DJI Mavic Mini for everyday


Meet the long-awaited, all-new DJI Mavic Mini. It’s the smallest and cutest foldable camera quadcopter to date, and it also happens to be feature-packed.

Editor’s Rating: 4.8/5
  • Best feature 1: Small, take-it-anywhere, foldable design
  • Best feature 2: 3-axis stabilized 12MP, 2.7K camera
  • Plus points: Ultra-lightweight, easy to control, feature-packed, long-range, long flight time
  • Minus points: No obstacle avoidance

Why Consider the DJI Mavic Mini?

DJI’s Mavic Mini is for anyone who wants a feature-packed flying camera quad with a small footprint. The Mini—with its light, ultra-compact and foldable design—is set to become the world’s favorite drone. It’s the perfect choice for everyday recreational users at the entry-level. It also offers enough power and versatility to meet the needs of pro-level aerial videographers.
Tests so far have shown superb stabilization from the camera’s 3-axis gimbal. And the 2.7k video and 12MP stills produce stunning results for such a tiny camera quad.

A Traveler’s Dream Camera Quad

The Mini shoots high-quality 2.7K HD video and takes 12MP aerial stills. A 3-axis gimbal and ultra-
smooth flight performance keep the quad stable and its footage smooth. There’s no short flight window
to panic over when recording precious moments, either. That’s thanks to the incredible 30 minutes
flying time on a fully charged battery and an impressive 4km control range.
Safety features include propeller protection, stable hover, and precision flights. The Mini uses 360°
prop guards to shield the blades from damage and fingers from harm. Advanced vision sensors and
GPS make sure this flying camera maintains meticulous movements at all times.

Fly Further, Faster, for Longer

It’s incredible how DJI has managed to pack so much power and performance into such a small unit. The Mini offers a remarkable 30 minutes flying time on a single charge, and a control range up to 4km or 2.5 miles. Also, it can reach speeds up to 29 mph (46.8 km/h) in Sport Mode. These impressive numbers are usually associated with larger, much costlier drones.

Dedicated DJI Mini Remote

There’s a dedicated remote for controlling the Mavic Mini camera quadcopter. It supports all the major iOS and Android smartphones and sizes. You may need to remove protective cases with larger models, though. The drone needs the controller to fly, as there are no options for hand-gestures or phone-only. Pilots also get to view clean HD video on the phone’s screen for its extended range.

The Not So Good

This drone has exceptional hover and precise flying capability, but no obstacle avoidance. There aren’t any other significant negatives to report at this early stage. No quad can offer all things to all people, so we’re sure to see a few minor gripes and dislikes show up over time. Despite that, I doubt any of the Mini’s negatives will turn out to be deal-breakers.

DLP vs LCD vs LCoS Projector: Which Should You Buy?

Projectors can be divided into three distinct categories depending on their image projecting mechanism – DLP, LCD and LCoS projectors.

It can be quite confusing for the buyer to choose a suitable projector out of these three.  It is best to go through each of these technologies and how they function in order to determine the right projector for your specific requirements.

If the projector has a resolution of 1080p (1920×1080 pixels), then the DMD chip will have 1080 rows with 1920 micromirrors in each row which is 2,073,600 mirro...
