Curious to hear what you guys think! With how good the Mini 4 Pro is, what are the use cases to get a larger drone? Seems to me that most people cover everything they need with this tiny little thing and you get the benefit that it's pocket sized!

i just started using a mini 4 pro as well and this past weekend i took it in my mountain bike ride. oh my gosh ... the feeling of having a drone filming me in the mountains was indescribable. I love watching mountain bike competitions that are recorded with helicopters and drones, I felt like the mountain bike world champion with the drone filming me. i just put the video in my channel if you want to see the outcome. i used to try this recordings with an air2s but the mini4pro is much better with more sensors (lateral), no need for a phone attached to the controller, and the circles that you can easy put the drone werever you want. i loved the mini4pro!!!

You don’t need to register if you are flying under recreational purposes. But if you are Part 107 and making any money with your drone it needs to be registered regardless of its weight.

I just got the mini 4 pro yesterday as a birthday gift. I did my first flight this morning, and man this thing is absolutely amazing

[clifffawcett]

I have the DJi Mini 2 and this would be a major upgrade. The tracking is huge! And the obstacle avoidance! 👍🏻

[brandonleefilms-weddings]

I will definitely be getting the Mini 4 Pro, but you can't beat the 70mm on the Air 3 👍

Thanks for the review David. Just starting on my drone journey and loving it already. Like and subbed. 👌👍

[michaelgaldamez]

Honestly this video was exactly what I was looking for. You got out there and tried it out. That was legit. Much appreciated my guy!

I had the mini 3 and used it a TON. So I recently upgraded to the mini 4 pro for all of the fancy sensors, better camera, etc. I take it everywhere and it's been amazing. The drone will outfly and outshoot you for a long time. Learn how to adjust settings for your location, filters, planning flights, etc and you will get some amazing footage.

I have a few Dji Drones & since I got the mini it's been my go to.. and as you said unless it's a high windy day or I need the extra features the mini serves my purpose. esp just to keep my flying skills sharp.. def want the mini thanks for your video & feedback Would like to see you go through more of the features on the controller....

[waddac]

Cool video.... I bought one yesterday and did a first flight.... After updates and charging etc.... I had to fly in the dark. I love night flights though. This Mini 4 Pro is AMAZING.

I thought you gave a real honest opinion on the mini 4 and as you said for most occasions it would be fine! In the uk the sub 250g allows you to fly in build up areas and fly over small groups of people, so that's a big + also

Good stuff man, you never fail to make it fun.

Great video! Been wanting something for mountain biking. BTW, we have a shared vacation condo right there on Sail Bay…..looks like you’re right south of it. 😁👍

[peter-eq]

I love your enthusiasm!! Just bought this drone, not used it outside yet. I got 3 batteries and the RC 2. Excited!

[ericwillden]

Dude! Love your Vid! I just got the M4Pro a couple of weeks ago, and so still watching every vid on it. Yours was one of the best/well done I’ve seen. Especially the tracking scene! Excellent! I’m a new subscriber! 👍👍

[ogcryptowealth]

“you need to change those props and you don’t have the screw driver your screwed” literally! 🤣

[dronevisionrecordings]

Yeah, that track mode is sick. So much better than I thought it would be.

I'm still using the Lowepro Protactic but it's carrying my Sony A7IV/Multiple GMaster Lenses, DJI Air2S/Controller/3 Batteries, 2 GoPro's/batteries/charger, Elgato Streamdeck, Macbook Pro 16" M2 Max, iPad Pro M2 12.9, Multiple 140 wat Gan Chargers, About 10 Cables including HDMI, Thunderbolt, USB-Hubs. I have used it for maybe 3-years, daily and as a digital nomad. My point is only this. The LowePro is a FREAKING Great BAG! No Peak Design anything has lasted me much over a year. Even your old Protactic looks new still.

I bought this drone, I "upgraded" or what you will call it, from my DJI magic PRO 2, (I still own it). But I never use it because if the size, it doesn't fit in my backpack with all my gear for photographing wild animals, but this one! Mini 4 pro, what a beauty, fits like a charm and I think it's the drone you have with you that matters, so I would not choose any other drone over this one! I love it!
