DJI Mavic Mini Guide

Award-winning contributor used the new DJI Mavic Mini to create this fantastic aerial tour of Los Cabos, Mexico.  Los Cabos is a municipality that covers the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, which separates the Pacific Ocean from the Sea of Cortez.  Los Cabos includes the two resort towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, which are separated by just over 30 km (around 20 mi.) of developed beachfront, plus many km/miles of thus-far undeveloped beachfront on either side of the corridor.  

For a drone weighing only a quarter kilogram (about 8 oz.), the DJI Mavic Mini is an astonishingly effective aerial video platform.  Withness this Mini-captured video of one of the most famous fortresses in Europe, compliments of Luca_B3n.  It's the Rocca Calascio, a 10th century AD fortification in the mountains of central Italy.  The highest fortress in the Apennine Mountains, the landmark has been used as a filming location for a number of movies, most recently the American (2010).

The hills of Bologna stretch around the foot of the Apennine Mountains along the edge of the plain of the Po River. Marco Miele adds his own short review of the Mavic Mini in the description below.
