From there, you can customize your settings for each mode. The Mini SE drone supports 12MP aerial photos and 2.7K Quad HD videos. It’s built with a 3-axis motorized gimbal that stabilizes the camera to make for smooth footage, as well as vision sensors that allow the drone to hover precisely. While you can take photos and videos without a microSD card, DJI said one is required to store content. You also gain the luxury of flying farther back from your subjects with support for up to 4x digital zoom. The footage looks surprisingly good for a sensor of this size.
I love the drone for its size and weight and it is the perfect companion to any vlogger. Peter, all this things will be revaluated for new regulations, coming in January 2021. General new EU rules defines types of drones, fly areas etc, but then you also have state regional restrictions, where all things you mentioned will be included. Peter OK if that is what you think – I have no issues flying my drone in most parts of Europe I have been too over the last few years I own a drone.
This is something the Mavic 2 series and Mavic Air 2 performs automatically. This strikes me as a strange move on DJI’s part since most beginners may not be ready or willing to do the extra work in post-processing. Serious photographers may even want the 1″ CMOS sensor that the Mavic 2 Pro offers. This pulls out a menu that serves as access to all the features you need to capture imagery. Starting from the inside, a menu displaying the options of Photo, Video, QuickShot, and Pano appears.
As there’s just the one potentially fake image to go on and no other rumours, it’s rather pointless to speculate much beyond this. We’ll update this article if there are more rumours, though. The original Mini launched in October 2019, so a late 2021 release for the Mini 3 would have made sense. But as that didn’t happen, it’s now anyone’s guess as to when it could launch.
How does being 7 miles away from a 3000 foot rarely-used runway with no airplanes around anywhere in sight or on ADS-B endanger anyone? The nearest people in the air were 20 miles away and the nearest people on the ground were over a mile away. Yet, I could be out in the middle of nowhere and fly over a school volleyball tournament full of people with an aircraft that can’t glide or autorotate.
Suffice to say you can fly the Mini 2 well beyond visual range—which, friendly reminder, you should never do—and still get a video feed. The controller has been revamped to look nearly identical to dji drones the Mavic Air 2 controller. It does weigh more, but that’s a small price to pay for the improved design. What DJI has changed are the motors, bumping the max flight speed to 16 meters per second .
The option of digital zoom, provided on the Mini 2, shouldn’t really be a deciding factor. It’s odd that it wasn’t an option on the earlier Mini, since it is only a digital zoom which will be of limited use to optical purists, but it feels better to have than not to. If you’re planning on undertaking roof surveys, for example, the Mini 2’s option of digital zoom might well be a worthwhile distinction as you can get in tight on any suspicious areas. Under the video heading, the Mini 2 has a very distinct advantage if 4K is of use to you.
The DJI Mini 2 builds on the success of the previous Mavic Mini, providing a much better video shoot quality, while retaining the straight out of the pocket flying capability. The DJI Mini 2 is the next generation of the small, light, extremely portable, capable, reliable, and affordable drone that can shoot good photos and smooth video from the sky. The DJI Fly app features intelligent, built-in photo optimization. The app automatically enhances image quality after downloading a photo, resulting in vivid colors and details that pop.
Since then, DJI Tech Support has confirmed to fans on Chinese social media that it will soon release the Mini 3 series. Despite all that, DJI’s products continue to be available in the US as of this writing. The manufacturer does not allow us to advertise this product’s price online. Recent phantom 4 DJI launches have been preceded by increasingly frequent leaks and @DealsDrone, which picked up this new leak, has previously predicted that the drone would launch in April. If that’s true, expect to see some more leaks and early appearances in retail stores over the next two weeks.
