DJI Mini 4 PRo Review - Worth the upgrade?

4k, hdr, slow mo, 10-bit…. and much more

This small-but-mighty drone packs a massive punch for not too unreasonable of a price. When you talk about a camera that can do 4k60 10-bit video, can take 48mp stills, has log profiles and slow-motion capabilities, and has a Wide F1.7 aperture - you’re probably thinking of a much larger and more expensive camera, not a drone.

But that’s exactly what the DJI Mini 4 Pro does - adding some notable upgrades from the DJI Mini 3 released just about a year prior.

For about $760 (up to $1,250 depending on RC and kit), you can get in with all these high-end professional videos specs in a drone that can actually fit in your pocket and doesn’t require a license to fly.

More than all that, it also has 360-degree obstacle avoidance, a much improved range if you opt for the new DJI RC2, better night mode, and a true log profile - all much welcomed improvements over the DJI mini 3.

But is it worth the upgrade?

That’s what I try to answer in this video. Obviously, it’s a tough question - one that is highly dependent on your use case, what you currently have, and your budget.

So is this the right drone for you? Watch the video above!
