Spark missing?
It would have been around August this year, and I was thinking of purchasing the DJI "Spark", but the DJI official website had been missing.September and October and two months have not been resumed.What is likely to happen is that there will be a successor to the SPARK position.
DJI「Mavic Mini」
That's why I was patient and patiently, and on October 31, "Mavic mini" was announced.Instead of the previously small, lightest light -weight machine SPARK, this aircraft will be the smallest aircraft.
The biggest feature is that it has been less than 200g with the body+battery.As you may know, when you fly a drone in a population -intensive area designated by the DID, you need permission from the Aviation Law.However, this is a proviso that "the body+battery weight is less than 200g".
Even with the lightest weight machine SPARK, the weight was 300g, so it was necessary to apply for permission to fly over the DID, but it is great that it is possible to fly without applying for permission despite the same performance.Since this 200g limit is a unique rule of Japan, DJI has bothered to make a model tailored to the regulation for Japanese users.
The price at the official store is 46,200 yen (tax included) for the basic set, including the main unit, and 59,400 yen (tax included) for the Fly More combo containing spare parts and spare batteries.
Since the enforcement of the revised Aviation Law, domestic consumers seem to have cooled down drone fever, but the appearance of this unit may be exciting again.This time, I would like to test this Mavic mini carefully.
