While both are advertised with a 4K camera, the HS175D fails against the DJI MINI because it does not have a 3-axis stabilization. The total package comes in about 1 kg, including the case, spare battery, and two chargers. If you are planning to throw the HS175D in a backpack for a long trip, be aware that the controller adds another 150 grams and is roughly the same size as the drone.
