The new mini drone from DJI still has folding booms for easier transport, is about the size of a 6-inch smartphone when folded and weighs only 249 grams. Externally, the successor to the DJI Mavic Mini is only on by an LED on the front, the word “Mini 2” and the small “4K” imprint of the camera from its predecessor.

While the controller of the Mavic Mini made a rather makeshift impression, the Mini 2 comes with a decent remote control that can handle mobile devices up to 6.5-inch Holds display and additional control panel on its top. The controller is much better in the hand.

The new 2240 mAh battery now allows a flight time from to 31 minutes.
