Mini 4K, Drone with 4K UHD Camera for Adults, Under 249 g, 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilization, 10km Video Transmission, Auto Return, Wind Resistance, 1 Battery for 31-Min Max Flight Time

First up - my drone flying experience was one failed flight on a cheap drone 3 years ago which put me off trying a more expensive one. Big mistake. Thankfully this DJI Mini 4K was on a Prime deal so I took a chance. 1 million percent happy I did. My passion is making videos of nature and local events. I use good quality equipment and wanted something that could enhance my videos but not look cheap. I watched some YouTube videos on the DJI Mini 2 (and 4K - basically the same drone) and took a chance. REVIEW: 1. Ridiculously easy to fly. No crashes, no near misses and no chance it will fly away. All of which I had in the first day using the afore mentioned cheap drone. This DJI takes off and just hovers there - no moving, no drifting. You push up on the left stick and it goes up. You pull down on the left stick it comes down and lands. It's that easy. First flight I even landed it on my hand because the grass was a bit long. (I have bought a landing mat) 2. Safe - following on from easy to fly is safety. The built in return to home features mean this drone is next to impossible to lose. Yes, you could fly it into a tree or building, but because you see what the camera see and you have accurate height information would mean it's your fault - not the drones. I have taken things slow and so far I have done some fairly long distance flights (400ft high and almost a mile away). If I lose sight of the drone, I use the map on the screen to line it up with me and fly it back. If I really get stuck I press the Return To Home and it flys itself back and lands. 3. Video quality - beautiful. The image is incredibly stable (as you would expect from DJI), the picture quality is excellent and compliments my other equipment. This little drone is punching way above its weight. And again, because you have live video feedback in your hands getting reasonable composed shots in the first week is possible. See attached video. It's a learning curve for sure, but using any new video camera is. The skill is not having the $ to but the equipment, but learning to use it properly. The cheap drone I tried 3 years ago was unusable video - shaky, soft, washed out colors. This DJI is fantastic in auto mode, and in manual mode you have some control over the recording settings. And because it is so stable in flight, you can concentrate on making sure the video you are recording is good - you are not worrying that the drone will crash. 4. Value - I paid $239 on Prime deal day. What a steal. The build quality is excellent. The IOS App is easy to use. No issues connecting, no stability issues, not bugs found. Flight time is about 20 - 25 minutes, which is more than enough for what I need. 5. Extras - Technically everything you need, apart from a Micro SD card, is in the basic package. You don't need to buy anything else. But some nice to have extras, that I have now bought are : More batteries - I bought the 2 batteries and charger (renewed) pack for $88. I also bought a protection case $20, a landing mat $18, a screen shield to help with bright sunlight viewing $20. I am also using Freewell ND filters, so far I have bought 4 of them $60. But technically all of these are not needed. But my advise would be to get the flymore pack if you have the budget - it makes a saving - but for me on the Prime day deal it was not an option, only the basic kit was reduced. Summary: I love this little drone. It has given me the confidence to get out there and fly. Its easy to fly, the video is great and the value its excellent. I was scarred by a cheap drone experience. The motto "buy cheap, buy twice" has never been more true. I could not recommend this product any higher. If you are a complete beginner then this is the place to start.

This drone is beyond awesome!! I’m new-ish to drones, had a few cheap ones in the past. I wanted to upgrade and did research on DJI and I have to say this was definitely worth it. This drone can travel FAR and HIGH with full control. The stability is insanely strong (when it has access to satellites), even in decently high winds. It has three speed settings, in its slowest setting it’s great for teaching kids and in its sport mode, I got it up to 30mph. The video quality is great, even at 1080p in order to save space on your SD card. I love that you can choose to have its RTH mode return to the controller, rather than its take-off location, just in case you’re walking while flying so you can keep line-of-sight. They say it’s a beginners drone, but I will definitely get much use out of it. I use it recreationally and eventually I will for work. For the latter you need the Part 107 license in the US, just an FYI. Bottom line = buy it. You’ll be happy if you want a high quality drone.

I'm extremely happy with this drone. The range is really great for the way I fly and I've never had any connection issues. This is a great budget drone with a nice camera that is easy to fly. Charging is simple using a USB C so I can charge it with my phone charging cable. Highly recommend!

The DJI 4K drone has really impressed me with how stable it is in the air. Even in light wind, it holds its position very well, which makes flying it feel safe and confident. It’s very easy to fly and perfect for beginners, but also enjoyable for more experienced pilots. The controls are intuitive, and the drone responds smoothly and precisely. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for stable flights and hassle-free, high-quality recordings.

Great drone to start in the hobby. It’s easy to use, stable, and offers good image quality for beginners. The only downside is the battery life. While it’s advertised as lasting up to 31 minutes, in real use you shouldn’t drain it completely. To preserve battery health and ensure you have enough power to return home safely, you’ll typically only use about 60–70% of the battery.

Once my daughter helped me get past the cockpit errors (downloaded the wrong app), this drone is AWESOME. I was so excited to get flying. I will post pics later. Have to recharge the battery. I highly recommend this as a beginner machine. It is budget and user friendly. You should get the carrying case to protect it. Extra batteries & a high powered charger is also a good thing to get. LOVE IT.

Great beginner drone, good quality pictures. Distance and speed is amazing and would recommend this to anyone. It has integrated the feature where if you are in a no fly zone this won’t and will land immediately.

My Mavic Mini 2 that I've flown for years finally went belly-up (literally). I want a Mini Pro 5 or even a Mini Pro 4 but don't like the purchase options with lots of add-ons to jack up the price. So I went back to basics and orderd this Mini 4K and that proved to be great solution. It's everything I'm used to with DJI plus a better camera and the 6-mile range for the flight controller. From beginner to accomplished drone pilot, this Mini 4K will cover all the bases. It's stable (much more so than the more expensive drone my wife gave me for Christmas) and has excellent photo/video capabilities. DJI has eliminated all the gyrations with startup and home location--and the automatic RTH function works perfectly so far. I'm still going to buy a DJI pro model sometime down the road, but for now this Mini 4K will be the go-to photographer for our construction projects and for recording events.

Legit DJI brand. Everything is the same as the one I have in USA.

Lo compré como mi primer dron y lo he usado durante varias semanas para practicar vuelos básicos, fotos y videos aéreos. Facilidad de uso y aprendizaje: Es perfecto para quien está empezando. Se configura rápido con la app DJI Fly, despega y aterriza con un solo botón, y los modos inteligentes (QuickShots) hacen que grabar videos profesionales sea muy sencillo. En condiciones normales (poco viento), vuela estable y responde bien a los controles. Ideal para aprender sin miedo a romper algo caro. Aquí está el punto débil: la batería dura unos 25-28 minutos reales de vuelo (menos de los 31 minutos anunciados). Si grabas en 4K o hay algo de viento, baja aún más.

This drone might be labeled “entry-level,” but it’s way more capable than that. It’s small, easy to carry, and simple to fly, and once you get the hang of it, there’s plenty of room to grow. The GPS, return-to-home, and auto takeoff/landing features make flying feel safe and smooth, even for someone just starting out. Just keep in mind this isn’t a toy. Decent piloting is required to get the most out of it. It doubles up as a great trainer though, but note that the transmitter power is reduced for Canadian models. On paper that's 4km, in practice it tends to max out at 2km, however I have seen it drop out as close as 500m. By regulation you are required to fly VLOS, so not likely a big deal. Where it really shines is the camera. The 4K video looks great, especially if you take the time to tweak settings manually. Photos are solid too. While JPEG processing is a bit on the harsh side, RAW and AEB modes (for post-HDR) give you more flexibility if you want to experiment and learn. It’s a great drone for building creative skills, especially if you're thinking about moving up to DJI’s pro models later. Any workflow you develop here carries over. It’s also just plain fun. Whether you're scouting locations, practicing flight, or grabbing cool aerial shots, it’s reliable and surprisingly powerful for its size. It definitely punches above its weight and feels like a proper drone, not a toy. If you're looking for something portable, capable, and with real potential to grow into, the Mini 4K is a great choice. It fits in a pocket and scratches a lot of itches, from RC fun flyer over visual notebook to more serious content creation. Forget spec sheets and expert reviews, this is plain awesome fun, and no chart can show that.

以前から空撮に興味があり、入門用にとトイドローンをいくつか買ったのですが、どれも満足に飛ばせませんでした。中にはそこそこ飛ばせるようになった小さな機種もありましたが、屋外で飛ばしたところ、風に飛ばされてそれっきり帰っては来ませんでした。 自分は一生ドローンとは縁がないのだと諦めていましたが、たまたまセールになっていたこちらの機種を見つけ、最後の挑戦と思い購入しました。 機体登録後、早速飛ばしてみましたが、なんて簡単なんでしょう。今までのドローンは何だったのかと思うくらい簡単に飛ばせました。風の影響も受けず、まるで空中で三脚で固定されたかのような安定した美しい映像を撮ることができました。 最初からDJIにしておけばよかった。撮りたいものはまだまだあり、これからドローンにはまりそうです。
