I bought my first 5 weeks ago and only saw this video today, but it's still very windy and I'm still learning lots of stuff. But I'd bought one after this video if I hadn't yet !
For the price, I think the Mini 2 SE is really good. At first, I wanted to buy something better, like the Mini 3 and Mini 4, but after comparing the differences between all those drones as well as the difference in price, I came to the conclusion that the more expensive models for the most part have a better camera and more settings and options for it, while the rest is almost the same. Since I really don't care that much about the 4K camera and it's settings and options, the Mini 2 is my choice.
This budget drone is much more impressive than the Potestic Atom you tested recently. The DJI Mini 2SE had a strong signal connection and a strait horizon, things that I value in all drones, including budget models. Great tutorial Marcus, and thanks for sharing. Happy New Year.
from what I can see, this drone is incredible. Unbelievable that it only costs this little. For a hobbyist who shoots in his free time, what more does he need.
Lost/damaged 4 or 5 cheap drones in the past couple of weeks. That was all practice for my mini2 se im getting next week. I’m so excited. Great video!!✌🏾
Thanks again, I am waiting for my first DJI that is coming today, I'm prepping with your video! I really can't stress how good your videos are to watch, the format is really great to consume for beginners.
I received the mini2 se for Christmas,not really had the weather here in the UK to fly it yet,I have watched many videos,but yours was, even though basic,was more informative than any of the others did,actually all the info you gave is actually still in my mind,thank you
@@IdahoQuadcopter He absolutely does! it was his birthday yesterday he was out with it most of the day and already has a load of accessories he wants for it! Thanks for the great video
I really appreciate you taking the time to make things video. I just bought this little guy and I'm watching a lot of videos but I know I'll learn a lot when I get it in the air. The weather has finally broke into spring and I should be really happy flying it by summer. Thanks again ✌🏼️
I have the regular mini 2 which I bought used for an absolute steal with all the extras. While it doesn't have all the sensors and obstacle avoidance, it's a great learning drone because you have to actually fly it. The camera is amazing. Have taken it to the coast and I'm always looking for new remote places to go as I get tired of flying in crowded areas.
There's No Way Out, There's No Turning Back !!! Definitely you cannot escape being A Great Teacher, Communicant and Pedagogue ! What a Pleasant Video and Lesson, with the experience being pushed to the limits - Battery and Distance - to demonstrate the Confidence on the wonderful RTH function ! Thank You Again !!! No More Fear of Flying and Loosing Drone ! 😁😁😁
This 2SE was my first drone back in the spring (this year). Soon after, I picked up the M3P for the "obvious" features. However, I often grab this little drone and am still so amazed at the 2.7K video quality. I save the M3P for early, late day and night flights but love the 2SE in the daytime where I don't have to be concerned with obstacle avoidance. Thanks for the "refresher" video and for sharing!
As far as I’m concerned you did a excellent job with this project. Thanks to you I’m getting off my wallet and buying one with the fly more addition. Thank you
I purchased this guy the other day and just got it, then went looking here on YT while I charged it up. Very glad I picked this one, based solely on your review. I usually research the heck out of these things, but a 199 sale on Amazon got me pressing “Buy it now”. Thanks for posting this, you earned a sub from me.
Walmart has the Dji Mini 2 SE with 1 battery for $199.00. With tax $214.70. No bag, just a nice little box. So far, the best little drone I've ever had. ☆☆☆☆☆
Thank you for taking the time to go through this, I've just picked up my mini 2 SE, and now I have my operators license, am looking forward to have a play
Thank for showing how to fly and photography options my wife bought me mini2 Se for Christmas so I’m learning- you place looks amazing with the water feature
Thanks for the very very detailed video sir, the best one about the Mini 2 SE I have found so far on TH-cam and I mean it. Getting the little buddy tomorrow :)
Just bought the DJI Mini 2SE yesterday and can't wait to get it! Loved this video and your other video on the same drone! Have a couple 'old school' drones from a number of years ago - so much more available now! Loved how you demonstrated the different functions of this drone. I've watched many videos on this drone and only yours and one other that I've seen showed the RTH function - thanks. By my estimation your take off to landing flight time was 19:22, which isn't too bad for all the things you did, the distance you went, and the fact that about half the time you were in Sport mode - I'm assuming it uses more battery... Excellent video! A feature I love about this drone is how stable it is in wind - I believe it was your other video where there was a decent wind (could be seen when your clothes were moving in the wind), and the drone was so stable! Btw - only three times I got nervous: 1) flying over the birds - hoping they didn't take off and spoil your day; 2) flying that far away - so cool to see the capabilities of the drone going distance; and 3) RTH - was nervous it was going to land on the roof where you were sitting. Thanks for the video and the great information!
Lovely info, I'm flying mine I've had since last summer and used once. Cool features, looking forward to a nice day with three full batteries and my Samsung S20 plus!
I was meant to get this drone for Christmas but me being a big kid I had a few weeks before hand but I agree with you for a cheap dji drone is fab for what it is and I will defo upgrade in the future but for now this little drone is perfect for what I need it for with all the quick shots, great video and very informative good job 🤙
Thank you sir..really enjoyed the flight. as a beginner, I have been flying a very cheap china made drones for quite some time now. Have lost 2 so far. Bought another cheap E88 just to sharpen flight skills...In a couple of days, hopefully on Feb 8, my daughter will gift me a DJI Mini 2 SE. will view your channel to get some tips. Thank you again. BTW, I am writing from North Borneo Malaysia.
I bought the Mini 2SE after watching your videos Marcus. Its a great first drone and your videos have really helped me as a complete novice to learn the basics. Best regards from the UK...
Hello, I have a new Mini 2SE from xmas. The weather has been tough, so I haven't been able to use it much. Today was better so I took it up. Not too far from my home I received the message " weak signal - please adjust antenna." I had no clue, lost control for a moment then it was intermittent as I brought it back. Sounds like this is a widespread issue and I'm not very happy about. Has it happened to you? Any sure fire resolution before I give DJI support a piece of my mind? Thanks
Definitely a tutorial to watch, helping decide moreso to purchase the drone yet with reservations due to potential ban on DJI Drones, do you believe I'll be safe to buy prior to the ban & still be able to fly it afterwards should the ban take affect?
IDQ awesome vid thanks for giving me some security with flying. I am a brand new pilot that knows very little. I fly it around my house to get use to the controls , I've improved a lot in the control aspect. and you simplified the photo part for me . thank again I'm a new sub .
Just picked up a mini se 2 and your video is right on time. Personally I like the longer video format for the thoroughness. Good job Marcus. Useless 'Gull' Facts: (Ornithologically speaking "Gull" would be the more accurate term) There are a handful of different 'Gulls' out there, several of which never even see the sea, but the 'Herring Gull' would be your quintessential "Seagull", and while they prefer coastal locations, even they can be found far inland. As it turns out things are just much easier around us humans. The food is more abundant, it's generally warmer and there are far fewer predators running around which is too invitining for most Gulls. Not to mention Idaho has some pretty big bodies of water, not an ocean, of course, but Lake Pend Oreille comes to mind. I think it's the largest at 40 or so miles??
I just got my first drone yesterday and its the DJI mini 2 SE so im excited to try it out. Any tips for a first time drone owner? What are your thoughts on upgrades like landing gear and propeller guards?
@@IdahoQuadcopter oh ok. That makes sense. So they under 250g rule, does that apply to out of box weight or does that include any and all upgrades to the drone? I know I don't have to register it if it's under that weight, but where can I learn more about the rules and restrictions when flying?
@@IdahoQuadcopter awesome. Thank you for this. I'll start there and maybe I'll try to get my license too even though I probably won't need it since I just plan on using my drone on my property since I have 7 acres to play around on. Although I'm sure this thing can travel those 7 acres in a few seconds. Thanks for the help. Take care.
marcus i love your channel been following a long time now i love your genuine and honest approach to the drones i am one of those that has just purchased a dji mini2se for christmas after many failed journeys into the world of the lesser cheap copies i wonder if you could possibly do a little video that goes into that radar compass feature in the bottom left in slightly more detail . Keep the videos coming hope you had a wonderful christmas best wishes from south wales uk
Got out boxing day for an hour, just managed to grab a slot with no rain. First time flying, was a bit nervous but soon settled into it. Quite easy to fly and the remote is quite responsive, took some video, not the best but with a bit of practice im hoping to get some nice footage.
I just bought one today. I have the original mini se and it’s a good drone, but I really want the control range and zoom camera this one offers. Plus I got it at a great price.
My 13yr old boy just bought one with he's hard saved pocket money here in the UK £270 sale price what a superb little drone had a windy test flight just after Christmas day handled so well .Great video well explained now subscribed ps one Q what happens with controllability when 'lost single' shows up ? Happy New Year from 🇬🇧
I record to a micro SD card on the drone. You can cache lower res video to your mobile device if you wish. Or you can transfer the full res version to your mobile via the app.
Love your channel, very informative. I lost my drone (dji mini se) while flying over the wetland on the Chesapeake bay. I did not know that military aircraft will jam your gps signal. Just a f.y.i. The plane was several miles away and i was flying in a unrestricted air space. I was doing everything right. It was in the rth mode, then all video stopped, lost signal and have looked for the drone but it is gone. Just wanted my fellow dronies to know about passing military aircraft. We are in a busy jetway here and do have alot military aircraft flying by.😢
DJI Air 3 has the possibility to turn off that annoying RTH beep.I don't understand why DJI didn't add this facilty to all of their drones.I mean it's a software issue.Man what a beautiful park you got there.
Hello The FAA Requires You to Have A Drone License To Be Able To Not Have To Keep Your Drone In Your Field Of View Am I Correct Cause I’m Looking Into Getting A DJI Mini 2 SE
Thanks for the tutorial. Just got my mini 2 SE and have am having difficulty understanding the Chinese book that comes with it. Specifically, which free app do I want for my iPhone? Seems there are a few to choose from. Thanks!
My first gps drone I bought I put it up in the air and watched it fly off and never saw it again. What a crazy bunch of emotions but mostly the names I called myself would make you laugh ✌🏼️
Marcus, When you're flying over traffic and neighborhoods like this, do you have to get a waiver for flying over people? Or is incidental flyover okay with the FAA part 107 certificate?
@@IdahoQuadcopter Thanks. After I asked this question, I found another video that went over the current rules and some courtesy/professionalism tips, too. Keep up the good work. I'm studying for my Part 107.

This is 1 of the best ,if not the best, beginner drones.
You are spot on!
I have the Mini 2 and i have the Mini 2SE. When i go out and fly i take either or. They are both fabulous drones.
I agree! Both drones are great!
I mean its pretty much the same thing.... losing a few features with the SE.
Just a good airframe, camera and software for the price overall

Do you have to register with the FAA? Can you fly it anywhere as long as it’s for recreational purposes, and under 400 feet?
Sub-250g you don't have to register, but you're still bound by FAA regs. Google the FAA Done Zone.
Nice overview, Marcus. Cheers for the New Year.
Happy new year George! Thank you!
When you hit record for the video, does it go to your videos on the iPhone? Or how do you go back to watch them? Thank you.
I record to a micro SD card on the drone. You can cache lower res video to your mobile device if you wish. Or you can transfer the full res version to your mobile via the app.
WOW..BIG THANX. ima newbee droner with a nu DJI Mini 2 SE. perfect ... Its new years eve and ill haver to watchet again ! Hapy New Years dude !!!
Thank you! Enjoy the new drone!
I just got my mini 2se. How come mine doesn't have all those boomerang features
It does. Make sure you have a micro-SD (TF) card installed. 👍
Love your channel, very informative. I lost my drone (dji mini se) while flying over the wetland on the Chesapeake bay. I did not know that military aircraft will jam your gps signal. Just a f.y.i. The plane was several miles away and i was flying in a unrestricted air space. I was doing everything right. It was in the rth mode, then all video stopped, lost signal and have looked for the drone but it is gone. Just wanted my fellow dronies to know about passing military aircraft. We are in a busy jetway here and do have alot military aircraft flying by.😢
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear you lost your drone!
Loved the video appreciate every bit of info, thanks
Thank you for watching!
good job. Liked.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!
Great video. Awesome! Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
apparently you can stop the low battery alarm by pressing the power button once while between 6% to 10%. At 5% it can no longer be silenced.
Thank you. I'll try that.
DJI Air 3 has the possibility to turn off that annoying RTH beep.I don't understand why DJI didn't add this facilty to all of their drones.I mean it's a software issue.Man what a beautiful park you got there.
Thank you! Yes, the beeping is super annoying.
Hello The FAA Requires You to Have A Drone License To Be Able To Not Have To Keep Your Drone In Your Field Of View Am I Correct Cause I’m Looking Into Getting A DJI Mini 2 SE
This drone does not require registration. It is sub-250g.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Ok Thanks
Awesome, enjoyed watching 🤩👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Really helpful video thanks. Just one question. Is there any reason why you stopped recording when demonstrating the various automatic manoeuvres?
You have to stop recording before you initiate any of the automated flight modes. The drone then records them automatically.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Ah right, now I understand, thanks.
Excellent presentation. Are you surprised at only getting 1K of range?
Not really I was under a roof and in a WiFi intense urban environment. 👍
Nice vid. Do you think its worth getting the propeller protrction for it?
I would only use prop guards indoors, and I never fly indoors. 🙂
Good Job, Sir! My go to informer!
Much appreciated! Thank you!
Great video. I enjoyed watching that, really helps make the decision…
Glad it was helpful!
I’m just looking at buying the SE. Looks like a sweet bit of kit…
Thanks for the tutorial. Just got my mini 2 SE and have am having difficulty understanding the Chinese book that comes with it. Specifically, which free app do I want for my iPhone? Seems there are a few to choose from. Thanks!
Use the DJI Fly app. 👍
My first gps drone I bought I put it up in the air and watched it fly off and never saw it again. What a crazy bunch of emotions but mostly the names I called myself would make you laugh ✌🏼️
Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear that. Your Mini 2 SE will do much better. 🙂
Hi. I will get my mini 2 SE next week. My first drone. Do I need to install any apps on my android to fly this? Thanks
Yes, you will want the DJI Fly App. 👍
Great explanation ! Thanks !
Thank you, I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Marcus, When you're flying over traffic and neighborhoods like this, do you have to get a waiver for flying over people? Or is incidental flyover okay with the FAA part 107 certificate?
Flying over house is just fine. Not a problem.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Thanks. After I asked this question, I found another video that went over the current rules and some courtesy/professionalism tips, too.
Keep up the good work. I'm studying for my Part 107.
