Do people actually use their drones after the first 3 days of ownership?
I’m very tempted, but pretty sure this will become a dust collector.
What use-case do people have?
Why waste the money if you can't find a use of it?
Too late :)
Me too lol
I have a hiking YouTube channel and use mine all the time.
I would say if you're not a hobbyist photographer or videographer, don't buy one
FYI world square store has stock, bought 1 today and picked it up on the same night
For those that are deciding between Mini 1 and 2 here is my experience.
I've had the Mavic Mini for about a year as I travel a lot and shoot videos for youtube, at least until COVID hit. Really convenient how portable it is and the picture quality is pretty damn good for what I need it for, as I don't give a damn about 4K I think it's still a gimmick. Sure it lacks obstacle avoidance but if you fly carefully it's not a problem, and usually I fly high in big open areas anyway. For tracking I thought about how often I'm really going to have a drone track me (or something else) around and it really wasn't that big of a deal. I used the Mini a lot and never had I once thought "oh man I wish I had tracking for this specific shot". Only thing I could think of is if you're in a car or motorbike and you wanna have it follow you around, cool shot but too much effort…
The only thing that really let me down about Mini is the range. Enhanced wifi sucks. In urban areas you'd be lucky to get over 500m and in rural areas (I took this to islands in the Philippines for e.g.) I thought I could get something closer to the advertised 2km, but generally you're going to lose signal in the 800-1km range. Now usually that's enough to get your shot, but sometimes it wasn't and it was quite frustrating having it turn back everytime. The RTH feature works very well though, had it lose signal countless times and always returned to me. Wind resistance is also not great, but that's honestly expected for such a tiny drone.
So for me the big improvement is Occusync 2.0, at least I hope so! For me that alone is worth it. When the Mini 2 got leaked a week ago I quickly sold my Mini 1 for $520 knowing resale value would tank after Mini 2 releases. Picked up Mini 2 off this deal tonight :) I'm also one of the lucky few who gets to go overseas this month so will get plenty of use out of it!
Oh so mini series doesnt have tracking feature? I think it's cool, we can bushwalk and set the drone to follow us from behind for example….
Ok later please share your comparison mini 1 vs 2
This would end in disaster as Mini also do not have obstacle avoidance. it is indeed a cool feature, but not something I'd bother paying an extra $1k for the next model up
true…. tracking must come with avoid feature…..
You might have had a faulty unit, Ive seen it do way over 500m. For reference this nutter pushed well beyond advertised range to 5.5km

Biggest concern is the weaker motors in the wind. Mini 2's are marginally better but still a concern.
Maybe he got the CE version though
Not if he bought it locally, even the CE could go 2-3km without much trouble.
One thing to note though on my Wifi quads I often use signal reflectors (costs roughly ~$10) as I find they dont really increase the actual range but rather consistency of the signal which may help somewhat.
Used my $500 voucher from the Telstra mobile plan last week. $350 on Suncorp 5%. Total price out of pocket $333.50!
FYI you can purchase gift cards from Suncorp in exact cent amounts ie. $344.61
Ordered one, but there is no stock in SA and the estimated delivery time is in Dec.
Perth, C&C worked like a treat, picked up yesterday. Overheard staff saying if they could hand it over as it could still be under embargo, but handed it over in the end. Stacked with 5% off GCs too.
Are you guys youtubers or pro video producers? How often do you use a drone these days? Don't get me wrong, I love FPV drones like the next guy (racing was fun for a while) but the novelty of this one would be gone in a couple of days then put it on gum tree?
no you can use it to check your rooftop for leaking for example. or some trees with birdnest on it every day to see how the baby birds growing up. or racing with friends that has other drones and make some money from betting who is faster, then after gain some experience, go out to other suburb to challenge others…. and make more money
@chimot, Rooftop stuff I agree with. 249g is pretty sneaky weight also. :)
I did once enjoy Whoop races (indoor).
yeah, just think of how much you need to pay to get someone to go up there, probably in 5 trips the drones pays itself! labour cost is so expensive in australia, hey
probably the key is having friends with similar hobbies.
applies to anything really.
if you are the only one in the circle who own drone then maybe get bored after a month
Mainly photography and usually take it when I travel, so it's going to be good to have a drone 1/3 the weight of my old one now.
Also, did a roof check a few months ago :)
so just to clear up if i stand in the middle of opera house courtyard cbd and toss this up, police will arrest me ?
Don't they just fine you?
sorry yeah so, i will get fine? damn….. but its tourist place, the most logical place to use drones.. why not ban camera then….
Most cameras don't have the ability to fly into someone's head with fast spinning blades?
You should definitely try it! Also try the bridge as well. Make sure you fly 30m or closer to people also.
Anyone chose delivery? How long does it take to "Processing Order"?
Hope the deal gets better with Black Friday or Boxing day
Looking to buy this with the him/her 15% discount gift cards… Jb shows they aren't expecting delivery before December 31.
Anyone have any idea if jb is cautious on these things and likely to get it sooner?

Definitely go mini 2.
4K and Occ Sync alone makes it worth it.
