I had decided after looking for a long time that the only drone I was interested in was the mini 3 pro but mainly due to idleness I had not made the purchase. I also had some slight reservations about the drone especially about obstacle avoidance. The mini 4 pro removes all my hesitation and I will definitely get the mini 4. This review was extremely helpful. Thank you.

Hi Rob, great review, liked and subscribed! thanks so much! Question for you on precision Waypoints. I understand that the Mini4 Pro cannot active track at speed through a challenging forest scenario (fast mountain biking in rugged terrain) yet I am curious to know if by setting precise Waypoints, then flying at speed in Sport Mode on a MTB trail, could this potentially be a viable solution to avoid known obstacles from point A > point B ?

I started with the mini 2. I actually had to learn to fly and fly safe. Now, they're mostly all automatic flying to a huge degree and sensors. Which is awesome. I actually love the features. Makes it easier and more safe. But a part of me thinks beginners should learn the hard way also.

It seems pretty cool. Out of curiosity (if you have used a Mavic 2 Pro), how would the photo image quality of the two compare? I’d imagine the physical advantage of the bigger sensor on the Mavic 2 might be visible, but the 5 years in between them maybe make this difference quite marginal… Appreciate anyone with first hand experience.

I’ll see what’s available on the drone scene in 8 months time and probably upgrade then. Financially, an upgrade now doesn’t make sense for me.

A comprehensive review and a good question you put forward - is the New Pro 4 worth the upgrade? For me as a retired professional videographer the answer is no. DJI continues to rapidly introduce new capabilities and new models and there are plenty of competing demands on our spending and to me the big advance on the 3 was the bigger sensor which still remains in the 4 and for me upgrading my equipment to the Sony 6700 made more sence at this particular time. Your review however was excellent.

Probably not worth it, will wait for the next model probs. They need to sort out the detachable sticks.

Does the obstacle avoidance/tracking stop working around the same low light threshold as M3p? RC2 still can't do 3rd party apps? Also, waypoints are available in M3P, under hyperlapse. There's really no 'safety' reason it can't have waypoints in general like M4P. They just want it to remain a PITA to go in and out of hyperlapse to get to a waypoint and leave it as a selling point for M4P, as far as I can see. Sucks it can't take M3P filters despite having same size camera, especially as they're one of the most expensive accessories under batteries and I have several sets.

@holgor87 10 ай бұрын

Does anyone actually have tried the waypoint system when coming back to the same location? How does it actually find the exact same waipoints again in 3d space? Do I have to take off from the same location and the waypoints are relative to that or does it store it with gps data and camera angle/tilt etc? And if the second thing is the case - is it actually precise enough to transition seamlessly between the shots? Anyone had experience with that? Thanks for the great video! Keep it up!

For example, you compared grass vs rocks for the video function. 5:00 comical that DJI limits us to 120m vertically yet you can fly apparently the thing up to 20km away. The only time I *might consider* flying higher than 120m is if I'm somewhere very remote like in mountain terrain, so in theory the altitude limit isn't personally an issue.

@TheNorwegianDronePilot 10 ай бұрын

Even if both me and you 'RobHK' are from Norway, i'm gonna write this in english so others can understand what i'm saying. The thing about weight is only valid towards what the drone is registered with. So if you put on a battery that makes the Mini 4 Pro weight like 300 gram, you don't have to worry, because it's all about what certification and weight the drone have when the drone was certified. When it comes to the height limit (only in EU now), you could always fly the Mini 4 Pro up to around 120 meters up a hill and find a spot to land the drone, and then take off with the drone again to have a new 'home point' set up there where you can go up an additional 120 meters. Not sure if this is actually working, but if it's working, then it's a workaround to the height limit.

I live in Michigan, here for example drivers are no longer allowed to even touch our phones while driving a $100 fine,but instead people still do it and drive with expired plates/licenses , passenger seatbelts not buckled in etc..and the list goes on for violations,but still everyone does violate it, and there are only a handful of cops to apprehend everyone..imagine on the drone side of things..are there enough authorities to apprehend us if we go above the 250gram limit? Who is going to check and bring a weighing scale? Cops, FAA, annoying Karen’s, annoying passers by?..as long as we fly in a safe manner and not doing crazy stupid stuff we are all good👍so weight doesn’t concern me when I’m flying a mini sub 250 gram drone., I’ve seen post of people complaining using mini 3 battery makes the mini 4 overweight of 2 grams🤦🏻‍♂️ good grief!

Only thing that would have tempted me away from the Mini 3 is the stacked sensor from the Air 3.

@deanbarkley7997 10 ай бұрын

Rob, Is the sensor the same in the Mini 4 Pro the same as the 3 Pro or a stacked sensor as in the Air 3?

@peos500 10 ай бұрын

All the models share the same physical sensor. An OmniVision OV48C (and yes it is a stacked sensor, OmniVision only produces a single 48MP sensor and it has a stacked die design). At launch of the Air 3 all the reviewers were so excited about the new "stacked" sensor. DJI later confirmed though that the Air 3 and Mini 3 Pro share the same sensor. The Air 3 just benefits from better image processing algorithms, same as the new Mini 4 Pro.

@RobHK 10 ай бұрын

The sensor is not stacked, its pixel enhanced like the Action 4. So each pixel has a bigger size allowing more light, information to come through👍 hope this helps Dean.

To my knowlegde it is the same sensor and therefore the Mini 3 Pro also has a stacked sensor. I've seen a KZfaq Video where the creator asked the DJI support and got the official answer from them. I can't remeber the the name or the creator though. If you want to be safe, just ask DJI support. I guess they will confirm this.@@deanbarkley7997

13:39 the active track 360 footage is way to janky for me. I would consider it useless, but maybe fun for memories of a holiday or something. Waypoints is actually the only feature i think is worth while. Even the 360 obstacle avoidance has been criticized. The mini 3 Pro has better forward facing obstacle avoidance, since the cameras are facing straight forward and not angled to the side. Not worth an upgrade for me. Maybe next year

I'm sticking with the Mini 3 Pro it's still an excellent drone, I'm not really bothered about the new features the Mini 4 Pro offers as i never use active tracking & at the height i usually fly within the 120m limit i might add there is nothing to hit, plus both the images & video quality while slightly better to a certain degree it not enough again for me to upgrade. I think next years Mini 5 Pro will focus more on both image & video quality may even see a slightly bigger sensor & a dual aperture lens F1.7/F2.8, if they can keep the weight under 250g that is.

you mentioned that waypoints and cruise won't be available on a firmeware upgrade to Mini 3Pro due to not having sensors but you can fly mastershots and POI shots without any senors already - not much difference in my opinion

@RobHK 10 ай бұрын

Yes correct. Difference is quick/masters has a speed/range limit within a “controlled environment”, cruise control as no limit of speed nor direction, the same with waypoints. So if you fly to 1 spot then 5 others with waypoints you wont know the exact flight path, but you’ll know the points, so in between these points the drone might and i say might, have obstacles to avoid which requires side sensors. But i do agree with you 100%, this is just how it is and how I believe DJI runs the system

@brionrjames 10 ай бұрын

Personally, I have a mini , and a mini 3 Pro, there are no reasons currently that make me want to change, way point would be nice, not a fan of active track, everyone uses that, and having a hard ceiling of 120m would be an issue,especially in mountains, I do not rely on obstacle avoidance, and don't film myself walking, running riding, so nothing in the new mini 4 Pro is screaming at me, except possibly way points, as this could be a bit of fun, and that is all.

The only thing is I've never managed to find a way on my mini 3 pro to easily get the controller out of sight when doing something active. Any tips from anyone on this as I think as much as the new easily changeable flight paths are on the new active track it will always be spoilt if you can see the controller in shot, looks less natural.

I wanted to buy mini4 (already sold all drones) but that 120m 'feature' is put me off, as Im flying the dron primary in the mountains. I wish DJI release mini4plus with plus battary and C1 marking.
