DJI newer and cheaper version of its Mini 2 drone

13/2/2023

DJI has announced its latest lightweight drone aimed at those on a budget.

The firm’s SE models are more affordable alternatives which tend to sacrifice a few features here and there to bring the cost down.

The Mini 2 SE maintains this theme, taking the popular Mini 2, tweaking the specifications and making it a lot more wallet friendly.

DJI Mini 2 SE release date

22 March 2023

The new drone will be available to buy from DJI’s website and its partners including Apple from 22 March.

DJI Mini 2 SE price

The standard edition (shown below) which comes with a remote controller, a single battery and spare propellers, costs USD$359 (~S$474.86). There’s a Fly More Combo which costs USD$469 (~S$620.36). This includes two extra batteries, extra spare props, a charger for all three batteries and a shoulder bag.

Although it’s quite a bit more expensive than the original DJI Mini SE, you’re getting a much improved remote controller.
