4DRC F9 Pro 2021: Mavic Mini alternative under $90

Priced for only $89, the 4DRC F9 Pro drone is the cheapest GPS-enabled Mavic Mini alternative with brushless motors, intelligent flight modes, and a dual-camera system. In addition to the frontal 6K camera, it has a 1080P camera which serves as an optical flow positioning sensor (OFP).

The main camera is capable to take 4096 * 3072 photos and recording 2048 * 1080 @ 25fps videos. Apparently, there is no onboard recording, so all the files are stored on your phone’s memory. The camera features WIFI real-time image transmission and ESC camera angle control.

According to the advertised specs, the high capacity (2s 2500mAh) battery allows up to 30 minutes of flight time. Very impressive battery life from such a budget drone.

Thanks to the fail-safe return to home (RTH) function, in case of remote controller signal loss or low flight battery voltage, the 4DRC F9 drone will return autonomously to the take-off point.
