My sister started flying with my old mini 1 and I sent her your video on the mini 1 Thanks for all your hard work
That’s awesome! I love the Mini 1
I always enjoy your content brother. Keep up the good work
Per usual. Love the review Billy. Thank you!! Still on the fence of jumping from my Mini 3 Pro to the 4
Thanks Bob! I know you are on the fence... I think you should just do it 😎
Thanks Billy...always Fantastic information on the Mini series!
Happy Flying
Thanks! Appreciate you stopping by!
well done, thanks for your efforts
I just got the mini 4 pro recently, and I'm loving it.
Cool. It's an awesome drone.
Do they have the same propellers or different ones? Which drone makes the most noise, please test it?
I made the jump from
The mini 3 pro to mini 4. I really like seeing the homepoint on the screen. And a ? For ya. Mini 4 pro or mavic 3 classic if you had to pick only one?
I watched a couple of comparison videos between these 2 drones, this one was the best.
Thanks 😎
just wanted to say a big thanks for this informative video. I have the original mavic mini and dont use it too much due to its limitations. I was considering a used Mavic 3, but after watching this, it makes sense to get the 4.
I’m looking for my first drone for my travel this spring. Is it worth getting 3pro or just bite the bullet and get min4pro? Ty.
Have air 2s thinking about upgrading is this an upgrade or air3?
Which drone would you recommend for real estate photography? With the possible DJI ban, I'm nervous buying a DJI with a possible ban
Does the Mini 4 Pro still suffer from heat issues, which I know happened with the 3 Pro
Video Idea: I'd like to see these drones race both horizontal & vertical. I think you could just choose race markers side-by-side the footage of each drone to see if the acceleration speeds are noticeable, obviously the Mini 4 drops faster but maybe it gets to point-A to point-B faster too. The 4 is more round so it might be able to climb slightly quicker too.
I need to do the math but for total air-time not-waisted... I wonder about the fun difference in a Mini 4 Pro Plus kit vs just getting an AIR 3. With the wild speed of an AIR 3 I imagine I'd be twice as likely to need the Flyaway/damage coverage which is basically like-the-cost of having a Mini with no coverage..
Which handle better wind, 3Pro or 4Pro?
Has the mini 3 got waypoints now ?
Will my mini pro 3 remote work with the mini pro 4?
Hi Billy, nice comparison of the Mini 3 to Mini 4, thank you. One advantage of the Mini 3 is that there are SDKs for the Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro. That lets those drones do mapping applications using third party apps like Map Pilot Pro. An advantage of the DJI RC2 compared to the RC1 is that the RC2 has the ability to output HDMI using a USB-C to HDMI cable.
Good points, thanks for leaving this comment!
I thought the RC1 for Mini 3 Pro did not allow third party apps....
Billy, did you not get it wrong about 4k at 60fps......I think it has 4k at 100fps!
The DJI MIni 4 Pro is best Mini drone yet. But I agree it's not a must upgrade if you already have the Mini 3 Pro. Unless you can't live without Waypoints and Omni-directional OA. Great review, and thanks for sharing Billy.
And you like flying more than 1000 ft without signal problems that makes the 3 basically useless.
Billy Kyle makes UA-cam videos? Who knew?
Lmfao
What was that weird battery overcurrent error at 6:56? Does it draw more juice than the battery can provide or something?
Willing to bet an attachment was added on the drone weighing it down a little more. That is an error that occurs when I put some payload on it occasionally.
Btw d cinelike on mini3pro 10bit aswell if shot in h265 i think
Great comparison, Billy! Anyone knows if oculus 2 can be used as virtual reality with any of those drones?
I don't believe the Oculus will work with these drones, if you really wanted the immersive FPV feel, i THINK you might be able to use DJI Goggles v2, DJI goggles 2, or DJI Goggles Integra - look into those options :)
Great video, but no one can answer my question I've been debating with these other drones guys.... My Skydio 2+ is down, should I pay for repairs knowing their current position or should I just move on to this DJI Mini 4 pro? Can you give me your honest opinion?
I can answer that... If your primary purpose for owning a drone is self tracking, repair the Skydio 2. If not, upgrade to the Mini 4. In my honest opinion, the only thing the S2 is good for is tracking. In every other way, the M4 is superior.
This^^^
Get it fixed and buy the Mini 4 Pro , best of both worlds , there will never be another consumer Skydio so you might as well have it repaired.
So I have a mini 3.. will this be a major upgrade from the regular 3?
A lot different, especially the obstacle avoidance and the range. The mini 3 is not a significant update from mini 2, and I feel like it is set to be obsoleted very soon, you can tell from the battery compatible. But if DJI release mini 4 (no pro), it might be worth to upgrade.
I am happy with my upgrade from Mini 2 to Mini 4 Pro ))
That’s a great upgrade
I have and like the Mini 3Pro, but ... BUT ... it's sooooo dissapointing that it doesn't have Waypoints!!!! Had I know that the Mini 4 Pro would be coming out when it did I would have waited for it (just like you Mavic 3 folks ... same dissapointment you have). Thanks Billy for your (always) great reviews. Cheers, Chuck (Jacksonville, FL)
I know! Same! And now I can't return mine because I crashed it lol... Gonna have to find a local buyer.
In the UK, the upgraded transmission on the Mini4pro has made no difference to the distance I can fly, in fact it is still the same as the Air, Air 2 and the S. Also the mini 3pro, none will out do the reach of one over the other. I know that it is down the CE transmission and the interference. Was hoping the 4pro could work its magic, but no joy. Best Dave
Can't fault DJI for a government issue.
Does the mini 3 pro have asteroid mode
What was that internal storage warning?
I just had my storage filled up. Haha
So a friend and I are splitting a gift for a relative who is a teenager and a budding photo/video enthusiast (uses an old Sony camera for video now) - one of us grabbed a Mini 3 pro when there was a deal at Best Buy for 699 with the RC2 vs the other grabbing the Mini 4 pro which is about 300 more. This is an extreme beginner getting this.. Is the min pro 4 with the waypoints and other advantages in your video an easier to learn system with more predictability? I have been arguing saying the avoidance system for since such a new flier is what will help most.. ( Mind you both of us have zero drone experience hence my search of You Tube videos for comparison.) We just want something that he can grow into and enjoy but not be so overwhelming he will quit. Any help would be appreciated. Just subscribed so I can check out other videos. Thanks.
There will be no difference as far as ease of use learning to fly the Mini 3 vs Mini 4. The features offered in the Mini 4 pro just gives more refinements (like Billy said). I think the consensus is if you don't already own Mini 3 Pro you should buy Mini 4 Pro, but its personal decision if the upgrading from 3 to 4 is worth it to you.
@@riskybusiness5 thanks for the response. We have to return 1 (He is getting one as Christmas gift). Kind of like the gift of the Magi story- we didnt talk and one of us bought the mini pro 3 and the other bought the mini pro 4. He is going to be brand new to the hobby, and never flown a drone. We got him the classes at local college. But I get the gist of your comment, thanks.
Wow thats an awesome gift for a relative. Bet he loves it. @annemarieleone6394
Im saved… I was wondering where you’ve been dude lol
Went on a small hiatus
@@billykyletotally fine! (:
What will get better in future minis? I think that chip technology will continue to improve giving us more processing power for higher framerates and more advanced computational photography/videography. Just as with the trend in smartphones, AI will continue to improve the quality we get from the same camera hardware. Additionally, sensor technology can improve without increasing weight. Arguably, battery technology can also improve. I don't predict the ability to have multiple cameras because of that weight budget, I think this will continue to be a feature of bigger drones. The ability to shoot vertical photos is a really nice trade-off though, maybe this will eventually get implemented into the bigger drones.
I might have upgraded to the 4pro if it didn't change the filter mount for no reason. Also, from every tech company, can't stand software given to new models that can be on older models. Otherwise, just waiting for a future generation with at least 120fps 4k rather than 100. Hopefully a higher bitrate with 422 color, 1 inch sensor, and improved omnidirectional sensors.
You’d think they would make it the same so people would be more likely to upgrade
Stacked cmos sensor may be better than 1 inch older tech
The only place to go now is quieter/smaller/more wind-resistant drones.
Oh Billy, this video from you is not helpful at all! LOL. Let me explain. I am trying desperately to hold on until the Mini5P only because I'm tired of chasing all upgrades from Apple and DJI. So when I watch videos like these, I get very tempted to just do it. You made the point asking, what more could they pack into a M5P? I've been asking myself the same question, which is basically now a crumbling of my resolve to hold off. Do you sense that I am talking myself into just taking the leap? And then I can kick myself in a year after I see what it is they can pack into the M5P. Thank you for all this great work you do. //Tom
More to go wrong with M4P. Returned it and got the can't- go- wrong- proven Mini 3.
next step would be change from heavy plastics to lighter stronger materials :)
I hope one day dji improved mini drone dynamic range video.. I think it is possible to get like iphone 13 dynamic range quality video..
Yeah me too
Still no course lock.
Mini 4 pro got 4k 60fps with hdr and 4k 100fps tho
Thank you so much for asking, not much, what’s going on with you?
Still no supports for Goggles.. So I refund with sealed package. waiting for official support. Then i will buy it again.
I plan to Velcro a little "all-in-one" video cam on top of the mini4 pro and use goggles.
i got the watered down mini 3.... i regret it a lot. I am looking to get a mini 4 pro soon.
Same I wish it had features like d cinelike or obstacle avoidance
Waypoints are all that matters
I got the mini 2 and wanna upgrade. Based on this the mini 4 is not a massive upgrade like from the 2 to the mini 3 pro. I think I'll get the 3 pro
You can probably save some money getting the Mini 3 Pro too. Good option
Only $100-$150 difference between the 3pro and 4pro.
Where
My mini 3 pro is hard to beat.
It has been a great unit for over a year.
Maybe when they make a mini 5 I will jump over. But until then. I will stay where I am.
Bet the mini 5 will have a 360 cam
Mavic 4 comes out as big surprise soon (Xmas secret, but I have kontaks heh heh 😊).. Flys at 200km/h in ultra sport mode and has mini jet pack system as well as 90 minute battery flight time....
Cool! That will be fun
@@billykyle.... or did I dream this 🤣
4k 100 isnt it?
Yes
Should have been called mini 3 Pro S
Then they wouldn't have sold as many! Lol
I just got rid of my mini 3. It's no comparison to my mini 4 pro I just bought
All these review videos, and not one you tuber has reviewed the collision avoidance system on the mini 4 pro! A big mention at the beginning of this video, explaining that the mini 4 pro has a better collision avoidance system and sensors, yet no testing of this feature by this reviewer! This is bad reviewing when such you tubers seem more concerned with plugging 1minute ad slots in their uploads than actually doing proper reviews!
More differences than you think and less than you care.
The same drone, don't buy it
It's not the same lol
Don’t buy what?! Some people are just full of negativity, either explain why other than saying “the same drone, don’t buy it.”
Does the Mini 4 Pro still suffer from heat issues, which I know happened with the 3 Pro
