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 !
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.
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!
@@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
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!!✌🏾
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.
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 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
Thanks for the very very detailed video sir, the best one about the Mini 2 SE I have found so far on UA-cam and I mean it. Getting the little buddy tomorrow :)
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
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 ! 😁😁😁
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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
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.
i would love one but im in CT, im next to state parks, airports and military areas. plus i go up north to NH and all parks show signs says no drones, its like whats the point of having a drone then? always like watching vids though.
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 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.
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?
can you set a way point or GPS course to fly to a predetermined location and back? I just got my Mini 4K and while I was shopping I looked at one drone that would follow a specific course.
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 🤙
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.😢
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 .
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
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 my freind a great review I am completely new to drones I haven’t purchase one as of yet but I am wondering do you have to have I iPhone to use this drone or can every think you showed can be done manually or on a android A12 Samsung glgreat review my freind
I cannot press the led “button” light for quick transfer. There is no give to it like a normal switch. Is it a touch sensitive switch, or am I missing something?
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!
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.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Good afternoon. I have Taken my Trust certificate online. I will be flying recreational for fun. And I have downloaded LAANC app to make sure I am flying safely in Authorization not required areas. My question is 1. Do I need to Remote ID my drone !? 2. When I go To Destin Florida the beach area there is a lot of red with 0 squares on my LAANC map, Do I still need approval to fly in these areas for recreation proposes (flying less than 400 ft) !?
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 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.
Hello, can you add celcius when you says the temperature in your area? In my country we use metric system and I don't know how hot or cold is that but its okay no need to add that,thank you for using meters as your distance and speed though. Good video as always. Stay safe and Happy New Year 🎉
Help! I went to go use my Mini 2 SE today and my DJI Fly app won't open. I recently upgraded my phone (samsung) software. I see that they discontinued the software DJI Fly. So now what? I paid for an app last year but that doesn't show the camera view, just a black screen. I'm able to get it up in the air but that's it. I hate this. I assume that if I had an apple phone, it would work. From what I have seen in your video, you make no mention of the software you are using. I could use some advice. Thanks!
@IdahoQuadcopter thank you! I did that. Very frustrating that there's not an app anymore. And after I downloaded it, I got an email that was all in Japanese. Ugh
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 was the video that made me buy one, so happy with it, best purchase for a while
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 !

I have not had that issue with My Mini 2 SE. Occusync is quite robust. 👍
What are the minimum number of locked satellites I should have before I fly?
I think it's 12 or 13. Wait until the drone says that the home point is locked.
That’s one thing I always make sure to do is to have that home point locked
And thank you for your response
Am i able to attach guards to this drone?

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?

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
Thank you Richard! You will really enjoy that Mini 2 SE. It is so much better than some of the bargain drones.
Thank you for sharing great information. But I have an issue I am not able to fly my drone pass 50m. Can you assist me?
You either have the drone in beginner mode, or you are not logged in to your DJI account. 👍
This is 1 of the best ,if not the best, beginner drones.
You are spot on!
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...
Thank you, I'm glad you found the video helpful. Happy New Year!
Hello my freind a great review I am completely new to drones I haven’t purchase one as of yet but I am wondering do you have to have I iPhone to use this drone or can every think you showed can be done manually or on a android A12 Samsung glgreat review my freind
Android phones work great. Check DJI's website for your phones compatability.
@@IdahoQuadcopter thank you my freind
I cannot press the led “button” light for quick transfer. There is no give to it like a normal switch. Is it a touch sensitive switch, or am I missing something?
The LED on the Mini 2 SE is not a button. I transfer files via SD card. 👍
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. 👍
Good job, Marcus! There is a drone for every budget and for every use the consumer wants. Have a great New Year!
I agree with that statement Fred. DJI has us covered!
Awesome, enjoyed watching 🤩👍
Thank you! Cheers!
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.
Malasia is a beautiful country. I'll be there are a lot of great places to fly. Have fun!
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.
Nice review 👌.. I bought one about a month ago and it's great only have 3 flights on it so far..
You bought a nice little drone!
Hey man how do I get the videos from it to the phone in high quality (not using quick transfer beacuse it doesnt have one sadly😢)
I guess you would need a dongle for your phone and use the SD card. 🤷♂️
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. 👍
Dear Sir I took the TRUST certification do I need to remote id this drone since its 246 G ?
Your drone is under 250 grams so nothing further is needed. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter Good afternoon. I have Taken my Trust certificate online. I will be flying recreational for fun. And I have downloaded LAANC app to make sure I am flying safely in Authorization not required areas. My question is
1. Do I need to Remote ID my drone !?
2. When I go To Destin Florida the beach area there is a lot of red with 0 squares on my LAANC map, Do I still need approval to fly in these areas for recreation proposes (flying less than 400 ft) !?
Great video. Awesome! Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Wait so were you flying with the mine 2 se min 3 mini 4 or mini 1
Ha! I think it was the Mini 5! 😄
Does the mini 2se have follow me features?
No it does not.
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'm all in on useless Gull facts! 😄 Thank you for stopping by!
Is the app available for redmi note 8 pro?
For android you need to download the Fly app directly from DJI.
i want to buy one of these from amazon , does the drone come with a connector to work with my iPhone 11 ?
Yes, it comes with a lighting connector for your iPhone. DJI Mini SE: amzn.to/3jTbBzM
Love it
I have one of these on order should arrive today
It is a fantastic little drone! Have fun!
I envy. Been raining here all week no fly for me . Nice sharing
Same here. Got the drone as a Xmas gift and only been able to fly it 5 minutes
lol same, been raining all week but it’s good weather today and I’m about to go out and fly it this afternoon for the first time.
@@WeeedyMcMeth I did too! It was awesome!
great video. thank you I am travelling to USA later in the year so glad it is 249gms as a bonus!!!
The US drone rules are quite easy. I hope you have a pleasant trip! 🙂
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.
Congratulations! You will love the drone!
Yeah you do. It might be small but it'll be an upgrade still.
Plus same batteries
Hello, can you add celcius when you says the temperature in your area? In my country we use metric system and I don't know how hot or cold is that but its okay no need to add that,thank you for using meters as your distance and speed though.
Good video as always. Stay safe and Happy New Year 🎉
Thank you! Here is a converter that may help. www.metric-conversions.org/temperature/fahrenheit-to-celsius.htm
@@IdahoQuadcopter Thank you
Was debating on ordering one, saw it only had 30 minute lifetimes though. Any battery packs or something?
Yes, you can get a Flymore Kit with three batteries.
Help! I went to go use my Mini 2 SE today and my DJI Fly app won't open. I recently upgraded my phone (samsung) software. I see that they discontinued the software DJI Fly. So now what? I paid for an app last year but that doesn't show the camera view, just a black screen. I'm able to get it up in the air but that's it. I hate this. I assume that if I had an apple phone, it would work. From what I have seen in your video, you make no mention of the software you are using. I could use some advice. Thanks!
You can download the FLY app directly from DJI's download page. 👍
@IdahoQuadcopter thank you! I did that. Very frustrating that there's not an app anymore. And after I downloaded it, I got an email that was all in Japanese. Ugh
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.
Fantastic guide. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Hey mark yes you're wright about this drone I love it but I already crash twice for flying low ran in to bird twice it's at DJI getting repair😊
Thank you David! It is a great little drone!
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. 🙂
