Ruko F11GIM2
Score: 71/100
DJI Mini 4K
Score: 72/100Rankings
The DJI Mini 4K delivers 4K video with a 12 MP sensor and 31-minute endurance in a sub-250 g, fold-able package. Its lack of obstacle detection and limited frame-rate options constrain more demanding creators. Best suited for hobbyists and casual videographers.
The Ruko F11GIM2 is a foldable drone with a 4K camera, 2-axis gimbal, GPS/GLONASS navigation and Level 6 wind resistance, offering up to 64 minutes of total flight time and a 9800-ft transmission range. Its trade-offs are a heavyweight design that needs registration, limited stabilization, and lack of obstacle sensors. It suits beginner-to-intermediate pilots who prioritize endurance and wind handling over premium imaging and safety features.
