I have checked out the DJI Mini series, and both the 3 and 3 Pro seem reasonably priced with plenty of features.
However, DJI is known as the Apple of drones, which often means higher prices for similar features.
Are there any other drones like this, or should I stick with one of the DJI Minis?
There are drones for higher prices like the Autel Evo Nano Plus but not with similar features as of that of DJI mini series. You should just stick with the DJI Minis because as you have said for yourself DJI is known as the Apple of drones
