The Mini 2 SE starts at $307 for the standard kit. The Fly More Combo is $472 and adds aircraft, rc-n1, 3 batteries, two-way charging hub, shoulder bag. See current price and stock.
How long does the Mini 2 SE fly?
DJI rates the Mini 2 SE at 31 minutes per battery in calm conditions. Expect roughly 25–26 minutes of real flying, since you land with some battery left and wind shortens flights. With the three batteries in the Fly More Combo, that's about 93 rated minutes per outing.
What's the Mini 2 SE's range?
The video link reaches up to 6.2 mi under ideal, interference-free conditions (FCC). In the US you must keep the drone within your own visual line of sight, so in practice you'll fly much closer than that. The long range mainly means a stronger, more stable video signal.
Do you need to register the Mini 2 SE?
At 249 g it's under 250 g, so you don't need to register it with the FAA for recreational flying. If you fly it for business under Part 107, you must register it. Our FAA registration guide walks through it.
Who is it for?
Best for first-time pilots. The lowest-cost way into a real GPS drone. Light, simple and steady, with no registration for hobby flying.
