Future Flight|May 2023
Shenzhen DJI Sciences and Ltd, more widely Technologies known as Da Jiang Innovations, or simply DJI is a Chinese state-backed designer and manufacturer of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
DJI ANNOUNCES MINI 2 SE DRONE

The release of DJI's new Mini 2 SE drone strategically expands the company's Mini line and offers drone operators yet another powerful and portable UAV by which to accomplish their professional and/or recreational objectives.

A step up from the Mini SE, the Mini 2 SE improves upon many of the Mini SE's features while maintaining its resolution. However, in comparison to the Mini 2, the Mini 2 SE, while retaining the former model's functionality, concedes a degree of image resolution. Nevertheless, with the advent of the Mini 2 SE, DJI delivers an entry-level drone at once capable of delivering pro-style quality and remaining accessible to casual and beginner pilots alike. After the fashion of all Mini drones, the Mini 2 SE, notwithstanding the inclusion of an intelligent flight battery, efficient rotors and an optional microSD card, masses less than 0.55-pounds, a weight that keeps the model under the FAA's regulatory threshold for registration and renders it an ideal choice for individuals seeking a streamlined entry into drone ownership and operation.
