Under-249 g 4K starter drone — 3-axis gimbal, 31-min flight, 10km DJI O2 transmission and QuickShots. Three batteries in the box.
The two entry points into the Mini range. Both sit under 249 g, both shoot 4K, both use O2 transmission and downward-only sensing. What separates them is the sensor and the controller.
| DJI Mini 4K | DJI Mini 3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price (Fly More Combo) | ₹61,990 | ₹74,990 |
| Camera sensor | 1/2.3" · 12 MP · f/2.8 | 1/1.3" · 12 MP · f/1.7 |
| Video | 4K/30fps | 4K/30fps HDR |
| Flight time | 31 min (93 min with 3) | 38 min (114 min with 3) |
| Controller | RC-N1C — uses your phone | DJI RC — built-in screen |
| Vertical shooting | Crop | True vertical |
| Sensing | Downward vision + IR | Downward vision + IR |
The Mini 4K is the least expensive way into a genuinely capable 4K drone, and for daylight flying the gap to the Mini 3 is smaller than the price difference suggests. Same transmission, same wind rating, same regulatory category, three batteries in both boxes.
The ₹13,000 buys you a larger sensor at a brighter aperture, HDR, seven more minutes per battery, true vertical framing and a controller you do not have to mount a phone on. If you shoot in the hour after sunrise or before sunset — when the light is actually good — the sensor difference is the one you will notice.
If this is your first drone and you are not sure how much you will fly it, start with the Mini 4K. It is the lowest-risk entry into the hobby that still produces footage worth keeping.
At under 249 g takeoff weight, the Mini 4K falls into DGCA’s Nano category (drones under 250 g) under the Drone Rules, 2021.
Nano drones flown for personal, non-commercial use are exempt from UIN registration on eGCA and do not require a Remote Pilot Certificate — the lightest regulatory category India offers, and a large part of why sub-250 g drones make sensible first purchases. Commercial flying removes those exemptions.
Registration exemption is not airspace exemption. Green, yellow and red zones still apply: roughly 90% of the country is green with no restrictions, yellow zones near airports need coordination, and red zones are prohibited. Check the DigitalSky app for your location before you fly.
Keep the drone within visual line of sight, do not fly over crowds, and stay clear of airports, military installations and international borders.
Under 249 g means no registration for personal flying, and that removes the single biggest barrier to getting started in India. Add a 3-axis mechanical gimbal, GPS position hold and automatic return-to-home, and this is a drone that forgives the mistakes every new pilot makes.
In good light it produces clean, sharp, genuinely usable 4K/30 footage. In poor light it struggles more than the larger-sensor Minis do — that is the honest trade at this price. Fly it in daylight and you will be pleased; fly it at dusk and you will see its limits.
31 minutes per battery and three in the box, so roughly 93 minutes of flying. For a first drone that is generous — enough to properly learn the sticks in a single session.
DJI O2 gives a 10 km range with a stable HD feed. You will never legally fly to that distance, since visual line of sight is required, but the headroom is what makes the video link solid at the ranges you do fly.
The RC-N1C holds your phone as the screen. It works well and keeps the price down, but it does mean mounting your phone before every flight and watching its battery drain. The Mini 3 and above ship with a screen built in.
Mini 4K aircraft, RC-N1C controller, three Intelligent Flight Batteries, two-way charging hub, shoulder bag, two pairs of spare propellers, propeller holder, USB-C cable and screwdriver. There is no internal storage, so buy a microSD card at the same time.
The Fly More Combo is ₹61,990 at Hobitech, down from ₹67,999. GST invoice and warranty included.
Not for personal use. Under 249 g it is a Nano-category drone, exempt from UIN registration and from needing a Remote Pilot Certificate. Commercial flying is different.
It is one of the best first drones available. No registration for personal flying, GPS hold, return-to-home and three batteries to practise with. The low price also makes the inevitable first scrape less painful.
The Mini 3 has a larger 1/1.3" sensor at f/1.7 instead of 1/2.3" at f/2.8, adds HDR and true vertical shooting, flies 38 minutes instead of 31, and includes a controller with its own screen. It costs ₹13,000 more.
Downward vision and infrared only, used for landing and position hold. There is no forward or sideways sensing at this price point.
Yes. There is no internal storage, so a microSD card is essential from the first flight.
31 minutes per battery, three batteries included — around 93 minutes in total.
Level 5, about 10.7 m/s. Fine for ordinary conditions, but any sub-249 g drone is affected by gusts more than a heavier aircraft.
