DJI Mavic 3 vs Mini 2 - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's take a closer look at the two DJI brand drones in comparison and take a closer look at the differences between the Mavic 3* and Mini 2*.
Which drone has better flight performance?
When it comes to a drone, flight performance, among other things, is a very interesting and important topic. Which drone is faster? Can the DJI Mavic 3 fly longer than the DJI Mini 2? Let's compare the flight performance. Let's take a look at the flight performance of the drones. The manufacturers' values here refer to good weather conditions. If there is a lot of wind, the performance may be lower.
With a maximum flying speed up to 57,6 km/h in the horizontal, the DJI Mini 2* can do more. The DJI Mavic 3 can manage up to 19,0 km/h here.
In addition to the speed in horizontal flight, the maximum speeds in climb and descent are also of interest. The data here is given in meters per second. Not in kilometers per hour.
Compared to the DJI Mini 2, the DJI Mavic 3* wins in climb speed. It manages up to 8,0 m/s². The DJI Mini 2 manages up to 5,0 m/s² in the climb.
The descent is faster for the DJI Mavic 3* with up to 6,0 m/s². The DJI Mini 2 can thereby be up to 3,5 m/s².
Flight performance also includes flight time and possible distance. In good weather conditions, the DJI Mavic 3 manages up to 46 minutes, which is better than the DJI Mini 2, which manages up to 31 minutes. The maximum distance is mostly related to the flight duration. Here, the DJI Mavic 3 is ahead with a maximum distance of up to 30 km with one battery charge. For the DJI Mini 2 it is up to 9 km.
Many drones offer a removable battery for more flight performance. This is also the case with the DJI Mavic 3 and DJI Mini 2. For both drones, the battery can be removed and replaced. To take advantage, you usually have to buy another battery. Most of the time, the packages are called "Fly More." For the change, you have to land your drone in between, of course. Thus, the performance does not increase in one piece.
DJI Mavic 3 or DJI Mini 2, which drone can fly higher? The DJI Mavic 3 can climb up to 6000 m in height. The DJI Mini 2 can handle up to 4000 m. This allows the DJI Mavic 3 to handle more. However, what a drone can do and what is allowed are different issues. Legally, there are regulations on how high a drone can fly, depending on the area. Here you should inform yourself before each use.
Which drone has better viedo performance?
Let's start at the resolution. In comparison, the DJI Mavic 3* here with 5120 x 2700 @ 50fps offers a higher resolution than the DJI Mini 2. This has a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2260 @ 30fps Of course, depending on your usage, it makes sense that you look at the complete list of resolutions.
In the film industry, 24 fps is still used for theatrical films. Even though this is a lower value, it is popularly used in cinematography. Both drones from the comparison can shoot videos at 24 fps. However, here you always have to check the context of the resolution.
Furthermore, the bitrate of the videos is still relevant. Here, the DJI Mavic 3* performs better with up to 200 Mbit/s. The value for the DJI Mini 2 is 100 Mbit/s.
Which drone takes the better photos?
In addition to video resolution, photo resolution is also an important point when comparing drones.
Not only the resolution is interesting for the photo function. The functions for photos are also not always the same for drones. Let's take a look at the functions in a brief comparison:
- Both: Panorama, Continuous shooting, RAW photo format
- Only DJI Mavic 3*: HDR function, Wide Angle
- Only DJI Mini 2*: -
