New DJI Mini 2 SE Drone Has A 10km Range & Costs Just $369

After multiple circulating rumors, DJI will release a new Mini 2 SE drone with a couple of modest updates over the existing entry-level model. Notably, DJI has added its in-house OcuSync 2.0 transmission system to the new model, so the device can now fly more than twice as far as the original Mini SE, which maxed out at 4km.

The new system should also make for more stable video feeds at the further end of the drone’s range, though many regions now have laws in place to limit flying to line-of-sight distances.

DJI claims its latest drone can fly for 31 minutes on a fully-charged battery, which is roughly the same as the outgoing model, adding just one extra minute of flight. As for the rest of the drone’s specs, things look pretty identical to the previous model. The Mini 2 SE tips the scales at 249 grams and retains the existing camera system with a three-axis gimbal and 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor able to capture 2.7K video and 12MP stills.
