Very informative. I have dreamed of buying one & think I'm going for the mini 4 pro. Will watch more of your videos. Informative -easy to watch & ( hopefully I understood what's important) since there's all sorts of things about them I know nothing about.
Mini 4 looks like a mini beast!! This should work great for those wanting that little bit more and still be under that 250 mark. Love the video Aldryn, looking forward to the next one!!
Finally gonna upgrade from my mini 2. Woohoo! The 4th series of DJI mini and Action is so far monsters against the rest of the competition! DJI for the win!
Great content and professional decription. Much better than most of your 'colleagues' unable to disclose important information like the relevant difference between batteries. Well deserved subscription!
I have to keep telling myself to not buy all the new toys that come out, and then this video just makes it even harder for my self-control! So tempted to upgrade to this one, the 360 avoidance is a really great upgrade!
You should watch a few more videos. Obstacle avoidance seems to be better on the mini 3 pro because of how the front sensors are positioned 👍 I’m keeping my mini 3 pro until the mini 5
@cassijoanna Actually no. Both drones are generally 248 grams. The filters are 0.75 grams. Both of these together is still less than 249g and the limit is 250g. Depending where you are you could even fly at 250g, but 248.75g (filter+drone) is still below 250g so all good.
I just sold my Air 2. Do i get an Air 3 or Mini pro 4. I just wished the Air 3 had 4k vertical shooting mode. Then it would be a easy decision for myself. Great video
So explain this to me, because I can grief on Facebook when I point this out - You have a flying drone. A drone that can go 50mph. Other than a faster background move when you move the drone in an arc, what does that second lens really buy you. Its a telephoto lens, when you can just move the lens closer to get whatever shot you want. Also, the Air 3 and the Mini 4 Pro use the exact same sensor, so what else, besides this telephoto lens are you really getting for the Air 3 (other than weight, cost and regulations). [I was under the impression that the Mini 4 Pro uses the same stacked CMOS sensor as the Air 3, you implied that maybe they didn't?]
Very thorough review, thank you. I've got a Mini 3 Pro and was all set to get the Air 3, mainly because of the 70mm lens, but the Mini 4 Pro is just an awesome upgrade over the Mini 3 Pro (10-bit, HDR in 60fps, waypoints, 360 collision sensors, etc). You can also really see how much better the picture quality is, especially the dynamic range, vs the Mini 3 Pro. I'm actually shocked how many features they packed in the Mini 4 Pro. I'm now thinking of getting the Mini 4 Pro and holding off for the Air 4/Mavic 4. I might miss the Air 3's power and tele lens for a bit.
I have a Magic Air 2s, which has the 1” sensor that I love, but lacks the side sensors. I think piece of mind when flying is more important than visuals, especially when using focus track. With that said, do you think it’s worth upgrading to Mini 4 Pro. I do a lot of aerial videos especially in sports and live on the east coast of the US. I have lots of great views of the Statue of Liberty and NYC skyline that I like to film. I would hate to sacrifice video quality, but don’t know what I’m losing in that particular category if I chose to go with mini 4 pro. Please help!
My current solution is the Air 2s however I bought the RC controller. The problem is the RC isn't able to transfer video or pictures other than using Bluetooth and it's slow. How is the transfer process. BTW also a Tesla 23 MYP owner. Loved your videos when you had your delivery day.
How many minis dji has released ? and they are all on sale at the same time, I just can't catch up with the buying speed with new models. I will keep with my mini 3 pro for a while.
How about the nd filter size? can mini 4 pro use the same nd filter as mini 3 pro? i got a mega pack of Freewell it would be nice to shared them both those filter.
I wish DJI would be less stingy and give M3P the general waypoints ability as well, since it's already available in hyperlapse but has to be entered to reach each point and then exited for other modes. No reason it can't be added other than to entice people for the M4P, which won't even take the same expensive filters for the same size camera.
I hope the new Mini 4 won't have the same issues as the Mini 3 did, particularly when it comes to capturing 48-megapixel images (quad Bayer sensor, not real 48mpix). The problem with sudden disconnections while using the drone was quite frustrating on the Mini 3. In those instances, the drone would hover in place and wouldn't return to its home position. Instead, it would only land at the spot where it lost connection with the remote. This mini 3 had also issues with thermal management. There were also issues with sphere panorama mode, where sometimes it was able to make 2% of the process, and wont make more (only landing and reseting the drone helped). The obstacle avoidance sensors, to be honest, are not entirely reliable when it comes to trees or small obstacles. The manufacturer provides performance specifications for this sensor system based on speed. It's worth acknowledging that DJI knows how to reach into the customers' wallets. Personally, I think I'll stick with my Mini 3 Pro and lean towards purchasing the new DJI Air 4 version if they upgrade the sensor to a larger one.
Mini 4 nettement meilleur que le mini 3..quoiqu’on en dise..essayer le et vous verrez par apport à votre mini 4..le 4 juste quelques minutes d’autonomie afin de garder le droit C02..le mini 5 DJIvas devoir se creuser la tête..amélioration photo?et ou I.A Dans le drone..?what thé question..mais se drone et top surtout avec toute cette technologie embarquée pour un drone de moins de 250 grammes..travailler peut être sur les batteries..bon drone a tous et vive se mini 4 qui vas être la pour un moment👍🥳
We got the AR Homepoint stuff on Air 3 today. For some ODD REASON, the pulses in the RTH Green tube overlay were left out. No pulses? I thought that's onky Mavic 3, but nope. MINI 4 PRO has them. What's up DJI?
I’m sorry but the only change that is worth it is the obstacle avoidance. However it’s not worth the money. The mini 3 pro is still running strong. I will skip the 4 pro, and wait for a significant video capturing upgrade.
Thanks for this great comparison with other DJI ingeneering wonders! Question: Somebody told the ND-filters from the 4Pro aren’t compatible with the 3Pro. Since the sensor seems to be exact the same I would pretend they are interchangeable. Is it?
I loved DJI for years but man it is hard today. Mini 1 was 500$ for Fly More Combo with 3 baterries and a hard case. Now you have to pay twice the price for smaller set with soft pouch. I though Mini series was meant to be an affordable series for people who just start and use drone only for family purposes. Now Mini series cost as much as Air series 5 years ago
Thanks a lot for this comparaison. You did not compare or maybe I miss it the photo resolution. Because I think the Mini 3 IS not a Real 48mp. What about mini 3 and 4 pro. Are they Real 48mp ?
I never fly farther than 3 miles, so I don’t think its an huge upgrade, it goes really far already, only the battery life is limiting it to fly farther….
The mini pro 4 is a lot more compelling than the Air 3... I will wait for the Air 3 Pro before deciding, what is the point of going so much more expensive for the same camera? I think DJI has created so much overlap.
wished dji went all the way in with a 1 inch sensor cause skydio just dropped their 249g model x10 with a one inch sensor and its not taking no prisoners
Unfortunatly, that Mini 4 drone is C0 classified in Germany. This means, that it is limited to 120m above STARTPOINT (not ground!!) max height. That’s a real bummer, when you live in the mountains, and you want to follow a ridge… The Mini 3 can go 500m above start! Don’t know, how that’s in the US?! Probably I should import one from overseas?!

The new Mini 4 Pro is a very full featured upgrade. Great comparison video, and thanks for sharing.
Great summary, thanks Aldryn!
Glad it was helpful!
Dji really out here competing with themselves lol. So many new drones this year
Def air 3 is best choice in between for quality wind resistant and features. Mini for portability though and if your trying to sneak around 😅
Great review and comparison!
Please do RC-2 vs RC-N2 range test on mini 4 pro
Excellent review - just asking, would you prefer the Mini 4 Pro or the Air 2S ?

Can you use the ND filters from the Mini 3 Pro also for the Mini 4 Pro???
Nd filter put it over the 249gram weight to technically no unless you register

no, you can't expect a real 48 mpx from such a tiny sensor. The noise level will be immense and the product will be unusable.

360 Obstacle avoidance to have a calm and relaxed piece of mind... meanwhile: 6:45 💀😂
