What’s new?
DJI Mavic Mini 2 has the same dimensions and weight compared to DJI Mavic Mini. Flight time was increase by one minute – so that’s not that big of a change; but interestingly the battery has a smaller capacity; Seems DJI was able to increase flighttime with a smaller capacity battery. Big news are: DJI Mini 2 features 10km OcuSynch video tansmission and it is Level 5 wind resistant. Another big change – DJI Mini 2 will feature 4K video:

What’s new?
DJI Mini 2 will offer 4K video. Appart from that the specs are the same as for DJI Mavic Mini. It seems that the sensor is exactly the same, just the 4K feature was unlocked. Many other popular features are not included and you have to upgrade to DJI Mavic Air 2 to benefit from them. They include: RAW photo, HD video & photo, higher resolution photo and higher frame rates for video.
Intelligent Flight Modes & Sensors
Same as DJI Mavic Mini the new DJI Mini 2 won’t feature any (obstacle avoidance) sensors. Reason is that DJI keeps the weight of Mini 2 below 250g. I guess because of the lack of sensors there is also no active track available. Basically it would work via the image sensor alone, but having active track without obstacle avoidance is too risky I guess.
