Last year’s DJI mavic mini was the smallest and lightest full-featured drone on the market. Today, the DJI Mini 2 – do n’t call it a mavic – is addressing some of its limitations.

The $ 449 drone now comes with DJI’s ocusync 2 wireless connectivity for up to 2.5 times the wireless range and more stable connectivity. The original was unusual among DJI’s drones for relying on relatively shaky Wi-Fi.

It uses the same controller as the new mavic Air 2. The drone’s advanced obstacle avoidance and tracking has far fewer sensors.

The Mini 2 adds its maximum video resolution up to 4K at 30 frames per second at a 100Mbps bitrate. You can grab raw photos now instead of just JPG, as well as do auto exposure bracketing.

Dji says it’s upgraded the Mini’s flight motors for faster acceleration and a top speed of 35.8 mph (up from 29 mph). The Mini should also withstand 24 mph gusts of wind, compared to 18 mph previously.

You’ll pay $ 449 for the DJI Mini 2 with a controller and one battery. $ 599 for the fly more combo with three batteries, a charging hub, and a carrying case.
