know it has some nightlight limitations, but I saw the same in the mini2... I remind you that the sensor is the same, the aperture as well, only difference is (supposedly) in the processor that handles better the 4k resolution... so... how can it be better unless it is a software tweak? You can improve the video too with a post processing... and it'll get much better than what you got with the mini2. Ok, the ocusync is better for heavy wifi environments, but with some yagis you can overcome that as well, so... I'm sorry, I'm just not that convinced so far... Liked your video comparisons though. Am sorry that you let the mini1 go (no further tests...), but I totally understand there is no point in keeping them both. Take care.

What a great job flying under the bridges. I've not had the guts to do this in a built up area, but flown under bridges on the North Saskatchewan River. Love my Mini 2.
Another gem. I worked in the tip of the pyramid back when restaurant was going in, drones weren’t even on my radar back then though. Epic vid.
As stated, this is a stellar video. I am very surprised in your lack of confidence in the Mavic Mini though. I would be EXTREMELY confident in flying the same path you few in your Mini 2 with my Mavic Mini. I have not had a failure or a glitch yet and it is incredibly reliable. Can you share a bit more about your concerns? Thanks for the beautiful footage! Cheers!
