Launching in spring 2024, the DJI Mini 4K is the most affordable model in the Mini series. It retains the design, compact size (246 g), 12 MP sensor, 3-axis gondola and battery life (~31 min) of the Mini 2 SE, while offering a real improvement: 4K video recording at up to 30 fps. And of course, it includes automatic QuickShots (droning, boomerang, etc.) for dynamic shots in the blink of an eye. Ideal for beginners, this drone combines simplicity, image quality and low cost.
