Holy Stone HS360D
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Holy Stone HS360D offers a 6 km transmission range and up to 40 minutes of flight per battery, combined with a 4K camera and GPS-based smart modes in a lightweight foldable package. However, its video is limited to 20 fps and it lacks obstacle avoidance sensors. Best suited for hobbyists needing long endurance and range without professional video demands.
The DJI Mini 3 is a sub-250 g foldable drone offering up to 31 minutes of flight and 4K video, making it ideal for casual creators seeking portability. Its main trade-off is the lack of obstacle avoidance and limited video frame-rate options. Best suited for beginners and travelers.

Professional reviewers commend the Mini 4K for its beginner-friendly design, stable 4K footage in windy conditions, and long transmission range, emphasizing the value of a sub-250 g drone that requires no registration. They also note the lack of advanced features such as obstacle avoidance and higher-frame-rate HDR video, positioning it as a solid entry-level option rather than a professional tool.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the drone's portability, ease of use via the DJI Fly app, and reliable video quality even in breezy environments, while common frustrations revolve around the absence of obstacle sensors, reduced real-world flight time, and the need to buy a microSD card separately.
Professional reviewers and editors consider the HS360D the top budget drone of 2025, emphasizing its impressive 6 km range, 4K EIS camera, brushless motors, and beginner-friendly GPS stability while noting the low 20 fps video frame rate and missing gimbal as limitations for serious videography.
Everyday users love the long flight time, easy setup, strong range, and sharp 4K photos, but repeatedly complain about shaky video, wind-related drift, and the absence of obstacle avoidance, making it a solid choice for casual flying but not for demanding FPV or professional shoots.
