New DJI Mini 2 SE Breaks $600 / 250g Barrier

Weighing in at less than 249 grams, the Mini 2 SE is an ultraportable, regulation-friendly drone that is exempt from drone regulations in several parts of the world.

Its 1/2.3-inch CMOS camera sensor films video at 2.7k and delivers photos at 12MP. These features and its affordable price point make Mini 2 SE a perfect drone for beginners and experienced drone pilots alike.

I hope to have a review unit soon, but in the interim, here are the details.

Overview

The Mini 2 SE is the latest addition to the DJI Mini Series which provides several smart features, making it easy to use in a wide array of flight scenarios. Mini 2 SE supports up to 10 km of HD video transmission, giving you the ability to fly farther and see clearer, and with a maximum flight time of 31 minutes you’ll be certain to capture your desired image. Alongside the smart features, which allow for ease of flying, the Mini 2 SE offers intelligent features, including QuickShots and Panorama, for more creative shots.
