I have been rocking my mini 2 for 3 years now. It has been through rain, snow, water spray(i use to film sailing boats and windsurfing really close to the waves), wind gusts of about 10m/s and some trees and it is still going strong. I would argue it is the best drone that dji has ever relased
I’d say it was the most fun, yes!
How’s your batteries? Any swelling? I’ve had my mini 2 for 3 1/2 years, ~120cycles, and the batteries are slightly swelled, more so after using. But still usable.
@@70Marc None, i would have to check the cycles but i belive they are around 100
Proud mini 2 fly more combo since new. Still best drone for that price point and it hits above its class
Yep, totally!
I have a lot of drones but my favorites are my 2 Mini 2 drones. Like you I've flown the Mini 2 for 4 years and it just keeps going and going. I bought a second as a backup drone in case I ever crash the original. The 2nd mini 2 was only flown twice and then boxed up for the future. It's just so good that I want to fly these little guys well into the future. So, I don't need a Mini 2 4K. However, I am glad for this release because that means the batteries for it will continue to be available. So that's what I'm interested in. I'll probably buy and store about 10 of them for use in the future. I'm 58 now, so these little drones will be with me probably the rest of my life. There just perfect! Cheers.
haha so true!! It's basically a good old car, the Mini 2 will keep on flying and flying! I really think as the Mini 4K has the same shell as the Mini 2 SE it's probably worse quality than the Mini 2, so I'm keeping mine as long as I can.
My thoughts exactly, plus no third-party apps. I actually just ordered the Mini 4 Pro as an upgrade from the Mini 2 I've owned for 3 years, and looking back it's still insane what they've been able to pack into these things.
I am always in awe by how incredible these drones are. The truth is, if you know how you can make it look incredible, if not even an Inspire 3 won’t help you.
I just bought mini 2 SE standard edition. Sold my mini se but still have "fly more" charger and 2 extra batteries from it which fit to my new mini 2 SE. It was ultra cheap upgrade. I spend only ~ 80E. Mini SE was excatly the same like Mini SE 2 but range of it was so poor. Now i got what I want. Prices of drones now are super low in compare to this 2 years ago. I dont need 3 or 4 which are really cool but all I need i have now for my droning ;)
That’s true, the prices are great and the range on the Mini 2 SE is a million times better than the Mini SE 🔥
I just bought the mini 4k and love it, but I’m having trouble using quick transfer in the app. Strangely, it may automatically save images and videos to my iPhone photos folder but I don’t know yet if these are full quality. I hope they are.
At last… a kudos video for the Mini2. Got mine in the first Covid and learned how to fly, observe where I’m flying, plan flights etc. still get a thrill getting a good day to fly and get the Mini2 out and about. Got envy when the 4 came out but waited for winter and the weather to change, got my mini out and envy disappeared… thanks for this one Philip…
The Mini 2 is still an excellent little drone, so much so that they basically re-released it as the Mini 4K 😂 I’m actually very surprised nothing was changed, and they even removed the cool Night Rider LED!
This is great. It means continued support for the Mini 2. Continued production of batteries. Plus..it physically smaller than the Mini 3/4 series.
Yes, that's correct! They've basically prolonged its life.
The Mini 2 is still a beast. I have it on its way to Armenia right now so I can get back into using it and capturing landscapes. Still haven't seen a reason to upgrade aside from battery life!
Even the battery life is good enough if you know what you want to capture.
I still have my Mini 2 drone! It's great, I have been tempted many times, but still love my Mini 2!!
The Mini 2 is still a great drone, that's why I've kept mine, kind of sentimental about it.
I have been keeping my Mini 2 assuming I would crash it eventually and replace it then, but it has been so good to me! I shoot a lot of paid content for car dealers with it to this day (provided lighting is at least reasonable)
It’s a little monster, mind you I’ve even had luck with it after dark, great little drone.
Still love my Mini 2, it will always be a lil' beast and DJI's cult drone😉🤘
It sure will!
I've got the Mavic 3 Pro and Mini 3 Pro. That's well over $3K total, not included extra batteries, etc.
Mini 4K got me more excited. Instant purchase. $300 no-brainer. Why?
I will put the $300 into much sketchier scenarios than my $900 Mini 3 Pro or $2200 Mavic 3 Pro.
Not dangerous situations for people, animals, property, etc, but scenarios where the drone may get damaged to get a good shot.
"I want this shot, but it's raining, dusty, etc."
So it fits right into a "pro" drone kit.
But the most exciting aspect is it's appeal to new drone owners. For $300, it's still excessively capable to fly around our boring neighborhoods, which is all 99% of drone owners will do anyway.
Your neighborhood is going to get real boring, real quick, and the drone will collect dust 360 days out if the year.
Better $300 is collecting dust than $3,000.
Do tou think a mini 5 will come out or is the mini 4 maxed out?
I'm sure it will. DJI has to make money somehow.
Hi, do you know if we could pair this drone with the DJI RC?
I don't believe so, no.
I have the original Mini (Mini 1, I guess), is there any compelling reason to move to the Mini 2?
Oh yes!! Transmission! The signal on the DJI Mini 2, or now the DJI Mini 4K is light years ahead.
@@PhillipSkraba Ahh, thankyou- good to know! One thing that I was never impressed with but 'lived with' was the transmission. Appreciate it, thanks :)
It's night and day when it comes to the Mini 2/4K transmission.
Yeah, I'm still on Mini 1 SE - beats the hell out of the rest!
No idea, I never actually tried the Mini SE.
Maybe they can release an Air 5k which would be an Air 2S. I lost my Air 2S and I still have the extra batteries and the controller. I’d buy that.
Yeah, ours crashed into the Baltic Sea 😂
I lost mine in a forest in the state of Georgia. It’s probably still up the pine tree it hit. My fault by the way. Unfortunately I never found it. Expensive mistake.
You must be the first to say it's the Mini 2 out loud! The price is excellent, though.
Well, minus the cool LED the Mini 2 has on the front, it's identical.
Another difference is the controller included with the "new" Mini 4k only has one battery instead of the usual two, therefore only half the battery life.
@@grahamniven You're kidding?
Nope, the "new" N1C controller has had a battery downgrade.
It'll still last three drone batteries worth of flights, but will need charging more frequently than the original N1
@@grahamniven I had no idea, that's wild. So no LED light and the controller has one battery less. The drone did get a 0 sticker though!
You are correct saying that the Mini 2 is the same as the Mini 4k the only differents is the light maybe they decided to save battery power by not adding one who knows and being that the body is compact shorter arms and props than the Mini pros I feel it can withstand a crash better a solid little drone and say if you had to chose the Mini 2 or the Mini 4k and wanted one being that it is the same drone would you pick one that has been discontinued or one that just came out ? To me getting the Mini 4k makes more sense that was my decision to buy one both are great drones Great video !
I would go get the $299 Mini 4K version right now, but like I said, it's in a Mini 2 SE shell, maybe, just maybe the Mini 2 was built better.
@@PhillipSkraba The Mini 2 Mini 2se Mini 4k same shell same motors same props same batterys same flight times same built quality other than 4k If I had the Mini 2 I would not buy the Mini 4k but since it was discontinued it would be a better choice right now the price is cheap just think you can buy the Mini 4k for a back up drone you already have the batterys and controller or vice versa and maybe they will add it to the screen controller if they can make a profit by doing so on the Mini pro models I feel they can reinforce the joint areas a little better also the Mini 4k hovering flight time of 25 minutes as the Mini 4 pro 23 minutes in testing on the standard battery each drone has pros and cons I do have the Mini 3 with the screen controller that I like Phillip looking forward to your next video !
Well, the Mini 2 has a Mini 2 label inside the body, the Mini 2 SE and Mini 4K have Mini 2 SE labels inside the body, so on that basis I'm under the impression that it's slightly worse in build quality. I would however love if I could connect the Mini 2 or Mini 4K to the DJI RC controller, that would be fantastic!
@@PhillipSkraba Phillp the RC screen controller would be nice
DJI is awfully bold to pull a stunt like this.
Well, I think everyone somehow forgetting the Mini 2 existed is funny.
Dji mini 3 is around 320 usd on my country dtraight from official dji store, so yeah, mini2 SE and 4k seems to not worth it.
Yep
I think the Mini 4K looks like a downgrade. Some of the changes are: No front LEDs, RC-N1C controller only works with the Mini 4K and has one battery vs the RC-N1, Mini 4K has a fake file transfer button that doesn't work, and if you look under the battery door it reads "Mini 2 SE"
The real question here is if you had to replace your mini 2. Would you buy a used mini 2 or the mini 4k?
Yes, I think I'd buy the Mini 4K.
Mini 4K lacks SDK.
It has 4K now though! That is so cool.
@@PhillipSkraba 4K doesn't make the story.
@@3goldfinger My humour is lost on you guys. The DJI Mini 2 had 4K and the same exact specs years ago. This is a replica.
It’s cheaper
Wait, so.. how do you know they're the same?
Well, can you name one difference?
@@PhillipSkraba The camera resolution is different. We have no way of knowing what else is different, but they're absolutely not the same.
@@billsmith5166 It's funny, I flew the Mini 2 probably more than anyone I know, and I'm about 110% certain the camera resolution is identical, as is every single other spec, including design. The Mini 4K lacks the LED light up front that lets you see the drone at night and it also comes with a controller that has 50% the power of the original.
I think what's happened here is pretty obvious. You've fallen into the trap that was set up for the general public. The DJI Mini 2 SE vs the DJI Mini 4K... It's like DJI erased the memory of the DJI Mini 2 from everyone's mind. The DJI Mini 2 is the same drone, exactly the same drone, and in fact it's probably better as it has an LED light, a controller with 50% more power AND probably a higher quality material.
If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
@@PhillipSkraba How about this one. What drone in the DJI line is the 4K replacing?
@@billsmith5166 It's not replacing any of them, it is the DJI Mini 2, don't confuse that with the DJI Mini 2 SE.
My Mini 2 is useless in NY disconnects within 10 seconds
Really? Mine was pretty good in cities.
@@PhillipSkraba On the original firmware when I first got it it worked great. I should have never done updates. Now it disconnects 10 seconds in. I haven't tried other cities. :(
Seagulls will be happy. They really miss the Mini 2, or “sugar pants” as it’s known in the bigoted seagull world. Poor Mini 2.
Sugar pants is a golden oldie, such a great drone. I've put my Mini 2 through so much hell, I'm surprised it still flies as well as it does.
@@PhillipSkraba It is a total gem. I loved mine, just couldn’t justify or afford to keep the previous incarnations when new ones were released. Damn. This one should be a good choice for those who wisely want a good quality budget drone instead of a “this will do everything but actually nothing” Amazon drone. People need the quality!
@LowryDroneography-Steve I agree, the Mini 2 was excellent, and the Mini 4K now, it’s a good solid no bells no whistles type of drone.
Like if you already have a mini 2 don’t get it
