Worth Every Penny and Then Some – Absolutely Incredible!
By Dana on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2024
I have one question—how on earth is this thing less than four hundred dollars?! This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made on a drone. It’s perfectly steady, and the camera is stunning. The quality of the footage is so clear and crisp, it’s almost unbelievable. And the range? It can go so far away that I can’t even fathom the distance. After receiving a terrible drone order that was a complete waste of money, I truly understood just how incredible the DJI Mini 2 SE is. It felt necessary to leave this review despite the fact that not many people might see it because the difference is night and day. This drone is leagues above anything else I’ve tried. Despite a few crashes, this drone works flawlessly and feels like it should be worth at least $1,500. The return-to-home feature is incredibly precise—literally down to the inch—and the motion sensors are spot-on as well. It's also ridiculously easy to fly, which is perfect for anyone, whether you're a beginner or an experienced pilot. The best part? You don’t even need to register it because it’s so lightweight. Plus, it’s super easy to bring into other countries. I packed this drone into a suitcase full of heavy shoes and other items for a trip from Virginia to Turkey. The suitcase was handled roughly, and the boxes inside were damaged—including the drone's box—but when I unpacked everything, the drone was completely unscathed. The build quality is just that good! Here’s something insane to think about: imagine there’s an island on the Chesapeake Bay you want to fly over. It’s 7 km away, and this drone has a 10 km range without any signal extenders. But here’s the catch—your drone isn’t fully charged. You figure it’s fine and put the drone in sport mode to help it get there faster. But you completely underestimate how long the charge will last (which, by the way, is super long with this amazing piece of tech). When you’re 4 km out, the drone warns you that it doesn’t have enough charge to go much further and return safely. If you don’t listen, it’ll automatically turn back on its own. It’s like this drone is designed to be unbreakable and impossible to lose! Oh, and did I mention it can even handle CRAZY winds? This thing is a total beast. Last thing: I recommend buying an extra 2 chargers and charging station. Instead of getting 31 mins of flight time, you can get 1.5 hours of it with three batteries. It makes a big difference. Long story short, if you’re on the fence, don’t be. Just buy it—you won’t regret it.

Refund for defective equipment
By Alex S. on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024
I bought this drone for my daughter for almost 300 dollars for her birthday. I was unable to fly the drone after downloading between 4 and 6 apps for it. I finally got an app that allowed me to use the camera on the drone but the drone just kept heating up and the propellers wouldn't engage and take off no matter what I tried... In the end I sent the drone back for a refund and although they tell you it "may" take "up to" month to get a refund, it's telling me it will be over a month before the refund is even issued!! Then once it's issued it will take another 7 days or so to have access to the refund in my account! So I paid up front for something that didn't even work to put a smile on my daughter's face for her birthday, an expensive smile at that, and no I have to tell my 7 year old not to worry because in about a month or so she will be able to get something she wants.... To a 7 year old a month sounds like an eternity. So I give this a 1 star rating not only because the product didn't work but also because at any other place that I could have purchased something for someone that is a gift I could have had my refund the same day I brought back the item but instead I have 300 dollars waiting for someone to say i can have my money back. I've spent so much money at Amazon I can't even count and this just seems like they penalize ppl for not wanting to devote the same refund money to their store. It doesn't make me think I should get the refund back on my Amazon account, it makes me instead think I should get my stuff from somewhere else. As someone who doesn't have unlimited money to throw around while I wait to be refunded on my defective products, this makes me pause before I ever spend anything over 100 dollars there again. The bit of icing on the cake was when I called for the refund the lady appeared to try to misconstrue the actual reason I was calling for the refund. She seemed to try to make it seem as though I was trying to get a refund for something that wasn't even the problem as a way to make the refund void. This is the first and only problem I've had with Amazon but it is a big enough problem to show me that if I ever needed their help they would not be there nor would they even be willing to help unless they were contractually forced to. This has completely changed my mind about Amazon and makes me want to go to temu or some other online shopping center that honors their word.
