DJI Mini 4 Pro - Best Drone for 2024?

[@TheRailwayDrone]

I really need to take a drone photography class because I have no idea about some of the stuff you're talking about. But this drone is fantastic. Had it for a few months now and I love it.

[@bhouse92101]

I nearly bought a Mini 4 Pro before I left for Australia just to be safe, but decided to stick with my Air 3. Had zero issues with customs or TSA traveling with it and caught some nice footage in some high wind environments. For that reason I prefer the Air 3.

[@FlytPath]

Thanks for sharing. Ya it's always hit or miss on how international airports will handle drones. Hope you got some awesome content.

[@thewowsages]

Hey man, been watching you since your review of the first dji mini. I finally made the jump yesterday and ordered a mini 4 pro. Your info is pertinent and easy to follow for the beginners. Keep up the good work.

[@AjaySingh-228]

I completely agree that the Mini 4 Pro is a fantastic choice for a travel drone. It's small, light, and the battery life is amazing. Being able to stay under the 250g weight limit is a game changer, especially when traveling to places with restrictions Sir.

[@FlytPath]

Totally agree!

[@craig_Dronepilotsqld]

Great video again mate! I upgraded to the Mini 4 Pro from the Mini 2 and it's an amazing drone no doubt. I also have the Mavic 3 Pro too and find the signal strength I get from the Mini 4 is far superior to the M3P. Such an awesome drone. Only way to improve on it would be to eventually get a 1" sensor but apart from that it's a beast.

[@FlytPath]

Awesome to hear your experience.

[@Lunafilms12]

Lol, I just got this drone today. The reason I got it is because I am going to Mexico next week and I could not take my mavic 3 pro because of the weight. Great video. Thanks!

[@carlstunna1182]

True. It I will let you know. I have been to Mexico and all around the EU with my Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 pro. Had no issues what so ever with customs. Not saying it doesn’t happen. But I haven’t had any issues to date. But from a space/weight perspective there is no comparison with the smaller lineups

[@RonaldBrown59]

The DJI Mini 4 Pro is first great Mini drone. And I agree, it's packed with useful features. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Excellent video. The Mini 4 Pro might be my first mini DJI drone 🤔.

[@MrEddieNunez]

First! I also fly my Mini 4 Pro the most out of my fleet.

[@dallasc.hunteriii490]

Great video, The DJI MINI 4 PRO is a fantastic drone, my DJI MINI line of drones are great drones.

[@ZakariasChronicles]

Waiting for your Dji Avata 2 review! 😁 The leaks look promising! 🤩

[@archangel1221]

What the name/product of the high cap battery. Upgrading from a Mavic Mini to a Mini 4 Pro. Would like to include one in my order. Does the drone recognize when it’s gone over the 250g limit (like when a heavier battery is installed) and self-regulate or is that just something you need to be caught doing to worry about.

[@Twobarpsi]

Mini 4 for so many reasons!!

[@AppleShortss]

Mini 4 pro and air 3 I bounce back forth with the 2 of them for filming and just flying

[@grumpyclark]

Brilliant review, very many thanks

[@TheGhostPlanet]

Would you consider upgrading from the mini 3 pro to the mini 4?

[@TheMaan2008]

Yess!

[@DPjalan2]

I bought it a couple of months ago and very satisfied with its transmission performance and camera quality. What I really like is now it can shoot in 10bit HLG, finally I can upload HDR10+ videos on my channel. I hope future action cameras can also shoot in HLG. Still learn to color correct an HLG footage though, any tips on it?

[@WillEDC]

I can’t believe I’m still using a Mavic pro and Mavic mini 1. Maybe I will consolidate and get the next mini. It’s hard. A lot of travel places I find are a bit sketchy for drone flight of any weight. And every year we lose fly space in Singapore. I may just give it up

[@VirtousStoic]

I hope they migrate some festured from the air to the next model of the mini. And night lights, yes it shortens battery life but good to have, and handle wind better. Fantastic drone though.

[@flywrightdrones]

I wouldn’t know I’m still flying the Mini 3 Pro!

[@femiomomo4467]

Thanks 😊

[@scottgreathouse1588]

I use Lightroom classic to edit stills but would like your recommendation on video editing software. Premier Pro?

[@uncletj1]

This drone popped my cherry and I love it

[@FlytPath]

😂

[@Vanderful_life]

is there ANY custom restriction for mini pro around the world when taking a plane flight?

[@FlytPath]

Most of the time just bring your batteries as a carry on.

[@MaximoJoshua]

mini 4 pro is basically only drone you need, anything bigger must offer some really amazing benefits and the air 3 just doesn't offer enough to justify the size and weight. The video quality is identical (literally same camera) on the air 3, but you get an additional camera. Until you get to something that actually offers real DLog, there is not a huge upgrade in quality. I hate dlog-m, hlg is a lot better, and also 10 bit, and lets you easily match footage. I recently, from my apt, flew my mini 4 pro 4+ kilometers away to get video of our office building to help out the marketing dept. The range is just amazing, and the video quality is perfect. They were super happy with the quality. Then someone else asked me to help out with a project where they are putting a sign on a building, i was able to live stream another office building so they could discuss sizing and location, again without leaving my apt. I view the Air 3 as a downgrade...

[@FlytPath]

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@femiomomo4467]

Have you ever had the mini 4 overheat? as I live in 40 to 45 degrees C°/ 114°F heat (Spain) and I do a lot of aerial panoramas in a sphere so the drone is in one spot for a while. If it overheats while takin0g shots this maybe an issue. If this maybe an issue should I choose the Air 3?

[@FlytPath]

I get a heat warning if it’s just sitting on a table on for a while. But goes away once I move the drone

[@ispty]

If this would be my first drone would it be a good choice??!

[@FlytPath]

Absolutely. But if you are on a tighter budget the Mini 3 Pro is perfect.

[@sibertiger17]

How was getting it inro Mexico bud? I thought you weren't allowed to fly in Mexico at all unless a Mexican resident? Do you have to register or apply for anything? Is there risk of having it confiscated?

[@FlytPath]

Didn’t have any issues, but also didn’t press my luck.

[@theestate12]

DJI'd all over Ensenada. No problem.

[@sibertiger17]

@@FlytPath did you just carry it carry on luggage and they didn't say anything at the border? No one bothered you when flying?

[@theestate12]

Hey, Cecret Lake and Snowbird aren't in Mexico. Think on this. Between new DJI products, and instead of tripod, chargers, and camera bag reviews, think of outlining and presenting a video project. San Diego must have a lot of interesting sights. You have shown the library, temple, and coastline. I understand the zoo, sea world, and docked battleships are a few local wonders. How about using your skills to show your plan to capture such wonders. (Even a great hotel.) What time of day. What drone is best for the project. When aerial captures are best. When ground captures are best. What tools: point of interest, hyperlapse, track, spotlight, 1x, 3x, 7x, elevation, speed, follow mode, first-person view . Shows the techniques of making the great video from the start. Done buying, still flying. Showing latitude and longitude would be a nice touch for those wanting to see the same wonders. Terrific effort on your channel. Carry on.

[@FlytPath]

Too many questions to answer, but thanks for watching and ideas.

[@3Five2Guy]

So he does reply to messages...... got it

[@daintyminnie9270]

is it illegal to travel with normal drone to mexico? I don't understand why you must keep a low profile. It sound like illegal thing

[@FlytPath]

Just low profile in general, no matter where you go. Having a smaller and quiet drone makes it easier to travel and fly.

[@LegatDeClujLDC]

I wonder when will be released Mini 5 Pro?

[@TheRailwayDrone]

I wonder what types of updates that'll have...it seems the mini 4 has everything (I) needed.

[@LegatDeClujLDC]

@@TheRailwayDrone we don't know what we need, until the product will be available 😔

@@LegatDeClujLDC I know what I need. But I'm also one to upgrade when new tech comes out, regardless.

20 km transmission is a fake. You will not have enough battery.

There’s a video on KZbin of a guy flying his m4P 20 km look it up!!

[@poldo998]

why advertise a drone that doesn't comply with regulations? in this regard lights that turn off in rec and cannot be used at night.

[@olabergvall3154]

What Mini drone does that?

[@poldo998]

Mini 4 pro

[@olabergvall3154]

@@poldo998 no I mean do you know of any sub 250g drone that can do this, and is compliant with night flying and stays under 250g?

[@poldo998]

Mini 2 led accesso , autel nano led accesso

[@jimothy4272]

You don’t need to have the front/head LED’s on at night. In this case, the Mini 4 Pro does not have those, so you’re saying the Mini 4 Pro would not be able to fly at night because of that. But thats not true. You only need an anti-collision strobe light visible from at least 3 miles on top of the drone. It needs to be active during the whole flight, and needs to be attached when it is civil twilight or nighttime. Civil twilight, according to the FAA, is defined as 30 minutes before official sunrise, and 30 minutes after official sunset. In other words, it’s basically dawn and dusk. Nighttime is everything in between.
