Mavic Mini hovers in the air and rotates to capture a 360-degree panoramic video

The DJI Fly app is designed to control the drone, and can be downloaded to your smartphone from the app store. DJI Fly has special tutorials to help new pilots learn about flight techniques, and pre-installed editing templates add a new level of creative approach to shooting. Thanks to its intuitive design, the Mavic Mini can be used by pilots of all skill levels.

The software application offers three flight modes: for novice pilots, the “Positioning” mode (P) is intended, which covers basic operations, more experienced pilots are provided with additional capabilities in the “Sport” mode (S). There is also a CineSmooth mode (C), which is optimal for those who shoot video. In this mode, the braking time is increased for smoother shooting and cinematic shots. Pilots can also choose any of the pre-programmed maneuvers, the so-called QuickShot: Rocket, Circle, Dronie, Helix (“Rocket”, “Circle”, “Dronie” and “Spiral”). By the way, these are quite useful and interesting programs, since the trajectory of such maneuvers is very difficult to reproduce manually, at least for a beginner. For example, during the “Circle” maneuver, the quadcopter flies around uruguay number data an object (a person or anyone or anything else) in a circle and keeps it in the camera focus all the time. The "Spiral" maneuver is similar to uruguay number data the "Circle", only the flight radius is constantly increasing. In Dronie mode, the quadcopter moves away from the specified object with a smooth climb, and the camera is constantly aimed at the object. "Rocket" is probably the simplest maneuver - the drone first fixes above the object, and then rapidly gains height along a vertical line, keeping it in focus.

Actually, in a flight area limited in size, it is hardly possible to test the speed characteristics of the Mavic Mini. But the maneuverability and quality of video or photography are quite possible. In general, controlling the Mavic Mini is quite simple - especially when the flight is not interfered with by wind, birds or anything else. Taking off, landing, moving forward, backward, hovering in one place - all these operations are very easy to perform with the device.
All flights were performed with the 360° Propeller Guard, which, by the way, has shown its high efficiency in protecting the propellers. In fact, it reliably protects the propeller blades from any obstacles, except those that can crawl into the space between the scaffolding, for example, it can be leaves, thin branches, pieces of rope hanging down, etc.
