DJI has added a new drone to its range with the Mini 4K. All the changes to the model are already in the name: the focus is on an affordable entry into the world of 4K drones.
After initial rumours about a possible upgrade of the DJI Mini 2SE drone, these have now been officially confirmed in the form of the new DJI Mini 4K.
While new drone models from DJI usually find their way into the public eye accompanied by a lot of attention, the launch of the new Mini 4K drone is taking place almost in secret. The reason for this is the minor changes to the drone.
DJI Mini 4K changes
The DJI Mini 4K is basically still the DJI Mini 2SE, but is now equipped with a 4K-capable camera. This is now available from €299, making the new drone DJI’s most affordable entry into the world of 4K drones. All other technical specifications remain unchanged.
Furthermore, the Mini 4K naturally benefits from its low weight of less than 250g and naturally comes onto the market in Europe with a mandatory drone class. In the case of the Mini 4K, this is, as expected, the C0 label.
The DJI Mini 2SE remains in the range and offers an affordable entry into the world of DJI drones in Europe (from €279), but not with 4K video recording. According to the DJI website, the DJI Mini SE is no longer available in this country.
