[@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!😂

[@charliepiazza1]

Hands down best comparison video on youtube!

[@Leonardoadelima]

The dedication on this video to test the drone is nuts

[@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

[@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

[@theratbuster]

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

[@mikep745]

Really cool comparison video! This was great.

[@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

[@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!

[@UltraInstinctZz]

Great job with the video. Absolutely loved it

[@unclejupri]

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

[@hitmakerzmedia]

Great video per usual! Thanks for sharing brotha! 💪

[@sunset_chaser]

Absolutely brilliant testing video, perfect !!!

[@patrykbarchanski6385]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@jj1m404]

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

[@ArtisBlue]

This is the best review for this drone! 🤜🤛

[@TuckerPearce]

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

[@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!

[@badmiketeddy]

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

[@shawnstoik]

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

[@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

[@danielthomas7747]

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

[@stephendonkin5497]

Enjoyed this great watch

[@SkyTouch08]

Your video are always entertaining my friend. Appreciate the comparison

[@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!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@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!

[@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! 😠👊

[@nabeelkhursheed9193]

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

[@CLLUK]

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

[@EnzoPlays]

This is was a perfection of a video

[@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.

[@GrzegorzBaszczak]

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

[@markexploringnewstuff]

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

[@shawnstoik]

This was a great video!!!

[@75jrwhite]

Great vid👍 The tracking was very impressive.

[@TheCoconutstrut]

Subbed. Really great video

[@georgeaugustin7461]

Your unboxing skills are legendary.

[@archsciontrismegistus4194]

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

[@VoidExpansions]

Highly inspired by you man. Love your videos

[@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 👍

[@MarvelFilmmaking]

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.

[@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 💯

[@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!

[@user-ow3zc4sr4r]

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

[@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.

[@kobizam1341]

Really nice video, cool editing and swell personality 😎

[@PeterLindgren1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kidfromsky]

Great review Peter 😁💪🏻

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thank you!

[@PhillipSkraba]

You're nuts, I love it.

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@giannikosmichail4317]

Merci beaucoup 👍🏽

[@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.

[@gopinathsekar9367]

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

[@FloridaSkylines]

Yeahhhh buddy !! Love a good mini FPV Combo shot 😂🔥

[@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! 🇸🇪

[@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

[@PURPLETOPZ]

I am so excited I get my my mini 3 pro tomorrow. I wanted the 4 but the price had me think other wise. Coming from the mini 1 i can say the 3 will be just fine for me.

[@happypinoy1583]

nice bro i like your video good content

[@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.

[@YoutubeYoutube-se4ch]

Best video in Internet for DJI Drones

[@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

[@wasappeningvato]

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

[@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

[@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

[@hawkhawk6079]

Jijijijijii is Fantastic Brother.

[@amarzakaria1665]

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

[@EspenJohan]

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

[@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.

[@awesomeagnihotrisvlog]

Can we mark the way points while holding the drone ..(like in a forest under and over the branches )and just leave the drone to fly the path we created …you think it is possible??loved your video mate ❤❤❤

[@PeterLindgren1]

No i don't think so.

[@dannyhendy]

That waypoints car shot was delicious

[@batchboy999]

I just wonder how much more side viewing is done with 4 pro verses 3 pro coz it seems cams facing front are only at a bit wider sngle, if you could test that be interesting.

[@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!

[@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 😢

[@nbl23]

Does The remote with the screen for the mini 3 work with the mini 4 ? I want to buy one of those remotes so I can only buy the mini 4 drone later.

[@oyaji-nikki]

いい動画をありがとうございました😊

[@TechAmitPro]

Superb 👌

[@NUK3NBF3]

hello @PeterLindgren1, have you noticed any difference with the antennas you have on your Googles?

[@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!

[@TheAwsWorld]

Did you miss the vertical video feeture?

[@Kennyad9]

Nice video. I have the M3P and don't see the need to upgrade to the M4P.

[@ravedutanes7203]

Question can lift up to 10 oz? thinking to get one

[@diverbrent]

Great great video~! I'm upgrading my M3P to the M4P. I've had the 3 for 6 months and as a solo content creator the options for the 4 with waypoints and extra sensors is worth the upgrade. If I was a just a hobbiest the 3 would work fine. But for me to have the Waypoints allows for more creative shots by myself. I'm selling my M3P for $1200 on ebay, it comes with the fly more package too. Good luck!

[@ibrahim.productions]

1200? it’s brandnew for 670 without the fly more

[@jimtipton8888]

Call me shallow, but I just like the fact that the Mini 4 Pro has front legs. The rest of it is pretty cool too. A worthy successor. Thank you Peter!

[@PeterLindgren1]

It's a nice feature for sure

[@chrisignacio1791]

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

[@irfan_updates]

Can I move for mini 4pro from mavic air2 ??

[@flemix98]

I really want one 🔥

[@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.

[@caseymoore8461]

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

[@technodrone313]

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

[@rafaelsilveiramov]

Great vid! What's the name of the music that begins at 0:47? PLEASE!

[@ellobo1326]

Great video. Can the waypoints on mini4 be created pre flight ? Or does the drone only save waypoints that it flys to ? Thanks

[@peterevans2278]

You can set up a waypoint mission in the comfort of your own home, even without the drone being connected to the RC. Switch on the RC and connect to your WiFi. Then tap 'Connection Guide' (bottom right). Then tap 'Camera Guide' (top right). Then tap the waypoint icon (middle left). Select your map area. Then make and save the mission.

[@travelsolo2677]

Can you use the Mini 3 Pro controller with the Mini 4 drone

[@topsskug9329]

Du vill inte sälja 3an till mig? :D vill ha som nybörjardrone

[@9MinuteMotos]

Dude where do you get your music? It’s great

[@PeterLindgren1]

Artlist 🤙🏼

[@tomask.3983]

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

[@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!
