Should I Buy This Used DJI Mini 2? Need Advice!

I want to buy my very first drone but I don’t have enough budget for a new one. I am no expert and wanted one for leisure shoots especially during some of my travels. I was considering the DJI Neo or DJI Flip but then I saw this DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo listing on Marketplace.

Owner said the total flight time is 12hours/90km/58flights. He said it was purchased more than a year ago (not entirely sure) but the main concern I had is that he said the batteries only last 15minutes. Is that normal?

Should I get this? Or look elsewhere? Please help. Thank you!





How much are they asking?

Around $350 USD, and it includes the Fly More Combo.

You might want to check DJI’s refurbished store. They used to have Mini 2 refurbs for a great price, and it’s nearly identical to the Mini 4K. I have one and love it!

I checked DJI’s site, but I don’t see the Mini 2 in their refurb section anymore. This used one is $350 with the Fly More Combo—do you think it’s a good deal?

I just picked up a second-hand Mini 2 for $150, and it’s been great! I get about 20 minutes per battery, but extra batteries aren’t too expensive if you need more.

First, check if it flies properly—if it does, great! Second, consider the price. The Mini 2 is a solid beginner drone, and if the deal is good, go for it! Have fun! :sunglasses::ok_hand:

But is 15 minutes of flight time per battery going to be a problem?

@Zeph
For that price, it’s fine. If you need more flight time, just buy extra batteries.

@Zeph
All budget drones have their downsides. It’s a great starter drone, and you’ll quickly learn its limits. That’s part of the experience!

I bought a used Mini 2 with one battery, a controller, the multi-charger, and a carrying bag for $250 CAD. Super happy with it so far!

I just got a brand-new Mini 4K with a charging hub, two extra batteries, a case, and DJI’s 2-year refresh plan. Loving it so far—highly recommend for beginners!
