    This drone is so easy to use and is loads of fun! We have never flown drones before so this was our starter drone. We were impressed with the ease of use and the quality of the videos we were able to capture. I would highly recommend this drone! You vertically need to buy another battery because one battery lasts about 30 minutes and you’re gonna have so much fun flying it, you’ll want more battery life.

    I Believe The DJI Mini 2 se is the best drone available overall. Best price, best picture, amazing quality, and it all fits into a small carry bag. I’ve taken videos of my trips around Southern California and I’m happier than ever. I didn’t have to pay anyone else and time went by fast. Having the 3 battery bundle is the best because it gives you more time to have fun. The range and durability is insane. I’ve never been scared to push it to its limits. My favorite feature is if the drone gets disconnected. It either comes back to you with RTH or will idle in the sky till you get close enough. Best drone ever.

    Purchased the DJI Mini 2 SE for a road trip from North Carolina to Arizona. I haven't even begun to learn the finer aspects of its capabilities, but from my limited experience so far, this might be the best $300 I've spent in some time. I was really concerned about being able to even fly it and keep it in the air. Well, I guess drones have come along way, especially DJI. To say it flies itself, it literally almost does. The video quality is exceptional and the pictures are simply incredible. I can't imagine what the Mini 3 or better model performs. From there, it's all about your desired price point. If I had known it was this easy to fly and captured images/video of this quality, I would've purchased this a long time ago.

    DJI Mini SE 3 Review: A Compact Drone with Big Pot

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The DJI Mini SE 3 is a budget-friendly drone that delivers impressive performance in a compact and user-friendly package. Positioned as a successor to the popular DJI Mini SE, this model combines ease of use with enhanced features, making it a great option for beginners and casual drone enthusiasts looking to get into aerial photography without breaking the bank. Design and Build Quality The Mini SE 3 retains the lightweight, foldable design that DJI is known for, weighing in at just 249 grams. This makes it extremely portable and easy to carry around, and more importantly, it avoids the need for FAA registration due to its sub-250g weight. The build quality is solid for its price range, with a smooth plastic finish and well-engineered arms that fold neatly to save space. Camera Performance One of the standout features of the Mini SE 3 is its camera. It boasts a 12MP camera capable of shooting 2.7K video at 30fps, which is more than enough for most hobbyists and content creators. The image quality is crisp and vibrant, especially considering the drone’s price point. For still photography, the Mini SE 3 performs well in good lighting, with sharp details and vivid colors. However, it can struggle a bit in low-light conditions, which is typical for drones in this category. Flight Performance The Mini SE 3 is equipped with GPS and vision sensors, which help maintain stable flight even in moderate winds. The maximum flight time of around 30 minutes per charge is excellent for a drone of this size and price, and it’s on par with more expensive models. The drone offers a smooth flying experience, with easy-to-use controls and automatic safety features like Return-to-Home (RTH) and obstacle detection. The drone’s flight range is up to 10 km with the included remote controller (in ideal conditions), which is impressive for its class. The Mini SE 3 also features a number of intelligent flight modes, including QuickShots (such as Dronie, Helix, and Rocket), which allow you to capture cinematic shots with ease. Ease of Use DJI has designed the Mini SE 3 with beginners in mind, and it’s incredibly user-friendly. The DJI Fly app is intuitive and straightforward, making it easy to control the drone, view live footage, and adjust settings. The app also offers helpful tutorials for new users, ensuring a smooth learning curve. Even if you’ve never flown a drone before, the Mini SE 3 is easy to get the hang of. Battery Life With up to 30 minutes of flight time on a full charge, the Mini SE 3 provides plenty of air time for most users. It’s worth noting that heavy wind conditions and high-speed flights will likely reduce the battery life slightly, but overall, it holds up well. The drone also charges via USB-C, which is a nice touch for convenience. Conclusion The DJI Mini SE 3 is an excellent entry-level drone that delivers a lot of value for its price. It combines solid camera performance, impressive flight capabilities, and ease of use into a compact design, making it a great option for beginners and hobbyists alike. While it may not have all the advanced features of higher-end models like the DJI Air 2S, the Mini SE 3 punches well above its weight and is perfect for anyone looking for an affordable, high-quality drone to get started in aerial photography and videography.

    This was my first drone and I cannot say enough good things about it. Best Buy had it on sale and i had to jump on the opportunity. The video quality looks incredible and the drone itself is very easy to use and maneuver. Can't wait to use it on an upcoming trip to the Scottish Highlands.

    This is so easy to use and for someone who is not that tech-savvy It was beginner friendly. We got great footage!! It has a 30 minute fly time which was perfect for us. I didn't want to spend so much money on something I wasn't sure I would like. 10/10!!

    Amazing "beginner" drone! My wife purchased this drone for me after buying several "toys". All of them had to be set up first and never really flew straight. This one on the other hand was a simple plug and play. Super steady and the picture quality is outstanding. I would recommend this drone to anyone that is trying to get into the hobby and learn how to fly. Someday I hope to be able to upgrade to one of the DJI drones that have a few more bells and whistles, but for now this one does more than I need.

    Great drone for the price, much better camera quality than expected and easy to control. Get the extra protection because this thing is kinda fragile if crashed and they are not that easy to work on for a novice. Special tools required for most repairs like a pin press clamp, soldering equipment, calibration software ect. but parts are relatively cheap.

    Awesome entry level drone. It has all the features you need for a recreational user. Very impressed with the build quality. And this little guy is so darn cute! I would recommend a second battery though. And don’t forget the micro usb card. Would highly suggest this drone to anyone looking for the best entry or final drone for fun.

    I bought the DJI Mini 2 SE drone from Best Buy online and I am very happy with my purchase. The drone is easy to set up and fly, and it comes with a remote controller, a battery, and a carrying case. The drone is very lightweight and compact, and it does not require FAA registration. The drone has a camera that can take stunning photos and videos, and it allows me to see the live feed on my smartphone. The drone also has some intelligent modes, such as panorama, quick shots, and return to home, that make flying more fun and convenient. The battery life is impressive, as I can fly for up to 31 minutes on a single charge. The drone is also very stable and responsive, and it can handle moderate winds without any issues. The only thing that I wish the drone had is obstacle avoidance, as I have to be careful not to crash into anything. Other than that, the DJI Mini 2 SE is a great drone for beginners and hobbyists, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a reliable and affordable drone.
