The Mavik Mini drone is outstanding, especially for this price. For reference, I have had one drone before this (Parrot Bebop).
Pros:
-Stability and control are simply outstanding. Very easy to fly and includes three different settings. Easy to make micro-adjustments in-flight, this allows you to get some very good shots.
-Camera quality is unbelievable. For $400 I am shocked at how great the photos and videos turn out. If you're wondering, the quality is so good that it could definitely be used for commercial purposes.
-The size. I was a little reluctant at first to buy a "mini" drone, but once you get used to the size difference it doesn't feel odd. I now prefer the small size.
-The controller is easy to use, feels sturdy, and is compact.
-Overall just seems to be put together and designed really well.
-Battery life. I haven't fully tested it to its limits, but I've gotten 30-35 minutes of flight time while using the camera for 80% of that time.
-Very easy set-up.
Cons:
-The gimbal protector is kind of a pain to fit around the camera. This isn't a big deal as it only takes a few extra seconds to get on correctly. It just could be better.
-The cord that plugs your phone into the controller only fits through the controller one way, again not a big deal.
-It only came with one charging cord (you charge the controller and drone with the same cord). Also, it didn't come with the outlet for the wall. This was somewhat dissapointing.
Overall, totally amazing drone that can be flown by the amateur or professional for commercial purposes. I don't think I will ever buy anything that isn't from DJI again. This is a gamechanger.
