DJI Mini 4K Unboxing & First Flight - Is This The Best Drone for Beginners?

[@matttay9937]

Finally someone who actually shows footage/audio of the drone flying so we can see how loud/quiet it is! THANK YOU!

[@swissgamerzchannel2035]

I picked this drone up recently (new drone operator) and honestly go with the more fly combo options. It has 2 extra batteries + charger, the cable to connect to the remote to phone, extra flaps in case one breaks, And an awesome saddle bag to carry around with you on trips 😁DJI really outdone themselves with this one and a great drone for beginners.

[@WayneClark-j1c]

Just bought this in the flymore combo with 3 batteries for £319 on Amazon prime day. Great price & can't wait for it to turn up tomorrow!

Isn't this the DJI Mini 2 drone rebranded? Am I missing something here?

[@Laerei]

Yesn't. Yes, it has the same body and pretty much everything as Mini 2 does. But it has 4K camera, which Mini 2 doesn't. So yesn't.

​@@LaereiYour getting confused with the mini 2 se, the mini 2 has 4k so the mini 4k IS a rebranded mini 2

Top notch review! I'm in NJ and I when I heard Schuylkill River, it was like old home week! My drone will arrive in the next few days. I played around with a few of those cheap Chinese toys, and I knew I needed something better. Your excitement tells me I made a good choice. Thanks for a really useful review!

But I must say the built quality is better and more compact on the Mini 4k than the Mini pro models joints seem fragile on those long arms in a crash maybe Dji will add the screen controller to the Mini 4k

Hello there. Quick question, can this be flown indoors? I like to practice within my home..... Thank you for the video, by the way. It's quite informative.

[@Laerei]

Any drone can be flown indoors. But since this drone does not have proximity sensors on it, meaning it can't detect and avoid walls and other objects on it's own like Mini 3 and 4 can, I do not recommend flying it indoors.

@@Laerei thank you for the reply.

Another awesome video. I think this is a good drone to recommend to my friends who are just getting into the hobby. My question is, do the DJI entry-level drones, such as the Mini 4K, have all of the same automated photo and video features as the mid-level and higher end drones. For example all of the "Quick Shots", "Mastershots" & various pano photo capabilities, etc.

I heard that the controller that comes with the Mini 4k only works with the Mini 4k and not the other DJI's but my Air 2 remote will work with it as well. Are there advantages to using this one with the Mini 4k vs. the one I have with my Air 2?

[@SAUCE206]

Can you fly this drone with the phone only or does it have to have the remote? I see you can fly the FIMI X8 mini v2 without the remote. Just curious if you need the remote to fly. Seems kinda cumbersome to have if you’re running and using the tracking
