DJI's most affordable drone — sub-249g entry with 2.7K camera and 31-minute flight time.
The DJI Mini 2 SE was released in 2023 as an entry-level sub-249g foldable drone with 2.7K maximum video — not 4K. 1/2.3-inch CMOS, 12MP. 31-minute maximum flight time. 246g takeoff weight — under the 249g registration threshold in most jurisdictions. No front or rear obstacle avoidance; downward infrared sensing only.
1/2.3-inch CMOS, 12MP. 2.7K (2720×1530) at 30fps; 1080p up to 60fps. No 4K — the 2.7K maximum is the SE's key limitation versus the DJI Mini 4K (2024). 31-minute maximum flight time. 246g takeoff weight (under 249g registration threshold). Downward infrared sensing for stable hover; no forward, lateral, or upward obstacle avoidance. Fixed camera.
The Mini 2 SE provides DJI's entry-level sub-249g form factor at the lowest price point: 2.7K (rather than 4K) is the specification compromise. The 246g weight keeps it below registration requirements in most jurisdictions. No obstacle avoidance means attentive manual piloting is required around obstacles.
On the used market the DJI Mini 2 SE is affordable as an entry-level sub-249g drone. Condition checks: battery health, gimbal and camera function, propeller condition. 2.7K max (no 4K). Under 249g. No obstacle avoidance. Fixed camera.
