DJI has announced a new version of its entry-level drone, named DJI Mini 2 SE. As the rumors indicated, the device comes with a few upgrades to the current model.

The DJI Mini 2 SE is priced at $369 and will be available for purchase next month. Along with the drone, the company is also selling a Fly More Combo bundle which includes additional batteries, replacement propellers, and a carrying case for $519.

It comes equipped with its in-house OcuSync 2.0 transmission system, enabling the drone to fly more than twice as far away as the original Mini SE, and the “Enhanced WiFi” system has limited its range to up to 4km. The company adds that the system can maintain a more stable video feed at greater distances.

There’s also a new decent camera system found on the drone, which comes with a three-axis gimbal and a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor that is capable of capturing 2.7K video and 12-megapixel still images. It supports HD video transmission at up to 10km (6.2 mi), and Level 5 wind resistance allows the drone to hover steadily in 10.7 m/s (24mph) winds.

As for the battery life, the DJI Mini 2 SE can fly for around 31 minutes on a single battery charge, which is a minute longer than the 30-minute flight time on the previous model. It continues to weigh 249 grams, similar to its predecessor, which means that the device can be used without the need to register it with the Federal Aviation Administration.

There are indications that DJI will launch its first product of 2023 this week. A leak points to the unveiling of the DJI Mini SE drone on February 9.

As per the teaser, the Mini 2 SE will be released on 2023.02.09| at 11:30. Not many surprises are expected from the Mini 2 SE, as per its specs. The product will mainly fill the gap in pricing with more expansive and powerful DJI drones. It will probably feature some tech and component downgrades to suit its price tag.

The trajectory of rumors relating to the DJI Mini 2 SE shows an increasing connection to inside information. Last week, photos of the Mini 2 SE surfaced with specs and high-resolution images of the drone. It weighs below 249g, delivers 2.7K video, and has a flight time of 31 minutes. The drone also has a 10km video transmission capability which is slightly lower than the Mini 2 drone. It may feature an improved camera or come with more powerful connectivity between the drone and its ground controller.

Drone tipsters and industry experts are tipping the DJI Mini 2 SE as the next entrance-level drone from the world’s leading drone maker. Much about the DJI Mini 2 SE still falls under the realm of speculation. Official details will however surface on the eve of its release.
