Obsessed with Aerial Cinematography? Get Started with These 3 Drones

The Mini 2 utilizes DJI's OcuSync 2.0 2.4/5.8 GHz wireless transmission technology, which means this tiny little drone can be operated from up to 6.2 miles away. The Mini 2 can also be flown as high as 2.5 miles and withstand 19 to 24 mph winds, all while maintaining a compact, foldable design that weighs only 8.8 oz. It's small and light enough to take almost anywhere. A 3-axis gimbal camera supports up to 4K30 video and 12MP stills captured in JPG or RAW for easier editing. You also gain the luxury of flying farther back from your subjects with support for up to 4x digital zoom.

Thanks to the DJI Fly app and intelligent recording options, such as pre-programmed QuickShot flight paths and multiple panorama options, the Mini 2 can deliver creative pro-quality shots with a tap.

Additional one-key functions further simplify the piloting process, such as takeoff, landing, auto-hover, 3-speed switch, and headless mode. As you fly, the integrated camera can record images and footage in stunning 2.7K HD resolution. The camera has a 110° wide field of view and allows for 90° of adjustment. The drone is also super affordable, so you won't feel too bad when you eventually crash it.

And let's be real. You will crash it.

The Fly More Kit adds two additional intelligent flight batteries to your loadout for a total of three batteries. It also provides a battery charging hub that can charge those three batteries in sequence.

The Nanuk 925 is a hard-shell case with a custom-cut foam insert and foam lid, which has compartments for the drone, goggles, controller, and more.
