I also have the Mini 4 Pro for about 2 weeks and am impressed from its stick coupling. It behaves much more exact to stick inputs than my old Mini 2. Also the video transmission is much more smooth on the RC2 than it was on my Mini 2 with a very good smartphone. I am used flying with video goggles and used Litchi app with cardboard-type goggles for the Mini 2. As DJI does not guarantee to add Mini 4 support to their SDK very soon if ever, I went for the RC2 instead of using a smartphone again. The RC2 supports display port over USB, so I was able to connect an USB-to-HDMI adapter and get the image onto my old white DJI goggles. But then I got aware of the Rokid Max AR Headset RM201 and wow, it works great! It works by just mirroring the RC2 screen 1:1, so you can still operate all menus on the RC2 screen while the goggles are connected. I now am flying as relaxed with these goggles as I did with Mini 2 and Litchi.

Rob: nice to see the best scenery in the world as the subject! Planning on getting the M4P in a few days, then sell my M3Ps, mainly for the better transmission. Amazing how fast the tech is progressing. Thanks for the share...

I love the waypoint feature on my M4P. I've created missions during the day and then gone back outside in the pitch black and it has repeated them nearly perfectly. Position in space, exact yaw and it puts the gimbal near exact even though the camera was completely blind. You can even run the missions while the drone is grounded. It will pop a confirmation, and once you confirm it will take off and execute the mission all by itself

I agree, the Mini 4 Pro is the best travel drone. I don’t do much tracking, so that feature isn’t very important to me. Great review, thanks for sharing Rob.

Love your videos, especially the Hawaii ones cuz I live on Maui and Oahu. Love seeing familiar places. Curious why you don't use stealth propellers? I love mine.

Quick question concerning active track, has a firmware update corrected any dissatisfaction with using it?

I love the waypoints for construction site monitoring. I can fly the site once and set waypoints where I want to take pictures, and then in the future when I go back I don’t need to do anything besides just flying the mission. With my old drone I used to use Litchi to create missions which works, but it’s just so much quicker to do it while the drone is in the air.

Stunning footage Rob, hope you and the misses had a great time.

​@RobHK would you say the mini 3 pro active track and obstacle avoidance is better than the mini 4 even though the mini 3 pro has no side sensors?

The active track was an issue for me as well when KI picked it up when it first came out. However, it has sense been resolved with Firmware update.

when you used active track did you try cinematic mode to smooth out the tracking?

Hi. I’m more in photography. Have a Mini 3 pro and a Mavic 3. Would use the last one exclusively when there is more need for more dynamic range or filming. But turned out that I’m using almost all the time the Mini 3 pro, so easy to grap and use. As a photographer I must say that for the most of the shots I’m using the 48mp mode even for panoramas. When light conditions are harder I’m taking most of the time two shots with 2-3 stops difference and blend them in LR (one exposure for the foreground and one for the sky. Why the 48mp mode: did several tests and found that the resolution is higher than the 12mp pictures. Test is easily done by taking pictures with text in the shot. All this is at the cost of less DR and more noise…sadly. The 48mp mode is also asking for higher shutter speeds. Maybe that’s why some people don’t see the difference between the 12 and 48mp mode. So come to my questions to you think it’s worth upgrading as a photographer, does the pano mode and HDR mode involve 48mp mode as well ? Thank you nice video by the way. Bought your LUT’s which as I understand could use for my Mavic 3 and other devices.

Hi Rob, where do you recommend I purchase the filters you recommended for the mini pro 4? I’m in Australia ❤😊

I love my M4P. I’ve spent a couple afternoons flying it (my wife and I like to picnic at a park nearby our house) high up and around the local community. The views of the green rolling hills and ocean beyond are spectacular. By the way I tried to find the cheat sheet but missed it. Where is it in the description?

Which DJI Goggles do you recommend for mini 3/4?

You make some great points to ponder, Robin. Now the age old question - do I upgrade from the M3P or give this level a pass until the next one. The M3P is a very capable drone as you know. I am not travelling again until the Spring/24, so I wonder how many times I will change my decision, back and forth before travel time. Thank you for your thoughts, and the beautiful sights of Oahu. //Tom

Waypoint question - can you fly a set of waypoints that are out of range of the RC2 (say you are launching in a closed in forest setting and want it to go abit further away) without it going into RTH mode due to loss of signal... and will it will fly the route then come back in range?

Could be, but i had the issue where the sun dont shine as well, so no difference tbh. But waypoints adds up for the poor tracking and is the main reason i got this🙌🙌🙌

Could the problems you were having with "active tracking" have anything to do with the dark colour of your rucksack, I wonder? The sensors might not be able to pick up dark subjects well (which I discovered when I drove my car backwards into a black post!)

Love mine 😊✌️

I too use a prop guard frim my Mini 3 as it is so much easier to use. I tried others LUTS and have not liked any. I can edit color as needed, however, don't do color grading but prefer what comes out of the Mavic 3 and have not decided on the Mini 4 pro, however, their built in camera software color seems quit good.

When you mount the prop guard strap, make sure the motor turns free and props are not pinched. I where my winter jacket, instead of a back pack and I just put everything in my pockets, no back pack, not sure what other drones you an do that with.

It’s a shame about the active track. The rest of the drone looks pretty sweet though. I have a DJI Spark that I’ve had for like 6-7 years. I don’t use it much but mainly because the connection is rubbish and it’s a pain having to connect my phone to the controller via wifi every time. Considering upgrading to the Mini Pro 4 but I just need to make sure I use it so it’s worth it haha.

Flight time I haven’t yet managed I get over 20 minutes. Obstacle avoidance has been intermittent. Managed to crash into a large branch in good lighting. Sun behind the drone so no dazzling light. Really clear on the playback of the video but made no attempt to avoid. It caused the drone to hit the floor and then automatically fly vertically up at quite a speed! Also it attempted to auto land over water at 20% battery. I upgraded from a Mini 2 so was excited for this new drone, but I’m nervous now more than excited !
