    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.

    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?

    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.

    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

  • @runnerderek
    @runnerderek 9 месяцев назад +1

    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.

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.

      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

    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.

    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.

    Hi Rob. Are their any issues with taking a drone on a commercial flight?

  • @FrazerWaller
    @FrazerWaller Год назад +2

    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🙌🙌🙌

    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?)

    I got the M4 Pro to be my field camera for my other channel (and replace gopro) Active track did great "most" of the time and unfortunately I sat down to edit footage and find out that I had a headless shot for one of the scenes :( So moving forward I will have to keep the drone back a little further than desired so that this does not happen until they fix this with FW update. Thanks for the great videos.

    You make some great points to ponder, Robin. Now the age old question - do I upgrade from the M3P or give this level a pass until the next one. The M3P is a very capable drone as you know. I am not travelling again until the Spring/24, so I wonder how many times I will change my decision, back and forth before travel time. Thank you for your thoughts, and the beautiful sights of Oahu. //Tom

      @@mjanek20 I’ve watched literally almost every single active track video for this drone on RUclips (even the ones in languages I don’t speak) and in most of these videos the ones that crashed they crashed because they’re cycling through a forest of trees or something similar. What he’s complaining about in the video is that it can’t even lock tracking on him consistently. I’ve seen 15 min long videos of people testing active track thoroughly and the drone never lost tracking or mislabeled people as boats or whatever. I think his drone is defective…

    • @RobHK
      @RobHK  Год назад

      PROBLEM is, these “test” you’ve seen and tests done in test environments or test done as a sponsored product review…. My “test” is the actual use of active track when I’m out trying to have a good time. So my “test” is based on real life use and not a “Active track feature test”
      I have 3 hours of active fail I didn’t include in this video as it would make it boring.

    • @DigitalicaEG
      @DigitalicaEG Год назад

      @@RobHK wow, again that’s why I’m asking to understand… I’ve seen many fail videos but the fact that it can’t even lock tracking on you for a few seconds when you’re casually walking like that is quite extreme though. I disagree that all the videos that I watched are sponsored, I know that and the ones that are sponsored I definitely take with a grain of salt. Ive seen people test the drone for a full battery (continuous shot) and the drone performed adequately (definitely nothing mind blowing as the sponsored ones make it seem, but adequately and relatively significantly better than other DJI drones). It’s hard to cherry pick or edit out a continuous shot like that.

    Great video!
    Have you had any issues with obstacle avoidance?
    I’ve had my M4P for about a week now and I’ve come across a few issues.
    Active track has been all over the place and abit too sensitive.
    Flight time I haven’t yet managed I get over 20 minutes.
    Obstacle avoidance has been intermittent. Managed to crash into a large branch in good lighting. Sun behind the drone so no dazzling light. Really clear on the playback of the video but made no attempt to avoid. It caused the drone to hit the floor and then automatically fly vertically up at quite a speed!
    Also it attempted to auto land over water at 20% battery.
    I upgraded from a Mini 2 so was excited for this new drone, but I’m nervous now more than excited !

    • @RobHK
      @RobHK  Год назад +2

      Oh man 🫣 seems like you’ve had quite the journey already.
      But no issues with the avoidance here, it actually performed very well in all conditions. Both in the forest and during bright harsh light with smaller almost invisible branches.

    Fantastic video footage. Very well explained. My compliments. Did you actually need to have local permission or just sufficient to be insured (which is compulsory in Italy)? Another travel question. Did you have to declare the drone at the airport and were you somehow advised to stack the batteries in special containers?
    I now have a mini 4 pro. My first drone was a Mavic Air so quite a big difference in terms of technology. Yes, the drone sensors do need improvement and I do agree with your negative experience. Let's hope for a proper firmware update. Thanks again for keeping us updated.

    • @Jimbo-in-Thailand
      @Jimbo-in-Thailand Год назад +1

      @RobHK - Thanks to this video and many other positive reviews by others, I plan to grab a Mini 4 Pro shortly as it seems to have compelling pro features. And me considering DJI again says a lot as I'm an old Mavic Mini driver and swore I would never buy another DJI drone again as I have the castrated CE version here in Thailand. Signal interference has made my Mini nearly useless thanks to controller/camera lag latency beyond 100-150 meters in urban areas. Out in the country away from dense home WIFI and cell towers, it's a great camera bird and great flyer within 1km range. Sadly, filming Thai rice farms gets boring quickly. I'll be going with the standard controller since I have a 10" Android tablet that works great with the Mini 1. The RC-N1 is also a better choice for the Drone-Tweaks FCC hack. I'm also going with the Mini 3 Pro Plus battery kit since slightly more power than Mini 4 Plus.
      Wish me luck & Regards from CE HELL Thailand!

It does exactly what I input into the controller and I always have confidence it'll come home in time to land safely, and it does. You know what they say, "Safety First" but sometimes I have to turn off the safety settings to go where I want it to go but that's ok because I live my life with my own safety settings on most of the time but sometimes I'll fly by the seat of my pants, it's all part of the excitement of flying a drone 🏴‍☠️🚁
