Holy Stone HS360D
Score: 79/100
FIMI Mini 3
Score: 82/100Rankings
The FIMI Mini 3 is a sub-250 g foldable drone offering 4K video, long range, and up to 37 minutes of flight time, making it ideal for casual creators. Its transmission latency and modest video stability limit professional-grade use. Best suited for beginners and travel vloggers who value portability and feature richness.
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.

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.
Editors and professional reviewers consistently praise the FIMI Mini 3 for packing a 4K camera, long 9 km range and 30-plus minute flight time into a sub-250 g chassis, calling it a feature-rich, value-driven alternative to DJI's Mini line. However, they note that transmission latency and video stability still trail DJI, and the design offers few fresh innovations.
Everyday flyers love the drone's feather-light weight, USB-C fast charging and the freedom to fly without registration, but many echo professional concerns that real-world battery endurance and video quality can fall short of the lofty specifications.
“pretty darn stable”
“rolls and doesn't keep stabilized”
“a bit choppy at low fps”
