Beginner drone models from smaller manufacturers are benefitting from the trickle-down of features, with most new models now offering 4K video capture and 3-axis gimbals. It may not sound like much, but it marks a turning point where the best beginner drones are typically enjoying more innovative designs and features while basic models are also improving.
The Ruko F11PRO 2 undoubtedly benefits from this, but it's a curiosity because although it's incredibly well-made and looks and feels like a high-quality small and lightweight drone, at 12.6oz / 357g it sits above the 250g regulator-friendly weight threshold; this puts it in the same category as models such as the DJI Air 3S and the DJI Mavic 3 Pro despite being much smaller and a touch over half the weight of the Air 3S.
