The outer box of the DJI Mini 2 looks like this. This time, I will use the 'DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo' that comes with a shoulder bag and a charging hub.
When you open the box, a shoulder bag will appear.
The shoulder bag is made of polyester and has cushioning properties, which seems to protect the DJI Mini 2 stored inside.
When I opened the shoulder bag, it was packed with the DJI Mini 2 body and accessories.
This is the DJI Mini 2 main unit and radio.
When you deploy the DJI Mini 2 main unit, it looks like this.
The letters '199g' are printed on the right side of the main body to emphasize its lightness.
The left side looks like this.
The front is equipped with a camera equipped with a 1 / 2.3 inch CMOS sensor with 12 million effective pixels. The camera can shoot stable images with a 3-axis gimbal.
The back looks like this. A USB Type-C connector for charging and a microSD card connector are lined up. Also, if you remove the battery cover on the top of the connector ...
The DJI Mini 2 has no built-in storage, so you'll need to insert a microSD card to store videos and photos.
The back side looks like this. The part surrounded by the red frame is the power button.

When unfolded and lined up with the iPhone 12, it looks like this. Even if it is deployed, it will not grow so large, so it seems that it can be flown in various places.
The weight including the battery and microSD card was 195g, which is below the nominal value.
The radio looks like this. Since the operation lever is not attached when it is taken out of the shoulder bag ...
Attach the lever stored at the bottom of the radio.
No tools are required and it can be installed by turning it by hand.
When you attach the lever, it looks like this. The left lever controls altitude and direction of travel, and the right lever controls forward / backward / left / right movement. The buttons in the center are the takeoff / landing button, flight mode switching button, and power button in order from the left.

Also, inside the radio, there was a Lightning cable for connecting and rubbing with the iPhone.
The radio is one size larger than the iPhone 12, and you can hold it with both hands.

The battery charger can charge up to 3 batteries at the same time. It also functions as a battery storage case, preventing the situation where the battery is missing in the bag!
Also, as replacement parts, a Phillips screwdriver for propeller replacement, 3 pairs of propellers, and 2 levers are included.
