DJI Mini 2 SE | Great Entry-level Mini Drone

Get Cinematic Shots With a Single Touch

Dronie

DJI Mini 2 SE's camera centers on the subject as the aircraft travels backward at an incline. Dronie creates a natural panning-out effect to capture the subject and the scenery around it effortlessly. The shot helps develop a sense of scale and grandeur in any location.
Helix

DJI Mini 2 SE ascends while flying in a spiral that expands gradually with the camera centered on the subject. The pilot can select a clockwise or counter-clockwise helix. The shot captured with Helix allows the pilot to create a shot that blends the subject's interaction with the environment instead of solely focusing on the subject alone.
Rocket

DJI Mini 2 SE's camera focuses downward on the subject as the aircraft ascends rapidly. Whether your subject is in a crowded or empty space, this can give your video a sense of density as the camera keeps the subject centered and pans out directly overhead, enclosing it in its surroundings.
Circle

DJI Mini 2 SE's camera centers on the subject and circles around it once at a constant altitude. The pilot can select a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. Circle creates a shot that captures the subject from every angle in the environment, enhancing the subject's presence in its surroundings.
Boomerang

DJI Mini 2 SE flies around the subject in an oval path, ascending as it flies away and descending as it returns. The pilot selects a subject, and the camera captures a quick shot highlighting the importance of the subject in the location in a dynamic way that increases the focus on the subject.
Panorama

Select from Sphere, Wide Angle, and 180° panoramas, and Mini 2 SE will do the rest, generating a panoramic masterpiece effortlessly with one tap. The different Panorama effects allow you to capture classic panoramic and other panoramic images with a wide-angle or spherical effect without having to do any photo editing in post.

Amazing First Drone

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2024

Style: DJI Mini 2 SE (31-min)Verified Purchase

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.

Hands down the easiest set up and operation. And, so much fun for my 10 yr old son and I.

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2024

Style: Mini 4K Fly More Combo (93-min)Verified Purchase

This drone is under 250 grams in weight so, you will not have to register it with the FAA. The camera is 4k UHD, amazing quality! The most stabilized and accurate flying I've ever experienced with a drone. This product is top of the line and at a GREAT value. DO NOT, however, purchase the Asurion protection plan. You're better off using Best Buy and price matching the Asurion price. Filing a claim is nearly impossible with that company. 100% recommend the DJI Mini 4K to any user, young and old!

Great First Drone Package

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024

Style: DJI Mini 2 SE Fly More Combo (93-min)Verified Purchase

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.

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024

Style: Mini 4K (31-min)Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

Holy cow, this drone is AMAZING! It’s sturdy, compact, lightweight, and the picture quality is absolutely STUNNING.

Easy to fly —
This was my first drone and the instructions were a bit difficult to follow for the first test flight. It took some trial & error - and a bit of googling - before I got it to connect for that first time. But once I figured it out it was super easy to fly and I haven’t had any issues with connecting and getting it going since.

Lightweight yet strong & steady —
I hiked with this thing up a 1200ft mountain peak and I couldn’t even tell I had the extra weight on me because it’s so light. I had some wind gusts but this little drone powered right through them and remained steady.

As others have mentioned, the only downside is battery life. The handheld controller battery will last hours, but the drone will only get about 30 minutes of flying on a full charge. But, in my opinion, the long list of pros (quality of both picture and product, ease of flight, etc) outweigh the con of short battery life. You can always buy more batteries and switch them out if you want longer flight time!

Just add it to your cart - you won’t regret it.

Reviewed in Canada on June 30, 2024

Style: DJI Mini 2 SE Fly More Combo (93-min)Verified Purchase

Everything with it is amazing and simple. 2 things I found strange was the " DJI FLY " app you have to download off the web, then it prompts that it is unsafe to use? And the battery door feels rather flimsy. Apart from that flight is very easy, and the wind resistant and hovering is astonishing for the price, "holy stone" was a drone in which is also present in the range but I found it tended to drift alot to the left in the air even after updates or calibration. Lastly the photos, low light is okay, but If you even have a rookie level of photo touch up you can make it look amazing, there's lots of photo features available. Overall really amazing drone for the price, extremely fun and easy to use in my opinion! Il make a vedio on YouTube about it.
