With the release of the Mini 2 SE, DJI adds another model to the powerful and portable Mini line, giving fans yet another option to choose from. A step up from the Mini SE, the Mini 2 SE upgrades many of the Mini SE's features while maintaining its resolution. However, in comparison to the Mini 2, the Mini 2 SE keeps much of the same functionality, but with a lowered resolution. Either way, with the Mini 2 SE, DJI delivers an entry-level drone

In our recent introduction to first-person view (FPV) drones, we went over the basics of FPV flying. Specifically, we focused on aircraft requirements, necessary equipment, and FPV use cases. Now, we’d like to expand upon that primer with a glossary of terms and abbreviations commonly associated with FPV drones. Knowing these terms, and understanding why they are important, will benefit you if and when you decide to become an FPV drone pilot.
