Our description

The DJI Mini 4K is a foldable camera drone weighing just 246 g – under the important 250 g threshold. It films in 4K (up to 30 fps) via a mechanical 3-axis gimbal, is GPS-stabilised (hover, auto return-to-home, QuickShots) and is therefore one of the easiest drones to start with; the DJI O2 video link reaches several kilometres (CE). It ships ready to fly including a controller (RC-N1, uses your smartphone), one battery and a USB-C cable; the Fly More Combo adds three batteries, a charging hub and a bag. Honest about follow-up costs: it's a closed DJI system – the „Intelligent Flight Batteries" are proprietary (extra ones pay off given ~20 min real flight time), plus optional ND filters and DJI Care; repairs go through DJI, not yourself. Key weak point: the Mini 4K has NO obstacle avoidance (unlike the Mini 4 Pro) – the most common crash cause for beginners. EU rule: under 250 g (class C0), but a camera still means operator registration is required. Overall a huge amount of drone for the money – ideal for photo/video beginners, who should just keep the missing obstacle avoidance in mind.
