Thanks for the overview! This was super helful

Thanks man.. Really honest review :)

Thank you for your comprehensive video.

Great video. I’ve only got a few hours in my mini 4 pro so far and found this really helpful.

We appreciate your sincerity!!! Thank you very much. 💯💯💯

Mine arrives tomorrow! Very helpful video I also subscribed 💯🙏

Cool video! Danny, will you be doing a video with the Mini4Pro or the Air3 while using the goggles3?

What did you use for a handle bar mount for the controller?

I have to possibly shoot a video over water for boats. Is this a good drone for that or do I need something bigger?

Hi, have you noticed that the outer shell makes this creaky sound when squeezed? Compared to, say, the Mini 2 - the build quality feels less sturdy. I'm not sure if this is by design to pack in more tech while still keeping the body nimble and durably light, but it does get on my nerves. Your thoughts? Thanks!

Nice video Danny and awesome review. Liked and subscribe. Does your LUT work for light cut pro dumb question but would like to purchase if it is.

New Sub - I've been a Part 107 Pilot for 3 years and just purchased a Mini 4 Pro. I have a Mini 1 and 2 and am looking forward to this one! I'll be following your channel!

Uk here. I have just had BBC broadcast quality film crew working in my garden. I was excited to see what drone the cameraman was using. Mini 4 Pro. Amazing quality along with Sony cinema camera! Great video 👍

Wondering how long the RC2 controller can be on before it runs out of battery?

well, to use active track the light conditions have to be well. due to the little cameras used for obstacle avoidance it is more likely to not crash when enough light goes in.

Got mine a week ago and it's fantastic

Love you channel and your reviews... As a world traveler with the drone do you have a website of countries where the drone laws are posted, updated to know which countries are allowed and which are not..

what is a Luts? Softwear? Can be used with iMovie?

Great review. But I found my DJI mini 4 Pro battery gets discharged very fast. When recording for 3-4 minutes or flying for 10-12 minutes the battery gets discharged completely. What could be the reason for this poor performance of the battery?

Great video... I am going to buy the mini 2 SE, I have never flown a drone before, so I figure I am going to crash it a bunch of times. When I am confident with that drone, then I will upgrade to the 4 or maybe 5 if its out. Feature set is great for basic shots, some cool b roll footage.

The only New Dji budget drone im aware of is the Mini 3 ( not the pro). A drone without obstacle avoidance. Still not cheap. I had the Mini 4 pro, but swapped for the Air 3. Much much better drone. The 70 mm 2nd camera is a massive advantage. Wind resistance is so nuch better. Where i live wind is a problem, and the mini 4 pro just struggled all the time. So always had to forget flying. Obviously the drone laws make the mini tempting, but the 3x lens means i can get much closer to the point of interest without having the drone on top of it.

Danny, super job reporting on this drone. I have always liked the bigger, heavier drones but they were a pain to travel and bike with. For me, it's about the camera and technology (obstacle avoidance is a game changer). I'm picking one up on Friday!!! Yeah!

how was Costa Rica on the bike trip?

I plan to buy a drone in the summer, but In your honest opinion will the Mini 4 pro do everything i need it to do for real estate , wedding and Vlogging etc ?

Totally agree that omnidirectional obstacle avoidance doesn't work great with trees with tiny branches. My drone crashed into one while on auto track. That said, the DJI repair service was excellent. Returned my drone fixed within the week. Also, during windy conditions, it definitely struggles. I am really tempted to try the air or mavic pro on the next update.

@williamomar6790

No, the newest things aren’t always the “best budget”. Low budget is buying a used or refurbished mini 2 for example, which has excellent image quality especially when you barely use drones and just want one for random occasions. Mini 4 pro isn’t exactly a “budget” price especially for people that aren’t creating content or video for money.

I wasn’t aware the Mini 4 Pro Combo packed the ND filters in also? 🤔

I wish the controller worked with the mini 2. It does everything Ineed in a drone, but have to hook up the phone or tablet, means I don't fly or shoot as much. I flew a friends mini 4 and being able to grab the controller and run out to grab a quick shot was so easy. I don't drone enough to fork out for a mini 4 pro, at least not right now, but I do think it is a great drone for the money.

Dont think you can, its a c0 classed drone, but since it has a camera it falls under the A1/A3 subcategory, which limits the drone to 120m unfortunately

@yoshy2628

2 ай бұрын

Yes, if you did declassify your M4P drone before 31.12.2023. Will become C1 class, but because is under 250 grams there is no license obligation. You can go up to 500m, if your controller is connected to the internet. If you're away from any wi-fi you can use your phone, to create a hotspot. I own a M4P and I did declassify my drone on 27.12, 99% of the time 120m limit is enough. PS - If you need any service from DJI and your drone will be replaced with a new one they will provide a C0 drone that cannot be declassify again, or at least that was the tip from DJI last year.

I don't get how people keep calling the DJI Mini 4 Pro a budget drone? It's not a budget drone at around $1,000 to 1,300 bucks. Unless you can run on 1 battery, the drone, and controller. The Mini 3 or 3 Pro would be more of a budget drone as everyone calls it. $429 Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro of $700 bucks range. At that $1,100 dollar range why not just get the Air 3 or spend a little more and get the Mavic 3 Classic? Budget Drone my ass.
