Hey All!
I am back with another long format video with a summary of what I think the DJI mini 2 SE is all about after flying it for about 8 months. In this video I talk about how it flys, the details of the safety features, the controller, the image/video quality and more. I hope this helps answer questions about this drone, as always feel free to ask me anything in the comments!

I have had mine for a couple months and I love it. The cost really isn’t bad to get into some pretty nice videos and pictures. I’m very impressed by the build quality and the way it flies. I went full speed into a chain link fence and not a scratch. Just had to change the blades. For anyone who wants to get a drone to take around with them and have fun get some good shots I recommend this.
Couldn’t agree with this more! Thanks so much for sharing and watching 🙏🚁
Is there an option to upgrade to a controller that has the live footage to help direct the drone? Or is that only available on the mini 3?
Thank you so much because, I’ve been trying to find other videos about the mini 2 se and not so many people own it yet so thank you so much
Hey! So glad this has helped - looking forward to making more tutorial videos with this drone. Enjoy!
Definitely won’t be registering it. That’s the main selling point for these light drones is not having too. I’m all about my freedom.
Totally feel you my man!!
Have a smartphone?!
@@The-Drone-Guyif I wanted to fly in a restricted airspace, like an airport restricted area near where I live, could I with this drone, since it’s under the weight limit?
@@Kingborax501-ce3juno. Just because it’s under 250 grams doesn’t make it legal to fly in restricted airspace. Neither can it take off in some public places with signs that prohibit drones.
For anyone that thinks it takes poor images, just remember that “pro” photographers were shooting with 12mp drones (like the Magic air) just a few years ago and producing great images before the larger sensors were available.
I totally agree with this! Thanks for validating. I have been professionally photographing with drones for almost 8 years now and my first drone, which costs $1,500 btw, shot 12 mp and I was amazed
Just ordered the fly more combo from B&H Photo. I've been watching a lot of videos on it and yours are the best I've found. This is my first drone and know I'm pretty confident I'll be able to fly it without to much worry. Thanks for taking the time to make these.
Oh cool! Glad to hear you were able to get the fly more combo that will be so handy. And I’m really glad you found my channel and have gained some tips! Happy flying 😁🙏
Thanks! it’s this video which convinced me to get this drone and like you, I have started my channel using this drone. So far I am really impressed with the performance of this drone!
Wow that’s so amazing to hear I’ll go check out your channel. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you so much for this informative video.
I took and passed my Part 107 a month ago. I recently purchased the Mini 2 SE because it was a great budget for the quality that I'm getting and I also really want to get my foot in the door into the aviation business.
Wow that’s so exciting to hear! Congratulations on passing your part 107 - I bet you can’t wait for your physical license to get mailed!
If you have any questions on getting insurance let me know. What a great way to get started best of luck!
I have had other drones with more features, but I switched the mini 2 SE and I don't miss most of those features. The only one I miss is the ability to use way points.
Thanks Drew ... I first came across your channel in a search on the Mini 2SE, and while yes, your review is a bit overdue, it's clear, honest and frankly explains why this is such an excellent device. Well done, as always. I really appreciate the no-gimmicks, or overdone video editing approach to this channel.
It doesn't hurt that you live in one of the most beautiful areas in North America by my reckoning ..... we were down three times this year and after more than 30 years of visits, Southern Maine has never lost it's interest for me. BTW -- Sam's Club have slashed their price on the bundle of drone, 2 batteries and carry bag to - get this - $299 USD! Price is good to December 25.
Hey Wendell! Always great to see your comments here. Truly appreciate the feedback!
Getting to photograph along the NH/ME seacoast is truly a dream and it’s been a blast to share with you all. Now on that note I may need to run to Sam’s club! 😂🙏
Thanks for a great video. I saw this today in the Sam's sale catalog. I have watched at least 6 reviews and yours is the first to answer my main question. Not even the Sam's site mentioned if you need a memory card, so I'm glad you mentioned it.
Wow I’m really appreciative of this feedback! Thanks for watching and enjoy your new drone 😎✌️🚁
A great review. I needed someone like you to convice me to get one. With a photography background, I was keen to use/ get a drone at some point. I have just retired, I live in the beautiful countryside of Scotland and really thought that it would appeal to me. Now, it does, thank you. Increasingly, companies like Real Estate agents (realtors) are asking for stills and videos to sell homes and drones are becoming more and more essential, especially for countryside properties.
So so glad you enjoyed the review! You will be thrilled with the content you will capture in you’re beautiful country. Especially having the photography background, that is huge. Cheers!
I found your channel a week or so ago when I was looking for info. about the DJI mini 2 SE that I just purchased. Your vids have been so helpful! I'm in southern NH near Nashua and will probably try out some of the spots that you've flown at like Nubble Light, and Mount Agamenticus! Thanks for what you do!
Wow this is fantastic to hear. What a fun hobby to pick up, I am so thankful my videos are helping. Maybe I will see you out flying sometime in the future. Enjoy 📸🚁✌️
@@The-Drone-Guy true...maybe we'll bump into each other some time Drew! Until then...Gary
I FINALLY FOUND THE IN DEPTH VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR. After what seemed like hundreds lmao, thanks man, I’m saving up to buy this I got some pretty good plans I know will succeed with this thing. 💪🏼🦅
Yooo! I really appreciate you sharing that feedback. I almost didn’t make this video haha 😂 glad it has seemed to really help a lot of folks out. Hope you get your hands on one soon!
Thanks for the review! I had the original Mini SE which was a great drone but used the old Mini 1 style controller and didn't have as much range as my current Mini 2 with the RC controller and O2. The Mini 2SE, as you have said is a great option with the upgraded controller. My Mini 2 with a lens filter and a ViFly strobe light weights 247 grams. This strobe is a good value at $15, has a long battery life, is FAA compliant and it's one of the lightest options to keep under 250 grams. I also use a Cynova charging hub that will charge 2 of the mini 2SE style batteries at once and can be used as a power bank, for about $20.
I know the Mini 4 pro is all the rage now but for about 1/2 the price these older DJI minis are a lot of fun and take great photos and video, especially after a little post production tweaking.
I Enjoy your channel!
🙏🚁
Super great video hit all of the talking points I was looking for
Glad it was helpful! I really love sharing my experience - if any questions come up hit me up! 😁🙏🚁📸
I just flew mine for the first time today, i love it. Way more confident flying it vs a cheap vivitar i got years ago that is like fighting a bear.
Hey! Thanks so much for sharing and tuning in. So glad to hear you are happy , I agree that these mini series drones are amazing little flyers. The image and video quality is an incredible cherry on top. Enjoy!!
If it’s perfect for real estate then I think I found the drone! Definitely will be ordering ! Getting my first listing!
Yes as someone who is a licensed drone operator and broker in two states this is my suggested starter drone for realtors. Enjoy and good luck!!
Hi, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and tutorials. I like your drone photos and videos a lot! By the way, have you encountered any issue when importing videos shot by mini 2 se into Adobe Premiere? Every time I tried it, the app crashed.
Hi there! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the drone but I have not had any other issue’s you described. Maybe an update needed? Is your disk utility full?
we apreciate your content
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice video, mine just arrived in the mail today. Got it set up and burned through 2 batteries testing it out. WOW this is much better and more sensitive than my old Deerc 22. So much more stable.
I am studying for the 107, I am a home inspector and intend to use this to assist with roofs I can not walk and hard to reach areas. This will be perfect for this. If yo don't mind what software are you running this through to enhance these images, your shots are fantastic
Hey! This is so exciting to hear - I use adobe products such as Lightroom and photoshop for editing photos. The great part about these little drones is they’re so easy to always have with you, don’t make much noise and pack some amazing image quality. Even having the digital zoom feature is wild. Best of luck on your new venture!
Very good content. Honest as a newbie content creator. Little information but very important for biginners in aerial photographer like me.
Yes tried to stick with the basics! Stay tuned for more. Thanks for watching my friend
@@The-Drone-Guy sure..most welcome
Hi - Good informative video. Does the drone have an option for master subject tracking- to follow a person ? Thanks
Hi there - because the drone only has sensors on the bottom side it is not capable of tracking. However it can focus on a stationary subject like a building and perform a variety of maneuvers around that object. Check out my quick shots tutorials for more info!
Think I recall (from Pilot Institute) that if you do choose to register a sub .55lb drone in the US, that triggers the need for remote ID. Sub .55lb unregistered does not. Please correct me if you think I'm wrong on that?
Yes I believe there is that caveat, however I still think the FAA needs to clear up their language in the sub .55 drones as some of it seems contradictory. I’m just going to keep flying safely and according to the rules. Where you tuning in from? 😁🙏🚁
Watching this video after buy 1 this model for my youtube channel...thanks bro
All the best thanks for watching!!
great drone. Fitted gimble shield and stops wind shake. Once you get the right filter is down to the flyer
Do you have a link to a gimbal shield? Thanks!
I just got my Mini 2 Se as my first drone for Christmas, and I love it!! As a newbie, just wondering how to register it with the FAA, is it required? And will I get in trouble flying if it’s not registered? Great video btw
Hey! I’d start with the FAA Drone Zone Page
faadronezone-access.faa.gov/#/
Hello! I heard about the average 25 minute battery but was wondering if you could tell me about the charging times. This is my first “real” drone and my previous terrible cheap one had a 2 hours charging time and 9 minute fly time and I really have no clue what long it would take. Thanks! (Note I am not getting the fly more combo)
Hey! That’s a really great question. I didn’t get the fly more combo either but over time bought a few extra batteries so I’ve never truly focused on how long the recharge time is. If I were to get I’d say between 30-40 min.
Re the gimbal issues you mention with the Mini 2 se and sometimes other DJI Mini series drones, I think they are mostly caused by launching and landing on the ground, which kicks up dirt and grit into the gimbal motors and gears, which lie very close to the ground.
I tecommend launching off a pad and hand catching it.
I've never had an issue with mine
Yes this is always something that concerns me. I have inspected the gimbal many times to and used forced air and other techniques to clear any debris I can’t see but unfortunately has not helped. I do usually launch off a pad or hand launch but not always so maybe I’ll get more strict with my mini series drones
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your experience as well!
Hi please can you answer for my comment please? This one doesn’t have a fallow mode like to fallow the car if tou are in the car right? It s doesn’t worn on litchi
Hi there, I would not say this is a drone that supports follow me mode even with the litchi app. Even if you found a way to allow the drone to track there is no obstacle avoidance to keep it from crashing. Hope this helps!
In a couple of hours I’m going to buy my first drone and I still can’t choose between this DJI Mini 2 SE and the Potensic Atom 4K, what do you recommend?
Great video!
Hey! Thanks so much for watching - I have never used a potensic drone but wow they look pretty similar in design and features to the DJI mini series drones. Reviews seem great!
Personally I do have brand loyalty to DJI and learning it’s interface as the higher end drones in my mind can’t be beat. Only thing I’d consider otherwise they both are great first drones! Keep us posted 🙏🙏
DJI mini 2 se
Very thorough and informative video, thanks man. New sub for sure 🤙
Wow thanks so much for sharing your feedback and subscribing 🙏🚁
I started with the first mini se. I Love my mini 3 pro great for the price if your looking to go to the next level
Hey! Thanks so much for tuning in. I think I’m going to get the mini 3 pro or 4 pro before year end. Defiantly really love the mini series drones. I have a phantom 4 pro and a Mavic 3 which I use for work. Where you flying from?
I’m flying in Tampa Florida
@@Rvh_photography very cool I bet that’s a beautiful city to drone in 🙏🚁
Hello.. what is in your opinion better option to buy:
Dji mini 2 SE fly more combo or Dji mini 3 basic package, for the approximately same price? :)
Oh boy that’s a tough one! I’d say the mini 2 se fly more combo. Unless having the 4k true vertical shooting is a huge factor for you
Hi there,Could u pls tell me whether I should buy the DJI mini 2 or mini 2 se,I am a beginner(I do know basic flying tho) but this will be my first DJI drone.I do know that the main difference is the camera but is 4K really usable practically in terms of storage or quality? And is there a major difference in repair costs between the two because it has a better camera and a led at the front if it matters? Pls tell me this I would really appreciate it!
Hey thanks for taking the time o watch a few of my videos. I made sure to get back to your comment :) hope this helps!
dji stop making the mini2 but still making the mini2se i would go with the mini 2 se
7:34 I know this bridge in Maine! I’ve been there gorgeous
Aww yes the wiggly bridge!
Hi Drew, Is there a market for providing just aerial photos & videos in the real estate market? Or are you expected to provide the internal photos of homes as well. I’m not a photographer by trade.
My wife just bought me the mini 2 Se as a Christmas gift knowing that I would like to dabble in a business with it when I retire in a couple years.
Hi there! Thanks so much for tuning into my channel. There is a market for that yes. There’s still plenty of traditional real estate photographers that never took the time to invest in drone photography and often will sub out the work to me or others.
Ideally, the realtor/agent would like to use one person for everything if they can for scheduling purposes and also cost. For that reason I slowly added all the services I could to never turn down a job.
My suggestion if you’d like to retire and get some nice side work is to first practice and learn the drone. If you have any friends who are willing to let you practice on their homes that’s a great way to build a portfolio.
Most real estate office still love to have industry related professionals come and connect with them at their offices. Often times you can schedule a little presentation at the beginning of their weekly or monthly team meetings to introduce yourself and your service. Leave some marketing materials and hope you earn some business.
Another Avenue is to look at company’s who subcontract photographers. I worked for one on the side for over 3 years and they often sent me on jobs that were “drone only”. They did all the scheduling, editing and payment processing. I just showed up and uploaded when I got home.
Lastly, you’ll need to look into getting your part 107 license to fly the drone commercially. This can take some time as well so sounds like you have a great head start on the next few years before retiring. I do plan on making a video(s) about real estate photography so stay tuned. However I hope this helps for now 🙏😁🚁
The Smart Controller also works to the Mini 2. The problem is that it seems to only want to link to one drone only. I thought I can use the Smart Controller to toggle back and forth between my Mini 2 and my Mavic Pro but once you establish a link with one, it completely drops the other.
Oh wow really? Darn I was kind of hoping to use this with my mavic - I did order another mini 3 with the smart controller though so maybe I’ll just use a standard controller for one of them. Thanks for sharing this!
You need to unbind and re-bind every time
The mini 2 se has larger blade motors that are on the mini 3. That was one of the hardware upgrades.
I’m not sure I knew that! Thanks so much for sharing this info with us 🙏
Man, I wish there was a follow-me setting for this SE. I know that the Litchi app works with the Mini 2 but not so much with the Mini 2 SE. Do you think they will eventually allow the Litchi app to work for the SE? Thanks in advance!
I have the Mini 2 SE and it does work with Litchi. Now, that being said, I don’t use Litchi often, because it’s my understanding that if there’s a crash, fly away, etc, DJI’s Care Refresh doesn’t cover repairs or replacements. I’m not certain on that, but believe I read that somewhere. Anyway, I did use Litchi not too long ago to try the Follow mode, and it worked. So unless something has changed in the last one or two months, Litchi should work. At least for the Follow mode. Just saying, you might want to look into that again.
Hey there! Thanks for watching. My best suggestion is to get creative with the quick shots feature. I have two videos on this and in my second it shows what I mean. I’ll be downloading the litchi app tomorrow to run some tests!
Love this comment thanks for adding this information. I am way over due in trying to use the litchi app. I have seen many comments on it regarding its ability to take some maneuvers not offered in the dji fly app and making it happen with their software. Now I love the comment on the issue of warranty as well and is to be considered especially if you’re a recreational flyer. For those who shoot commercially they will already have an insurance policy if something weren’t to go wrong. Thanks all for tuning in!
@@Stingray8854Flying with Litchi does not affect Care Refresh or warranty.
And you can't be flying a Mini 2 SE with Litchi, the MSDK is not out so it's impossible. Mini 2 yes, Mini SE yes. Mini 2 SE no.
@@olabergvall3154 I’m not sure I’m reading your reply correctly, but I am, indeed, flying the Mini 2 SE and the Litchi app did work. Including the follow me mode. This was several months ago and maybe something might have changed, but Litchi in follow me mode did work with my Mini 2 SE. Just saying.
When you traveled to Italy, did you check bag your drone and battery or carry bag?
I put it right with my other photo and tech gear. In my carry on bag so that if security needs batteries pulled out you can. But I had no issue!
@@The-Drone-Guy Thanks! We are traveling to Italy this year and wanted to take our drone, we are noobs, with drone and Italy. And the FAA guidelines for travel were a little confusing. They showed caution ⚠️ for batteries and simply said "could" be considered dangerous material.
@@dannyg8741 it’s essentially a camera with wings so I treat it just like my Nikon camera or laptop/ipad. One thing I found in Italy is the birds are a little more aggressive than here in the states 👍
I really wanted to fly this drone in FPV using a VR head set. Unfortunately none of the apps (Maven , Litchi etc) that work with other DJI's work with the Mini 2SE as DJI has not released the SDK. Never would have bought it if I'd known that and would have got the Holystone HS720G instead as it comes with FPV mode.
Sorry to hear that - I know a lot of other people I have spoken with you are in the same boat. I will say the drone is still worth getting out there every once in a while. I do hope you get to achieve your dream FPV setup soon
Do the batteries on the mini 2 fit the mini 2 se.
You know that is a great question. My gut says yes but I’ll have to check the DJI official site to confirm
As an avid photographer,I’ve considered adding a drone. My fear are with fly aways. Is this a problem? I’m retired and could not easily afford replacing the drone.
Hey! First off thanks so much for tuning in and watching. Fly always should never happen with the DJI drones based on my experience. In my 7 years of flying that has never been close to happening. However I also learned from a pilot for my commercial license to always check weather and other things. My suggestion is to never fly in winds above 20 mph and keep the drone relatively close by and you should have no issues at all. Hope this helps! I have links to the apps I use in some of my tutorial videos
Simply make sure the drone established its home point before taking off and make sure you program its lost contact behavior. I did once have a complete lost of signal once on my Mavic 2 Pro. Worst feeling ever. But eventually once the battery started to run low, it was program to fly back to it's home point with high enough of an altitude safely. Common mistake is people don't program the return to home feature settings and in such a rush that they fly off before the drone can establish it's
home point.
MINI 2 SE is a little beast
So happy with mine!y only regret is not buying one sooner 😂
This my first drone and am also very happy with all that it does@@The-Drone-Guy
Do you still think it is worth it or is there another drone that would be better for a similar price?
Unless you are interested in spending 200-300 more it’s the best option out there for the price still in my opinion 😁👍
Suggest me how would I bring it to india from usa
Darn I am not sure I am the best person to ask. May be easier to find someone who already has done this
Any tips on carrying it to India if bought in US.
When traveling with a drone. Treat it like any other electronic and store in your carry on luggage 🙏👍
@@The-Drone-Guy Thanks. Once I start using it for channel I ll have more queries. For eg. I didn't have the budget to go for active tracking by I make mostly motovlogs...

Can anyone provide information on phone compatibility? I have heard that the software won't work with the Galaxy s22. Comments?
Hi there! Unfortunately I have only used apple products so I’m not sure why you are having issues. You made sure to try using the official DJI fly app?
I use Samsung S22 ultra, and it works. The software is compatible with Samsung s22.
Mr,dji mini2se the best.
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching
What type of phone do you use for this drone
My iPhone 12 Pro Max
@The-Drone-Guy ok thanks
Night vision can be taken vedio?
In certain conditions yes. But I would t suggest that unless you’re very experienced 😁🚁📸
Still can't decide which one to go for, 2SE or Mini 3.
Things that making me biased towards Mini 3-
The vertical video on Mini 3 is a good to have.
A larger sensor can give much better dynamic range and low light image quality.
Things that are making me biased towards 2SE-
Affordable price (my pocket allows only this much).
As a beginner losing it won't hurt as much Mini 3 would do.
Still don't know what to go for 😏
This would have been my exact dilemma as well if I was looking at either drone for a first drone. Don’t worry too much because they’re both rock star drones and will get you awesome footage. There is a strong market for these drones so I’m sure if you buy mini 2 se and want to upgrade some day you could. But I have also been in your shoes and spent almost all my extra money on my first drone to hopefully start my business which was a great decision.
Have you looked at the mini 3 refurbished?
I returned my mini 2se and bought a mini 3 fly more kit instead, the extra batteries and charging hub plus the extra battery life on the mini 3 and 4k video is hands down worth it, if you have a little bit of extra money. Keep in mind, also i don't see any of these "drone" youtubers tell you that the mini 2se comes with a somewhat outdated battery that is not supported by the mini 3,pro,4 or newer generations. So the battery replacement will be harder and more expensive to find.

Love this!! I was wondering how else you can precisely zoom other than using your finger. I knew fn was quick zoom but never knew you could use both in sequence
2:30 - Unless you are a 107 pilot do not register this drone. FAA told me that if I register it, I MUST COMPLY with remote ID requirememt.
I thought like you, $5 is peanuts, register it, what can it hurt.
HERE IS THE EMAIL RESPONSE:
Your drone need not be registered if it is used only for recreation.
If a drone is registered, it requires Remote ID.
If it is to be flown under Part 107, it needs registration and hence, Remote ID.

I really appreciate this! Such an interesting thing to navigate- I am a part 107 pilot so I figured I’d register it but have never used it for commercial. Good to know they require remote I’d either way
Only con, doesn’t have track me mode 💔
I know! However for a beginner that feature can be advanced and often results in crash if not careful
perhaps potensic atom 4k.... good drone

Never said I use this drone for all my pro shoots. I use a mavic 3, $2,500 from for all of my shoots which I think is more than capable of professional quality. It’s certainly has landed me on multiple magazine covers so not sure why you’re so upset 😭
