DJI is continuing its momentum and has announced the DJI Mini 2 SE, a sub-249g drone that can sit in the palm of your hand. The Mini 2 SE’s low weight, small size and folding legs means that it’s ultraportable and regulation-friendly in most territories.

Its camera features a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor and is capable of shooting 2.7K video or 12MP still images. As usual, the camera is mounted on a 3-axis gimbal to mechanically stabilise the footage and photographs.

Although you need to keep the Mini 2 SE within eyesight to fly legally, it’s capable of transmitting HD video over up to 10 km and it has a flight time of up to 31 minutes on a single battery charge.

DJI has given the Mini 2 SE its QuickShots and Panorama modes to make it easy to capture more creative video and stills. There’s also a 4x digital zoom feature available when shooting HD video.

According to DJI, the Mini 2 SE has Level 5 wind resistance and is capable of hovering in a stable position in wind up to 10.7 m/s.

Unlike the DJI Mini 3 Pro, which has a 12/48MP 1/1.3-inch type sensor, the Mini 2 SE has no object avoidance sensors.
