Typo at 2.44. Obviously the Mini 4K has a 4K camera!!!

@cyberherbalist 2 месяца назад

Does this drone use the same batteries as the Mini 2? Or at least, batteries that are interchangeable? Asking for a friend. 🤣

@richardb8492 2 месяца назад

The only thing I see here is that DJI just wanted to release a new drone that wasn’t leaked before it was released. Next, Keep an eye out on the fcc pages for the new DJI Air 4K which will be a rebadges Mavic Air 2. 😂

@cyberherbalist 2 месяца назад

@@richardb8492 - I'm happy for them to do this. If the 4K is an upgraded SE that works as well as or better than a Mini 2, I have no problem with it. I'm thinking of buying the 4K just to have a backup to my current Mini 2. I lost my first Mini 2 up a tree where I couldn't get to it (days later it fell out of the tree in a windstorm and got run over by a car). If they do make a rebadged Mavic Air 2, it will doubtless be at a better price, and I'd like one! I just wish there were reasonable alternatives to DJI.

@freeman-1776 2 месяца назад

I have two mini 2 original drones. I bought the first one and have been so impressed with it that I just had to buy a second as a backup drone. I have many larger more advanced drones but there's just something about the original Mini 2 that screams perfection. It has a 4 to 5 km range and can almost fly as far as my Mavic Air 2. It basically has everything I need in a lightweight low profile drone. It's real quiet and when people see me fly it they just think it's a toy and yet it takes great, usable, video. My second mini 2 is stored safely away waiting for me to wear out the first one. But, the first one just keeps going and going and going. To me, the original mini 2 is a micro masterpiece and I plan to fly it for many more years to come. Cheers!

I have the Mini 3 and bought it with the screen controller which I like and what I like about the Mini 2 SE and the Mini 4k is the built quality it is more compact shorter arms and propellers the longer arms on the other Minies just seems alittle to fragile in the joint areas can snap off easier I feel in a accident it would be nice if DJI could add the Mini 4k to the screen controller also all in all you can't beat the price for the Mini 4k bundle Thanks for your video!

@plasticdope 2 месяца назад

Very honest video man. Many people dislike how DJI marketing the 4K as an “innovation” upgraded version of the mini 2 SE while hiding the comparison with mini 2. The truth is, they could be more transparency and say that the 4K is the best combination of those drones, best 4K camera from mini 2, upgrading with mini 2 SE design, adding new functions like RID, and more years of software support under a competitive price. Just that is enough to calm down most people. 😂

@RobinDrones 2 месяца назад

I believe that they were loosing sales on the lower end of the market because the mini 2 se was only 2.7k. Competitors such as Potensic, Fimi ect all have 4k . Its a clever move by dji to get this to such a low price by using all of there existing components. One other difference is the newer RCN1"C" controller, to cut cost they have apparently made it lighter by removing one of the battery's i weighed mine and its around 65g lighter than the RCN1

@IaninLondon 2 месяца назад

Interesting. Cheers for that 👍🏻

@plasticdope 2 месяца назад

I do agree with you. While changing from my original mini 2 to the 2 SE, i immediately recognised some “weight loss” on the controller. Now you confirm what it is :))

For me, this is brilliant. I currently have 2 Phantom 4 and a Mini 2 that is 3 years old and has been repaired after crashes twice. Would I like a Mini 4 Pro? Yes, of course, but since I rarely fly after dark, none of my clients have ever complained about the image/video quality from the Mini 2. The Mini 2 SE was never an alternative because of the video quality, but this is a total no-brainer. I'll buy one of these and won't any longer have to bring a bulky P4 as backup. As always, it's my ability to shoot and edit, or the lack thereof, that is the limitation, not the drone.

@DRONEALD 2 месяца назад

Absoluut waar. Maar mijn mini 2 begaf het voordat deze mini 2 weer released werd, en de downgrade naar de SE was dus geen optie en heb ik de uograde naar de 4 pro gedaan. Ik ben er blij mee hoor, maar als ik geweten had dat deze nieuwe mini uit kwam had ik gewacht en de nieuwe mini 2 gekocht omdat ik veel reserve accu's en ND filters erbij had gehad.

@treynolds94 2 месяца назад

Of course just bought a mini 2 se last week absolutely loving it amd then they come out with the 4k version for the same price. Stupid me thats okay I will be upgrading in the next year or 2. Plus our sub 250g drones have very little restrictions here in Canada then in the US. Such as going to 500m in a restricted geofence circle or more in a non restricted area about an hour north of me no geofence. And can fly closer then 30m horizontal from a crowd of people. I do have a small airport restriction circle around 5kms south of me but I dont go that way since there is nothing there.

3:43 There is one more difference that you missed: It's visible in the video - the original Mini 2 had a quick transfer button at the rear. You could hold it to establish a Wifi connection to your drone and copy the videos and photos to your phone without having to take out the SD card. The transfer speed wasn't THAT quick, so it's not too bad to lose that feature. One other difference I've heard about (so not 100% sure on that): Because of drone regulations in the EU, the new Mini 4k will refuse to fly higher than 120m above the height of your home point. So if you plan to fly up the side of a hill or mountain and you start from base in the valley below, that's going to be bad - even when you're careful and stay within 120m to the ground below the drone, it won't work. The older Mini 2 will only warn you about reaching the max height (if you configured it like that), but won't stop flying higher.

how i understood was the mini 2 se had the same sensor as the mini 2 (i.e 4k) just disabled the 4k part. so the hw was the same

@billsmith5166 2 месяца назад

Are you sure the 2 SE and the 4K don't have the same camera with different software?

@lifts586 2 месяца назад

The way I see it DJI's sub $300 drones are marketed against budget drones. It's smart on their part. Does anyone want to risk it with a FIMI, Holy Stone, or Hubsan? Why bother when you can get a cheap DJI.

The big change was RID and was necessary to continue producing mini 2s

@Amocat1 2 месяца назад

So the Mini 4K has RID built in? I installed DroneHacks on my Mini 2 because I live in a NFZ and didn’t want it auto landing if I flew over the zones edge. I guess the bonus of the 4K is having the batteries and other accessories still being produced.

@bobwhitewo3b 2 месяца назад

Manufacturers were required to comply as of Sept. 16, 2022, meaning that all new drones sold should have Remote ID technology.

@IaninLondon 2 месяца назад

Only for models over 250gms, and whilst the 3 & 4 can have the Plus Battery which would take them over, the Mini 1 and 2 cannot, so I don't believe the little 4K has RID. It wasn't in the specs and there's no requirement.

@@IaninLondon I just pulled this off of DJI forum: Overview Date: 2024.04.29 Aircraft Firmware: v01.07.0400 DJI RC-N1C Remote Controller Firmware: v01.00.0100 DJI Fly App iOS: v1.13.1 DJI Fly App Android: v1.13.1 What’s New Added support for Remote ID requirements of some countries and regions. Fixed some known issues. Notes: If update fails, restart aircraft, remote controller, and DJI Fly or DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series), and retry. I asked replied to this on the forum asking if the Mini 4k was RID compliant in the USA and am still waiting for a response. I will post back here with whatever they reply.

@bobwhitewo3b 2 месяца назад

I got a reply back from DJI on their forum about if the USA Mini 4K has RID. “Hello, BobWinNV. Thank you for reaching out. This drone is not provided with the RID function. To fly with compliance, you can fly within FRIAs or acquire a third-party RID module on the FAA DOC audit list and then retrofit it to your drone.” I was wrong to assume that it has USA RID. So my question now is whether all the USA based RU-vid reviews were flown under FAA part 107 and if so were they RID compliant with a third party RID device?

Regardless, it's a really good price for someone wanting to get into the hobby. Quick question Ian, if you had a Mini 4 Pro would you still get the Air 3, is it worth the upgrade, I video a lot in the countryside. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy my first drone and have two offers to consider: the DJI Mini 3 for 369 EUR or the new DJI Mini 4K for 299 EUR. What are your thoughts? Is it worth spending an extra 70 EUR for the DJI Mini 3? Thanks for your advice!

@WeretheRoberts 2 месяца назад

Would you know if the 4k has remote ID activated if it detects it’s over the 250 grams like the mini 4 pro? I’m guessing it probably doesn’t since there’s no plus type batteries made for it, eh? Just curious. Mini 2 for life! Lol

@IaninLondon 2 месяца назад

Exactly. There was no mention of RID in the specs and you can't get a Plus battery for the mini 1 or 2

When I helped my friend, William, pen the play “Twelfth Night,” I suggested that he have Viola disguise herself as a man and eventually marry Duke Orsino and live happily ever after. It seems, “Seems, madam, I know not seems…,” that DJI has used the Mini 2 disguise ruse to sell the Mini 4K and make its purchasers live “happily ever after.” Cheers from Wisconsin and “The Norton Shakespeare” based on The Oxford Edition.

@@IaninLondon I consider you one of the most articulate voices of the drone community and I am certain that in different circumstances we would have been great friends. In fourth grade I was reading Mary Shelley. I read Shakespeare’s plays before I ever saw one. My love of English Literature is enduring and infinite. Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Coleridge, Shakespeare-on and on have imbued my spirit with dreams and hope. I always thought how wonderful it would be to live in London and summer in The Lake District. Alas, that did not happen, but I was able to share my love of England’s literature with my students for 43 years, and, I think and hope, made their lives better for it. Cheers, my friend.

Still flying my mini2, and using it with 3rd party software such as Dronelink, for doing mapping etc, wonder if this will get added to an SDK, so it can be used with such software, the mini2SE didn't, the mini 3 had a new SDK developed for it SDK 5.0, which rumour has it the Mini4 will be added to later this year. For me if it isn't below 250g and supported by an SDK then its not worth buying
