DJI Mini 2 Application Guide When the Mavic Mini was first introduced, it was clearly created with one purpose: to make a good camera drone that weighed less than 250 grams. This number is a key specification because anything under it still doesn't require FAA registration.

The new DJI Mini 2 hits the same sub-250g target but with fewer compromises than the first Mini. Where the original was aimed mostly at people who were thinking of taking that first step into the world of drones, the DJI Mini 2 is aimed not only at beginners but also at satisfying experienced pilots, photographers and videographers.
