    Verdict

    The DJI Mini 2 is an ultralight sub-249g drone that combines a 12MP camera, 4K/30fps video, and strong wind resistance in a very portable foldable body. It remains popular because it adds long-range OcuSync transmission, RAW photo support, and dependable flight behavior while keeping regulatory burden low in many regions. Its key advantages are portability, ease of use, and better transmission performance than most entry-level mini drones. The tradeoffs are the lack of obstacle avoidance, fewer advanced shooting tools than newer DJI models, and a smaller sensor than higher-end camera drones.
