Usually with drone releases such as the DJI Mini 4 Pro, I like to do a follow-up long term review to give my updated thoughts and user experience. The Mini 4 Pro from DJI has been out for about 6 months now and it's amazing the tech and performance that DJI has bundled into such a small drone that weighs under 249 grams. You no longer have to sacrifice performance or features if you need to or want to fly a sub 250 g drone. These are my thoughts on the DJI Mini 4 Pro after 6 months of incredible flights.

Great video as always Shawn! Your photography at the beginning is simply beautiful. The Mini 4 Pro is my first serious drone and ALL of your many videos have been immensely helpful to me. Keep up the SUPERB WORK!

@HKSAR55 2 месяца назад

Thanks for this Shawn. Awesome intro! I just bought the Avata 3 combo a few days ago along with the Mini 4 Pro. Now I can experience FPV with the mini 4 pro too since it has been allowed to be cross compatible with the the new goggles 3 and DJI motion 3. Yay 🙂

@DirtyBird 4 месяца назад

The opening sequence was excellent! Having joiniing the drone world with a Phantom 2 Vision+, and owning 13 total DJI drones, for me the Mini 4 Pro is the cream of the crop. It doesn't have the camera of the of the Mavic 3, nor the wind resistance of the Mavic 3 or Air 3, but it provides the best bang-for-the-buck for most drone owners, in a very compact & portable package, all at an excellent price.

@armyguy91357 4 месяца назад

I too have enjoyed my mini 4 pro due to its size, compacability and new feature during the most recent December 2023 firmware upgrade. Added vision positioning and auto mode for ActiveState 360

Excellent job, so I had to drop a "well done" comment. Stunning footage and nicely edited too. Liked the whole video dude cheers. Would be nice to have scenery like that near me! Not had my Mini 4 long, about 4 weeks and have flown it twice, thanksto the awful weather, weeks of bloody rain! 🤬. Roll on summer! Keep up the good work best wishes too from the UK.

@ronaldwilson9525 4 месяца назад

I went with the Air 3. I chose the Air because I live in the Chicago area and it’s called the Windy City for good reasons. My first drone the Mini 2 has always had problems with our winds here and my new Air 3 is much better handling our weather. But I still use and love my Mini and maybe when the Mini 5 comes out I’ll be needing a new smaller drone. Great job.

@MegaFrankgarcia 4 месяца назад

I just bought a mini pro 4, it's still in the box waiting for the weather to clear. I did alot of compare & contrast research & everyone rates this drone as one of the Best "add default reason" available, so I bought it. It's my first drone, so I also got a HS to sharpen my flying skills first, rather crash & learn with the inexpensive model. Great update!!

Watch mini 4 pro youtube tutorials for a couple of hours and then start training in an open field, it is very hard to fail with this one! Youre going to have tons of fun with the m4 pro! Good luck! :D

Awesome footage at the beginning, the landscape was incredible. Was that from Newfoundland? And great review of the Mini 4 Pro, I agree with everything you said. The only thing that hold it's back is ability to handle gusty wind like the Air 3 and Mavic 3 series of drones. Thanks for sharing.

You added the crashing waves and gull sounds correct? It sounded so real I thought the sound came from the drone. But that’s not possible? Thanks again.👍🏼😎

@acemannw 4 месяца назад

For me, the big thing with the mavic Air 3 is how well it does in the wind. I have had situations where I've launched when the wind is blowing. 22 knots gusting to 27 kind of thing. I would appreciate a smaller size. A lot of times when I'm traveling the smaller the bag the better.

@niv2419 3 месяца назад

can you put a big black cage from DJI mini 2 over mini 4 pro? i’m looking for a full protection and i think that just propeller guards is not enough :/

@Nam3Iess 4 месяца назад

I always wanted a drone, especially the DJI FPV BUT in Austria drone laws are crazy restrictive, so the sub 250g is the least mess to get and fly. I am really tempted to pull the trigger on the Mini 4 Pro.

@pearsy4 3 месяца назад

Hi. Great footage! I ordered a mini 4pro yesterday! 2 questions... did you use an anamorphic lens? And I'm guessing the sound FX of waves and birds were added in post? If not, how did you get that audio ahead of the drone noise?! Thanks in advance

@AirPhotography 3 месяца назад

No anamorphic lens. All I did was crop it when editing to give it that look. And yes, a little bit of sound design to add depth to the video.

@pearsy4 3 месяца назад

@AirPhotography 3 месяца назад

I don’t know if there’s anything that are a must have if anything nd filters can always be useful but not necessary by any means. Other than that some extra batteries are really all you need.

@Crittermoto 4 месяца назад

So question from a guy coming using the very first mini: Do go mini 3 pro fly more combo or spend the extra $500 for the mini 4 pro fly more combo? I use mine for creating my motovlogs and motocamping adventures. The main feature is the active track that I’m interested in.

@vonheise 4 месяца назад

I don't hike anymore, and my Mavic 3 case will fit on my electric bike so I can carry it almost anywhere I can go, however, I probably fly the Mini 4 Pro more if only due to the fact that is is stealthy. I prefer to fly it if people are around and the wind is not too bad...

@timeout...4nva 2 месяца назад

Having just purchased the M4P, it's had 4 updates in 3 weeks. Each time I setup to fly, there is another update, one of which included the P mode issue from the N mode. Reading the DJI forums have given less product and flying confidence with each update DJI puts out. Have completely lost confidence in the integrity and safety of this DJI Mini 4 Pro with RC2 product. Still being in the Amazon return window, the Mini 4 Pro is being returned. I bought the drone to have fun not to get wrapped up in all the DJI update/firmware/software drama. Too much distraction to enjoy flying the experience the drone offers for $1100.

@rcafmaintainer3723 4 месяца назад

Flew my mini 4 pro for the first time today. Interesting thing happened, at one point the controls were not responding, or I move the directional stick and it climbs. My mini 2 never did this. Is there a calibration I need for my RC 2 radio? For reference, it was indoors; does the obstacle avoidance feature have anything to do with this?

@rcafmaintainer3723 4 месяца назад

I turned the obstacle avoidance feature off, that is what was messing with it.

@Matanumi 3 месяца назад

Do not fly it inside. Outdoors open area

I was gonna buy the DJI Mini 4 with the DJI RC 2 Remote, but decided to go with the Mini 3 without Obstacle Avoidence because of budget constraints.

@DungarooTV Месяц назад

My Mini 4 Pro makes this slight creaking sound when I squeeze on the sides of the body shell - is this normal? A lot of people notice it and beleive it's because DJI is packing more tech into the drone while still keeping it light. Have you noticed this?

@UKBUBBLERS 4 месяца назад

Can't wait for the mini 5. I mean, how can they improve on the mini 4 pro without going over 249g 😂 still it is dji We are talking about they always pull something out the bag. Thanks for sharing Sean 😁 👌 👍 🇬🇧

@pierrel799 Месяц назад

hi, i'm also in canada and shopping for the dji mini 4 pro and probably the goggles 3 and motion3. This will be my first drone and I'm sure I'll like it. I wonder what the % risk of getting caught is if I bought the kit with the long-lasting batteries instead of the small ones? I will especially fly far from big cities like in the countryside where I live. Have you ever been arrested or had any problems whatsoever because of your batteries during your flight experiences? THANKS

@nedflanders1559 10 дней назад

@gtiguy1992able 4 месяца назад

To me it more crazy to think that this at its size weighs almost identical to a iPhone 15 pro max , the max with with case is about 270g so even with plus batteries in it’s only 291g

The hardware specs are very similar but that doesn’t matter - both are great on that level. The differences are in the obstacle avoidance and the huge improvement in flight modes. Waypoints flight is a game changer. The Active Shots are improved out of sight. Upgrading is a no-brainer!

@calihoodpage1 4 месяца назад

In my experience the photo quality is worse on the mini 4, especially at night. The compass always needs recalibration too. Also randomly you won’t be able to zoom. None of these issues happened on the mini 3 pro. Upgrading is a rip off

Mini 2 is excellent and flies better then the 3/4 air frame IMO but the 3/4 do more with better hardware and the flipping camera framing change is really nice to have. Also its the quietest drone on the market- mini 2 was still pretty loud
