DJI Mini 2
The DJI Mini 2, launched in November 2020 by Chinese technology giant DJI, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of lightweight, consumer‑grade aircraft. Building on the success of its predecessor, the Mavic Mini, the Mini 2 introduced a more robust transmission system, extended flight range, and upgraded camera capabilities while retaining a sub‑250‑gram weight that exempts it from many regulatory restrictions in Europe and the United States. Powered by a 3‑axis gimbal and a 1/2.3‑inch CMOS sensor, the drone captures 12‑megapixel stills and 4K video at 30 fps, delivering professional‑quality footage from a pocket‑sized platform. Its OcuSync 2.0 transmission provides up to 10 km of unobstructed video feed, and a maximum flight time of 31 minutes surpasses most entry‑level models. The Mini 2’s intuitive QuickShot modes and automated Return‑to‑Home function lower the learning curve for beginners while still appealing to seasoned pilots seeking a portable secondary device. In the broader aviation landscape, the Mini 2 helped democratize aerial imaging, spurring regulatory bodies to reconsider weight‑based rules and encouraging other manufacturers to develop sub‑250‑gram UAVs. Its blend of performance, affordability, and ease of use has cemented its status as a benchmark in modern recreational aviation.
