[@SteveSacramento]

Only you Peter would think of putting two drones on the back of another! That's why we always watch your videos as soon as they are published because we never know what we will get!

[@yoochem]

Admittedly brilliant move!😂

[@rc5549]

Definitely impressed with the optical avoidance in amongst those trees especially at pace with some of those smaller branches/sticks poking out. Very impressive it followed you throughout the run. Would love to see another straight speed test with the mini 4 to see if it really did miss that branch or it was just luck.

[@elvisvan]

im guessing that branch was too difficult even to better sensors to avoid, the mini 4 simply got lucky

[@Leonardoadelima]

The dedication on this video to test the drone is nuts

[@Ed-davies]

Two drones strapped on top of an FPV gives you new legendary status! The branch test, I think the 4 aced it not that the mini3 was bad! I think the mini 4 is worth it for waypoints alone

[@uconicagency]

Same Update as iPhone 14 Pro to iPhone 15 Pro. Just small changes to make it a little bit better. It's hard to make a great product even greater. But I really appreciate they've put the bigger antenas on the remote. Also, I really appreciate your videos! Keep em coming!

[@epicswordmewz7007]

Comparing it to iPhones is a terrible comparison. The drones have differences beyond their names.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Apparently the Mini 4 Pro has a stacked sensor, that's something the Mini 3 Pro does not. So a slight advantage of the Mini 4 on the camera front. Thanks for the info Sam from my Editing Course Discord Group! EDIT: Seems like KZbin has compressed the video to pieces.

[@lyndonlabayan]

Small correction as the D LOG on the Mini 4 Pro is D LOG M. If anyone is using Mavic 3 D LOG conversions, they won't have the same contrast values when used on D LOG M footage. Great vid!

[@theflyings1490]

3:15 For such a tiny drone having a camera with such a tiny amount of noise is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vegardpedersen]

I bought mine 1 year ago, and I regret it so much now, I did not like that it only had D-Cinelike, the new one has D-log which would make me use the drone 10 times more. But I can not justify buying the new one since I have the Mini 3 PRo. Great video Peter, I got to know everything I wanted to know. Crazy invention at the start as well :-)

[@wyateerp1]

Same here as DJI just replaced my 3 Pro a week ago for a Fly Away ! Great Customer service though

[@JoshSchorle]

I agree here. They’re about the same. The only things that potentially make it worth upgrading to the 4 pro are the sensors, waypoints, & D-Log.

[@wyateerp1]

Same here as DJI just replaced my 3 Pro a week ago for a Fly Away ! Great Customer service though

[@ThroughGiosLens]

Such a creative way to get a perfect side by side comparison!!! Thanks for your awesome review!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thanks for watching!

[@iamshredder3587]

Is it really side by side though? Or over and under, rotated sideways for the video? 🤔 I think you'd have to agree given the evidence confirming my premise that, my friend ...the one truly logical conclusion could be naturally that out of 8 billion plus people on earth no one and I mean not a single one of them actually gives a fork in a crab salad!!! 😒 So uhh.... screw you world! 😠👊

[@Tony_33]

I upgraded from the 3 to the 4 and all my best footage has come from the 4, it was well worth the upgrade for me personally.

[@ChristineKenyon]

I have the Mini 3 Pro and ordered the 4 Pro yesterday. Def want the automated modes as a solo content creator, value the D log for high quality video, the added peace of mind with the new sensors, plus the upgraded controller and flight comms.

[@BlackPanther-yv7ib]

I want to upgrade my Mini 3 Pro to the Mini 4 Pro How much do you think I should sell my Mini 3 Pro? I have the Two Year Refresh warranty on it. Thanks!

[@jonahkaiguam]

Crazy how when Peter starts running, the Mini 3 weaved around the trees to find its way thru which was cool 5:45 ....but even cooler was the Mini 4 just said to itself...SCREW IT FULL SEND!!!! 7:03

[@PeterLindgren1]

Haha i know! I got really impressed when it steered around the trees!

[@AtanasPaunoff]

I liked more Mini 3 strafe to the left over Mini 4 go trough. Lokked way more cinematic :)

[@wasappeningvato]

Your video was great, liked the comparison, I have to say after watching I will stick to my dji mini 3 pro.

[@shawnstoik]

I like how rough you are with it. Shows how much you care about the Quality And workmanship, Great!

[@charliepiazza1]

Hands down best comparison video on youtube!

[@Tchernobog11]

As someone fairly new to drones, I *would* love to get the 4, especially for the safety of full surround collision detection (and the other new features are nice too). I'd have to sell my mini 3 pro to afford it, though.

[@GeorgeTelfer-w9d]

Peter thank you for your help and advice I want to buy a drone was going to buy mine 3 but then the 4 came along and will probably buy after your review. Thank you. Kindest regards George Telfer

[@archsciontrismegistus4194]

the only truthful drone enthusiast we watch and listen to for real facts

[@briansteph]

Great review! Only you would think to tape 2 drones on top of an FPV drone lol. I also got the Mini 3 Pro about a year ago and have been happy with it. The Mini 4 Pro is awesome, but I can't justify upgrading quite yet...although I would LOVE to have LOG capability on the Mini 3. Thanks for comparing these two! 🇸🇪

[@mickekling]

The waypoint shots with the car is the biggest reason for me to switch from 3 Pro to 4 Pro. It was almost impossible for me to be tracked/fly manual when I drive my MC.

[@sp4rksaflyin]

Man! This was an excellent comparison video!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Glad you liked it, thanks for tuning in!

[@patrykbarchanski6385]

The best video I have watched about the mini 4 PRO, thanks a lot!

[@jj1m404]

Hands down the best, most informative and most entertaining comparison video on KZbin. Subbed!

[@mikep745]

Really cool comparison video! This was great.

[@BlackPanther-yv7ib]

I’m DEFINITELY upgrading to the Mini 4 Pro from my Mini 3 Pro that I have had for 1 Month and 2 weeks.

[@PeterLindgren1]

It's a sick drone!

[@georgeaugustin7461]

Your unboxing skills are legendary.

[@pgm_eth]

Duuuuude the beginning fo the video was EPIC!!! yet again another great video from you and the only proper comparison to the video taken by 3/4 pros

[@EspenJohan]

So cool to see the drones taped together🤣At least gives us good side by side footage

[@zenargaming1257]

coming from mini 2 to mini 4 is a great leap, the features and camera of this drone doubles my expectations compare to mini 2, I was not really into the obstacle avoidance but it's a good addition, what interest me is the D-log,

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

How can control on a motorcycle

[@TuckerPearce]

Great breakdown of if you should buy this drone, totally agree with the reasoning. Cool video Peter!

[@jon112media]

maybe not most unecessary but definitely the most extra... and I'm here for it! the duct tape test allowed me to see the DR is like maybe half a stop different in the highlights. thanks for this video!

[@ChristianPecksteiner]

I enjoyed watching this video. Entertaining and informative. Lots of work went into it. Thank you man! Will stay with the 3 Pro.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Appreciate this comment man! Thanks for watching!

[@iuriius]

Thanks for your hard work showing us those drones. So much efforts done!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thanks for watching!

[@theratbuster]

Fantastic idea just got the mini 3 pro looking forward to using it

[@nabeelkhursheed9193]

Hey Peter, this content is top-notch! DJI should be paying you for this video. Kudos, man. You've earned a new subscriber!

[@DDB-np1jp]

Thank you for the video. It was amazing, not just showing the difference between the drones but also showing what each can do and what us owners can expect to do with them. Love the videos, love the music, very good review and comparison. Thanks again!

[@davidtm5r]

Thanks for the comparison.

[@YoutubeYoutube-se4ch]

Best video in Internet for DJI Drones

[@unclejupri]

Hi Peter, Thank you for Updating 👍 Nice review and testing 🙏

[@badmiketeddy]

Low key love the aggression of the unboxing with the intro.

[@MarvelyMaker]

Wowww! Truly amazing the dji Mini FPV. Hahahaha. I am Canarian from the Canary Islands in Spain, and today I start following you. It has blown my mind with this graphic document. Great job friend.

[@ArtClip2000]

This is the best review for this drone! 🤜🤛

[@CLLUK]

Excellent. Thank you very much. I have the M3P. I will wait for the M5P 😊

[@sethfryeisaniceguy]

I really love what you're doing and you are awesome on camera. The dedication with the studio is impressive as well. Keep doing what you are doing. Some people dream about doing what you do. I'm one of them. I cracked up laughing last night when you were playing a character trying to figure out 'Hashtag' HA! So good. Be good!

[@ArsalanMustafakhan]

Great video, always love seeing wind tests with these mini drones because its the only area where they somewhat lack but WOW, it handles it great. And the stability of the video is amazing

[@okeeffemarshall8003]

Peter, thanks for this epic video and educational experience that I would not have known if it wasn't for your teaching. I have the mini 3 pro was thinking to buy the mini 4 pro. Got my answer just from watching a pro like you work. Think I wait to see what next year have in store. Thank you 💯

[@RenzorTheRed]

Lol wow. That intro and the duct tape. Well done.

[@UltraInstinctZz]

Great job with the video. Absolutely loved it

[@chrisignacio1791]

Now that’s how you do a Real Drone Comparison😂❤GREAT content As Always Peter💪🏽

[@gopinathsekar9367]

First one is a master pice idea mate .🔥🔥🔥

[@GrzegorzBaszczak]

Thanks to your videos, I started filming family holidays using Gimbal :). Thank you and best regards.

[@sunset_chaser]

Absolutely brilliant testing video, perfect !!!

[@danielthomas7747]

Excellent review.... dynamic.... thank you man.... Bra jobbar...

[@tvk1971]

I think the mini 4 pro would have hit the tree as well. I think there is definitely an upgrade but fine branches remain difficult for the camera/sensors to detect. For the rest; Peter, cool video!

[@Bumfluff1202]

Thanks for this video, looking to upgrade my mavic mini to either a M3P or M4P thank you

[@007craft]

Thanks for the review. I would probably get 1/5th of the cost for selling the mini 3 so it doesn't seem like its worth an upgrade to me. I'll wait another 1.5 years and upgrade to the 5 when that comes out, which I'm sure will have improved obstacle avoidance (Since this is the first mini to do full obstacle avoidance) and a better camera and other features.

[@dannyhendy]

That waypoints car shot was delicious

[@buttondeity3933]

i agree it was a tie on avoidance

[@BastardSquad]

Hands down, the best review on YT…. Been deciding which to buy since the M3P release…. Now I know… Thanks for the review.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Glad I could help!

[@DungarooTV]

It's close but the Mini 4 Pro wins overall! By the way, did you noticed the body of the Mini 4 Pro's body has a creaking down when the body is squeezed? Thanks

[@technodrone313]

compared to the 2 definitely. the whole experience with the rc2 controller has been great too.

[@patfish3291]

Yes, it was only luck for the MP4 with the tree brunch ...in theory, the mini 3 Pro should see without the fisheye lenses better in the front (18m vs. 25m of the Mini 3 Pro)

[@yota87truck]

Not a tie througth the trees. The 4 didn't slow down as it entered but the 3 did slow down. Like you say both might have hit the branch.

[@coeniejvr]

i was lookinf a a new drone, and was just about to purchase the mini 3 pro. But came to your video and didn't even know there was a mini 4 out. Now i want the mini 4 pro. :) Nice video. I also prefer the d-log

[@donners1978]

Thank you very much for this, an easy and simple explaination of everything these drones has to offer. I've been flying my friends drone so this will be my first one, so i will go with the 4 Pro after this. I'm sure as a newbie, i'll start off slow but will progress quickly as we like to take photos of our trips. The reason i really wanted to find a good video was for the active track option, now i feel i understand it a lot better and thats why I'm starting with a more expensive drone (and flying my friends has given me the confidence that i won't write it off on my first flight!). Thanks again!

[@tomask.3983]

The sensor size is the same 3 and 4 but some seem to say that video quality is better in mini 4.

[@PensivePixels]

This makes me kind of wish I just waited for the 4. Two years is a really short generational cycle.

[@Matanumi]

Yeah and a half!

[@OtterDrone]

Cool stuff!

[@Sacramentoidioto]

I thought you were an american but then I saw swedish in the clip, and then I noticed your name ... Awsome pronounciations, man what perfect english! I'm swedish myself but nowere near your skill level!

[@Travel_with_Faizan]

I love the effort you put in to make this, i recently lost my m3p drone someone stole it from my car sadly, you should make a video to test what i can do to retrieve a stolen drone 😢

[@SkyTouch08]

Your video are always entertaining my friend. Appreciate the comparison

[@giannikosmichail4317]

Merci beaucoup 👍🏽

[@EnzoPlays]

This is was a perfection of a video

[@alwaysforwardyt]

9:07 You should be paid by DJI or at least get the drones free. The tracking of both drones while you were running in the forest was almost scary (thinking of military applications). I couldn't believe how good the drones tracked you through the trees, etc. Incredible. Excellent video, thank you!

[@75jrwhite]

Great vid👍 The tracking was very impressive.

[@BrnTanHides]

The start of your vid I thought " I'm gunna hate this person". But as it went on. Very Good. Thought you were gonna have a heart attack from running in th wood AND from the stress of listening to hear if the drones crashed.lol. Final thoughts... ONE OF THE BEST VIDS OUT IN THE INTERNET WORLD! I think DJI should sponsor you some replacement parts at the very least. Definitely talked me in to picking up a few for the teenage kids for XMas. The omnidirectional sensors makes it an easy decision for sure. They did want The stunt drones but..I doubt they will last long and the weight of them makes chosing the Mini 4 a done deal. I stick with my 2 and Mini 3 Pro. Almost got a Mavic 2 Advanced but the dealer decided not to sell to me because I question why the Advanced is a bit more then the Mavic 3ET. Lol No explanation why he decided not to sell to me. I took that as a sign not to buy the Thermals for DJI. I'm a Volunteer Firefighter. Also take pics and vid for archives for possible future use in terms of Environment and Wildlife. Archiving changes annually/seasonally could be a huge benefit for future unforeseeable "events". I guess what I'm getting at is... Do you have any reviews or recommendations of other drones with this type of reliable capacity? Hope that makes sense.lol Once again thanks for the great vid.

[@DAXimusTT]

Can always count on you to do something different. Thanks for this review Peter. It all depends on the use case right! Overall, if you can get a good price for selling the mini 3 to offset the cost of m4p then it's a no brainer. We would all have liked to see some significant improvements with the camera but it's performing well. That coupled with the new obstacle avoidance, waypoints, d-log m and lets not forget occusync 4.0 transmission.... I think it's a great improvement to the mini series.

[@PeterLindgren1]

It absolutley has some nice features, but nothing that would make me instantly sell my 3 pro if i only had that. That said, the 4 pro is a wicked drone!

[@hitmakerzmedia]

Great video per usual! Thanks for sharing brotha! 💪

[@growingupisatrap6688]

Sold my M3Pro last week for £800 and now have a shiny M4Pro, for me all the extra features was worth it, despite having to buy a whole new set of new filters!

[@deechannel85]

i love m4p ..before this use m3p buat m4p amazing

[@iWJRs]

I love the way you made the comparison between them, nice, you put a little bit jokes when you dropped the RC controller 😄👍, nice vlog 👍

[@Sheikhazeemsh]

As a beginner drone pilots way points are the most interesting to me who agrees with me?

[@JustnPage]

Just got the mini 2 with the fly more combo for my Hawaii trip to get some shots knowing this was coming out soon. Definitely going to send back the mini 2 get that money and put it towards the mini 4 Pro.

[@pogskey]

Very Nice review, I'm planning to buy mini 4 pro as my first drone

[@PeterLindgren1]

Good choice!

[@stephendonkin5497]

Enjoyed this great watch

[@flemix98]

I really want one 🔥

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Peter, very well done video. Provided me valuable information to make a decision - I currently have the mini 2. Thank you.

[@amarzakaria1665]

Hey, Is this zve-10 ? Which lens (objectif) do you use ? Kind regards.

[@PhillipSkraba]

You're nuts, I love it.

[@ByaheniDAVE-x1d]

I have the M3pro and i think i want to buy M4pro also😊 can you walk with me here in the philippines😊

[@VoidExpansions]

Highly inspired by you man. Love your videos

[@bhrishaprem5051]

Those drone shots 🤤... im going to upgrade just for the new sensors.... i've crashed my mini 3 too many times for my taste 😒

[@caseymoore8461]

Great video!! The Mini 4 camera takes better pictures it seems, am I wrong?

[@benc2798]

should I wait for the Mini 5 Pro?

[@kobizam1341]

Really nice video, cool editing and swell personality 😎

[@PeterLindgren1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kidfromsky]

Great review Peter 😁💪🏻

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thank you!

[@happypinoy1583]

nice bro i like your video good content

[@noilkrad]

Q: How to test both drones at a time? You can't just use duct tape to tape them together. Peter: Yes I can! Hold my beer
