Best Buy is my one-stop shopping choice for tech, music, appliances, gaming, movies and … drones. Yes, drones! That’s why we’re happy to partner with Best Buy to let you know about the DJI Global Mavic Mini. This is one amazing little flying machine!
For several years I’ve wondered about the incredible arial photos and videos I’ve been seeing on social media. I couldn’t help wondering if they were taken from a helicopter wondered how much that might be costing. I now know most of the awesome photos and videos are made with drones. And now I’m ready to jump on board the drone wagon and up my game in the video and photography department! The DJI Global Mavic Mini Drone is now at the top of my Christmas list.
First and foremost I believe in full disclosure. I haven’t always been a fan of drones. I’ve read stories of drones possibly causing interference with firefighters fighting fires, flying in the airspace of departing/landing airliners, and people getting injured from the propellers on the drones. However it hasn’t been the drones doing those things. It’s the people operating them. That’s one of the reasons I’m so impressed with the DJI Global Mavic Mini Drone. Buyers are advised right up front to check the FAA website for registration requirements, as well as information about flying a drone safely. There may be additional state or local requirements to be aware of. DJI advises buyers to check with their local jurisdiction and to make informed decisions about flying by recommending other websites on model aircraft flying. I love that DJI is responsible and wants their product owners to be exercise responsibility, too.
Here’s what so awesome about the Global Mavic Mini:
- It weighs in at 249 grams (about as much as a pet hamster), and isn’t much bigger than my iPhone11 Pro Max.
- It has a high capacity battery for flying faster, longer and quieter on a single charge for a max of 30 minutes.
- It has a downward-vision-sensing feature and GPS which allows precise hovering and stability.
- See what your drone sees through its camera straight to your phone or tablet using a free app.
- It maintains an HD video feed at a distance of up to 2.4 miles.
- It has propeller guards to reduce the risk of harm to people, pets and objects due to user accidents.
That’s why the DJI Global Mavic Mini is the first thing on my Christmas list. I’m looking forward to finding and exploring new locations and upping my game with photography and videos.
