That means you can easily power it with an external battery pack in your backpack and have it charge your drone’s batteries as you move from one location to another. Next Level Content Creation is at your fingertips, and has never been easier. Creative aerial shots are easy thanks to effortlessly smooth 4k @ 60FPS video. The D-Cinelike flat color profile retains more information for post process editing. A single frame separates exposure levels in different areas, accurately capturing light and dark details.
I’ve seen some third-party options online, but the camera isn’t designed for them. On rare occasions some video clips did look choppy due to very fast shutter speeds, but for the most part it has been surprisingly tolerable. The lack of ND filters speaks more to who DJI had in mind as a potential consumer. Most people don’t go through the hassle of learning about and using ND filters, but I wish it was an option for the few of us who do invest more time in the filming process. I’m also a big fan of the charging hub, which you can buy separately for an additional $39. It fits up to three batteries and charges them one by one, starting with the least-drained battery.
The 4k camera is good and can be manipulated for just the right shot. Overall it’s a great starting point for a cinematic drone pilot. Drone-style camera transmits stunning 4K footage from up to 6.2 miles away and 2.5 miles high while resisting wind gusts of 19–24 miles per hour. Since I carry a backpack all the time, most of the time full, for my hiking, I need to make sure my backpack isn’t squishing the drone.
The drone features up to 30 minutes of flight time on a full battery charge. As we have seen above, the two-way charging hub is only included in the fly more combo package. This accessory allows you to sequentially recharge the three intelligent flight batteries included in the combo. Furthermore, you can use the two-way phantom 4 charging hub to supply some power to your phone or the remote controller, something that has proven very useful in certain situations. The DJI Mini 2 is an impressive little drone that adds better image quality in a lightweight body. It’s fun and easy to fly with improved video quality that now at 100Mbps.
These short videos can be shared immediately with friends or posted on various social media platforms. CineSmooth is another camera mode that slows the Mini’s speed and movements, giving you greater precision and stability in tight spaces. The dji mini 2 fly more combo includes additional accessories along with the aircraft. These extra accessories include a shoulder bag to transport the Mini 2, cables, two extra flight batteries, replacement components, and more.
There’s also not much point in taking out the battery from the drone if it’s the last one, since you can charge it inside the drone and use the same battery for the next flight. So I think I’ll end up using the charger with only 2 batteries. Unless I get 1 extra battery, to have 4, which brings me to the next point… This model comes in an even lighter body compared to its original version, a model designed to be used in all situations. This new DJI drone weighs less than 249 gr and is the perfect size to fit in the palm of your hand.
Note that when you connect the mobile device with the aircraft for the first time, you need to press the indicator button once to confirm connection. Enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the mobile device, launch the DJI Fly app, and there will be a prompt to connect to the aircraft. OcuSync 2.0 supports both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands. It features stronger interference resistance due to automatic frequency switching, delivering video transmission feeds at up to 10 km (when unobstructed, free of interference, and FCC-compliant). Registration is not required in the UK when below 250g. Be aware, this does not come with onboard storage or an SD card, you will need an SD card to take and save high quality videos/photos.
The toggles allow for smooth pans, even in Sports mode – once you have got used to the controls. The output display is designed to help the operator and provides sufficient, but not too much, real time information. Return to Home – Like most recent DJI drones, DJI Mini 2 can return to its home point automatically when there is sufficient GPS.
It is still a very portable drone, but paired with two extra batteries and a controller, it becomes a little hard to carry for hours on end. Speaking of that camera, it is a 4K shooter at 100Mbps data rate. In front of that sensor is a f/2.8 24mm lens with an effective 83-degree field of view. Video is captured in MP4 (H.264) format, while photos are JPG with the option to also capture DNG raw images. That’s a 2X lossless zoom when shooting in 1080p, with at least a 2X lossy zoom in all shooting modes.
The DJI Mini, the predecessor of the Mini 2 did an impressive job and opened a whole new spot on the market. Why is it so ridiculously popular and has such good reviews? Today I was thinking about what are the most popular drones on the market. After a little pondering, I couldn’t decide which was the number one, but I am sure we all agree that the DJI Mini 2 is on the podium. The DJI Mini 2 is a superb update from the Mavic Mini, now offering a 4K camera, Ocusync 2.0 and more power. The Two-Way Charging Hub of Mavic Mini cannot charge the batteries of DJI Mini 2, whereas that of DJI Mini 2 can charge the batteries of Mavic Mini.
