The DJI Mini 3 is an ultra-light, sub-250 g drone offering 4K video, a 3-axis gimbal and up to 31 minutes of flight, making it ideal for beginners and travelers. It lacks obstacle-avoidance sensors and higher-frame-rate HDR video, which may limit more advanced use. Best suited for casual creators who value portability and stable footage.
The Skyrover S1 Mini offers a 48 MP Sony sensor, 4K 60 fps video, 3-axis gimbal and up to 40 minutes of flight in a sub-250 g, registration-free package.

Perfect for travelers and hobbyists needing long-duration aerial footage.

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 praise the Skyrover S1 for packing a high-resolution Sony sensor, long flight time, and extensive range into a sub-250 g chassis at a budget price, but they warn that its build quality, limited obstacle avoidance, and unproven real-world performance make it less suitable for demanding prosumer tasks compared to DJI's Mini lineup.
Direct consumer reviews were not found in the available data; retailer listings and product descriptions highlight enthusiasm for the drone’s portability, Sony camera quality, and registration‑free status, while the lack of user‑generated feedback leaves real‑world reliability uncertain.
