The Mini 2 SE is the latest addition to the DJI Mini series that offers several smart features that make it easy to use. Mini 2 SE offers a maximum range of 10 km HD video transmission with a maximum flight time of 31 minutes. In addition to the smart features, the Mini 2 SE has smart features like QuickShots and Panorama that allow for more creative shots.

With a level 5 wind resistance, the aircraft is able to hover stably in a wind speed of 10.7 m/s and keep images stable.
