Ruko's latest drone is half-baked in every regard, and shows that DJI still has little to worry about

The Ruko U11Mini 4K isn't a disaster, but it's hard to recommend in a world where the DJI Lito 1 exists. A worrying mid-flight voltage drop, wind performance that falls short of Ruko's own claims, imprecise joysticks and a baffling lack of USB connectivity all add up to a drone that just feels if not unfinished then certainly unpolished. The camera, meanwhile, produces passable 4K video but struggles badly with stills. The RC3 touchscreen controller is a highlight, but not enough to tip the balance.

Pros

  • +Light and folds to a pocketable size
  • +4K video is watchable when captured in good light

Cons

  • -Joystick dead zone makes smooth camera moves a struggle
  • -Camera routinely overexposes
  • -No obstacle avoidance of any kind
  • -No USB port makes accessing internal storage tricky
