DJI / DRONE PROFILE
DJI Mavic Mini
Explore the available technical information for this aircraft, including camera capabilities, flight performance and manufacturer-specific specifications.
The DJI Mavic Mini is an early lightweight folding camera drone built around a 249 g takeoff weight. It was designed to make aerial photography more portable while retaining a 3-axis mechanical gimbal and GPS-assisted flight. This model is now a legacy product, so buyers should assess battery condition, controller compatibility and repair support before purchasing a used unit.
Key specifications
- Takeoff weight: 249 g (standard configuration)
- Maximum flight time: 30 minutes in DJI’s stated no-wind test
- Camera: 1/2.3-inch CMOS, 12 MP
- Maximum video: 2.7K at 24/25/30 fps; Full HD up to 60 fps
- Gimbal: 3-axis mechanical stabilisation
- Maximum speed: 13 m/s in S mode, near sea level and without wind
- Satellite systems: GPS and GLONASS
- Maximum wind resistance: 8 m/s (Level 4)
Camera and stabilisation
The Mavic Mini’s 12 MP camera uses a 1/2.3-inch sensor and records up to 2.7K video. Its 3-axis gimbal is an important advantage over very small drones that rely only on electronic stabilisation. It is suitable for daylight photos and simple travel footage, but it lacks 4K recording, RAW photo capture and the advanced tracking features found on newer models.
Flight and safety
DJI’s 30-minute maximum flight-time figure comes from a controlled test at a steady speed in windless conditions. Actual flight time will be lower and depends on wind, temperature, battery age and flying style. The aircraft has downward vision positioning for hovering in suitable conditions, but it does not have forward or omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. Pilots must keep the flight path clear and use Return-to-Home with a suitable altitude set.
Used-buying advice
Before buying, inspect the battery for swelling or damage, check that all motors start smoothly, test the gimbal and camera, verify GPS lock, and confirm that the remote controller and DJI Fly app work with your phone. Check the exact battery version and regional model because specifications and radio rules can vary. A low purchase price may not be attractive if replacement batteries or repairs are difficult to obtain.
Who should consider it?
The Mavic Mini may suit a beginner who wants an inexpensive used drone for basic daylight photography, or an existing owner who needs a compatible replacement. Buyers who need 4K video, obstacle avoidance, longer practical flight sessions or current manufacturer support should compare newer Mini-series models instead.
This overview is based on DJI’s published documentation, not an independent flight test. Flight performance and regulatory requirements vary by region and operating conditions.
