DJI MINI 4K - MAIDEN and Some Great Camera Exposure Ideas

Some early thoughts as I fly the DJI Mini 4K - Exposure values and Histogram - ND filters, maybe?
The Function Button - one idea for it.

I just got done viewing the footage in HD on a 85" TV I am pleasantly surprised. Just like I thought, the Mini 4K captures terrain in absolute stunnng quality. Superior to all drones in this price point.

[@BelizeByDrone]

You are literally the only person I found that explained, in less than 30 seconds, how to lock the exposure on the Mini 4K. This is almost impossible to find anywhere else. Actually, I haven't found anyone else who has explained how to do this on the Mini 4K.

[@DadRandom]

Glad I could be of help

[@Drone.vision]

Brilliant mate, excellent video , thoroughly enjoyed it! What great drone 🙂

[@HappyOrangeTheBand]

Nice video. Thanks for introducing me to this model.

[@RobinDrones]

Nice first flight. The footage looks stunning, and that's me watching on a 65-inch QLED tv😍 Yeh, i heard that about iPhones that the screen dims when it's hot. I've never had that with my Android phone. Midrange Samsung android phones these days are very bright, I have a Samsung A55 with 1000 nits brightness 🌞 Which is brighter than the dji rc (700 nits) 👍 Did you notice that the controller is the RCN1C? It only has 1 battery 🔋 and uses roughly around 25% per flight. But it's good that it's lighter for travelling, etc... Keep the great videos coming 👌

[@DadRandom]

That’s excellent news. How footage appears on large screen is a great measurement

[@DadRandom]

Yes, the controller really never needed the xtra cell. Now I’m hoping for an DJI RC possibly… would be nice

[@alessandrob9716]

This is the best and smoothest video I've ever seen on the mini 4k :). Could I ask you if you used the ND filters for this video, what program did you use to edit it and what are the export settings? Thank you so much

[@DadRandom]

No nd filters. I need all Of the light I can get on the sensor.

[@uksewingmachineservice7030]

Nice video mate great bit of info on it Don 🤠🇬🇧👍👍👍

[@psg5004]

Great video 👍🏼 I love my mini 4k too. Was thinking of buying a cheap Samsung galaxy tab a7 lite for my control😊

[@paddledog]

Can you elaborate on benefits of using a tablet vs. a phone?

[@DadRandom]

Depending on your phone, screen darkening is a problem in warm climates. If you use an Android device, you may be better on a phone. Some tablets offer a higher nit value up to 1000 nits is considered high. Screen viewable in daylight is the goal.

[@DirtyPlumbus]

You can get filters for this drone and a phone hood to help with the sunshine issues.

[@eixoygamer3797]

A exposição ficou muito boa é possível ver o azul do céu e ter uma boa iluminação no solo

[@dpenn555]

Afternoon, Can I ask a question regarding the Tablet holder as I am looking at picking one up. Do you find the antenna signal weaker with the Tablet holder attached? As it looks like the holder is attached to the back of the antenna, would this not block or reduce the RC signal going out?

[@DadRandom]

That’s a good observation and no, I have not had any issues

[@dpenn555]

@@DadRandom Thanks for replying, I will pick one up now. Love the content.. You have gained a new subscriber 👍

[@emiliandobroaica4646]

How does it compare with the Potensic Atom in terms of flight/hover stability and video quality?

[@DadRandom]

DJI has better range quality. About … Equal hover stability and a much more reliable camera. I would add firmware. DJI seems to behave better in all areas of hardware/software integration. I have flown the drones you mentioned and DJI designed the Mini 4k to be superior to them. DJI is a Billion dollar company.

[@treynolds94]

Great choice. Love the first gen minis design and time proof. I actually dont mind using my phone as the screen aswell. As you know I just got my mini 2 se about a month ago now just got the regular basic pack with just the single battery with drone but bought an extra battery came to $405 Cdn. Last week just picked up the charging hub and two sets of extra props. Should of just got the fly more but was to poor to get all of it at one time.

[@treynolds94]

I bought a Contiqo or whatever its called after flying a buddies mini 1. Paid $106 Cdn got home could not connect to my phone and while trying to turn off the power button broke internally so I returned it literally 30mins after getting it bought a my mini 2 se the next day. Kind of glad the buttin broke cause that drone was poo.

[@rusty-oc2tj]

i am very hesitant to ɓuy a dji mini, is it geo fenced flight restricted, i am 10 miles from a comunity airport

[@DadRandom]

@@rusty-oc2tj it’s easy to get LAANC clearance from the before u fly app

[@BelizeByDrone]

I double tap the screen while flying my Mini 4K and in video mode (recording) however nothing happens. It does not show the little yellow sun that comes up when in camera mode. What am I missing?

[@DadRandom]

Setup your function button in the DJI FlyAp so when you double press it, it locks your exposure. This is easier than tapping and busting using your touch screen.

[@BelizeByDrone]

@@DadRandom thank you.

[@bobwhitewo3b]

Which RID module are you using with your Mini 4K?

500m

Hi, I just came across your very informative and great videos while looking for some information on the DJI Mini 4K. I am new to drones following the topic in "passive mode" (just watching videos on YT) for years every once in a while without acutally buying a drone. The Mini 4K is very tempting, so I am in the process of deciding whether to get the Mini 4K basic set or perhaps a used Mini 2 or Mini 3 (better f1,7) on ebay or an other of these platforms. I don't intend to invest more than $350-$400 to start with since I don't know if this hobby is really for me. 😅. So the Mini 3 Pro or 4 Pro would exceed the limit I don't want to go over now. You are recommending using a tablet instead of a phone (I have the 8" Apple iPad mini 4, but also the latest Amazon Fire tablet 8" (also a 7" version) so as an idea as what to buy I would go for the Mini 4K basic set and the things you are recommending here: the foldable tablet holder and the USB-C charger to start with and get the extra batteries perhaps later. All this over the Mini 4K Combo kit for $439. The drone would just be used as a hobby while perhaps travelling for which it is perfect. I would love to get your opinion on ths and I am in Europe (DE) without the Utah sun by the way ...😅

[@DadRandom]

Yes, if you are just getting into the hobby, this is the best option for best experience. DJI is the king of drones. Don’t let anyone tell you different. I have only good experiences with These products.

[@Cairol58]

@@DadRandom So I guess you are saying the Mini 4K basic set is just sufficient for starts ...

[@tonygee3284]

Save up your money and buy the mini 4 pro You will love it

[@DadRandom]

I sold my mini 4

[@RobinDrones]

@DadRandom Really, why did you sell it?

[@richardparkhouse9571]

That dont look no different from my mini 2SE ?????

[@brucedon1951]

The Mini 4k shoots in 4k and has bit rate of 100 where as the Mini 2 se shoots in 2.7k and a bit rate of 40 you will see a differents on a 4k tv or screen
