DJI introduced the Mavic Mini in October 2019. It is a small, foldable drone with a takeoff weight of only 249 g, a 3-axis gimbal camera that takes 12 MP photos and 2.7K video, and up to 30 minutes of flight time. Thanks to its low weight, registration is not required in some countries and regions, but always check your local rules before you fly.
Below you will find the complete official specifications of the Mavic Mini: speed, range, frequencies, sensors, video transmission, gimbal, camera, batteries, app and supported microSD cards. DJI’s official launch video is at the top of this page.
The Mavic Mini is different in many ways from the earlier Mavic 2 and Mavic Air.
Update (October 2026): Since 2019, DJI has released several newer Mini drones, such as the Mini 2, Mini 3 and Mini 4 series. The specifications on this page are for the original Mavic Mini.
