Reviews
From 2 reviews, as of 2026-08-31 — not a DroneIQ flight test
Mini 2 is the first sub-250 g 4K Mini: 1/2.3-inch 12 MP, 4K/30, O2, downward sensing, 242 g. DPReview called it the beginner drone that grew with you — RAW stills and OcuSync instead of the original Mini’s Wi-Fi and 2.7K. Heliguy’s launch split vs Mavic Mini is still the one people quote: 4K, Level 5 wind, 6 km CE. Versus Mini 4K you would not notice the camera; you would notice the class mark (unmarked vs C0), not A3 vs A1 — both fly A1 on weight. Versus Mini 3 you would notice the 1/1.3-inch chip, true vertical, and a printed C0 mark.
- Review: the DJI Mini 2 is the perfect drone for beginners
4K/30, RAW stills, OcuSync 2.0, sub-250 g, no obstacle avoidance

Questions
Do I need to register the Mini 2 in the UK?
Mini 2 is unmarked, takeoff about 242 g (DJI standard takeoff 242 g with battery, props and a microSD card. Marketed under 249 g.). In the UK a Flyer ID is required from 100 g, and an Operator ID is required from 100 g with a camera or from 250 g — this airframe needs both. This is not legal advice; read the CAA Drone Code for the airframe and battery you actually fly. Longer version: the UK Open explainer on this site (/guides/uk).
How far from people can I fly the Mini 2 in the UK?
Mini 2 (unmarked): A1 Over People. No class mark. CAA legacy weight table: under 250 g is A1 — same Open subcategory as C0. May overfly uninvolved people; not crowds. Flyer ID + Operator ID from 100 g with a camera. Open height is 120 m AGL. Never over crowds. This is not legal advice — the CAA Drone Code (March 2026) applies to the airframe and battery you actually fly. Longer version: the UK Open explainer on this site (/guides/uk).
Which controller or headset flies the Mini 2?
DJI RC-N1 (Phone clamp, O2 / O3). A matching OcuSync generation is not enough — firmware on a used RC still has to list this airframe. Full matrix on the Gear page.
