The DJI MINI 4K The Best Beginner and Budget friendly drone of 2024

DJI Released the DJI MINI 4k for North America and Europe, so what exactly can this 249gram 4k drone do for less than $300.00? Quite a lot actually, let's dive into the great things about this drone, what the mini 4k is capable of and what some of the limitations are. This is likely the best budget friendly drone on the market.

Epic scenery will still look epic on a $300 drone versus $3, 000. (Pro drones allow more flexibility in the edit).

99% of drone reviews ONLY show epic scenery.

The truth is that most people looking to buy a drone will get real bored looking at the top of their house and the rest of their neighborhood REAL quick...and for most people the drone will then collect dust for 360 days a year.

Better to let $300 collect dust than $3, 000.

The beauty is that when you DO go somewhere epic on rare occasion, a $300 will slay.

That's why Mini 4K is an absolute no-brainer.

Lucky to be a drone flyer in Canada. Sub 250g drones no registration, no test, no height, vlos, airspace(except class F) or flying over people or cars restrictions. Super lucky to have the freedom we do with micro drones. Can literally fly anywhere. Only must to follow is dont be dumb and use good judgement.

It cracks me up how much ability is in a $300 tiny drone. Nice shots. Nice review.

Great video thanks for the info, I'm considering this or a second hand mavic. I used to have the dji phnatom 3 professional. Any idea if this will be around the same quality?

I just sold my 1st generation Mavic Pro and just bought this; it arrives tomorrow and I'm excited to try it out based on the simplicity of it, and the fact that it accomplishes about 95% of what I used my Mavic Pro for.

i am interested in that particular drone, i am a photographer and i care only for the DNG photo files, i looked around the internet but i couldn't find some samples DNG images to play with. is there anywhere or somewhere i can download and check myself the image quality of the DNG files?

For YouTube - Mini2 is perfect ... For the windy days the M3C comes out and better photos etc

Mine gets here in 3 days and Im very excited

Sorry, I'm doing my prelim research here. Thanks for the video, I didn't hear mention if this has a "follow me" option? Have a suggestion for a 4K beginner drone with the follow me option? Thank you!

Great vlog, if a person had no experience with a drone, but wanted a really good quality first experience ($ not the priority), what would you suggest?😊

[goldfinger]

Jake, you can make any drone look good, it's not the drone, but the operator.

[shotzburynative]

is it better than the Mini 2 SE?? and i saw someone say unless I get thr fly more pack it doesn't come with a battery charger, is that true? I can't afford the fly more pack

[weytze]

also, why say it doesnt have obstacle avoidance when on page 28 of the manual it states obstacle avoidance. it is disabled only when you use sport mode

[Jaidel]

What softwear do you use to edit your videos?

[weytze]

Why do you say it doesnt have active track when the mini 4 manual says it has active track?

I'm looking to buy my first drone and have two offers to consider: the DJI Mini 3 for 369 EUR or the new DJI Mini 4K for 299 EUR. What are your thoughts? Is it worth spending an extra 70 EUR for the DJI Mini 3?

If you're not a professional drone pilot, this is the drone for you... A learners class of a drone. 😊😊😊😊😊

I thought this was about the Inspire 3, you need to work on your titles, what a tease.
