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!
