DJI’s Mini 2 SE ultraportable drone takes to the skies • TechCrunch
It’s a couple of years since DJI first launched its Mavic Mini, and final yr it introduced the Mini 3 Professional. It’s totally complicated why the present drone is known as the Mini 2 SE, however in any case, it’s the most recent flying creature within the hovering menagerie that’s the DJI line-up.
The drone has a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor that may shoot 12 mpx pictures and might shoot video at 2.8K. Not gonna lie; that’s a curious selection for decision for video and a somewhat odd sensor measurement. The 1/2.3-inch is utilized in compact mirrorless cameras, however most critical photographers are likely to go for bigger sensors for warmth dissipation and higher depth of discipline choices. DJI guarantees all of it is sensible as soon as your palm-sized flying digicam is buzzing about capturing footage.

The digicam is mounted on a complicated gimbal with a 3-axis mechanical stabilization system that guarantees clean photographs even in blustery winds.
The drone is small. Fantastically small. And it weighs solely 249 grams (8.8 ounces), and DJI claims it’s exempt from drone rules in ‘many components of the world.’
Aimed largely on the novice market, DJI’s latest presents one-tap takeoff and touchdown, secure hovering and a ‘return to residence’ characteristic to make flying simpler. The drone helps HD video transmission as much as 10 km (6.2 miles), and a max flight time of simply over half an hour.
DJIs Fly Extra combo contains additional batteries, charging cables, and spare rotor wings in case you aren’t fairly pretty much as good (or fortunate) a pilot as you wished you have been. Picture Credit score: DJI.
The drone itself is priced competitively, at $369, and there’s a “fly extra combo” out there for $519 that features additional batteries, spare rotors, and some different goodies. The brand new quadcopter might be out there beginning March 22.
