[QUOTE="SPark_South_Oz, post: 125048, member: 17032"] I've had my Spark for a good 5 years, and still love flying it. Never had a Mini, though I am on the MavicPilots forum with my M1P, and read a lot about the Minis. I also just picked up a 2nd hand Mini (original model) for a pittance for a neighbours lad, his first drone to learn on, and have flown that with him last week. I know the biggest comment I see on the Minis from the original to the M3P is how toy like they feel, flimsy compared to others, and light (duh !). This is understandable as they are also so light and small (at least folded, the Spark is smaller when the Mini 3 is unfolded). The Mini 3 (and Mini 2) both do quite well in winds, though of course wind handling with lighter weight and buffeting about can be worse in a lighter drone, but the gimbal should counter that reasonably well. The Mini 3s are actually a cat 5 wind resistance drone up to 38km/hr. Motors are matched to weight etc, so don't sweat that. You will get great flight time of course from the std battery (say 25 - 30 mins real time landing with a decent % left), and if you want to stay sub 250g you can't go with the extra battery (51 mins say up to real time 45 mins ?) as it pushes past that weight category. Of course if you are really isolated, and flying remote etc, who will really know. But if I was buying a Mini style drone right now, it'd be the Mini 3 (not pro), I don't need the quad bayer type 48mp option for decent photos, the 12mp is fine, and all the rest of the video etc are same in both. I'd certainly buy a flymore package and if possible the DJI-RC . . . having that little quicker setup / less hassle would be sweet :) Over here that package is AU$1278, so about US$861, so leaves a nice budget surplus for a case / backpack to hold the lot and little extras like ND filters, strobe etc if you use those sorts of things, and of course you might want to take up Care Refresh type cover too. Good luck with the choice and upgrade. I know I'd miss my Spark and it's bombproof build / nature. [/QUOTE]
