DJI Mini 4 Pro Long Term Review - After 6 Months of Flying
Рет қаралды 50,770
3 ай бұрынUsually 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. I started with an Exo x7 ranger and now my DJI mini 4 pro will be here Tuesday. I’ve really gotten into the hobby so I’m thrilled about this new drone.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Great video. The mini 4 is definitely on by bucket list of tools for my channel. Thank you for taking a little bit of the anxiety away about learning drones for someone who’s never flown one. 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.👍🏼😎

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.

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.

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 2 ай бұрын
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.

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

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.

@air photography I am about to buy a Mini 4 Pro... what would you say are the must have accessories to purchase from the beginning? I know I can add as I go but I also know that somethings like certain protectors etc really should be bought from day 1. An accessories video would be awesome.
@AirPhotography 2 ай бұрын
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.

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?

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...

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?

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!

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
