Is the DJI Mini 2 Still Worth it in 2024 and Beyond!?

So I have been meaning to make this video for a while now… to try and convince you why the DJI Mini 2 is still worth it, but I had one shot I wanted to squeeze in, one more trip on the horizon planned, which was one more opportunity to build a case for this budget travel drone… a case now made of footage from this pocket sized beast…
So I waited until now… for this… and I think I finally have enough evidence from enough different locations that if you’re on the fence about getting your first drone, why I think the DJI mini 2 is still worth it in 2024 and beyond!
It’s such an amazing piece of tech, but now with the DJI mini3 Pro out and the rumors swirling of maybe a dji mini3 not pro, the budget version, coming out maybe in a year or maybe not… is the DJI mini 2 still worth it, to purchase right now… and if you have it, should you upgrade to the mini 3 pro?

Excellent video Brian. I worried that there was something wrong with me as I always get extremely nervous when flying. I even get a little bit of vertigo when I think about flying sometimes. However, seeing your awesome videos gives me the strength to carry on and work through my fears. Thanks again!
@BrianCatalano Жыл бұрын
Honestly, this is the precise comment I was hoping for: knowing I'm not the only weirdo who gets anxious flying and two that there's strength in numbers as it keeps me working through my fears, too! Also, the vertigo thing, I honestly thought I was only one... It hits me if I especially ever look up at the drone if it's directly above me. It's something that happens if I'm ever at the base of a skyscraper too and look up. I'm sure it's an inner ear thing and there's some scientific term for it, but I just thought it was like a reverse fear of heights. If I'm in a helicopter or airplane, I don't have the fear, so it's a strange one. Maybe that'll be the future of FPV drones, where you're actually piloting it from a cockpit. I'd probably be less anxious with that! Ok, long story, less long... Thanks for sharing your anxiety with me!
@HollyFischerArt Жыл бұрын
@@BrianCatalano So interesting to know vertigo can happen as well. I'm still trying to figure out what model of drone to start with but have not flown one yet. I have imagined I'd be so nervous of crashing, going over water initially, and what people around will think....especially worrying they will be angry about the drone flying. I'm sure I'll be even more uptight than I'm even imagining I will be. But I had no idea vertigo can happen too and I'm glad I saw that here before ever flying. I probably would have really flipped out if I experienced that without having the benefit of knowing it happens to other people. So stressful. And, of course I'm so worried about accidentally doing something the FAA will be upset over and finding a big bill in the mail one day with no way to actually pay it. That is freaking scary. And yet I really want to fly a drone. Yikes. So nervous.

@@HollyFischerArt ha ha, I love this message... I can feel the anxiety from this side of the keyboard, and I completely relate. I carry all those fears and still managed to learn to fly. I do think this is the best beginner drone and because of the weight, you don't need a license and because of the budget, I would survive, emotionally, if I accidentally crashed. I believe you can do it if I can!

Beaut video mate. Yeah, the thing is we just have to trust the drone and not think the little bugger is going to crash hey. I have been flying for 7 years now and still get nervous. I have gotten a lot more confident since using Litchi Mission Hub where you pre program a waypoint flight on the computer. I have a Phantom 3 standard, Mavic Air 2 and the Mavic Mini. After seeing your video mate, I’m more inclined to get the 2 now and save a few quid by not getting the 3. Thanks Brian.

Brian! Nice shots in there! All the drone stuff in my little travel film October In Iceland was shot with the Mini 2, and I was so impressed with what I was reviewing every night we got back. I was thinking to buy the pro before leaving, and I was happy I spent that money on some nice nights out during the trip. There are some places I flew that I'm not sure I would have sent a more expensive drone, and the results were more than enough for me. It's my fourth drone now, and I might be flying this one until it's at the bottom of a gorge somewhere 😆.
@BrianCatalano Жыл бұрын
Ha ha... I know what you mean about the comfort you have when using your relatively cheaper gear versus a pro version. I've crashed this guy a few times and have calmed myself by thinking it's just a cheap mini... But then I look at the footage and I too am impressed each time, not to mention surprised at how it's never damaged when I stupidly fly it into a wall. I do want the pro eventually, but maybe I'll just hold out until the mini 4 or 5!

Good video mate. I’ve had a mini 2 for quite a few months now and I fly it all the time. In fact I’ve done over 2,000 kms with it and it still flies like a dream. I recently picked up a second hand mini 3 pro for a really good price and that is an awesome drone but as far as the price goes I still think the m3p is still a little bit too expensive. I mainly got it for the DJI RC coz I’m from Oz and it’s summer over here and it can get difficult having to use your phone with the m2. I also get the anxiety quite a bit too but now I only get it with the m3p and I’m fine with the m2. It’s wired how it happens.
@BrianCatalano Жыл бұрын
I get all of that...and am super impressed with how much flying you've done, and you still get the jitters!? I'm guessing then, maybe it's the value of the drone... Like I have three cameras, all objectively expensive, but they are at 3 completely different price ranges. I used to be so protective of my cheapest camera until I got a more expensive one, and now I just throw it in my bag without thinking (and it's fine). I then got an even pricier camera, and now I don't worry about my mid-tier one. It must be some sort of relative fear over perceived value. However, with drones, I'm not just afraid I'll break it, I'm afraid I'll crash it into a police helicopter (or something equally ridiculous)! Regardless, it's still one of the best purchases I've made, but I would love to pick up the DJI RC because it would be nice not to have to hook up my phone! Thanks for sharing your take!!

Good stuff, Mr. Catalano. Funny too 😁. I'm relatively new to droning, and just got one of these in the fall (as my second ever drone). It's a phenomenal step up from the budget one I came from (sjrc f11 4k pro)...most notably, for me, in terms of flight control and reliability. (The other was enough to convince me, tho, of the fun and capability of drone flying, so no real regrets there). ANYWAY... funny on the flight anxiety thing. Certainly went through that...but I've also made the mistake of not being anxious enough! As with everything with some risk involved...a certain amount of 'anxiety' can be good and healthy to keep you honest. Anyway, blah blah blah. Enjoyed the video. And cheers (also from NC).

I can truly tell. You are an intelligent and knowledgeable guy. Incredibly practical and thoroughly professional. Which are rare traits today. And I couldn't agree with you more! And so I won't. As I cannot argue these facts! So, my friend. I have yet to make my first drone purchase. I've been carefully shopping now for about eight years. Because as a skilled engineer. Of over 50 years now retired. I do my research and shopping, carefully. Because whatever I purchase. I'm going to want to use. For the next 20-30 or 40 years. Of course I will be long dead by then. Since I am now 67 but! That does not negate the fact. I am a true professional. And I want professional performance. And professional look. To my professional videos. And this is a great and very doable compromise. So I was looking at this unit. A couple years ago. Now they've got the newer one. With the newer price. And newer features we will all want. So what is the good engineering compromise workaround? It's this! And they also sell, refurbished new units. With a brand-new warranty. For even greater savings. And I think you have helped to, complete my decision-making. Now with my more limited funds. From a professional and personal catastrophe. I have been left up the creek without a paddle. And I guess time to get back to video production? Again. And what you need to look like, NBC-TV, again? Because I already know how the picture has to look. So there is no guesswork there for me. In looking for the right look. The right dynamic range. The right exposure control. Is there adjustable gamma? And I operate with auto assisted manual settings. Because that's a great combination! When you can let it's, Artie Fecal intelligence do its thing. While you operate the other moves. And that is more Hollywood style. Yeah because back in the day. Everybody had separate jobs. To do with that little chip inside the flying camera that cost a couple of hundred bucks can do. You got the focus puller. You've got the exposure and color shader. You've got the director of photography. And you've got the sand. On a little chip inside the camera. And whoever thought that, images projected on sand. Could be so high resolution? But little sand grains are small. And if each one was a color pixel? Hey wait! What a great idea?! Oh nevermind… It was a stupid idea anyhow. I have not yet figured out how to, vacuum a tube? RemyRAD
@BrianCatalano Жыл бұрын
I think for the video quality to be up to par, as in one can reasonably make the image look like a non hobbyist's holiday-toy, I would recommend getting at minimum the mini 3 Pro because of it's 10bit color and slightly bigger sensor. However, the standard of what is seen as the baseline of image fidelity is ever changing, it does seem to be plateau-ing to some degree. Maybe in 8 more years of shopping, it will only be 12bit 8k video, so not sure any of them are future proof... Maybe just cheaper to buy a helicopter and a RED Komodo. But seriously, I can relate to being bound by a budget and having high standards. It's tricky finding the balance there when making any purchases (or life decisions)!

Actually Litchi has a follow mode thats way better than the one on mini3 pro, mini2 is a beast

Yes, you're right! That was the third party app that I was referring to. I've never tried it but I want to! That's awesome to know, I'm going to get it... Thank you!

Same! Im not sure if it's strategic or some technical limitation, but I imagine it's planned, so people upgrade.. but that's just a guess.

My MINI 2 RC died and cannot be opened. probably update issue? still not fixed until now. that is a scary part.

a ceiling of 2.4 miles? How do I get mine "mini 2" to do that? I'm stuck at the factory 1600+ft.
@BrianCatalano Жыл бұрын
That's a great question... I actually don't know! It may be just a semi marketing plot to list its physical capabilities while not allowing us to access that feature. Maybe there's third party apps, however, that may allow us to use it. I'm not sure though.

@@BrianCatalano yeah there may be an awesome third party app that really turns the Mini 2 loose . . . I've recorded videos on mine of things that neither I nor MUFON can explain. They actually put it up on the site, and labeled it as "unknown/other". I haven't shown them but 1 video too, Fast Walkers galore!

@@BrianCatalano I actually got super lucky and found a recent listing on Offerup. It was listed for $250, I asked if he was willing to let it go for $200, and he said if he doesn’t get any better offers in the next few hours then he’ll do $200. Couple hours later, I messaged him saying that I’m willing to do $220 instead of $200 and I will go pick it up right now if he was willing to, and he replied saying he’s gotten offers for $250. Couple minutes later he said he’ll do $220 if I go right now in which I did! I actually picked it up a few hours ago. 2 years ago I had the Mini 2 SE, sold it for personal reasons, now I’m back with the mini 2!
