I really wasn’t planning on upgrading from the Mini 3 pro to the Mini 4 pro but, put my order in last night. 2 most important upgrades to me that I just can’t resist are: 1) Waypoints 2) Able to shoot 4k 60 in intelligent flight modes.
Waypoints. Active Track 360 - I ordered 2 minutes BEFORE sales went live Minday night lol. Interestingly it arrives tomorrow. Bravo DJI. I Have Air 3 and Mavic 3 Pro, but this great. The Mini 3 Pro looks abd works like an engineering mule or proof of concept- where the 04 powered Mini 4 Pro looks and Flys like a full Production Model.
It's tough upgrade for someone who has the Mini 3 Pro. If your coming from the Mini 1 or Mini 2, it's a lot easier decision. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
Good morning Shawn ! Glad to see another new video on the ⚠DJI Mini 4 Pro ! - going to grab a coffee and start watching ! As always I appreciate your videos ! They are well done ! Thank you. 🙂
Man, that's tempting! Just enough improvement over the 3 that it's hard to resist. Maybe I'll wait for the Mini 5 Pro next year. The one feature I'd most like to see added to all their drones is a Dynamic Homepoint selection. The drone already knows where the controller is. It wouldn't be difficult to have it return to your current location, if you selected that option. Could have a Return-and-hover option on top of that so you could take over when it has come back.
Love your videos, sir. If you own the Mini 3 Pro, you probably won't upgrade. If you suffer from FOMO, and you need the latest and greatest, you probably will! I'm coming from the Mini 2 - excellent drone - I didn't buy the Mini 3 Pro, I don't suffer from FOMO, and i don't need the latest and greatest. My Mini 2 has served me well, time for something a little bit better, ordered the Mini 4 Pro yesterday with all the bells and whistles. I'm giving my Mini 2 to a good friend because I absolutely dislike kit collecting dust!
If you use this for active track when doing sports - skiing or mountain biking- 1. Without having to carry the controller - eg locked to the phone App only? 2. Do these drones now have barometric sensors so that they descend with you in Active Track, unlike the old Mavic Air which remained at a fixed altitude which was no good for downhill sports? I have a Skydio2 which does all the above, but could upgrade if these boxes are ticked on the Mini 4 Pro?
Fantastic upgrades! What the mini 3 pro should have been, rather than releasing incremental upgrades. Nearly perfect but do wish it had 120fps and they should have increased the nits on the controller. I wonder if their 10bit codec is 4:2:2 🤔
You always do great reviews, Shawn, and this is no exception. I currently own the Mini 2, Mini 3 Pro, and the Air 3, so I will have to pass on this for now. I would like to have the Mini 4 Pro, but can’t really justify it. Thanks for all the content you provide.
The only down side to all of the new DJI drones in the last year is that it is now extremely difficult to judge when to jump in & purchase/upgrade. The Mavic 3 is almost 2 years old. Does this mean that within another 12 to 18 months we will see the Mavic 4......and therefore the start of an entirely new cycle of Mini and Air models within the 18 months following that?
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
People going NUTS on DJI Forum begging for Active Track 360 for Air 3. I counted a dozen threads, sling with petitions and straight up pleading, lol. I am sure you thought the same Shawn. I know I did, abd was disappointed Monday's FW update was mostly AR Homepoint stuff. Cool, but could be cooler!
I am not upgrading. I would like the features in the Mini 4 but the current limited my use of my Mini 3 would not justify the expense. If DJI offered a generous trade in deal, like Samsung do for their phones, then I might consider it. Otherwise the Mini 3 is more than adequate. Of course we now know that in a year there wil be a mini 5.... I will wait for that as regulations may also change in the UK.
Was this screen with advanced rth recorded on mini4? The reason i ask is that they say it is limited 120m due to c0 and there was this workaround before to set rth to 500m and then it would go up there...
I see alot of talk about the mini 4 pro being locked at a max altitude of 120 m in EU and that dji also plan on nerfing the mini 3 pro from 500 m to 120 m? ...
My logic is that whatever number product of an item I have , I skip the next one and then usually go to whatever comes after that , that way I never have the buyers remorse of feeling like I wasted my money 😂 So I will see you guys on the next video for the 5
ONE reason NOT to buy the Mini 4 Pro right now IF u want to use any of your DJI goggles. It is NOT compatible with any of the goggles. Strange that not one of these reviews on the Mini 4 Pro mentions this. Since all goggles are considered illegal to use in the US except if the drone is ALWAYS in direct line of sight and with a spotter, or drone parks, could this be a way of DJI quietly not doing any firmware upgrades on the 4Pro to adapt to any of the goggles intentionally to downplay the use of them?
Thank you for the video, but please work on the sound levels before uploading the video....OR SPEAK UP MAN! I can't hear *** w vol levels all the way up!
1 reason not to upgrade: BUDGET It is impossible to keep up with all the new drones unless you get them for free a few weeks before the official launch...
Really, all of you , you tubers suddenly came with a new video of the mini 4 a few minutes after Dji's announcement. That mean that all of you received the drone before, made a sweety video and released the video in time as Dji command you. So what do I expect from you? Your suggestion is the words of Dji. If you had buy the mini 3 pro with your own money, no way you will buy the new mini 4. There was a big difference between the mini 2 and the mini 3 pro. The mini 4 is 95% the same as the mini 3 pro. People are not stupid, they work hard for their money.
360 obstacle avoidance active track (at least 30% better), from 12km to 20km range (70% better range), waypoints... it's not a small difference. But if you can't afford it, deal with it..
@@axiomic Sorry for your answer, if I have the budget or not th8s isn't issue (I can buy more then one). The improvements of the mini 4 aren't gonna being use for most of the users.if you are among the users of the mini drone, those who have the mini 3 pro use them as the mini 2. Most of the benefits of the 3 isn't applied. A piece of technology that cost around 1000$ can be use for more years then one. Improvements of the technology is not a reason to spend another 1000$. For example, No one buys a new dishwasher just because a new model is in the market.
@@avnerkish9661 I have the mini 3 pro too and will unlikely upgrade. But the improvements are quite good, and my comment states why it's much more than a 5% improvement as you suggested. Also, it cannot be compared to a dishwasher, as a dishwasher has one basic function: clean the dishes. A drone has multiple functions and requirements.
Waypoints. Active Track 360 - Night Mode, O4. Planed on a base model but got 92% back on Mini 3bPro on Ebay! I ordered 2 minutes BEFORE sales went live Monday night lol. Interestingly it arrives tomorrow. Bravo DJI. I Have Air 3 and Mavic 3 Pro, but this great. The Mini 3 Pro looks abd works like an engineering mule or proof of concept- where the 04 powered Mini 4 Pro looks and Flys like a full Production Model. They added AR Homepoint on Air 3 Monday. But no pulses in the RTH BEAM! What gives DJI?

Thank you for the very informative review. Straight to the points, no unnecessary blabla. As usual. Bravo.

I had my Mini 3 Pro belly up in a foot of water a couple of weeks ago but it still lives so no upgrade for me yet. I love that thing!
yeah mine also survived submerged in a foot and a half of dam water.. rescued it within a few minutes and it dried out ok for the next day.
Still not convinced to upgrade from M3P to MP4. I'll just wait to M5P!
Precise and to the Point !! Thanks a lot for this informative video Shaun.
My pleasure!
I held off from the 3, but I can't resist the mini 4. Can't wait to fly it!
Love your videos, sir.

Very good info on the new drone and I am definitely interested in upgrading after seeing your clear cut vid 👍
As an experienced user may I ask On a scale 1-10 how easy would this be to whip out at a golf course and follow you playing a hole?
I’m wondering if it’s work it buying the mavic 3 now this is out.
If you use this for active track when doing sports - skiing or mountain biking-
1. Without having to carry the controller - eg locked to the phone App only?
2. Do these drones now have barometric sensors so that they descend with you in Active Track, unlike the old Mavic Air which remained at a fixed altitude which was no good for downhill sports?
I have a Skydio2 which does all the above, but could upgrade if these boxes are ticked on the Mini 4 Pro?
After seeing this yesterday the 360 protection alone is worth the upgrade. Great content
Fantastic upgrades! What the mini 3 pro should have been, rather than releasing incremental upgrades. Nearly perfect but do wish it had 120fps and they should have increased the nits on the controller. I wonder if their 10bit codec is 4:2:2 🤔
Thanks for your presentation , always so well done!
i bought the mini 3 pro on the 20th lol. thank goodness it was still within the return window!
You always do great reviews, Shawn, and this is no exception. I currently own the Mini 2, Mini 3 Pro, and the Air 3, so I will have to pass on this for now. I would like to have the Mini 4 Pro, but can’t really justify it. Thanks for all the content you provide.
Nice. Time to upgrade from my Mini 2. Looks really good.
I have a Mavic air 2 and have been looking to upgrade. This might be the one.
The only down side to all of the new DJI drones in the last year is that it is now extremely difficult to judge when to jump in & purchase/upgrade. The Mavic 3 is almost 2 years old. Does this mean that within another 12 to 18 months we will see the Mavic 4......and therefore the start of an entirely new cycle of Mini and Air models within the 18 months following that?
Nice report, pithy and to the point. Thanks for sharing.
Nice shots of Newfoundland
I have the Mini 2 SE and the Air2S, I’m on the fence about this one.
best large sd card for the 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?

You're welcome
Was this screen with advanced rth recorded on mini4? The reason i ask is that they say it is limited 120m due to c0 and there was this workaround before to set rth to 500m and then it would go up there...
Question - can the DJI RC I bought with my Mini 3 Pro, work with this Mini 4 Pro?
Ive owned both the mini 3 pro now 4 pro and i would say its not worth upgrading. The sideways sensing and range is only real updates
May I ask a big favour? Would you create a 360 degree panorama and show it to us.
Does active track works on 4k 60fps? Along with HRD all at the same time ?
Yes, indeed it does 👍
Hopefully it supports the goggles integra with motion Controller 2
only 120 m height
I see alot of talk about the mini 4 pro being locked at a max altitude of 120 m in EU and that dji also plan on nerfing the mini 3 pro from 500 m to 120 m? ...
My logic is that whatever number product of an item I have , I skip the next one and then usually go to whatever comes after that , that way I never have the buyers remorse of feeling like I wasted my money 😂
So I will see you guys on the next video for the 5
Can someone verify whether or not one remote control will allow the drone to go further N2 or RC2
Only 14 ???
I have Mavic pro 2, should I get mini pro 4. Don’t know what to do please help me 😂
Same situations! XD
Now confused. Buy the Air 3 or
Mini Pro 4 ???
Mini 3 is good enough
I see 1 good reason not to buy the 4 mini pro in EU is blocked 120m altitude 120 meters max(while the mini2,3 can reach 500m)awful
DJI has lifted that restriction. And you can still get up to 500 m
But it will change in 2024 for all European mini drones. Unfortunately 120m max.

Noisy and quiet
Mini 3 pro has Cruise control for over 1 year, so it is not something new on m4p
Mini 3 pro can go up to 500 m but mini 4 pro can do max 120 m 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for the video, but please work on the sound levels before uploading the video....OR SPEAK UP MAN!

you started a trend with talking with only your hands showing. First one person copied you and now Drone Supremacy is doing it.

I was filming this in an RV. There’s lots of stuff running in the background, unfortunately
