The Mini 3 Pro was already a great value for beginners; this is just a bit of an improvement - with less risk of crashing. Looks fun!
Truuue, I use mini 3. Love it.
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.
I've been watching your cahnnel for a while, on and off. Loving all the recent videos!
pleasant to watch ❤
What a fun video! Subscribed!
amazing didnt see your content for some time now. and seeying you almost at 1mil subs. nice congratulations
pretty cool!
Thanks for the insights. I still have the MA2 with Smart Controller and love it. I can't find a compelling reason to upgrade.
Kai is a superb reviewer. I've been following him for quite a long time,since the beginnig of his DSLR review days in the other channel he worked with.
For a long time I was waiting for a small yet the "perfect" small drone and now that Kai says "Finally it's the best beginner drone", I am going to buy it.
Love DJ DJI!!!!
Cool guys ! ❤😊
Maybe it is just me, but the DJI notification sounds like Macarena is about to start.
Which of course is a selling point.
Haha! I was gonna say the same 😂
Lok at the lock. Any planned updates on how Lok is getting on in the UK? Everything going well, I hope.
thank you
Need more Lok at the lock content, maybe even a first Lok at the lock
Nice 🛩🛩
New Day, New Drone
So which one to buy ????? Air 3 or Mini 4 Pro ?????? Confusing !!!
ha, I've bought two drones so far, both decided to live elsewhere having flown away much like one of those are shots of birds we all have.
How many are they gonna keep making in short time
Here I am watching this and I have a Mavic Air 1 that still rips. I think it is fair to question DJIs product lines now. Why go for anything else with this type of output from the Mini and flight time?
Lok, DJI stock, and three or more B-rolls.
I’m here all week.
Nice GMT.
I kind of noticed the Air 3 was a tad bit sharper on the corners compared to the Mini 3 pro.
Too bad Kai didn't bring a skateboard or other wheels.. Would love to see how auto tracking works on this new DJI
Does the DJI 4 work with Googles and motion control?
Can you clarify the battery times? The Mini 3 Pro is rated for 34 mins, not 38. Thats the non pro Mini 3.
Kai where the bloody hell have you been? I followed you a few years ago then you disappeared.....
Glad I found you again 😊
15:18 moaning about flight time? Think back 10 years to the Phantom mk1 when you had to basically guess how long the 2200MaH battery might last and actually properly keep an eye on your machine to check for the red warning light before it lost power. What DJI have packed into the Mini 4 Pro is nothing short of amazing.
That happened to me with a Phantom 3 Battery low bringing it in to land , Next thing it shot up like the Millennium falcon jumping to light speed into the only tree in a acre site 😭. The only problem now is whether to wait till this time next year and see if the Mini 5pro does 8k 30
Now let me ask you what ON EARTH do you think you’re ever gonna do with 8K? Even 4K is borderline overkill for consumers. I know professional (Hollywood) folk who don’t even see the need for 8K; are you Chris Nolan under a pseudonym? 😂
@@unlokia Well other than I enjoying seeing the highest definition possible and it would be cool to pack that power into a Drone of this size and weight . Now that Dji is more or less the biggest Drone Company I'd rather see a leap in their technology than going Apple . Btw I am Michael Bay 🤐
Wow 这次这么快
it's a heck of a 'beginner' drone, haha. it's definitely more than that, but a fantastic first step because of the price.
Hello Kai, can DJI RC2 control other drones, how it connect, thanks
If you crash it give me a call and I will come to the rescue again! 🤭
As a new AARP member growed up workin, drinkin, shootin, and muddin yall think I could run one these copters? Looks as fun as a night in the barn with my sister
why does CZcams not recommend your videos to me anymore, I am subbed and have notifications on, odd
Hi Kai! Say something about Lumix G9-II?
Target acquired. Tracking subject…. Thanks for your assistance in improving the surveillance society. Cool drone, to be sure!
The 249Gram part is the main selling feature especially if you live in Canada. Otherwise you'll get fined and hassled daily.
I’ll wait until they have on board microphones 😊
One slip of the arm and those drones are in the drink 😂

👏🏻👏🏻💯
Seems like the Mini 3 was just released recently! Wasn’t it ? I’m still using the original Mavic Mini
mini 3 was released nearly 1 year ago
@@luluming yes. Quite recently !
if you turn off all the extra sensors, do you get more flight time?
not measurable. the motors take up most energy.
I’m Christiaan, from South Africa 🇿🇦.
An airline pilot by trade and have recently rediscovered my interest for photography.
Love your honest opinion and open minded reviews and the overall feel of your channel. Keep up the great work.
May I kindly ask for your advise please,
I would like to start posting photos of my flying trips, from the flight deck, to outside the aircraft as well as around the airport and landscapes from the different regions I visits. A cellphone camera I feel is too limiting and a full DSLR is too big, also I want to start a blog and post photos and then sell copies of the photos. So quantity is important and size for prints.
I realize this is a steep order and request.
What type of compact / travel camera would you recommend?
Between canon and say Fuji?
Then potentially only one lens as my first priority is the responsibility of the crew, passengers, the aircraft and safety of the environment so I don’t want to changes lenses etc.
18-55? Might be bulky…
Thank you for your time in reading my email, I look forward to your feedback and suggestions.
Blessed regards
11:05 Some wants to use the lock Lok 😅
They will always remain boys, when together.
Best 'ender' drone too...
It's sad that the image quality is so crunchy with contrast and digital sharpening. I would have this otherwise. 😢
Will the mini 3 pro batteries work on mini 4 pro?
Yes they do! Same charger too
120m highed Limit! Not usable in the mountains anymore😢
I just looked that up and I guess dji just recently updated it to 500m
@@goride365 they did but it will come back soon (at least at 1.1. 2024) in the EU :-/
I’m holding off purchasing this drone(newbie)to let others iron out the inevitable teething issues…Also I’m wondering with a fixed f1.7 aperture, will you be constantly pulling this drone down to change the ND filters during daylight hours?
You can still adjust shutter speed and iso
👍
Lok at a lock.I see what you did there !.
👏👏
Excellent powers of observation. Keep at it.
I was thinking Super Mario Drone while watching this.
so it's pretty much the same exact drone as mini 3 pro
How high can auch a thing fly?
Above the stratosphere
It's mini 4 because 4
Fun fact in Germany you need a special licence to fly a drone over 2kg
Does it finay have a CE marking? Because without it it's pretty much worthless in a few months.
C0, just like the mini 3 pro
It is
But i just bought the mini pro 3 😣
Is this only a beginner drone? Why is it called pro then?
can you exchange the Front legs/arm from pro 3 to pro 4?
Does it work well in Ukraine?
Take one over there and try.
Great review!! Looks like a nice drone for influencers and hobbyists but not a tool for pro's. I will go with the DJI Air 3 or Mavic 3 Pro.
A pro in this case would be someone primarily looking for high image quality sparing no expense. An influencer is more interested in telling a story and image quality is secondary to just getting "the shot".
does the mini 3 pro and mini 4 pro share the same battery?
good question!
It does.
Yes, they do
based on the advice about first drones, I'm guessing that's not Kai's first watch. Unless it's a knock-off...
your audio is very scratchy
Now it's only one question: how many grenades can it deliver to the enemy trench?))
You have to be Ukrainian with a functioning brain to do that. They’re a very resourceful and evidently underestimated people. Слава Украине!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦
camra phon~
nearly a thousand bucks is hardly beginner though.
Why can’t some clever person find a way to fit a SOLAR PANEL to entire top surface, so that if the drone is a long way away and out of battery, it can land for a while and recharge enough to fly back?
Probably coz solar panels charging efficiency is in the mid to low 20's. Even if the drone is fully covered, it will take a full day to get 5 minutes of flight time.
With such a small surface area it would probably take more energy to lift the extra weight of the solar panel than the solar panel would provide, so you would ultimately end up with less flight time.
The shiller's shill on.
Over 1k is not for beginners. 😂😂
Thsi shouldnt be called the mini 4. Shouldve called it mini 3+ or some garbage
It is more of a mini 3 pro+
the mini 3 pro shouldn't even have existed at all.. DJI is just releasing bit by bit features that already existed long ago.. so if you have a m3p, m4p ain't worth upgrading unless it's your starter drone or from mini 2
Yeah from the Mini 3 Pro the upgrade is small, I guess that will be left for the "Mini 4 Pro" but overall nice.
Not sure if it is worth the price hike though, especially since waypoints are supposed to come to the Mini 3 Pro too.
I got the Mini 3 Pro with the 1st gen RC for 729€, just a few weeks ago and would not even be mad if this was just 799€.
14:26 the drone on the right seemed a lot more stable than the left drone. The left drone looks a bit unbalanced or something.
That's exactly what Kai was telling...
Footage wise not much difference the camera gimbal does decent job to stabilize the footage . The Air 3 is a lot more stable in windy condition quite easy to hand launch / catch. Hand catch MINI3 PRO in strong wind can be challenging / dangerous in strong gusty wind.
Locs english is getting worse -- he better move back to hongong
Your grammar and spelling are atrocious. His name is *Lok* - that’s a very unkind and racist remark. Shove it up your 👃
I have one HUGE issue with this drone. Max. height is now limited at 120m due to the new EU regulations starting in January 2024. So that's a huge limit for people that want to fly the drone in the mountains. With the DJI Mini 3 Pro you can still set it at 500m which makes it possible to fly up a hill (while perfectly staying within the 120m AGL laws) and reach the top. With the DJI Mini 4 Pro this doesn't work anymore. If you take off from the valley or somewhere in the middle, you can't fly up to the top. You aren't breaking any laws, the drone will just stop 120m above your take off point. Eventhough you are very close to the ground. Doesn't this make the DJI Mini 4 Pro basically useless for people in mountain regions?
Ig if it's from takeoff point just go for a hike to get higher up
Where did you take this from? I just read through the EU Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947, which is the official publication , and I could not find anything that refers to the starting point. It only refers to 120 m above ground. No special regulation for C1
That’s not true, yes the classification C0 prohibits higher than 120 meters however, the max altitude mini 4 pro can be set at us 500 meters. If you are at a height above 120 meters your altitude will be measured depending on what class area you’re in the ALG will be measured from ground level of home point. Please don’t broadcast incorrect information ask DJI support. I am in US and have safely tested altitude settings higher the 120 meters.
@@Expprods thatˋs what I thought. The same happened a few weeks ago when there was an update for the Mini 3 Pro. Panic and misinformation. You asked DJI, I read the official EU Regulation document both much better sources than those hoaxes.
But in the EU it is 120 metres from home point.
@@Expprods
yeah this is not good content to watch if the goal is to know about the performance of the drone or comparission with the others... what a miss oportunity Kai your content is quite trash nowadays, messing around and showing absolutly nothing about the product.
I hate these payed reviews
The inside leg measurement is my favorite part of drone registration! 🦵
If we have learned anything from marketing it is "if you have to stick something like 'pro' or 'professional' in the product name it is most definetely something that actual professionals would not use"
@@benson5967 You are right, I was thinking more about powertools and the like. Go into any hardware store, and even the cheapest, crappiest tools all say "pro" on them. But you see it less on the "higher end" tool brands. As if the manufacturers specifically want to say "hey, this is cheap, but don't worry, it aint one of those 'amature' tools"
I hear exactly the pretentious aspirations you allude to. However, for another viewpoint, a “professional” is someone *of their profession* - if I became a car washer tomorrow, I’d be a professional car washer, as it’s my profession.
Pedantry aside, yeah, they do it to ego massage people into opening their wallets 😂
£460 for the Fly More kit on the original mini when I got mine in 2020. Now best part of £1000 for the same kit on the new drone. Not exactly beginner prices for this “beginner drone”.
Grow up Carl you fishdick
What is the fly more kit?
Exactly! what is this madness, double the price of the mini 1 fly more kit. Wanted to upgrade my mini 1, not until prices tank!
2 spare batteries, charging hub/power bank, spare props, carry case….
Not to forget the RC II controller!
what a waste of time with all that chatty commentary.
Another poor quality review.
subtitles for the other guy please
You don't need subs for someone who speaks english...
@@larsisaksen his Chinese accent is very strong so it's hard to understand him that's why the dude asked for subtitles.
U racist
It's not racist to ask for clarification if someone is difficult to understand. But on the flipside, I don't think Lok is difficult to understand if you try. And asking for retroactive subtitles on a video that has already been created in a comment does seem like complaining for the sake of complaining. Just try harder.
@@Feintgamespretentious
There’s no 10 bit 4:2:2 😩 Come on DJI, if it’s technically possible, update the firmware please. Then I’ll buy the Mini 4 Pro.
