very informative video! I just got mine yesterday and it's been a joy to play with! I can see that you're filming in the rain, I read that this is bad, is it really bad?
Firstly, thank you so much for the super thanks. I was indeed filming in very light rain. This is not recommended but I have done it a few times for REALLY short flights and immediately dried my drone after landing - so far no issues.
They have no reason to, I'd love a discount as well but why discount something that is flying off the shelves, already expensive, is by far the most advanced in its category, and dominates all other manufacturers. It would just be 'something nice for the customer'. Something tells me DJI could give a f*ck about making you happy, lol
Hi Matthew, had to stop the vid at 16min and jump in to say this is your best ever video, extremely informative, covers SO many more features, areas, questions that ALL the other tubers don't. Others just done have that TIME to detail the little things, you do ! Explanations are clear and precise. Brilliant work, and now jumping back to the last 4-5 minutes, well done matey
I haven't quite mastered flying my Mini 3 Pro yet, so even though the Mini 4 Pro promises significant improvements, I'll be sticking with my Mini 3 Pro until I've honed my drone piloting skills to perfection 😄.
The mini 3 pro makes you a better drone flyer . Sharpen your skills with it first !! Becos it doesn’t have the side sensors , you will improve quicker when flying as you will be using Visual line of sight a lot when panning and also honing in on your throttle . I’ll be waiting for the Mini 6 pro looking at how DJI is going now . It won’t be long !!
Matthew, Thank you for this video comparison between the Mini 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro. It helped me fast track my learning curve of the Mini 4 Pro, just having lost forever my Mini 3 Pro. The improvements from DJI are epic!
Thank you Matthew I’ve been following you for over two years you’ve taught me so much I’m super excited to get this drone. You keep posting I’ll keep watching. Fly safe my friend ✈️
I asked the question through the chat option on the dji web site about batteries and filters, they said the batteries are but filters aren't, to me the front of the camera looks identical. A few comments on here also say putting the mini 3 pro batteries in the 4 will take it over 250g as they made the 4 batteries lighter to keep it under 250g, something dji failed to mention.
How is heat management on the drone? Doing software upgrade or lengthy configuration changes (I'm slow) at home will sometimes trigger temp warnings on my mini 3 pro.
Good question. When doing an update on the Mini 4 Pro it now goes into "Eco" mode - which I think turns off some features to help it stay cooler for longer.
Most of the updates come from the software. Some improvements like the gimbal cover, legs are arguable. It is interesting to hear if any software updates from Mini 4 are available for Mini 3.
Visually being able to see the home point is huge for me! I record my hikes in the mountains, often with tall trees, and I often struggle to figure out which tree is the one I'm standing under.
I think dji is to quick to release newer version of the mini drones. The week I bought my mini 2, mini 3 was released. I sold my mini 2 recently to buy mini 3, now mini 4 is available.. what if I buy the mini 4 now, before I get used to it, mini 5 will be out. I have just decided to chil abit to see where dji is going b4 spending money. It's really annoying cos I don't have any drone now
Nice quality review! I hesitated for a long time to buy the 4Pro, as I was already very satisfied with the 3Pro. I also saw many reviews saying there was little difference between the 3 and 4. But after seeing your review I ordered the 4 right away. Thank you !
Great to see decent videos about drones from a local RUclipsr! It has pushed me to purchase my First drone to get good shots of our great North coast etc! Cheers lad!
I ordered one on launch day direct from DJI (Monday) and it arrived on Friday. This is my first drone with a controller screen and it does take some time to get used to, especially moving files around. However, this was simplified when I discovered plugging the drone into my PC using the USB-C cable and without powering it up, the drone is recognized as two external drives. This makes for easy file transfers. Mini 3 Pro does not do this. This also is the first time I've bought DJI Care. I've seen a few mini 4 pro videos where people were using the advanced features (waypoint, track, etc.) where the drone crashes. I plan on trying these features too and it's better safe than sorry. Nice video by the way.
Apparently the mini 3 batteries do fit but are heavier than the ones that come with the mini 4 so will take the drone weight over the 249g mark. It looks likes the actual mini 4 drone is heavier than the mini 3 so DJI compensated by making the batteries lighter.
Thanks Mathew for explaining differences and features of the mini 4 pro, can you use the mini 3 pro batteries in the mini4 pro? If you can use the same batteries will the weight be more if you use the mini 3 pro battery’s in the mini 4pro ,bringing the weight of the mini 4 pro above 249g
Thanks Matthew. This looks great for many things but particularly for tracking mountain biking. Is it compatible with the original RC that I already have with my Mini 3 Pro? It looks like a software update could cover most of the new features.
Lot of information in one video. Will have to watch it again. This finally has everything that I'm looking for in a drone (except for luxury features like zoom & multiple cameras).
What I do get. Even with previous dji. drones. I’ve had them since the mavic first release. Why have a 25km range if the battery won’t even last half that?
Great video. Do you know why? I wonder why the obstacle avoidance doesn’t work while stationary. Which means if you set the drone stationary (tripod mode POI) to capture a moving object ( ex my sailboat passing by), it will not avoid the object moving towards it. That should be fixed with an update I wish…. Cheers.
You said you don't need to register this drone, but what if you add the longer lasting batteries which increases the weight of the drone to over 270g. Is there any restrictions or anything I have to do because now its weight has increased?
🤭Why did ya think the price was coming down ? Was waiting for the 4 pro but think I wait to see what the new laws will be once they have their meeting. The Auditors causing trouble on industrial sites may well cause a law change on weight.
Quick question can you use the mini 3 pro RC with the new mini 4 pro? Also can you use old batteries of dji mini 3 pro with mini 4 pro including the intelligent battery plus?
Thank you Matthew for the quick review. Indeed, DJI made improvements that made the same Air 3 but in under 250 grams. The only question I have left unanswered after your video: Is it compatible with Mini 3 pro's ND filters and Battery? Because I got a huge pack of ND filters for the Mini 3 pro and 3 extended batteries. Now I want to move to Mini 4, but at what cost, it needs all the new accessories?
That's a great review, man! I am very impressed with the new drone and I appreciate the production quality of your video. The views were astonishing and beautifully shot. Good work and thanks!
HI Mathew--wonder if you can help Ive got my mini3 pro and mini 4 pro Propellers mixed up in the same bag I read they arent interchangable And i cant tell rhe difference And im selling my mini 3 tomorrow morning 😱😱 Any advice Much appreciated Steve in Oz
Quck question. If i was to set an active track on me while on a motorbike what would happen the drone lost its connection with the controller? I would need to put the controller in a metal top box or a bag on the bike if I wanted the drone to follow me.
just for anyone wondering how expensive a repair might be without DJI care..... I had a broken gimbal arm, and freshwater submersion (10hrs underwater until I could retrieve) which resulted in $255 after the $65 service fee. But absolutely great service and free shipping both ways. Just got it back yesterday, and DJI threw in some free Merch. Now I have Mini3 and 4, couldnt be happier.
16:54 -- what would the comparison look like if they had identical settings (Mini 3 Pro is 3s intervals while Mini 4 Pro is 2s)? Just curious if they would be closer than your comparison.
I get ALOT of weak signals Adjust Antenna on my mini 3 Pro when I try to go to the lake near me and it’s VERY annoying. Thinking I will upgrade. Just want to make sure my 2 year DJ Refresh would cover the new mini 4 Pro OR that only covers my current mini 3 Pro???
Hi Matthew. I'm a big fan of anything drone related and own quite a few brands, with Patriot and DJI among my favorite. Just happened to wander into your channel for the first time today. Some of the best content for new and seasoned pilots. Great overview of the Mini 4 and look forward to more details from you. Thanks for leading us through the finer points of the Mini 4 Pro.
Nice job explaining the differences. Thanks! Where I live, the Mini 3 Pro Fly More Plus and the Mini 4 Pro Fly More Plus cost virtually the same, so it is a no brainer on which one to get.
Excellent video! I have just sold my Mini 2 to upgrade to the Mini 4 Pro. So I am well pleased 😊 Where abouts where you shooting the footage. Looks like a great place.
From what I can see, many of the features are software improvements. SO they could introduce them to the mini3 if they wanted to. That's said there is no incentive for them to do so. Be good to see the actual weight of this. The 3 came in at 248g meaning no skin or strobe where as the 2 came in with room to spare
After watching the video, I came to exactly the same conclusion. This is an opportunity to see how good a company DJI actually are in so far as serving the drone community that use their drones. I have a DJI mini 3 pro and like you in my opinion, many of the improvements on the four version just require a software upgrade. Let’s find out what type of company they are and see if they do that. It would be nice if the drone creative contact DJI as I assume they are well able to do an express these concerns, which I’m sure will be shared by many DJI mini free pro users.
Two things. One, the rc controller has improved in the signal department. Two who gives a crap if it weights 251 grams after add ons. I’m going to fly as is without saying anything………………….why stress over it. The drone won’t know and no one else will know except you. Unless you got cops carrying scales with them and they want you to weight it for them. If that’s the case then you live in a dictatorship
I can tell you what type of company DJI is... the type that likes to sell you a new drone every year. Over the years I have bought the Phantom, Phantom 3, Phantom 4, Phantom 4 Pro 2.0, Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom, Air 2, Air 2S (released like 6 months after the Air 2!), Mini, and Mini 3 Pro. And I am probably forgetting a couple! But you have to give them credit - they relentlessly push forward the technology and the new models always have some significant improvements. At least this time we can reuse our batteries...
Yes, I think some improvements are processor related. DJI is actually pretty good about updating firmware but I never expect major new features with that sort of software update. It would be great (and I would pay a reasonable fee for it) but I don't expect it.
Hey thanks for the video.... Something you didn't mention was a speed comparison between the 3 and the 4.... Is the 4 faster than the 3? For example: if I was riding a motorcycle at 50kms per hour for 200m's the 3 cannot keep up and loses tracking.... Does the 4 lose tracking? Hope you can help with this information.
Hello, Great video, thank you for sharing. I have dji mini 3 pro. Can I use the battery of DJI mini 3 pro for this DJI mini 4 pro? and for mini 3 pro ND lens filter And box protective cover smart remote can I use for mini 4 pro drone
I've literally just ordered my '4' combo set up. Yes the Mini 3 pro batteries will fit/work on the 4 but will then take the 4 above 250g. The new batteries are lighter. Hence buying combo😮 My main purpose of a drone is photography so here's hoping I'll not be disappointed 😢 Thanks for the review
In much the same way I waited for the DJI Action 4 to be released, I’ve been waiting for this DJI Mini 4 Pro to be released…..and in both cases, the improvements I’ve been hoping for, have in fact been added…..and more features besides. So thanks once again for this comprehensive guide to the Mini 4 Pro. Now I just need work out my financial situation for the next 6 months before making this purchase.
Best review video I have seen. Super informative and helpful to get the best out of your purchase. As a novice I appreciate you demoing all of the features. I will be saving your video for instructional use when I have bought one. Many thanks, Garry.
Hi, will the ND filters for the mini 3 fit the camera socket on the mini 4? Also, are the spare rotors identical to the mini 3? I have the Fly More (bought with my mini 3 pro) pack you see and don’t really want to buy another fly more pack for the mini 4 if those accessories are identical and compatible. Many thanks in advance, Andrew
Nice job as always Matthew and a tip of the hat to you for being selected by DJI as an early reviewer of their new releases. I was thinking about you recently in terms of the time you spend putting these videos together, i.e. the work that goes into it and the quality content your produce. Again, nice job.
Thank you for another great video. Do you think any of the tracking features will be added to software updates to other drones as well? By the way, are you flying in rain 😲 at 09:55?
The new "waypoint" feature is definitely a game changer. And also the new higher fps on diff res. I'm also impressed w its variant augmented reality effects. Now it feels like i accidentally and unfortunately bought M3P last few months ago and already seemed slightly overpriced to me at that time, due to somewhat having limited and slightly underwhelming average features comparing to M4P, except camera quality. Damn you DJI. Fucc
If they make the RC 2 compatible with the MP3 it would make it ok for me to have both. The weak signal of the RC 1 is what stops me from flying so many times when I actually want to.
Sadly I just bought the M4P 5 weeks ago and wish I had known the M4P was coming out soon. I would have waited. There are some really nice features the M4P has I really like. My timing is horrible. Wish I had not even known about the M4P now.
- Timecoding for the video would be so cool that you could use microphones that support that and easier to combine voice of multiple microphones. - I had to send DJI Mini Pro 3 to guarantee repair without a DJI care plan, and it took 2 months to unscrew the screw, which was so tight that I didn't open it. Then when they sent the drone back, they did not package it properly. It was just loose in the package. So, I would assume that you need this care plan. ( I bought it for 2 years, but have not had to use it )

Oh wow this looks like a really solid update! I wish DJI did a trade-in program to make it cheaper to upgrade!
That would be very nice

It would just be 'something nice for the customer'. Something tells me DJI could give a f*ck about making you happy, lol
i sold my m3p on, ordering m4p tomorrow, am interested as to what happens to my 2yr care plan before hand
Oh yeah @@ZacMcAdam that's a good point too. Out of curiosity, where did you end up selling the 3, eBay or something?
@@ZacMcAdam were you able to transfer the plan over?

Exactly my thoughts! I'll know when I'm good enough to deserve to move up to the 4. The 5 might be there by that time!😄
Me too. Gotta master my mini 3 pro...
I can fly an fpv drone, but don't know how to fly these lol
@@Phoenix11720 I’ve only used FPV very slowly to fly through a sculpture. Terrifying with sensors switched off🫣

Thank you for being a long time watcher! Really appreciate that.
In Europe the height limit is set to 120m on the new Mini 4 pro, no more 500m due to the new 0 Class. Is is the same in the US?
Nice video, Are the batteries, filters and propellers interchangeble between the mini 3 and mini 4?
Batteries yes
Also wonder about the ND filters? Are they the same?

Hello Matthew super detailed video. Are the DJI RC2 CONTROLLER from Air 3 is compatible with the mini pro 4 ?
Thank you! It is my understanding that the DJI RC2 from the Air 3 is compatible with the Mini 4 Pro.
I think dji is to quick to release newer version of the mini drones. The week I bought my mini 2, mini 3 was released.

Do the ND filters for DJI Mini 3 Pro fit/work with the DJI Mini 4 Pro?
No, they don´t.
Can you pre plan waypoints before you fly.if so can you show a video of how to use the way point set up plan b4 I take off.cheers
Nice quality review! I hesitated for a long time to buy the 4Pro, as I was already very satisfied with the 3Pro. I also saw many reviews saying there was little difference between the 3 and 4. But after seeing your review I ordered the 4 right away. Thank you !
Can you use the same battery from the Mini 3 in the Mini 4 series?
I wann know too
Great video!! Will the mini 3 Pro batteries work with the 4?
Imterested too
Is the auxiliary light bright enough to count as the light needed while flying at night?
Great to see decent videos about drones from a local RUclipsr! It has pushed me to purchase my First drone to get good shots of our great North coast etc! Cheers lad!
Ps you’ll have to share some of those locations!

2) can you install apps on the DJI RC2 controller?
Does The remote with the screen for the mini 3 work with the mini 4 ? I want to buy one of those remotes so I can only buy the mini 4 drone later.
Now, I can decide which one to buy. Thanks bro.
Lot of information in one video. Will have to watch it again. This finally has everything that I'm looking for in a drone (except for luxury features like zoom & multiple cameras).
And heavy wind resistance
What I do get. Even with previous dji. drones. I’ve had them since the mavic first release.
Why have a 25km range if the battery won’t even last half that?
what does regulation friendly mean? Does that mean you can fly this commercially without a drone/pilot license?
Where do you store your drones at home? Do I need a dry cabinet?
Great video. Do you know why? I wonder why the obstacle avoidance doesn’t work while stationary.

Quck question. If i was to set an active track on me while on a motorbike what would happen the drone lost its connection with the controller? I would need to put the controller in a metal top box or a bag on the bike if I wanted the drone to follow me.

But absolutely great service and free shipping both ways. Just got it back yesterday, and DJI threw in some free Merch. Now I have Mini3 and 4, couldnt be happier.
@6:00 When you say "even slower framerate of 200fps"...did you mean faster? Or is there a faster framerate available, and 200 is indeed slower?
Whoops! My mistake. You are right, I meant faster framerate!
16:54 -- what would the comparison look like if they had identical settings (Mini 3 Pro is 3s intervals while Mini 4 Pro is 2s)? Just curious if they would be closer than your comparison.
Is the Mini 4 Pro just as quiet as the Mini 3 Pro?
Thanks Matthew. Love your style. I’m a bit of a newbie looking to upgrade from a mini se so this may be it.
How helpful do you think the propeller guards are?
Was hoping there would be further improvements/progress with the video quality and camera..seems pretty similar to the mini 3 pro
So just to make sure I understand this correctly, the Mini 4 pro cannot be used with the DJI RC?
Can i ask if you apply the dji care refresh you need to pay or just a free no need to pay?
Can you record in 4k 60 in spotlight, tracking and quick shots mode? (Unlike mini 3 pro)
Do you know if the sensor is the same one that the Air 3 has, with BSI technology, Remosaic for photos and Binning for video? Thank you

Hello, Great video, thank you for sharing. I have dji mini 3 pro. Can I use the battery of DJI mini 3 pro for this DJI mini 4 pro? and for mini 3 pro ND lens filter And box protective cover smart remote can I use for mini 4 pro drone
I'll be sticking with the Mini 3 Pro until the Mini 5 Pro. Any news of a release date yet ?
Yeah it should be released in the next 8-12 weeks. The M4P will then be considered obsolete by the consumer base.
Right with built-in AI so it can fly itself😂
Why did they remove the lights in the front arms the mini 3 pro has on the 4 pro? 😢
Do we have google map on the RC display controller incase we loose video
I've literally just ordered my '4' combo set up. Yes the Mini 3 pro batteries will fit/work on the 4 but will then take the 4 above 250g. The new batteries are lighter. Hence buying combo😮
My main purpose of a drone is photography so here's hoping I'll not be disappointed 😢
Thanks for the review
Mini 3 Pro would be a perfect drone for you for Photography purposes.
@@forumsnowsoldier I'm looking forwards to delivery then better weather.... 🌧️
In much the same way I waited for the DJI Action 4 to be released, I’ve been waiting for this DJI Mini 4 Pro to be released…..and in both cases, the improvements I’ve been hoping for, have in fact been added…..and more features besides. So thanks once again for this comprehensive guide to the Mini 4 Pro. Now I just need work out my financial situation for the next 6 months before making this purchase.
Best review video I have seen. Super informative and helpful to get the best out of your purchase.
As a novice I appreciate you demoing all of the features. I will be saving your video for instructional use when I have bought one. Many thanks, Garry.
Great video dear Mathew👍👍, as always Thanks. Please can you tell if Freewell ND filters from Mini 3 pro will fit to Mini 4 pro? 🙏🙏
Hi, will the ND filters for the mini 3 fit the camera socket on the mini 4? Also, are the spare rotors identical to the mini 3? I have the Fly More (bought with my mini 3 pro) pack you see and don’t really want to buy another fly more pack for the mini 4 if those accessories are identical and compatible. Many thanks in advance, Andrew
Hi, does anyone know of a good source to download raw sample images and footage of the Mini 4 PRO? Thanks
Waypoints can only use video stream? Will it be possible to use this drone with mission planning software? I am hoping it will! Great video!!
Nice job as always Matthew and a tip of the hat to you for being selected by DJI as an early reviewer of their new releases. I was thinking about you recently in terms of the time you spend putting these videos together, i.e. the work that goes into it and the quality content your produce. Again, nice job.
Thank you! Really appreciate that!
Thank you for another great video. Do you think any of the tracking features will be added to software updates to other drones as well? By the way, are you flying in rain 😲 at 09:55?
can we use goggles for that? is it compatible with the avata goggles?
Great review. Does it get hot like the Mini 3?
The new "waypoint" feature is definitely a game changer. And also the new higher fps on diff res. I'm also impressed w its variant augmented reality effects. Now it feels like i accidentally and unfortunately bought M3P last few months ago and already seemed slightly overpriced to me at that time, due to somewhat having limited and slightly underwhelming average features comparing to M4P, except camera quality. Damn you DJI. Fucc
i literally just got the m3p lol god damn
and the Cruise Control!
same just bought the M3P in july, have only taken it 2 vacations
If they make the RC 2 compatible with the MP3 it would make it ok for me to have both. The weak signal of the RC 1 is what stops me from flying so many times when I actually want to.
Sadly I just bought the M4P 5 weeks ago and wish I had known the M4P was coming out soon. I would have waited. There are some really nice features the M4P has I really like. My timing is horrible. Wish I had not even known about the M4P now.
Just bought.... I'll be after your videos for further advice 😮
Enjoy! You will love it!
This is worthy upgrade to dethrone my Air 2S now...how's the battery though?
When will these be available to purchase. It looks like it says reservation only as for now. Do you know when
Do you think still worth to buy this month, or should wait for next year for Mini 5 pro?
how do you get that green line when returning home ?
nice video, even nicer if may I know the place at @5:15
I already have Mini 3 Pro, please suggest if I should buy Mini 4 Pro as well?
Is it the new controller that adds the cruise control and waypoints ? Only brought a Mini 3 Pro a couple of weeks ago.
Hi, is the mini 4 pro drone compatible with the mini 3 pro rc commander?
- Timecoding for the video would be so cool that you could use microphones that support that and easier to combine voice of multiple microphones.
- I had to send DJI Mini Pro 3 to guarantee repair without a DJI care plan, and it took 2 months to unscrew the screw, which was so tight that I didn't open it. Then when they sent the drone back, they did not package it properly. It was just loose in the package. So, I would assume that you need this care plan. ( I bought it for 2 years, but have not had to use it )
Thanks, another very informative video 👍 Just one question - are the batteries the same for both 3 pro and 4 pro?
That's a good and important question.
