Buying call

Buy the Mini 2 if you find one cheap and want a simple, portable 4K drone: reviewers praised its compact folding design, stabilized 4K camera, raw and JPG stills, automated QuickShots, intuitive controls, quiet flight and a roughly 31-minute flight time. Skip it if you want safety or tracking features, because it has no obstacle avoidance, no ActiveTrack follow mode and no color profiles. Newer Minis have better cameras.
