As we expected DJI focused on couple key aspects that were missing or not so good in the outgoing first generation Mini drone:
Improved reach and signal - the OcuSync 2.0 technology implemented in the Mavic Air 2 earlier this year was a real breakthrough in range capabilities. The first version of the Mini is well known for its not so good reach and wireless signal. Let's hope this will be sorted out in the new Mini 2. (CONFIRMED!)
4k video - resolution numbers grow bigger and bigger and it is quite natural to expect the 2.7k video to be left behind for a better sensor with 4k video option. (CONFIRMED!)
Improved obstacle avoidance- the first generation Mini lacked any front, rear or side sensors to protect it during flight. We expect to see better obstacle avoidance system in the Mini 2 with more sensors but still keep the weight on the low end. (NOT CONFIRMED!) - no new obstacle avoidance sensors were added to the Mini 2 (we guess that is just to keep the weight under 250g).
The Mini is a small and lightweight series of drones but we expect better smart battery management from DJI in the new Mini 2 and hopefully improved battery life. (CONFIRMED!)
New remote control - if the Mini 2 receives the OcuSync 2.0 we expect to see a remote control that is very similar to the big gray remote of the Mavic Air 2. (CONFIRMED!)

DJI Mini 2 price info
The price for the DJI Mini 2 is also announced. In the official DJI store the Mini 2 drone is sold for $450 for the regular version and $600 for the Fly More combo which comes with more batteries and some useful accessories.
DJI Mini 2 fly more combo
What does the Fly more combo package for the Mini 2 include:
Additional 2x batteries
Bag
Additional propellers
Two-way charging hub
Spare controller sticks
DJI USB Charger
It looks like for the additional $150 DJI included a lot of kit in the Fly more combo so it is definitely worth spending the extra cash.
We hope that soon we will have the chance to make a full consumer test and review of the new Mini 2 drone.
Meanwhile, please let us know what is your feedback about the Mini 2, do you like it and would you prefer it over the more expensive Air 2.
This would be the new best-selling drone for sure. Just missing some obstacle avoidance sensors but I guess the Mini 2 has good controls so no big deal really.
Sharing few of the problems that you may experience with the popular diesel engine of Opel Insignia 1.6 CDTI Today we have the Insignia 1.6 CDTI and we want to share some more info about its engine with 136 horsepower (hp), which is a diesel engine that is available in the Opel Insignia model. It is a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine that uses advanced technologies such as common rail direct injection and variable valve timing to improve its performance and efficiency. The engine produces 136 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque, which allows for a smooth and responsive driving experience.
Product overview and specifications of the cheap 15.6-inch Asus X543 We don't review many laptops these days and that is definitely something we need to change in the coming months. Today we will be taking a closer look at one cheap and quite basic 15.6-inch laptop - the Asus X543 . The version we focused our attention on is powered by an Intel Pentium processor and has only 4 GB of RAM.
We test the Asics Patriot 13 running shoes, part of Asics Performance collection It is not very often that we test clothes or shoes but from time to time we like to show off with favorite products. Today we are taking a closer look at the Asics Patriot 13 running shoes which were used for almost a month now so it is time for our consumer feedback.
We test and review the outstanding earbuds Edifier X5 It has been quite some time since we last tested an Edifier product. But today we have focused our attention on a product that we really liked a lot. And we are going to be completely honest with you, this review is compiled just few hours after we bought and tested the Edifier X5 true wireless earphones . The reason behind is the fact that we were really pleasantly surprised by the sound quality delivered by this pair of earbuds.
