thanks. Try to do inside house tour video with mini 4 pro (even with prop guards) lol

What are the odds! I've been searching desperately for a comparison video between these two drones in the last 24 hours. Thank you!

This comparison seems quite unfair. First and foremost, the Mini 4 Pro's FPV capabilities are significantly overestimated. It lacks the power, speed, and throttle control needed for effective maneuvering, especially in stronger winds. These factors are crucial for a genuine FPV experience; it's not just about streaming the view to goggles.

Additionally, the most premium segment of drone filming is exclusive to FPV. Whether you're chasing cars, boats, or extreme athletes, the Mini 4 Pro falls short, while the Avata 2 has the performance needed for professional applications—it’s far from being just a toy.

I understand your preference for camera drones, but just as you detailed the Avata 2's limitations for traditional aerial shooting, it would be fair to address the Mini 4 Pro's limitations for FPV flying. FPV is no less nuanced than conventional camera drone operation; I’d argue it’s even more complex.

I love my DJI mini 4 pro so much I went out and brought an Avata 2 as well so that should do for a bit. I'm just waiting on a good enough day to get them up at the same time, see how that goes. Retirement might be more fun than I was thinking 😜🚁

I own a Mini 4 pro, its one of my favourite purchases. Turned me into a whole DJI fanboy. I love flying it and its incredibly smart with its 6 obstacle avoidance cameras

[Ice_box]

I own both and can say I apples and oranges .. each have their pros and cons but together they are a killer combo. I take cinematic shots and kind of scan area of filming for potential hazards with m4p then come in avata 2 for the proximity flying and crazy shots you see online 🎉

I crashed my Avata 2 five times the first time I had it out. That drone is a BEAST! It flips its self right over and takes off again! Let's see you do that with a mini 4?

[melsman]

Excellent evaluation! As others have mentioned, I own both. I've been in this hobby for 45 years, flying quadcopters since they first came out (Flamewheel 450 anyone?). You summed it up nicely when you stated the Mini 4 Pro is a flying camera; the Avata 2 is an aerobatic FPV drone. Both can do a little of each, but they are specialized for their specific purposes. One note: The Avata 2 price includes the Goggles; the Mini 4 Pro price does not. So if you want to fly the Mini 4 Pro with the Goggles 3, you'll need to fork over another $500 or so.

Nice comparison video, very well done. I can confidently scratch the Avata off my list. Thanks for saving me time and money.

[kalubaification]

I just got the avata 2, I'm not into photography and filming but I do like cool toys

[markfeldhaus]

I have a Pro 4 with goggles and motion controller. Have flown over 10k ft with 3 bars of reception. Clear video and all!

[ushighwaytruckview.]

great review; really helped make up my mind; thanks!

Avata 2 and Mini 4 Pro are different tools for different purposes ... they both have their value ... Avata2 is aimed at very close and tight spaces shooting whereas Mini Pro 4 is better all around ... me personally I have an Air 3 and the Avata2 ... and they both are distinctively functional and valuable to me. When people get caught up in comparisons to try to buy ONE it all comes out to not enough money to buy both :)

[hendyirawadi]

thx alot, I almost buy avata2 😄. Glad I watched this first 😍

[mo_r_h]

I was about to buy avata 2 exactly for those reasons you mentioned but now I'm pretty sure i want mini 4. Thank you so much❤

[ChristopherChanCanada]

It really helps me picking up the correct drone. Thank you !!

[yashg]

I am looking to get my first drone and was wondering if I should get Mini 4 pro or the Avata. This video made it pretty clear that Mini 4 is the one for me. I like how you explained whether one drone can play the role of another. It seems Mini 4 can play an FPV whne need to an extent but an FPV drone can't really become your memory capture camera in the air. FPV is more for the experience of flying. Mini 4 pro is about a good quality camera that can fly.

[Mens_Development_Coaching]

Just what I was looking for information wise, great video

[ocelliotts]

Answered all the questions I had, thank you! Going Mini 4 Pro.
