Why the DJI Mini 4K is a great drone for beginners

[@mattliller]

I’m newer to your content, but absolutely loving it. Everything is excellent quality and straight to the point. Well done as always!

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Thank you 😊

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Brilliant video and subscribed. Really wanted this mini 4K but wanted a drone to follow me for making music videos and think I’ll have to go with the Mini 4 Pro for the obstacle avoidance and follow features. Thank you for your channel. 👌

[@JohnWi11is]

Love this video!! I've spent the last 48 hrs researching trying to decide which DJI drone to get. I like this one a lot.

[@patrikstoor]

This is perfect! just ordered mine! went with the mini 4 pro and cant wait to use it!

[@whatworkedforme]

loved the pace and narrative of your introduction to this drone... I am not aware of many women (UK at least) doing this so all power to you! I'm looking for more from you.

[@therealxchan]

first drone i ever bought and flew and i love the DJI mini 4k its literally a cinema drone in a foldable package that fits in ur pocket

[@BigBroNas412]

Just picked one up. Thank you

[@hertesc]

Ordered ours today , so excited

[@WalkWithWallace]

Nice review, it looks decent for an entry level drone and miles ahead of the little Spark.

[@docski71]

Just bought one thanks for the video...was set on the Neo but having seen your other video about the poor video quality...decided on the mini 4k :)

[@terrycharleslewis7565]

Thanks for a good and consice review, I think I'll have buy one now! Kind regards Terry. You're blessed with charm and beauty aswell so being a good reviewer.

[@JavaPROx]

Awesome!! I just bought mine. I’m excited!

[@mayarelshahat]

off topic, but your voice is sooooo soothing..do a podcast hahah..thanks for the video 🥰

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Haha, thanks 😅

We shoot with a lot of different DJI drones. The one caveat with the DJI MIni series is that it is VERY delicate (to hit weight marks the plastic is very thin.) That means it won't survive even the lightest mishap, where we've had Mavics hit every branch on the way down after hitting a tree and they're sometimes fine. The Mini in that scenario is guaranteed to land in 20 different pieces.

[@nicholsonjay4724]

Mine hit a large tree, whereby I had to knock it down, thus causing it to fall down through 20 ft of branches only to roll down a small hill right under a house…..hardly a scratch on it and worked just fine afterward.

[@whatworkedforme]

@@nicholsonjay4724 me too.. it is not priced like the higher end either... which would mean NO drone at all. LOL

[@Jkay765]

Great vid I have just ordered one from amazon on offer for £209, I am new to drones so wanted something fairly cheap but also good quality, Your video really helped me out on choosing which one thankyou.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

You’re welcome. I’m glad the video helped ☺️

[@ForrealVeri]

Hey,thank you very much for your Video!😀 I have a question too.do I need an iPhone too use the Camera?I mean because of the cable to Plug in.

[@AbellTo]

Thanks Tamara, I keep ‘hovering’ over a drone purchase and the mini 3 pro is a likely one because of its follow me and obstacle avoidance. They’re holding strong money on the used market too. Thanks Darren

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

I love the Mini 3 Pro, it’s a great drone.

[@AbellTo]

@@TamaraGabrielUK thank you.

On Prime Day, two weeks ago, both DJI and Potensic Mini 4K were sold for about 230€. So, yeah, they were hands down the best drones in the market for beginners. If you needed GPS tracking, Potensic was the way to go. Other than that, Mini 4K is the king of the entry level 3-axis drones. I wish it could have compatibility for Litchi (third party app that brings GPS tracking for some DJI drones), but oh well, DJI is just too lazy sometimes, so they haven't released the SE 2 and 4K SDKs. Mini 3 Pro wasn't the first to bring tracking and obstacle avoidance to DJI small drones, but really the first to bring back the DJI Spark capabilities, removed in the DJI Mavic Mini due to the 250 grams limit back then. They needed like four generations to fit the Spark features again in that weight. And Spark was only 50 grams more, but it is a big jump when it comes to these drones.

[@spirittravels.]

Great review. I've been looking at the neo, thinking it was a great little drone for what it does, but it doesn't have the mini 4K image quality or ability to fly for long enough. And as tempted as I am to get a mini 4K, I really would like the follow me and obstacle avoidance. So I suppose it soon becomes a DJI mini 3 or 4 pro scenario. Lol. Or do you think the mini 4k is good enough for the most part? Cheers,

[@bblande]

I feel like a follow mode could be added via software later.

[@smartphonevideography]

Very well explained - thank you so much😊 Do you know if the app is compatible with a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

You’re welcome ☺️ I would imagine it works. It worked when I had my S21 Ultra.

[@evdabbler]

That was very good and to the point thank you

[@mustavakybab9890]

Can you do a video ( have you done a video? ) of DJI Mini 4K - First Flight?

[@MuhammadBilalUlHussain]

Was your drone footages color graded or unedited(RAW)? Will appreciate your answer.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Straight out of the camera.

[@MuhammadBilalUlHussain]

@@TamaraGabrielUK Thanks for your response which one do you thick is better as beginner MINI 4K or MINI 3?

[@abivlog22]

Beautiful video.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Thanks!

[@domotriv]

Hello and congratulations for the beautiful video! I would really like to know what the technique of varying the playback speed is called? and where can I find the "vrooom" sounds you apply above?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Hey 👋🏾 The speed variation technique is called a speed ramp, the beginning of this video explains how I do it kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4bOZI2Epbl_r6ssi=eMfoaCrT7XJ3ka5X And for the sound effects, I get them from Motion Array geni.us/tEEoIY

[@domotriv]

You are fantastic! thanks for the reply 🤗

[@fredyrodriguez6525]

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy my first drone and have two offers to consider: the DJI Mini 3 for 369 EUR or the new DJI Mini 4K for 299 EUR. What are your thoughts? Is it worth spending an extra 70 EUR for the DJI Mini 3? Thanks for your advice!

[@danz58]

just unpacking my mini 4K. The camera seems so loose and floppy. Is it supposed to be that way?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Yeah, it has a certain amount of "floppiness" for the gimbal movement.

[@danz58]

@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

DJI re-released the Mini 2 as the Mini 4K?

[@jonkuder3299]

Pretty much, minus the light bar in the front.

[@Aliulmurtuza]

Amazing ❤

[@mslashay35]

Took my 4th flight tonight. Paid $239 on prime day. Crashed twice trying to maneuver off & on my balcony. I'm OK going straight up 🤣🤣🤣Practicing in the day and night is my plan. Still nervous and scared a pterodactyl will swoop it or it'll fall out of the sky into a 10, 000 mile hole.🤣🤣🤣

[@Mfluxya]

do i need to get a license operator id? do you have one and need one to fly?

[@Puddy_]

Yeah you do. In the UK, you'll need both a Flyer ID (Free, lasts for 5 years) as well as an operator ID (about £11, lasts for 1 year). You'll need the operator ID since the drone has a camera, and all drones, even those under 250g, that have a camera require an operator ID.

[@Jclaxic]

got mine and i love it#

[@AonghasAnderson]

Ooh what’s that at 1:43? Looks like a modular cube for a particular bag?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Yeah, it’s this camera insert from Moment geni.us/A8agnm

[@AonghasAnderson]

@@TamaraGabrielUK do you use it with one of the Moment bags? What do you think of the system? I have the Brevite at the moment which I like but doesn’t have a removable module per se

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

I was using the Brevite Jumper backpack before this, which I loved, but I prefer the Moment Setup because this backpack that I now use partner.shopmoment.com/4PvWQ3 has loads of pockets and compartments and can fit the camera cubes in too. Plus it's weathersealed unlike the Brevite Jumper.

[@AonghasAnderson]

@@TamaraGabrielUK would be awesome if you could do a review of it! I hear the sternum straps aren't removable? 🤔

[@thechriswhewell]

Isn't this just a rebadged Mini 2, which was originally released in 2020, just with a slightly uprated camera?

[@Rolypopoly]

I don't know about "just", but it does come at a considerably lower price point than the Mini 2 did

[@spearfishingpastor]

How different is the camera from the original Mini 2?

[@nicholsonjay4724]

Yes it is. It’s a repackaged mini 2 tech in mini se body. Reviewers that get these things free from DJI are required to put these videos up and not mention these facts. However, that being the case…it still is a good done for beginners.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

Wow I thought it was a typo confused with Mini 4, but it's a new product

[@jonkuder3299]

I'm pretty sure it just came out on April 29th. I had a hard time finding videos for this particular drone because it's so new.

[@nicholsonjay4724]

It’s just a repackage mini 2 in a mini se body. It’s not new.

[@noodlefoo]

Disappointed it is not available in Australia :(

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

😔

[@ashleysbaylor]

Can you fly this hands-free?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Do you mean have it tracking you?

[@Maj13280]

Im gonna ask my parents for this for christmas

[@RobboinSpain]

Hi Tamara, Amazon currently selling this for £200. This would be my 1st ever drone, but would I need to register it and need any particular certificates to fly it. I would be using it in Spain but im unsure if their regulations are the same as UK. Many thanks.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Hey. I don’t know about Spain’s regulations, I’m afraid. You’d have to look at their aviation authority website for info.

[@markshirley01]

Being UK, why don't you film 4K 50p.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

I only use high frame rates when I want to slow footage down. Otherwise, I shoot in 25fps.

[@carlos02966]

[@macauinchina]

Which is better video and image quality? Neo or Mini4K?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Mini 4K

[@macauinchina]

@@TamaraGabrielUK is it slightly better or too much better? Are the Neo quick draw functionalities compensate for the subpar quality than mini4k
