In this table we can see, there is no difference in operating temperature range, satellite positioning systems. While on the size, the DJI Mavic mini size is smaller than DJI Mavic Air and Spark. Though the diagonal distance, max speed and maximum takeoff altitude are the same as DJI Mavic Air. The speed time has improve to 9 minutes, compare to Mavic Air’ 21 minutes.
DJI Mavic mini vs DJI Mavic air vs DJI spark: Gimbal
Gimbal | DJI Mavic Mini | ||
Controllable Range | –90° to 0° | -90° to 0° | 85° to 0° |
Stabilization | 3-axis mechanical (pitch, roll, yaw) | 3-axis mechanical head (pitch, roll, pan) | 2-axis mechanical head (pitch, roll) |
Obstacle Sensing Range | 0.2–10m | 0.5 to 12 m | 0.2 to 5 m |
Operating Environment | / | rich surface texture, sufficient lighting conditions size > 20 × 20 cm reflectivity of> 20% (e.g., walls, trees, people, etc.) | surface is diffuse material Size > 20×20 cm Reflectivity > 20% (such as wall, trees, people, etc.) |
In terms of the gimbal, the parameters of DJI Mavic mini is more close to DJI Mavic. While the stabilization is 3-axis mechanical. It seems this new drone will be more stable when flying. In the Obatance Sensing Range, DJI Mavic Mini has large improvement.

The cameras of the three drones are all equipped with 1/2.3″ 12Mpx sensors. A few technical elements differentiate the three models, but what will interest us most are the maximum video resolution. The DJI Mavic Mini offers 2.7K at 30 frames per second or 1080p at 60 frames per second.
On the other hand, DJI Mavic Air offers 4K Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 at 30 frames per second. The image quality will certainly be better on the DJI Mavic Air. Mavic Air has 100Mb/s compared to the DJI Mavic Mini which is limited to 40Mb/s. To finish on the video, the Mavic Mini is limited to the MP4 format while the Mavic Air offers MP4 or MOV.
Verdict
Above all, the main specification of three DJI drones comparison. The new DJI drone - DJI Mavic mini didn’t has the same features as DJI Mavic mini. It is more like the improvement version of DJI Spark. While Mavic mini is smaller and lighter. And most important is that the price of DJI Mavic mini is $399, which is the same as DJI Spark, but cheaper than DJI Mavic air.
