I could grab the 4K for $230 and Mini 3 for $360, but cannot decide between the two. If the only difference was camera quality and camera features, I would pick the 4K as I am not that much of a camera person, but wouldn’t want to regret if the Mini 3 is better performer overall especially if range is different
My thoughts on this would be to get the Mini 3 as having a better camera is what matters in a camera drone
I went for Mini 4 Pro cause I have a monetized YT channel and I wanted a nice drone with sensors to carry around everywhere without too much paperwork
The camera is a lot better, like a lot. Sorry but mini 4K’s camera is just awful for 2025 standards.
Mini 4k pro has Sideways obstacle sensor / avoidance is a major one.
Just go to DJI website and use their “compare” feature between the drones you want so you can see all the differences.

I agree with looking at the chart. The following is based on my experience with all of the Mini line.
Mini 4k is really just a Mini 2. The Mini 3 is better all around. The 3 was a major leap forward. I’ve moved on to the the 4, but for the money the 3 isn’t a bad choice. You will catch the fever and eventually want to upgrade. So skip the Mini 2 if you have the budget for the 3. Then wait a year or so and get the 5 if you get really into drone flying. Just skip the 4 at this point. I still have all of my Mini 1 thru 4. They are all fun drones.
Hope that helps! Stay away from trees and power lines. If you are new to flying. The best tip I can give, is to just let go of the sticks in a panic situation. The drone will stop and hover. I had to build that reflex over time and many crashed drones.
Happy flying!!

There is no mini 4k pro. There is only the Mini 4k or the
Mini 4 pro and they differ vastly.

The Mini4k OP is talking about doesn’t have any Sensors at all
It’s a rebadged Mini 2SE
