  • Excellent Ruko Mini Drone
Color: Updated Black
Ruko has once again produced and excellant mini drone. The U11 Mini 4K RC3 has exceeded my expectations. I am the owner of several drones a few of which are Ruko. This model is the best mini that I have to date. Shipping through Amazon was fast and efficient. The drone was packed in a compact hard-shell case that has everything you need to take flight. The 3-axis gimbal camera excelled in a moderate wind and took excellent, no blur photos every time. You can also zoom and tilt the camera to your liking. Controls are intuitive and easy to learn. This drone would be suitable for beginners and is an excellant value for the money. Upon flight the drone connected to GPS within 30 seconds. I was able to get about 28 minutes of flight time until the unit sensed a low battery and returned the U11 home automatically. I also took the U11 out to its outer limits and when I hit that mark it returned home automatically. The 5.5" controller was easy to see and operate. The U11 seems very durable and should last many hours in flight. As I have used Ruko customer service in the past and I praise the very good response as they have always responded quickly and been able to answer any questions. I look forward to Ruko developing their future drone line and would not hesitate to purchase from this company again ... show more

  • Ruko’s Best Drone
Color: Updated Black
Ruko U11 Mini 4K (RC3) I have been flying the Ruko F11 GIM-2 drone, the Ruko U11 Mini 4k drone, and occasionally a DJI drone for almost two years and now have their newest model (RC3). I believe this new drone is a big technology jump from the other Ruko models currently available. The new 5.5 touch screen RC3 controller makes it unique and much more user friendly to the beginner and even advanced pilots - no longer bumbling around with your phone. The controller and the drone appear to be built to withstand moderate to heavy safe flying usage, and the touch screen provides visual clarity, even in most bright sunlight situations. The preflight protocol remains similar to other Ruko drones except for the “Ready to Fly” banner, the “Quick Transfer” option, PRO button, and on the back of your controller, you can change the C1 and C2 button functions to different preflight operations. This RC3 controller is a big leap forward, making this new drone much more technology driven. Flying the RC3 seams very responsive to the controls, and flies as directed by the pilot in every case. Being a photographer, my immediate interest was the new camera as promised by the folks at Ruko. With the previous Ruko drones the actual photo file size was approximately 2.8 MB – 3.6 MB, and the quality of the images were acceptable. Much to my delight, the new Mini RC3 drone camera captures file sizes approximately 22 MB – 35 MB, and it provides a much higher image product, allowing for much more effective post processing of the images. This new drone camera is advertised as 48 megapixels and is competitive with drones costing much more in my opinion. I’ve attempted to provide a variety of photographs from different angles and altitudes, and the video shows a much more refined product as you look at the old iron bridge on a Kansas dirt road. I will keep flying this new drone and provide more feedback as time goes on. I am more than happy with this new Ruko product but will continue to learn more about this new flying machine. Thank you, Ruko. ... show more

  • This is the drone to buy! Customer service is on point!
I am new to flying quadcopters/drones, and this is my first. I have seen Mavics in operation, and this is a drone that may have fewer features but for the price you cannot beat this drone. I received the drone just a few days ago. It is extremely well packaged. It's heavy too, 585g (for reference the Air 2S clocks in at 595). The box is sturdy, inside the box, is an opaque plastic zip bag that holds the really cool hard side carrying case (think old-school lunchbox for size comparison). Open the carry case, and everything is compartmented in foam. The lid has a mesh zip pocket as well. There is a spot for the extra battery, drone, and controller. Now for the operation. Fold out the arms, press the power button, and the drone is ready to go. I turn on the controller, it connects...and nothing. Turns out you absolutely have to use the app on your cell. The controller has a great spot to securely hold your phone. So, I download the app, fire it up, and look at the quick start guide. You have to calibrate the compass, i.e. turn the drone horizontally and vertically, it'll beep after each and you are ready to go. Or so I thought. The quick start guide says press the sticks to the 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions to start the motors. I do that...nothing happens. I look at the app and there's a button that looks like a bullseye, I press that and a little window pops up and says slide bar to start motors, and a button that says "take off." I do that...still nothing. I look a little more, and see that "GPS mode" is on and it is getting no GPS signal. There's a button on the remote, to cycle through modes, so I press that to a different mode. Here's the important part so I will type slowly and loudly for the folks in the back UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO TAKE YOUR FIRST FLIGHT INDOORS!!! I took all of the steps I mentioned above with the drone sitting on a table in my office. The motors spun up, and I thought cool it works! I'll just lift it off the table and set it back down...WRONG. I made the mistake of using the "one touch takeoff/landing" button on the remote. Let me tell you that if you press that button this thing will leap in the air like a bullfrog with a cattle prod up his a$$! I hit the button and it hit the ceiling and came crashing to the ground! At this point, I'm thinking to myself, there's a $400 lesson learned. I pick up the drone and sure enough, cracked arm. It's now a $400 paper weight; speaking of paper the motors WILL blow paper everywhere if you have any sitting on your table :) Not one to be so easily defeated, I look on the ol' amazon for a replacement arm, and sure enough they have them, but I can't get one (won't ship to Guam). I decide to take a flyer and email customer service with my dilemma. Sybil from Ruko responded within minutes, asking which arm I needed. I tell her, and she says no problem we will send you one free of charge. I'm thinking great new arm, then I get her next email, sorry we can't send it to Guam. Damn. But she says order one and send us the order number and we will refund the cost to you. Holy cow!! These folks are awesome! I actually had already ordered one to be sent stateside to the fam to put in a care package at a later date. Whether Sybil follows through or not, her responsiveness and willingness to help are a rare quality these days. I decided since it's only a crack let me see what crazy glue will do. I put the glue to the crack, waited about 36 hours and just check the pic and video. The quality is outstanding on the camera. Pictures are crystal clear and detailed. The video is crisp. The camera gimbal works great, and produces outstanding pictures. I did all of this without an SD card. The pics/videos are sent to your phone. You connect your phone via wifi to the drone. I launched the drone OUTSIDE my house, went up about 100 feet, flew around a little bit, and hit the home button. It took about 30 seconds for it to decide what to do, and it went straight over to the takeoff point, re-oriented to face the original direction, and slowly descended back to the ground. There is no obstacle avoidance feature like more expensive drones, but I'm not sure that would've helped me on my maiden flight :) Overall, if you are looking for a good introduction to drones without breaking the bank BUY THIS DRONE! This is not a toy. It's also not a $1000 Mavic. What it is, is an outstanding reasonably priced drone with tons of features. Buy it you won't be sorry. (I actually bought a second one in case the crazy glue didn't work). ... show more

  • Great drone for and easy to learn on.
Edit…. After about a year of regular use a battery failed mid flight. Drone was smoking when I got to the place it fell. This is probably just a freak incident, but it did happen. Overall, I still feel it was a decent drone for the time I owned it. This is my first good quality drone. Camera quality is good and the 2 axis gimbal does well at keeping the camera stable in flight. The up and down control for the camera is really really slow which is a bit frustrating when trying to set up shots or adjust in flight. I also noticed some shaking in the shots if I adjust the camera angle mid flight. Camera has a digital zoom that does ok but as with most digital zooms you sacrifice some quality of the image the more you zoom in. One feature I like is the ability to view your photos and videos on your phone right away after your flight ( or mid flight if you are brave). The footage recorded to your phone is at a reduced quality but the full quality footage is available off the micro as card on the drone. Low light / night recording is not great… however ever you really should not be flying at night anyway. Also to have a camera that could do low light or night shots would greatly add to the cost of the drone. The transmitter ( remote) is easy to hold and is not overwhelming with s bunch of buttons and switches ( this could be good or bad… I’m used to lots more on my transmitter being as I also fly rc planes and helicopters). For someone that has flown a lot of rc’s the controls will take some getting used to. The controls are very forgiving… you can do full stick movements in any flight mode and the drone doesn’t react crazy. I keep trying to fly with very small control inputs and the drone really doesn’t react till I do what seems very excessive stick inputs ( good for new pilots but feels wrong to someone used to planes and helicopters). Flight time is about 15-25 minutes realistically depending on wind, temperature, and how you are flying the drone. No need to worry though because if the battery gets to low the drone will auto return to home (place you took off). Overall I would say this is a good step toward the professional level drones that won’t break the bank compared to the high end name brand drones. ... show more

  • Ruko has definitely figured out how to produce an amazing drone without spending thousands!
Color: Classic Black
This Ruko U11MINI has me blown away for so many reasons. The picture and video quality is not lacking at all, very surprised with the quality of the camera in all lighting conditions. I have not had any connection problems with this thing even at a pretty far distance. They make setup super easy by laying a cheat sheet card over the remote so that when you pull it out of the box its easy to understand along withe stickers to remove from the drone that explain them features too. Definitely happy with this purchase for sure! In fact we had hail come through our area and my neighbor saw me flying this drone and asked me if we could check out his roof. Well go figure the clear images showed hail damage to his roof. Who would have known this drone was going to be such a useful tool. I think my favorite thing about this drone is that its under 250 grams so I don't have to worry about going through government registration!! This drone has so many features such as cruse control automatic modes and many many more including automatic landing from its take off spot. Also with the extra value of 3 battery's the fun doesn't have to stop. Inside the very nice carrying case you will also find spare parts incase there is a mistake made too. Honestly such an easy drone to fly I doubt that you will need them. I will tell you that one time I was flying and probably shouldn't have been due to high wind and I was very high in the air like 390 ft and the wind picked up more and I thought I was in trouble until I put this bad boy in sport mode and had no problem powering through it. Definitely shocked with the quality and performance of this little drone. I think for the price and what you get with it like 3 battery's , nice storage carrying case, extra parts including extra cables YOU CANT GO WRONG! I have over a month with this drone and love it!! ... show more

  • Excellent WELL made drone with many features
I have been extremely impressed with this drone on numerous occasions especially at this price point. I am new to flying "real" drones after only fooling around with more toy like drones in the past so I thought there would be a big learning curve, but this drone has impressed since I've opened it. The drone gets you started in Beginner mode where you can learn some of the features while limiting how far and high your drone can fly to protect both yourself and your investment in the drone. This is nice feature right out of the fox and every novice drone operator should take full advantage of. I flew mine in this mode for the first 5-6 flights just to be sure I knew what was going on as this drone is not a toy and is capable of much more. Once comfortable with the flight controls, I finally set her free and how fun it has been. This drone is easy to control with lots of feature such as "follow me and point of interest video". The 4k video and pictures are evident with every snap and video taken, the images are crystal clear, and we got some excellent video and images while vacationing in Bermuda. The return home button is fantastic and has always brought my drone home safely, just be sure to set your return heights in the settings to coincide with the surrounding areas (i.e. if there are trees or poles in your flight path be sure to set the return home height above the height of those obstacles). The wind resistance feature is also amazing as in light winds its barely noticeable and even in heavier winds you can see and hear the drone battling the wind effectively. So many other features I'm still playing around with months later and learning. Since I'm a novice flyer this drone has had some bumps and bruises but nothing out of ordinary, mostly related toa rough landing while trying to control the drone in heavy winds near the oceanfront but its taken everything. I would highly recommend this drone both for beginners and more experienced, it has all the features to enable a rookie operator to learn and enough features to be a go to drone for a more seasoned operator who may not want to fly a more expensive unit in certain areas. And 1 finally thing I wanted to mention. The customer service of this company is nothing short of amazing. From the time the drone ships they follow up with you to make sure everything is going ok sending emails every so often to see how things are going, and to see if any questions you may have. The customer service team has always answered emails promptly and always to my satisfaction which is something that a lot of company's these days lack for these reasons alone this drone is worth the investment. I had a small warranty issue that was resolved quickly and efficiently and to my complete satisfaction and would like to Recognize the customer service representative Cherry specifically. She has been a godsend and am so happy with her customer service I feel like you she needed to be acknowledged in this review specifically. Thank you, Cherry, for your outstanding customer service and attention to detail. Buy this drone, you will not be disappointed. ... show more

  • Fantastic drone, buy it you won’t regret it.
Color: Classic Black
Great drone for the price. Very easy to fly, my son has pretty severe cerebral palsy and he can fly it well. Stable even in wind, hovers right where you leave it. Very good camera with great resolution, it even pivots up and down to get angle you need, adjustment is on controller. Camera has been upgraded and is very stable, even with windy wobbly flight. Videos look professional even when you’re still learning, as I am. It’s pretty fast when you put it in speed mode. Can go up over 300ft. Very easy to learn with this drone, the first mode on controller makes to very easy to fly, even in speed mode it’s not hard to control. Display on phone has all the info you need and hooks up easily, comes with lightning, usb type C and micro cable, so it will hook up to any phone. Battery life is really good as well. Carrying case is very nice and even has extra blades. This is a great little drone. It’s hard to believe a drone this good is so inexpensive. ... show more

I've had my Ruko U11 4K mini for about 6 months. It is my first drone and it easy very easy to use as a beginner. It has a beginner mode which I utilized until I felt comfortable flying further and faster. Im really enjoying it. I've had a couple of software issues, one fixed by an update and the other the Support team is helping me with. Their Support is great. They are very responsive and have been very helpful to me. I love that I can just message them on WhatsApp and chat with them. I would definitely recommend this drone to beginners or even intermediate pilots. Its very user friendly, takes great pictures and videos and is easy to fly. That combined with great support and a very reasonable price, is why I gave them 5 stars. ... show more
