sample video
This is a video recorded with the DJI Mavic Mini, what better than a sample to check its potential 😉
This is a drone for those who want to fly within cities, simply and with quality, without becoming professional recordings. If you don’t want to get too complicated but a toy doesn’t work for you, you’ll like it. And if not, you have more cheap camera drones here.
As a last note, always remember to check the local regulations before flying your drone, since, in addition to varying from one place to another, it can be modified at any time.
I hope you found it useful and if so, remember to share it with whoever you think might be interested. Thank you and happy flight 😉
