Options for a basic drone as of August 2025

Options for a basic drone as of August 2025

I’m looking at options for a replacement for my lost DJI Mini 4K

Price maximum is maybe £300
I’ve got a spare battery for the Mini, so hope to reuse it

Want to have the same 4K quality for the camera

Is there a “next gen” of the Mini 4K coming soon, even already available

Cheers,
SteveC.

£268 for a like for like replacement at Amazon

Did you not buy Care Refresh?

Sadly I didn’t realise this was an option, and by the time I did, it was no longer an option :sad_but_relieved_face:

How much does it cost?

And do you happen to know if I can get the drone without the controller, as I still have my original … only the drone was lost :slight_smile:

Check out ebay for refurbs, or buy it and sell the controller on

You will have ticked NO during set up ;o(

@steveculshaw you can get just the drone ether via direct from DJI or Amazon

£268.25

You can also apply the DJI refresh when you get the new drone too so that it saves you in the event of this happening again or if you crash and need a repair.

Thanks for the information :+1:

I’d not realised what it offered … thought it was another extended warranty type thing

I really wish I had … and I certainly will when I can buy a replacement

Far from it, it really is a no brainer for these little mishaps

I can personally agree with @milkmanchris when he says Care Refresh is worth it…had my severely damaged Air 3 replaced by Dji and the whole claim process was very simple and they sent me a new, sealed and boxed retail unit in two working days :ok_hand:

@le60lad Thanks for the pointer :+1:

I bought a years care & refresh with mine, just purchased another years, if you do it before first years expires you can renew without hassle.

Something weird, I renewed care n refresh for the 2 se back in July ( bought Aug last year), just checked for my Neo and can’t renew, says no longer meets requirements? Still a months left so don’t understand.
