DJI MINI 4 PRO Flight Test Review IN-DEPTH - Fly More Combo PLUS - EXTENDED Batteries

[@glifts220]

Dustin you probably won’t see this, but last time I was watching you I was a freshman in high school, this year I’m graduating. I’ve been interested in drones and cameras and videos since I was about eight years old; it’s been a dream of mine to become a professional videographer since forever. After some pretty big events during high school, I have had a really hard time deciding what I want to do after high school, but after revisiting your channel I’ve decided I still want to be a videographer. Keep up the good work man. You sparked up my dream again.

[@DustinDunnill]

Congrats on graduating. You can do whatever you set your mind to 🍻

I have been waiting for this review from you since the mini 4 pro came out no one else compares to your very detailed and comprehensive reviews, thank you!

[@whatcanitteachus]

I have been saving up for this drone now for 5 months, I ve watch this video twice already I'm excited for it hopefully by April I'll be getting it and posting videos with it Thank you for the awesome review

[@carkdonwah1528]

You don’t need to reach in quick to hand land it. Just keep the stick back and it will override the bypass and land on you hand. I do it like that all the time.

[@ukspeedtraps]

Excellent video well done I learnt so much

[@backyard3749]

Amazing. New pilot here, but ex radio/tv announcer. Let me start by saying the voice on this video is professional class. Great diction, tone, and friendly delivery. When I taught announcer classes, one of the tips I gave students was to pretend the microphone was a friend of yours and to speak like you are talking with a friend. That is exactly what I hear here. Since I'm new, I have been watching all sorts of videos, literally hundreds, doing my research on what to buy. I'm retired now so I have the time, haha. There are a TON of videos on the tube covering all kinds of drones, locations, tips and tricks, unboxing, reviews, etc. Variable quality; some are OK, but many are...bad (leave it at that). This one is actually so thorough and covers just about every aspect of a drone that you could possibly want. And the demos of the various features are comprehensive and clear with the changes in the screens whilst doing so. But 5-star, props, huzzah, and accolades galore for this double-D person. Well done! Yeah, I can count my subscriptions on one hand, but I did punch that "Subscribe" button. Hope that helps. Cya....

This video should be on DJI's manual. You covered the extra features that so many other KZbinrs ignore. What a video of pure class dude.

[@israelvibrations100]

Just wanted to say your video was by far the best. Most simplified and easy to follow. Not a lot of talking and gibberish, like some of the others do. And not a lot of fast talking, which everyone does which is hard to keep up and makes it impossible to learn. Your video I have to say is probably one of the best I've seen yet so far. I've watched 5 over yours, but yours takes the cake as number one Bi. Big. Thank you for making this so easy. So simple and enjoyable to watch. I'm glad you used an era that was simple to use obstacles. Features and most of all, you even tested all of its limits. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm going to keep watching this video over and over again 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Bravo my friend great job great video👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🤝✊️✊️👍👍👀👁👁👁💯💢💥

Great review and demo flight. I've been trying to decide whether to get the Mini 3pro or go full out and get the Mini 4 pro. I like the rc2 remote better so I think I will go with the Mini 4 pro. Thanks for the video.

[@ninjasquid2829]

the digital shadow that you can see close to the ground is so you can precisely manually land the drone on sketchy places, for example a boat deck where the auto landing may not be perfect. (the shadow is where it is going to land)

[@beamifrend]

This is the best M4P video by far, many thanks Dustin 👍

They saved that 1.74 and probably charged 5 dollars more. Over millions sold they made multimillions leaving those out....they're turning greedy which is why I might leave dji autel has gotten incredible. Why do I need a geo fence? My car goes 180 mph they didn't limit it to 70 mph

Very hyped for the next summer. The Mini 4 Pro is gonna be my first drone then. What a great piece of tech. Those obstacle avoidance sensors worked so great, fantastic!

[@hummerzdca]

I started watching your videos back in probably October when I got a Mini 3, and this is why I also have the 4 Pro too! Still love coming back for refreshers that keep me grounded in basic operations, and character. Always flying line of sight but would like trying some half to one mile stuff in an area I can feel safe to recover in case of an unavoidable bird strike. I fly above 300’ to assure I’m clear of obstacles. Thanks again.🇺🇸

[@jetmartin9501]

WRT to the simulated shadow, I find it useful as a way to estimate the landing spot. Say if you are flying at the beach and you want to make sure it is going to land on the pad vs in the sand, that overhead shadow view will help you assess if you are on track to land on the pad or if you need to make some adjustments in the landing. Sometimes it can be hard to judge from the side as to exactly where you will land.

[@BlairAir]

Or, you can just turn on the center-point cross, lol. I would add "point camera down" although M4P aIready does point fown on auto landings. Same exact thing, but this one is a bit more contrast

[@chrissanchez9218]

Still on the fence if I should get this or maybe wait for mini 5? I currently have mini 2se so it’s an upgrade for sure … Jeez I’m half way watching the video and the drone stopping by itself to not hit the tree was pretty impressive when in spotlight mode wow now I’m thinking about getting this drone so far great video

Shooting from the hip that was one comprehensive video. I've watched many and you creamed it. Subscribed and looking forward to your next.

[@noonespecific9463]

They have a Fly More Plus combo at my local Best Buy store. They have exactly one left in stock. That’s all they have, no other packages , everything else sold out already that was mini 4 pro. I’m very tempted, I can just barely afford it. Normally I would be getting a standard fly more combo rather than the plus with those extended flight time batteries. I’m strictly recreational and always fly in class G airspace, having those heavier batteries though is what’s holding me back. So maybe I will use your link if there is a regular fly more combo offered there.

[@andrewsteen5042]

I'm a newbi and all I can say is excellent and thank you

Fantastic, comprehensive review. The 4 pro is so much better than my original mini, both functionally and in image quality, I feel I gotta have one!

[@schowbike]

wow.. the green graphic of its path. incredible

[@whirltraveller1350]

Great. I don't know if you have already tested this, but I am specifically interested in knowing whether obstacle avoidance will detect electrical or hightension wires. Roger

[@DustinDunnill]

Seems like it does with wires a few inches thick but crashes into anything thinner. I just released a tracking test video today. You should check out the results 🍻

[@KubotaManDan]

Awesome demonstration of all the controls & camera modes

[@zangiYT]

We are happy to see the range test as well Dustin keep doing it it helps a lot to users for bignner pilots to this field

[@jetmartin9501]

Dustin, GREAT video. Thanks for the detailed info...very useful stuff. My main issue with the MiniPro 4 RC-2 is the offline map feature. Unless you've got your controller tethered to you phone you won't have access to detailed maps unless you download maps using he RC-2's Offline map capability. And who doesn't need maps when they are flying? Here comes the rub...today you can only download small map "snippets" (max is ~3MB map size...and for me that translates to an area of about 3 miles X 2 miles. While you can down multiple map "snippets", if you want to have maps for a reasonable size geographic region (city plus surrounding metro area) you'd have to select, download, (and optionally name) potentially HUNDREDS of map snippets to get that type of map coverage depending on the size of the geographic area. And that's not how I want to spend my time just to make maps available for my flights. This makes the offline maps feature inconvenient if not unusable. DJI support "claims" that this map file size limitation is an Android limitation. But based on my own research the file size limit in Android is actually 4GB under FAT32, which is an order of magnitude larger than the DJI 3MB limitation. If anyone has a different understanding of file size limits I'd like to here it as I'm not buying DJI 's supports answer. It is my understanding that this Offline Map file size limitation is the same on the RC-Pro and RC controllers. And the RC-Pro controller with offline maps has been out for how how many years? I'm hoping that DJI will fix this issue soon.

[@DustinDunnill]

I didn't have an issue with maps when I did my range test by caching the area at home just zooming around the route but perhaps they are not as "detailed" 🍻

[@TheSaint226]

Hmmm... I had not that about that... I currently have a NC1 controller with the Air 2. So your saying that when you use the RC2 that you don't have detailed maps unless you tether it to your phone? So is that what most people do?

Hi Dustin, i've watched your first 2 reviews on the DJI mini 4 Pro. I've been flying my DJI mini 2 for about 2 years and wanted to upgrade to perhaps the mini 4 Pro. Have been studying this DJI drone for about 2 weeks, love all the new features. Your 2 reviews I watched were lengthy, but you took the time to go through all the features and explained them very well and gave good explanations and demonstrations! I have watched many KZbin videos on the mini 4 Pro and I have to say that I think your videos were the best and most comprehensive. I was very impressed that you took the time to explain everything so well! So well in fact that I ordered a new mini 4 Pro and its going to be delivered tomorrow! I've subscribed to your channel and will watch more of your vids. MANY THANKS and KEEP UP YOUR GREAT VIDEOS!

I really enjoyed watching this video! Cool little thing, cant wait to get my soon 😊

[@BlairAir]

Very pleased to report improved positional accuracy. Not trivial, it allows for the aircraft to nail waypoints accurately, allows precision landing, and adds "Pro" to the Mini. Specs reveal one stepped-up parameter, namely Hovering Accuracy Horizontal Hovering accuracy is now. ±0.1 m (with vision positioning) From Mini 3 Pro's ±0.3 m (with vision positioning) I suspect this is DIRECTLY due to the larger TimeOfFlight sensors on M4P. These are the dark mirror finished ones, that replaced the tiny round inset type on Mini's of the past. It was important enough for DJI to make up the extra weight somehow, and the accuracy when hovering and landing is proof enough for me!

I’m from the uk too and find this guy’s reviews 100% legit and good! There are no range test like it 👀 I’m still tempted by the air3 over this but this looks amazing and it’s definitely on the short list.

[@BlairAir]

​@@jamesgrantham1743This is a huge refinement to Mini 3 Pro - particularly for positional accuracy. It actually takes a .3 meter horizontal accuracy down to .1 meter per specs abd it flys like it. Evan has precision landing which works perfectly - but stick with your Air 3 plans. As soon as I got settled with M4P, and enjoyed Active Track 360, I immediately missed the 70mm/3X camera. Never forget imaging is job 1. Plus DJI confirmed they're testing Active Track 360 for Air 3 - might take a few months since both focal lengths Track on Air 3. It's a tough choice, but If I could only have one? Unless sub-250 grams is a hard requirement and rules your purchase decision, Air 3 unquestionably a superior drone.

Great video, specially for people like me that are going to buy one now. Awesome stuff. I had a thought for you to try for on the spot landing. Turn the gimbal so it's pointed to the ground and use the drones shadow over your landing spot. Of course it will depend on where the sun is in the sky. But it might be closer. Thanks just discovered your channel. Great stuff. Keep up the good work.
