A new FCC filing has revealed a new as yet unannounced drone from DJI in the form of the Mavic Mini. As yet no details have been released by DJI for the new drone but FCC documents indicate that an announcement could be made very soon. DJI has not announced any new drones since the unveiling of its new Mavic 2 Pro and the Mavic 2 Zoom last year.
Potential Features and Pricing
Rumours are circulating that the DJI Mavic Mini drone could be priced at around $400 or roughly £327, offering a cheaper and more affordable price point compared to the Spark, which launched back in 2017 and was priced at around $500. This also speculated that the new DJI Mavic Mini drone could be equipped with 4K video capture technology. If true, this would make the Mavic Mini an attractive option for both amateur and semi-professional videographers who are looking for high-quality video capabilities without breaking the bank.
In addition to 4K video capture, there are speculations that the Mavic Mini might feature advanced stabilization technology, similar to what is found in DJI’s higher-end models. This would ensure smooth and stable footage even in windy conditions. The drone is also expected to be lightweight and compact, making it highly portable and easy to carry around for on-the-go shooting.
Market Position and Competition
The introduction of the Mavic Mini could significantly impact the market for consumer drones. By offering a high-quality, feature-rich drone at a lower price point, DJI could attract a broader audience, including hobbyists and first-time drone users. This move could also put pressure on competitors to lower their prices or enhance their offerings to stay competitive.
For instance, the Mavic Mini could compete directly with drones like the Parrot Anafi and the Yuneec Mantis Q, both of which are popular in the mid-range consumer drone market. These drones offer features like 4K video, portability, and ease of use, but DJI’s reputation for quality and innovation could give the Mavic Mini an edge.
As always, as soon as more information is made available by leaks or in an official announcement by DJI, we will keep you up to speed. No images have been made available as yet, Mavic Pro pictured above.
