The DJI Mini 2 SE drone was officially announced on February 9, but it has not yet been sold on the official DJI website or even other dedicated sales channels. The drone is finally starting to sell today, and better than expected with prices starting at $339 internationalonly $40 more expensive than the Mini SE. The previously reported price was $369, but DJI has officially set the price lower and closer to the cheapest model.

Mini 2 SE is another representative of the Mini line. weighing up to 250 grams, with low price attractiveness in the assortment of the company. As a main difference compared to Mini SE, support for communication system OcuSync 2 (O2) between the aircraft and the control system, allowing the aircraft to reach up to 10 km control distance, in addition to better signal stability. I remember that the Mini SE reaches a maximum of 4 km, so the purchase analysis is based on this technology, is it worth paying $40 for a system that allows the drone to fly further and also guarantees better connection stability.

Key Features of the DJI Mini 2 SE Drone:

• Weighs less than 250 grams with a compact design
• Video recording in 2.7K 30 fps / 1080p 60 fps
• 12 megapixel photography

OcuSync 2 / O2

OcuSync 2 technology communicates the drone with the controller, and it is responsible for the distance that the drone can fly, as well as the quality of the images that will be transmitted live from the drone’s camera to the smartphone connected to the controller, in this case 720p.

This was the only change the Mini 2 SE drone actually brought to the Mini SE, apart from other minor optimizations. In addition to a longer distance, this technology also provides much better signal stability than the previous one, so the aircraft does not lose signal as easily at intermediate distances up to the maximum supported by the model.

Another point is that now DJI is standardizing all of its commercial drones in production with RC-N1 control support, which is supported from the cheapest model, in this case the Mini 2 SE, to the most expensive models like the Mavic 3 Cine. .

Mini 2 SE is the Mini SE that flies the furthest

Aside from the communications system that allows the Mini 2 SE to fly longer distances than the Mini SE, everything else is pretty much the same, including camera and drone features.

With the launch of the Mini 2 SE ($339), DJI seems to want to offer a model between the Mini SE ($299) and Mini 2 ($449) in terms of price. The company’s strategy is similar to that of other brands in various product segments, offering a range of products with a smaller price difference between them. The Mini 2 SE Fly More Combo Kit is $489 and the Mini 2 is $599. In favor of the Mini 2 is a better quality camera, a Quick Transfer file transfer system that eliminates the use of cables and greater distance in QuickShots modes.
