DJI announced the DJI Mini 2 SE, an entry-level palm-sized camera drone that becomes the least expensive in the Mini range. It features a Type 2.3 (6.3 x 4.7mm) CMOS sensor that captures 12MP stills, 2.7K video and up to 4X digital zoom, but lacks the 4K capabilities of the Mini 2.
As you’d expect from a lightweight model, it weighs less than 249 grams, making it exempt from drone regulations in several parts of the world, according to the company.
Like the Mini 2, the Mini 2 SE has a maximum flight time of 31 minutes, supports HD video transmission at up to 10km (6.2 mi). Level 5 wind resistance allows the drone to hover steadily in 10.7 m/s (24mph) winds and there is a 3-axis mechanical stabilization system.
The DJI Mini 2 SE is set to arrive March 22, 2023 and retail for $369 (drone only) MSRP, or as part of DJI Mini 2 SE Fly More Combo, which adds a carrying case, extra batteries, propellers and accessories for $519 MSRP.
