Where are the differences?

Let's take a closer look at the differences between the DJI Mini 2* and Parrot Anafi* comparing the two drones.

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 Mini 2 fly longer than the Parrot Anafi? 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.

The DJI Mini 2* performs better in maximum flight speed. It manages up to 57,6 km/h in horizontal flight. For the Parrot Anafi, the maximum flight speed in horizontal is up to 15,1 km/h.

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 Parrot Anafi, the DJI Mini 2* wins in climb speed. It manages up to 5,0 m/s². The Parrot Anafi manages up to 4,0 m/s² in the climb.

With a speed of up to 4,0 m/s², the Parrot Anafi* offers a faster descent. Here, the DJI Mini 2 can reach up to 3,5 m/s².

Flight performance also includes flight time and possible distance. Up to 32 minutes is achieved by the Parrot Anafi in good weather conditions. Thus, the drone performs better than the DJI Mini 2 in disem point. The DJI Mini 2 manages up to 31 minutes.

Many drones offer a removable battery for more flight performance. This is also the case with the DJI Mini 2 and Parrot Anafi. 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 Mini 2 or Parrot Anafi, which drone can fly higher? The DJI Mini 2 can climb up to 4000 m in height. The Parrot Anafi can handle up to 8 m. This allows the DJI Mini 2 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. 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.

The bit rate is another important point in video performance. Here, the Parrot Anafi* is ahead with up to 200 Mbit/s. The DJI Mini 2 makes videos with a bitrate of up to 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 Mini 2*: -
  • Only Parrot Anafi*: HDR function, Wide Angle

Compare storage capacity

. Very few drones store videos and photos on internal memory. Therefore, a memory card slot is interesting. In this case, both drones provide a place for a memory card. The slot gives you a bit more flexibility in capacity. However, some devices have a limitation here as well.
