I am looking for a drone for my son. Anyone in the Denver metro selling their drone?
Check out a RUKO pro, on amazon. They run around 200$ and take great pics. pretty tough too. 30min flight time. I’ve had mine for a few years.

I would have considered getting one for a backup to my (third) Mavik mini, but the image megapixels are considerably less, supposedly. Megapixels and wind rating are the most important factors IMO, for inspecting anyway.
The Amazon listing says that ruko is just over 8mp, but the DJI is 12mp.
I also don’t see any prop guards available for that brand? I never fly without em
@jerck if he gets a DJI Mavik Mini, I have some extra batteries & charger, an extra controller and prop guards I can put in the mail for him.

DJI Mini 3 is a good option. Up to 48 Mega pixels taking movie. Inexpensive when you think of it. USD $419.

Costco has the DJI Mini 3 on sale for $300 ($100 off). If your son wants to use it for commercial work, Remote ID could require a few extra hoops to jump through verses the DJI Mini 3 Pro (or other drones for that matter). I think the Mini 3 needs the bigger battery to trigger Remote ID, and the Costco one has the standard battery. It’s been a while since I have researched drones, so these things might have changed. I have not purchased a drone yet, so I can’t give any real world opinions about it.

Correct in Canada. Do not know state side regulations.
