DJI Mavic Mini Combo
The new ultra-lightweight drone from DJI.
What is the Mavic Mini?
DJI has recently unveiled the Mavic Mini drone. This new drone weighs 249g, meaning that it will not need to be registered with the UK or USA Governments.
Weighing under 250 grams, the DJI Mavic Mini is almost as light as the average smartphone.
This makes it exceptionally portable and places it in the lowest and safest weight class of drones, which in many countries may exempt it from specific regulations.
Please note: The prop guards in this Combo will increase the flying weight of the aircraft beyond 250g. Whilst the aircraft can still be flown in the A1 Subcategory of the Open Category, the Remote Pilot must be in possession of an A2 CofC qualification. Find out more by reading our guide about UK drone laws.

Drone Laws, Licences and Training Requirements
Until 31 December 2020
Where Can I Fly?
Drone pilots should follow the Drone Code, or permissions granted by their PfCO/standard permission.
Do I need to register my drone in the UK?
No. There is no need to register under the Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education Service.
After December 31 2020 (Transitional Period)
Where Can I Fly?
As standard, the Mavic Mini weighs 249g, meaning that you can operate in the A1 Category of the Open Category. This means that you can fly over uninvolved people, but not over crowds. All you need to do before you fly is read the drone's user manual.
However, if you are operating outside and add items to your Mavic Mini, such as prop guards or the snap adaptor, this will take the weight over the 250g threshold, meaning that you will have to operate in the A1 Transitional category, which stipulates no intentional flight over uninvolved persons. However, to be able to do this, you will need to complete an A2 Certificate of Competency.
If your Mavic Mini exceeds the 250g flying weight and you are flying outdoors, but you do not have an A2 CofC, then you will have to operate your drone within the rules of the A3 subcategory of the Open Category, which stipulates no uninvolved people present within the area of flight; and no flight within 150m horizontally of residential, commercial, industrial or recreational areas
Do I need to register my drone?
Yes. See the Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education Service page for more details.
What Happens If I Have a PfCO?
Holders of a standard permission valid beyond December 31 2020 can operate under the terms of the permission, until their renewal date. Then apply to fly under an Operational Authorisation (replacing the PfCO).
From January 2023 (End of Transitional Period)
The rules will change for DJI aircraft in their current form. Updated information released nearer the time.
