Design and development

Mavic Mini and Mini SE

DJI announced the Mavic Mini on October 30, 2019 as a replacement for the now discontinued DJI Spark and positioning it as a beginner camera drone.[1][2] Its camera is on a three-axis gimbal and features a 12 MP sensor capable of 2.7K video at 30 FPS.[3] The Mavic Mini shares similar design characteristics with the Mavic Pro and Mavic 2 series, though notable for its portability and overall small size.[4] DJI's marketing behind the Mavic Mini focuses on the weight of the drone at 249 grams (8.8 oz), allowing it to bypass drone registration regulations in several Western countries like the United States,[5] Canada[6] and the United Kingdom.[7] In Japan, a model was released with a smaller battery weighing 50 grams (1.8 oz) less, to come in under Japan's similar 200 grams (7.1 oz) limit.[8] It has a range of 4 km as it uses Enhanced Wifi. Installed camera identifies in Exif as FC7203.

DJI Mini SE, was released mid-2021, it is basically the original DJI Mini build in DJI Mini 2 shell. It has 30 minutes flight time, 12 MP still camera, 2.7K video, and a 4 km transmission range as it uses Enhanced Wifi like the DJI Mavic Mini. Its main purpose was to be a successor for the old Dji Mini as the cheapest drone option.[9]

Mini 2, Mini 2 SE and Mini 4K

[edit]

DJI Mini 2, released November 2020,[10] improves upon the Mavic Mini with longer flight time (31 minutes) and the ability to record 4K footage. Weighing in at 249 g, the Mini 2 can withstand level 5 winds. It has 5 quickshot modes, 3 panorama modes, HD, 2.7k and 4k video. It also has the ability to take raw 12 MP photos. The DJI Mini 2 also uses Ocusync 2.0 giving it a max transmission range of 10 km.

DJI released the Mini 2 SE on February 9, 2023. It is very similar to the Mini 2, however it has a downgraded 2.7K camera with 40 MB Bitrate.[11]

DJI released the Mini 4K on April 29, 2024. It is very similar to the Mini 2 SE, however it has a upgraded 4K camera with 100 MB Bitrate.[12]

Mini 3 Pro and Mini 3

[edit]
DJI Mini 3 Pro

The DJI Mini 3 Pro,[13][14] was made available on May 10, 2022 with Ocusync 3.0, a 48 MP camera, obstacle avoidance sensors and a brand new DJI RC.[15]

On December 9, 2022, DJI released the Mini 3 which was a cheaper version of the Mini 3 Pro.[16] The main differences were the removal of the obstacle avoidance sensors and limited intelligent camera modes. On the controller side, the DJI Mini 3 is compatible with the DJI RC although the drone uses the Ocusync 2.0 instead of O3 used in the DJI Mini 3 Pro and downgrades the video transmission range and resolution from 1080p to 720p.[17]

Mini 4 Pro

[edit]

The Mini 4 Pro was released on September 25, 2023. The Mini 4 Pro introduced upgrades in key areas while remaining under 250 g, with 4K/60 fps HDR video, a flight time of 34 or 45 minutes, and a revamped DJI O4 FHD digital video transmission system transmitting clear footage up to 20 km away. While the Mini 3 offered a budget-friendly option by omitting obstacle avoidance sensors and certain intelligent flight modes, the Mini 4 Pro has retained these features.
