DJI Mini 2

DJI recently introduced the new DJI Mini 2.

Finally my order for the DJI Mini 2 arrived a few days ago, so i was able to test fly it. I am using a DJI Spark for the past years and I am happy about it except my main compain is the battery life, and sometimes it is having trouble communicating from Drone to Remote to the Smartphone. I think that is the reason why the new DJI drone is not using WiFi/Bluetooth connection already but instead it is using cable to connect from the Remote Controller to the Smartphone, the cable that was inserted at the Remote Controller is USB C - Lighting, although what comes with the box are USB C - USB C, and USB C - MicroUSB. So technically, all smartphones ae supported.

You need to download DJI Fly to use DJI Mini. DJI Spark is using another apps DJI Go 4. There are several DJI Apps available the DJI Mimo, DJI Go, and DJI Go 4. You need to make sure you are using the right apps for the right DJI gadgets.

The DJI Mini 2 is less than 249grams. In many country if your drone is less than 250grams, you do not need to acquired a license to fly or a permit to fly a drone. Although we must always be concious of our environment when we fly our drone. The DJI Mini 2 have a maximum battery life of 31 minutes. And is great and normally enough for us to compose and take a good drone shots. The DJI Mini 2 can fly up to an altitude of 4,000 meters, and a range of up to 10 km.
