Hey everyone! 🚁 A big THANK YOU for tuning in and watching. I had a blast testing the DJI Mini 4 Pro's precision landing feature. How about you? Have you tried this feature out for yourself?

Can you do a retest please? But this time, after take-off (hovering at about 1.2 metres) face the camera down and then fly straight up and hold at about 7 meters for a few seconds, put your camera back to normal and continue with the test. I think this could make a big difference, I might be wrong but I am very interested in knowing the results before I proceed to purchase 🧐
Sure, I might do at some point. It does scan the terrain on take-off for the precision landing, but I don't know if it uses the camera to do so. In the manual, it does not say you need to reposition the camera to face the ground on take-off.
The camera has absolutely nothing to do with it’s landing. It’s based on GPS and it’s sensors. You can place tape over the drone camera and try it if you don’t believe me.
I think you took off a bit quick in tests 2 and 3, in the first test you let it hover for longer at about 10m. The icon might go white but giving it a stable image to 'remember' by hovering for a few seconds seems a logical step. Thanks for the video!
Nice video. You did not put the drone on the exact center of the pad for your second test (time 03:22). I use a larger folding pad (3.3 feet) for my launches and my drone always lands on the pad. grass is not good for the props.
When the drone take off it always shift a little, so when it take the base image of the ground, it have already moved a little from the take off possition.
Very gool. To me If I'm coming from Mini 2 or even Mini 3 this is not a deal breaker at all. In fact this is a very welcome improvement over older mini models.
Not related question. Does the larger capacity battery fit into the smaller battery hub That’s included in the fly more pack ? Does it also allow the larger battery to draw power from the other batteries to charge one fully faster ? Thanks. Great job w your videos
Does using the landing pad help the drone to focus its landing area, or is it simply to help you (the user) collect the drone? I'm guessing the drone uses the circle and the H of the landing pad to help calibrate. Awesome technology, thanks for the precision landing tests Simon!!
No, that icon beside the satellite icon is for indicating a saved home point, front/back sensores are on, left/right sensoring is on and up/down sensors are on. There is no indicator for precision landing. And: Manual says you have to go up above 7 meters and dont use anything else than up direction. It easily happens to turn it with left stick, switching off prec landing without notice leading to use gps only, which is the reason for the second and third test not hitting the center. You'll need to be very precise when going up.
I just cant understand where the rising to 9~10 meters part comes in. If you auto/manual launch and are 1~2 meters up the GPS will lock in the same and you'd have less drift induced up and till that point. If I'm wrong I'd welcome being shown in the manual where it states this thing has a down camera or any of the thing many people spew.
Yes, I thought the hover point was too high. Is it not the case that the drone tilts the camera down and takes a reference photo of the location it took off from? Disclaimer: I’m not a drone owner, but about to purchase the mini 4 pro
You're totally mistaken. The DJI Mini 4 Pro DOES have a new Precision Landing system, that scans the terrain on take-off which is more than just GPS based. DJI have advertised it, and it is in the manual lol.
DJI went backwards for a while with precision landing , my older Phantom P4 pro has it as did the first Mavic Pro , why they dropped it for a while even though the drones are now using higher spec chips , strange @@SimonsDrones
