for someone thats been trying out the cheap amazon chinesium drones this is the chance to get your hands on a serious piece of DJI kit i absoluteley love it
Just ordered the mini 2se, as my first drone. I understand it doesn't have collision avoidance, but as a beginner I need to learn how to fly it and be aware of my surroundings and have fun and not rely on technology to help me out.😊
I just bought one of these drones and I just love it!!! Its perfect for what I want to use it for. Its easy to use and was better than I thought it would be. I bought some cheap $50 drones and they were awful!! I had fun crashing into stuff though.
This drone is a great starter point. I’m glad that you’re happy. Check out my drone course if you want to get more out of your drone: www.fearlessdrone.academy
Honestly, people charge all crazy amounts for drone footage with fancy drones, and I'm more impressed with this little drone's footage than their work. It's like a no brainer for social media content.
Fair review. Personally I had the original SE and now the @ SE. Biggest difference to me is confidence in signal strengh of ocusinc 2.0. Granted line of sight means that signal strength is kind of redundant, but it's nice to know that if anything negative occurs the back up of extra signal strength is there. As for video resolution....I get that 4k is better than 2,7k......but realistically an extra £200odd GBP is better in my pocket than the Mini 3 is worth to me (granted the Mini 2 spans the price gap, but personally \I prefer a newer released tech. The |mini 2 does have extra, but not enough for my money. So to me the choice is easy, either choose to save a lot of money and buy the Mini 2 SE or go for the Mini 3 Pro with the upgraded RC and shell out almost double the price. I'm guessing though that if you've not had a drone then you may as well go for the 2 SE for now, then once your hooked on the hobby, sell the 2 SE and buy the 3 Pro. ......OR if you've more money then sense just go straight Mini 3 Pro. Sounds very black and white, but the original SE, 2 and 3 aren't worth the slight price incremental......and if money really isn't an issue......go for broke and get the new MAVIC 3 (but chances are if you've that much money to throw around your probs gunna get bored and move on pretty quick (according to modern day psychology of spending that is. ANYWAY.....POINT IS.....THANKS DAN......TOP CHANNEL......WELL DONE.
Haha! Thanks for commenting 💬 What drone do you own? You are dead on with your comment, most people will be happy with the Mini 2 SE and then upgrade. If you’re based in Australia, I have some sweet drone deals available for subscribers: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
This has really helped me decide on buying one. You nailed my reason (Never flown a drone but clients want me to shoot film and I need this for quick B-Roll clips). Can't wait to get my hands on it. Thank you for such a great video. The point about future updates etc. due to it being a new release was a very good point too! Cheers Man. 💯😁

Yes! Good plan 👍 My drone course will help you build the confidence that you need to fly your drone: www.fearlessdrone.academy (use code DANSTUBE to save some money).
just got this 3 weeks ago and its so fun and easy to use. the 2.7k to 1080 i see no difference when watching the vids. i ordered a few extra wing sets and the wing guards and still waiting for them to come in. i just ordered the guards just to use when using it buy obstacles.
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm glad I come across them they are extremely helpful and oh my goodness the views that you record are breathtaking
As a beginner drone flyer, my main concern would be the lack of "obstacle avoidance" as I feel that feature would be essential for a novice. For me, not having it would be like driving without a seat belt🤔
You nailed it my friend, this drone was made for me - the beginner who has never owned a drone before and sure won’t be my last. Excellent review, you articulated many points that solidified in my mind this was the right purchase. I an eagerly awaiting my mini 2 se to be delivered this morning.

Hi Dan, I am in England, and found your review very helpful as I am about to buy my first drone. I was fortunate to meet a guy on holiday who gave me a few minutes tuition on the dji 2, wow, how simple was that for a 74 year old! I live close to a large docks, and want to capture photos rather than video, of ships on the move, and your review has convinced me to go for the 2SE. I regularly contribute my photos to a shipping magazine here in the UK, they mostly print photos about 4x2 inches, so this seems a bit wasteful as I have a top end Canon DSLR, so I reckon the 2SE photos should be great for this size. Your stills at the start of your review are very sharp, and convinces me this is the way to go. Should I use a filter as most shots will be over water? Thanks Dan. From Phil, in England
Hey Phil, thanks for the comment! This drone should do the job for stills, the Mini 3 or Mini 3 Pro have 48MP still options which is another level up but the Mini 2 SE can still do a decent job. Filters can definitely help over water. If you need anymore help then check out my drone course: www.fearlessdrone.academy
Dont think they will. I think the standard Mini 3 is the "SE" version. Basically a watered down version of the Mini 3 Pro just like the Mini 2 SE is to the Mini 2. They released the Mini 3 Pro and then later the Mini 3.
Is there any diff between Mini 2 and Mini 2 SE about video color, contrast and shatpness without 4K? Plz ans...I think only resoulation is diff. Isnt it? is there any major diff between between bitrate 100 and 40
Great job. Well done review, although i would have to say the DJI MINI 2 Has been a top seller for DJI for many years and i doubt if they will ever take it off the market. Fly safe, Keep up the good work.
Yup! I have some awesome drone bundles available for subscribers as well, if you or someone you know wants a drone - definitely go here first: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
Thanks for the info, i bought a mini 2se and can not find any reliable info on what phone to use with the controller . people keep giving contradictory advise. i have a phone after a cheap phone to use with the drone. Could you please suggest some options , Thanks
I thought I recognised that scenery, it's the Birkdale and Wellington Point area! I have thought about a cheaper drone with slightly better picture quality than the sub-$100 drones I've looked at. This one might be worth considering.
Definitely, this could be a great starting point. I would suggest this drone to most beginners. You can use the code DANSTUBE on www.d1store.com.au/ to save some money or you can check out my exclusive drone bundles for subscribers here: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
Great video, very informative. I'm very unimpressed with the Mini 2 SE - The drone is fantastic but the camera is essentially mid-tier logitech webcam quality. Decent photos but terrible video quality
It certainly is a good deal! Check out my exclusive subscriber combos, you can even get a unique Mini 2 SE combo: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
Amazing scenery and great footage! I subscribed to see more Videos made by you. Dji Mini 2 is an awesome little drone. I own one myself too und create cinematic Videos. Keep it up bro!
Excuse me, it is not a critic, but some images (videos) are blurry, does the drone make auto-focus or it is possible to make a manual focus from the controller or the phone? Thank you in advance
That’s awesome! What a deal 💰 If you need anymore guidance, resources or insights then my drone course has got you covered: www.fearlessdrone.academy 🚀
just got a used Mavic mini a couple of days ago for $200 and honestly for a $600 difference their is no way I'd pay that much for the same thing just re branded. If anything I'd invest in the mini 3 pro.
I bought new Dji mini 2 se my first flight I lost the drone and never found it because I did not update the home point before flying and it was very windy
Do you recommend the fly more kit? Tempted because the costs of the extra batteries and the case are more to purchase individually than the kit itself.
Thanks for the video. Nice job as always. I have owned a Mini SE for about 10 months now. I really enjoy it and like the fact that it works with Litchi. Have you tried using the Mini 2 SE with Litchi yet? If it works with Litchi I may upgrade to the Mini 2 SE for the Ocusync transmission technology.
I haven’t tested this yet. I don’t believe that it would be compatible though. I would suggest going for the Mini 2 or Mini 3, the Mini 2 SE isn’t much of an upgrade.
It not being compatible with Litchi app was a big disappointment to me. If I would have known that, I wouldn't have bought it. My original mini se with the litchi app was way more capable, versatile and fun.
Great review Dan. But, is DJI just trying to flog off old chassis. If you look at the front the light bar from the mini 2 has been removed so I wonder if it’s old mini SE chassis with mini 2 internals. IMHO, (and I know it doesn’t count for much in the bigger picture), but I feel that if DJI wanted “steal” the new beginner’s market with a mini drone they should have reduced the price of the mini 2 instead of doing an Apple to offload unused chassis
I would recommend the Mini 3 for the improved camera and battery life. They also recently added 48MP photo support to the Mini 3. You can also use Litchi or Dronelink to unlock waypoints and follow me modes once the Mini 3 Series receives full SDK support. If you’re based in Australia then I have some awesome drone deals available for my audience through the D1 Store. You can also use the code DANSTUBE on their website to save some money!
They should sack the marketing guy at dji it took videos like this and many hours to work out what the differences are especially if you include the original mavic mini in that as well....Honestly I don't care about any of the differences because they are so small apart from the occusync.
Hmmm, it should be able to hold it. You can get add on mounts for iPads and larger phones/tablets. You can download footage directly to your phone. Check out my drone course, tips and resources here: linktr.ee/danstubetv
You can request access to no fly zones through the app. You should be able to fly in most areas with a sub 250g drone. You can also use the code DANSTUBE on the D1 Store when purchasing future drones and accessories to save some money. I also created the ultimate drone course for beginners, check it out: www.fearlessdrone.academy
I live in Norway, they have prices the Mini 2 SE same price as the Mini 2..... they are both for 600$ flymore combo... Dont know who would buy the SE 2 over a Mini 2.... no 4k vs 4k video...
Mini 2 can capture 4K and Mini 2 SE can capture 2.7K. I have some awesome deals on drones, they are exclusively available for my subscribers: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
I lost my DJI Mini SE drone. It fell into a lake after a bird strike. I've been wondering, is it possible to use a Mini 2 SE with a Mini SE controller?
Brilliant review Dan!; covered off on all the aspects of "fit for purpose" and who should consider purchasing; also thought Camera still / video imaging looked great!; as an aside ; I purchased (again, have had in the past approx. 12 of these!!!) recently the original Mini 1 for "old times sake" ! ; did some comparison 2.7 k footage against the Min 3 Pro and its very difficult to pick between them !!!
Hi there,Could u pls tell me whether I should buy the DJI mini 2 or mini 2 se,I am a beginner(I do know basic flying tho) but this will be my first DJI drone.I do know that the main difference is the camera but is 4K really usable practically in terms of storage or quality? And is there a major difference in repair costs between the two because it has a better camera and a led at the front if it matters? Pls tell me this I would really appreciate it!
You are correct, the main difference is the 4K camera. The file sizes will be larger and the quality is better on the Mini 2. The Mini 2 has been discontinued so it might be hard to get your hands on. The Mini 2 SE is going to be supported for longer but you are missing out on the 4K video quality. I would suggest the Mini 2: amzn.to/4aLJRXp
Thanks for the video! I just sold my mini 2 and remain with the mavic 2 pro. I will order the avata and I’m debating between selling my mavic 2 pro and buy 1 mavic 3 pro, or keep my 2 pro where I have 3 batteries and all the acc? What to do? Please, help! :) or buy the mavic 3 classic?😂 I do a lot of shoots in the city for weddings.
I honestly think that the Mavic 2 Pro and the Mini 3 Pro would be the best combo. If you’re based in Australia, I have some exclusive drone combos for subscribers: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
Thanks for these tips! Help me decideeeee :) I'm considering buying my first dji drone and I'm confused. Considering that I want to spend the less possible (I will use it for leisure) but that I also would like to have a "good" drone, I am undecided between the dji mini 3 (drone only) and the dji mini 2 SE "fly more" (with three batteries), which are close in price in Italy. Which do you think would be better to buy? The choice would be between more battery and more camera quality.. maybe I should consider to buy the basic mini 3 + an additional battery in order to spend less but still have more battery?
Hey mate! I would suggest getting the Mini 3 + an additional battery. It is well worth the upgrade from the Mini 2 SE to the Mini 3. If you need anymore help once you get your drone then my drone course has got you covered: www.fearlessdrone.academy 🚀
The Mini 2 SE doesn't have ocusync right? That's my biggest concern. Even with the high quality products that DJI creates, my worst nightmare is losing connectivity because of some fluke error that occurs. That being said, what was your experience like with connectivity? If I get one I plan to fly it in more urban areas with a lot of interference.
Connectivity and range have never been an issue for the Mini 2 SE. I have been impressed. My drone course would help you overcome your fears: linktr.ee/danstubetv
How to register where to register? I live in pakistan and I hope u might know something but I keep travelling around the world so is it allowed to carry everywhere and use it in other countries?
You should be able to the take the drone with you as a carry on and I would suggest looking at the aviation site for Pakistan. It will be a government site.
Yes! Do you live local? If you are upgrading drones anytime soon then check out my exclusive subscribers combos: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
i dont understand this, i got a mini 2 se and ive seen people get up to 5km easily and i cant go past 200m and at about 150 the bars go yellow and i just randomly lose connection, I fly in the uk but still this range is outrageous. Can anyone help me on this?
That is weird, have you made sure that you’re not flying near anything that might be blocking your signal? Have you flown in different locations and had the same results?

You can record your phone screen.
Was that wello point in the vid
Yes 🙌☀️
In the UK the mini 2 se is £309 and for the fly more combo is £400 or more
It is a decent drone. Would this be your first drone?
You are right, mini 2 and mini se is out of sale now.
Yeah, the Mini 2 SE is still a good option.
which is better the dji mini 2 se or the fimi x8 se 2022 v2 ?
I haven’t used the Fimi x8 so I can’t comment. The Mini 2 SE is a great beginner drone 🚀
I am waiting for mini 3 se.
Great review
Dont think they will.
I think the standard Mini 3 is the "SE" version. Basically a watered down version of the Mini 3 Pro just like the Mini 2 SE is to the Mini 2. They released the Mini 3 Pro and then later the Mini 3.
Is there any diff between Mini 2 and Mini 2 SE about video color, contrast and shatpness without 4K? Plz ans...I think only resoulation is diff. Isnt it? is there any major diff between between bitrate 100 and 40
The 4K video and video bitrate of 100 Mbps will make a big difference. Get the Mini 2 if you can find one.
Great job. Well done review, although i would have to say the DJI MINI 2 Has been a top seller for DJI for many years and i doubt if they will ever take it off the market. Fly safe, Keep up the good work.
Good point, they might remove the Mini SE as the Mini 2 SE technically replaces it.
Yup! I have some awesome drone bundles available for subscribers as well, if you or someone you know wants a drone - definitely go here first: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
Thanks for the info, i bought a mini 2se and can not find any reliable info on what phone to use with the controller . people keep giving contradictory advise. i have a phone after a cheap phone to use with the drone. Could you please suggest some options , Thanks
I don’t know exactly. I use an iPhone 14, I’ve never used another phone. Contact DJI directly.
I thought I recognised that scenery, it's the Birkdale and Wellington Point area!
I have thought about a cheaper drone with slightly better picture quality than the sub-$100 drones I've looked at. This one might be worth considering.
Definitely, this could be a great starting point. I would suggest this drone to most beginners. You can use the code DANSTUBE on www.d1store.com.au/ to save some money or you can check out my exclusive drone bundles for subscribers here: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
Great video, very informative.
I'm very unimpressed with the Mini 2 SE - The drone is fantastic but the camera is essentially mid-tier logitech webcam quality.
Decent photos but terrible video quality
Interesting perspective, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have more drone resources, deals and insights here: linktr.ee/danstubetv
first i want to buy dji mini 2 because of 4k resolution vid but this mini 2 se is good even it is only 2.7k resolution vid its good for budget money
It certainly is a good deal! Check out my exclusive subscriber combos, you can even get a unique Mini 2 SE combo: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
Thank you Dan 😊
Of course! Thank you for watching 👀
Amazing scenery and great footage! I subscribed to see more Videos made by you. Dji Mini 2 is an awesome little drone. I own one myself too und create cinematic Videos. Keep it up bro!
Awesome! Thanks for watching 👀
Will this drone follow you if walking of boating, etc
No, it does not offer any following modes.
Thanks for this review, really helpful. The follow mode is really a deal breaker for me
I can understand that, what are you going to get? 🤔
Excuse me, it is not a critic, but some images (videos) are blurry, does the drone make auto-focus or it is possible to make a manual focus from the controller or the phone? Thank you in advance
The drone should theoretically have infinite focus, unless you use manual focus. I didn’t notice any out of focus shots.
I got my mini 2SE for 200$ new in that box from a client at my job wanting to sell
I love it
That’s awesome! What a deal 💰 If you need anymore guidance, resources or insights then my drone course has got you covered: www.fearlessdrone.academy 🚀
just got a used Mavic mini a couple of days ago for $200 and honestly for a $600 difference their is no way I'd pay that much for the same thing just re branded. If anything I'd invest in the mini 3 pro.
Yes, you do make a good point!
Mini 3 pro is $900. For that price might as well get a air 2s.
if you buy the drone does it come with a battery charger or do I have to buy the fly more set??
You will need the Fly More Combo for the charging hub.
hi Dan, thank you for your video, I'm biggener I want to buy a drone, cfly faith 2 pro or Dji mini 2 se which one you suggest?
appreciate it...
The Mini 2 SE is a safe bet. Connect with me here: linktr.ee/danstubetv
Excellent presentation, very helpful
I’m glad 😀 thanks for watching 👀
Hello Dans, is the Mini 2 SE compatible with the Maven Pilot? Thanks.
No, the SDK for the Mini 2 SE has not been released by DJI.
I bought new Dji mini 2 se my first flight I lost the drone and never found it because I did not update the home point before flying and it was very windy
Ohhhh, that’s not good! What are you going to do?
What is different of mini 2 than min 2 se
You can compare the drones here: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
Sir hi I too have dji mini 2 se plz help in changing of 15mtrs altitude please sir
Make sure that you’ve logged into your DJI account. That will remove the 15M restriction.
Nice videos,, i want ask, can that drone survive/still at High wind condition? Cause i see u fly on the sea...
Yes! It can handle strong winds with ease 💨
Hi Dan. Does MINI 2 SE can achieve follow-me mode and active track trough third party apps? :) Btw, great video. :)
No, not yet. Hopefully in the future 🤞 Thanks for watching and commenting 💬
Do you recommend the fly more kit? Tempted because the costs of the extra batteries and the case are more to purchase individually than the kit itself.
Yes, the Fly More Combo is well worth the extra money. I have included links to some combos in my video description.
At the end of the day it's price, for my use. I have the Mini 2 and i only ever film in 1080p, good enough for my videos.
Yes, that will do the job 💪
Looks like a great drone for the price
Yes 🙌
Thanks for the video. Nice job as always. I have owned a Mini SE for about 10 months now. I really enjoy it and like the fact that it works with Litchi. Have you tried using the Mini 2 SE with Litchi yet? If it works with Litchi I may upgrade to the Mini 2 SE for the Ocusync transmission technology.
I haven’t tested this yet. I don’t believe that it would be compatible though. I would suggest going for the Mini 2 or Mini 3, the Mini 2 SE isn’t much of an upgrade.
Mini 2 SE don't work with Litchi. No sdk for the mini 2 se. I wait and see if they release a sdk for the mini 2 se.
It not being compatible with Litchi app was a big disappointment to me. If I would have known that, I wouldn't have bought it. My original mini se with the litchi app was way more capable, versatile and fun.
Yes, good point. I was disappointed as well.
Great review Dan. But, is DJI just trying to flog off old chassis. If you look at the front the light bar from the mini 2 has been removed so I wonder if it’s old mini SE chassis with mini 2 internals. IMHO, (and I know it doesn’t count for much in the bigger picture), but I feel that if DJI wanted “steal” the new beginner’s market with a mini drone they should have reduced the price of the mini 2 instead of doing an Apple to offload unused chassis
Yes, this is a very weird move. I would prefer to see a new beginner drone or lower the price of the Mini 2.
Mini 2 SE with fly more combo OR mini 3 with RC N1 controller ?
I would recommend the Mini 3 for the improved camera and battery life. They also recently added 48MP photo support to the Mini 3. You can also use Litchi or Dronelink to unlock waypoints and follow me modes once the Mini 3 Series receives full SDK support.
If you’re based in Australia then I have some awesome drone deals available for my audience through the D1 Store. You can also use the code DANSTUBE on their website to save some money!
They should sack the marketing guy at dji it took videos like this and many hours to work out what the differences are especially if you include the original mavic mini in that as well....Honestly I don't care about any of the differences because they are so small apart from the occusync.
Agreed, this was a confusing release.
Which one can carry more ? Looking for a fishing one
The larger drones can typically carry more. Check out the Air 3?
Hi, good vidio very helpful
will the controller hold a large phone S24 ultra , and can footage be uploaded straight to the phone
Hmmm, it should be able to hold it. You can get add on mounts for iPads and larger phones/tablets. You can download footage directly to your phone. Check out my drone course, tips and resources here: linktr.ee/danstubetv
Very good video Dan can you fly these in Sydney area as just about all of it is NFZ Ive ordered one and hope I can do it here.
You can request access to no fly zones through the app. You should be able to fly in most areas with a sub 250g drone. You can also use the code DANSTUBE on the D1 Store when purchasing future drones and accessories to save some money.
I also created the ultimate drone course for beginners, check it out: www.fearlessdrone.academy
I live in Norway, they have prices the Mini 2 SE same price as the Mini 2..... they are both for 600$ flymore combo... Dont know who would buy the SE 2 over a Mini 2....
no 4k vs 4k video...
The Mini 2 is the one to get 👌
Mini SE and Mini 2 are listed as supported by Dronelink. Is this mini 2 SE also supported?
I don’t believe so, not yet anyway.
Good info bro...
Thanks bro!
Hey bro. Could you tell me which drone has better video detail. Mini 2 or mini 2 SE please reply.
Mini 2 can capture 4K and Mini 2 SE can capture 2.7K. I have some awesome deals on drones, they are exclusively available for my subscribers: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
I lost my DJI Mini SE drone. It fell into a lake after a bird strike. I've been wondering, is it possible to use a Mini 2 SE with a Mini SE controller?
That’s unfortunate 😔 I don’t believe that you can use the older controller design.
Nice Video.
Thank you mate!
I'm in the USA and I can't find the dji mini 2 se anywhere. But the Dji mini 3 is available.
You can buy the Mini 2 SE here: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/packages/dji-mini-2-se-subcribers-bundle
Brilliant review Dan!; covered off on all the aspects of "fit for purpose" and who should consider purchasing; also thought Camera still / video imaging looked great!; as an aside ; I purchased (again, have had in the past approx. 12 of these!!!) recently the original Mini 1 for "old times sake" ! ; did some comparison 2.7 k footage against the Min 3 Pro and its very difficult to pick between them !!!
Yes, this drone is a decent beginner drone for a lot of people. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts and comparison.
Hi there,Could u pls tell me whether I should buy the DJI mini 2 or mini 2 se,I am a beginner(I do know basic flying tho) but this will be my first DJI drone.I do know that the main difference is the camera but is 4K really usable practically in terms of storage or quality? And is there a major difference in repair costs between the two because it has a better camera and a led at the front if it matters? Pls tell me this I would really appreciate it!
You are correct, the main difference is the 4K camera. The file sizes will be larger and the quality is better on the Mini 2. The Mini 2 has been discontinued so it might be hard to get your hands on. The Mini 2 SE is going to be supported for longer but you are missing out on the 4K video quality. I would suggest the Mini 2: amzn.to/4aLJRXp
Thanks for the video! I just sold my mini 2 and remain with the mavic 2 pro.
I will order the avata and I’m debating between selling my mavic 2 pro and buy 1 mavic 3 pro, or keep my 2 pro where I have 3 batteries and all the acc? What to do? Please, help! :) or buy the mavic 3 classic?😂 I do a lot of shoots in the city for weddings.
I honestly think that the Mavic 2 Pro and the Mini 3 Pro would be the best combo. If you’re based in Australia, I have some exclusive drone combos for subscribers: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/category/danstube
Is it still worth it to buy the mini se?. It is a $30 difference. I didn’t want to put more than $300 on a drone.
The Mini 2 SE is the one to get. You can use the code DANSTUBE to save some money on the D1 Stores website: www.d1store.com.au
Thanks for these tips! Help me decideeeee :)
I'm considering buying my first dji drone and I'm confused. Considering that I want to spend the less possible (I will use it for leisure) but that I also would like to have a "good" drone, I am undecided between the dji mini 3 (drone only) and the dji mini 2 SE "fly more" (with three batteries), which are close in price in Italy. Which do you think would be better to buy?
The choice would be between more battery and more camera quality.. maybe I should consider to buy the basic mini 3 + an additional battery in order to spend less but still have more battery?
Hey mate! I would suggest getting the Mini 3 + an additional battery. It is well worth the upgrade from the Mini 2 SE to the Mini 3. If you need anymore help once you get your drone then my drone course has got you covered: www.fearlessdrone.academy 🚀
The Mini 2 SE doesn't have ocusync right? That's my biggest concern. Even with the high quality products that DJI creates, my worst nightmare is losing connectivity because of some fluke error that occurs. That being said, what was your experience like with connectivity? If I get one I plan to fly it in more urban areas with a lot of interference.
Connectivity and range have never been an issue for the Mini 2 SE. I have been impressed. My drone course would help you overcome your fears: linktr.ee/danstubetv
Mini 2 se has ocusync
Can the Mini 2 SE take photos in RAW format? Thank you
Yes! 📸 🙌
Does this have 60fps. Thanks.
60fps in 1080p but only 30fps in 2.7K.
Looks like they slapped on the SE sticker on Mini 2 and downgrade the features which are all software based.
At least we have a cheaper Mini 2 now 😂
Yes, that’s right. Although this drone now does not have 4K so it is more of an SE upgrade than a Mini 2 alternative.
How to register where to register? I live in pakistan and I hope u might know something but I keep travelling around the world so is it allowed to carry everywhere and use it in other countries?
You should be able to the take the drone with you as a carry on and I would suggest looking at the aviation site for Pakistan. It will be a government site.
Wello point 👌🏻

Awesome! Thanks for watching 👀
How is it's night footage in comparison to mini 2 and mini 1 ?
I don’t record at night so I can’t comment on that. It is illegal to fly at night if you do not have approval.
Hi there. Storing the battery fully charged in the drone? Are there any issues with this?
No, you just don’t want to let your batteries discharge completely. Keep them charged and stored in a cool dry place.
Do you shoot raw photos and use Lightroom? What cameraraw are you using?
I don’t use Lightroom and I normally shoot RAW + JPEG.
Good scout drone.
Yes 😉
Hey mate. And what is official price from Dji store ? Can’t find it
$799 AUD for the Fly More Combo: www.d1store.com.au/mobile/products/dji-mini-2-se-combo
Use the code DANSTUBE to save some money.
Is it also supported by Dronelink?
Not yet. I don’t believe.
Hey Dan any word if the mini 2 se will have litchie support ?
Nothing yet.
i dont understand this, i got a mini 2 se and ive seen people get up to 5km easily and i cant go past 200m and at about 150 the bars go yellow and i just randomly lose connection, I fly in the uk but still this range is outrageous. Can anyone help me on this?
That is weird, have you made sure that you’re not flying near anything that might be blocking your signal? Have you flown in different locations and had the same results?
I have bought my DJI mini 2 se 12 days ago. I’m new to drones but I have flown 1.5 km away. I still had full signal strength.
Nice one! I have some drone resources here that might help you: linktr.ee/danstubetv
Basically it's the Mini 2 minus the 4k capability at a lower price point. SE might mean "stripped down edition" 😁
Yes, basically 😂
