Camera
Let’s talk a bit about the camera rig of each quadcopter. While, booth drones feature 3-axis gimbals and 1/2.3″ CMOS image sensor with 12M effective pixels, the FiMi has 4K video recording and the Mavic Mini only 2.7K. Real-time image transmission is made via remote’s down-link. In both cases you need to connect your mobile device (phone or table) to the transmitter using a USB/Lightning cable.
Battery life
While the FIMI X8 is powered by a high power LIPO pack (3s/4500mAh), the Mavic Mini by a small 2s/2400mAh battery. Despite the fact that there is more that twice capacity difference, the MM manages to stay in the air almost same as the X8SE. The raw manufacturer specs says that the MINI has 30 minutes flight time and its rival 33 minutes.
Due to the smaller capacity battery, the Japanese version of the MiniMavic has about 18-19 minutes airborne time (in optimal wind conditions).
