[QUOTE="JoostGT3, post: 105712, member: 3889"] Same here, flew the mini for the first time yesterday. Battery life is good enough to have you not worried about it. Flies quite well, it felt a bit slow, but that was subjective. CE range is to cry for, really pathetic. You really need to be close to something interesting to film in order to make nice footage (As opposed to the Mavic, where you can send the bird up and see if there is something nice to film around you). I think my phone did not have a good GPS lock, as the app showed me the total distance travelled, not the distance to me (which was quite confusing and quite useless if you ask me). It is reasonable quiet, but my Mavic 2 Pro is quieter. All in all, I am not sure which one to keep: my Spark with FCC hack or my new Mavic Mini CE. A weird side-effect of the Mini's small weight is that it really feels as a flimsy toy drone when you take it out of the case. The Spark always has this nice solid feel to it, which makes it feel not as a toy, but as a robust platform. I did a comparison btw, measuring the weight of the entire mini fly more combo (minus the prop cages) in the bag vs the spark fly more with the portable charging station and the bag. The mini was approximately 500gr less than the Spark and in a more favorable geometry, making it the absolute favorite to take with you on hikes etc. [/QUOTE]
