For $479, you get the drone itself as well as DJI’s Fly More package. The bundle includes the controller, extra props, a carrying case, and a multi-battery charger in addition to the drone. Perhaps most importantly, it also includes three batteries, each of which promises a max life of up to 31 minutes per charge. If you’re familiar with drones, you know that flying time can vary dramatically depending on conditions, so you’ll really appreciate the extra included cells.
Mini for a reason
While the Mini 2 isn’t the most advanced consumer-oriented drone that DJI offers, it’s one of the best for beginners. It weighs in at just 249 grams, which sounds oddly specific, but there’s a good reason for it. Any craft over 250 grams requires pilots to register them with the FAA. Because the Mini 2 falls just under that bar, you can simply take it out of the box, charge it up, and take to the skies. Despite its small size, the Mini 2 still offers a powerful camera capable of shooting 4K footage at up to 30 fps. It can also capture high-quality stills if motion isn’t your thing.
