On September 25th of this year, DJI further increased the joy in the drone world by launching the DJI Mini 4 Pro. This new release represents a further development of the popular Mini 3 Pro and is aimed at beginners and hobby pilots who are looking for a compact flying experience. Despite the advances, the Mini 4 Pro remains true to its predecessor, it is compact, light and yet powerful.
Camera quality and gimbal:
The first difference can be found in the cameras of the drones. The Mini 3 Pro could record a maximum of 4K at 30 FPS, the new Mini 4 Pro can now record up to 4K at 60 FPS. The gimbal is the same for both, both have the exact same 3-axis gimbal which ensures stable recordings. Like its predecessor, the Mini 4 Pro can also shoot RAW, giving users more freedom in editing.
Handiness and weight:
The Mini 4 Pro retains the impressive weight of 249 grams that its predecessor had. This not only makes it incredibly handy and light, but it also saves you a lot of bureaucracy because it is below the legal weight limit.
Flight duration and speed:
The Mini 4 Pro maintains its impressive 30 minute flight time, just like its predecessor, the Mini 3 Pro. This flight duration ensures that each pilot can realize their creative vision.
The maximum flight speed of 57.6 km/h also remains unchanged, meaning both drones can fly through the air at high speeds.
Range:
Here, however, you can see a clear improvement in the Mini 4 Pro. While the Mini 3 Pro already impresses with its range of 10 kilometers, the Mini 4 Pro sets a new benchmark with a range of 18 kilometers. This expanded reach opens up new possibilities. With such a range you can take breathtaking aerial photos over even greater distances.
Conclusion:
After a detailed comparison of the two drones, it becomes clear that both have their own advantages and disadvantages. After a detailed comparison of the two drones, it becomes clear that both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
