Notes and Recommendations

Notes and Recommendations:
1. Standard aircraft weight (including battery, propellers and microSD card) is 242 grams. Actual product weight may vary. In some countries and regions, registration of the drone is not required. Check local regulations and laws before use. These characteristics were determined during tests carried out with the latest firmware version. Updating the firmware can improve performance, so it is highly recommended that you update the firmware to the latest version.

2. Due to local policy and regulatory restrictions, the use of the 5.8 GHz band may be restricted or prohibited in some countries, including Japan, Russia, Israel, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. When flying in these locations, use the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Always check local rules and laws before use as they may change over time.

3. The specification of the maximum flight range is determined by a powerful and stable radio communication, and not by the capacity of the drone's battery. This applies only to the maximum one-way flight range. Specification metrics were achieved in an open environment without interference. Monitor the DJI Fly app for Recommended Return Time messages as you fly. Check the applicable radio approval standards for different countries and regions: FCC: United States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Chile, Colombia, Puerto Rico and other regions; SRRC: mainland China; CE: Great Britain, Russia, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Macau, New Zealand, UAE and other regions; MIC: Japan.

4. All data for each standard was checked in open areas without interference.

Appearance

Lightweight, no registration required

How lightweight is the DJI Mini 2? It weighs less than 249 grams

Small but powerful

With intuitive and advanced features packed in a portable frame, the DJI Mini 2 gives you total freedom anywhere. Whether you're shooting on a deserted beach or capturing the details of a fun family vacation, the Mini 2 will handle it all.

Note! Aircraft takeoff weight includes battery, propellers and microSD memory card. Always check local laws and regulations before starting. Be careful when flying in crowded places. Remember - safety comes first!

Increased productivity

Without exaggeration, there is great potential in its small size. With a maximum battery life of 31 minutes, the DJI Mini 2 provides more than enough time to capture the perfect shot.

Flight angles increased in all modes, increased max. speed up to 57.6 km / h ( predecessor : 46.8 km / h). The Mini 2 can withstand wind speeds of 8-10 m / s (predecessor wind resistance: no more than 8 m / s) and take off at a maximum altitude of 4000 meters (predecessor: 3000 m). From this it follows, no matter how dynamic the flight is, your footage will always be stable, regardless of whether the drone is flying along a windy coastline or high above an alpine forest.

It is noted that the maximum flight time was achieved in calm weather at a constant flight speed of 17 km / h.

OcuSync 2.0

This is the coolest upgrade in this version. The Mini 2 features today's top-of-the-line OcuSync 2.0 video streaming technology, which provides excellent protection against interference and allows you to broadcast a high-definition video stream up to a distance of 10 km, which gives you the ability to fly further and see clearly.

It is noted that all output data was obtained in an unobstructed area, free of interference and in accordance with FCC requirements. The maximum range specification is an indication of a reliable and robust radio link. Always obey local rules and regulations and operate the aircraft within line of sight, unless otherwise permitted.

Note! The declared potential predetermines a powerful and stable radio communication, and not the capacity of the drone's battery. Max.the range of 10 km is the maximum one-way flight range, excluding the return to the take-off site! Range in range was achieved in an open environment without interference.

4K camera

By the will of fate, the second coolest upgrade affected the quality of drone shooting. The Mini 2 has the ability to shoot in 4K mode (camera of its predecessor : 2.7K). The 12-megapixel camera now housed in a 3-axis mechanical gimbal enables 4K video recording at 30 frames per second. The tandem delivers stunning image quality that stays consistently smooth no matter how dynamic your piloting is.

Zoom

Nice bonus for this model. It is important to note that the zoom ratio is different for each video mode. For example, for 4K mode, 2x zoom is available, for 2.7K mode, 3x, the claimed 4x zoom is available only for FHD mode.

And with the arrival of the new firmware v01.02.0000, the possibility of zooming appeared for the photo mode as well. More details can be found here

Panoramic shot Capture

Show off how epic your view is with the Mini 2 easily with the panoramic modes available. There are three automatic modes to choose from: Wide, 180 ° - Degree (180 °) and Sphere. Choose a mode and the Mini 2 will do the rest in automatic mode, creating a panoramic masterpiece almost instantly.

Intelligent Photo Optimization

The DJI Fly app offers intelligent, built-in photo optimization. The app automatically enhances the quality of images after they are downloaded, resulting in vivid colors and details in every shot you take. This feature will allow the user to quickly share their best content with the community.

Automated control

All basic actions of the Mini 2 drone are automated, so that a beginner can easily master the first basics of piloting, and for an advanced user these functions provide more efficient and safer operation. When the sky is your playground, the possibilities are endless.

Auto Functions

  • Smart Return To Takeoff (RTH or Return To Home; Automatically activated upon loss of communication and insufficient power supply, or manually from the remote control)
  • Takeoff and landing (the drone takes off and lands in auto mode)
  • Hold position (if you release the control sticks, the drone will hover and will hold its position regardless of external factors such as wind)

Note! To ensure the most accurate touch positioning, the take-off surface must be non-reflective and distinguishable. Under optimal lighting conditions, accurate touch positioning can be achieved in an altitude range of 0.5 to 30 m. The vertical and horizontal touch positioning accuracy is ± 0.1 m.

Control

A standard DJI RC231 remote controller is available to control the Mini 2 (like the Mavic Air 2 ; included by default), which works in tandem with a smartphone (iOS 10.0 or higher or Android 6.0 and above).

DJI Smart Controller support

Also with the arrival of new firmware(v.01.03. 0000)DJI Smart Controller, the manufacturability and functionality of which have already been appreciated by all advanced users.

Power supply

For the power supply of the second version of " Mavic Mini", the lightweight (Weight of the Mini 2 battery / Mini 1: 86.2 / 100 grams), but at the same time a slightly more efficient intelligent rechargeable 2S LiPo battery with a capacity of 2250 mAh (battery capacity of the predecessor: 2400 mAh) with a voltage of 7.7V (battery voltage of the predecessor: 7.2V) and a capacity of 17.32 W / h (battery capacity of the predecessor: 17.28 W / h).

Provides max. flight time 31 minutes (max. predecessor time: 30 minutes). In practice, the average flight time of the Mini 2 was about 25-27 minutes (max. Practical flight time of the predecessor: 25-27 minutes), which is generally the norm for multi-mode operation of a GPS drone.

Interchangeability of batteries between models is partially excluded by the developer. It means that due to the design features of the batteries, the battery from the Mini 2 is not suitable for powering the predecessor Mavic Mini, but the battery of the predecessor without any problems gets up and works with the modified version of Mini 2. True, as shown practice, such a tandem does not affect the flight time in any way, except for the overestimated flight weight of the drone, which in this case will already be 257 grams (excluding the microSD card), which in some countries (including the Russian Federation) obliges the owner to install the UAV registered (for more details here ).

Max. a flight time of 31 minutes was achieved while flying in calm air at a stable speed of 16.92 km / h.

Direct download and instant editing

For the fastest possible interaction with the captured content, the developer has implemented three completely new key functions in the new Mini 2:

QuickTransfer

When the Mini 2 is near your smartphone, the DJI Fly mobile app will automatically recognize and connect to the drone, and sync selected photos and videos at 20MB / with.

Trimmed Download

With this new function, you can easily trim a video segment for editing and downloading. Hunting for a favorite photo or worrying about running out of storage space are a thing of the past.

Imaginative Templates

The intuitive DJI Fly app editor includes a diverse set of creative templates. Flying, shooting, editing and publishing can be done almost instantly, allowing you to create and share them on the fly.

Stated max. speed - 20 MB / s is provided when the drone is operating exclusively in the 5.8 GHz frequency band. When using the QuickTransfer function in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the maximum download speed is already 6 MB / s.

Fly Spots

The DJI Fly app provides users with integrated access to SkyPixel, a social platform for users who can share their aerial photos and videos. Browse work, share your own, and even find popular aerial photography spots in your area.

For your information! Fly Spots is currently only available for China. All flight locations displayed by Fly Spots are based on voluntarily provided location tags from SkyPixel users. DJI never collects or shares user data without the user's consent. Always check and follow local regulations wherever you fly.
