DJI Mini 4 Pro! Introduction and First Flight at The Snake River Canyon

In this video I fly my DJI Mini 4 Pro for its first flight at Dedication Point on the Snake River Canyon. I even found a boat to track upriver. The augmented reality "return to home" feature is off the hook cool. Enjoy the scenery.

I am 66 now, and in my younger days I would do a TON of hiking throughout the west. (I’m from GA) Now that I own and fly the mini 4 I will most certainly head west to film those areas I’ve hiked that I can no longer reach. (Hip replacement & 2 knee replacements) you are VERY fortunate to live in the area you do! And, that was a totally awesome flight! Tracking the boat was very cool. You have a new sub’r, and I love your vids. Thanks for all the tips.

Some traditions are worth keeping! Hey Matty. Testing AT yesterday- Pro Tip - Don't use "fast camera motion" around obstacles- not if you have a week heart, anyway. M4P flew like a champ, but I nearly had a stroke how aggressively it flew around some trees I was hiking past, lol! Hope they port it to Air 3 at least, if not Mavic 3 Pro. Not sure I want the big Flagship flying like that!

Hi Marcus, Thanks for this new awesome video. Did you notice that the boat and the trail drawn on the water made the whole thing look like an astronaut in his white suit? Maybe the drone was intimidated at first when seeing this figure, before tracking it correctly! 😊

It is a good weekend for flying. Managed to do a drone flight at Rose Lake near Couer d Alene today before heading to Lookout Pass and Wallace before heading back. Yeah I live in Spokane Valley now. Used to love in Snohomish until May and moved to Spokane Valley in late June, so I live alot closer to the Idaho Border than I used to. Probably won't be visiting the Boise area anytime soon (would be a lengthy trip there), however the Post Falls and Couer d Alene areas are relatively close by, and I have already found a few good spots to fly at there. Yeah probably won't be upgrading tonthe Mini 4 pro or Air 3 at this time, but I can reconsider those ones at a later time (maybe a year or so from now). Will probably shop for ones with remote id already built in whenever I buy another one.

Nice boat chase at the canyon Marcus! How do they fit all that tech in a mini drone?! Looks like the mini 4 pro is a winner. How is the RC2 compared to the original RC?

How nice of mother nature to flow water over a path of soft minerals to be carried away for many thousands of yaers, leaving a giant chasm to which a man named Marcus (luckily for us) would eventually take up the drone hobby and take aireal footage of this treasure (whch is conveniently located in his State of Idaho) and share its breathtaking beauty with the rest of the world on the new DJI Mini 4 Pro!

[@WestVirginiasBigred271]

When I first purchased my mini 3 pro I just bought the drone with the N-1 controller that came with the original battery that keeps the drone under 250 grams. When flying it in windy conditions I noticed it was having some trouble when flying forward it would drift off to the left side causing me to constantly keep adjusting the yaw so I ordered the fly more kit that I had found with the extended battery plus. When I got the fly more kit I switched the batteries and tested it again and it held the wind much better. Even though it makes the drone over 250 grams it doesn’t matter because I register all my drones anyway. Regardless of weight. After the mini 3 was released I purchased it and it did the exact same thing as the mini 3 pro drifting off in the wind but I started using the heavier batteries with it also. And after that no problems. I actually did a range test and my mini 3 made it further out than the mini 3 pro surprisingly. I ordered the mini 4 pro so I am waiting for delivery. But I figure I will use the heavier batteries with it also. But after some testing I will see. I love the O4 with the Air 3 absolutely amazing strength. I have so much interference where I live and the extra signal strength makes a huge difference.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, I'm not worried about being under 250g. I register anyway.

Please excuse if these are stupid questions but I have a couple being that I am new to drones. I just ordered the Mini 4 Pro combo. 1. Since it is under 250g do you still have to register it? 2. Is there an app that tells you where the no fly zones are, etc? I know about UAV Forecast but thats more for weather, correct? Appreciate any help as I want to get some footage when I go up the mountains camping.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You do not need to register the drone under 250g, but you do need to take the FAA's Trust Test. Download the B4UFly to check for places to fly that do not require authorization. Have fun with your new drone!

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

Very nice drone. I won't be upgrading from my Mini 3 Pro, however, since the camera is still the same, even though the available formats have been upgraded. The new features are all very nice to have, but they're not sufficient in and of themselves for me to upgrade. To me, the Mini 4 Pro is what the 3 could have been and should have been, and the Mini 5 Pro will be what the 4 could have been and should have been, with (hopefully) upgrades like the stacked sensor. Just as I believe the Air 3 S and/or the Air 4 will be what the Air 3 could and should have been. Just my opinion, based on how I use my drones.

I'm glad DJI gives us the choice!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I don't know. I didn't feel the need for them. 🤷‍♂️

[@MarioNappa]

@@IdahoQuadcopter they don't fit. Fyi.

Did you have to use remote ID, my dji fpv drone will only take off if I connect my phone or remote ID with the new software update wont let me take off? Is these a way to get the original software back so the remote ID does'nt need to be used on take off?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Your DJI FPV drone is a standard remote ID drone, and yes, it is required. You also must register it as a standard remote ID drone on the FAA Drone Zone.

[@timothyfrederickchurch81]

Yeh, Im fully legal. I give up on trying to get my original software so I dont have to use remote ID. Thanks for the help. @@IdahoQuadcopter

Hey Marcus..have you had any issues downloading files from the RC2? I cannot seem to get anything off the Micro SD card…any problem encountered?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It saves the files to internal memory. You can either download them direct from the internal memory or transfer them to the SD card. 👍

@@IdahoQuadcopter I get it..I think👍😊lots of shuffling around in the settings😳thanks again👍

Hi Marcus greetings I'm here again. After airborne until you landed how was the body temperature like compared to m3 and m3 pro.? My m3 issue is when you are airborne and become hot the controller goes off and the aircraft return back home. My regards to everyone. Welbeck here

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I've never had an overheating issue with the Mini 4 Pro Welbeck. 🤷‍♂️

[@welbeckairphotography]

@@IdahoQuadcopter thank you so much. I salute you this morning sir

[@TC_Conner]

Did you need to do any RC or drone calibrations before flying?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

None at all.

[@TC_Conner]

@@IdahoQuadcopter I upgraded from the Mini 2 and from what I’m seeing about the Mini 4 Pro I will probably feel overwhelmed by all the new features on the Mini 4 Pro. 😎

[@BlackPanther-yv7ib]

How do you register the drone? Because 90% of the time I’m flying my Mini 3 Pro with the extended batteries which put it over 250 grams. I purchased the Fly More Plus kit with the Mini 3 Pro so I won’t need the fly more kit when I upgrade to the Mini 4 Pro in November. Plus I purchased an extra extended battery so I have a total of 4 batteries. 🔋🔋🔋🔋

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's easy, here is a link to the FAA instructions: www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/register_drone

[@BlackPanther-yv7ib]

@@IdahoQuadcopter thanks Bro! Because I don’t want ANY hassles from cops who don’t know the updated laws on drone flying.

[@MrTrazz09]

i bet that boat operator didnt notice the mini 4 above him, its quiet and his engines are loud😊

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I doubt he knew it was there. 👍

[@crack7596]

Hey friend, between the minute 17:03 and 17:07 you see something passing by the camera!!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I saw that too. In the freeze frame it looks like white fuzz.
