DJI May Be Introducing a ‘Mavic Mini’

Less Than 250 Grams Appears To (Potentially) Be The Magic Number...

The rumor mill is ripe with the possibility that DJI may soon be unveiling a ‘Mini-Me’ version of the popular Mavic.

While many hoped to hear the announcement in the same session that revealed the latest variation of the DJI Osmo 3 (which we want... bad), DJI remains mum for the moment. But, hopefully, not too long...

Video has surfaced though, as well as a spec sheet, and the details that seem consistent as having this foldable offering coming in at under 250 grams with all the right goodies (4k cams and the like). This makes the bird even smaller than the Spark and may signal a whole new product generation. 

Some excellent sleuthing from the net's 'Drone DJ' sees the size/weight specification as key to some upcoming strategies from DJI... especially in light of the fact that this puts the Mini-Mavic under the weight spec put forth by the FAA for registration requirements, and freeing the potential customer base from the ‘hassle’ of dealing with the FAA... for the moment. 

Drone DJ sees this as a market buster and we’d hard-pressed to disagree. Though we’re not sure that DJI, despite it’s commitment to ADS-B tech for all 250 gram or heavier drones (by 2020), will negate this capability from the Mini-Mavic... because who knows what the FAA will mandate in the future? 

We’ll have more info as soon as we can get it...
