One is a 4K drone with complete up and down side to side camera tilt. and one is not. I bought an Anafi over a year ago for $550 and it was worth it at that price. Plus it has had a lot of firmware updates making it an even better than when I bought it. This compares more to the Mavic than Mini.

Once of the major differences is that the weight is 249 gm for Mavic min (FAA does not need registration below 250gm) Anafi is 563 gm.

Sure. The "Mini" is more a toy drone whereas the Anafi is not. That's why I said the Mavic was a more apt comparison.

I wont really consider Mavic mini as a toy drone. its a very capable (less bells and whistles)

The main points are Anafi is definitely a bigger brother with longer battery life, weight, folded size etc. But its at a double of the price.

It's double the price because it competes more with other 4K drones and is the lightest, quietest, and cheapest of those. Mavic Mini is a very capable drone for what it is, that I agree with.

The sky controller saves you a repeater and a ps4 controller. I have the original parrot ar drone and have to use a wifi repeater and a ps4 controller to mimic this setup. 399 is a bit expensive though and I say for the money, I rather get a dji new or save up for a mavic 2 pro.

The 250 gram threshold saves you 5 bucks and a visit to the FAA website in the US. Nothing more, nothing less.You can't do crazy stuff like fly over crowds, sporting events or in controlled airspace just because a number sticker doesn't have to be on it.All the same rules apply to sub 250g. This is often misinterpreted.

It is a little different in some other countries.

For non-DJI drone, the Hubsan Zino 2 preorder at $399 blows this out the water. I just picked one up or a FIMI X8 SE at $409.. just google those two drones and view Zino 2 .

I'd like to check out the Zino 2 when it shows up. Anafi blows the X8 out of the water in my book. I'll admit though, I'm weighting sound pretty heavily. X8 is a buzzsaw compared to Anafi. Even my Spark is way louder. I do have tinkering oriented friends that love the X8 though. Seems like the kinks are pretty much worked out.
