DJI Mini 4K Fly More Combo, Drone with 4K UHD Camera for Adults, Under 249 g, 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilization, 10km Video Transmission, Auto Return, 3 Batteries for 93-Min Max Flight Time, QuickShots

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!

Great drone. Amazing for beginners. No complaints after a month of use. Definitely recommend. Pictures turned out great. Video is very good. I do wish I could shoot 4k 60 fps instead of the capped 30 fps, but it is not a big tradeoff, especially with the price you will pay for something like the mini 3 or something higher up the line. The drone is very stable especially during calm days, however if theres some wind, it can be hard to take super smooth video, although very possible within 10-15 mph. This drone also has a few entry level features that are cool like panorama options and other quick shots. I do recommend getting at least the 2 battery combo (what I got) since it is not as expensive as the fly more combo (at that point just get a mini 3), but you still get about 40 mins combined battery life (don’t trust DJI’s 31 min/ battery claim) as well as a carry case with is actually pretty nice quality. Good drone, good value, loads of fun.

I'm a beginner and this drone is easy to fly recreational. There's lots of instructional youtubes to help. It's powerful enough to handle North Dakota prairie breezes which is why I bot it. The video and picture quality is very good. And it has good range that I will probably not exceed.

Easy to setup and fly with a quick app download and connection. Very user friendly! Controlling the drone was easy. Good video quality and was just as easy to land. Seem sturdy, but that being said, I haven’t cried into anything yet. Lol

Most likely the best drone out there. This drone has a lot of features for a beginners drone. The price is very reasonable. Pros: The flights are smooth although I have not flown it on windy days. The camera is rock steady as if you had it mounted on a tripod. Return to home works flawlessly as long as you allow the drone to find home position before you fly off. The pictures are above parr and you have the option of shooting RAW. Battery life is as to be expected. Cons: The drones selling point is that it will connect right out of the box. Factory set. Well, not so in my case. Trying on my own with help from YouTube the remote would not connect to the drone. I spent 2 hours with DJI Technical help with no luck. They offered to repair it for free but I decided to send it back to Amazon. Upon receipt of the replacement I tried to connect once again and once again I had the same problem. Back to DJI technical help, only this time I got a guy that knew what he was doing. After some questions about things I previously tried, he told me to remove my SD card. Sounded silly but that did the trick. But, if I powered off the drone so I could reinstall the card, I would be back to the original problem. I had to leave the card out, fire up the drone, and then insert the card hot, which is not a good practice. It turns out that all I really had to do, was to format the card after it was in the drone. Now it all works as it should. I never would have figured that out on my on especially if it had not been for a guy on YouTube that stressed to reformat any SD card that had been installed previously in another drone as in my case. All the above information is to help anyone having this same issue. DJI could have offered up the SD card problem in their manual but failed to do so. Otherwise this DJI drone is a great little drone to fly.

Great drone for the money. Good quality and easy to fly. Get at least one spare battery. Looking forward to the nice weather to go flying again. Recommended.

First, let's cover the hardware. DJI has clearly put a lot of thought and engineering into making a compact, flyable drone that's easily transportable. Fit and finish on the various components is excellent, and the fact that the drone folds into a compact package for transport makes taking it along with you a snap. No complaints at all in those areas. The fly more combo is a "must have" in my opinion, as it'll help you keep flying rather than spending too much of your time waiting for batteries to charge, or having to order extra propeller blades in the event of a minor crash. The software, however, is another story. Does it work well? Yes. It's really a pleasure for the flying aspects. It's dead easy for a beginner (that was both the wife and I) to successfully take off, fly the drone successfully, and land. I had bought it for her as a gift, and we're both new to drone flying, so that was a real plus, and quite frankly, the place where the software was most useful. What is not very useful is the lack of documentation that came with the drone regarding that software. There's little in the way of additional information that proved immediately useful. Many terms aren't clearly defined, as regards how they are used in the software, and it took a considerable amount of extra Internet research to figure out what was meant. In addition, the Android version of the software appears to have been adapted from what was originally developed for use on Apple's IOS devices like iPhones and iPads. On Android, using a Pixel 4 as the controller display, the single most annoying aspect was lack of a clearly indicated means of leaving the app. Add to that the fact that it's unclear just what certain software controls are meant to do, at all, and frustration levels quickly mount. Especially difficult was attempting to determine just where photos and videos are being stored. Are they stored on the internal memory or the micro SD card? Can't really tell. How does one move information from one to the other? How do you get the drone to download to a PC via the USB cable? And worse, considering the entire purpose of the software beyond flying is to be able to retrieve footage you've recorded in flight, how do you successfully get all your photos and videos onto the SD card in order to be able to just copy it from the micro SD to a computer of some sort? That particular adventure took another couple of hours of Internet search, watching instructional videos, and trial-and-horror. And no, that's NOT a misspelling of "error". So... What should one expect? First, plan on spending a lot of time figuring out software for virtually every aspect of use with the exception of actually flying the drone. I'd recommend you do a lot of reading about it on the Internet (and watching videos to see what it looks like in practice). Second, DJI should seriously evaluate their UI. Far too much has been crammed into a single app. And far too little is provided in terms of documentation of the steps to accomplish many of the non-flying functions. Third, DJI should recognize that not all users are familiar with (or even like) the IOS sort of approach to software design. Fourth, the software should make retrieving one's photos and video footage the absolute clearest and easiest beyond that portion of the app used in flying. I think it would benefit all users if the portion of the app that handles files and file transfers was made separate from that used in configuring or flying the aircraft. Fifth, why not make ALL the data the drone is collecting easily available for use by the purchaser? I have seen reference to flight data, for example, being recorded by the aircraft, but have not found a ready means of downloading it. It would be nice to be able to analyze that data using commonly available software tools to see just how well, for example, what one thought one flew matches with what the flight actually was. While we've got lots of criticism of the app (just in case you hadn't noticed already), neither of us are displeased with the purchase. The Mavic Mini 2 flies easily and well, and it really is fun to use. And, once one gets over the completely unnecessary software hurdles, it's not all that difficult to remember what to do the next time one is attempting to retrieve those files. If you're interested in getting into drone flying, I'd recommend having a look at this one. It's not terribly expensive, and you'll quickly be up and flying.

Like many adding reviews here, I didn't have any experience with drones before this one. I've flown some cheap RC helicopters indoors and nothing else. If you have ANY interest in learning how to use drones, this might one of the best introductory models you can find, save for one huge caveat, and the only feature I miss: there is no automatic obstacle avoidance on this one. This means you MUST be more careful in flying low or near any objects. It's easy to hit a tree branch if you're trying to maneuver in tight spots and are inexperienced. However, once up and beyond low-hanging man-made objects, I don't even remember this feature is missing. Seriously once up over the landscape and hundreds of feet up, it's just smooth sailing. I was afraid to let this out of visual sight at first. Even some youtubers suggested you shouldn't fly out of sight because of the lack of OA. But then I decided to really test it, and found that I could fly out 1.5 miles from my house without any issue at all. Signal did break up once as I was faced the opposite direction, but restored in less than 3 seconds and the drone was fine. RTH has worked perfectly whenever I get a little lost. And even with real life wind, I very easily get about 25 minutes of usable flight time before I get nervous enough to bring it down, usually with about 10% battery life left. (IT WILL NOT FLY AS QUICKLY OR AS WELL AT LOW BATTERY, DO NOT ASSUME THAT LAST 10% WILL TAKE YOU AS FAR AS THE FIRST 10%). The intelligence built-in is incredible. It's a far cry from pro models, but the RTH has worked without fail, and I love the security of knowing if my controller dies, my phone dies, or signal is suddenly blocked, it's gonna make every effort to return home. Also, I just trust the sensors and bring it back home if it tells me it's time. I only push the battery if I have to. LiPo batteries do better if you're not deep charging them every cycle, so unless you have to, don't push it way down below 15% and your batteries will last longer. I bought the fly-more package and truly recommend it if you can spring for the extra cost. That ensures I never need to abuse my batteries. There is nothing else in this price range that offers this many amazing features, and with the reliability of DJI behind it, it'll have support for years. If you've wanted to check out this hobby, or if you've just been burned on cheaper drones but are still open to it, this is the drone for you. It's not really great for indoor flight or getting real close to objects, but with some practice it's far from impossible. The incredible range and fantastic camera put this in a category all it's own.
