Cool. It's an awesome drone.

just wanted to say a big thanks for this informative video. I have the original mavic mini and dont use it too much due to its limitations. I was considering a used Mavic 3, but after watching this, it makes sense to get the 4.

I made the jump from The mini 3 pro to mini 4. I really like seeing the homepoint on the screen. And a ? For ya. Mini 4 pro or mavic 3 classic if you had to pick only one?

Do they have the same propellers or different ones? Which drone makes the most noise, please test it?

I watched a couple of comparison videos between these 2 drones, this one was the best.

I’m looking for my first drone for my travel this spring. Is it worth getting 3pro or just bite the bullet and get min4pro? Ty.

well done, thanks for your efforts

Have air 2s thinking about upgrading is this an upgrade or air3?

Which handle better wind, 3Pro or 4Pro?

The DJI MIni 4 Pro is best Mini drone yet. But I agree it's not a must upgrade if you already have the Mini 3 Pro. Unless you can't live without Waypoints and Omni-directional OA. Great review, and thanks for sharing Billy.

And you like flying more than 1000 ft without signal problems that makes the 3 basically useless.

Hi Billy, nice comparison of the Mini 3 to Mini 4, thank you. One advantage of the Mini 3 is that there are SDKs for the Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro. That lets those drones do mapping applications using third party apps like Map Pilot Pro. An advantage of the DJI RC2 compared to the RC1 is that the RC2 has the ability to output HDMI using a USB-C to HDMI cable.

I thought the RC1 for Mini 3 Pro did not allow third party apps....

Which drone would you recommend for real estate photography? With the possible DJI ban, I'm nervous buying a DJI with a possible ban

Video Idea: I'd like to see these drones race both horizontal & vertical. I think you could just choose race markers side-by-side the footage of each drone to see if the acceleration speeds are noticeable, obviously the Mini 4 drops faster but maybe it gets to point-A to point-B faster too. The 4 is more round so it might be able to climb slightly quicker too. I need to do the math but for total air-time not-waisted... I wonder about the fun difference in a Mini 4 Pro Plus kit vs just getting an AIR 3. With the wild speed of an AIR 3 I imagine I'd be twice as likely to need the Flyaway/damage coverage which is basically like-the-cost of having a Mini with no coverage..

Has the mini 3 got waypoints now ?

Does the Mini 4 Pro still suffer from heat issues, which I know happened with the 3 Pro

Will my mini pro 3 remote work with the mini pro 4?

Do you speed up the content a touch when you edit these videos ?

Btw d cinelike on mini3pro 10bit aswell if shot in h265 i think

I have and like the Mini 3Pro, but ... BUT ... it's sooooo dissapointing that it doesn't have Waypoints!!!! Had I know that the Mini 4 Pro would be coming out when it did I would have waited for it (just like you Mavic 3 folks ... same dissapointment you have). Thanks Billy for your (always) great reviews. Cheers, Chuck (Jacksonville, FL)

@ParodyGuy2024

Willing to bet an attachment was added on the drone weighing it down a little more. That is an error that occurs when I put some payload on it occasionally.

Great comparison, Billy! Anyone knows if oculus 2 can be used as virtual reality with any of those drones?

@JThemelis

2 ай бұрын

I don't believe the Oculus will work with these drones, if you really wanted the immersive FPV feel, i THINK you might be able to use DJI Goggles v2, DJI goggles 2, or DJI Goggles Integra - look into those options :)

In the UK, the upgraded transmission on the Mini4pro has made no difference to the distance I can fly, in fact it is still the same as the Air, Air 2 and the S. Also the mini 3pro, none will out do the reach of one over the other. I know that it is down the CE transmission and the interference. Was hoping the 4pro could work its magic, but no joy. Best Dave

Can't fault DJI for a government issue.

Great video, but no one can answer my question I've been debating with these other drones guys.... My Skydio 2+ is down, should I pay for repairs knowing their current position or should I just move on to this DJI Mini 4 pro? Can you give me your honest opinion?

@londenard

7 ай бұрын

I can answer that... If your primary purpose for owning a drone is self tracking, repair the Skydio 2. If not, upgrade to the Mini 4. In my honest opinion, the only thing the S2 is good for is tracking. In every other way, the M4 is superior.

Get it fixed and buy the Mini 4 Pro , best of both worlds , there will never be another consumer Skydio so you might as well have it repaired.

Does the mini 3 pro have asteroid mode

So I have a mini 3.. will this be a major upgrade from the regular 3?

@plasticdope

2 ай бұрын

A lot different, especially the obstacle avoidance and the range. The mini 3 is not a significant update from mini 2, and I feel like it is set to be obsoleted very soon, you can tell from the battery compatible. But if DJI release mini 4 (no pro), it might be worth to upgrade.

Do you speed up the talking portion a touch?

I am happy with my upgrade from Mini 2 to Mini 4 Pro ))

@billykyle

7 ай бұрын

That’s a great upgrade

What will get better in future minis? I think that chip technology will continue to improve giving us more processing power for higher framerates and more advanced computational photography/videography. Just as with the trend in smartphones, AI will continue to improve the quality we get from the same camera hardware. Additionally, sensor technology can improve without increasing weight. Arguably, battery technology can also improve. I don't predict the ability to have multiple cameras because of that weight budget, I think this will continue to be a feature of bigger drones. The ability to shoot vertical photos is a really nice trade-off though, maybe this will eventually get implemented into the bigger drones.

More to go wrong with M4P. Returned it and got the can't- go- wrong- proven Mini 3.

What was that internal storage warning?

@billykyle

7 ай бұрын

I just had my storage filled up. Haha

I might have upgraded to the 4pro if it didn't change the filter mount for no reason. Also, from every tech company, can't stand software given to new models that can be on older models. Otherwise, just waiting for a future generation with at least 120fps 4k rather than 100. Hopefully a higher bitrate with 422 color, 1 inch sensor, and improved omnidirectional sensors.

Oh Billy, this video from you is not helpful at all! LOL. Let me explain. I am trying desperately to hold on until the Mini5P only because I'm tired of chasing all upgrades from Apple and DJI. So when I watch videos like these, I get very tempted to just do it. You made the point asking, what more could they pack into a M5P? I've been asking myself the same question, which is basically now a crumbling of my resolve to hold off. Do you sense that I am talking myself into just taking the leap? And then I can kick myself in a year after I see what it is they can pack into the M5P. Thank you for all this great work you do. //Tom

So a friend and I are splitting a gift for a relative who is a teenager and a budding photo/video enthusiast (uses an old Sony camera for video now) - one of us grabbed a Mini 3 pro when there was a deal at Best Buy for 699 with the RC2 vs the other grabbing the Mini 4 pro which is about 300 more. This is an extreme beginner getting this.. Is the min pro 4 with the waypoints and other advantages in your video an easier to learn system with more predictability? I have been arguing saying the avoidance system for since such a new flier is what will help most.. ( Mind you both of us have zero drone experience hence my search of You Tube videos for comparison.) We just want something that he can grow into and enjoy but not be so overwhelming he will quit. Any help would be appreciated. Just subscribed so I can check out other videos. Thanks.

There will be no difference as far as ease of use learning to fly the Mini 3 vs Mini 4. The features offered in the Mini 4 pro just gives more refinements (like Billy said). I think the consensus is if you don't already own Mini 3 Pro you should buy Mini 4 Pro, but its personal decision if the upgrading from 3 to 4 is worth it to you.

All these review videos, and not one you tuber has reviewed the collision avoidance system on the mini 4 pro!

This is bad reviewing when such you tubers seem more concerned with plugging 1minute ad slots in their uploads than actually doing proper reviews!
