You might find it strange that we do an article on the DJI Mavic Mini drone that came out over two years ago. But it is that in Blog del Fotógrafo we like to talk to you about products that have been widely tested and welcomed by users that you can also access in the second-hand market.
In this way you save money and buy a product that you know has been working for a long time, which is a great guarantee.
DJI MAVIC MINI DRONES
The first thing I would like you to know is that the DJI Mavic Mini model is discontinued, so to find it you have to look for it as I told you about in the introduction to the second-hand market .or a physical store that still has it in stock.
If you are one of those who prefer the latest news or products that are not yet discontinued, you can leave a comment below. If we see that you are interested in the Mini 2 or Mini 3, we will talk about them.
And if this aspect of the novelty does not matter too much to you, keep reading because what I am going to tell you interests you.
FEATURES DJI MAVIC MINI
The first feature of the DJI Mavic Mini is revealed to us by its own name: Mini. And it is that this drone is really compact, it boasts of being very light and portable. And this means that you can fly it where there are people and buildings while with other models it is not possible due to regulations.
But let's see what other features it has that have made it a top seller. Because although it looks like a toy drone, it has features that have nothing to do with it.
