The advanced gimbal enables a 3-axis mechanical stabilization system for consistently smooth imagery. The Mini 2 SE also features one-tap takeoff and landing, stable hovering, and a return to home feature. With level 5 wind resistance, the aircraft is able to hover steadily and keep images stable at a wind speed of 10.7 m/s.
