    Comparing the mini 2se to the air2s isn’t really fair. $299 compared to the airs $1000 is a huge price difference. The mini is absolutely great for what it is intended for. The air2 is just a much more capable and expensive drone. I own both and love both.

      Great point. I just wanted to show the quality difference instead of fully compare the two drones. There's an amazing deal at BestBuy in the states right now for a $749 Mavic Air 2S combo. I agree that both drones are incredible. DJI is crushing the game!

      @@Nick-bo6rz The Mini 2 SE has a controller to operate the drone but you must connect either a smartphone or a tablet to see what the camera is seeing. Either IOS or Android devices will work. If you would rather have a built in screen with the controller bypass the Mini 2SE and go for a Mini 3 (Pro) or the new Mini 4 Pro packages that come with the DJI RC. It’s more money but those are great drones too that are beginner friendly.

Found this Mini 2 SE and it has features I like so I had to check out a review. Looks like I'll buy this one, my only concern is the sensors as I live in the woods but we shall see lol

    I have travelled to Jordan last year (April 2023), brought my mini 2 flymore package in my cabin luggage without any problem. Took some videos in Wadi Rum desert. I have crashed that mini 2 in Meteora Greece 3 days ago at the top of a hill. I hit a bush on a hill that shaped like a tombstone trying to turn around a monastery. Side sensors are a must for drones.

    Great review. I am looking to get my first drone, just want to get one to mess around and have some fun while hiking with my dogs. Seems like this is a good one to start with. I will definitely avoid flying on windy days. I work at an engineering and survey firm and our survey group has a monster drone they use and it is unaffected by wind but I figured that was probably due to the size and the crazy price tag. Coworker asked me if I want to fly the one at work and I said heck no…the lidar sensor alone is crazy expensive in it

    Hey man, I have owned the Mini 2 SE for a little over a year now. I found out almost immediately why the gimbal does that in sport mode. Because it is such a small drone, the profile of where the camera is very close to the top of the drone. Because it is a small drone, it will need to be tilted further to be able to reach top speed. The top of the drone would get in the way of the camera view so it tilts the camera forward to make the quality of the high speed footage better. Hope that helps.

    Hey matty! I saw this video and I was debating if I should get this. I have a broken mavic 1 air that I sent in for repair and they said they would repair it for $200. Note that im also new to flying. Should I go through with the repair or purchase a refurbished Mini 2 SE. Thanks!

    Are you sure the gimbal is jerking downward when you accelerate in sport mode? The drone itself has to pitch steeply forward to fly fast and my guess is the gimbal physically can’t angle *up* high enough to compensate.

    There is no fix for the gimbal jerk. It is common for all the Mini 2 drones. I can sometimes place my Mini 2 in sport mode and carefully and very slowly come up to full speed and the gimbal might hold for a shot or two, but a sudden sports mode acceleration will definitely cause that gimbal to jerk.

    • @asdaven1

      @MattyDCCollins Agreed. But ive heard horror stories with cheaper drones with obstacle avoidance where if it saw a shadow it would stop and people not able to bring their drone back and no manual override. If a drone has it, it needs to have a ability to go in the settings to turn it off if need be.
      But I feel it's important to learn how to fly a drone and not depend on obstacle avoidance. I get that it's useful like if trying to get an autonomous shot through the woods or between obstacles. But other than that to me its like "headless mode" . It's better to learn to fly the drone and pay attention to the direction and if coming to you and going away from you. Headless mode now confuses me because I've gotten used to the normal flying.

    Just observe the drone position in sport mode. Moving forward at full speed will have the drone in a very nose down position. So the gimbal have limitation on tilting above drone horizontal position. to test this point, angle your camera 80 degrees down and push forward. Will have no issue maintaining the angle relative to true horizontal.
