Ruko U11MINI 4K, Under 249g Pocket Drone with Camera for Adults 8K Photo 4K/30fps Video, 3-Axis Gimbal ElS, 20000ft Digital Transmission, FAA- Exempt (32-Min Flight)

I’ve been really impressed with the Ruko U11MINI 4K Drone so far. It’s super compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to travel with and a great option if you don’t want to deal with FAA registration. The camera quality is surprisingly good for the price—you get crisp 4K video and really detailed photos, and the stabilization keeps footage smooth. Battery life is another big win since it comes with multiple batteries, giving you a lot more total flight time than most drones in this range. It’s also very beginner-friendly with features like GPS positioning, auto return, and easy controls, but still feels capable enough for more experienced users.

I recently purchased this Ruko U11MINI 4k drone as an "upgrade" to the Ruko F11PRO drone that I've owned since 2020. Going from one Ruko drone to another made the learning curve much quicker. I love the setup and connection of the U11MINI 4k. Using the USB-C cable vs having to deal with Wi-Fi is great. This controller supports a huge range of phone sizes too. I was able to use my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 in it's case - both folded and unfolded! Unfolded, it gave me a massive 6" x 6" control screen! The U11MINI 4k is very responsive and maneuverable , and it's super easy to take off and land. I was flying my mini drone in a slight breeze surrounded by trees, and I always felt like I was in complete control. The image and video quality is excellent , and the video is super stable. Coming from an F11PRO, I can tell you it's night and day - with the U11MINI being lightyears ahead. Size-wise - I love the U11MINI 4k as well. It's so much smaller and lighter than my F11PRO. Overall, it's a great drone for both a complete beginner and for an experienced drone pilot!

Very responsive customer service and a smooth warranty experience. Thanks, Ruko!

I received the drone and found that the gimbal/camera couldn’t be controlled with the remote. It would stay on the center position and couldn’t move it up or down. I started a support request with Ruko but I haven’t heard from the in two days. This is frustrating and I am disappointed with the service. I am considering returning and just go with a different company. I will send another update with the outcome Ruko after a week after opening a ticket with their company Ruko sent a replacement drone and everything works. It appears to be just bad luck in getting a defective drone. The drone it self works great

The item is fine I guess, it's the bait and switch the upsets me. I know I ordered the version with 2 batteries. What I received had only one battery. Now the 2 battery option is no longer on the website. I may understand if the price had been adjusted down to account for the $70.00 additional battery, but it wasn't. I'm still deciding if a want to eat the OVERCHARGE or to just return it.

This thing is definitely an upgrade from the U11mini . The 8K photo 4K video with the gimbals is a game changer. The stillness and quality of the pictures and video is incredible. The fact that it’s under 250 g is also a plus. This is a great Drone for both beginners and advanced users. The features are fun they work. The follow me, the circle in a point, and the cruise control if you have a wide open area is awesome. Battery life is great. The quality is at the top of the industry. And the customer service is second to none. You’ll have to pay a lot more from other manufacturers to get the features and quality of this drone. 20,000 feet transmission distance. That’s incredible. all I can say is buy it you won’t regret it. I really like the fact that it has different speeds for when your indoors or outdoors or in a little bit stiffer wind! The controller is rock solid and the fact that you can connect it directly is a game changer. Great job Ruko!!

The operating instructions are not effective. The Quick Start pamphlet has a QR code that doesn't provide the promised video. Youtube videos are amateurish and skip over necessary steps.

So far a great little drone. Stable image. Stable flight. Easy to use. Worth the money. Had a problem with battery not charging but customer service seems to be prompt and they are sending me a replacement. I will follow up with a more through review when the replacement battery arrives.
