This was a tough one. We've never in all these years, have ever left a piece of gear somewhere. To get it back was extraordinary. Faith in humanity somewhat restored. Despite that and other setbacks we still had a good time. Isn't that all that really matters. The Mini 4 is nice! Fun little flyer.
Ken, I’ve been subscribed to your channel for quite some time, and I can’t believe you don’t have 500k subscribers yet. That’s an injustice! Love your content and I may just buy my first DJI drone after this video.
GREAT video and glad I found it. Really enjoyed it and you showed the most night video of any videos I have seen so far. Impressive, especially for its size.
The new Mini 4 Pro is great. And it’s even better when it’s bigger than life, nice effect. And I’m glad you were able to recover your camera, I had a similar situation recently. Great video, and thanks sharing Ken.
Both the Mini 3 series and the 4 are so much quieter than the mini2. 😊 love the miniature review, especially with the edge of the sheet showing 😂 such fun.
One thing you might want to consider or mention is the total time duration of a video when using 4K. In 1080, there seems to be NO time quantity max that I'm aware of!! BUT in 4K, 4:51(time) is a curse and the drone will start recording a separate video!!! Kind of a BUMMER!! Took me forever to figure it out. My son-in-law was a GREAT asset in FINALLY figuring it out!!!!
I picked up a mini se for 2 bills on adorama a while back to try out and see what the drone hype was about....Timing was perfect for me to get an Air 3....I use my Z fold phone to fly with so I have the RC-N2 basic controller....I wanted a sub 250 drone....and now the Mini 4 pro using O4 is a blessing if I can get a drone only version someday soon! Try you some X real glasses if you really want to spice things up without going full VR....it's been a neat upgrade to my personal system...awesome looking new Mini 4.....thanks for the scenic review Mr. Ken !
With the recent purchase of the Air 3 along with the Fly More combo package, I have no need for a second RC, and especially not one that requires me to use my phone. However, it seems that DJI only packages the Mini 4 Pro with the basic RC and not as a stand alone drone. I have already downloaded and installed the latest RC2 software update which (as I understand it) is capable of operating the Mini 4 Pro but for whatever reason, DJI seems to think I should pay for another RC if I want to add the Mini 4 to my growing fleet. Not gonna happen.
I'm confused. You flew that drone after sunset, and it appears that you didn't add any additional warning lights on to it... you were just using the drone's built-in warning lights. Per FAA rules, to do a night flight like that, you have to have warning lights on the drone that can be seen at a distance of three miles. So, to do night flights legally, you would have had to add some additional high-power warning lights. Am I missing something, or did you just document a total violation of the FAA rules for flying a drone at night?
I’m confused even more now. No where in the beginning of the video, where the top of the drone is clearly visible, is there a strobe. Or at the end of the video, where the top of the drone is visible, is there any strobe as required. The fact that “Ken” is saying all rules were followed and provides a link to a light that SHOULD be on the drone is leading people to believe the rules were followed when in actuality… they were not. I don’t want to be the guy that knit picks “small” things like this… but don’t lie. The fact that no one called him out other than you is astonishing. It’s people that don’t follow the rules that ruin it for all of us.
2:00...unpaid extras. I've had my Mini 4 Pro all of 4 days. The only other "Mini" drone I owned was the Mini SE. This new drone is killin' it. Easily compares in photo/video quality to my Air 2S & Evo Lite+. Love the night footage. It's one of my favorite modes to shoot. 9:40...WOW! 🤣🤣 Love the out takes!
I'm really impressed by this little drone, seriously considering getting one 🤔. You were lucky getting your GoPro back, reminds me of a similar incident I had when I was visiting my cuz in 2015. We were on a road trip and stopped off on the capital of West Virginia. We parked the car next to a popular covered market and went for a strole for a couple of hours. On our way back I noticed something sitting on the roof of the car, it was my cousins ipad! 😮 Amazed it was still there, it was backing hot but once it cooled down, it was fine. My cuz must've put it there when she was getting out of the car but forgot to put it back. Had it been in London, it would've been long gone.
Are one of you guys a Police Officer? I keep seeing the Police car in your video. GREAT night time city footage. I can already tell the night mode is waaaaaaay better on the Mini 4 Pro.
Yes the 4 has bigger range ie strong signal. That is why the remote doesn't work with the 3. The 4 has a 2g internal drive Ken you could've kept recording
Damm I can not believe the videos you make they have so much improved over the ones you did in the beginning lol. love them not that they were bad when you started as I so enjoyed them then too! Keep up the great vids Wish I could aford to fly them but you scratch my itch to fly them.
first i thought you are trolling us again ken but when i saw you actually shooting lasers out of the propellerwristbandrubberthingy i knew: this guy is legit!
Love the video. Getting “inside” the drone was fun. While you were in there, did you notice the sticker waaaay down inside the battery compartment that says “laser?” What is THAT?
Hi Ken and , WoW the mini v4, I just finished getting my mini flying again. Its been down for a long time. I love that remote the v4 has. I just wish it was the same price as mine of course mine was under $500. Yeah it's a mini v1. I hate it. Every time I try flying past the football field deforestation I get a RTH Also night vision is unavailable. That looks great, but I still wouldn't be Swimming in that pool thank's for the video and review of the mini v4
Does the Mini 4 Pro not have the Imperial option? Cool drone. Any talk about that new controller being compatible yet with older drones or still just Mini 4 and Air 3 only? Thank you guys! Great and funny video!
Gre8 video Ken! Im thinking of getting the mini 4 pro....but....is it that much better then the 3 pro?! The prices on the 3 pro especially used are amazing right meow! The cameras are the same but i can see a difference in video!!!!! Cheers loyal member since 1981
Ken, Does this mean you are retiring the P4 ?, Also have you given up on seeing a P5 ?, The Mini 4 was a surpise release being released so close to the Mini 3. with new Active Track and O4 which was not released in the Air 3 only a couples of months ago. What will be next for The Mini range ?
I miss the GPS flights you use to do. You've got FPV on the brain now. But when you fly the camera drones you do such a great job. You do a great job on your FPV videos too..Just sayin.
Your first flight to the pool 6:38, showed much better video quality and saturation, and at 4K 60. (What drone was that?) The second flight to the pool 7:43, with Mini 4, not as good, and at 4K 30.
How were you able to do uptown shot being close to the airport? I would love to do like you and film uptown Charlotte at night but it doesn’t work when I’m close to a airport.
8:35 I would be interested to know if you would have gotten clear results with 60 FPS and a higher ISO. But well, the result on a raw basis is quite good, and definitely better than with the Mini 2.

Hey gre8 video! You guys Crack me up....if you buy just the mini 4 with controller does it come with the longer-larger battery?! Have a good week!!!
@@dizzydeanfpv45only if you buy the Fly More Combo Plus.
Only in the south does good will happen naturally....
Ken, I’ve been subscribed to your channel for quite some time, and I can’t believe you don’t have 500k subscribers yet. That’s an injustice! Love your content and I may just buy my first DJI drone after this video.
the nightshoot is sooo beautiful
GREAT video and glad I found it. Really enjoyed it and you showed the most night video of any videos I have seen so far. Impressive, especially for its size.
You guys made the review fun. I’m a new fan!
That green screen work! Better than AVATAR! Well done.
🤣🤣🤣
Just found your channel and loved film over mini 4 so... subscribed 👍🏻
Awesome, thank you!
Wow looks great at night 👍
Awesome Edit Ken Heron
It's crazy I didn't hear about the mini 4 yet until a couple days ago going onto DJI's website, here I am watching a video, amazing looking drone
The new Mini 4 Pro is great. And it’s even better when it’s bigger than life, nice effect. And I’m glad you were able to recover your camera, I had a similar situation recently. Great video, and thanks sharing Ken.
Both the Mini 3 series and the 4 are so much quieter than the mini2. 😊 love the miniature review, especially with the edge of the sheet showing 😂 such fun.
That range is impressive
Cool little bird, night flight was awesome.
Thanks 👍
@@KenHeron np
That's impressive!!
Excellent video! Thank you 👍
Amazing night flight between buildings. It seems so smooth and easy to pilot. Landing lights are great. Thanks

Great video as usual. Thank you. ❤
Love the green screen effects. Was thinking of trying this! Great video!!
Really nice night shots with both drones!

What a great video, Ken is a video editing master.
Wow, thanks!

Fantastic! and great night time Views!!
Loved the video guys. U R having way to much fun. Keep it up. Thanks 4 sharing! Cheers !!😎😎😎😎

Hey Jim.
All rules were followed.
Here's what we use:
amzn.to/3PSxaR0
There's a clear view of the drone at the 10:50 point in the video. I'm not seeing any lights that would be capable of being seen three miles away.
I’m confused even more now. No where in the beginning of the video, where the top of the drone is clearly visible, is there a strobe. Or at the end of the video, where the top of the drone is visible, is there any strobe as required.

Lovely nigh time cityscapes👍

Did my first flights today with my Mini 4 pro. So much nicer to grab and go with the RC2 controller. Rock solid connection.
Informative, Enjoyable & Entertaining. 10/10 in all Categrories 😁👍
video is more crisp in mini 4..wow so great drone
good video comparison. i like the flight. also, if you fly in Atlanta Ga there are lots of roof pools. every couple building have one lol
That laser was badass
I'm really impressed by this little drone, seriously considering getting one 🤔.

Man would I would give to fly drones with Ken for a day.. cool dude. I live in middle Tn as well.
You guys have a unique way of doing reviews on this.
You guys must be breaking some law, because you’re having too much fun lol. That video quality on the mini 4 was spectacular.
Why doesn't DJI use the easy to attach props. Those little screws drive me crazy!!
THANK YOU!!!! I was wondering if it was JUST me! And that BS SCREWDRIVER THEY GIVE YOU DOESNT HELP!
You are the best
Always love your tutorial bro..bravo for the 2 of you...drone pilot here also in the Philippines... Watching your utubechanel
Great visuals!
That was a fantastic flight at night. I would never swim in that roof pool but it was very nice to see
Wooow, spectacular 🤝🤝
Another good review Ken.
Wow such a good video! I am impressed!
Thank you so much!
I want one!
Looks like a stable flier...I love the chastity belt. 😂 everyone in my family needs one.
Cool video, cool drone 👍😎
Looks good. I’ve been so afraid of crashing an expensive drone, that I haven’t bought one. If the avoidance works well, this may be the one.
Are one of you guys a Police Officer? I keep seeing the Police car in your video. GREAT night time city footage. I can already tell the night mode is waaaaaaay better on the Mini 4 Pro.

6:05 the green screen from Dollar store 🤣
Great video love it
Thanks!
i Bought it and i like it alot did an Upgrade from the mini 2 and there is a big improvment how the drone Handels
hahahaha! these guys are funny! but I like how natural they do it!
first i thought you are trolling us again ken but when i saw you actually shooting lasers out of the propellerwristbandrubberthingy i knew: this guy is legit!
楽しく素晴らしい動画😊ありがとうございます👍
You guys are funny.
I currently have the Mini 3 Pro but upgrading to the Mini 4 Pro in November.
Trust is good.
Love the video. Getting “inside” the drone was fun.
While you were in there, did you notice the sticker waaaay down inside the battery compartment that says “laser?” What is THAT?
Excellent video. Who has more fun than you guys? 😂
Seems like just yesterday you were doing the demo of the first Mini.
I love my 3 pro, but that 4 pro is pretty cool. And both take the same RC2 ultra cinesticks 😊
4 is bad ass as far as I can tell.
Hi Ken and , WoW the mini v4, I just finished getting my mini flying again. Its been down for a long time. I love that remote the v4 has. I just wish it was the same price as mine of course mine was under $500. Yeah it's a mini v1. I hate it. Every time I try flying past the football field deforestation I get a RTH Also night vision is unavailable. That looks great, but I still wouldn't be
Swimming in that pool thank's for the video and review of the mini v4
Does the Mini 4 Pro not have the Imperial option? Cool drone. Any talk about that new controller being compatible yet with older drones or still just Mini 4 and Air 3 only?
Thank you guys! Great and funny video!
Good morning from Arnhem
Really impressive night time video - did you do anything to make the exposure so clear ?
Gre8 video Ken! Im thinking of getting the mini 4 pro....but....is it that much better then the 3 pro?! The prices on the 3 pro especially used are amazing right meow! The cameras are the same but i can see a difference in video!!!!! Cheers loyal member since 1981
Ken, You put DJI mini 2 pro instead of DJI mini 4 pro in the description
Oh yeah. Thanks I'll fix it!
Ken, Does this mean you are retiring the P4 ?, Also have you given up on seeing a P5 ?, The Mini 4 was a surpise release being released so close to the Mini 3. with new Active Track and O4 which was not released in the Air 3 only a couples of months ago. What will be next for The Mini range ?
Nice 😍👍
Hi Ken, i usually fly Mavic 3 pro but picked up Mini 4 after watching this. Do you remember what settings you used for the city night shot? Thanks
Hey Ken!
Auto settings usually work pretty good, but there is a special night shot mode you'll find in the app as well. Happy flying!
Haha I love these guys
These guys love you too.
2:08 these brave men sacrifice life and limb for SCIENCE.
Gods among men.
Whoever hid your go pro is a serious homie.
Honey! I shrunk the guys!!
Thanks Ken!
I live in suburbia hell and I don't get to see anything this breathing often.
Greatly appreciated 🙏.
Oh noo... UFO😳🥴 behind you at 10:10
The video is very similar to the Mini 2😂😂😂
And by the way,the Mighty name belongs to the Mini 2.
I miss the GPS flights you use to do. You've got FPV on the brain now.
But when you fly the camera drones you do such a great job.
You do a great job on your FPV videos too..Just sayin.
Thanks buddy
Your first flight to the pool 6:38, showed much better video quality and saturation, and at 4K 60. (What drone was that?)
The second flight to the pool 7:43, with Mini 4, not as good, and at 4K 30.
He on to something with the watch what if they make something where you can put a watch on and the done will follow you 😮
Tree Frog ! LOLOLOL.
U Got a LIKE from me and I just Subscribed. Now go fly that drone. Cheers !!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thank you so much! ☺️
@KenHeron Anytime guys. Enjoy!😎😎
I just subscribed!
Surprised you didn't take it for a ride while shrunk, probably would have affected flight times though. Plus you definitely have to watch your legs. 🤪
The last video was 1 million % real
Top❤❤❤❤❤
If the night video was of the Mini 3 pro first,I think it looked better in this video over the Mini 4 pro.
How were you able to do uptown shot being close to the airport? I would love to do like you and film uptown Charlotte at night but it doesn’t work when I’m close to a airport.

Tell me more!
Dji should put on headlights like a car for night flying with this frog like🐸 drone
