Glad to see DJI has your address now. Keep it coming DJI! You deserve the recognition Dustin as being the best review channel.
I'm here for range test and signal strength
Everyone wants a range test but few know its against the law. Lol. Follow the laws my fellow drone pilot. Don't get us faawk with more laws and regulations cause you losers don't follow the laws.
I have searched the entire Internet, and there is no video on the range test. Can't wait
😂 👍
Here after the range test to say bye bye to the drone 😢
@johnrambo1349 I have seen a video on youtube where someone did a tange test, i want to say it was around 5 miles max before he had to turn back around.
Can't wait for the range test!!!❤
Hey Dustin, I’m still rocking the mini 2 it’s all I need for now, Dustin, you are a ambassador to candy, cane, pens, everywhere!
😂🍻
I just opened mine this Christmas morning im kinda nervous, not gonna lie🤞🏻😅
Great job man. Happy to see ya back in action reviewing all these fun toys! ❤
Fun video ! 😃
Fine review Dustin !
Looking forward to part 2.
Great video super in-depth. You show features that other reviews done! So good on you! Makes me wanna get the 4 pro now!!
I appreciate your videos, Dustin. They are informative and Easy to follow. Thank you much. Follow your Excitement. Namaste
The best tutorial I've seen Dustin 👍👍👍
RIP, my wallet. I love how the mini is getting great upgrades.
Hi Dustin, I love your videos. 9 minutes into this video and I'm sold. I also love that Little knife that you used at the beginning. Where can I get one? I can't wait for the flight test.
It's a tiny knife from Temu..lol. I got a bunch of different ones 🍻
Going to watch this instead of the Dji premier, was waiting for your notification haha
Thanks for the video 🙂got mines yesterday and can't wait to get it up and out in the air !
Thank you great review and tutorial
Awesome review! Planning on upgrading to the Mini 4 Pro from my Mini 3 Pro even though as of yet I haven’t sold my Mini 3 Pro and I can’t WAIT!
We've been waiting for your range test❤️
Looking forward to your full review especially the range test, they always leave me with my heart in my mouth.
Thanks for your video 😊👍
So looking forward to the range test... No one does it like Dustin
Range test? Man, I could never do that, but thanks for the test, and post! I’m almost petrified if I loose my ‘line of sight’…so I’ve repeatedly tested the RTH to my confidence! I laugh sometimes because it’s like it sneaks up on me, suddenly there it’s hovering overhead right before it descends to land! Thanks a bunch!
Hello Dustin,glad you got your hands on one of these,I'm now glad I held out for the mini 4pro instead of getting the mini 3pro,as always good to watch your in depth reviews on new drones an see how the features work or not an or if DJI improved on things,also since this one now has the light on the bottom for night flights an when landing,do you think it'd be possible to do a night video kinda you did s while back in your pool with the rob drone you were reviewing you know the one with the robotic grabber arm,well anyway have a great day,looking forward to your next videos sn I'm glad DJI did get a feature on there to keep the drone from overheating,I e heard sn seem several videos of people doing reviews waiting to long to launch the mini 3 pro sn mini 3 an they over heat,unlike the air 2s an now sir 3s,I do like that DJI installed a fan in the rc2 controller I saw on a review a while back
Cant wait for the range test!
Thanks for the video Dustin, came in really handy today as i received my Mini 4 Pro Drone, the set-up was a doddle to do. upgraded from the Hubsan H501 X4
Hello there, I saw your video this morning I decided to pull the trigger on a 4 pro. I see DJI has a lens cleaning kit now.. Anyway thanks for all the help, keep it up I look forward to watching some more, you've been a blessing. Have a great day
Can't wait for others M4P videos !

Great review. Will buy one to upgrade my DJI Spark and Osmo
Great unboxing Dustin 👌
Did you get the wide lens and filters with the bundle or did they send them as a freebie due to promoting them?
... time for the range test Dustin!!!💥💥💥💥💪💪💪
I can’t wait for the next episode
Mine arrives this week. I already can see I didn’t need the hard shell case but I’ll find a use for it.
Returned my air 3 for this drone. Glad I did, this is a huge upgrade.
in what ways is it an upgrade? it is slower and less flight time
Please Justin 🎉🎉 Make a real deal distance vid 😊. Thats always great
I was waiting for this video from you but was not expecting it to release right away after premiere. Already bought it also with wide lens and nd filters. Watching 🥳
Lucky
Great Video man.
YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IM WAITING FOR 😎😎😎😎😎 RANGE TESTS BABY!!!!
great drone
Great as always dustin. I'll get mine soon. FYI 32.44 you can download offline maps to the controller
They have now updated the mini 4 battery and it IS different and lighter too.
Also the triple charger acts as a power bank to charge the remote if required it doesn’t charge the remote until it’s charged the batteries as that port was not intended to charge the remote off mains power.
What's up dustin what's your most used drone? And what's the battey charge cycle u got on it or the what battey have u used the most on one of your drones
Please do a review of the 4g module for the DJI mini
Isn’t it time for the charger to charge all 3 at the same time (at high speed) ????
Could you try the camera lens if they are the same ?
I just bought this drone with the fly more combo! I didnt get the fly more plus so Ive got the smaller batteries but itll still be rad! Im super excited to have my first flight with it!
Waiting for your review!!!
Can the DJI mic be plugged into the controller? It is not the same as the Mini3pro with screen with the cover and two USB c slots.
@17:00 min or thereabouts.when talking about the charger not charging the RC until batteries are charged. The USB-A output at the bottom of the charger is designed to use the 3 batteries as a powerbank to charge other devices, controller, cell phone. Hence, once the RC begins charging, it is actually discharging the batteries.
Is possible to make it land in a location different then the home point in waypoint flight? Like 20km away? That would be awesome
What will DJI do in relation to releasing a new controller with HDMI output as exists with the RC Pro?
The Mini 4 seems like the ultimate evolution of the mini series. I want to see LTE connectivity, and wish for backwards compatibility with Integra Googles etc.
i have mini 3 and 4 and ocusync 4 has lots more range, is 4 controller compatible with any 3? i dont think so?
Greagt video, really helped. when is the test flight video available?
Now🙂
I cant wait for the range test on this thing. I just know it will be epic🎉🎉Great job Dustin.
Sir, Whether this Dji Mini 4 Pro support Mapping and surveillance features please revert
First, I apologize this question is not related to this video. I would appreciate your feedback on it anyway: I have question since I really need the obstacle avoidness from crashing my last with no obstacle avoidness avoidness. The mini 3 pro which has it. I wasn't able to get it due to availability. The mini 4 not yet released at the time of purchase. Did I make a mistake in buying air 3? Can I still learn it and be successful still at basically a beginner level with drones.
Love your videos and tests. If you were to guess, how long would the DJI Mini Pro with the large batter last if you were in "Hover" mode only?
Guestimating 35 minutes 🍻
I wanna get this one
Thanks Dustin--excellent and timely review. I have already a RC 2 controller. Can I use it and sell the RC 2 that comes with the Mini 4 Pro?
Yes, it's the same controller using Ocusync 4. You can bind it up 🍻
So really just all round obstacle avoidance and and few more fps in 4k ? Will wait to the 5 or even maybe the 6 😎 how far can they really go with the mini series ?
The "Frog" looking is still there.
Frog to the max.
I just had one for my birthday, and this thing is absolutely amazing.
Be aware and don't trust obstacle avoidance too much because I've crashed into the tree on my first flight. However, DJI was super helpful, and after assessing the damage, they sent me a brand new one with a little fee.
Insure your machine with DJI Protect, and they will help you out in five working days.
From now on, I will be a lot more careful while flying, but fair play to DJI for such a flawless and quick response.
I'm just waiting for the weather to improve and we are going to practice some more.
Great machine. Highly recommend.
The obstacle avoidance is good not perfect. Thin branches of trees without leaves, and power lines are big culprits. I would watch out for some fences too. The Mini 4 Pro is perfect. Excellent signal strength, great camera and portable.
@ALTN8NRG Have you ever had bird attacks?
I heard that reflective stickers will scare birds off. My drone looks so pretty with them. Looks like a british Police car. :D
@@arth0044N I’ve been chased by a flock of birds. I didn’t know they were camped out in a few trees. It looked like a swarm coming for my drone. I’ve had single birds chase and dive at my drones. I didn’t know one was chasing me on one flight until I reviewed the video afterwards. I’ll try stickers if they’re effective.
@arth0044N There are adhesive strobe lights available for your drone. They are more effective at keeping birds away. They don't like it.
@ozymandias7940 With this reflective stickers I am doing just fine. No problems so far.
Heyy Dustin, great unboxing video ... much appreciated!
I'm in Canada and very close to buying their DJI mini 4 off of Amazon. Did your kit/package include extra propellers, a wide angle Lens, 3 Filters, 3 Batteries w/charger, Rc2 and the Drone?
Thankyou,
Regards
Wide angle lens and filters were separate 🍻
Good morning .Very interested in to drones .A newbie I'm looking to purchase my first drone. Trying to decide air 3 or mini 4 like I said a newbie
Congrats on your new drone. Ordered mine last night since yesterday was its release date. Recently bought the Mini 3 Pro, but it was defective as the video didn't work and was refunded. So the Mini 4 Pro was sort of my replacement. Would have been pretty upset if the Mini 3 Pro hadn't been defective - lol.
Here are some break downs over batteries. To put this to rest for good from my batteries.
All batteries are the same physical shell, fitment and contacts. below is the voltage break down from my actual batteries of the mini 3 and 4.
Standard mini 4 pro (ships with drone)
max 8.6 Volt DC
normal voltage 7.32 Volt DC
2590mAH
18.96Wh
Standard mini 3 pro (ships with drone)
max 8.5 Volt DC
normal voltage 7.38 Volt DC
2453Mah
18.10Wh
Extended battery mini 3 pro fly more combo kit.
max 8.5 Volt DC
normal voltage 7.38 Volt DC
3850mAH
28.41Wh
17:18 Why not put the controller on its own charger? I just ordered mine today and will get tomorrow.
Hey! I'm actually in the park where you used to fly your drones. (Elementary school yard.) 😅 Very nice view of the valley here! ❤
Dustin does this have the option to get the extended battery plus like on the mini 3 pro? I started to wait and order this today but I decided to order the air 3 instead because knowing how DJI drones have worked in the past they will probably have to release a few firmware updates to fix any bugs or issues like they always do with a new product so I will wait about a month or so before ordering it. My air 3 will be delivered Wednesday I can’t wait to fly it
Yes, it uses the same battery. I went over it in the video. Congrats on the Air 3! 🍻
Is there a diffence between your drone and a european one ? I mean there is something with the power of the frequency
Thanks for video can l ask you ? Pro mini 3 and pro mini 4 we can use same filter they are same thanks
Do you mean filter on the camera? No, the M3 & M4 cameras are different.
Range test video soon???? Cheers 🍻
And the Mini Air 3 is born!
Aloha from Hawaii🤙🏽
Great unboxing as usual my friend👍👏🙏Question: are the Mini 3 Pro ND Filters compatible? Do you know? Thanks for your answer in advance. Greetings from a subscriber from 🇳🇱
Sadly its not compatible as the wide angle lens too
Range test and hover test please
Do you know when this will be available for purchase. It only says reserve now when you try to buy it.
It's a backorder. You can still purchase but there is a line and you'll be in the order queue 🍻
I got the 34 minute batteries through !
Hopefully they release the activetrack360 to air3 soon. Instead of calling it mini4 pro I would call it Air3 mini lol. Basically a slower air3 without the 70mm tele cam
Range test,range test range test!
Charge the controller from a different plug at the same time 🏴☠️🚁
Can you put the ND filter over the wide angel lens?
no you can't do that!
Unboxing is the honeymoon night, the first experience of opening a new hole
Test the difference in performance and battery life between 4 pro battery and 3 pro
I am in Canada. I want to save in outlay. Do you have any advice regarding the technical preference for using the RC2 as opposed to the RC with my cell phone? Other than comfort and convenience would I be at a disadvantage?
Roger
Look. Depends of your budget.
I have this newest one with the screen and antenas, which is top of the range and your phone is in your pocket just giving you WiFi signal.
If I was you, I would get the newest controller, because you have worry free experience for years to come.
All of them are good, to be honest, but this setup is absolutely amazing.
Thank you. Best wishes.
Roger
Come on Dustin, do a range test. No one else will do it.
I just bought a Mini 3 Pro and combo about 2 months ago, used it about 4 times and now they already have a 4 released😢
Feel for ya. Recently bought a Mini 3 Pro but returned it because the video camera didn't work. Was lucky when I heard about the "four" right afterwards. You'd think they would have given us a warning about the new release.
i want that soooo bad
Good afternoon Dustin, I’d like to know if you could tell me, how to get my drones repaired, I have the mini three pro, and the maverick classic three, they both have Gimble damage. Do you know a way, where I could call or send them in for Repair? And maybe a ballpark figure on price? 10:40
Contact DJI service and put in a ticket. All repairs I've done (mini 3 pro) were at no charge or less than $100 🍻
No precision landing?
I am being told when you buy the Mini 4 "plus" only 1 of the 3 batteries you receive is the 45 minute battery, the other 2 are normal 34 minute batteries?
On the box it says 43min x 3 so I would assume that means all 3 give you 45min
If that mini 4 is strong ass the mavic air 2 that i lost it i probably get that one the problem with the minis they dont handle the winds like the big ones but dji always making best drones
That’s what worries me as the wind always seems to be 20+ mph all the time around me.
you need to mention for drone or remote, should do short press and long press again. I was struggling to find out why it wasn't working. finally, I found it in another video!!!! OR you may write in the video title, this is not for beginners!!!
That's the usual method for powering on DJI drones.
Didn't DJI just release the Mini 3 not so long ago?
You get plus version batteries in a combo pack?
In the "plus" combo...yes
One question, will the dji rc pair in dji mini 4? Thanks
I don't think so yet until they possibly update. It's a different Ocusync generation 🍻
i was looking at the fly more but its only 34min and 60 fps
Will I be able to buy the fly more combo plus separately?
Not likely any time soon. Probably will just sell the individual parts 🍻
Do all drones take SD cards because my pioneer I can’t find a place to put an SD card in and yes it’s cheap
If it has a camera, it would have to have an SD card to record footage. Have you read the manual that came with the drone? Googled it even?
Great post. So, if I have two Mini 3 drones, is there a way to have the one controller control both Mini 3s separately, without having to bind them again when I want to fly the other? I ask as I originally got the first one that has the cell phone connected controller. Thanks for the great info.
You'll need to re bind each time as far as I know 🍻
@@DustinDunnill Okay, will suffer through it for now, until perhaps it become possible.
Don’t recall seeing it, but was looking for if you ever found your drone lost from that range test of your Mini 4 Pro? Sorry to bother!
Not found yet but still looking 🍻
