Must Have Drone!!!!
Wow what a upgrade! I started off with the ruko u11 pro. I absolutely loved that drone. It was my first drone and it turned into my new hobby. So I decided to try U11mini 4k . I was intrigued by the RC3 controller which is a game changer for me. I absolutely love the new controller. The functions and instructions from Ruko and easy and flawless to understand. There are so many neat new features that this drone is capable of. The flight time is right on as advertised for the estimated battery use. Plenty of flying with the second battery for a great experience. The video is great and the 3 axis gimbal providing much accurate video and pictures. It is a great drone all around. Battery life is great. It features GPS-enabled intelligent flight modes (Follow Me, Waypoints, POI). Some many new options. Simply awesome. This is definitely my brand! Thanks Ruko!

Impressive.
The drone flew great. The beginner mode was fantastic for myself and my 9 year old. We took it out to a soccer field and got a good feel for it. We loved how responsive it was when the controller actually worked. Unfortunately, the video remote signal was extremely week. I tweaked everything to try and fix it. I went to update the firmware on the controller and the download was PAINFULLY slow. We’re talking dialup PTSD slow. 350 mb file was taking 12+ hours. Then on more than one occasion, the video controller just quit responding all together. The batteries lasted as advertised. maybe a hair less when flying higher against stronger winds, but that’s to be expected. The photos and videos were great. I just had issues sending them to my phone as advertised. I elected to return and go with the DJI Flip instead.Edit: I must have received a defective product. Customer service took amazing care of the situation and made sure everything was remedied.

My first drone
Nice 249gm drone. Have flown twice. Nice features. Clear photos and video. Wish instruction manual and online info was better regarding the 5.5” controller. I like not having to use my phone. Formatted both cards in the drone because I couldn’t figure out how to format a card in the controller. Overall, very pleased with value for dollar.

Amazing Performance at a 249g Weight
This drone has two outstanding features: a very large, clear touch screen so you don’t need a phone, and all of the usual RUKO performance and features at a 249g flying weight.The feature set is a laundry list of options but a beginner can simply start off by leaving the drone in beginner mode, flying a bit, and hitting the return home button. From there you can grow more advanced at your own pace. Point orbit, follow and fought route features all work great. When following you can start video or take a picture with hand gestures.Safety features are impressive as well. If the battery gets too low, the drone will return on its own before it can run out of battery and be lost. It also has a drop immediately function, and if the drone goes down you can find it with the map, plus it has a buzzer feature.Photo and video quality are impressive. Video is silky smooth and the sensor does great in all light conditions. You’ll want a quality Micro SD card – the drone can format the card itself so that’s truly plug and play.Final details: you are supplied with a generous amount of spare parts and the tools you would need to install them. The entire kit is contained within a really nice hard/soft case. The little cheat sheet included with the radio is a great idea!Overall, really happy with this. The performance is great and the massive feature set will keep you busy.

RC3 is a great buy!!
I was looking for an affordable drone that’s easy to fly and provides quality video and a long flight time. Reviews about the Ruko U11MINI 4K were good, so I went with that one. Shipping was very fast and the drone was packaged well. Was very pleased upon the first flight. It performs great and checked all the boxes for me. The RC3 controller has a large built-in screen that I really like. flight time is nice. fun and easy to fly. Takes great video. Called customer service with a couple of minor questions and they were extremely helpful. Will absolutely buy Ruko products again.

Manually Confused
Manual’s small print, non-inclusive content and one terse, fast paced video soured my initial positive impression. QR codes in the printed manual refused to download due to server offline?? Gleaning information from 3rd party YOUTUBE videos only reaped aggravation, confusion and despair. I have and had other drones. Even the cheapest came with excellent instructions. For the price point, I expected better and confidence in the brand has suffered.Help desk? Not always an option when cell coverage isn’t, but I can read and understand clear instructions anywhere.Having not flown and reboxed, I give it 5 stars for an impressive touch screen controller and subtract 3 stars for instructional content / availability.UP-DATE; Discovered the discreet drop-down menu in settings for accessing the location services. Updated the review to 4 stars now that waypoint flying and other GPS/map features are enabled.

Great features for the price
I upgraded to this drone from my F11pro 2 and couldn’t be happier. This smaller drone packs a big punch and has a ton of features for the price point. Three fly modes makes it easy for a novice like myself. The video on the camera is great.
