Honest long term review on the DJI Mini 4 Pro - Get my Drone LUTS and Cheat Sheets here - dmprovisuals.com
I am new to Drones and have just got Mini 4Pro. I only have Light Cut at the moment does your Luts work with that or can you recommend a budget editor as I am not a pro just occasional user. Thanks.
Here too, I just got my mini 4 pro. Don't know what to do next lol. I have lightCut also. I'm just an occasional flyer. But i want nice cinematic videos.
@@MonstaRonsta69 No answers?
The only problem I have with your review is the constant comparisons of the bigger drones, obviously everyone knows those would be better for some things. The people buying the mini series are trying to stay under the weight that would require certifications and trainings, along with the lower costs. If you're going to compare it, at least compare it with others of the same class.
Yes i fully agree
It's the high end of the small class... And has more to compare to the larger class... Many people getting into the mini 4 are also on the brink of letting go of their reservations about registration and training. And many of the flyers with the larger craft still want a mini to be able to do things the larger craft can't do.
There is nothing to compare it to in the same class.
@@scottyleics there's no other mini drones on the market?
@@Mavrick1509 can you name a few? We would like to know
I just got the mini 4, it is my first drone so I have no comparison to others, but it performed better in strong wind than I expected. I just flew it in a very windy fjord in Norway, both on the mountain and over the water. The weather was pretty shit, it was wet, cold and windy and even though it definitely took a toll on the battery life I got clear footage and the drone flew well.
Is it water resistant?
Norway. Must be nice!
Thanks for this comment I live in Orkney (it's very windy here) and I was a bit worried, I'm seriously considering buying a mini 4. I travel a lot so I need a drone under 250g and I feel a bit better now after reading your comment 😊
@@kamrultalukdar9568 I don't believe it is, but while it's flying the propellers suck all the rain towards them and blow it down and away from all the electronic bits. Just don't be standing around with it while the props aren't spinning
Norge mentioned 🇧🇻
@DMProductions Great review as always, Darren! Thanks for your content. You bring the full gamut of the Mini 4 Pro, the good and the bad. Still getting one, though. Good to know you're looking at 80% good, 20% bad, or really not so bad 👍🏾
Good video explaining the good and bad points but glad to hear you still recommend the Mini4 Pro! I have had mine a few weeks but the weather is against me just now so only been out 3 times with it. Roll on spring & summer. You have a lot of good info in your videos.
Thank you ☺️
This is by far one of the best drone reviews I’ve ever seen. Love the cheat sheet idea. You have earned yourself a like, a sub, and all notifs on my man! Simply awesome!
thank you appreciate that really glad you liked the video
@@DMProductions can you do a video on gyro flow on the avata. I would love to see the difference between using the in house rocksteady vs putting the footage from the avata into gyroflow. Plus don’t think a lot of avata owners out there know how powerful gyroflow is and the difference it can make.
Been in the 20% for a while! Excellent, sane review of the Mini 4P! My first drone was an Air2S, then I got the Mini 3P when it came out, and ended up flying it all the time. I upgraded from the A2S to an Mavic 3 Pro for all the photographic features and cameras I never had, and wow, that was a great move. I had some doubts if I should bump up the Mini 3P to a 4, and this video helped me to clarify and prioritize those upgrades. The Mini 3 still fills a need, the battery life is better, and I'll likely now hang for the Mini 5..whenever.
🤜🤜
Solid video bruv, can hear the knowledge and honesty. Something I look for will leave comment to boost your vid 💪
I appreciate that!
This video is the reason I bought the mini 4 pro over the air. For my specific use case, I had to make a decision between quality and portability. I specifically needed a high quality drone that I could carry in my motorcycle saddlebags. I knew that I could carry the Air if I left other recording equipment or motorcycle gear at home but I’d prefer to have all of my action recording and motorcycle equipment with me if possible. Seeing your review of the camera on this drone WHILE ALSO providing a solution made me feel very confident in my purchase. I can’t wait for it to arrive so I can start learning to fly it and then begin working with it! Thank you so much for your honest review, comparisons, and tips! Definitely subbing to you and recommend you to other action videographers in my area!
Okay here you go 🤜 And you really helped with the ND filter info That was KEY 👏👏
Great video m8, you have good style I like. I like that you don't just say the specs off the box but you actually flew it around to form a real opinion. Great job 👍
Thank you
Thanks for a very honest review! I am an amateur thinking of upgrading from the DJI Mini 2 to the Mini 4 Pro and your video certainly helps to come to a decision. I did get great value from watching your video and as a sign of appreciation I have subscribed!
Awesome thank you !
I've had the Mini4 pro since it went on sale and I love it. I started with the original Mini. Mini4 is amazing.
how much was it on sale for?
I think they mean since its been available to buy. Not a price reduction@@levihaydel7064
@@levihaydel7064I got my mini 4 pro fly moremkit for $1,099 on Amazon with 2 day shipping the other night. Shoild be here this week. I felt it was a really good deal with 3 battery’s and the multi charger. (Upgrading from a version 1 mavic pro
Binge watching your videos on the 4Pro....even subscribed. I really enjoy they way you present the information and your video production quality is great! Thanks a lot!
Thank you this means a lot 🤜🤜
Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience and valued opinions.
I'm upgrading from the mini 3 (non-pro). I use it all the time since I travel. Tennessee, Wisconsin, Germany, and more. I go to hundreds of little farming towns and remote areas for work and do a quick 15 minute capture. It's so cool. The 3 has been wonderful. The 4pro should be a nice upgrade.
Me too from mini pro 3
Love it just ordered your LUTS Keep up the great content bro
Awesome thank you!
Brilliant Darren.
Got your Cheat Sheets.
It's difficult to find any negatives - the ones you identify are pretty insignificant for me - it's a perfect drone for a newbie.
Merry Christmas to you and your family - your advice is superb as always and your videos are really easy too watch, so keep them coming in 2024 please.
Keep being picky though as it helps everyone understand the detail.... :)
Thank you mate hope you and family have the best holiday and Christmas! I’m going to take a few weeks off, regroup and back for 2024 🔥
I literally just got my mini 4 pro combo plus fly more combo and ND filters yesterday! I can't wait to try it out. This is my very 1st drone
Tried it yet? I'm thinking of purchasing it. Did you find any discounts ?
👊😎👍Top quality videos buddy, just taken up drone flying at 61 and your vids have been a massive inspiration and a great help to an old technonumpty 😂
Ah that’s awesome thank you
Great video. Really enjoyed listening. Balanced, intelligent. Nice shots of Tenerife (I think?)!
Brilliant idea the cheat sheet
Great review video too!
Got the mini 4 pro and love it , good video as usual mate 👍
nice one mate thanks
Great video, great explanations, thankyou very much. I just bought a DJI Mini Pro 4 drone today, however I wont be able to fly it until I move out of the city shortly. I will watch more of your videos to fill me in on info! thankyou!
Thanks for this very honest and informative review. I will now take a look at your LUTS and cheat sheets.
Thank you ☺️
Very well objective, framed, and articulated video to solidify my decision in purchasing one!!! Thanx!!!
👍😃🍻
Awesome thank you
Thanks Darren for the honest review it is a great little drone
It really is! Thanks for watching
👊🏼 really informative thanks. Think I’ll wait for the 5 pro as have the 3. Really would love optical zoom on these.
Thanks for the objective information, it's helped me a great deal in deciding which drone to get as my first drone.
Nice one glad it helped
Excellent review!! Well explained. Your videos are so slick ! Drone pilot here on east coast Canada I was at DJI today. Trying to figure out what drone I want to replace my phantom 4 pro. Remember that drone. Most excellent IMO.
it’s going to be M3pro for professional work. And MM 4P for getting up quick without worrying about restrictions. I live in class D airspace. I’m licensed to fly but need 24 hrs notice.
Keep up the great work in the new year. We will be watching.
That’s really interesting and I sure remember the phantom what a drone that was! Although not portable 😂 thanks for watching
As always good job 👍 very valuable content for newbie's in drone world . Best regards from Poland
Thank you ☺️
This was great and after looking at this video, we decided to purchase the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Thank-you!
I've just bought the mini 4 pro today. Started flying drone last year and was given a Mavic mini for free by a work colleague, great fun but the connection to the phone is rubbish. I keep having too many problems with lost connection and a beeping noise every time it lands. I have to switch it off and on again just to make it stop. So I've got the Mini Pro 4 coming with the screen RC and can't wait for it to arrive. Your review was great and very helpful. A lot of the features look exciting. I will use many for work to take great progress photos. Thank you for your awesome review. 👊
The mini 2 was my first drone, and I agree it's much more solid than its predecessors. I'm glad I started with the mini 2, because I crashed that thing into almost anything I ever flew by. Crazy thing is, it still works like a champ all these years later.
Best review I’ve ever seen on a drone
Thank you appreciate that
Ooo looking forward to this
Awesome review, thanks a lot mate!! cheers
Glad you liked it!
Great summary! Thanks
Hi,
Just wanted to say how brilliant your vids are ? As a total numpty, bought a drone many years ago from a shopping channel and the bedroom required re-decorating. 🙁
Deffo interested in the 4 pro ? Going to checkout your LUTS & Cheat sheets. Have to say, your honest explanations are a huge boost in comparison to others who just waffle with not much intent. Really pleased to have had the opportunity of finding you. Thanks again.
👌 Just gone out and purchased Mini 4 Pro.
My first Drone 😊
I'm subscribed to your channel.
Awesome content.
Will purchase your cheat sheets for a little Christmas present to myself 😂
Look forward to the next video 👍
Ah nice one hope you have a great Christmas ! I’m taking a break soon too but lots more content next year 👌
@DMProductions Have a good one pal 👍
Excellent video completely agree
I AM SO HAPPY I SENT MINE BACK!
Awesome video, thank you 👊
Subbed and liked the video 👊
Thank you very much 🤜🤜
I watch all your videos and they are a great learning tool and entertaining at times. All the reviewers talk about putting the Mini in their pock or whatever but fail to mention that you have to take the controller, batteries and filers etc. You need some kind of bag to carry all the stuff around. Thumbs up to you for mentioning that you have take all the other gear with you as well. Well done.
Thank you ☺️
Fantastic review..just bought the mini 4 my first drone..testing it out in the Philippines mid Feb..haven't a clue what I'm doing im just looking into ND filters and seeing what I need..watching as many vids as possible but will basically be winging it
What a great job, I agree with you on the positives as well as the negatives. The feeling of being a less consistent drone, I think it is due to having to lighten the quality of the materials so that it does not exceed 250 grams. But even so, I've had a few knocks while testing and the drone has held up like a champ. Greetings from the Canary Islands, mate.
love the canaries !
Thank you!. You help the beginners like me
Happy to hear that!
I have had mine for 2 months and its awesome
Pick up your freewell filters and your sorted
absolutely !
Brilliant review on the mini 4 pro. I wish they'd provided variable aperture on the mini series
Surely appreciate your great Reviews and Tips! What do you think of the Kastar High Quality Batteries to extend flight time? Thanks.
Excellent as always.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! I'm trying to decide between the mini 3 and 4 currently. Do you think the mini 4 holds up against wind better/worse/the same as the mini 3?
Go for the 4. I got it and the omnidirectional sensor is so nice
Great video YVR👊🏻
🤜🤜
Crashed my mini 3 pro in Seattle, got the mini 4 pro on the way now. Thanks for holding me down with the info this entire time!
Hi darren great video this is a great update was thinking of taking my mini4pro to LA in September staying in santa monica do you have any advice on flying around that area cheers hope u have a great xmas & new year from colin in Edinburgh 👍🙂
🤜🏻 Nailed it. I started with the mini 3 pro, now have the mini 4 pro. No regrets. 2👍🏻👍🏻from 🇨🇦
thank you glad you agree
Great review, I'm having second thoughts about buying one as I have a Air 3 that I have is still an awesome drone. When you add up the cost of all the accessories you need the price is prohibitive especially in Canadian dollars. Thanks for the review.
Solid review thanks
Thanks for watching!
nice review i ever watch.
since my dji mini2 is broke.
I love this video and it encourage me to by another drone like this.
Thank you really glad it helped
I recently upgraded from the Mini 3 Pro and though long and hard choosing between the Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro. Here in Aus / NZ there is not much difference in regulations between flying these 2 drones. I chose the Air 3 and so glad I did. The mini always felt like a bit of a toy. The Air 3 is so stable and I fly with much more confidence now and get a wide variety of shots. The noise level difference is minimal. If you can afford the small increase in cost and not impacted by regulations - it's a no brainer.
I appreciate you pointing out the situation with the non-adjustable exposure and need for ND filters, no other review I've watched has mentioned that and it's critical! The propeller attachments and vulnerability to stronger winds are downsides for sure but not dealbreakers, for me at least. And with the battery life, there is one significant workaround there that you missed; they offer significantly larger batteries for it. Disclaimer there is that those larger batteries put it into a different weight class, which can cause restrictions in certain areas or use cases, but it's a good solution for many of us
very helpful! thank you!
You're welcome!
Excellent long term video DM
thank you
Great job!
Amazing dedication you’ve invested to make it easy for the new dronies. Thanks 🙏 DJI has a crazy future. Would love to see remote transfer on the mini/air line. So if im at home, and wifey is at a near by park and we both have a “rc2” remote, I can fly from home to the park and she can take over with her “rc2” for better footage of the kids while I was still at home ! Zam!!!!!!!
🤜 right on my friend...thanks for this most valuable info👍may God bless you...
🤜
I use an nd filter on my mini 3 pro - usually 8/pl or 16/pl for sunrises..what nd filter would u recommend for sunsets? Or no filter? Love all your videos learning so much 😀😀
I did try a uv filter which seemed ok..16/pl seems to be an all round filter?
For someone who is still on a Mini 2SE, but looking to upgrade this is very useful stuff. Thanks.
nice one that would be a cool upgrade
🤛 great content. thanks!
🤜
This is a massive upgrade for me coming from the original Mavic Mini 😁 chuffed!
Keep making Amazing Content Darran
Thank you ☺️
I’m a new pilot and I’m gonna need this for my real estate business. I’m going to need some of those cheat sheets!🤜🏾
🤜🔥
I’ve just purchased a mini 4 pro after starting out my drone experience with a 3 pro after watching your reviews. I was and am still undecided whether I should have gone for the air 3 instead but the convenience of the smaller drone is definitely a plus factor when travelling.
Keep the reviews coming, they’re a great help for us newbies 👍
Great video!! A lot of Advices. I’ll definitely replace my mavic pro platinum edition. 😊
thank you !
Hey @DMProductions, another great video. I’ve been watching yours and other vids for a year and still yet to make a purchase. Seriously thinking about buying the M4 Pro now. Would you have any interest in filming with a complete novice to show others what’s it like taking the first step into drone filming/photography? I’m in south England.
🤜thanks for your great effort
🤜
Thank you for your honest review!!!
I’ve just recently acquired the mini 4 and still trying to find my confidence, I’m having problems trying to transfer my images from the RC with Memory card in it to my MacBook Pro or even my iPhone 15 pro max maybe you can make a video about this, that would be great.
I upgraded from a mini 2, so it was like all my christmas's came at once! Huge upgrade
Absolutely
Thank you for helping me to make my mind up to buy the mini 4 pro
No problem !
I upgraded from a M2 to M4P I’ve always loved the idea of how small they are to be able to throw them in your bag and you’re away. But I wish I had brought the Air 3 instead. The flight time is terrible on the standard batteries. The standard DJI bag as well seems to be made on a budget where every thread of fabric saved is an issue. Once you get a filter pack in there as well it feels like the bag is going to burst! So you end up taking a bigger bag anyway!
Great features but over all feels like a bit of a let down to the hype
Excellent video Darren I’m going to pick up your 25 cheat sheet moves
Awesome thank you glad you liked the video
Good content!
@DMProductions Gotta say, been debating on buying one for a while as my first drone and get my FAA drone pilot license to add to my resume as an Engineer. Watched a couple dozen reviews, yours was one of the best reviews and basically made me settle on getting it.
Thanks I appreciate that enjoy the new drone got loads of videos on it
This is probably the best overview of a new drone that I have ever viewed. I wish I had the Mini 4 Pro, but there is only so much tech I can buy. I have the Mini 2, Mini 3 Pro, and the Air 3 so I have my bases (Yankees) covered, Darren. Regarding size/weight: The minis are great. Last week I was flying at a Disc Golf Park near me. One of the players greeted me as he passed by and said, “That is a really great toy.” Statements like that are just what I like to hear. In my experience, fear of “Karens” is just not an issue. I fly like I belong where I am, say hello to passersby, and they do the same. I enjoy your videos and wish you well and success in the coming year. Cheers from Wisconsin, U.S.A. 👊
Thank you George ! That’s for the support and loyalty 🤜🤜 also you don’t need a mini 4 pro you have a great set up there so stick with them until something else turns up! The mini 4 pro for you is not needed 😊
@@DMProductions Thank you for these affirmative words. I can’t thank you enough for all I have learned from you since entering the exciting world of drones. You are a great reviewer and teacher.
My Mini 3 Pro may have worried a couple people yesterday...
I sold one mini 3 pro, and might sell the other now that i have the mini 4 pro. I just never think "this is a better situation for the mini 3 pro", the mini 4 pro does everything a little better. It's perfect to throw in a bag when traveling, and I can only really fly one drone at a time.
@@georgekelly1948greetings from Green Bay. I’m here looking for a travel drone option for my vacation in a few weeks. My Mavic 3 pro is for my business but I need a fun drone as well that travels light.
Great review! What software program do you use for your video editing?
thank you, I use Final Cut Pro
From a functional point of view you cant fault it. For photographers, we work with what we got and find the best places to shoot with it and maximise that. I dont see any issues with the shortcomings you mentioned, just things that will give us a different technique and style to drone photography and videography.
Excellent video, and I like the LA hat!!
haha thank you
Nice info thanks
Great review, factual and without bias. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I flew my Mini 2 into a Lake. It was underwater for 30 minutes, pulled it out dried and it works great to this day.
Hi Darren, you may have mentioned this before but does it work with the DJ RC (first generation screen remote)?
Here is one like and a subscribe! The fact that you offer the tip sheets made the difference for me. I’m going to be buying the fly more combo. Do you think you might be able to put a video together about how this drone might be flown in an “FPV” mode? I’m very curious as to whether it would work. I know it isn’t an Avata…but my use case is to stay in the “sub 250 gram” drone world.
Thanks for the video! I think I will buy the Luts for my Mini 4 pro. One thing I have been very impressed with mine, is the Obstacle avoidance 360. It expertly navigates around objects. Even in a forest of trees! Unfortunately, I don't have the ND filters yet. Any advice on transition from dark forest, to bright beach scenes?
Yes obstacle avoidance is very good ! You can try and set the white balance and exposure manually under pro settings but you’ll need to do a couple of test runs to get the right exposure.
Or keep it in auto exposure and white balance as it adjusts pretty well. ND filters really are a great accessory
You have basically sold me on the Air 3 BUT when travelling internationally where that 250g weight limit is crucial the Mini 4 does look awesome
Hi I'm looking to go to Spain In march and have you ever took one to Spain. I have a mini 4 pro. I was wondering do I need to do anything before I took it
My mini 4 is exceptional!! Merry Christmas ❤
Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 hope you both have a great holiday
Did you get the plus batteries?
I'm looking to upgrade from my mavic mini 1 xD You sold me on this and the mavic air 3 pro
Does the controller have the ability to record audio of you as you fly the drone and blend it into the video? Basically narration mode?
I subscribed thanks for your review I have same dji mini 4 pro and I'm quite satisfied
thank you very much !
👊 Nice review! It's on sale in one store this weekend in Sweden (20% off), so I really thinking of give myself an early birthday gift. I have use a Mavic 2 pro occasionally for a couple of years, but it belongs to my workplace and just borrows it for special occasions. It feels better to own one.
