I purchased a mini 2 fly more combo from the DJI store minutes after launch for $559USD

Mini 2 is far better than Mini 1, specially transmission. Max range tested for Mini 1 using 5.8 Ghz is about 450 meters. 2.4 Ghz doesnot work here due to high interference. Some sensors be added to such a long flying range drone, it would be definitely a plus, but have increased weight.

That skin puts it over weight as i found out. waiting for the skin for the air 2 from wrapgrade buy the . And buy the Air 2 ,it has the size and features the mini will never have . And i know from owning both drones the MA2 handles the wind waaaayyy better .

Good luck ,Fly safe

Mini 2 only weighs 242g

Yup, it only weighs 242, and that's with accessories like an ND filter and Sun hood on. What a little beast

Definitely not

Why definitely not?
It has already proven to be possible with the Mavic 1 and litche, so not sure why the mini “definitely” won’t have it

Probably meant not out of the box, it was a long time until the SDK was available and Litchi developed their own.

I’d like to see ‘spotlight’ if nothing else, unfortunately its not there on Mini 2

If the batteries are compatible, I might trade up but keep the FM extras. I too am not concerned about the weight. I only record in 1080p but OC2, zoom, other new functions and UDB C based makes it appealing for the extra $50. I wouldn't pay $200 (compared to MM1 FMC) extra for the FMC however. Quite frankly the extras with the MM1 FMC was a steal.

The original M1 batteries weigh more which could have reduced flight time, but the M1 batteries have more capacity so it's probably a wash when it comes to flight time.

I found that the case that came with the M1 FMC isn't available separately. I really liked that case. It may work for the MM2 AC, but it won't work for the RC as the RC is bigger.

Not here in the USA. It's $449/$599 here.
I guess the tariffs are still in effect.

Yahoo! Definitely a big plus

Although they seem to fit it might be worth checking whether or not MM'1' batteries are secure in the MM2 battery compartment. The video I saw suggested that the MM'1' battery is narrower than the MM2 battery. If correct it might leave wiggle room and cause problems.
Also bear in mind an MM'1' battery apparently puts the drones weight over 250g.

DJI states on the website that the batteries are not interchangeable, info under FAQ

It states the Mini 2 batteries will not work in the Mini 1, but the mini 1 batteries will work in the Mini 2.

I thought the OcuSync 2.0 unit was too big and only for larger drones like the Mavic 2. How did they take away enough weight to compensate for it? Also this drone is much smaller than the Mavic 2 sooo, size issue too?

The larger drones have a duel band 2.4ghz/5ghz ocusync system.

I just want to know if it has active track

NO

The question is about whether the Mini 2 has active track. To be able to track a moving object, the drone must have 3D vision. ie, obstacle avoidance sensors at the front. The Mini 2 does not have that.
