In this ultimate drone buying guide, you'll see that the DJI Mini 4k video drone is much the same as DJI’s Mini 2 SE, except it films in ultra HD 4k at 30 frames per second, instead of 2.7k at 30 frames per second or quad HD on the Mini 2 SE. It is not a 60fps drone but it does has some of the best drone image quality of an entry level drone under £300.

It also boasts 3-Axis gimbal stabilization, 31min of filming which is more like like 18-22 when you factor in wind & how fast you’re flying, 10km video transmission, level 5 wind resistance, which is a maximum 19-24 miles per hour & auto returnto home.

Why is the DJI Mini 4k not on the DJI website? There is no answer from DJI, however it is only available from Amazon for £269 or $299. (links above)

There are features this best beginner drone doesn’t have. There are no sensors for obstacle avoidance, the gimbal doesn’t rotate to vertical & only shoots horizontal footage & there’s no tracking or following either, though there are QuickShots such as Dronie, Rocket, Circle, Helix & Boomerang, for getting tracking shots. I''ll show how to use QuickShots using the DJI Fly App & a DJI drone.

The DJI Mini 4k uses the RC- N1c remote control & it connects to a phone. Extra batteries for the DJI Mini 2, Mini 2 SE of the Mini 4k can be purchase for around £60 or $80.

Press the H or pause button once & it will pause the drone in flight whilst a long press will initiate RTH or return to home button. If the drone is more than 20 metres away, pressing it will bring the drone back to where it started.

There are 3 flying modes: sports mode, normal mode & cine mode

At 20% battery the drone will return to home & land.

You can switch the gimbal from Follow Mode to FPV in the DJI Fly App. First Person View mode will unlock the gimbal axis to move with the drone.

You can take 12mp photos, in JPEG & RAW & you can capture single shots, 3 bracketed photos for HDR images & timed photos from 2-60 secs.

In the UK, if your drone isn’t a toy & has a camera then you’ll need an annual Operator ID from the CAA which costs £11.13 per year & it’s recommended you get a free Flyer ID at the same time. There’s a 40 question online test.

The DJI Mini 4k truly is one of the best budget starter drones. I hope this ultimate drone buying guide has been useful to choose the cheapest 4k drones.

So what’s next from DJI drones? There will be a number of drones to be released in 2024 including the DJI Neo, DJI Mini 5 Pro & DJI Mavic 4 which look to offer the best 4k at 60fps & top video quality.
