Be warned, while the drone with battery is under 249 grams, attaching anything else like a strobe will push it over. Then it's FAA registration time.
FAA registration takes 15 minutes and $5. There's also a recreational flyer test for basic drone knowledge that takes another 15 minutes. Slap the number onto the drone and it's legally registered.
The FAA has an app called B4UFLY that is great at checking for any airspace restrictions in your location. It can also set up a notification to other flyers that a drone is flying in the area.
Also needed is LAANC authorization if you use the drone within a 5 mile radius of an airport. The authorization is free and comes through quickly. This is different from DJI's restricted zones. Clicking in DJI Fly does not get LAANC approval.
I have a refurbished Mini 2. It's registered with the FAA. I start up the B4UFLY app, post a notice or get LAANC, fire up the drone, make sure my maximum altitude is correct for the area, fire up the strobe and go fly.
The Mini 2 doesn't have Remote ID like the Mini 3 or 3 Pro. I'm not sure if DJI designed that capability into the Mini 2.
Please don't ruin recreational flying for the rest of us! It's easy enough to be a good drone pilot. And if something happens and your drone crashes and causes damage, doing everything legally is going to go better than having an unregistered drone piloted by a pilot who hasn't taken the time to be familiar with the recreational drone piloting rules.
Lastly, never ever fly over people. Only Part 107 commercial drone pilots with a waiver can do that.
I hope this didn't scare anyone off. These little drones are great fun. That said there's more to it than slapping in a battery and flying off into the wild blue yonder.
For $20 more at Costco you get 4K, extra battery, case, and memory card.

I just ordered one in costsco. Is the Mini 2 SE better than Mini 2 ? I am not really worried about the extras.
