Thanks in advance for any help

DJI gear’s as solid as a rock, can’t really comment on Holy Stone as I have never owned one.

The Mini 4k has essentially been replaced now in the DJI entry level line up with the DJI Lito 1 and DJI Lito X1.

Both great entry level drones with the X1 being slightly higher spec.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m leaning toward the DJI Mini 4K because I’ve heard good things about DJI’s reliability and camera quality. Since I’m a beginner, would you recommend getting the Mini 4K at a lower price or spending more on the newer DJI Lito 1? I’d appreciate your advice on which offers better value for a first-time flyer.

@rgfdc4534 ’d personally go for the DJI Mini 4K. :+1: DJI’s app, stabilisation and GPS features make it a great choice for beginners, and you’ve got a reputable brand behind you. Just remember to learn the rules before flying and enjoy the hobby! :helicopter:�

Hello, If I was to start again I would go for the Lito X1 but that’s just me :slight_smile: Have fun.

Hi :waving_hand: I have always used DJI drones because of the reliability and the drones are packed with some great features and quality and the customer support is fantastic if you ever need to replace your damaged drone.

For a beginner i would suggest the Mini 4pro or the Mini 4K both drones are reliable and user friendly but also both have a good camera on them.

I’d go for one of the Lito’s as they’re later technology.
