Whether you’re just getting started with drones or are an ace pilot, you’ll find that the DJI Mini 2 is an easy-to-fly device. It’s more robust than the Mavic Mini and has better low-light performance and dynamic range. We love this drone and think you will too! Here’s why:
Longer flight time than the Mavic Mini
DJI’s new Mini 2 drone is a great upgrade over its predecessor, the Mavic Mini. Compared to its predecessor, the new Mini offers a longer flight time and more power.
The aforementioned features are accompanied by a larger battery and improved wind resistance. These improvements are especially important when flying in less-than-ideal conditions.
The OcuSync 2.0 transmission system, for instance, improves reliability by eliminating signal interference and fading. It also expands the range and offers a reliable HD video feed.
DJI’s proprietary OcuSync 2.0 transmits data over both 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz frequency bands. This dual-frequency transmission technology allows you to control your drone from a maximum distance of 10 kilometers.
Unlike the Mavic Mini, the Mini 2 comes with a 4-K camera that can produce high-quality, high resolution footage. This upgrade also enables the drone to record raw and JPEG files.
In addition to the better camera and better battery, the Mini 2 is designed to be more compact. Its dimensions are identical to the Mavic Mini, but it weighs only 249 grams. That means it can fit into a jacket pocket without taking up much space.
Better dynamic range and low-light performance
The new DJI Mini 2 drone is a huge improvement over the original Mavic Mini. It has a larger image sensor for improved low light performance and better flying capability. You can now take HDR photos and videos while you’re flying the drone.
Unlike the Mavic Pro, which has a full-frame 12MP sensor, the Mini 3 Pro’s camera has a smaller f/1.7 aperture lens. This reduces noise when shooting in dim conditions. Nonetheless, the 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor is still capable of capturing sharp images.
Besides improved low-light performance, the Mini 3 Pro has other features that make it the best drone for taking high-quality, low-light photos and videos. It also has an HDR settings and true vertical shooting capabilities.
The camera of the Mini 3 Pro has a 10 bit D-Log color profile. This gives you advanced flexibility in post-production. With HDR photos, you can capture multiple images of the same object and blend them together for the most beautiful result.
Customization options
The DJI Mini 2 is an upgraded version of the original DJI Mavic Mini. The new device offers higher quality camera and OcuSync 2.0 transmission technology. However, the Mini 2 doesn’t feature Intelligent Flight modes. Instead, it focuses on user concerns. It has an altitude lock feature, and a return to home function.
While DJI Mini 2 has many similarities to the Mavic Mini, the latter also has a few key differences. First, the Mini 2 isn’t equipped with Wi-Fi communication. This is because it uses dual-frequency transmission to prevent signal interference. Also, the Mini 2 has a higher-quality video frame rate and the option to record raw+JPEG files.
In addition to the above features, the DJI Mini 2 also has a number of safety features. These include ActiveTrack, which allows the drone to track moving subjects, keeping them in the frame. Additionally, the drone can avoid obstacles using its Visual Obstacle Avoidance mode.
With the DJI Fly app, you can customize the drone’s functions. You can choose to have it automatically land when you land it. You can also control the front LED light, as well as customize its button.
Limitations of the DJI Mini 2
The DJI Mini 2 drone offers many features to consumers. It’s small, light and has a nifty feature – the ability to record videos and photos from the air. However, there are some limitations.
There is a limit to the altitude the drone can fly. In most countries, the maximum altitude is 400 feet. This is called the service ceiling. If you are flying in the US, you can reach a maximum altitude of 400 feet, while if you are flying in India, you can only reach a maximum altitude of 15 meters.
The DJI Mini 2 has a maximum flight range of 10 km. Compared to the Mavic Mini, the Mini 2 has a much improved wind resistance. It also uses OcuSync 2.0 transmission technology, which increases its range.
The drone’s camera is capable of recording 4K/30p video and taking raw+JPEG files. Despite its small size, the camera is capable of capturing decent images in low light conditions.
