New Prop guard: Couldn't agree more. Everytime I put that thing on, I feel like I'm crushing the drone 😕I like the velcro suggestion! I will definately try that instead.
I also have the Mini 4 Pro for about 2 weeks and am impressed from its stick coupling. It behaves much more exact to stick inputs than my old Mini 2. Also the video transmission is much more smooth on the RC2 than it was on my Mini 2 with a very good smartphone. I am used flying with video goggles and used Litchi app with cardboard-type goggles for the Mini 2. As DJI does not guarantee to add Mini 4 support to their SDK very soon if ever, I went for the RC2 instead of using a smartphone again. The RC2 supports display port over USB, so I was able to connect an USB-to-HDMI adapter and get the image onto my old white DJI goggles. But then I got aware of the Rokid Max AR Headset RM201 and wow, it works great! It works by just mirroring the RC2 screen 1:1, so you can still operate all menus on the RC2 screen while the goggles are connected. I now am flying as relaxed with these goggles as I did with Mini 2 and Litchi.
I just got into my first DJI drone with the mini 4 pro after 10 years of flying analog fpv. I love the lowlight capabilities and camera quality and I feel more secure taking this miles away than my fully outfitted long range fpv drones
I love the waypoints for construction site monitoring. I can fly the site once and set waypoints where I want to take pictures, and then in the future when I go back I don’t need to do anything besides just flying the mission. With my old drone I used to use Litchi to create missions which works, but it’s just so much quicker to do it while the drone is in the air.
I love the waypoint feature on my M4P. I've created missions during the day and then gone back outside in the pitch black and it has repeated them nearly perfectly. Position in space, exact yaw and it puts the gimbal near exact even though the camera was completely blind. You can even run the missions while the drone is grounded. It will pop a confirmation, and once you confirm it will take off and execute the mission all by itself
It’s a shame about the active track. The rest of the drone looks pretty sweet though. I have a DJI Spark that I’ve had for like 6-7 years. I don’t use it much but mainly because the connection is rubbish and it’s a pain having to connect my phone to the controller via wifi every time. Considering upgrading to the Mini Pro 4 but I just need to make sure I use it so it’s worth it haha.
Waypoint question - can you fly a set of waypoints that are out of range of the RC2 (say you are launching in a closed in forest setting and want it to go abit further away) without it going into RTH mode due to loss of signal... and will it will fly the route then come back in range?
YES, I purchased this drone last week and looking forward to all the new features. I still have my DJI Phantom 4 Pro...(something about the number 4 I guess), lastly, I recommend getting a nice pair of hiking footwear, sandals just wouldn't cut it. Looked like a very long way down coming back with a twisted ankle or something worse. Thanks for the review, well done!
You have a great taste when it's coming to...flip-flops! We love how you wear them while hiking. We love even more at 0:48 that you stretch them while standing at the top of a rock!!!
I have my Mini 4 Pro and Mini 3 Pro as backup. Just in case I trave morel Mini 3 especially for mountains and 120m limit. Other than that Mini 4 Pro all day. Thank you for the video Rob.
They lifted the 120M limit for me on my 4 Pro but the customer support mentioned all mini variants will get a firmware update so they can turn on this limiter without pushing a update
@@Sadlylate Yeah I heard in 2024 in EU all the new 249g will have a C0 label. I live in the US and don't travel much but I'm addicted to drones. Where I live it's pretty flat so I never go over 400 feet (120m) anyways plus not allowed. Can't complain with a couple small restrictions on mini series over some noisy situations that draw attention you like the Mavic 3 series or even the Air 3 series. I guess there's pros and cons to either type of drone. I'm pretty darn happy with the Mini 4 Pro and the features and active track 360 works the way supposed to for me I hope Rob's drone was okay in the video because mine tracks smoothly and cinematic. None of those issues he was speaking of for me.
Way points and side sensors were enough improvement for me to take a loss on my 6 month old Mini 3 Pro for a 4. So far no complaints. Haven’t seen them yet but for the 3 Amazon sells a screen shade that folds down and allows you to leave the sticks on, speeds up setup even more. Highly recommend.
@@NaderHGhanbariit provides shade so you can more easily see the screen when in the sun. Protects the screen when closed and allows the sticks to be left attached.
I ended up doing the same thing except my Mini 3 Pro was only 3 months old. Waypoints and side sensors were enough for me to purchase the upgrade to the Mini 4 Pro.
I've had both good and not so good. It really struggled to track me after the sun went down one day but worked great following me through a tunnel of trees where it was probably darker? It definitely needs some tweaking
Just bought one a little over a month ago. It is my first drone and am having fun learning to use it and learning the legalities/formalities surrounding it. Glad that I bought care refresh because I had to get a replacement about two weeks in. Would encourage anyone purchasing a dji drone to get the coverage, especially if you are a new drone pilot. Thank you for putting this video together! It is extremely helpful and informative!!
Hi Rob, great video. May I ask where you live, the scenery is stunning. One question, using the dji mic 2 via the phone app, once connected can you put your phone in your pocket for the duration of the flight, or will the connection break when the phone screen locks ? Bit inconvenient having to hold the phone while recording. Thanks Darren (Manchester UK)
I'm curious about the waypoint function. Will this survive a battery replacement? For example, I do a route with one battery and I do a RTH to replace it...will the waypoints stay in memory after I replace the battery?
I'm surprised there werent any negative comments about the build quality. I had mine 24 hours and one of the arms broke off. Upon further inspection its a really poor design if you are looking for a durable product. However, all of the features of this drone do make it worth it, so long as you purchase the replacement program
Great video. New Subscriber. New DJI Mini 4 Pro owner. Glad I a not the only one having trouble with the prop guard - hard to believe a company lets this design out. The WavePoints and POI are amazing. Living near ocean and taking drone to mountain area tomorrow. Our area here on an island in the Philippines is very similar to Kihei, Maui with ocean in front and moutains behind in a dry area. If you go to Maui stay on the the dry side (Kihei or Wailea) and can explore the rest of the island from there. Some amazing spots there for you drone footage and skip the big city skyscrapers. After a week or two with family it was always nice to end with a few days in O'ahu - not sure where you stayed on O'ahu stayed at Sheraton Waikiki a few times - an amazing infiniti pool with the orange bean bag chairs. Keep up the great content.
Hey! awesome video. I´ve seen like 15 different reviews of the mini 4 pro before buying it and i really think that yours is the better one. It seems like they improved the tracking. For me it works really well.
Your signature LUTs doesn't have a description for each one. And I don't see where it tells me if it's for Mini 3 Pro D-CineLike, Mini 4 Pro D-Log or what. I may consider buying but I need to know what I'm buying.
I love my M4P. I’ve spent a couple afternoons flying it (my wife and I like to picnic at a park nearby our house) high up and around the local community. The views of the green rolling hills and ocean beyond are spectacular. By the way I tried to find the cheat sheet but missed it. Where is it in the description?
Hi. I’m more in photography. Have a Mini 3 pro and a Mavic 3. Would use the last one exclusively when there is more need for more dynamic range or filming. But turned out that I’m using almost all the time the Mini 3 pro, so easy to grap and use. As a photographer I must say that for the most of the shots I’m using the 48mp mode even for panoramas. When light conditions are harder I’m taking most of the time two shots with 2-3 stops difference and blend them in LR (one exposure for the foreground and one for the sky. Why the 48mp mode: did several tests and found that the resolution is higher than the 12mp pictures. Test is easily done by taking pictures with text in the shot. All this is at the cost of less DR and more noise…sadly. The 48mp mode is also asking for higher shutter speeds. Maybe that’s why some people don’t see the difference between the 12 and 48mp mode. So come to my questions to you think it’s worth upgrading as a photographer, does the pano mode and HDR mode involve 48mp mode as well ? Thank you nice video by the way. Bought your LUT’s which as I understand could use for my Mavic 3 and other devices.
I haven’t been testing much when it comes to photos, i grabbed this and straight to Hawaii so i focused on the features i use when traveling. But i will do more proper photo test and comparison later on for sure 😊
When you mount the prop guard strap, make sure the motor turns free and props are not pinched. I where my winter jacket, instead of a back pack and I just put everything in my pockets, no back pack, not sure what other drones you an do that with.
I'm thinking about taking up drone flying. Your image is reflected in the R2 screen at several places in this video. Also, the brightness of this screen (at 700 nits) seems much less than what I have on my Samsung Galaxy23 Ultra, which is 1,750 nits. Have you compared the brightness and clarity of the R2 screen compared to that of smartphone?
A smartphone is always gonna be brighter and alsways gonna overheat or go into “heat mode” and dim down making it unusable in high temp climate. Rc2 does not dim and have a consistent nit of 700.
@@RobHK Thanks for your reply. Odd that DJI would incorporate smartphones for module screens if they overheat and are essentially worthless. I also find it strange that several Google links state that the RC2 is much brighter than any smartphone. Here is one of many statements, "The DJI Smart Controller provides brightness up to 1000cd/m2, showing clear details even under direct sunlight and making it an optimal tool for outdoor use. For reference, an average smartphone display offers a brightness of approximately 500-705 cd/m2." As I mentioned in my earlier comments, my Galaxy 23 Ultra has a screen that puts out 1,750 nits.
You should pull the trigger on that thought to get the DJI Mini 4 pro. I've never even flown a drone b4 and this is so easy to fly, it's amazing. I would highly recommend it. It isn't cheap, here in New Zealand it's around $1500 for the basic kit, and more like $2000 for the fly more kits but I think it was money well spent, if you can afford it get it. I have no buyer remorse here
I appreciate the honest take. I’m so tired of constant hype channels not pointing out any cons other than the obvious ones. Thanks for always keeping it real Rob.
I was there in August with my Mini 3 Pro. It was very windy, but the Mini 3 did a great job of getting some fine footage. It's easier to go to the US with a
Have u been able to fast charger batteries directly in the drone? i got told to return a 2 day old drone because of that but this new drone still dont charger fast i didnt buy the fly more combo i dont have the hub but my mini 3 charges pretty fast all the time any toughts?
Great video. Thinking of buying one. I live in Canada but planning to spend a few months in Italy and Spain. Is there a problem using this model in Sardinia or Mallorca? Any problem carrying the unit and batteries as carryon onto flights? Thanks.
I agree, the Mini 4 Pro is the best travel drone. I don’t do much tracking, so that feature isn’t very important to me. Great review, thanks for sharing Rob.
Does anyone know if UTM or Lat / Lon shows anywhere on the control module ?….ie…if, in a search and rescue situation, a subject is identified below the drone. Is there a way of knowing where the drone is at that moment, in UTM or Lat / Lon. If anyone knows, the info would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
Hello, beautiful video bravo. I have a question on a subject you did not address in your video about Hawaii it's the wind. I went there in May and several times I couldn't take out my drone because of the wind (anafi parrot) especially on the pill boxes. I'm aiming to go back there soon. Have you been embarrassed by the wind with the Mini 4 pro?
Could the problems you were having with "active tracking" have anything to do with the dark colour of your rucksack, I wonder? The sensors might not be able to pick up dark subjects well (which I discovered when I drove my car backwards into a black post!)
Hi I was wondering did you have any issues with taking away with you . Because I'm from the UK and looking to take mine to Spain in march.so did you have to get any other licence when you went ??
Rob: nice to see the best scenery in the world as the subject! Planning on getting the M4P in a few days, then sell my M3Ps, mainly for the better transmission. Amazing how fast the tech is progressing. Thanks for the share...
I understand how time consuming editing is and you did it with precision. I am just trying to figure out what people really want to see. They just want to see my rabbits😢
Love your videos, especially the Hawaii ones cuz I live on Maui and Oahu. Love seeing familiar places. Curious why you don't use stealth propellers? I love mine.
You mention LUTS at the very beginning, but for us newbies, please explain “LUTS” and when and how they are used. (Are these more for the advanced user who wants to edit their videos on programs like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro?)
Hi Rob, just a thought but the problem with the active track could be caused by bright/strong light confusing the sensors? Maybe it will improve with ND filters or firmware update like you mentioned ? My Mini 4 arrived a couple of days ago and love it. I sold my Mavic 2 Pro after the advice I found from watching your videos leading up to the release of the mini 4. Glad I made the switch as I wasn't going to take a drone on my next travels but now will. Thanks.
Could be, but i had the issue where the sun dont shine as well, so no difference tbh. But waypoints adds up for the poor tracking and is the main reason i got this🙌🙌🙌

I agree, the Mini 4 Pro is the best travel drone. I don’t do much tracking, so that feature isn’t very important to me. Great review, thanks for sharing Rob.
Does anyone know if UTM or Lat / Lon shows anywhere on the control module ?….ie…if, in a search and rescue situation, a subject is identified below the drone. Is there a way of knowing where the drone is at that moment, in UTM or Lat / Lon.
If anyone knows, the info would be greatly appreciated.
Thx.
Hello, beautiful video bravo. I have a question on a subject you did not address in your video about Hawaii it's the wind. I went there in May and several times I couldn't take out my drone because of the wind (anafi parrot) especially on the pill boxes. I'm aiming to go back there soon. Have you been embarrassed by the wind with the Mini 4 pro?
Thanks mate! I have a video coming up shortly which includes this topic especially in details
@@RobHKthanks a lot for your response.
You mentioned a link to the mini 4 pro cheat sheets. I'm only seeing a link for the mini 3 pro cheat sheets. Am I missing something?
Could the problems you were having with "active tracking" have anything to do with the dark colour of your rucksack, I wonder? The sensors might not be able to pick up dark subjects well (which I discovered when I drove my car backwards into a black post!)
I like your t shirt where did you buy it, I’ll be in Oahu next month with my mini 4 pro and Mavic 3 pro
Can´t remember tbh, i´m not a shopper and i kinda hate shopping😅so i just grabbed it from a store i walked by near waikiki
Do you have the free mini 4 pro cheat sheets for all functions?
how is the stability with strong wind on beaches or high areas ?
Good
Hi I was wondering did you have any issues with taking away with you . Because I'm from the UK and looking to take mine to Spain in march.so did you have to get any other licence when you went ??
No, just make sure its registered with the FAA and label your drone
I’m a little confused with my Mini 4 Pro. Where is the HDR setting for photos and video? Doesn’t the Mini 4 always shoot in HDR?
My DJI mavic air has just died and I'm looking to get a new drone. Have you seen any specs on the DJI mini pro 5?
Stunning footage Rob, hope you and the misses had a great time.
Thanks a lot mate! Yes we did enjoy Hawaii🌺
6:08. the guy in the left bottom corner swimming with the wave got crushed against the ocean floor by the wave. I hope he was ok.
Great video. Thanks
Was that night mode footage in the end shot with a lense filter or were rhe videos post edits? It looks r3ally nice
All shots are editied unless anything else is stated in the video👍
Rob: nice to see the best scenery in the world as the subject! Planning on getting the M4P in a few days, then sell my M3Ps, mainly for the better transmission. Amazing how fast the tech is progressing. Thanks for the share...
You didn't say if you are using the standard batteries or extended batteries. You should also say you land the drone at what percentage batt.
Agreed about what percentage at landing.
I was thinking about doing edits in beat with music but now I am thinking it is not necessary after watching it done
I understand how time consuming editing is and you did it with precision. I am just trying to figure out what people really want to see. They just want to see my rabbits😢
Love your videos, especially the Hawaii ones cuz I live on Maui and Oahu. Love seeing familiar places. Curious why you don't use stealth propellers? I love mine.
That is def one of my favorite hikes in Oahu
Does the mini 4 pro have the stacked sensor ?
No, its pixel optimized
I just wondering how about the flight regulation about the battery mate?
Great place to shoot this video! Amazing shots!
Thank you!🙌🙌
I just bought the DJI mini 4 pro fly more combo and it will be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out.
How is it so far? 😅
I really need this in a 1 minute short please
Hi Rob. Are their any issues with taking a drone on a commercial flight?
Nope👍
Thank you. Enjoying your videos.
How good it is at high speed wind ?
Decent, footage is still usable and the drone can handle it, but the gusts are worse tbh
Possibly a stupid question but if the drone weighs 249g on the nose wouldn't a filter take it a few grams higher?
You take off the “filter” which is already on, then replace it with nd. Same weight same dimensions
Change the color of your backpack to a lighter color. It might help the tracking.
Yup, next time he will put on an invisible cloak and will complain. The tech isn't magic, how marketers like to present.
Great Footage 👏🏽 Also Noticed You had Done The Pill💊Box📦 Trail Which Is Amazing ❤
Thanks! Ye, at least 1 time each trip 😎
I don’t like the prop guard either it pain in the butt to put on and it does feel like it’s bending the props
I got a "cracking" sound when I put it back on today....I nearly cried😢
Use a rubber band instead 😅 faster and does the job
Great review, very interesting with all the features. Mini 4 Pro my best for travel
You mention LUTS at the very beginning, but for us newbies, please explain “LUTS” and when and how they are used. (Are these more for the advanced user who wants to edit their videos on programs like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro?)
Check my online shop for more detailed explanations.
hiking with sandals! NICE!
Yeah, nothing better imo! + my white scandinavian toes gets a tan 😅
First time watching channel. (I'm from Chicago area btw)
nice footage, which city is that at 17min
Hi Rob, just a thought but the problem with the active track could be caused by bright/strong light confusing the sensors? Maybe it will improve with ND filters or firmware update like you mentioned ? My Mini 4 arrived a couple of days ago and love it. I sold my Mavic 2 Pro after the advice I found from watching your videos leading up to the release of the mini 4. Glad I made the switch as I wasn't going to take a drone on my next travels but now will. Thanks.
Could be, but i had the issue where the sun dont shine as well, so no difference tbh. But waypoints adds up for the poor tracking and is the main reason i got this🙌🙌🙌
Great video. Those nightshots look awesome! Might be a big selling feature for me.
Thanks man😃
Is the tracking worse than on the Mini 3 Pro?
There is a new update which i haven’t tested yet, but will shortly. I assume this makes it even better
Hi Rob! Great video! Thanks for sharing with us.... one question, how can I make sure my drone doesn't get attacked by birds? thanks for comment...
You can’t
I actually love the prop guard. it is tight though.
