Drone flying is an excellent hobby, but with so many drones on the market these days, a beginner might not know where to spend their hard-earned cash.

Stepping into view is the RUKO U11MINI 4K, a 4K drone priced between $299 and $399 with up to 96 minutes of battery life. Want to know more? Read on…

But first, let us give you a little gift. RUKO is offering KnowTechie readers 15% off the cost of the U11MINI 4K three-battery pack edition with code ME9J-R266CL-YL5HAM at checkout! But you’ll have to act quickly because the code is good from today through June 22.

Introducing the RUKO U11MINI 4K drone

The RUKO U11MINI 4K drone is packed with features, despite being inexpensive compared to other drones on the market. Here’s what I like:

Impressive battery life

So, what is this palm-sized powerhouse all about, then? Well, as mentioned, one standout feature is the potential for a huge 96-minute battery life. This is provided in the form of three battery packs, all of which accept PD 3.0 charging. 

You can buy the drone with between one and three battery packs, increasing your flight sessions by 32 minutes with each battery you buy.

If you choose the single battery option, Ruko also has a coupon code for that particular model: K27L-DCNAZS-2ZUZA2. Like the previous code, the discount is valid through June 22.

Great photo and video potential

The device can also shoot 8K aerial photography, for which a memory card is required. If you decide to save images to your smartphone instead, then the maximum image resolution is 4K.

No complaints here, though; that is still a very nice photo resolution even without the memory card. The image transmission distance is 6000m.

The U11MINI 4K is also capable of shooting video at… you guessed it… a resolution of 4K! This should make for some stunning video captures as you fly your drone through the skies. The drone shoots video at 30 FPS.

Pure pocket-sized power

Another great U11MINI 4K drone feature is its size and weight. Small enough to fit in your pocket, the device measures a compact 14.1 x 8.7 x 6.2cm when folded. When opened, it measures 32 x 19.2 x 6.2cm.

The drone weighs a minuscule 249 grams, making it easy to transport around. It is also free from any FAA regulations, meaning you can fly it wherever and whenever you like (obviously not over airports or military bases, though; that would be a stupid thing to do).

Perfect for beginners

I mentioned beginners at the start of this article. The U11MINI 4K drone is ideal for those who are inexperienced with flying drones.

Probably one of the toughest skills to master with a drone is landing and taking off. Not sending your new drone crashing into a wall is a good idea, so why not let AI assist with takeoff and landing, so that you don’t have to worry?

Well, with the U11MINI 4K, this is all possible. It can leverage its AI capabilities to manage GPS, barometric altitude hold, optical flow, and TOF positioning, ensuring a super-smooth take-off and landing.

In addition, the app you will use to control the U11MINI 4K is very simple, allowing you to concentrate on flying your drone rather than navigating confusing menus and options you don’t understand yet.

Let’s face it: If you just bought a drone, you want to get it into the sky pronto, right?! Well, thanks to a well-designed and easy-to-use mobile app, you’ll have your wings in the air faster than you can say Lufthansa.
