Mini 2 SE, Lightweight Mini Drone with QHD Video, 10km Max Video Transmission, 31-Min Flight Time, Under 249 g, Auto Return to Home, 3-Axis Gimbal Drone with Camera for Beginners

I concur that DJI makes great drones at many price points, and for many skill levels. Every one of the dozens of articles I read before purchase had DJI at the top of the recommended list. My only problem was deciding which drone to buy as a novice. I didn’t want to buy a >$1K package and have the drone fly off into the sunset, never to be seen again, on my first flight. So, I split the difference on risk vs. cost/performance. I bought a DJI, but not the newest model. The better, but still very similar, model 4 would have cost more than twice as much for a similar package as this model 2. I’m happy to report that this drone is a great choice for adult beginners. It does not have the collision avoidance or 4k camera of the newest model, but it is essentially the same for basic setup and flight control and its camera performance is adequate. It really is a very nice drone, and I’m very happy I bought the DJI. It is relatively easy to set up and very easy to learn to fly. I really like the Mini2 SE and I’m glad I bought it. One thing I didn’t know about drones before researching is that all drones above 250 grams must be registered with the FAA, and some drones must initialize a flight approval each time they are used. So, if you buy a drone that weighs over 250 grams, be sure you understand what you are buying. It’s one thing to have to pay $5 and register once online, it’s another to have to be within cellphone signal range to initialize flight. With the latter type you could be miles into a hike and not be able to use your drone at all due to no cell signal for flight authorization. The DJI Mini 2 SE is not either of those. Two things you will need, which are not included in this kit, are a charger plug adapter and a mini SD type memory card. It’s absolutely ridiculous that a $500 package, that includes everything else, does not include the plug adapter. DJI’s >$1K packages don’t either. You need an 18 Watt or greater plug, such as the newer Apple devices use. Yes, most of us already have one, but that’s not the point. DJI should just charge $5 more and include one in the kit! The memory card isn’t technically necessary but the images and video will be much higher quality if you use one. The DJI Mini 2 SE supports up to a 256 gigabyte card. A high quality name brand card is only ~$25 and a 128 gigabyte is half that. If DJI had included the SD card and charger plug, they would have only had to increase the price of this package by less than $20, and the customer would not have to scramble around trying to source missing pieces of the appropriate parameters. Another issue is the formatting of the SD card… It needs to be formatted in the drone itself but I never found any mention of this in DJI’s instructions. Query YouTube for a quick tutorial, it’s less than a 30 second process once someone walks you through the appropriate menus on the controller app. In summary, I have no real complaints just suggestions, this is a great drone made by the leader in this market segment. It’s high quality, easy to fly and many of the parts are interchangeable with prior and current models. Its basic flight capability is very comparable to the more expensive DJI models, but it is edged out by them on camera resolution and advanced features like object avoidance, but it costs significantly less. If price is not a concern, I’d recommend the Mini 4 unconditionally, it is better. However, the Mini 2 is also an excellent choice and I’m glad I chose it for my first drone. I may upgrade at some point in a few years, once I have a lot more experience, but I’m completely satisfied with this drone and would recommend it or buy it again in the same circumstances.

Just got my hands on the DJI Mini 2 SE drone, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! This little guy is small enough to fit in a small compartment of a backpack, but it's got some serious skills up its sleeve. I have tried several other types of drones with limited success. This drone changed all that! First off, the camera quality is really good. I'm certainly no pro photographer, but the shots I've been getting are pretty impressive. The 12MP sensor captures every detail, and the 3-axis gimbal keeps things steady, even when the wind is acting up. Speaking of wind, I was very surprised at how stable the drone and the camera shots are event in windy conditions. Compared to other drones that I have used, this one is easy to set up, and easy to get in the air without a lot of steps. The DJI Fly app is easy to navigate and you don't have to worry about a million setting to change to get in the air, or even while flying. Battery life is solid too. The battery says that it will last up to 31 minutes, which is better than most of the drones that I have seen. I actually get about 23-25 minutes on each charge, but I do tend to do a lot of maneuvering which limits battery time. The app has a nice feature where it will give you an estimated flight time remaining based on height and distance of the drone. I have successfully flown the drone several miles from my location and was able to still get crisp clear video. Now, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. One thing I wish it had is obstacle avoidance sensors. I've had a couple of close calls with trees, and it would be nice to have that extra layer of protection, especially for us newbie pilots. Overall, though, I'm seriously impressed with the DJI Mini 2 SE. It's perfect for anyone looking to up their aerial photography game without breaking the bank. With a few tweaks here and there, it could easily become the go-to drone for adventurers everywhere!

Ce drone est le troisième que j' ai essayé et le premier que je me permets de recommander comme drone de débutant. La livraison a été rapide mais il a fallu beaucoup de temps pour me décider car je me suis permis de faire beaucoup de recherche et de visionnement de vidéos avant de choisir. Après une très mauvaise expérience avec un drone en provenance d' une autre plateforme de bas prix...je confirme que si vous trouvez que ce drone est trop dispendieux pour un débutant, je vous dirai de vous méfier de toutes ces offres de bas prix ridicules. Quand c' est trop beau pour être vrai, c' est que ce n' est pas vrai! Il y a une attrape quelque part. Je regrette de n' avoir pas choisi un DJI comme premier choix, j' aurais épargné du temps de l' argent et du stress inutile. Je suis impressionné par mon nouveau drone et par la qualité de l' application qui l' accompagne. Je suis maintenant un débutant avec un peu plus d' expérience et plus de satisfaction. Je ne regrette pas mon investissement. Mon drone de rêve n' a pas besoin de toutes ces options annoncées dans les annonces de bas prix, qui souvent ne fonctionnent pas comme promis. Et parfois certains vendeurs sans scrupules vous expédient un produit inférieur à ce que l' annonce vous promet. Stabilité, facilité de vol, images de bonne qualité et fiabilité sont les qualités que le mini2 SE de DJI m' a permis de découvrir et d' apprécier tout en me permettant d' être confiant dans mon expérience. Et je continue mes aventures! Excellent produit...un peu dispendieux mais en bout de ligne la qualité du produit est payante!

Eerst was ik van plan om een drone van van het duurdere model onder de 250 g te kopen. Toen dacht ik van laat ik eerst eens kijken of deze hobby wat voor mij is door deze budget drone te kopen. Het is een hele leuke kennismaking gebleken. Wat ik niet meer doe is amazons keuze volgen want achteraf had ik liever het combinatiepakket gekocht met extra batterijen met tas + lader en alle extra's die bij het Combo more pakket inbegrepen zijn. Nu moet ik al deze artikelen los bijkopen en dan ben je zoveel duurder uit dat je gelijk wel een duurder model drone had kunnen kopen. Ik snap Amazon wel dat er zo meer te verdienen valt met deze handreiking naar de verkoper. Deze les kost mij veel extra geld omdat ik alles nu los moet aanschaffen. Uiteraard koop ik deze extra's niet bij Amazon maar bij een webshop eindigend met Express. Mijn aanbeveling voor andere verkopers ga altijd voor het Combo pakket of koop gelijk een duurdere drone.

Als ich den DJI Mini 2 SE zum ersten Mal ausgepackt habe, dachte ich "Wow, sind die Drohnen mittlerweile schon so klein geworden oder bin ich einfach riesig gewachsen?". Tatsächlich war es aber die Drohne, die so unglaublich kompakt ist. Und dann ging es auch schon los: Ich klemmte mein Smartphone in die Fernsteuerung, stellte mich auf eine grüne Wiese und startete die Drohne. Sie hob sanft ab und ich konnte meine Nachbarn sehen, wie sie verwundert aus dem Fenster schauten. Ich hatte das Gefühl, als würde ich die Welt von oben betrachten. Ich fühlte mich wie ein Superheld, der gerade sein neues Spielzeug in der Hand hält. Und dann kam der Schock: Mein Nachbar hatte wohl gedacht, ich würde ihn ausspionieren und zeigte mir plötzlich seinen nackten Hintern. Ich war so geschockt, dass ich fast meine Drohne habe fallen lassen. Aber zum Glück hatte ich die Fernsteuerung noch im Griff und konnte schnell wegfliegen. Ansonsten funktioniert die Drohne super, die Kamera ist wirklich beeindruckend und die Flugzeit ist auch top. Und auch wenn ich jetzt immer ein bisschen Angst habe, was ich alles sehen werde, wenn ich über die Nachbarschaft fliege, ist der DJI Mini 2 SE eine klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die gerne mal die Welt von oben betrachten wollen."

Después de una buena "investigación" y comparación de precios y demás, me decidí por este dron que superó mis expectativas, aunque aún no aprovecho todo el potencial que tiene. Es importante decir que tiene "su chiste" manejarlos bien, pero afortunadamente hay mucha información y videos que explican muy bien cómo volarlos bien.

Il est vraiment top. Hyper maniable et facile d'utilisation. C'est de la super qualité
