DJI Mini 2 SE Drone Teardown

Time to read: 10 min

One of this year’s most popular Christmas gifts is the DJI SE 2 Mini Drone. It boasts level 5 wind resistance (up to 23.6 MPH), a maximum takeoff altitude of under 2.5 miles, and up to 31 minutes of flight time. All these capabilities are packed in a tiny package, weighing just over half a pound. 

I recently had the opportunity to do a teardown of the DJI Mini 2 SE Drone, and I wanted to share my experience with you. It was really interesting to see this drone’s inner workings and components. I learned a lot about its operation and got an inside look at the complex design. In this article, I’ll share some key takeaways from my teardown and give you a closer look at what makes this drone fly. So, if you want to learn more about the DJI Mini 2 SE Drone, keep reading!

Tools I Used

For a good teardown, you need the correct tools. Sometimes, you have to think outside the box and innovate with your tool selection, and I had an idea to use some non-traditional tools. Here is what I came up with for the teardown, and it worked pretty well: 

  1. iFixit Mako Driver Kit – 64 Precision Bit Set for Electronics Repair is an awesome precision hand tool set with magnetic tips and an isolated, rotating end for easy turning. 
  2. FAMILIFE Manicure Set is the non-traditional tool set I utilized because of the cutting tools with super sharp blades on the end. These were amazing for quickly and easily cutting otherwise inaccessible wires. I also utilized the tweezers from this set. I also used the nail file as a pry bar and a cuticle pusher as a pry bar. These tools are surprisingly robust. 
  3. The screwdriver that came with the drone. This mini Phillips head screwdriver wasn’t very easy to use, so I swapped it for my own kit during the teardown.
