There are plenty of other four-rotor quadcopter drones on the market that provide similar features to the drone you see here, but Xiaomi’s Mi Drone manages to pack all of those features into a package with a price tag that won’t require talking to a financial advisor to purchase. With a three-axis gimbal, 4K camera, smartphone-based remote control, Sony 12M CMOS sensor, 5,100mAh battery and a modular, replaceable collection of parts, China’s most popular consumer electronics brand just created the highest performing bang for your buck drone we’ve ever seen. With 27 minutes of flight time on a single charge and GPS and GLONASS positioning, the Mi Drone performs as well as anything we’ve played with, but it’s a fraction of the cost.
