Just Fun Tech: Ruko U11MINI Drone Review

Well back to another edition of Just Fun Tech, our semi-regular column where we look at tech that has nothing to do with gaming but is just plain fun and interesting. Last week, we looked at the Holy Stone HS900 drone and liked it! But at $379.99, it was just too expensive for many beginners to the hobby. Today, we’re looking at the Ruko U11MINI. 

From the team that brought us the excellent F11GIM2, we have a 4K drone with nearly two miles of fly distance, GPS navigation, all in a two battery package with a handy travel case and lots of replacement parts. It retails for $279.99, or $249.99 with the current $30 off coupon, so it’s more affordable but lacks a gimbal to keep the price down. It’s a good beginner option but not something you’ll want to use for more than personal recordings.

What is Just Fun Tech?

Here at MMORPG, we often get requests to review products that fall outside of our scope. Beauty products, clothes dryers, couches, thermal cameras… the works. Most of the time, these are just not a good fit, but every now and again, we get a request for something that looks genuinely fun and interesting. We believe that though it is PC gaming that draws us together, our audience is interested in fun and exciting technology. Rather than let those opportunities pass, we decided to share them with you as part of this special series. 

With many of these products, we don’t claim to be the expert authority. Instead, we approach them from the newcomer’s perspective with two core questions: Are they fun and do they bring joy that enhances your life? Just FunTech is about highlighting and exploring these products.

Ruko U11MINI- A Sequel of Sorts…

If you’re a regular reader, you may have noticed that we just did another drone review. The HS900 from Holy Stone. Before we did that review for Just Fun Tech, I reached out to Ruko because my F11GIM2 had been having troubles and I wanted to have it on-hand for comparison. The
