The DJI Mini 4 Pro is not just a further development, but a revolution in the field of compact drones. Weighing less than 249 grams, it remains light and handy, which means fewer restrictions on flying in many countries. But what really sets it apart from its predecessor, the DJI Mini 3 Pro, are the numerous upgrades in almost every aspect.
Let's start with the camera: The Mini 4 Pro uses a new image processing platform and offers 4K/60fps HDR video, a significant improvement over the 4K/30fps specification of the Mini 3 Pro. It also supports 10-bit D-Log M and HLG color modes, taking post-production to a new level. The night video mode and simulated long exposure also open up completely new possibilities for shooting in difficult lighting conditions.
The omnidirectional obstacle detection is another highlight. While the Mini 3 Pro already had advanced sensor technology, the Mini 4 Pro goes one step further and offers all-round obstacle detection, which significantly increases safety when flying. The Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS) provides additional safety by automatically braking and avoiding obstacles.
The battery life of the DJI Mini 4 Pro is up to 34 minutes.
Video transmission has also been improved. The Mini 4 Pro uses the DJI O4 FHD system, which offers a maximum transmission range of up to 20 km. This is a significant leap compared to the range of the Mini 3 Pro and allows for more flexible and far-reaching control of the drone.
The Mini 4 Pro also comes with a range of new intelligent functions. ActiveTrack 360°, Waypoint flight and improved return functions are just some of the features that will be of interest to both beginners and experienced pilots. In Europe, the drone is equipped with C0 certification, which provides additional safety and comfort.
To summarize, the DJI Mini 4 Pro offers an impressive list of upgrades and improvements over the Mini 3 Pro. It sets new standards in the world of compact drones and is an excellent choice for both professionals and beginners. With its improved camera, enhanced video transmission and new smart features, the DJI Mini 4 Pro is a compact drone that doesn't compromise on performance and functionality.
