DJI Mini 4 Pro - Night Mode - How Good Is It ?

- Trying out Night Mode for the first time on a DJI Mini 4 Pro drone, how sweet this little drone is !!! I'm having a blast learning how to fly a drone and so far the Mini 4 Pro does NOT disappoint... with the few things I have learned so far. I had a little trouble activating Night Mode, but that was due to my beginner's inexperience. Note to self... you must activate Night Mode BEFORE you start recording video on the drone... DOH !!!
Very Cool Wayne... Thanks for taking me along for the flight !! Cheers 🇨🇦
You could make a video where your drone follows you and your boat around the bay 🤔😁👍
This reminded me of a friend of mine that has a Sea Doo YT channel and he does a lot of filming from his drone following the Sea Doo. Once he was up in Honey Harbour and realized the drone had latched on to another boat that was headed out into Georgian Bay. Once he realized it the drone was running low on battery. He did a hand catch with 5% battery left.
@@BikeBoatandTravel Ooooh 😳... I'll betcha one of his orifices was puckering 😖🥴🤣
There’s always a surprise when shooting at night. Very nice. Glad that car didn’t crash into your SpYder.
Everything looks different from above. And that car looked like it came too close for comfort to my Spyder, but I'm sure it wasn't that close 😁👍
Very impressive, Wayne.. That was a big shortcoming on my S2... no low light or night flying.! Your Mini 4 is getting it done!
The engineers at DJI pulled some rabbits out of a hat, to pack in all the features they put into the Mini 4 and keep it at 249 grams. Thanks Martin 😁👍
What a nice view over the water...you are getting really good at this drone flying!
Well, thank you Jody... well I'm getting good at selecting the smoother movement clips and cutting the clips that aren't so smooth 🤔🤫😅
@@SpyderWayne well... There's that too 🤣
I agree with Jody. The reason I haven't purchased one yet is I know it would be (stuck) in a tree in no time (or drop straight into the water). Great flying!!
@@stanweaverIf you ever get one from DJI, get the DJI Care Refresh Warranty, $80 for 1 yr, covers 2 drone replacements including 1 flyaway/lost drone, or $125 for 2 yrs which includes 4 drone replacements including 2 flyaway/lost drones. I purchased the 2 yr warranty because I had never ever flown a drone before, I'm a beginner rookie inexperienced potential lost or crashing drone pilot 🤔😳🤣🤣
Man oh man those shots are quite impressive..I had no idea they were that capable. Thanks for the info
Haha, the DJI engineers deserve the credit, I just had to learn how to turn it on, press some buttons, and play with a couple of joy sticks 🤔😅 Thanjs, Ryan 😁👍
That footage at night was IMPRESSIVE! Very nice!
I think little towns can look so much prettier at night from a drone 😁👍
The night footage is amazing! Outstanding update should help folks decide if this the right drone for them. I loved the acoustic guitar in this video.
I'm sure you're having an amazing time on the other side of the world, Eric. Your pics have been awesome 😁👍👍
Oh...so very pretty at sunset!
It was only partly cloudy, but a few of those rascal clouds decided to have the sun play hide and seek on me right at sunset 😡😫🤣
Wow ! The night footage is excellent buddy ! Well done Wayne
Thanks Eddie, it is an awesome little flying camera 😂👍
Wow.. this drone at night mode so clear and beautiful.. I just bought one, but I didn't have sd card yet, and I have to watch most youtuber how to set the drone fly easy .. but I fly in my house... wow it's so quiet than my air a lot ✌️.. have a great fly Sir... 🤓
It is an amazing little drone 😁👍
Thats a great feature for drone shots .....nice one Wayne................JB..
Love this lil drone, thanks JB 😁👍
Nice video. Your narrative makes it. You are also in exactly the same mode as me. I ride a motorcycle quite a bit, I like to tinker with the tech, I am an avid photographer and I am 70.
I love my Mini 4 Pro. I have been shy about flying it at night without obstacle avoidance. I am still warming up to it.
If you do the screen push button take-off and then take it up to 10 meters and hover for 5+ seconds, the drone will nail the RTH landing accuracy just about every time....pro tip.
Awesome comment, thank you. I wish I was better at photography to be able to dial in the settings manually on both my drone and my cameras, but I'm learning. Retirement will be here in about 9 weeks from now, and I will be able to spend more time riding and having more fun with my videos. Thank you so much for your kind words, Sir 😁👍
Hey Wayne, what a great idea for a video and such a nice location. Cheers
It's an amazing little drone. It can make a newbie drone flyer who doesn't yet know what he's doing, to look like he knows what he's doing 😳🤪🤣 Thanks Dave 😂👍
Man thats cool!!! Gopro should take note of the clarity and night mode on the DJI~~ Great job SW!
I believe GoPro is still king of the hill for action cameras. DJI is king of the hill for consumer and recreational drones, but DJI is giving GoPro a run for their money in the action camera arena, and now Insta360 just released an action camera this week, that apparently has awesome night view capability. Competition is good 😃👍👍
Hey buddy thanks for the video. The night time flight was awesome. That camera does a good job at night.
Ryde safe and God Bless
Thank you so much Artie 😁👍
Great shots, man! Very cool. Still playing with my insta360 and GoPro10.
Half the fun is getting new video gear, and half the fun is playing with it, and half the fun is editing the fruits of your labor.... 🤔... yes, that's 3 halves, but who's counting 🥴🤣... 😁👍
Nice job editing, Wayne… and the music goes great with it. I just tried out a new Vifly strobe on my M4P last night (not total darkness cuz it got very cold) and it is very noticeable while flying.
Yeah, the strobes on the drone are not very bright
Video looks good,I really like your background music,
Thank you so much 😁👍
So awesome Wayne. You’re gonna make me upgrade to the 4! I don’t think my 3 has night mode.
Haha, thanks RJ. YOu know I almost bought the Mini 3, kept humming and hawing over it, and now I know why. When the Mini 4 came out, I tried humming and hawing, and I only lasted 1 day, and then I thought why not 🤔🤭😁👍
Sub 240g is the future of the hobby, great footage, regards
It's my first drone, and I'm hooked and loving it. Many thanks 😁👍
Beautiful flying. If you don’t want the evening to look so bright you can use manual settings. Have fun mate.
Yep, I've been learning a little bit about ISO, aperature, and fps, but man-oh-man, I never realized the magic that photographers can do, until learning how to use cameras with this UA-cam hobby, the more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. I'll play around, my best lessons are learning from making mistakes 😳😖🤪🤣
Thanks, Chewie 😁👍
I remember many moons ago in high school learning photography and I have always liked it but I agree photographers amaze me how they know just the perfect lighting!
To keep learning all the time is a good thing! I don’t think I could do a drone!
Wow the night time is awesome!!!! Love it!!!
@HarleyGurl114 I think you can, I think you can, I think you can.... 😅 ... this little drone can pretty much fly itself, my primary function is to make sure the batteries are charged up 🤭🤣🤣
@HarleyGurl114 Thanks Gloria 🤗😁
Great video.
From few weeks I also have DJI mini 4 pro.
Few minutes ago I bought set of filters.
I understand that durring the night flight you didn't use light pollution filter ?
Mini pro 4 is amazing but this lens needs set of ND filters.
I'm wondering if I also need light pollution filter for the night flights..
Thanks.
You are correct, I do not have filters, this is my first drone, and I have much to learn, including how and when to use filters. 😁👍
@@SpyderWayne I understand. Flighting is one thing and other thinng is making good photos or recording videos. I also don't have much experince but I can see that many guys who are using mini 4 pro are recording more professional videos than me.
If you are looking for more info about filters, this video should help you ''DJI Mini 4 Pro ND Filters - Why you need them".
All the best ;)
Great video. Excellent choice of music tracks. Were you using any filters for night flying?
When it comes to photography, all my cameras are much smarter than me, including the camera on this awesome tiny drone. I don't have or use filters, and I let the cameras do their thing automatically. 😁
Great video, Wayne! I love how you compared 3 different lighting conditions and my favorite was the last one. How did you get what looks like a complete recording of your phones screen showing all of the data from the drone?
No phone used. I bought the Mini 4 Pro that came with the new RC2 Controller, which has a built-in screen on the controller. Now that I have the DJI Mic, I just clipped a mic/transmitter to my shirt. The receiver plugs directly into the RC2 controller in the USB C port. The controller itself has a screen recording feature (which is the parts in this video showing all the telemetry data), and when you have a mic plugged into the controller, the screen recording file contains the audio. So I end up with 4k drone footage from the drone SD card, and my audio is from the 1080p screen recording file stored on the controller. I just had to line up the audio file with the drone footage file whenever it showed me talking on the video. The rest of the drone video doesn't have to exactly match up exactly to the audio file, just get it close enough, no one can see if you're off by a few seconds (when you're not in the video, but talking away) It's easier than it seems in my lengthy explanation. 😁👍
very cool! Thank you for sharing all of those details. I see a drone in my future!@@SpyderWayne
Haven't heard of Olcott...is that close to Lewiston...I could google it or wayne it lol
Haha, believe or not, you've seen Olcott many times in my videos. First time was at the end of Part 2 of my very first video. The last time, was the video where you mentioned you liked the clock that I didn't know was in my video 😮😊. And the little lighthouse has been in a couple videos 🤭😁🤗
@@SpyderWayne ohhhhh.... And I was wondering where I had seen that lighthouse before! 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely work, Wayne. Is there no restrictions for flying at night over there?
Here in AUS it’s illegal to fly at night, unless you have commercial permits.
In the U.S., to fly a drone at night, the drone must have strobe lighting visible at 3 nautical miles. The Mini 4 Pro has strobe lighting, but I don't know for sure if these lights are compliant with the 3 nautical mile rule. The strobe lights on the Mini 3 Pro were NOT in compliance with this FAA rule. I don't know if there are additional rules if you're flying a drone for commercial purposes, which includes using drone footage on a monetized video on UA-cam, which I don't qualify for yet. If that day comes and I choose to monetize, I would have to have a UAS Part 107 license. Back to your question, yes we can fly drones at night without special permits, but the drone and pilot must be in compliance with the same rules for flying their drone in the daytime, and at night, having compliant strobe lighting. Haha, my answer went on way too long 😳🤪😁
night vision looked good
Yeah, it was better than I expected. Thanks 😁👍
Great video! I just bought a Mini 4 pro last month and am ready to night fly! BTW what software do you use to blend in music to your videos?
You can use any video editing software to bring in a music file and edit the music into your video. I use Corel Video Studio Ultimate. Thanks for watching, and for your comment 😁👍
❤❤❤
😊👍
Does it have flashing lights on it for night time flight?
That's a good question. The Mini 4 Pro does have strobe lights, but to be honest, I don't know if those lights meet the FAA rules for night flying (being visible for 3 nautical miles).
Not bad at all
