What an amazing little drone! In this first flight with the DJI Mini 4K I flew it down the Boise River and showed you some of the area around Eagle, Idaho. I thought the video quality of the drone was quite good. I'll follow up with many more videos using this great little drone.

They are easy to fly the only time I crashed one was when the drone took off and there was no gps lock on it and started drifting into the trees with the wind but it was a different drone just make sure you hear the voice home point has been updated before you take off and check how many satt you have

The little Mini Ron 4k performed flawlessly, just as I expected it would. And camera quality looked very good, and these small sensors generally perform well given enough light. I suspect the dynamic range is still limited, but maybe it has improved from the Mini 2. Great test flight Marcus, thanks for sharing.

@requiemglassworks9254 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the videos, I've learned a lot! The reason the gravel pits make those ponds, is due to the proximity to the river, and the water table level. As they dig down, they have to use pumps to keep the water from filling the hole up. When they are done digging, they turn the pumps off, and the pond fills to the level of the surrounding water table. In my area, they will stock the ponds with fish, plant some trees, and then turn over the property to the town or state for use as public space.

@IdahoQuadcopter 2 месяца назад

Thank you, and I appreciate the explanation of the gravel pits. Years ago the ones you see here would have been way out on the outskirts of the city. 🙂

On the bottom right of the attitude indicator, press that arrow, and that turns into the gps screen. I like to follow the red line from there to get back home. Obviously, it's extremely accurate, and it works if maps are loaded or not.

Dude I can’t thank you enough for this video. Most videos I watched literally said the only way you can do a 4k shot was in Quickshot mode 😑 I’ll be honest I never ever knew I could click on that writing at the bottom so the fact you showed this was a MASSIVE help. Very good video aswell. Shame the uk has restrictions on the distance which is 500m max I believe, this is because of the VLOS rules.

I'm just learning how to fly my Mini 4k, first day it was in a field and we we lost sight of it, that was when I found the 'find my drone' in the app, it was on the back side of a bush but was found, several crashes later, I'm getting better...all that background said, did some flying over an abandoned barn, the camera is AWESOME, the gimbal is great, it was windy/gusty and the images of the barn was perfect, moving or hovering.

@treynolds94 2 месяца назад

The ponds are for the making of the concrete since different levels of concrete take more or less water to gravel ratio. Also use water for the grinding and cutting of the stone to prevent wear and tear of the cutting blades. Easy to have ponds and collect rain water and filter it then use city water and have to pay for it. Plus the amount of water they would go through city water would have the capacity needed to do what they need.

@GorillamansGarage 2 месяца назад

Seems odd that DJI chose to discontinue the Mini 2.. but now revives it under the guise of a Mini 4K? and people scorned Fimi for their Fimi V1 - V2 & now V3 update?? Odd. Is DJI just shelf clearing? I still love the Mavic Mini & get a kick out of it every time its out.

Hey there. The mini 4k seems like it’s got some promise eh? Someone asked me the other day if the Mini 4k has a special feature the mini 2 has when returning home. With the 2, we are able to yaw and change the height during the automated RTH function. Do you know or can you test to see if the 4k has that or if it’s been stripped away like it has been for the 3 and 4 pro?

@IdahoQuadcopter 2 месяца назад

I need to check that RTH yaw. I suspect it does. I'm sure that DJI took it away on the Mini 3 Pro because of OA.

@Mrdsmith500 2 месяца назад

Nice shots, enjoyed that. So I am not a novice drone pilot. I have, but out of commission currently, a Phantom 3. I just purchased the mini 4k to get back in the air with a small investment. Only flew it once so far. Went well. I did notice that I can't change the settings from metric to imperial. Other videos I watched people were changing the country location. The slider for changing to imperial is grayed out. There is no country location that I can find. I see yours is set to metric, are you stuck with metric as well? Also I had the version from Google play, which I latter found out is not the official version. It is a scam version requiring a subscription. Found out you have to download directly from DJI, which for a big company like DJI, I found that ridiculous. So am I stuck with metric only as far as you know? My phone is an Android Samsung Galaxy A51, if that matters.

@IdahoQuadcopter 2 месяца назад

My advice is to download the correct Fly app from DJI. You can then select imperial or metric.

Great video Marcus, I just got my mini 4k a couple weeks ago… My first drone… I flew it a few times and then tried to use the FPV mode just to add a different dimension to my videos, not flying too close to things but just to sort of simulate flying… But I tried putting it into FPV mode which I thought should lock up the gimble so it would tilt as the drone tilted… It did not, but just kept the horizon flat…So I’m wondering if this feature is supposed to work on this drone… I have asked the question of DJI customer support but have not gotten a response yet… What do you think about this… Thanks again for the great video content!!! John

mine should be delivered on Monday. I called DJI and could not understand the woman on the phone. My question was "what mapping programs is it compatible with and does it drop pins?

We have a very large area to search for Oryx in New Mexico.
