Hello, every one! Some users asks a question about how Mini 2 is compared to mini 1 and is it worth to upgrade or not? I think, it’s like a comparision between iphone 14 pro and between 15 pro. Yes, it is better, but 14 is still very good phone. Here is a little test. I scanned the same model with MINI 1 and MINI 2, let me show what i got. **1. Scanning setup** Scanning setup on Mini 2 ![IMG_4078](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/e/2/e25ba8e5f56d4fdd0e01c4786929495963ce53fc.jpeg) Scanning setup on Mini 1 ![IMG_4088](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/2/1/21a0a87a3425df13a98c7ebaf12f6dc1863b0831.jpeg) **2. Results** Mini1 details: ![2024-02-04_13-54-40](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/7/c/7c984d8ff6fe12c0bba7238757d39849a0163fd2.jpeg) Mini 2 details: ![2024-02-04_13-54-00](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/d/2/d21833d873c3b55ee161344e1e953a4982f9d37b.jpeg) **3. Conclusion** As you can see, mini 2 captured a little bit more details. But why? Suppose that the reason is a scanning distance. I found, that Mini 1 scan is very good at 120-130mm, but at the same time, mini 2 is able to get perfect details at 175-185mm distance! What does it mean? It means, that you get more markers and features in field of view with mini 2 than with mini 1. Because of that you will get different workflow with mini 1 and mini 2. You need to get closer with mini 1. On my opinion, it is a little bit harder to scan at closer distance. But if you go further, you will lose some details. Here is the answer, why i got better details with mini 2. I scanned the same model, but when i scan it with mini 2 it was a comfortable 180mm distance. But when i scan it with mini 1 i used 165mm distance and lose some details. Here is the benefit of Mini 2 - you could reach the same amount of details at longer distances.

It will be more interesting if objects commonly available to almost everybody is used. I tried to scan bolts of different sizes with my new POP3 the other day and here is the result. The distance is in the excellent / too near range so I believe the resolving power of the scanner is fully used. The smallest bolt with the threads resolvable is M5 ( 0.8 mm thread pitch ). The point distance setting in fusion and meshing was set to the minimum value of 0.2 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/4/1/41249c074a77c85acd2a9a5ff580384a7060e0f5.jpeg)
