DJI 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

The media could not be loaded. 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.

The DJI Mini 2 SE is an incredible drone packed into a compact, lightweight design. It delivers stunning video quality, stable flight, and impressive range—all in a beginner-friendly package. Don’t let the size fool you; this drone performs like a much more expensive model. It’s the perfect balance of portability, performance, and value. A true standout in its class.

Just got my hands on the DJI Mini 2 SE drone, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! This little guy is small enough to fit in a small compartment of a backpack, but it's got some serious skills up its sleeve. I have tried several other types of drones with limited success. This drone changed all that!First off, the camera quality is really good. I'm certainly no pro photographer, but the shots I've been getting are pretty impressive. The 12MP sensor captures every detail, and the 3-axis gimbal keeps things steady, even when the wind is acting up. Speaking of wind, I was very surprised at how stable the drone and the camera shots are event in windy conditions.Compared to other drones that I have used, this one is easy to set up, and easy to get in the air without a lot of steps. The DJI Fly app is easy to navigate and you don't have to worry about a million setting to change to get in the air, or even while flying.Battery life is solid too. The battery says that it will last up to 31 minutes, which is better than most of the drones that I have seen. I actually get about 23-25 minutes on each charge, but I do tend to do a lot of maneuvering which limits battery time. The app has a nice feature where it will give you an estimated flight time remaining based on height and distance of the drone. I have successfully flown the drone several miles from my location and was able to still get crisp clear video.Now, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. One thing I wish it had is obstacle avoidance sensors. I've had a couple of close calls with trees, and it would be nice to have that extra layer of protection, especially for us newbie pilots.Overall, though, I'm seriously impressed with the DJI Mini 2 SE. It's perfect for anyone looking to up their aerial photography game without breaking the bank. With a few tweaks here and there, it could easily become the go-to drone for adventurers everywhere!

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.
