I just bought it...and I am more and more realizing how awesome the Mini 4 is....and that is from someone who has the Mavic 3 pro.
I don't want to be that guy but, the title is throwing me off . You spent over 7 mins saying why the other drones are better . I get what you are trying to do but, watching this makes me feel like the mini 4 pro is not the wrong drone for most of the stuff you may want.
I was thinking the same.😂
Yeah I just stopped watching
Whatever the newest drone is the GOAT basically.
@@flywrightdrones newest and most expensive
Reverse psychology, or should I say dronechology
Impressed. DJI’s Mini 4 Pro is a little beast. I went on a boat trip in the Caribbean and flew it in steady 19mph winds to film. The Mini 4 stayed in place and canted about 45 degrees into the wind while providing stable video. Plus it’s pretty quiet.
Man! I have the Mini 3 pro and every time the image quality blow my mind!
Thank you Billy. Greetings from Portugal. Another great video. Congrats!🎉
I just walked in the door with the Mini 4 Pro. SO EXCITED. I've had the Spark, Mini, Mini 3 and now the 4. Looking forward to see how good it really is.
Mini 4 Pro is my first and only drone and so far I am blown away by what it is capable of doing. As DJI says, it’s “Mini but mighty” :)
There really isn't a completion at this level
In comparing the mini 4 pro and the phantom 4 pro, Mr. Billy suggests that the mini is all around better (minus wind stability) while being many times smaller. I just want to highlight that the phantom 4 pro has a 1" sensor, a shutter for taking photos without rolling shutter issues, and an adjustable aperture. These are significant , and in my opinion, shouldn't haver been omitted from the Phantom 4's strengths.
A rolling what!? 😳
@@levielliott4673 lol, Oops!
exactly, the images are way better out of a P4P...
Hi Billy. I can't imagine the mini 5 pro getting two camaras but I can see it getting the gimbal and camera from the Pocket 3. Lovely aerial shots in this video. Best Dave
Incredible shots of the museum in Hull, Quebec and Parliament in Ottawa. Kudos.
I have the mini 4 pro and the air 3. That tandem covers everything! Another great video Billy 👍
Which do you prefer more...the Air 3 or Mini 4 Pro? I'm trying to decide between the two. Currently use a Mini 2 and although it's a great little drone and I am amazed at how good the Mini series drones have come a long way. I'm wondering if I'm missing out with the Air 3? I'm requiring a more professional drone to take on more clients. I feel ashamed bringing the Mini 2 because I feel it's so dainty that it may be inadequate? But it preforms admirably. I'm just wanting for more and I feel the longer battery and two lenses with a larger drone body to withstand wind is what i need. The sensors are the same so the files from the Mini 4 Pro would be just as good? Or the Air 3 files are better because it's more stable in the air and 3x zoom photos are amazing? Let me know when you can.... thanks
Always great content, I am flying the Mini 4 Pro, Mavic 2 Pro and Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 and I have the Mavic Mini. I hardly every use anything other than the Mini 4 Pro, image and video quality is all I need for my Real Estate content and packs up really nice.
we moved from the mini 3 pro to the air 3, and have been considering the mini 4 pro as a backup. Would you still recommend the same bag or possibly different? Great video and overview. thanks for sharing!
Great points!
I think we’re pretty much at the end of the road with drone features mainly due to the 250gm bar…….bigger sensor? Dual lens? Better wind resistance? Longer flight times? They all mean more weight, but I’d be more than happy to be proven wrong 🙂
Yeah and the mini 3 pro already shattered so much in expectations
I'm new to drones, got a mini 3 last year which has been great fun, but I've missed the collision avoidance, tracking etc so I just got the mini 4 pro. I've been watching videos to learn all of the features and how to use them, but it's been great fun so far. Playing around with waypoints and hyperlink really allow you to see the possibilities that even an amateur can create.
The best traveling drone for me
You are so right that is one powerful little drone I'm so glad I purchased it even though I have the Air and the Mavic 3 Pro. Dji has truly been a great drone provider 😊 Thanks Billy as always 👍
I fly the mini 4 pro. It amazes me every time I fly it. Dji really do have to dig deep to improve it. May be wind resistant level 6? Like you say dual cameras? I take my 4 pro everywhere with me! It really is the goat... I fly mine as a hobby so time isn't an issue to me, I do get it with the job you do as I have used the air 3 and it's an absolute beast ripping around! Cheers ian 👍
I have the Air 2S. What do you all suggest, should I sell it and get the mini 4 or wait?
Hey, what are you doing for the road construction job?
The mini 4 is a brilliant drone. I have several drones. I will always
Mostly use the mini 4 it has great Capabilities.
I really love the great features of my Mini 4 Pro. It's my favorite drone so far.
Awesome video as always Billy. I've been on the fence on the Mini 4 pro but I feel you just sold it to me. I don't carry along my Mavic 3 anymore as it's just too big and heavy to fit in my small bag.
Was thinking at the beginning of the video “why isn’t the mini 4 pro his go to done?”. But you went on to explain that. Great video. The Mini 4 Pro is a beast for its size. It is great for my limited photographic capabilities. But I now understand why pros like you would reserve the Mini 4 Pro as your backup.
Great video!
I don't have any dji drones, but i'm looking to buy one. I am looking at the Mini 4 Pro and the Avata 2. Any recommendations?
My daily work horse is the air2s seems just to be a great drone. I’ve got a mini 3 pro as backup and for vertical shots for TikTok and real estate videos. Three years on the air2s.
The little Mini 4 is awesome!
I've had my M4P for a month now and I haven't even scratched the surface of its capabilities. I'm still having too much fun flying around my house and neighborhood 😂. I have to learn how to properly adjust the camera.
Happily flying the Mini 3 Pro and not contemplating an upgrade before Mini 5 Pro. Would love a 70mm lens but for myself travel, compactness, and stealth are of primary importance.
I can’t figure it out on how to make pictures or take them out
Good video Billy
I’d like the mini 4 pro to display wind speed and give more control over the low battery controls similar to the Mavic 3 enterprise
We just got the Mini 4 Pro yesterday, looking to see what experienced flyers have to say.
Congrats, though it's typically a better idea to hear opinions of experienced owners pre, not post purchase lol.
I'd have loved to have the 2 lenses of the Air 3, but the Air 3 is closer in folded size to the Mavic 3 Pro than it is to the Mini 4 Pro. I couldn't justify carrying around a drone that big so I went for the Mini. If they could figure out how to get the Air 3 successor smaller, or a Mini 5 with the lenses and sensor sizes of the Air 3, that'd be incredible.
can you review the Specta Air Drone which many believe is just a dji drone with a different name?
I’ve never invested in a mini drone. I started with the Phantom 4 and I took that drone everywhere. In and out the states, etc. So drones like the Air, Air 2 and Air 2s were small enough. I purchased all 3 upon release. The fact that Air 2s has a 1” sensor made it my go to drone. It’s not much bigger than the mini lineup but can handle wind a lot better.
With that said, the Mini 4 Pro is so impressive that I might have to get it. I’m planning a trip this summer that will consist in full days of hiking, exploring, etc. And with the growth off my vlogging equipment, my backpack is at it’s heaviest. I’m thinking of putting together a super lightweight backpack. Replace my Sony mirrorless with the DJI Pocket 3 and the Air 2s with the Mini 4 Pro 🤔.
you should try the mini 4 pro. I have the mini 3 pro and it has been a champ since I got it. The only thing is the mini 3 pro has D-Cine and mini 4 has d-log and night mode. In fact I also have the air 2s and Mavic 3 pro so I have 3 drones to use depending on the weather and with roof inspections that I do I may start using my mini 3 pro again as I have the pro remote that has 3rd party app support for my roof inspection business. That way there I do not make much noise and have neighbors trying to tell me that I can not fly over their property. The mini series will be my go to for when I want to fly in peace.
@@Joe-wk9ow Yeah, I think you’re right. The Mini 4 Pro would be a great addition to my gear. My friend that owns the Mini 4 pretty much said the same thing about flying without disturbing the Karen’s. That’s a huge plus.
I wish you all the best with your business. Thanks for sharing your experience.
✌️😎
Hey Billy, I'm flying the Mavic 3, DJI FPV, Avata and just got the Mini 4 Pro a few days ago but haven't flown yet but it'll be used tomorrow, I'll take it up my local mountain and put it through it's paces.
Anything?
@@NathanealArmstrong ?
What were your findings from going up into the mountain tops and carrying it through the paces
@@NathanealArmstrong it's fantastic and can handle the wind well, but putting it out over water or really strong gales I'd still use the Mavic 3
@DroningaboutIreland Ok I understand! Over the water is a lot more risk!
Im having a problem with a little green dot while facing the sun on my mini 4 pro.....it shows up in my video as well....took it back to bestbuy 3 times and still get that annoying little green dot...!!!! How do i fix this issue
This is a normal thing for this camera, it's just sun glare and you have to change your shooting angle slightly to avoid it or just embrace it. You can probably edit it out in post but it'll be way more effort than its worth.
@@JustinBainbridgeYT thank u so much.....freakin no one could give me a straight answer.....I literally brought ot back to bestbuy a few times and traded for new drone...only to see it over and over.....since this post I've found changing elevation usually solves the issue!!! Thanks again
What happened to that Air 3 leg?? It looked bent? lol Love your videos Billy!!! I'm tossed in deciding between the Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro. I have a Mini 2 now and that works great even without the latest features...but i would like something more professional (for paid work). I'm not 100% sold on the Mini 4 Pro yet. I enjoy the Mini 2 and believe the Mini series are great but am I missing out on my potential by not using the Air 3??
Question!! I’m looking at buying the mini 4 pro fly more plus combo, I know it has to be registered due to the larger batteries is there any cons to that? Also someone told me at that point where it needs registered, that if I bought smaller batteries later on I couldn’t use them in the USA because the rid doesn’t work with the smaller ones and they need to cuz it’s registered??
Mini 4 pro Remote ID is not turned on with the 250g battery. No registration required. Pretty stealthy operation. The 250g batteries has good run time.
Mini 4 pro Remote ID is on when using the larger battery. Registration is required. Once registered might as well get the Fly more Plus combo. More fly time and less hectic 'have to land before the battery dies'.
Legal beagle stuff - you'll probably want to put a Strobe on for night flying. Strobe puts the drone weight over 250g. Registration time. Also an Australian drone flying uses Strobes to prevent Bird attacks. I have had Crows and Hawks go at the Mini pro. Not a lot but wth, Ever see the Movie 'The Giant Claw". XD
@@Kntfst but once it’s registered you legally can’t use the smaller batteries ? If I bought some down the road to have as extra?
Love how this guy just owns more drones than i dream of 🥺
I'm finally decided to buy mini 4 pro after my mavic mini somehow unable to pair.
No complain so far! It can record in HLG so I can upload HDR content on my channel.
Will be crazy if DJI can add additional lens for the next mini, 3x or 5x 😂
Dear Billy, The P4pro has a global shutter with a 1 inch sensor which is good for 3d mapping as well. Just needed to add that. (Also the P4pro can tale 3rd party mapping apps)
Hi from Tampa. I realize this is an off topic but it’s just a thought I had.
In my mind when it comes to scenic drone footage, you are tops! I have enjoyed so many of your posts over the years. Have you ever considered a compilation of say, 40-50 minutes of your best work, putting it on a DVD and selling it from your site? “Billy’s Greatest Hits!”
Maybe you could do a USA travelogue starting in Hawaii and working back east with a segment from all 50 states in the Union. (and, of course, D.C.)
You would also include background music to enhance the various clips. It would be quite educational, somewhat patriotic and something many Social Studies teachers would love to present to their middle and high school students. “O beautiful for spacious SKIES and amber waves of grain….”
Of course when it’s finished I will be the first to order a dozen or so of the DVD’s to give as presents to my many nieces and nephews.
Keep up the great work you do. It’s really helped me over the past 5 years from Spark to the Mini Pro 4.
thoughts on AVATA 2?????
I’m still feeling my way around the mini 4 pro but it’s an awesome drone! I will still get the air3 and Mavic3 pro but for starting out business wise it’s a more than solid drone!
Thanks, Billy. Great info. I like the larger drones for wind, and I live on an island in the Canadian Atlantic. 😀 PS. You need to visit.
So good they even geofence the park!
Wow, did you get permission/SFOC for flights in no-fly zone near the Parliament?
Nice drone 🤝
Thanks for another great video. You always do a great job.
The Hoodie is FIRE!!
I hear it's a favorite of the LGBTQ crowd... Hahaha!
@@londenard 🤣🌈
I am also wondering what could be added to the mini 5 pro. This thing is packed. I can imagine a slight bump in camera quality, maybe more resolution, fps, better lowlight and DR. But rather than that its already a prefect little drone. Sold my Air2s to get it and never looked back.
how about telephoto, cell phones has it why not mini?
7:30 Hallo from Ottawa to you! :)
Having had Mini2 as backup to my Air2S ... It was used for urban areas etc. Fast forwards 2yrs - The Air3 ... Took over perfect for Ireland's windy coastline. I sold up, ready to embrace FPV. But I'm an aerial & terrestrial photographer at heart. Avata 2 doesn't quite cut it. Now I'm on the fence.
Buy a Mini 4 Pro ... Or rebuy an Air 3 ... Or wait for something new to be released!
Nice video
But due to f1.7 quality is good and 360 obstacles vertical cam battery timing but in 45°C it can't survive
Love all your shots filmed in my home town of Gatineau/Ottawa in Canada... I fly there all the time and you gave me some great new ideas for different angles like on top of the museum roof. I couldn't help noticing that you were flying in the no fly zone of the parliament. I'm surprise you didn't see the Royal Canadian Mounted Police looking for you on their horses. They would probably ask you to land your drone polity and let you go with a warning and a big smile. Not sure it would be the same if I was flying near the White House in Washington. 😅
20 on a scale of 1-5 style points for the staircase, point of interest shot!
Badd A**!!
Mini 4 is a beast. It’s like a jack Russell in the dog world. Small but a heart of a lion. Love it!
Billy!!!!
Thanks for the video! It would be awesome if DJI can add compatibility with RC Pro for Mini 4 Pro, Air 3 and any new "Pro" drones.
But RC Pro uses O3…M4P and A3 both use O4, how would they make it compatible?
@@MaximoJoshua RC Pro supports extended module like 4G cellular dongle, it could add O4 module/dongle with firmware updates if available
@@MavicAir2TW that would make sense, would definitely require new hardware I think. I think they’ll just add an RC Pro 2 with the Mavik 4 Pro.
Great video…..agree that the dji MP4 is an excellent drone! Probably not the GOAT though. Looking forward to see if dji can improve upon the cameras in a possible MP5. 🚁👍🏻😎
That baby sensor on the minis… you didn’t mention that. The phantom probably has better image quality because it has a 1 inch sensor.
Mini 4 pro refinements is impressive. Mini 3 pro I have is my most Fun to fly. When things get more complex the Mini 4 pro is my choice. By the RC2 display the Mini 4 Pro has more sensitive avoidance system. I appreciate upward avoidance senors, as it is nerve racking with the Mini 3 Pro. RC2 weak signal display has less freeze screen. Still haven't used much of the features on either Mini 3 or Mini 4 pro yet.
The Mini 3 pro stopped working a day after flying through a rain drizzle mist. So I bought the Mini 4 Pro to keep flying. After a week the Mini 3 pro dried out and started to work fine. Now I have two working Drones and both get used nearly everyday. Like having your first cup of coffee, its having a look around seeing whats going on.
idk i could fit my drone in the pocket 😮😮i have the same bag in grey. Best bag ever!!!!!!
Better, faster optical avoidance. better,faster Active Tracking (cable cam with tracking POI, group follow etc. )
Are you hiring Billy? I just got my 107 and am willing to relocate. ❤❤❤
Film the next face with the m4p...just a thought.
If you like the Mini 4 then I would say the Air 3 is the best drone made so far. Faster, better in wind, longer battery life, more range, telephoto 2nd camera and it just looks sexy.
If DJI would make the RC pro compatible with the Mini 4 pro I would buy one, until then I will stick with the Mini 3 pro as it saves carrying the additional remote.
One of the best drones ill be honest
....
Dude the thieves gonna be rich if they stole your big black pack 😅
Also I remember those days when I fly my phantom 4 and my neighbor from miles away know that I fly that big bad boy again 😂
The Mini 4 pro is the best drone ever made
How or where did you get permission to fly above the Canadian Museum of History and all around Ottawa and Hull?
The Air 3 can look up just like the mini 4pro
Lapore at the shore
Yessir
You have so many drones...please give me one ,sir 😊
Mini 4 is gOod although compared to air 2s little downgrade in air resistance and minor video and picture quality
Hi 👋
Dji need to make a drone that is lighter than the air but heavier than the mini pro …. Around 400grams …
My drone is broken. I will be greatly benefited if you help me with any drone. Please sir help me !🙏
Mini 4 Pro is the best drone I've had. I usually fly in urban settings, where there are people, and it being small, light and quiet without giving up image quality means that I think it's better than the larger drones.
IMO, the "cost" of the larger drones is not in the price, but in the weight and size. Taking them on an airplane is more complicated, taking them on a road trip is more complicated, setting them up and taking off around a statue in a town square is more complicated. The one benefit of the bigger drone is extra cameras, but I have a flying camera...i can just fly closer for most shots where I want to be closer to the subject, although you don't get that background compression.
I definitely think that the Mini 4 Pro is so good that it really makes the Air 3 redundant...if I was going to take the hit on size and weight, I might as well just get the Mavik 3 Pro Cine. That way I get 3 cameras, and an even more powerful drone. Most importantly, you don't get ProRes and DLog until you get the Mavik 3 Pro Cine. So, you can get the same image quality as the Air 3 in the Mini 4 Pro, or you can get some better codecs and picture profiles using the Mavik 3 Pro Cine.
I had 2 Mini 3 Pro's, and I think it is just an amazing upgrade to the Mini 4 Pro.
The same specs are not in Mini 4 pro - what a dumb thing to say....the P4P had a mechanical shutter and one inch sensor and variable aperture. The images are way better.
Haae, don't be mean. I still fly my Phantom
You need to ask your mom to make some chicken noodle soup. You obviously have a sinus cold.😮
if youre looking for mini 4 pro content press next, none here
The biggest question is do you always talk like you're on X4 speed in every single conversation? Ha, ha, ha.
What happens when the government grounds them all?
For me, not a damn thing, I'll keep flying them. I never registered my phantom 4 pro and I still fly it regularly, though a majority of my flying is done on/over private land. My closest neighboring landowner is over 3 miles away and he couldn't care less about me flying a drone. He's also the kind of person that would self-immolate before contacting or seeking the assistance of any government agency, so there isn't much opportunity for someone to "tip hotline" my ass. I just got the mini 4 pro plus delivered on Thursday and I do not plan on registering it nor will I be broadcasting any remote ID. The FCC and FAA can kiss my ass.
Drone..........
keep line of sight my ass, no one does that including you.
This cant be. The left has told me how evil capitalism is, and would never be able to provide us with such an improved design.
Do You Realize How Good The Mini 4 Pro Is? I do, but not by watching your poor show.
So go away, troll.
Mini drones suck. Get caught in the wind 1 time or a storm you'll see why. Mini drones seem like toys to me. I've tried them all and I don't like them. They r sloooooow and weak and shake too much. They r great if they wad wad only thing that existed but at least a 500 gram or larger drone is what most would consider professional and strong
Try talking a little slower please, add pauses too. It’s annoying and I can’t watch any more! Sorry!
Go into "Settings" located at the lower right side of your screen. Under "Playback speed" adjust it to .75. See how that works.
Your flogging a Dead Horse - DJI is So Restricted its just Not worth buying.
Mini 4 pro is a ok drone. But its just a mini 3 pro with 360 ao. I'll wait for the mini 5 pro and hope they add dual camera for zoom lens. At least 7x optical.
I think if you own a DJI drone you will soon be subject to arrest and prison.
I've got Five, so how long a sentence will I get? 🤔
Yeah, Congress concerned about National security. Have tried a few times to make Chinese manufactured Drones banned for everyone. The DJI RC would probably stop working because of the ban.
Government agencies already have bans using foreign made drones.
Anyrate it would sux for a general public ban. DJI drones are excellent.
Mini 4 pro has an option to turn of sharing flight records. The flight records is still retained in the RC2 memory. Mini 3 pro doesn't have this option to turn off sharing. Maybe DJI is seeing the writing on the Wall.
Maybe Dji anything would be the GOAT if the customer actually owned the product they bought. Nothing like buying something then be required to plug it into a snitch device! And be dictated to on when and where you can use it.
Imagine buying a car that only works when “they say” you’re allowed to drive it. Well that’s coming too.
