DJI\u2019s latest product is another Mini drone. It can capture 4K video at up to 30 fps and 60 fps footage at 2.7K resolution, with increased video bitrates up to 100Mbps, which should ensure higher quality video at both settings. While those specs may not excite, maybe the price will.<\/p>\n
Not to be confused with the Mini Pro series, which is several hundred dollars more, the $299 Mini 4K weighs less than 249g, is foldable and requires no FAA registration.<\/p>\n

$299 at Amazon<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n The specifications won\u2019t move the Mini series forward, but they cover all the essentials for beginner drone pilots, including 2x digital zoom while recording in 4K, a 3-axis gimbal and electrical image stabilization. DJI says it can transmit 1080p video up to 10km away. There\u2019s also level-5 wind resistance, once again, and it can fly for up to 31 minutes (or up to 93 minutes with DJI\u2019s $449 Fly More bundle<\/a>, which includes two extra batteries and a standalone charger.)<\/p>\n The Mini 4K will also include one-tap movements and features like helix, dronie and panoramic shooting support. If you\u2019re a total rookie, DJI\u2019s companion app has flight tutorials and one-tap takeoff and landing.<\/p>\n
