[@oierdominguezduran9040]

I had booked mini 2se over a month ago and it will be delivered in this month, i spoke to the seller if i want to change my order from mini 2se to mini 4k and he said that if i do so then again i will have to wait for another 1month or more... what should i do ? pls suggest me.

[@drone_tech_review]

No need to wait since the 2SE and the Mini4k are the same thing. The key is to make sure you're getting the best price with all these holiday deals.

[@BikrameshSarkar]

@@drone_tech_review yes both are in same price, changed my decision to mini 4k as many suggested to go for it as it is a newer drone with updated firmware.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy my first drone and have two offers to consider: the DJI Mini 3 for 369 EUR or the new DJI Mini 4K for 299 EUR. What are your thoughts? Is it worth spending an extra 70 EUR for the DJI Mini 3? Thanks for your advice!

[@drone_tech_review]

I think the Mini 3 flies a little bit better since it is a bigger drone with a bigger wingspan. Also it is compatible with the new Plus battery which increases battery range by 50%. And finally, it is compatible with the better remote control. Camera is a little better too and can shoot vertically. So, it's worth the $70 EUR.

[@fredyrodriguez6525]

@@drone_tech_review Thank you

Which iPhone is that? I’m thinking of buying this drone as a gift for a friend. But he has an iPhone X. Not sure if it will work with it. I hear conflicting things on the internet. Per DJI: as long as the iPhone has iOS 11+ it should work, but also on their iPhone compatibility chart the iPhone X is not listed. Somewhat contradicting. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@drone_tech_review]

This is the iPhone 10

Mini 2 in 4k I think. Not 💯% But sounds like a good deal to me. I just got mini 4 pro just before this came out or I might have brought that 1 but I'm more than happy with the 1 I got. It's expensive for the mini 4 pro and battery's X4 you're looking at $2000, but once you got it you got it, right ? Buy once Cry once 👍. I should elaborate on the price. It cost me so much because I live in New Zealand so everything costs twice as much here that's just the way it is

[@drone_tech_review]

Fair enough! Very good share. This is the exact thought process of many buyers today. Which one should I buy? Should I sell and upgrade. Thank you.

[@Anglo-Brit]

​@@drone_tech_reviewHi, can you tell me if the mini 4k drone compatible with the mini 2, if not, do you know batteries will be compatible? Thanks

[@bradley7506]

That’s an inconvenient choice by DJI to put the power button on the bottom…it’s always on the top, so that’s weird. For the money it seems like a great drone. I will probably get the mini 3 fly more set

[@drone_tech_review]

Good point! That really is a bad place for it, now that I've used the Mini 4 Pro power button a lot.

[@IslandDigital]

Does this come remote ID ready ? Why isn’t this on DJI website?

[@drone_tech_review]

No remote ID as this is just a repackaged Mini 2. Not on their website since it was just repackaged for Amazon audience. It doesn't highlight their latest capabilities.

[@bobwhitewo3b]

What are you using as a RID device to make the drone legal under part 107?

[@drone_tech_review]

I don’t have that, so let me research it and review a few

[@IslandDigital]

Can this drone work with a controller with a screen built in ?

[@hsoc2321]

no

[@drone_tech_review]

Unfortunately not. Only compatible with the Mini 2 controller with no display

[@srcinmativideography005]

Please talk this drone india lunching date.

[@drone_tech_review]

This is a US only drone unfortunately. Only sold on Amazon too and not the corporate DJI site.

[@patrickcaldwell4599]

It's sold in Europe and the UK, mine is being delivered on Sunday

[@robskyful]

Mini 2 ?

[@drone_tech_review]

90% Mini 2 basically with much cheaper price.

[@PierreDestrempes]

The Potensic is under $300

[@drone_tech_review]

Yes, $279 now as I see they've lowered the price
