Just enrolled and subscribed to your channel. Im praying I win because I cant afford the mini se but REALLY want one. Right now I have a cheap $100 drone bought from amazon. I have over 200hrs of flight experience and I feel ready to move up to the next level. Fingers crossed!!
@@benythjet, thanks for commenting! I’m happy to hear that you have enrolled, unfortunately this giveaway has already ended. I’ll be hosting more giveaways in the near future.
I just got my SE a few weeks ago, it's my first drone and I could not be happier. In just a few flights, I was feeling very comfortable flying it. I took it out in fairly strong wind and it performed amazingly.
It does perform perfectly in most scenarios. It is a great beginner drone, if you want to gain more insights about flying your drone then my drone course for beginners has everything that you’ll need to know: www.fearlessdrone.academy 👈
Totally agree. I am a novice first time held a drone in my hand unpacking the SE. Two hours later I was carefully flying in C mode indoors taking shots or filming my fridge in 2.7K . 1 month later, no crashes, learned a lot but it is great for novices. Super value for money. Flies really well out of a box binding easy, it all came together by itself, almost.
Agreed! I’m glad that you’re enjoying your drone 😁 If you need anymore guidance then my drone course has everything that you’ll need to know: www.fearlessdrone.academy 🚀
Thank you for this review. As a result of your work and one other review, I decided to buy the SE. I was going to buy the Mini2 but decided against it. As a fairly accomplished photo enthusiast, I have learned that the best specs can be a trap. The difference between 4k and 2.7k was not going to be a big deal. Again, thank you. Regards…..Wayne
That’s awesome to hear Wayne, I’m glad that I could help. I would love to hear about your initial flights. If you need help along your drone journey then my drone course is the perfect place to start: www.fearlessdrone.academy 🚀
Exactly the same here. I was really wanting the mini 2, but now, I'm thinking, get the SE and as soon as I want to, upgrade to the nicer mini 2 or even mini 3.
Love my SE as I'm a beginner and not wanting to shed out extra money for something I'm only learning about. It's a great beginner drone, it's light and easy to use.
Thanks dan, i ordered this drone 3 days ago and will be here tomorrow, so really excited to learn as much as i can from people like you willing to share, 😎👍
In your own experience do you really need to go for the three battery combo. Or having one battery and flying for 20 minutes is that enough fun and then just recharge the battery for a bit and have another go later I don't want to spend all the money on a combo and then find the after 20 minutes I've had enough for a bit, don't want to push my luck too much ?
I find that 20 minutes isn’t enough time. It doesn’t allow you to try different modes and experiment with different movements and flight paths. You’re racing the clock. Charging batteries takes a while so you could be waiting a while to fly again with 1 battery 🔋
I have DJI Mini SE and I cannot agree with you more it's brilliant beginners drone. It can withstand quite windy conditions and video is very stable. In populated area sometimes is loosing it's video feed due to WIFI interference but that's a nature of civilisation. In less populated area there's no drama at all. And app with map image showing you closest way to "return to home point" is brilliant as you can bring it home without seeing (or hearing) your drone. Also auto RTH function works perfect with less than metre margin of taking off point. Little tip: If you have USB splitter you can charge one battery in a drone and other two in a bank which saves time, I actually sometimes charge them in car while driving to next location. Of course 4K video is better than 2.7k BUT price wise and weight 249 grams this is a winner.
Anyway it's my first drone. Earlier I had 4channel planes and helicopters. Flying with this feels like cheating! You just move around, as high as You wish! And the quality is superb! I love it!
I have this drone and it’s absolutely amazing, the only downside I think is the bad gps range and disconnection system, but that’s an easy fix, overall amazing
@@SirShahoEdits All mixed up! The Global Positioning System provides signal from medium Earth orbit satellites. What you have in mind must be Yagi, or Yagi-UDA, (not yugi) drone range extender that amplifies the 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz band signal (Wi-Fi) for communication between drone and controller…

Hey Floyd 👋 Yes, the Mini SE would do great in that situation. You have to activate the drone by signing into your DJI account, I would recommend registering the drone with CASA (get your drone number) but you don’t have to be a qualified pilot.

TY Dan!!!!..I am still learning to fly and I have that fear....I find myself always looking at the drone and never looking at the screen....I also have trouble flying the drone back to me when I fly it our 100 feet or so....I am not trusting the map or the direction the drone is flying in...and height also get my nerves going...even if I am just using the right control stick...hope with some more practice I will be able to overcome these fears and just enjoy flying and capture some good video and pics...thanks again for your tips!!!
Yes! I remember those fears all too well Joseph. It isn't a nice feeling... I'm glad that this video was helpful and you enjoyed my tips. I have designed a course specifically to overcome these fears that you are feeling, my mission is to make sure that pilots like yourself don't make the same mistakes that other pilots make daily.

Hey, should I always update the firmware? because til today i haven't had any problem with the DJI Mini SE yet, it's just that the last time I tried to upload the battery firmware it just gets stuck at 70% and can't do anything about it. But I heard that you can do it manually with the DJI Assistant software. Should I do it?
That is the most challenging part of being a RUclipsr. Bringing value, mentioning sponsors and keeping your audience engaged. Would you prefer those messages later in the video?
my fear is how many places you can't fly for great pics its like what is the point then. might just get this and if i keep getting told i cant fly somewhere i will just sell it.
It is worth trying different locations and checking the drone apps for aerodromes. Safety is paramount and we just need to respect laws, no fly drones and other people.
Dan… I am new to the drone space as you put it… I have had a few toy quadcopters, but this is my first “real” drone. I bought it off of Amazon in Texas without the flymore kit. I will get it later. I have watched dozens of unboxings and reviews but I wasn’t convinced to buy my Mini SE until after I saw your reviews. Great stuff…! I don’t plan to fly my Mini SE until after I complete your online drone course for beginners. I am signing up for it today. Really excited to see for myself what this Mini SE can do… See ya in class…! RayAA

Mini se vs the ING speed brid (bugs 16) You're on a budget buying one or the other cause of payment options the $300 being split up in 4-5 payments. So $300 isn't the budget $50-$60 a mth is You're budget. I got my hands on a cheap mini to hold me off its actually amazing for $35 its a *csj pro* good camera for $35 has 2 actually one is 8mp the other is 5mp 8mim fly a battery you get 2. Folding with a case. Has touch flight and flight routes! But now i want something beefier even more
I don’t understand what you are asking? You can film further away from a subject to make the perspective look wider? The sensor is fixed so you don’t have any zooming options.
Hmmm, I can’t comment on that. I’ve never used the Phantom 3. The Mini SE is a great drone but it does have a relatively small camera sensor and lower bitrate than most drones.
@@DansTubeTV 🤦🏾♂️ Oh ok. That place looks just like the marina I was at a few days ago. A couple of your shots looks similar to my area. Good stuff nevertheless.

Great video!! Looking for the last couple days for a fishing drone . I’m wanting to stay around 300$ , looked at the Hs700e but dji is pretty kick ass in the industry. Do you think this drone would take out 4oz rig 150 yards out to the ocean , if not could you recommend one in my price range . Thnk u
I don’t know what the payload rating is. I would suggest asking in different drone forums (check Facebook groups). I don’t test what payload drones can carry.
@@DansTubeTV I went with the mavic pro . It’s an older model but looks like from videos I’ve watched. It’s still a pretty nice drone. Thnk u for the response

Thank you, Dan, for a great article. My first drone, the DJI Mini SE, is scheduled to arrive this afternoon. I am eager to get started. I already qualified for the FAA "TRUST" Certificate so I am legally ready to fly.

If you have a look on the DJI website and find the Mini SE. Once you click on the store, it will show you what you get with the drone. I believe that they include a micro USB attachment cable.
dan ? have you tried the yagi antenna ? apparently they take alot of stutter out of the video recorder with the boosted rf , i just bought the se , waiting on it now , as well as the yagi and the reflector shield , so ill see if theres a big difference , oh btw i got my fly more pack for $569.. from south aus ,

@@DansTubeTV i actually have a zino pro as well , great drone , crap firmware , which led to it dropping out of the sky saying the battery was dead , when i still had 43% left lol . which ruined the drone . was going to cost more to fix than replace and it wouldnt fix the firmware so i gave up on it , would have got the zino mini except i dont trust them now , so i went with dji , they have great products and i can get parts and service easily . so as long as it performs good , ill be a dji fan lol . 😅

I agree, this is one of my favourite all-round drones for beginners. This drone inspired a lot of content in my drone course: www.fearlessdrone.academy
Many reason, the Mavic Air has a lot more to offer in terms of features and modes. It also has sensors and tracking modes - the Mini SE is a very basic drone.
I bought a miniSe 1month ago after all updates and all process with excite..engine error..didnt land up and I brang the product to the store..it was horrible 1month take to have a new dron very bad service they giving in Croatia sending to Hungary..saying I dont know...now its on the charge and Im not sure what Im gonna see..I will write another comment.. ps.it was my first dron experiment..still 1st :)

I had the same question…I got the mini 2 same motor spec’s…it absolutely handles well in winds up to 25mph …I was so surprised from such a small beast …
I would fly in 25-30km winds but I would test the responsiveness and wind direction before flying. I would also stay relatively close to the controller in high winds but it can handle them really well 💨
Hey Dan, fantastic informative video, and can see a few of my favourite places around Brisbane as well! I found your video perfect as I am looking at getting a drone for the family at Xmas, my daughter who is 9 is interested in tech as I am so win win... Santa comes to me as well! I was considering the Mini 2 but as you pointed out the enhanced wifi is fine as it needs to line of sight anyway... Keep up the great work mate!

Hey Dan, Great review, just a quick question. All the clips in the video, where you were flying over water and through trees, were you using the camera on the mini se?
Thanks for watching, from my understanding all of the footage is from the Mini SE. My editor worked on this video so he might have added other clips from different drones but I don’t think so.
Thanks so much for a great review, and tips. I've got the Dji Mini Se but worried about first flight. I'm going to check your other videos and your site. Regarding the smartphone what fits into the control pad at the bottom, what size phone will it go upto. I have a Google Pixel 6, at 6.4 inch, and my favourite phone for nice big screen, Motorola G5G Plus. Problem is, the screen is a 6.7inch screen, but I love it. Yes, the pixel 6 is a better screen spec wise, but I do love my Motorola. So, could you please let me no, what size screen I.e will a 6.4 in h be fine, and, is there anything I can buy to attach my 6.7 inch Motorola g 5G Plus to the dji controller. Appreciate you help, and tips. Thanking you.

@@DansTubeTV Thanks for replying my friend, I shall take a look at your course. We don't get the best weather here in the UK, but has given it to be warm this week so I shall take a look at your drone course I think. Do t want to break it on first flight.

I live in the US with very forested areas I'd like to fly. How do you compare the SE to 2 with transmission in forested areas? I need to stay on budget, but if I am always losing transmission, it might be worth the upgrade to the mini 2. Thanks for your thoughts.
I find that interference becomes an issue in suburban areas. If the forest is extremely dense then you might have issues with the SE 🌲 If you can afford the Mini 2 then it might be worth the extra money!

Yes! Such a big upgrade, are you loving the drone so far?
Only flew once so far. Bought it two weeks ago 👍👍
I have one and I love it. I wish the battery life was longer but other than that it’s great.
Agreed, a fantastic starter drone.
Ive plan to buy mini 2, thats my final dicission, the difference is not about 4k, the most important range connection is occusync
Yes, good choice. If you don’t care about the 4K then the Mini 2 SE might be a good drone for you. Check out my latest video.
@@DansTubeTV thank you already buy dji mini 2 se, mas mura cya 4k lang nman ang nawala
I b bought a dji mini se but my Samsung galaxy a51 I'm having trouble downloading the dji fly app so I have not been able to fly my drone yet
You might have to go to DJI’s website to download the app.
I'm a little concerned about downloading the DJI fly app I've been reading bad things about it is it that unsafe?
I’ve had no issues with it and I haven’t heard about any issues that friends/subscribers are experiencing.
Epic, really nice drone (want one for Christmas)
If you do get one then my drone course can help you to become a confident drone pilot: www.fearlessdrone.academy 👈
if i buy can you ship to india???
You can try to order from here: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
I want to film mates when they are surfing in light offshore conditions. Is the mini se a good drone for this ? Do I have to register the mini se with Dji ? Thanks mate.
Hey Floyd 👋 Yes, the Mini SE would do great in that situation. You have to activate the drone by signing into your DJI account, I would recommend registering the drone with CASA (get your drone number) but you don’t have to be a qualified pilot. I would recommend getting my course if you are a beginner and feeling a little overwhelmed: www.fearlessdrone.academy (save 10% with code “DANSTUBE”).
Great video I bought one after I saw this. It’s fantastic and a really good deal in my opinion.
That’s awesome! How are you finding the flight experience so far? If you need any help becoming fearless then my drone course might be the perfect starting point: www.fearlessdrone.academy 👈
The best portable Drone ever
TY Dan!!!!..I am still learning to fly and I have that fear....I find myself always looking at the drone and never looking at the screen....I also have trouble flying the drone back to me when I fly it our 100 feet or so....I am not trusting the map or the direction the drone is flying in...and height also get my nerves going...even if I am just using the right control stick...hope with some more practice I will be able to overcome these fears and just enjoy flying and capture some good video and pics...thanks again for your tips!!!
Yes! I remember those fears all too well Joseph. It isn't a nice feeling... I'm glad that this video was helpful and you enjoyed my tips. I have designed a course specifically to overcome these fears that you are feeling, my mission is to make sure that pilots like yourself don't make the same mistakes that other pilots make daily. I want people to fly fearlessly and with confidence, if this sounds like something that you might be interested in then check out my drone course: fearlessdrone.academy/ 👈
The course is currently on special for $99 AUD (regular price $149 AUD). The special ends on the 8th of November so make sure to snap up this 33% saving while you can!
Hey Joseph! I just noticed that the course went back to full price accidentally. The Fearless Drone Academy is now $99 if you wanted to go ahead and pick it up! Let me know if you have any questions: dan@fearlessdrone.academy
Flying can be really terrifying at first, that is why the Fearless Drone Academy provides all the tips, guidance and insights you need as a beginner. Check our course here: 👈
Hey, should I always update the firmware? because til today i haven't had any problem with the DJI Mini SE yet, it's just that the last time I tried to upload the battery firmware it just gets stuck at 70% and can't do anything about it. But I heard that you can do it manually with the DJI Assistant software. Should I do it?
Weird, it should not freeze at 70%. Completely up to you, I prefer to keep my drone up to date.
Three minutes into the video finally getting to the subject.
Sorry Kim, did you enjoy the video at least?
@@DansTubeTV In fact, yes. I just personally find it annoying when so much time is burned before getting to the subject of the video.
That is the most challenging part of being a RUclipsr. Bringing value, mentioning sponsors and keeping your audience engaged. Would you prefer those messages later in the video?
my fear is how many places you can't fly for great pics its like what is the point then. might just get this and if i keep getting told i cant fly somewhere i will just sell it.
It is worth trying different locations and checking the drone apps for aerodromes. Safety is paramount and we just need to respect laws, no fly drones and other people.
Dan… I am new to the drone space as you put it… I have had a few toy quadcopters, but this is my first “real” drone. I bought it off of Amazon in Texas without the flymore kit. I will get it later. I have watched dozens of unboxings and reviews but I wasn’t convinced to buy my Mini SE until after I saw your reviews. Great stuff…! I don’t plan to fly my Mini SE until after I complete your online drone course for beginners. I am signing up for it today. Really excited to see for myself what this Mini SE can do… See ya in class…! RayAA
Awesome! Thanks for sharing Ray, I’m looking forward to your feedback on my course. You will become a fearless drone pilot in no time, happy flying ✈️
It seems a bit overkill to buy a drone course for such a super simple drone. You don't even need to learn any prerequisites as it's that simple.
Nice video! Congrats!
Thank you! Which drone(s) do you own?!
@@DansTubeTV I bought the mini se combo. The video helps me in my first fly 🙏

Mini se vs the ING speed brid (bugs 16)
You're on a budget buying one or the other cause of payment options the $300 being split up in 4-5 payments. So $300 isn't the budget $50-$60 a mth is You're budget.
I got my hands on a cheap mini to hold me off its actually amazing for $35 its a *csj pro* good camera for $35 has 2 actually one is 8mp the other is 5mp 8mim fly a battery you get 2. Folding with a case. Has touch flight and flight routes! But now i want something beefier even more
That’s awesome! Definitely consider the Mini SE 🤔
Hi how to make the video wider/bigger? Thank you
I don’t understand what you are asking? You can film further away from a subject to make the perspective look wider? The sensor is fixed so you don’t have any zooming options.
i have a phantom 3 standard and i think the video/photo quality is really good.
is the mini SE better in video/photo quality?
Hmmm, I can’t comment on that. I’ve never used the Phantom 3. The Mini SE is a great drone but it does have a relatively small camera sensor and lower bitrate than most drones.
Thank you for this review.
No worries!
14:42 Mini Air 2s, Can’t Wait For That DJI :D
Oops, that was a typo 😂
Wait so you have to register it?
Aly
I would recommend registering your drone through CASA’s website (if you live in Australia).
Very thorough review! But was that Emeryville?! I love to see fellow Bay Area folks on YT!
Thanks for watching. This review was filmed in Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺
@@DansTubeTV 🤦🏾♂️ Oh ok. That place looks just like the marina I was at a few days ago. A couple of your shots looks similar to my area. Good stuff nevertheless.
Will this work with an honor 10 lite phone great video
I don’t know about that, try to look into the compatibility on DJI’s website or contact them directly.
Decided to get the drone, it arrived yesterday, I crashed it the same day I got it. I’m still not over it
That’s really sad, I hope that you can get a replacement. That is why I created the Fearless Drone Academy, no one taught you how to fly. If you need some more guidance then my beginners drone course is the place to start: www.fearlessdrone.academy 👈
@@DansTubeTV appreciate it
Will it ever get a digital zoom? Hopefully by software updates..
Maybe but they will probably leave that for the higher end drones. They could do it with a software update but they might not bother.
The Mini SE is a great drone but my only complain is the image transmission system, it is really weak and causes problems.
It can cause problems. OcuSync is a lot more reliable than advanced wifi. I never have issues with range but a lot of people report issues with the range 📶
Hey Dan, I love your vids so much and just bought a mini se yesterday thanks to your videos. Unfortunately it is raining a lot here so I can't fly it yet.
Thanks for the support! The rain can be a pain in the 🍑 I am having the same issue in Brisbane - just got the Mavic 3 but the rain has been persistent 🌧

Mavic mini SE battery will that mavic mini to fit
No, but the Mavic Mini batteries will fit in the Mini SE 😂
Im getting about 40 minutes fly time in smooth mode (C mode)
That doesn’t sound possible? 🤔 How?
Genuine questions. Was there problems whilst flying through areas with lots of buildings around with the SE? Or was it normal.
I try to avoid flying near buildings. I have never had issues with connection/interference with this drone. I fly within line of sight.
the Mini SE and the Mini 2; which is a better drone?
The Mini 2 is the better drone but the Mini SE is perfect for most people 🚀
Hi dan this might be a really stupid question. All the vlogs say about wifi active. My question is,will the drones work if you don’t have signal on your phone ?
Yes, your drone will still work. The WIFI technology is integrated into the controller. Your phone doesn’t need an active connection.

Great video!! Looking for the last couple days for a fishing drone . I’m wanting to stay around 300$ , looked at the Hs700e but dji is pretty kick ass in the industry. Do you think this drone would take out 4oz rig 150 yards out to the ocean , if not could you recommend one in my price range . Thnk u
I don’t know what the payload rating is. I would suggest asking in different drone forums (check Facebook groups). I don’t test what payload drones can carry.
@@DansTubeTV I went with the mavic pro . It’s an older model but looks like from videos I’ve watched. It’s still a pretty nice drone. Thnk u for the response
Im gonna buy the mini se, i would like to have the ocusync and raw pictures but it is what it is, my first good drone and the se is anyway good👍
The SE is a great first drone, you’ll love it. If you need anymore support or guidance with your first drone then my beginners drone course is the perfect place to start: www.fearlessdrone.academy 👈
So i can get a the original mini fly more combo for less than the se base price or the mini se fly more for £100 more what would you suggest
I would get the Mini SE. The improved wind resistance is a big calling card for a drone 🚀
@@DansTubeTV awesome thank you
Wonderful share
Thank you!
Thank you, Dan, for a great article. My first drone, the DJI Mini SE, is scheduled to arrive this afternoon. I am eager to get started. I already qualified for the FAA "TRUST" Certificate so I am legally ready to fly.

Hello, new subscriber here... question: is this ok with Micro USB phone?
If you have a look on the DJI website and find the Mini SE. Once you click on the store, it will show you what you get with the drone. I believe that they include a micro USB attachment cable.
dan ? have you tried the yagi antenna ? apparently they take alot of stutter out of the video recorder with the boosted rf , i just bought the se , waiting on it now , as well as the yagi and the reflector shield , so ill see if theres a big difference , oh btw i got my fly more pack for $569.. from south aus ,

@@DansTubeTV was just there checking it out , thank you . ill definitely try the boosters and let you know how they go . all my gear should be here this week . so hopefully the weekend will be nice to try it out . and ill get back to you . cheers Dan
@@DansTubeTV i actually have a zino pro as well , great drone , crap firmware , which led to it dropping out of the sky saying the battery was dead , when i still had 43% left lol . which ruined the drone . was going to cost more to fix than replace and it wouldnt fix the firmware so i gave up on it , would have got the zino mini except i dont trust them now , so i went with dji , they have great products and i can get parts and service easily . so as long as it performs good , ill be a dji fan lol . 😅

@@DansTubeTV ok sir thanks a lot
Is it a good replacement for mavic air 1?
No, not really. I would prefer the original Mavic Air. The upcoming Mini 3 on the other hand, might be a different story 🧐
@@DansTubeTV Pls explain why?
Many reason, the Mavic Air has a lot more to offer in terms of features and modes. It also has sensors and tracking modes - the Mini SE is a very basic drone.
I bought a miniSe 1month ago after all updates and all process with excite..engine error..didnt land up and I brang the product to the store..it was horrible 1month take to have a new dron very bad service they giving in Croatia sending to Hungary..saying I dont know...now its on the charge and Im not sure what Im gonna see..I will write another comment.. ps.it was my first dron experiment..still 1st :)

what wind speed and max gusts would you be comfortable flying this in? thanks!
I had the same question…I got the mini 2 same motor spec’s…it absolutely handles well in winds up to 25mph …I was so surprised from such a small beast …
I would fly in 25-30km winds but I would test the responsiveness and wind direction before flying. I would also stay relatively close to the controller in high winds but it can handle them really well 💨
Hey Dan, fantastic informative video, and can see a few of my favourite places around Brisbane as well! I found your video perfect as I am looking at getting a drone for the family at Xmas, my daughter who is 9 is interested in tech as I am so win win... Santa comes to me as well! I was considering the Mini 2 but as you pointed out the enhanced wifi is fine as it needs to line of sight anyway... Keep up the great work mate!

Hey Dan, Great review, just a quick question. All the clips in the video, where you were flying over water and through trees, were you using the camera on the mini se?
Thanks for watching, from my understanding all of the footage is from the Mini SE. My editor worked on this video so he might have added other clips from different drones but I don’t think so.
Thanks so much for a great review, and tips. I've got the Dji Mini Se but worried about first flight. I'm going to check your other videos and your site. Regarding the smartphone what fits into the control pad at the bottom, what size phone will it go upto. I have a Google Pixel 6, at 6.4 inch, and my favourite phone for nice big screen, Motorola G5G Plus. Problem is, the screen is a 6.7inch screen, but I love it. Yes, the pixel 6 is a better screen spec wise, but I do love my Motorola. So, could you please let me no, what size screen I.e will a 6.4 in h be fine, and, is there anything I can buy to attach my 6.7 inch Motorola g 5G Plus to the dji controller. Appreciate you help, and tips. Thanking you.

I live in the US with very forested areas I'd like to fly. How do you compare the SE to 2 with transmission in forested areas? I need to stay on budget, but if I am always losing transmission, it might be worth the upgrade to the mini 2. Thanks for your thoughts.
I find that interference becomes an issue in suburban areas. If the forest is extremely dense then you might have issues with the SE 🌲 If you can afford the Mini 2 then it might be worth the extra money!
