Jan 20, 2024

Intro

Since October of 2019, the DJI Mini series has been a staple in the drone world as it provided immaculate imaging in a sub 250 gram package meaning in most places in the world, no license is required. Alongside the Mini series being able to provide powerful imaging, it provides superior controllability making it easy to control for pros, or novices. With the new Mini 4 Pro, DJI has brought industry leading features in full size drones like the Mavic 3, into a drone you can easily fit in your pocket. 

Mini 4 Pro - What makes it special? 

The Mini 4 Pro is packed full of useful features and tech to make your flying experience better, and safer. Firstly, lets look at the camera specs, the Mini 4 Pro has a camera capable of 4K (3840 x 2160 px) and can shoot at a butter smooth frame rate of 100FPS, compared to the Mini 3 Pro's 4K at 60FPS. Besides the camera, the Mini 4 Pro is DJI's first Sub 250 gram drone from DJI with APAS 5.0 which is a advanced piloting assistance system that aids pilots in preventing collisions via the onboard vision sensors and software. Lastly, the Mini 4 Pro has a max range of 18km in ideal conditions, permitting you to fly further.

Who is the Mini 4 Pro right for?

Since the inception of the Mini series, it has been primarily designed for those interested in starting with aerial photography/videography and not having to hassle with complicated hardware and software, and that continues to be true with the Mini 4 Pro. As seen with the previous generations, the Mini still uses the DJI Fly app which allows you to control all features of your drone, and review your footage with ease. The Mini 4 Pro also has advanced systems on board such as GPS and a vision positioning system that help keep the drone stable without pilot intervention and allow return to home with the push of a button.
