What is a "Drone"?

A Drone is, from a technical point of view, an aircraft. It is, in particular, a remotely piloted aircraft, which is an unmanned aircraft (an aircraft intended to operate without a pilot on board, which is capable of operating autonomously or being remotely piloted).

 

DJI continues to be “A” global reference brand when it comes to the development and manufacture of drones, whether for private or professional use. Today was a very special day for the manufacturer, having officially unveiled the arrival of the new DJI Mini 2.

Despite coming in with exactly the same weight as its predecessor (249 gram Mavic Mini), the Mini 2 will guarantee big performance improvements on almost every level.

The DJI Mini 2 also presents great improvements in the quality of its camera, being able to capture video with a maximum resolution of 4K at 30 frames per second (bitrate of 100Mbps).

In addition, also in the photography segment, you will be pleased to know that you will now be able to save photos in RAW format, not being limited to the traditional JPG.

With regard to its flight performance and autonomy, you will also find considerable improvements:

  • Maximum speed - 57.6 km/h
  • Autonomy - 31 minutes
  • Resistance to winds of 38.6 km/h
