That’s a step up from the Mavic Mini, which was limited to 2.7K video. Just like every DJI drone, the Mini 2 can only be used after agreeing to terms & conditions of the DJI Fly app andDJI’s privacy policy which includes collection information such as location information via GPS. Even though the sensor is unchanged, it is now capable of phantom 4 shooting 4K video at 100 Mbps bitrate up to 30fps compared to 2.7K at 60 Mbps that was on the original Mavic Mini. But in my past few weeks with the Mini 2, I rarely even bothered with doing a lot of post-processing of my RAWs. I am usually very happy with what I get directly from the drone and can apply minor edits myself if needed.
Ensure that the propellers and arms are installed securely before each flight. DJI drones have a long list of accessories available to them. Not only does the market catch on and help these popular drones excel, but DJI themselves also put out a great selection of add-ons and replacement parts. The Mini 2 has, so far, overcome all of the video hiccups we identified with the Mavic Mini.
Since we do not stock special order items, the manufacturer will charge us to ship the product back to them. There will be, however, a 15% to 25% restocking fee for us to send the product back to the manufacturer. We will accept returns within 14 days from the date of receipt on unused and unopened items.
Just like the first generation Mavic Mini, the Mini 2 weighs in at 249 grams, or 0.548 lbs, so you do not need to register the Mini 2 with the FAA before you fly. Of course, the moment you add the prop guards, or a heavy decorative sticker, it may tick over and require registration. Part 107 operators need to register regardless the weight. It is small enough to nearly fit in your pocket, yet it is powerful enough to fly several kilometers away, and film everything in 4K resolution.

You’ll notice a thin line along the middle-right side, that’s the gimbal pitch (up/down). I’ll get more into the photographic bits in the next section. However, the batteries are very slightly different in terms of amperage. You can however use the Mini 2 charging system to charge the Mavic Mini 1 batteries – I tried that. Also, I tried swapping the two and I was able to fly just fine with a Mini 1 battery inside the Mini 2. Whether or not DJI chooses to block that down the road, I don’t know.
Auto Exposure Bracketing will tell the Mini 2 to take three photos at different exposures, to get the best possible picture. Another new photographic feature is a Wide Panorama mode, in which the drone will take nine pictures and stitch them together to create a not-quite 180-degree image. I was impressed by the quality of the videos and photos I took with the Mini 2. From the pinks of people’s coats to the reds of falling leaves to the green grass, colors were vivid and saturated.
Follow the instructions in the user manual to replace the propellers. What advantages does Ocusync 2.0 of DJI Mini 2 have over enhanced Wi–Fi in image transmission? OcuSync 2.0 supports both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands. It features stronger interference resistance due to automatic frequency switching, delivering video transmission feeds at up to 10 km (when unobstructed, free of interference, and FCC-compliant).
