Another awesome video. I think this is a good drone to recommend to my friends who are just getting into the hobby. My question is, do the DJI entry-level drones, such as the Mini 4K, have all of the same automated photo and video features as the mid-level and higher end drones. For example all of the "Quick Shots", "Mastershots" & various pano photo capabilities, etc.

Thank you for the video, Billy. I have some questions. It seems to me that this is the same as the Mini 2, and I was wondering if it is compatible with the Mini 2 batteries. Also, do you know what the bit rate on the camera is? Is it the same as the Mini 2? Additionally, I find it strange that the controller has a slightly different product number. Maybe there is a reason for it; possibly it might be compatible with the standard Mini 3 transmitter. Just a wild guess on my part. Thanks again for the video.

@brucedon1951 Ай бұрын

I have had Autel's for years, but I get disappointed when they don't carry replacement batteries for my older models, so I'm done with them.

Does this drone have a tracker on it? Reason being is I lost my first drone(Eachine EX4) .I was flying it down my street when I lost connection and the drone just flew somewhere and I still haven't got the faintest clue of where it's at. The app for it was really buggy too which didn't help at all with keeping the connection. I kept hitting the return to home but no luck. If it doesn't have a tracker do you think it could be able to fly 100% if I taped a small tracking device on top of the drone

@michaelkosinski5671 Ай бұрын

Hey Billy, Thank you for doing an unboxing and first flight. I can think at least a few improvements to make the Mini 4k an upgrade over the Mini 2 or Mini 2SE. It would need to have things such as improved processing power, O3 transmission minimum and a cheaper price than the Mini 2 but it doesn't have those things. Other than that it apears to be a O2 Mini 2 with a C0 lable. Are there any differences between the Mini 2 and DJI Mini 4k? I wonder if or when but, I wonder if they are going to produce a Mini 4 standard with O4 transmision minus the O/A probably less features. Kinda how they made a Mini 3 Pro into a Mini 3 standard.

@riskybusiness5 Ай бұрын

Strike one of those improvements as it still uses OC2. I think they added C0 label and remote id for better compliance. Strange how its exclusive Amazon only.

@don-xl Ай бұрын

@BillyKyle Even with the Mini 4K, as an upgrade from the Mini 2, the quality is incredible!! Cinematic, smooth shots; crisp, clear visual detail; aerial motion just as smooth and good as the Mini 3/4, Air series, Mavic series and the Inspire. Awesome review, Billy!!

If I already know I'm going to be shooting with a Mavic 3 Pro down the line, why not just start out with that instead of a "learning drone"? Is there an advantage to doing that?

@RARufus Ай бұрын

If you absolutely know you’re going to get a Mavic 3 Pro I would just get the Mavic. You’ll get used to flying it, all of its features, etc. Hard to say when the Mavic 4 is coming out but rumor is Christmas season this year. It’s always a rat race with any rapidly advancing technology though so if it does what you want pull the trigger. Edit: The longer you wait, the more it pays to wait for the next version but I’m sure you know that. I started out with a Mavic Pro 1 and it wasn’t an issue. I still have it as a backup unit.

@kaush23 Ай бұрын

Two key reasons the Mini 2 is better, wifi quick transfer, and DJI released the Mini 2 SDK, so 3rd party app compatibility (like Litchi) give advanced features like follow, points of interests, and waypoints. So, if you're a beginner and want maximum bang for your buck and longevity, get a DJI certified refurb Mini 2 over this. DJI Refurb is as good as new (like Apple).
