[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you for smashing that like button, your great comments, and incredible support !

[@cherij8136]

Your first flight was perfect. I got my mini 4 all set to fly for the first time, I hope it goes as well as yours did. I hope to take it out tomorrow morning. 😊

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you ! Keep me posted on how your first flight goes !

[@vinhha6073]

Nice fly Sir but I wonder do this drone have optical avoid at night mode.. I mean if I fly at night

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

No not at night.

[@RonaldBrown59]

The first flight went very smoothly. And I’m glad to the new AR return to home on the new Mini 4 Pro. Great video, and thanks for sharing Bill.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you Ron. I'm really liking the Mini 4 Pro - the video quality is incredible !

[@Jhorne84]

Man that sky is gorgeous!! Perfect for hyper-lapse 😎

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

It really was picture perfect !

[@carlosmoran9957]

Very nice Bill, I wish I have an open area like that close by me.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you ! I'm very fortunate to have this so close to my house.

[@charleshatmaker4425]

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Your welcome !

[@Steve-Cross]

Hi Bill. DJI have another hit on their hands. A great little drone that fills you with confidence, every time you put it up. 👍

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

It sure is Steve. Thanks for the comment !

[@ssb73q]

Hi Bill, good first flight. Nothing like a DJI drone that works like it should right out of the box. My Mini 4 Pro arrives this afternoon, I can't wait to fly it.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Richard thank you. You nailed it - fine right out of the box ! It's so much fun to fly !

[@Matanumi]

Heh not like that first mavic 3 which strangely disappeared eh

[@jburddrone7202]

Nice review Bill 👍

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you Jburd.

[@aearly841]

I would have been too scared to allow it to complete RTH on the inaugural flight. Thankfully all went well. Did it land centrally on the pad?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Yes it did. All landings that day were on the pad.

[@Randomentertainmentz]

Very much impressive I wish my m3 will give me an update for return to home green lines one. Lovely mini boss I salute you. Bill stay blessed and safe all the time Amen 🙏👍 Welbeck here from Accra Ghana west Africa

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you so much. You stay well and be blessed as well !

[@hummerzdca]

Okay I love the RTH feature too, and I even use the bottom light to help locate it at later times of the day. However: How the heck do you get the compass to show, and haven’t seen it in your video, I can’t get the virtual green path to show up either! Where is that setting? Buggin me seriously! See everyone else use it but can’t figure it, must be something obviously simple I bet! Hope you can help, thanks!

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Have you applied all the firmware updates ? AR Return To Home was part of a firmware update.

[@hummerzdca]

@@BillTheDroneReviewer Yeah, that was the first thing I checked. It doesn’t let you continue if you don’t (far as I can see anyway). I’m going to try looking for the change in settings when it’s actually in the air. I found some things won’t allow access except under certain conditions. Will keep trying. Thanks

[@thedroneguy42]

Great drone

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

It really is !

[@thedroneguy42]

@@BillTheDroneReviewer i have a question i was flying my mini 3 pro and I noticed it has waypoints

[@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770]

And the first thing I did was turn all that extra crap OFF! Heck, I dont ever use the Bumper pool sensors either.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you.

[@goodcitizentx]

what happens when you try to go over 400 feet?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

The drone stops. You can see that in my Mini 4 Pro Altitude Test video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYDKimawi7WWarM

[@mhmphotography400]

Your drone sounded very loud. My air 3 is much quieter perhaps it was the mic amplifying the prop sound

[@andraskarsai]

Smaller props spinning faster cause a higher pitched noise that may be perceived as louder.

[@mhmphotography400]

My air 3 uses the same props I believe the mic being so close amplified the sound. Bill what’s your thoughts on this,

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

@@mhmphotography400 Air 3 props and Mini 4 Pro props are completely different. Air 3 props twist on. Mini 4 Pro props need a small screwdriver to take them on and off.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

What your heard were the esc's spinning faster to try to keep the Mini 4 Pro level in the wind - I mentioned several times in the video it was a very breezy day and that the wind picked up during my flight.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you !

[@daves9164]

Which variant is this one?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

It's the DJI Mini 4 Pro.

[@daves9164]

@@BillTheDroneReviewer But which variant is it? There are 4 versions of it Bill.

[@andraskarsai]

​@daves9164 There is 1 drone "variant" - there's 4 different bundles and the only difference is what else is in the box - the drones are all the same.

[@daves9164]

Trying to find out what bundle he used for making this video

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

It is the DJI Mini 4 Pro with the DJI RC 2 Fly More Kit With Extended Batteries amzn.to/3rOeNol

[@ianjones6838]

Great to see you out with this . Love the AR return already enjoy that in my M3P . Wind test is good to see . Do love that landing light , will be handy when the British winter nights hit 👍

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you Ian ! It was a blast. Really impressed how it handled in the wind. Got more videos on the Mini 4 Pro coming out shortly !

[@partone709]

Hey Bill Im wondering what AR return to home is? whats the difference with normal return to home, thanks for any info.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

It plots the entire path back to your home point - even if you are at a different altitude. It also places an "H" in yellow on the screen to tell you where your home point is plus when landing a small drone symbol in black will show you where your drone will land.

[@partone709]

Thanks Bill I should have waited to ask the question till further in the video as your screen shows the green path and the H but thanks for your reply, enjoyed the video keep up the good work. @@BillTheDroneReviewer
