DJI 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, Intelligent Flight

I was looking for my first drone and after doing my research I went with this one. I’ve had it for a few months now and absolutely love it. It’s got pretty decent range, I’d say half a mile or so I still get too scared to go any further but the signal stays strong lol. I strongly recommend biting the bullet and getting the fly more combo, without it the singular included battery will only get you about 15-20 minutes of flight time and the included battery charging hub, 2 extra batteries and carrying case are super useful. If you had a fast charger, you could essentially get nearly unlimited flight time by just charging up the batteries and swapping out every 20 minutes. Video quality is fantastic, I keep it at 1080P/60 just for storage conservation and ease of sharing and it still looks phenomenal. This thing can withstand some wind too, it’s so incredibly stable even with some minor gusts too. Using the remote you attach your phone into is fine, but I do think at some point in the future I wanna get the controller with the screen built in. Range is better and it’s just easier and faster to get it in the air without having to fiddle around with getting your phone in the mount, plugging it in and opening the app. Overall I absolutely love this drone, it gets me to go outside and explore cool places so I can get some drone footage lol. I recently went up to the Carolina’s to ride the blue ridge parkway and get off at overlooks to take footage and it was incredible.

Ok it’s been 3 months!! This is addicting and I only now realized how crazy this drone stuff can get. But without a doubt this drone by DJI is unbelievable!! The price was unbelievable when I purchased it for $250, then discounted from the $299 it advertised as. More importantly DJI definitely has made a quality product and affordable at that. Especially for beginners like me.I’ve crashed this drone hard three times. Several minor crashes but the three times where I thought it was over…one motor needed YouTube attention and I had to replace one pair of propellers. Overall well worth the money, I’d pay the $300 easy if I had to replace this one. But DJI definitely makes quality products!!! But I’m looking at other drones by them… the Avata with fvp goggles looks like the next move👍👍👍👍DJI🔥

This is my fourth DJI drone, purchased specifically to help my son develop his piloting skills. For its compact size, this drone delivers an impressive performance. It offers remarkably smooth flight handling, and the image quality exceeds expectations—crisp and clear, even at extended distances.The accompanying app is intuitive and provides essential flight checks, including restriction zones and altitude limits. We were able to maintain excellent video clarity at a distance of approximately 300 yards with no signal degradation. Beyond that range, visual tracking becomes a challenge due to its small profile.Another noteworthy aspect is its quiet operation—surprisingly subdued for a quadcopter. We also appreciate that its lightweight design exempts it from registration requirements. With a full suite of beginner-friendly features and built-in safety mechanisms, this drone serves as a perfect training platform for new pilots.

For the price, this combo pack is an amazing deal. I’d definitely recommend getting the 3-battery pack with the charging hub it’s worth it and a better value overall. I didn’t realize the combo already included a charger, so I ended up buying one separately. As for the drone itself, it’s incredibly easy to fly. I taught my 9 year old brother in under 5 minutes, and he was flying confidently. I’ve flown it four times so far with zero issues, and the camera quality is excellent. Highly recommend for beginners and hobbyists alike!

The media could not be loaded. 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.
