Meanwhile, the f/2.8 aperture fixed-focus lens is wide open, but still narrow enough to keep skies from blowing out too easily. Around the back of the controller is an R trigger, and where the L trigger would be is a jog-dial which controls the DJI Mini 2’s vertical panning.
Similarly to what I said about photos, the smaller sensor really shows its limitations at higher ISO numbers, but I wouldn’t let that discourage you. The blacks and shadows hold up very well and the overall image still looks rich. There is visible noise in the shadows, but my advice is to lean into those shadows, make them darker and a lot of that noise will get removed. The new DJI Mini 2 hits that same sub-250g target but with fewer compromises than the first Mini. With this new feature, you can easily cut out a segment of your footage to edit and download.
This drone is perfect for that and is just as reliable as my other two DJI drones. I like being able to zoom 4x on the pics and 2x on the 4K video. It is a great little drone and I am very happy with the quality and value of the refurbished status. It has taken away my fear of purchasing other items that are refurbished. Is DJI’s first consumer drone to offer two battery options.

And that is awesome, but if you don’t want to take chances with your luck, you can get your hands on some great deals on DJI Mini 2 and Mini SE sub-250-gram drones right now.
Unlike the DJI Mavic Air and bigger drones, the DJI Mini 2 doesn’t sport obstacle avoidance sensors on its sides, front or back. That said, there are a couple of sensors at the base, so when it senses a surface or obstruction below, it bounds up abruptly to avoid it. The undercarriage also houses a battery meter dji drones and light, so you can keep the drone in line of sight, even at night. If you want to try something different, Autel Robotics is in the process of launching the Nano, priced at $1060. It has a three-way obstacle avoidance system along with 4K video and a 50mp camera, all weighing just under the magic 8.8 ounces .
