Over the past year, DJI has been pushing the limits when it comes to drones, delivering more power in a compact size with its Mini 3 Pro, giving pilots more flight time with the Mavic 3 Classic, and finally bringing more value in an affordable package with the Mini 3. Now the company is once again taking things to another level, announcing its Mini 2 SE, coming in at sub-249 grams and costing just $369.

When it comes to consumer drones, DJI is unmatched in the space and has been for quite some time. The company has just launched a new compact drone, the DJI Mini 3, which comes in at under 249 grams. There's a reason why this number is so important, and if you've never flown, or owned a drone before, it's a critical thing to know before you go flying or making a drone purchase.

DJI has been pretty dominant in the drone space for quite some time. Earlier in the year, the company announced the Mini 3 Pro, a sub-250-gram consumer drone packed with many great features and highly compact. Now, the company could be releasing a more affordable version of the Mini 3 Pro, as it was spotted at a big box retailer ahead of its official announcement. The Mini 3 will reportedly arrive on December 9 and will be priced much lower than its "Pro" sibling.

Drones are one of those items that you really need to experience before you "get it." Putting a camera 400 feet into the air literally gives you a new perspective on things. Drones have democratized the skies, making it possible to fly at a super low price point. I've flown over a dozen different brands of drones in my time, and Holy Stone is definitely in the top three manufacturers. Their drones are sturdy, fly well, and have good cameras attached to them. They have great connectivity to the remote and the phone you're using to monitor them, even in the Wi-Fi bath that is my neighborhood.
