#DJIMini4Pro #drone #minidrone - บันเทิง
Perhaps for some people the Mini 4 Pro would be a better choice. Not for me. I chose the Air 3. I live in the Chicago area which is the Windy City. My Mini 2 my first drone has been great and i still have and fly it. But the wind here has been brutal many days and the Mini 2 struggles greatly. The Air 3 is far better in the wind and the tele lens is a game changer.
I have been going back and forth for a week, just ordered the Mini 4 pro during your review
I'm getting the mini 4 pro. But still keeping my Air2s for times when i need the 5.4k resolution and windy areas.
Nice combo
Thank you for sharing this video!
Great video! I'm hoping my Mini 4 gets delivered today!
Hope you enjoy it!
hows it been so far?
As usually premium content. Appreciate it bro.
Aldryn, thank you for your overviews and insight between the Mini 4 and Air 3🙏.
Appreciate u Steve
Very Good Video! Was hard to decide at first because I didn't have my licence, but for the sake of trying I decided to take the test, and luckily I passed it at the first try. Am going to get the Air 3 now, besides I have the Mini 3 Pro already for backup.
Thank you FlyPath. Excellent video. :)
You're very welcome
Awesome vidéo Aldryn. Thank you
My pleasure!
Love the videos as always! I have a question, I have the original mavic 3 fly more combo. I’ve been debating selling it and getting the air 3, what are your thoughts?
GREAT review!!
Subscribed!!
Much appreciated!
I have the mini 2 and just got the Air 3 and i love it no regrets here 💪
Great video. I kind of want that Mini 4 ❤
Im speechless now because #DJI is continuing to knock it out the⚾ park. Seriously no competion who the hell is Autel never heard of em.
Autel was merely the hired competition. You dont understand China, do you?
@@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770 Clearly don't understand sarcasm 🤦🏾♂️. Breathe my friend.😏
its another Chinese drone company.
Just make it easy and get both of them, LOL. If I could only choose one, it would be the Air 3. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
Good choice!
I love the Mini 4 Pro, but I really love that 70mm camera on the Air 3.
Besides being small, the Mini 4 pro has nothing on the 2 camera, wind resistant Air 3.
@@OldManTomJulioAll facts!! Think imma get both though lol
@@OldManTomJulioit has vertical with a full FOV, not cropped in. That and it’s size/weight and lower price
Yup. Air 3 with the 70mm is a beast.
@@FlytPath just pulled the trigger on the Air 3 last night. Waiting for the Amazon truck to show up today. 🙌🏼
Great video! Looking forward to the reasons to buy the Air 3 over the Mini 4 Pro as well. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
4 reasons for Air 3 over Mini 4 pro
1. Looks
2. Cooling fan
3. Double camera
4. Height
@@chinmayagomango height? what about speed?
@@chinmayagomangoReason 5 - water resistance
Loving my Air 3 so far. Just updated the new AR features. 🎉
Wait what? I haven’t received no dang update lol
I have a quick question about the controller. With the new controller (RC2) is there RTMP as an option for streaming the live drone view?!?! I saw on a DJI forms page that it was but I wanted to verify that RTMP is on the drone before I buy it! Thanks so much!
Great video as usual. Does the AR feature and cruise control work with the RN-C2 remote?
I've been using the RC2 but let me check the N1
thank you@@FlytPath
A small correction. The vertical mode of the Air3 doesn't crop on the 4K, it crops on the 4:3 sensor, so you get a greater field of view than just cropping the 4K 16:9 video.
Make a video about wind resistance for both
First to comment. You are the best in terms of explaining into details in drone comparison ❤️
Agreed! 🤙🏽
Wow, thanks!
great video as always.. any input on the Mini 4 Pro's Autofocus.. I just returned a Mini 3 Pro after 2 weeks having problems with using Autofocus-- lots of blurry pics.. only 'fix' was to use Manual focus set at Infinity.. not what I wanted in a new drone... checking further it seems to be a widespread common problem.. trying to do as much research as I can before I get the Mini 4 Pro .. over the past 3 years have the original Mini and the Mavic Air 2 without any problems
Nothing yet. Just need to make sure u tap to refocus if needed
set it to the infinity / the mountain image in MF. Never miss focus again. That's what I had to do, on my mini 3 pro. never missed focus again.
Number 9 is a huge factor. 👍 I had to get a shot the other week, where avoiding unwanted attention was ideal, the Mini 3 was the one to use, rather than Mavic.
Ya size is the biggest factor for most people. It's almost a no brainer to have one of the minis in your bag at all times.
The size and noise difference is almost zero difference. The Air 3 has a lower pitch and is less intrusive IMO, and the very slightly size difference makes zero difference in someone "seeing" your drone. It's just a mental thing that you and most people have when it comes to drones. It's like filming yourself in public, no one really cares, but you think everyone is watching you.
@@FlytPathwith that being said, is it possible to have say a Mini 4 Pro and an Air 3 both use the same DJI RC 2 remote?
@@XploreAz Yes you can use one remote for both drones, though not flying them both at the same time.
@@spacehopper77 thank you. Yeah, that would definitely be a trip flying two drones at the same time with one remote. Ha ha.
Really nice drones
That camera backpack is a beast and is deep I see!!! Do you mind dropping the link for it?
Link is in the description in this video th-cam.com/video/l9MDOMDbJzA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EenVXMxYL5cZJN_-
My opinion is if you want the extra camera and better wind resistance, and still get very good quality photos and videos get that air 3. The flight exam is an open book it’s nerve racking but over all not bad at all
That AR is so cool!! Wish DJI would discontinue the screw on props tho
Hopefully they add the active track 360 to the air3 and Mavic 3 pro
Has it
I wish I would have seen this video before I bought the A3. Considering neither aircraft has SDK availability at the present time I can see your point.
Thanks for the comparison review. Helpful! Will the Mini 3 Pro charging hub also charge the Mini 4 Pro batteries?
Yes same batteries which is very helpful. But ND filters are diffrent.
Yes
Awesome video bros. The exchange of points between you two were on point real talk. Now we have a real idea on what the deal is between FPV and conventional drones.
Good video Aldryn
Thanks!
I love your videos. Especially this one, because it also made me decide to buy the M4P rather than the Air3.
But please change the timestamps in the future. I know it's for watchtime, but instead of just writing "Reason1", you could describe after that in "( ) " what it's about in 2 words or so.
Incidentally, this would also be better for some people who have a mental illness and often lose the thread more than once a minute.
Just a constructive suggestion for improvement on my part. Otherwise, keep up the good work ;) Let's flyi
Best regards
I hope DJI are using the AR with the waypoint missions, either markets, flags or lines. Something surely.
In active track obstacle avoidance which is better between mini 3 pro vs 4 pro cause i see on youtube that 3 pro its better. Thanks
Are either of these drones RID compliant yet? 🤞🤞
Great review! Which one (Air 3 or Mini 4 Pro) would you recommend for filming boats? I want to take drone footage (video and pictures) of boats for marketing purposes. Thanks!
Air 3 for speed
@@FlytPath thanks for the quick reply!
How much quieter is the Mini 4 Pro than the Aie 3?
Waiting for dji mini 5
I run a mini2 se and mini 3 pro, I want some of that ar fun
Hi, thanks for video. I had Air 2, but I think about Air 3 because is stable in wind more like mini 4 pro. And now, I think on mini 4 pro because is small and has same sensor like air 3, I am little scare from tele camera on Air 3, if it will be good or not. I dont know which one buy.
Stay tuned for todays video
I came on here just after buying the air 3. Ultimately happy with my choice. The battery life, the 2 cameras! Is so clutch! And I weirdly just feels good having a solid pro feeling drone over something more of a toy. Also just getting my license I feel the only reason I’d go for a mini is if I wasn’t licensed. I’d definitely buy it as a backup drone.
I'm down sizing from air 2 to mini 4 pro. Tired of having a bigger drone to lug around i miss my smaller air 1 which was the perfect size. After using my gf's mini 3 pro a few times. I'm super convinced a smaller profile drone is much better in every single way. I travel a lot and a bigger drone doesn't make sense for me when a smaller form factor drone has the same image quality.
@@freshandsaltyjohnnyyup for some people size means a lot. If they can somehow can a 2nd camera on there then for me I probably would have taken it at the cheaper price. That’s gonna be hard tho to keep under 250 grams 😂
Pro 😅😂 when drone became pro? Haha
You could make a video showing how bad the 360 panorama stitching errors are. I know air 3 has bad errors but unsure about mini 4 pro.
Never dissected the 360 panoramics. I haven’t needed to shoot one in a long time.
I’m going to wait for the mini 27.
Not gonna happen, live in the now get the mini 4 pro.
MIN 4 PRO for sure!
Hi..if legally we have no restrictions...and if Air 3 is only 10% more in cost than mini 4 pro...which would you prefer? in Dubai...the basic drones with RC controller..Air 3 is around 850 USD...Mini 4 pro basic is around 770 USD....basic..not the combo
wind test please
How about wind resistant for both?
Same
Are they going to sell just the mini 4 and make it compatible with the mini 3 controller ?
Doubt they will sell it solo. Mini 3 controller prob won’t be compatible with the mini 4 anyways.
I'll take both
Why not purchase both of them? I already have the mini 3 pro and the air 3 I tried to order the mini 4 pro yesterday but unfortunately DJI store app was out of stock. So I paid bills instead. Maybe next paycheck 😂
Are drones getting regulated out of so many areas that they are not worth buying?
Can you do mini 4 pro vs Air 2S? I believe the air 2S is a really popular drone a lots of people have it, so it would be a great comparison and would be great to see if the new mini drone would beat that Air Beast😉
I am using the Air2s and waiting of mini5pro release. My air2s after the mavic2zoom is wonderful for travellenspro and I traveled Afrika and Asia. Air2s have 5K and is streng even in rain and windy coast
nice!... wait your other video says "9 reasons to buy dji air 3 over the dji mini 4."... im confused nowwwwww
if remote would be compatible with mavic 3 pro then i would upgrade but they are not so i dont have a need
@7"12 (ish) you mention the Mini3pro rather than the Mini4pro.
Really only 3 reasons, Size, Weight, True Vertical Video, the rest are software updates that are coming to the Air 3 eventually. They just want to sell some mini 4's first.
And Air 3 has only 1 reason - second camera
@@svoropaev and wind resistance, and flight time, and accent and decent speed.
Lol
Any range test comparison between RC2 and RC-N2?
I've searched across youtube, found nothing.
I don’t plan on doing a range test, but basing on my experiences with the RC2 is wayyyyy better than the RC1. Antennas help a lot.
@@FlytPath Okay.
I'm still confuse which one to choose, Mini 4 pro with RC2 or cheaper RC-N2 version. Yeah back then RC1's range sucks compared to RC-N1, some youtuber range tested it.
But now RC2 equipped with external antennas, I wonder if it has better range compare to RC-N2.
Cheers!
@@Ide2gue rcn2 has no built in screen. You need to use your mobile phone. RC2 has the built in screen.
Will there be an "X" reasons to buy the Air 3 over the Mini 4 Pro video? I have an Air 2, Air 2s, Mini 3 Pro so do I benefit more from a Mini 4 Pro or an Air 3? The extra lens on the Air 3 is a clear bonus that the Mini range can't compete with.
Stay tuned today
Just remember: “sport mode” shits off all those fancy sensors… ask me how I know 🤣
I bought mini 4 pro - but I am wondering if the controller will also work on the air 3?
hahaha... yes it should work
But, what about 120m altitude cap from the take off point for EU users? C0 label made it practically unusable here
Note the Air 3 had a firmware release yesterday that has added the same AR features as the Mini 4. I have had a Mini 2 for a few years, decided to learn to fly without sensors. However, I am now looking to buy either the Mini 4 pro or the Air 3. Tonight I wrote a pros/cons list to try and decide which one is best for my needs. Anyway, living in a windy place I have decided to go with the Air 3 as it is better in high winds, has two cameras, is a faster drone, is not limited to 120m in the EU and has a longer flight time. I will keep my Mini 2 for when I can only fly sub 250g, which is not very often as I tend to fly in the countryside. In the future I may also swap the Mini 2 for a 4 pro but only when the price drops.
How is the air 3 not limited to 120 metres? I thought 120 metres was the max height regardless of drone classification
Well said 🤘
@@supalupallamait is buttt it is not 🤣
@@supalupallamaI think it is 6000m
I love my air 3 man, you will be happy with either or, the better wind resistance is what did it for me, because its windy where i live often and my huddies mini always struggled while my air3 does great in the wind
For u which drone will u choose?
Can anyone confirm that the ActiveTrack 360 has also been added to the Air 3 . DJI told me yes but I don't trust that the answer they gave me is correct.
i just bought the air 3 when it came out, and i just got an update making two of your reasons invalid, I would have assumed you would have anticipated that. the main reason i bought the Air 3 was for its dual camera setup allowing me to get closer shots while minimizing noize its wonderful. but the price is definitely steep for what you get compared to the mini 4.
The air 3 is a beast. Wait for tomrorows video
@@FlytPath "9 reasons to buy the Air 3 over the Mini 4 pro!" :)
@@OldManTomJulio stay tuned
I know that the firmware upgrade added the augmented reality features to the Air 3. What is the second reason please?
@@tbernardi the way i wrote my comment came out very harsh i didn't mean it to come that way, the second reason was the active track 360, i was being a little defensive and trying to justify the $1700 i spent on the the air 3.
Only thing that makes sense now is a “PRO” model on the Air series with a 1” sensor as the main camera and keep the 70mm camera
1 HUGE reason not to:
DJI limits the m4p to 120m from takeoff in EU... screw that
If you go from mini 3 pro to the 4. You can use the same batteries, props but not the filters. I can’t wait to get mine tomorrow. Great video.
From what I have read, the Mini 3 batteries are actually slightly heavier than the Mini 4 Pro batteries, so you will end up over the 250 gr limit.
hi, just wondering if the new LED light underneath the drone is bright enough to do search and rescue as in a 200 foot light up a big area?
Lol, no.
Until you need that X3.
Good analysis. But don’t need those features. …And big property tax bill around the corner.
I hear that
Iinteresting . mini 4 pro is 249g or 250g because the scale showed 250g and that is a problem!!!
DJI continues to hammer their loyal supporters. They release the Air3 a few weeks after the Mavic 3 Pro and now the Mini 4 after the Air 3.
We quickly forget that the Air 3 is downright tiny given that the results look like helicopter footage. The tech is amazing these days
Everybody talks about the features of the mini 4 which we already heard in 3 days hundreds of times…. Nobody says anything about the image quality which is the most important thing….!!! Is the sensor the same as the air 3 or not? If not what is the difference?
Not the same stacked sensor as the air 3, but upgraded from the mini 3 pro. Mentioned in my video.
The Mini 4 Pro can't fly above 120 meters from where you stand in the EU. That means you can't fly up a mountain hill like 250 meters up and still be within 120 meters from the ground / terrain to where you can land your drone. The Mini 3 Pro (as of this time), Air 3 and Mavic 3's doesn't have this limitation in EU and can be flown up to 500 meters. And that alone is a good enough reason to not buy the Mini 4 Pro for now and either go for the Mini 3 Pro or the Air 3, or even with the Mavic 3's if you are serious about flying drones. This is if you are located inside the EU.
If the Mini 3 Pro or Mini 3 gets the same limitation on a firmware release later, then I would go for the Mini 4 Pro at that time. But as things are at this time, I would go for the Mini 3 Pro over the Mini 4 Pro because of that limitation.
Here in Norway, I can fly my 'Mavic 3 Pro' 500 meters up a mountain hill legally as long as i'm within 120m to the nearest ground / terrain I can land my drone at up there. And as long as I have VLOS on it.
Hi, i had the same concern here in Switzerland about this stupid 120m 'over startingpoint rule' (instead 120m over GND).. Therefore i've the following strategy:
Using mainly 4pro with all its great new features. And for projects where i need to jump over those 120m i'll use my 'old' mini3pro.
Maybe this is a solution for you as well.
And btw: i dont make any update for 3pro, so this 500m limit won't be changed
@@takeoff1999 good strategy, you could also add an Air 3 in the future.
@@spacehopper77 tks, but i'm a mini addict coz of its light weight n easy transpotability
Can the Air3 fly above 120 meters in Europe?
I believe so but you will need to check in with some other channels that fly there.
@@FlytPath Thank you!
@@FlytPathYes, similar to the M3P. 500m in the fly app, but allowed only 120m
Love you my crush❤
95% of the so called upgrades on DJI Mini 4 Pro, could have been a rolled out software update for DJI Mini 3 Pro, the Air / Mavic Series and save the planet. For wind resistance, Air/Mavic series over Mini series anytime.
Not sure you could have rolled out new vision cameras, new aux light and new infrared sensors on a software update. Those sensors opened up all the new features like the new active tracks 360.
@@FlytPath Sure you're right and those new additions make the 5%. Omnidirectional sensors are cameras so there's potential for active track 360° for omnidirectional featured drones and active track 270° for tri directional avoidance drones. I'm not bashing Mini 4 Pro, it's good for new buyers. Just pointing out the minimalistic additions for a long awaited new gadget which appears to be like Apple iphone strategy.
can you just buy the drone? already have the controller from my mini 2.
no. not compatible.
7:13 you said mini 3 pro.
Under 250gms only with the light batteries. If you want better flight time you'll need the bigger batteries which takes it over 250gms...
A little misleading there...
35 rated min, realistically 20-25 actual flight minutes is pretty darn good for being under 250G.
@FlytPath agree 100%. Especially when you consider all the OA etc. that the batteries have to support!
Ugh. I wish the air had the new active track.
I don’t see why that won’t come to the air 3 and Mavic 3 line ups update.
Not 4k in vertical on the mini 4. It’s 3k
Air 3 size and sensor is a letdown, air 3 does not at all fit in my camera bag where the Air 2s did. Would have to lose a whole camera lens to fit it.
Size is a big deal when traveling.
I just need one to buy an Air 3. It's a better drone. You've already said it.
i think it's time to sell my Air2s for a new Air 3. 70mm camera is tremendous advantage.
or just wait for air 3S.. 1'' sensor
Mini 4 pro for my stealth Ninja moves😂..
Amazes me the AIR 3 in vertical is only 2.7K rather than 4K
You won’t tell the difference on your phone so shouldn’t matter.. Heck, ppl can’t even tell the difference between 1080p and 4k
@@Jhorne84 I can tell the difference
@@Jhorne84But the field of view is tighter on Air 3 vertical because it’s a crop on 4x3. I care more about that than the resolution
@@PassionPainNDemonsStreetwear Well alright then Mr Eagle eye 👁️
@@ericsturgeon2635 I hear ya.. I actually plan on getting the Mini 4 Pro for Christmas solely for social media content
Great review. So nitt-picking speech error. MInute 7.12-7.13... It's mini 4 pro. Not 3. Hahaha. But all good man
Until you deal with wind...
Coming from the air 1 and air 2. I see absolutely no reason at all to get the air 3. Same camera? Heavier and much more larger drone than previous generations makes this one a hard pass. The mini 4 pro does everything the bigger sibling does at a much smaller form factor. $1100 for a “toy drone” is also a pass DJI will drop the price soon like Xmas soon which will the best time to buy this drone. $1100 is too expensive for a glorified mini 3 non pro
Check out my air 3 over the mini 4 pro video
Too bad it’s not Litchi compatible 😢
Debatable....All 9 reasons are fail if you need a 70mm camera.
Is quieter the Mini 4? Yes....Same things like Air3 on main camera? Yes... But also the stability in wind and the speed is pro Air3, the camera for Air 3 seems to be made better after the failure of Mini 3 Pro that had a fog issue (we still do not know if is fixed in Mini 4)....
6 Reasons to BUY the DJI Air 3 over the DJI Mini 4 Pro
th-cam.com/video/2RLk8EmQPsM/w-d-xo.html
people are confused between two and me who doesn't have money to buy even toy drone😢
The only reason you would buy the mini is if you legal can’t purchase the anything larger. The Air 3 is superior in every way.
