DJI Fly

I have great difficulty understanding why DJI would make such a small drone and yet it really cannot be considered a travel drone. There is currently no way to control the Mini with you phone or tablet only this means that although the drone technically can fit in your pocket, you are still constrained to carry around the bulky case with a remote. It is also impossible to quickly power on and launch the drone for those quick shot you can get with the Spark or Air. Such a simple fix to make the Mini truly portable. Also NEEDS Active Track. The Mini appears capable of it as it tracks its subject during Helix and other Quickshots. These omissions are simply head scratching.

This is a wonderful app for beginner drone operators. I just got my first drone and found this app straightforward and easy to fly my Mavic Mini. The app has everything that a novice operator would need to fly their drone without feeling overwhelmed with the telemetry data. The quick shots feature is especially helpful with getting very cinematic looking footage of the subject with just a couple taps in the app. I am (mostly) happy with what DJI has done with this app. There are however shortcomings. First, the quickshots are very limited in scope. Few other quick shots would have been nice. Also there is no subject tracking feature so the subject has to be stationary for the drone to capture them in quick shots. Thirdly, the RTH height is buried in the menus. Would be nice if I could set the RTH height prior to each flight depending on the surroundings I am flying in. I honestly think DJI should implement an advanced mode in the app that operator could switch to as they become more experienced. Hopefully they will continue to improve the functionality of this app.

First and foremost I love the drone! But my one complaint about this product is lack of software. The drone has so much advance technology and so many capabilities that aren’t even being used to there full potential due to lack of in app features... I understand that this drone was meant for beginner pilots and that is one reason the app is limited... but plz let us more advance users have the option to use dji Go 4... we all know this drone has all of the same tech the spark had so plz let us use it😁 Thank you

Really enjoy using this simplified app (compared to the GO 4 App). I had an Air before and I really enjoyed it, but the Mini has longer flight time and is a much better value (also the 249g / no registration helps). The one thing they could do to improve this app is to include more quick shots. I really miss the asteroid and other quick shots. Please add more! The Mini is more than capable of these shots.

There is a lot to love about the Mavic Mini and this app, but there is one huge flaw. The Fly app cannot currently unlock authorization zones. This means I cannot fly the drone at my house because it’s on the very edge of an authorization zone, and the app prevents it from taking off. Any other DJI drone using their other app could fly here, but the Mavic mini will not until they enable unlocking functionality (which, again, is already built into their other drones/app). The Fly app would otherwise be four or five stars, but this issue is a huge one if you live in or near an authorization zone like me.
