I had a Spark and it flew away and I swore I would never own a drone again. But, there are just some shots that are way too cool shot with a drone…especially for adventure travel photography. I think this Mini hits all the marks for the occasional shot. Not exactly 238g—from DJI’s website it says “1. The standard weight of the aircraft is 242 grams.”
Of course, all these new features make it easy to break some of the rules. Before we dive into the apps, allow us to remind you some of the best practices and rules, at least in the United States. The app can be downloaded on iOS and Android, and they are compatible with the more recent drone models released by the company. dji drones App now only supports iOS 11 devices, if your iPhone or iPad can’t update, you can download the iOS 10 version here.
We’re rating it a bit lower than the Air 2, but if you’re just getting started, and don’t want to spend closer to $1,000 on a drone and accessories, the Mini 2 is absolutely worth considering.

The DJI Mini 2 drops some of the more enthusiast-targeted video and imaging options offered by the $800 DJI Mavic Air 2—you don’t get a 48MP Quad Bayer camera, obstacle sensors, or other upmarket features. Instead, DJI has taken the original Mavic Mini and addressed a couple of very real-world concerns. The Mini 2’s more forceful motors, and its much better wireless system work together to ensure that the drone will respond to commands if it’s strayed a bit far from home base, even on breezy days.
However, DJI has delivered its promised firmware update a month early, which arrives alongside an update dji mini 2 fly more combo app. As the screenshot below shows, the Mavic 3 now supports FocusTrack, HyperLapse and MasterShots, among other changes. Also, make sure to double-check which app you need before downloading, as not all the apps are compatible with all the drones! I just bought an ONN Tablet 8″ Gen 2 from Walmart for $70. I had to download the Fly app from DJI’s site as it’s not in the play store, but I just did my first test flight with my Mavic Air 2, and everything worked well! I just need to get the tablet adapter for the remote now.
