Today DJI has launched a new sub 250g mini drone the DJI Mini 4 Pro, they built on an already impressive mini drone and packed even more pro features into it such as omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, the O4 transmission system, HDR video, 10-bit D-Log M, waypoints, cruise control and a powerful new tracking system that can track you in a full 360 degrees with a simple touch. There are many other enhancements and in this video review, I will demonstrate some of these new features and show you some incredible footage captured on the new DJI Mini 4 Pro.

Small, powerful, and mighty. This looks legit. Think I'll gift myself this Christmas by buying one.
The new DJI Mini 4 has some very impressive features. It has inherited a lot of the features that used to be only be on the Mavic and Air series of drone. Great review Shawn, you covered everything I could think of. And it's great that still uses the same batteries from the Mini 3 series. Thanks for sharing.
Shawn...this is hands-down one of THE BEST demo videos I've watched on RUclips...and I've watched MANY. I was seriously considering purchasing the Mini 4 Pro based upon a lot of research I've done, and you sealed the deal for me with this video. I just ordered one including the 2-year DJI Care Refresh policy. Thanks very much for doing such a professional job!
It’s like a blind guy flying drones and he really knows his stuff
Thanks Shaun.. excellent review!
My DJI Mini 4 Pro arriving tomorrow..and your video is VERY helpful.
(Also watched your expanded review👍👍)
Keep up the good work!
Bill

Always love your videos. It's a great piece of tech indeed. What a superb location to fly
Great review, thanks, I always appreciate the fact you talk in easy to understand language, with some reviews I get so confused
This is a great overview of features, thank you!
Great Review Video Shaun. Looking forward to more videos for the list of features this new Drone has.
Excellent overview! Thanks.
Always enjoy your content bro. Keep up the good work!
Very thorough review, Shawn!
Dji mini + car + weekend ❤
Impresive tech !!
really nice video and explanation!!
Got to get this drone, my first. Thanks Shaun, your presentation is, as always, excellent.
Awesome Vlog Shaun!! As always, you've done us all proud with another epic, detailed and informative review. What an exciting array of new features it has too. I am in UK, currently still own a Mini 1, it would appear a massive leap forward to a Mini 4 - would you recommend it?? Take care and all the best.
Great review
Well done Shaun ! It continues to amaze me how DJI packs so many features into a sub 250 gram drone. Keep up the great work !
Thanks Bill I appreciate that
Great video!! Excited to upgrade. Hoping to see another vlog soon!!
This is the One I have been waiting for Great Video Thank You🙂
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
Thank you for an in-depth look into the DJI Mini 4 Pro.
I bought the Air 3 when it came out and kind of wished I had waited and saved some money with the Mini 4. Now I'm not regretting the purchase of the Air 3 because it is a fanominal drone in its own right.
I am just a hobbyist drone operator and really enjoy flying them.
Thanks again and I really enjoy your channel.
I would like to thank you for the great videos you make, thank you so much.
As usual, very clear and straight forward explanation. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and thanks for watching
So glad I found this; By far the best summary of the Mini 4 Pro and helped me make my decision to buy! Clear, concise, and brief! Earned a subscribe from me!
Thank you very much. I appreciate that and welcome aboard. I hope you enjoy my channel and content. 🙂
Thank you, Shawn! Your reviews are always very thorough! Your review really helped me with my buying decision.
Thanks for watching Marcus
Just got outta class, hyped to watch your video Shaun
Thank you I appreciate that
another awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Very good review...I see you're home plus it was nice to see the Newfoundland scenes...well done
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes I’ve been home back in Ontario for about a week now.
Ordered it now after watching this ...thanks
Another great video Shawn ...note the batteries , careful with locking tabs. They are very weak and snap easily especially in the cold.
Well done Shaun great first review on the new DJI Mini 4 Pro cheers.
Thanks 👍
Another good Mini Drone from DJI and good video Shawn.
Thanks 👍
Great video
thanks for info!
🤗👍
Bang on time here we go
When I woke up this morning I never imagined I would order a Mini 4 today and be putting my fantastic 3 up for sale but this new drone has the only 2 things I want extra, 360 obstacle avoidance and better signal.
Shawn as always an excellent review, hope your keeping well mate? :)
This looks like a real winner!!! Maybe this will be my first drone!!! Absolutely love the Newfoundland footage!!!
Thank you very much and yes, indeed it’ll be a great choice for those looking to get into the hobby. A nice, small, easy to fly drone with all the pro features included.
Great review, as always. Did you happen to check and see if it had trouble flying at legal height but at higher than legal such as flying over and up a mountain or tower?
Excellent work again Sean,all the clear info one could need👍you may want to look (or not) more in the camera when talking though😂
Yes, speaking in front of the camera still fairly new to me. I got a lot to learn. I still find it a little uncomfortable but I’m getting more comfortable with it every time. I appreciate the feedback.
Excellent video. I like your style.
Thank you very much!
Nice summary of the new drone. Looks like a winner.
It is!
Thank you for the review Sean! You just changed my mind from getting a discounted Air 2s to the Mini 4 Pro. More features & more versatility with the Mini 4...
I think that is a great choice
Thanks for share
My pleasure
Just got my mini 3 pro back in July😢 I hope some of the software features trickle down to the mini 3 pro in future firmware updates. But down the road, this is something I will consider purchasing. Shout out to DJI for keeping the price down and having the same batteries and compatibility with older controllers if needed. Love the footage of signal hill with the mini 4 pro. Looks awesome. Hope you enjoyed your stay here. 👊
Quite often it does so perhaps we’ll see ya another firmware update for the 3 pro adding some new features
Same!
@@AirPhotographyIs this going to give a mavic 3 a run for its money. It has so many good features and I can’t see that many extra stuff the mavic 3 has compared to it, is the mavic 3 still worth the extra 2 grand.
Nice to see that the batteries are compatible with the Mini 3. What about the other parts like propellers? Do you know if the Mini 3 props are compatible as well?
I’m looking to get into drones to film stuff for my own chann. Thanks for the video
Great review as always. Wondering where do you deal with to purchase your drones. I live near Goderich ON. thanks.
Love LightCut. I use it with my gimbal and it’s super easy to use.
Totally agree!
Great review!! Perfect timing as I just lost my ‘old’ Air2. Tried to order direct during the release this morning but they’re not shipping yet. Thanks!!
Thank you very much
just bought the mini 3 pro last week
can you use the same filters as the mini 3 pro
What a great review, Shawn. But it makes it harder for me to try to ignore this and just stay happy with my Mini 3 Pro. Darn those developers at DJI!! //Tom
Thank you very much indeed DJI sure knows how to build exciting drones
Hello Shaun, thank you again for your comprehensive review. I have learned that the max altitude of the Mini 4 PRO is limited to 120 m.(at least in Europe). Being in a mountain area, this is a bad limitation... Do you confirm?
Nice 👍
Thank you for watching
Hi what software do you use to edit your videos??
I got one yesterday... just opened it and haven't been able to test it properly. It's my first drone. But what I did notice though is that it gets super hot even in stand by mode. Is this normal?
20KM? jesus. love this review
I currently have a Mini 2 with the RC-N1 controller, and I use the Drone Mask 2. I am getting set to upgrade to the Mini 4 pro. I have to decide if I am going to get the RC-N2 or the RC 2 controller. If I get the RC 2 controller, I can't use my Drone Mask. The main reason I got the Drone Mask 2 was so I could see the screen of my phone in daylight. How does the screen on the RC 2 compare to a phone screen? If I stop using the Drone Mask, will I be able to use the RC 2 in bright sunlight, or will I be looking for a shady area to fly from again?
Best drone hands down, I really can’t think of an improvement for the next generation besides camera upgrades.
Yeah, these drones are getting crazy good I don’t know what more they could add or perform.
Yeah I agree.
Trying to buying one soon
@@gtiguy1992able same, I’m getting great use outta my M3P still so it’s hard to justify. Only on occasions that I’m downtown & my signal is weak that I almost impulse buy the M4P 😂
Has DJI corrected on the Mini 4 Pro, the camera fogging problem that had been plaguing the Mini 3?
First off...love the scenery there....damn i miss the Maritimes! Just seems to me not enough of a leap for DJI to get my $ on this one...I've donated allot to them the last few years haha... I'll most likely be skipping this one and keep the Mini 3pro/Mavic 3 lineup for a while. Then I again I swore I'd never buy the Avata and I did...a few months ago...still siting in the box...need to fly that one
This is off topic but I wonder if you know the answer to this issue. How I can set the height on my Mini 4 Pro to 50 feet instead of the default minimum of 65 feet? Asked for LAANC permission and it said I could fly up to 50 feet then was unable to fly. The drone defaults to a minimum of 65 feet.
so there will be DJI AIR 4, great
Hey Sean, can you use the controller on the Mini 4 Pro on an existing Mavic 3? Thanks for the very informative video.
Unfortunately, no at this point they’re not compatible. But that could change with a firmware update. If that doesn’t need to be the case, I will definitely make a video about it.
I'm watching this video on my 60 inch 4k TV and I noticed some hitching and stuttering in the drone clips. 4:02 , for example, the water seems to be skipping frames or lagging. You can really see the stuttering in the ocean waves of the 0:20 shot. I have a hard time seeing it when watching the video on my Pixel 8 Pro but I can still see a very subtle stutter, it's just softened or something.
I did not notice it in the 2:51 shot. So, what's going on here? Is it RUclips? Did something happen in the edit or when the video was rendered? Or does the video come out of the drone with this issue?
Price same as last year M3Pro I wonder DJI has upgrade policy?
Thanks Shawn! Great video/review.
For shits/giggles, how is the accuracy of the RTH?
Cheers!
I have a return to home video coming soon. It’s actually very accurate because this is the first mini drone to have precision landing like the more expensive drones.
Hello Shawn. First of all, greetings from here in the Arctic Circle (from Finland). I recently bought a DJI Mini 4 Pro drone. I plan to use it to film videos for my You Tube Channel "Vihonviimeinen Mohikaani", where I present my life here in Finland surrounded by Arctic nature. before getting a drone, I looked for good instruction videos on how to fly a drone on You Tube. I think your videos were the best. Now I have flown and filmed with my drone quite a bit and with your instructions it has been very easy. So thank you very much for the very clear and good instructional videos. In the future, there will be a lot of drone videos on my You Tube channel, also "extreme winter test" videos.
Impressive as always with DJI, I will just keep my Mini 3 Pro as it is still a great drone. If i was looking for a first drone this would be it with the sideways sensors.
Indeed, the mini 3 pro is an excellent drone. For some people, the features will be worth the upgrade for others. It’s stuff they won’t really use anyways so not worthwhile.
Why you did not show night mode?
I have the Mavic air 2 and I am thinking of selling it to buy the mini 4 pro. do you think it will be worth it?
Great review! DOES THE MINI 4 PRO HAVE A MAXIMUM HEIGHT LIMITATION OF 120m? Will it fly higher?
It won't, flight higher in Europe, unless hacked in the future.
In accordance with the new European Drone Regulation that will come into effect on 1 January 2024, DJI's Mini 4 Pro will be launched with a C0 class identification label and therefore be restricted to an altitude limit of 120m that cannot be increased in any scenario as in the C0 class no certificate of knowledge or drone licence is required and the only technical solution to be compliant with the regulation is the limitation from the starting point. BR, ^J
Do you think the advance RTH will also be available on DJI Air 3 future firmware update?
Yes, I’m assuming it will
Does it shoot in RAW for photography? I could look it up but I thought leaving a comment would be better for your channel.
In Europe (CE) is limited to 120 meters altitude
What is the Price in US?
Will this work with the FPV goggles again? Have or could you please try this?
As of yet, it’s not compatible. But I’m sure it will be soon. Today they just made the air 3 compatible with the goggles. And it’s been been out for about seven weeks. So I’m assuming it’s just a matter of time before they introduce the firmware to make it compatible
st john's nfld?
So can we use the same controller now for both the M4P and A3?
Yes, indeed there was a firmware update for the air 3 this morning as well that will make the controllers compatible, so if you end up buying it, you only need one controller to fly both
I always look for your new reviews thank you ! P.S. I just watched another video, I won't link to it because it takes somebody away from your channel, but the reviewer weighs the new mini 4 pro with a mini 3 pro battery and it comes to ⚠251 grams. So it could pose a problem if you are a stickler for exact weights. Not sure if anyone checking on somebody would care, but who knows. The title of that video I just watched is : DJI Mini 4 Pro vs Mini 3 Pro - Physical comparison -- but I won't give a link - just RUclips it and you'll see it. ( Goto about 3:25 into that vid ) -- I had a really funny feeling that DJI would add more sensors because of everyone asking for them, and bingo, they did just that, this here looks to be a drone that will last a few years, it now has complete sensor avoidance.
Very interesting. I’m still on the road and I have no access to a scale so I can’t test that myself but it is something I will definitely look into. Thank you for pointing that out.
@@AirPhotography You're welcome. I look forward to when you get home and do the same test. Hi scale did seem accurate, but a second test would be great. Thanks for taking the time to reply and I love your channel. I hope you do some more stuff with the new DJI 4 mini Pro drone. I want one, but wow the price tag in Canada with 14% tax added on - ouch ouch ouch !
Can you do tracking, spotlight, and quick shots all in 4k60? (Unlike mini 3 pro)
Yes, indeed, it can in all those modes
@@AirPhotography Very valuable info to me. Thanks for reply. Gonna have to get the drone now. 💰
Will it Activetrack at 4k/60fps?
Yes, indeed it can 👍
Some day our every day motor vehicles will look just like this, only 20x larger
It's disappointing that the camera and sensor are still the same. If they had upgraded to the stacked sensor, I'd upgrade from my Mini 3 Pro. But with the same camera and sensor, I'll wait for a Mini 5 (or an Air 3 S that might have a 1 inch sensor).
Mini 3 batteries are actually heavier than mini 4 batteries so while they are physically compatible, using a mini 3 battery in a mini 4 drone will push the mini 4 over 250g
I skipped the Mini3, so this is very tempting.
When was it released
It was officially launched this morning
Always good work from you Shawn - thank you for your effort! @AirPhotography
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
The fuck? How is the Mini 4 pro out already and I missed it??? Wow. This has some epic features! Man makes me wanna upgrade to another drone bc now my mini 2 seems like outdated af technology
I want one. I still have the mini 2…
Are mini 3 NDs compatible?
Nope, sadly not. The lens is slightly larger
Unfortunately, not, nor is the wide angle lens.
@@AirPhotography thanks for the reply, appreciate it
@@dronesayeview thanks!
The lack of improved sensor is disappointing, it is rather a Mini 3 Pro Plus than Mini 4 Pro.
exactly shoulda just called it mini 4 then when 1 inch sensor is employed call it mini 4 pro
I've been in the video production business for over 40+ years. This man is an excellent teacher, with zero drama and direct to the point. No hipster BS.
what its price?
It depends on which package you’re interested in.
- DJI Mini 4 Pro: $759
- DJI Mini 4 Pro (DJI RC 2): $959
- DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo (DJI RC 2) $1,099
- DJI Mini 4 Pro Long Battery Life Fly More Combo (DJI RC 2): $1,159
@@AirPhotography thanks
🤝🤝
They've limited the height to 120m. The camera is a little bigger so have to buy new filters, which I think is a shame.
Oh is it? I thought the Mini 3 Pro Filters would be compatible with the Mini 4 Pro too.
I feel like the Mini3 only came out like a few months ago ...slow down a bit DJI 🤣
I guess last year controller is not compatible.
😢
At this point no it is not
Range test that small boi
Already done I just have to edit the video
