Dustin you probably won’t see this, but last time I was watching you I was a freshman in high school, this year I’m graduating. I’ve been interested in drones and cameras and videos since I was about eight years old; it’s been a dream of mine to become a professional videographer since forever. After some pretty big events during high school, I have had a really hard time deciding what I want to do after high school, but after revisiting your channel I’ve decided I still want to be a videographer. Keep up the good work man. You sparked up my dream again.
I have been waiting for this review from you since the mini 4 pro came out no one else compares to your very detailed and comprehensive reviews, thank you!
I have been saving up for this drone now for 5 months, I ve watch this video twice already I'm excited for it hopefully by April I'll be getting it and posting videos with it Thank you for the awesome review
Amazing. New pilot here, but ex radio/tv announcer. Let me start by saying the voice on this video is professional class. Great diction, tone, and friendly delivery. When I taught announcer classes, one of the tips I gave students was to pretend the microphone was a friend of yours and to speak like you are talking with a friend. That is exactly what I hear here. Since I'm new, I have been watching all sorts of videos, literally hundreds, doing my research on what to buy. I'm retired now so I have the time, haha. There are a TON of videos on the tube covering all kinds of drones, locations, tips and tricks, unboxing, reviews, etc. Variable quality; some are OK, but many are...bad (leave it at that). This one is actually so thorough and covers just about every aspect of a drone that you could possibly want. And the demos of the various features are comprehensive and clear with the changes in the screens whilst doing so. But 5-star, props, huzzah, and accolades galore for this double-D person. Well done! Yeah, I can count my subscriptions on one hand, but I did punch that "Subscribe" button. Hope that helps. Cya....
You don’t need to reach in quick to hand land it. Just keep the stick back and it will override the bypass and land on you hand. I do it like that all the time.
Aaaahh I don't have any words on this one but dji have really a good improvement on the obstacle avoidance here, this thing is really doing a good performance
Very pleased to report improved positional accuracy. Not trivial, it allows for the aircraft to nail waypoints accurately, allows precision landing, and adds "Pro" to the Mini. Specs reveal one stepped-up parameter, namely Hovering Accuracy Horizontal Hovering accuracy is now. ±0.1 m (with vision positioning) From Mini 3 Pro's ±0.3 m (with vision positioning) I suspect this is DIRECTLY due to the larger TimeOfFlight sensors on M4P. These are the dark mirror finished ones, that replaced the tiny round inset type on Mini's of the past. It was important enough for DJI to make up the extra weight somehow, and the accuracy when hovering and landing is proof enough for me!
They saved that 1.74 and probably charged 5 dollars more. Over millions sold they made multimillions leaving those out....they're turning greedy which is why I might leave dji autel has gotten incredible. Why do I need a geo fence? My car goes 180 mph they didn't limit it to 70 mph
@@w.e.s. what do you mean they re getting greedy? They re a business, i m sure if you had the opportunity to earn more for the same job or at other s expense, you ll turn it down, you don t need the cash ;))
And DJI doesn’t provide a charging brick and they don’t include an SD card, and they charge over $1400 CDN for the drone i want….thanks for nothing DJI
Still on the fence if I should get this or maybe wait for mini 5? I currently have mini 2se so it’s an upgrade for sure … Jeez I’m half way watching the video and the drone stopping by itself to not hit the tree was pretty impressive when in spotlight mode wow now I’m thinking about getting this drone so far great video
I just placed my order for the Mini 4 Pro Fly More Plus Combo about 1 hour ago! I can’t WAIT for it to arrive! And I SOLD my Mini 3 Pro earlier TODAY to a very nice man in the mall food court!
WRT to the simulated shadow, I find it useful as a way to estimate the landing spot. Say if you are flying at the beach and you want to make sure it is going to land on the pad vs in the sand, that overhead shadow view will help you assess if you are on track to land on the pad or if you need to make some adjustments in the landing. Sometimes it can be hard to judge from the side as to exactly where you will land.
Or, you can just turn on the center-point cross, lol. I would add "point camera down" although M4P aIready does point fown on auto landings. Same exact thing, but this one is a bit more contrast
I started watching your videos back in probably October when I got a Mini 3, and this is why I also have the 4 Pro too! Still love coming back for refreshers that keep me grounded in basic operations, and character. Always flying line of sight but would like trying some half to one mile stuff in an area I can feel safe to recover in case of an unavoidable bird strike. I fly above 300’ to assure I’m clear of obstacles. Thanks again.🇺🇸
Very hyped for the next summer. The Mini 4 Pro is gonna be my first drone then. What a great piece of tech. Those obstacle avoidance sensors worked so great, fantastic!
Great review video Dustin! I have a Mavic Air 2 now, but I really think I will soon buy the Mini 4 Pro in the fly more combo that you have. Looking forward to your range test next.
the digital shadow that you can see close to the ground is so you can precisely manually land the drone on sketchy places, for example a boat deck where the auto landing may not be perfect. (the shadow is where it is going to land)
Just wanted to say your video was by far the best. Most simplified and easy to follow. Not a lot of talking and gibberish, like some of the others do. And not a lot of fast talking, which everyone does which is hard to keep up and makes it impossible to learn. Your video I have to say is probably one of the best I've seen yet so far. I've watched 5 over yours, but yours takes the cake as number one Bi. Big. Thank you for making this so easy. So simple and enjoyable to watch. I'm glad you used an era that was simple to use obstacles. Features and most of all, you even tested all of its limits. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm going to keep watching this video over and over again 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Bravo my friend great job great video👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🤝✊️✊️👍👍👀👁👁👁💯💢💥
Quiet a thorough video of the DJI Mini 4 Pro, Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, you answered numerous questions that I had, thanks again for a very smooth video
Great. I don't know if you have already tested this, but I am specifically interested in knowing whether obstacle avoidance will detect electrical or hightension wires. Roger
Seems like it does with wires a few inches thick but crashes into anything thinner. I just released a tracking test video today. You should check out the results 🍻
What a fantastic detailed review & instructional video on the MP4, I’m so excited to get started on the many projects I have planned for this amazing little drone…..in just over a week I’ve completed two jobs that has paid for the MP4 fly more combo so I am able to keep my MP3 as a back up.
They have a Fly More Plus combo at my local Best Buy store. They have exactly one left in stock. That’s all they have, no other packages , everything else sold out already that was mini 4 pro. I’m very tempted, I can just barely afford it. Normally I would be getting a standard fly more combo rather than the plus with those extended flight time batteries. I’m strictly recreational and always fly in class G airspace, having those heavier batteries though is what’s holding me back. So maybe I will use your link if there is a regular fly more combo offered there.
Shooting from the hip that was one comprehensive video. I've watched many and you creamed it. Subscribed and looking forward to your next. Incidentally the day I found out I wouldn't be able to purchase a Skydio was the same day I learned of the Mini 4 Pro. I do remote adventure and what an advantage the mini 4 pro is for space saving compared to the Maverick Air.🙏
Dustin, GREAT video. Thanks for the detailed info...very useful stuff. My main issue with the MiniPro 4 RC-2 is the offline map feature. Unless you've got your controller tethered to you phone you won't have access to detailed maps unless you download maps using he RC-2's Offline map capability. And who doesn't need maps when they are flying? Here comes the rub...today you can only download small map "snippets" (max is ~3MB map size...and for me that translates to an area of about 3 miles X 2 miles. While you can down multiple map "snippets", if you want to have maps for a reasonable size geographic region (city plus surrounding metro area) you'd have to select, download, (and optionally name) potentially HUNDREDS of map snippets to get that type of map coverage depending on the size of the geographic area. And that's not how I want to spend my time just to make maps available for my flights. This makes the offline maps feature inconvenient if not unusable. DJI support "claims" that this map file size limitation is an Android limitation. But based on my own research the file size limit in Android is actually 4GB under FAT32, which is an order of magnitude larger than the DJI 3MB limitation. If anyone has a different understanding of file size limits I'd like to here it as I'm not buying DJI 's supports answer. It is my understanding that this Offline Map file size limitation is the same on the RC-Pro and RC controllers. And the RC-Pro controller with offline maps has been out for how how many years? I'm hoping that DJI will fix this issue soon.
I didn't have an issue with maps when I did my range test by caching the area at home just zooming around the route but perhaps they are not as "detailed" 🍻
Hmmm... I had not that about that... I currently have a NC1 controller with the Air 2. So your saying that when you use the RC2 that you don't have detailed maps unless you tether it to your phone? So is that what most people do?
Yes! This is the video I was looking for…Going through everything on flight in real time. Bought mine a week ago, I’m gonna have it as soon as I return home next month…it’s gonna be my first…super excited! But I’m still gonna take things really slow. And even if I’m not flying for comercial uses, I’m still getting the license just in case…who knows😅
1:15:16 I just tested this and I can confirm the Air 3 does exactly the same. I flew it into a similar tight space with trees and bushes surrounding it, hit RTH and it spun around and slowly worked its way out back the way it came in and once it cleared all the twigs and branches it started ascending and headed for the home, very impressive.
@@jamesgrantham1743it’s not behind it at all. I have seen both good and a bit bad from both and both share the same shortcomings and strengths. Small branches in the center seems to be their weakness.
They added the home point and augmented reality to the Air 3 also since you did your review it came with a firmware update. I like being able to see the path when returning to the home point also. I have both the air 3 and mini 4 pro. I have just gotten the mini 4 pro and I haven’t gotten to take it for a flight yet. The weather was pretty windy yesterday so I decided to wait rather than risk it. Great review as always
Great review and demo flight. I've been trying to decide whether to get the Mini 3pro or go full out and get the Mini 4 pro. I like the rc2 remote better so I think I will go with the Mini 4 pro. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the test. Did you notice that the screen on the controller was hard to see? It looks dark on the video. Is the brightness adequate for shooting outside in the sun?
Hi Dustin, i've watched your first 2 reviews on the DJI mini 4 Pro. I've been flying my DJI mini 2 for about 2 years and wanted to upgrade to perhaps the mini 4 Pro. Have been studying this DJI drone for about 2 weeks, love all the new features. Your 2 reviews I watched were lengthy, but you took the time to go through all the features and explained them very well and gave good explanations and demonstrations! I have watched many TH-cam videos on the mini 4 Pro and I have to say that I think your videos were the best and most comprehensive. I was very impressed that you took the time to explain everything so well! So well in fact that I ordered a new mini 4 Pro and its going to be delivered tomorrow! I've subscribed to your channel and will watch more of your vids. MANY THANKS and KEEP UP YOUR GREAT VIDEOS!
I was impressed before watching this video. Your video answered all my questions and now I can order with no negative thoughts. Excellent video helped me no end, thanks
Awesome complete DJI Mavic Mini 4 How To Use. What kind of smartwatch are you wearing, thinking it's a Galaxy Watch. My Mavic Mini 4 is arriving today.
Thank you very much for this comprehensive video! You are very good at making content. I think DJI would tip their hat to this video and you. Your courage to push the limits to show us all the possibilities was impressive. You are a good man.🤝
Although longer, it is the most detailed review available on TH-cam. Many thanks. I have to admit that you have the balls to test this way, in great detail, the anti-collision system :D
Great video! I placed an order for a mini pro 4 a couple days ago after an extensive research. Thank you for taking the time and shareing your knowledge and videos.😊😊😊
Another fantastic video. This drone, I feel, did a great job. This just may be the drone I have been waiting for. The final test is your distance test. But I think I'm sold
Fantastic review, I've had the drone for a week and been flying a few times. You are clever in seeing details, I learned many new things from your video, thx
Can't wait for the tracking test I think you will be pleased. Air 3 and Mavic have a blind spot most the Air 3. M4P obstacle avoidance is better because where they put the sensors. Plus you will love the low to ground tracking it's a game changer as far as tracking instead of the drone trying to fly over a tree it can be right behind you almost. I put mine through the test and was amazing. Tip be ready to hit pause because if it loses you it kind of keeps moving towards things as if it thinks you are still moving. Thank you for the video.
Fortunately DJI confirmed Active Track 360 is being tested on Air 3. Might take a while since both cameras track which adds complexity. I agree Near-ground flight is a tracking game changer, keeping the aircraft out of the tree canopy.
These are the videos that people should watch before buying drones because you cover everything, which is brilliant. I've just got the mini 4 Pro, and I love it. Great video as usual my friend, keep them coming 😁👍👌🇬🇧
I’m from the uk too and find this guy’s reviews 100% legit and good! There are no range test like it 👀 I’m still tempted by the air3 over this but this looks amazing and it’s definitely on the short list.
@@jamesgrantham1743This is a huge refinement to Mini 3 Pro - particularly for positional accuracy. It actually takes a .3 meter horizontal accuracy down to .1 meter per specs abd it flys like it. Evan has precision landing which works perfectly - but stick with your Air 3 plans. As soon as I got settled with M4P, and enjoyed Active Track 360, I immediately missed the 70mm/3X camera. Never forget imaging is job 1. Plus DJI confirmed they're testing Active Track 360 for Air 3 - might take a few months since both focal lengths Track on Air 3. It's a tough choice, but If I could only have one? Unless sub-250 grams is a hard requirement and rules your purchase decision, Air 3 unquestionably a superior drone.
Thanks for the in-depth test as always! I was wondering if it makes sense to revisit similar drones for comparison reasons? DJI (and maybe other manufacturers too) seems to do lots of updates to their software suite. Have they added features? Especially regarding the virtual home market you mentioned in this video. "Does the DJI FPV have that after an update", that kind of thing.
Great video, specially for people like me that are going to buy one now. Awesome stuff. I had a thought for you to try for on the spot landing. Turn the gimbal so it's pointed to the ground and use the drones shadow over your landing spot. Of course it will depend on where the sun is in the sky. But it might be closer. Thanks just discovered your channel. Great stuff. Keep up the good work.
Dusrin, congratulations - best video I've been watching so far! Just got my mini 4 but unfortunately all shots are out of focus (using AF) Did you ever suffered from that, too?
got this package last month. Waiting to get my registration as drone operator with the gov done and then i can start flying legally. super excited for it
I really enjoy your film mate, I watched the one where you lost the drone and I felt a bit bad for you, I guess you did push it, great to know as I am keen on getting a drone in the near future for content creation, great tuition videos, very handy to see how to use these weapons.. I will drop a link when I finally take the plunge... cheers 🍻
Really like video very helpful was looking at mini 3 pro but you got me sold on the Mini 4pro was trying to save a few dollars. But not worth it so buying the Mini 4 pro
i wish this had the ability to warn you of aircraft in your flying vicinity like the Air 3 has. I wonder if they could do it in a firmware upgrade or would it have to be a hardware update to the drone.
Thank you! I watched the whole thing because I am going to get this pack next week. Can't wait to fly it!!! Very informative video, appreciate it! P.s. it seems you also love starwars and stormtroopers with your profile, same here. Thanks again!
Dude!.... We live in the same city.. crazy... Id love to meet, Im trying to get a mini 4 now, and would already have it but Ive been paying off my Sondors E-bike... Your the inspiration for me getting a Detect x380 a few years back... I watched your vids from Hawaii.... crazy... Have a great day Dustin, let me take you to lunch @ Ribs..👍🏻👊🏻
Wow, that's cool, sir, I'm a beginner when I see this, I'm really amazed and want to have a drond like you have, hopefully I can buy one like you have, good luck sir, greetings from Indonesia
Don't leave your batteries sitting fully charged on the charger, or left in the mini... you're deteriorating the cells on the lipo battery... store them partially drained outside the charger or flip them around on the charger so the batteries connectors are not connected to the contacts on the charger.
Excellent review 👍. The precision landing 🤌. Good job 👏 - Just earned a new subscriber . My M4P is on its way from Amazon and my M3P is up for sale. Thanks for sharing Lou from Miami
I just got my Mini 4 Pro with RC 2 Controller yesterday, I have 3 Plus Batteries & 3 regular batteries, that I bought for my Mini 3 Pro, & my wifes Mini 3 Regular. I was going to sell my Mini 3 Pro, but I've been hesitant since that is the only drone I have, that is compatible with the Integra goggles and Motion 2 controller. Hopefully DJI will update the Mini 4 Pro, to be compatible with the Integra goggles, the way they did with AIR 3.
Another issue I've seen with the Mini 4 Pro (and now I see you also noted this behavior in your video @44:27) is that when using Waypoints the Obstacle Avoidance (OA) Bypass feature doesn't work. If an obstacle is encountered during a mission the Mini 4 pro will not Bypass the obstacle even though you have OA set to Bypass. It will just brake and suspend the Waypoint mission until you take manual actions...which is NOT ideal. DJI support told me that the "pause" is what it is supposed to do even when you have selected "Bypass" option...sorry but that is NOT how OA Bypass is supposed to work. Hopefully DJI will enhance Waypoint missions so that it will go perform a Bypass rather than suspending the mission. The suspension of the mission could pose a bit of a problem if you have the Waypoint mission setting to "continue the mission on signal loss" and the mission suspends because of an obstacle when you don't have a connection to the drone (e.g., flying a mission that takes you behind and object that causes you to lose signal and while behind the obstacle you encounter a obstacle....say Molokini crater 😉)...at this point you are stuck....you're only hope at this point is that the Mini-Pro will RTH when the battery gets too low. I'd much rather see the Bypass option kick in and have the drone just continue the mission. Don't really see a good reason why DJI has decided to suspend the mission when OA is set to Bypass. The drone knows where the next waypoint is so I see no reason why it couldn't navigate the obstacle to get to the next waypoint. I hope they address this issue in an upcoming firmware release.
If it can manoeuvre when comin to home, the logic is there. It mist be their explicit decision to not do this on waypoints. Probably business-decision eg they add that on bigger drones of 4th gen
I noticed when you switched from video to photo mode you opened the menu to make the switch. Do you know that you can simply push the shutter button for photo or video once and it will switch modes? Great video!

And that's not how I want to spend my time just to make maps available for my flights. This makes the offline maps feature inconvenient if not unusable.
DJI support "claims" that this map file size limitation is an Android limitation. But based on my own research the file size limit in Android is actually 4GB under FAT32, which is an order of magnitude larger than the DJI 3MB limitation. If anyone has a different understanding of file size limits I'd like to here it as I'm not buying DJI 's supports answer.
It is my understanding that this Offline Map file size limitation is the same on the RC-Pro and RC controllers. And the RC-Pro controller with offline maps has been out for how how many years? I'm hoping that DJI will fix this issue soon.
I didn't have an issue with maps when I did my range test by caching the area at home just zooming around the route but perhaps they are not as "detailed" 🍻
Hmmm... I had not that about that... I currently have a NC1 controller with the Air 2. So your saying that when you use the RC2 that you don't have detailed maps unless you tether it to your phone? So is that what most people do?
Yes! This is the video I was looking for…Going through everything on flight in real time. Bought mine a week ago, I’m gonna have it as soon as I return home next month…it’s gonna be my first…super excited! But I’m still gonna take things really slow.
And even if I’m not flying for comercial uses, I’m still getting the license just in case…who knows😅
Hi Dustin-Love your in depth reviews-you cover all details -cant wait for your range test of the Mini 4 Pro-best regards-Mike in Australia.
1:15:16 I just tested this and I can confirm the Air 3 does exactly the same. I flew it into a similar tight space with trees and bushes surrounding it, hit RTH and it spun around and slowly worked its way out back the way it came in and once it cleared all the twigs and branches it started ascending and headed for the home, very impressive.
I so want the air 3 but it seemed so far behind this mini 4 on obstacle avoidance but this is nice to hear 👍
@@jamesgrantham1743 Buy it. You won't be disappointed at all. It's awesome. Be sure to purchase the 100 watt charger though. Doesn't come with one.
I always wondered about this. Had always thought that RTH with trees right above me would be disastrous. Thanks for that great information..
@@jamesgrantham1743it’s not behind it at all. I have seen both good and a bit bad from both and both share the same shortcomings and strengths. Small branches in the center seems to be their weakness.
Awesome stuff Dustin. Can’t wait for the range test. My mini 4 pro arrives tomorrow. 🎉
They added the home point and augmented reality to the Air 3 also since you did your review it came with a firmware update. I like being able to see the path when returning to the home point also. I have both the air 3 and mini 4 pro. I have just gotten the mini 4 pro and I haven’t gotten to take it for a flight yet. The weather was pretty windy yesterday so I decided to wait rather than risk it. Great review as always
Great review and demo flight. I've been trying to decide whether to get the Mini 3pro or go full out and get the Mini 4 pro. I like the rc2 remote better so I think I will go with the Mini 4 pro. Thanks for the video.
This video should be on DJI's manual. You covered the extra features that so many other TH-camrs ignore. What a video of pure class dude.
I really enjoyed watching this video! Cool little thing, cant wait to get my soon 😊
Thanks for the test. Did you notice that the screen on the controller was hard to see? It looks dark on the video. Is the brightness adequate for shooting outside in the sun?
Hi Dustin, i've watched your first 2 reviews on the DJI mini 4 Pro. I've been flying my DJI mini 2 for about 2 years and wanted to upgrade to perhaps the mini 4 Pro. Have been studying this DJI drone for about 2 weeks, love all the new features. Your 2 reviews I watched were lengthy, but you took the time to go through all the features and explained them very well and gave good explanations and demonstrations! I have watched many TH-cam videos on the mini 4 Pro and I have to say that I think your videos were the best and most comprehensive. I was very impressed that you took the time to explain everything so well! So well in fact that I ordered a new mini 4 Pro and its going to be delivered tomorrow! I've subscribed to your channel and will watch more of your vids. MANY THANKS and KEEP UP YOUR GREAT VIDEOS!
I was impressed before watching this video. Your video answered all my questions and now I can order with no negative thoughts. Excellent video helped me no end, thanks
I’m thinking about getting one. Looks great speed and performance.
Awesome complete DJI Mavic Mini 4 How To Use.
What kind of smartwatch are you wearing, thinking it's a Galaxy Watch.
My Mavic Mini 4 is arriving today.
your picture in picture of the controller screen is invaluable. excellent info
Thank you very much for this comprehensive video! You are very good at making content. I think DJI would tip their hat to this video and you. Your courage to push the limits to show us all the possibilities was impressive. You are a good man.🤝
Although longer, it is the most detailed review available on TH-cam. Many thanks. I have to admit that you have the balls to test this way, in great detail, the anti-collision system :D
Thank you very much 🤝 I like your style of making content. You are no nonsense, all business and fun at the same time to the point.
thank you this video it was very very under standing too I will be getting a DJI Mini 4 pro. wow this is so so awesome.
Great video! I placed an order for a mini pro 4 a couple days ago after an extensive research. Thank you for taking the time and shareing your knowledge and videos.😊😊😊
Another fantastic video. This drone, I feel, did a great job. This just may be the drone I have been waiting for.
The final test is your distance test.
But I think I'm sold
Fantastic review, I've had the drone for a week and been flying a few times. You are clever in seeing details, I learned many new things from your video, thx
Hi Dustin, as usual, great review. Would you happen to know if DJI will open up compatibility between the Mini 4 PRO and the Goggles Integra ?
Yes, since it uses Ocusync 4 it will be with updates 🍻
We are happy to see the range test as well Dustin keep doing it it helps a lot to users for bignner pilots to this field
Pretty terrain…where is this? Great video. I learned a lot.
Can't wait for the tracking test I think you will be pleased. Air 3 and Mavic have a blind spot most the Air 3. M4P obstacle avoidance is better because where they put the sensors. Plus you will love the low to ground tracking it's a game changer as far as tracking instead of the drone trying to fly over a tree it can be right behind you almost. I put mine through the test and was amazing. Tip be ready to hit pause because if it loses you it kind of keeps moving towards things as if it thinks you are still moving. Thank you for the video.
Fortunately DJI confirmed Active Track 360 is being tested on Air 3. Might take a while since both cameras track which adds complexity. I agree Near-ground flight is a tracking game changer, keeping the aircraft out of the tree canopy.
I noticed that walk with the air 3. Gets nerve wracking lol
@@BlairAirwhere did they confirm ? That’s good to hear
Crazy RTH over that fence. That was amazing. I figured it couldn’t find its way out of there! Great stuff!
The new Mini 4 Pro is very impressive, probably the best Mini drone ever. Great testing, and thanks for sharing Dustin.
Does obstacle avoidance works on quickshots?
Man i wish i can afford this right now this drone looks awesome!
These are the videos that people should watch before buying drones because you cover everything, which is brilliant. I've just got the mini 4 Pro, and I love it. Great video as usual my friend, keep them coming 😁👍👌🇬🇧
I’m from the uk too and find this guy’s reviews 100% legit and good! There are no range test like it 👀 I’m still tempted by the air3 over this but this looks amazing and it’s definitely on the short list.
@@jamesgrantham1743This is a huge refinement to Mini 3 Pro - particularly for positional accuracy. It actually takes a .3 meter horizontal accuracy down to .1 meter per specs abd it flys like it. Evan has precision landing which works perfectly - but stick with your Air 3 plans. As soon as I got settled with M4P, and enjoyed Active Track 360, I immediately missed the 70mm/3X camera. Never forget imaging is job 1. Plus DJI confirmed they're testing Active Track 360 for Air 3 - might take a few months since both focal lengths Track on Air 3. It's a tough choice, but If I could only have one? Unless sub-250 grams is a hard requirement and rules your purchase decision, Air 3 unquestionably a superior drone.
Finalyyyyyyyy!!!!!
Mine arives tomorow just because you got me into this hobby a couple of years ago!😍😍😍
Thanks for the in-depth test as always! I was wondering if it makes sense to revisit similar drones for comparison reasons? DJI (and maybe other manufacturers too) seems to do lots of updates to their software suite. Have they added features? Especially regarding the virtual home market you mentioned in this video. "Does the DJI FPV have that after an update", that kind of thing.
Excellence Video! Thank you 👍👍
I have been waiting for this, kept checking everyday 😂. Thanks Dustin
Great video, specially for people like me that are going to buy one now. Awesome stuff. I had a thought for you to try for on the spot landing. Turn the gimbal so it's pointed to the ground and use the drones shadow over your landing spot. Of course it will depend on where the sun is in the sky. But it might be closer. Thanks just discovered your channel. Great stuff. Keep up the good work.
The best tutorial I have ever seen. Right now just using cheap drone to learn before I buy DJI at the end of may and go on safari to kenya
Glad to hear you appreciate the detail in my reviews 🍻
I just got one with the fly more plus, Ive gotten 28 and 29 minutes before a low battery warning.
Dusrin, congratulations - best video I've been watching so far!
Just got my mini 4 but unfortunately all shots are out of focus (using AF)
Did you ever suffered from that, too?
Try click the screen where you want to focus. Also make sure you update to latest firmware 🍻
got this package last month. Waiting to get my registration as drone operator with the gov done and then i can start flying legally. super excited for it
I really enjoy your film mate, I watched the one where you lost the drone and I felt a bit bad for you, I guess you did push it, great to know as I am keen on getting a drone in the near future for content creation, great tuition videos, very handy to see how to use these weapons.. I will drop a link when I finally take the plunge... cheers 🍻
You pulled a KRAMER!!! 😅 Awesome video, man. Really love your casual, stream of thought style. Thank you!
Awesome demonstration of all the controls & camera modes
Really like video very helpful was looking at mini 3 pro but you got me sold on the Mini 4pro was trying to save a few dollars. But not worth it so buying the Mini 4 pro
i wish this had the ability to warn you of aircraft in your flying vicinity like the Air 3 has. I wonder if they could do it in a firmware upgrade or would it have to be a hardware update to the drone.
Thank you! I watched the whole thing because I am going to get this pack next week. Can't wait to fly it!!! Very informative video, appreciate it!
P.s. it seems you also love starwars and stormtroopers with your profile, same here. Thanks again!
Very detailed review here. Great job! you earned me as a subscriber.
can't wait for the range test.
You did a good video no matter what DJI brand you fly
Dude!.... We live in the same city.. crazy... Id love to meet, Im trying to get a mini 4 now, and would already have it but Ive been paying off my Sondors E-bike... Your the inspiration for me getting a Detect x380 a few years back... I watched your vids from Hawaii.... crazy...
Have a great day Dustin, let me take you to lunch @ Ribs..👍🏻👊🏻
Can you please make a video on how to put the propellor guard on? Thanks
Thanks for the video, I ordered one of these drones while watching, can’t wait for it to arrive
Wow, that's cool, sir, I'm a beginner when I see this, I'm really amazed and want to have a drond like you have, hopefully I can buy one like you have, good luck sir, greetings from Indonesia
Don't leave your batteries sitting fully charged on the charger, or left in the mini... you're deteriorating the cells on the lipo battery... store them partially drained outside the charger or flip them around on the charger so the batteries connectors are not connected to the contacts on the charger.
Excellent review 👍. The precision landing 🤌. Good job 👏 - Just earned a new subscriber .
My M4P is on its way from Amazon and my M3P is up for sale.
Thanks for sharing
Lou from Miami
Awesome, thank you!
Another beaut video Dustin, Thanks mate, regards from Australia. Convinced me to get one.
I just got my Mini 4 Pro with RC 2 Controller yesterday, I have 3 Plus Batteries & 3 regular batteries, that I bought for my Mini 3 Pro, & my wifes Mini 3 Regular. I was going to sell my Mini 3 Pro, but I've been hesitant since that is the only drone I have, that is compatible with the Integra goggles and Motion 2 controller. Hopefully DJI will update the Mini 4 Pro, to be compatible with the Integra goggles, the way they did with AIR 3.
I enjoyed watching this video. Learned a lot 😅.
Loved It !! Video that I needed to watch!!! ❤
Another issue I've seen with the Mini 4 Pro (and now I see you also noted this behavior in your video @44:27) is that when using Waypoints the Obstacle Avoidance (OA) Bypass feature doesn't work. If an obstacle is encountered during a mission the Mini 4 pro will not Bypass the obstacle even though you have OA set to Bypass. It will just brake and suspend the Waypoint mission until you take manual actions...which is NOT ideal.
DJI support told me that the "pause" is what it is supposed to do even when you have selected "Bypass" option...sorry but that is NOT how OA Bypass is supposed to work. Hopefully DJI will enhance Waypoint missions so that it will go perform a Bypass rather than suspending the mission.
The suspension of the mission could pose a bit of a problem if you have the Waypoint mission setting to "continue the mission on signal loss" and the mission suspends because of an obstacle when you don't have a connection to the drone (e.g., flying a mission that takes you behind and object that causes you to lose signal and while behind the obstacle you encounter a obstacle....say Molokini crater 😉)...at this point you are stuck....you're only hope at this point is that the Mini-Pro will RTH when the battery gets too low. I'd much rather see the Bypass option kick in and have the drone just continue the mission. Don't really see a good reason why DJI has decided to suspend the mission when OA is set to Bypass. The drone knows where the next waypoint is so I see no reason why it couldn't navigate the obstacle to get to the next waypoint. I hope they address this issue in an upcoming firmware release.
Yep an issue I've shown in this review and also mentioned it in the "pros & cons" afterwards. Something they really need to remedy🍻
If it can manoeuvre when comin to home, the logic is there. It mist be their explicit decision to not do this on waypoints. Probably business-decision eg they add that on bigger drones of 4th gen
Great video, and a great little drone!
I noticed when you switched from video to photo mode you opened the menu to make the switch. Do you know that you can simply push the shutter button for photo or video once and it will switch modes?
Great video!
