So, looking at getting a sub 250g camera drone, I figured that the Mini SE would be more than enough for me (I don’t need anything higher than 1080p video), but something I noted is that the Fly More combos are no longer in stock.
There is only two things that really stand out to me -. A case and extra batteries.
What case/bag do you recommend? As there is a large amount of choice, I figure your recommendations will be the deciding factor here.
Batteries are a bit weird… I don’t see them listed as something to purchase on the DJI site, and Amazon lists some sketchy looking options…
So again: Recommendations?
The market is soon to be full of of Mini 2’s have you considered pre owned .
I’d personally avoid the SE unless you are flying always out in the back end of no where, the wifi transmission isn’t brilliant. And if you are flying rural then go for something over 250g ?
I enjoy my little Mini SE, but agree with the comments on range. There is no way to convert it to FCC, and I have seen connection warnings when it is just 150m away, in plain sight.
Compared with my Mavic Air, which can travel up to 1500m away on the 2.4GHz band, and can store a Litchi flight on board (so not requiring “virtual sticks”), the SE can be disappointing. However, when travelling abroad and reluctant to pay Mr Ryan £40 return for a suitcase (when I only paid £23.50 for the return flight), it tucks nicely into a rucksack (without using the supplied FlyMore case) along with the controller, batteries and charger. Also, it greatly expands the possibility that I am flying legally.
After I got mine, I bought another SE FlyMore for my nephew. My reasoning was it was the cheapest non-toy on the market, with fair quality stills and films. He likes it.
