I just reviewed DJI's small gimbal camera "DJI Pocket 2" in October, but DJI products later this year have dropped the series name Osmo and put "DJI" in the product name.
Last year, there was a "Mavic Mini" as a small machine that weighed less than 200g in the drone, but this time the series name also stopped "Mavic" and became simply "DJI Mini 2". Released on November 12, the standard package is 59,400 yen (tax included), and the combo set with a spare battery and a special carry case is 79,200 yen (tax included).
By the way, this regulation of less than 200g is unique to Japan. When flying a drone in a densely populated area designated by the Geographical Survey Institute called DID, permission under the Aviation Law is required. However, this has a proviso that "the weight of the main body + battery is less than 200 g", and permission is not required for aircraft of 200 g or less.
In fact, I don't think there are any businesses that are doing drone photography in their business and have not yet applied for a permit. On the other hand, it is not realistic for a complete amateur to apply for a permit every time he takes aerial photographs as a hobby, so it is necessary to use an aircraft weighing 200 g or less. The previous Mavic Mini was a epoch-making aircraft that weighed less than 200g even though it was a full-scale aircraft capable of GPS positioning. The DJI Mini 2 this time is also a machine that weighs less than 200g, but it also supports 4K shooting.
Let's immediately test the capabilities of this machine, which was introduced as a new model in just one year.
