DJI Mini 4 Pro vs The Gauntlet (Autonomous Tracking Test)

(I had two mics on me, but I specifically used the Lav audio source for this entire video. The other mic was a backup.)

Note: At the moment, I haven't yet found a good DJI RC2 (controller with built-in screen), as the existing DJI RC1 remote holders compatible.

In this test I show how the new ActiveTrack 360 feature works on the DJI Mini 4 Pro, including both in open conditions and with trees. I also dive into the different FocusTrack settings for the ActiveTrack 360 feature.

Very impressive in the tricky tests. 99% of users will never try to do what you have shown us and so the avoidance capabilities in play are likely to be more than sufficient for most flyers.

The thanos of drone obstacle avoidance testing. Impressive how you could continue to fly after the tree crashes!

[DamienDavidO]

lol you are legit the only reviewer I wanted to watch for the active track. Really like how you go about explaining how they function and how it’s come along from all the other drones.

It's absolutely remarkable that DJI has evolved their camera drones that much in only a few short years. When professionals were discussing the DJI mini when it first came out, no one imagined it would become this good. It wasn't even considered possible. The mini 4 pro represents an incredible technological achievement.

I started shitting bricks at 4:08. The obstacle avoidance is honestly more impressive than I thought it would be

Tracking test was awesome. Was very impressed with the Mini 4 performance, as well as durability. Look forward to seeing your wind test.

[ididitfinallythankyou]

The best review of Mini 4 Pro so far. I'm still impressed with it's obstacle avoidance performance. Now, I just have to save some bucks to buy.

Haven't watched you in a few years but anytime I am looking for a new drone, I stop in to see how you're doing. Thanks for being so consistent and always so thorough.

Lots of videos showcasing lutz, music, and other stuff...this is the practicality of the drone I want to see. Excellent video. Thank you.

[RonaldBrown]

Great testing Ray, no one puts them through the torture like you do. And I was pretty impressed with how well it performed, and how durable it was after the crashes. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

[bsaleem]

Well done! Pretty impressive tracking. These small drones have come a long way since the DJI Spark 😄

[bobwhitewob]

Thanks Ray. Another very nice product review. I always look forward to your DJI drone reviews. Enjoy the nice weather.

Great review Ray. No punches pulled😂 would love a review of the DJI care too!

I think finally we have a Skydio beater. I figured the 3 might be good enough but didn’t go for it. I’m now ordering the mini Pro 4. Not even waiting for the famous wind test around the light house 😊

DJI can thank you for this sale👍

Excellent demo. Thanks. I have the original DJI mini without active track. I think this has convinced me to upgrade.

[ClearMind]

Best active track test. Thanks for putting it through the ringer for us.

OMG! This sent shivers up my spine as I can still recall clearly when I tried something similar with my Mini 3 Pro. One required a climb up a tall conifer to retrieve it and the other resulted in 7 of the blades shattered!😖

[thaovi]

Man, great upgrades from the previous mini’s. Good job DJI. Thanks for the awesome video.

Great video Ray. I always love watching your drone gauntlet testing, while informative as always, there's the added bonus of a certain degree of suspense around if the drone will make it or where it'll crash into a tree. 😂

[JustinNaff]

GREAT videos!!! I've been contemplating a Mini 4 for a while and your videos on it have me sold.

[cheeheifoo]

This is easily the most informative and entertaining video you've ever done!
