DJI Mini 2: Best 4K drone under $500

The DJI Mini 2 is the best GPS camera drone for under $500, for most pilots, that means that the Mini 2 is the very best drone under $500 entirely. It has a decent 4K camera that is fully stabilized for silky smooth capture, it has a very stable auto-hover, and it has a solid connectivity range. The higher-end Mavic drones are better in almost every way, but they all cost much more, and only the Mini line from DJI weighs under 250g.

The Mini 2 becomes our top pick as it is the best camera of all of the mini drones on this list. It’s also the most capable airframe, with the longest flight range, good battery life, and still matches the original Mavic Mini for compact size and portability.

Should I buy the DJI Mini 2?

The DJI Mini 2 is a drone that I happily reach for when I want to fly for fun. The original Mavic Mini remains a fun machine to fly, but the improvements in the Mini 2, particularly the bump in camera quality, make the Mini 2 my top choice for a simple drone to toss in a backpack and hit the trail. If you do not need a higher-end camera, the Mini 2 is well worth your consideration.

Pros

  • Small and easy to pack
  • Weighs under 250g
  • Easy to fly
  • Good battery life
  • 4K camera

Cons

  • Too small for a decent payload
  • Limited range and camera compared to bigger drones

DJI Mavic Mini: Capable 2.7K drone

The DJI Mavic Mini opened up a whole new world for DJI drones, proving that a capable GPS-enabled aircraft with a decent camera as possible for both under $500 and under 250 grams. The 2.7K shooter on the Mavic Mini is by no means a superb camera, but it is at least as good as your smartphone, and far better stabilized. The drone itself has decent flight time, decent range, and decent flight capabilities. Totally worth the asking price.

Should I buy the DJI Mavic Mini?

This is a tough question, simply put, we really like the DJI Mavic Mini, but we like the Mini 2 better. If the pricing makes the difference, rest assured that you will be pleased with the original Mini, but if you can afford the newer machine, we recommend it instead.

Pros

  • Affordable
  • Good 2.7K camera
  • Easy to fly
  • Under 250g

Cons

  • Limited range
  • Not as good as V2.

 

Hover Passport: Super-simple flying camera

 

The Hover Passport was a fun little drone in its time. It is now hard to find and there are drones that produce better results, but we’ll credit it with inspiring a drone type that is very portable, and uniquely equipped to serve one main purpose, it’s a flying selfie camera.

Should I buy the Hover Passport?

We don’t want to say no, but, we would not recommend buying the Hover Passport at this time. if you can find it for under $100, it’s a fun craft to try out, but it is no longer worth the original MSRP.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Fun

Cons

  • Very limited capabilities
  • Poor flight time
  • Expensive
