Not projected anymore! There was an update to the Fly app and now the
Mini 2 SE has been added.
When I first read the OP's posting and their concern that the
Mini 2 was being discontinued; I, as a
Mini 2 owner, was very concerned and I Googled the
Mini 2 to see if I had missed some announcement. The following Link came up in Google…
When I clicked on the Link, it came up as a Dead Link on the DJI Web Site.
So, this is why I suspected that it all might be a Publicity Stunt…
But, Google also brought up the "DroneDJ" Web Site, which I included…
But honestly, I do not understand why DJI would build a mid-level Drone between the SE and the
Mini 2 (although it is almost all
Mini 2…). It seemed that Mini, the SE, and the
Mini 2, all create a nice progressive series of drones with increasing capabilities.
This will surely become a Logistical nightmare for DJI and it will only get worse with the addition of one more model. Considering that DJI will have to keep all the various parts on hand (manufacturing, distributing those parts all over the world, and storing them for possible use, etc…
I believe that the Enhanced WiFi that DJI offers in the Mini and the SE is so much better than the competition's WiFi. And the OcuSync 2 and the newer, more powerful 3 is without compare.
If the specifications noted on DroneDJ's web site are to be believed, the only difference between the
Mini 2 and
Mini 2 SE is the Branding and the higher resolution of 4K video in the M2 verses 2.7 in the M2 SE. From what I understand, this difference is only in the software as the Camera Sensor is the same in all three models.
And the final point that confuses me the most is how the specs for the M2 and M2 SE are so close but the new model is projected to cost only $70 more than the SE (A Good Deal for the enhanced flight characteristics and the OcuSync), but $80 less than the M2 (not a good deal for the M2 as it only offers the extra 4K Video). How many folks will want to pay $80 more just for the 4K capability?
