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.

I have one question—how on earth is this thing less than four hundred dollars?! This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made on a drone. It’s perfectly steady, and the camera is stunning. The quality of the footage is so clear and crisp, it’s almost unbelievable. And the range? It can go so far away that I can’t even fathom the distance. After receiving a terrible drone order that was a complete waste of money, I truly understood just how incredible the DJI Mini 2 SE is. It felt necessary to leave this review despite the fact that not many people might see it because the difference is night and day. This drone is leagues above anything else I’ve tried. Despite a few crashes, this drone works flawlessly and feels like it should be worth at least $1,500. The return-to-home feature is incredibly precise—literally down to the inch—and the motion sensors are spot-on as well. It's also ridiculously easy to fly, which is perfect for anyone, whether you're a beginner or an experienced pilot. The best part? You don’t even need to register it because it’s so lightweight. Plus, it’s super easy to bring into other countries. I packed this drone into a suitcase full of heavy shoes and other items for a trip from Virginia to Turkey. The suitcase was handled roughly, and the boxes inside were damaged—including the drone's box—but when I unpacked everything, the drone was completely unscathed. The build quality is just that good! Here’s something insane to think about: imagine there’s an island on the Chesapeake Bay you want to fly over. It’s 7 km away, and this drone has a 10 km range without any signal extenders. But here’s the catch—your drone isn’t fully charged. You figure it’s fine and put the drone in sport mode to help it get there faster. But you completely underestimate how long the charge will last (which, by the way, is super long with this amazing piece of tech). When you’re 4 km out, the drone warns you that it doesn’t have enough charge to go much further and return safely. If you don’t listen, it’ll automatically turn back on its own. It’s like this drone is designed to be unbreakable and impossible to lose! Oh, and did I mention it can even handle CRAZY winds? This thing is a total beast. Last thing: I recommend buying an extra 2 chargers and charging station. Instead of getting 31 mins of flight time, you can get 1.5 hours of it with three batteries. It makes a big difference. Long story short, if you’re on the fence, don’t be. Just buy it—you won’t regret it.

I’ve had a drone that was cheap and had a camera but wasn’t great. So I did research and purchased this drone. It’s an amazing value for the money considering how many features the DJI drones have, from the cheapest to the most expensive. This $300 drone exceeded my expectations watching videos on YouTube and even more in person. It’s very easy to setup and use. The battery in the controller lasts a super long time, the battery on the drone lasts for about 20+ minutes before you need to return. It can run up to 30 minutes but you’re pushing its limits. It’s got amazing build quality, from the drone itself to the controller. That’s what you get when you buy DJI. It handles wind well despite it being so lightweight. The gimbal is so smooth and keeps everything upright and leveled while in flight. It takes 4K quality pictures and 2.7K video. I’ve taken it very high up in the sky and it keeps an amazing signal as well as the gimbal stabilizing the footage or images. It’s so sophisticated for the price it blows me away. I’ve shown it to several people and they’re surprised how advanced it is for the price, everyone loves it. Great DJI drone, I can only imagine how good the other ones are when this is supposed to be beginner level.

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.

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.

Feliz de esta compra, tienes buen alcance, y buena calidad en fotos y video

I'd been thinking of getting a drone for a long time to do some landscape filming, however, after an early "bad buy", I hesitated. Then this came along. It's compact, but solid and pretty sturdy. Best of all, it's easy to fly even for someone like me who is not that tech-savvy. I was up in the air before I knew it, BUT it pays to take your time. Get to know the drone. Practice and - follow the rules. Drones are fun but should be used considerately and cautiously. I bought the Fly-More set because I wanted better endurance - I don't trust battery times. The 31-min max flight time should be treated as the absolute limit, I think, in all reality - 20 mins is a much safer limit, which, to be fair, is still very good. I just wanted the comfort and reassurance of more power at hand. The imagery is pretty sharp and clear, but you need to learn how to get the best from your drone by practising - careful control should limit blurring, once again practice pays off, learn how to manoeuvre the drone smoothly, the controls are very responsive, so it pays to master a smooth operation to avoid jerky and/or fuzzy images. This is a nice piece of kit, and I am very happy with the early results, but I make no apologies for saying again - "practice, patience and understanding", this WILL pay off. FLY SAFE!! FLY RESPONSIBLY!! HAVE FUN!!
