Customer Ratings & Reviews

We’ve been wanting a drone to try out and see how they’ve improved over the years as we have had a few older “helicopter” types and some early quad copters, those were never that great, when we saw that DJI came out with the new Mini 4 Pro we had to give it a try. Unboxing: The nicely DJI logoed box is a lot smaller than I expected and upon opening you’ll see a soft sided carrying case with everything packed neatly inside. Once removed and opened, inside the case was the drone itself, the RC 2 controller, 3 extra range batteries, a 3-bay charger, camera/gimble protector, blade protector, two USB cords “one USB C to C, and one USB A to C, 3 sets of blades “also include screws”, a small screw driver, and user manual. I was really surprised at just how light this little drone is, its weight for the size is pretty amazing. During my reading on FCC rules, it states that any drone under 250g did not have to be registered, but, since this came with the extended range batteries, I decided to weigh it with the battery installed and it came in at 293g “SD card also installed”, so just to be on the safe side I went ahead and paid the $5 registration fee and registered the device with them. I also took their “TRUST” certification course, which is very easy and doesn’t take long to complete. Setting up: The first thing we did was to plug in the battery charging dock and put all the batteries in it, then plug in the controller to charge with one of our phone charging cables. I also proceeded to watch some of the setting up videos from the DJI Fly app available on the Play store “Android phones here”, and those I highly recommend watching if you haven’t flown a drone in a while or haven’t flown a DJI device at all. Now we proceeded to turn on the remote control, and this has a nice large touch screen that’s very clear, bright and easy to read. It’s about the same as using an android smart phone “more like a small tablet” and has about the same drop down as our tablets do for getting into the settings. The first thing it did was have us set up an account and get registered with DJI. It also had a firmware update that was done right away and we suggest doing that and not wait. There’s also a care package you can purchase that covers lost or damaged drone replacement. The plan gives you very reduced pricing on a replacement drone “2x a year” or repair service at a small fee with fast 3 day turn around. I would highly recommend getting this as I can see needing this service especially if you’ve never flown a drone before. My only issue is that you must purchase this plan within 48hrs of activation, that’s not much time to decide but we see it as worthwhile right from the get go. After setting up the remote, then we installed the freshly charged battery and turned on the drone by tapping the power button once then pressing for two seconds and releasing, “this is a safety feature so it doesn’t get turned on/off by accident, the same action is required for turning on the controller”. The remote paired with the drone and that’s when the activation stuff happens, the drone also had a firmware update you need to do that before going further. There are tons of settings for this drone, from camera to flight systems and you’ll want to make yourself familiar with everything before flying. The obstacle avoidance is one of the first things you need to “or should” change from stopping to avoiding so that the drone will fly around an obstacle instead of just flat stopping and going nowhere, this sort of confused me at first as I thought it was going to fly around an obstacle but instead just stopped. You also want to make sure the return to home is on so that way if anything does happen out of your control the drone can simply return to spot it took off from. Flying: This is one of the simplest drones I’ve ever flown. I hadn’t flown much of anything in a few years other than some mini drones or helicopters in the years past and things sure have changed. Once you’ve powered everything up and ready to fly just simply press the takeoff symbol and the drone will take off and hover about 3’ up. It’s amazingly quieter than some of the other’s I’ve flown and is so steady it’s amazing. What I found was if you put the switch in the top middle of the controller to “C” for Cinematic that slows down some of the actions of the controller for smooth shooting of videos, but this also keeps the controls from being so sensitive till you can get the feel of how it flies. Using “S” for Sport really amps up the controls and speeds, not using that till we are more used to flying and are comfortable with the higher speeds. It's been pretty windy here in the NW Phoenix area the last few days and I’m really impressed with the drone’s ability to keeps itself positioned with very little drift “as long as it’s not gusting”. I’m trying to fly when the winds are calmer but according to DJI it’s rated for up to 10mps or around 25mph wind resistance “that quite a bit for such a small drone” Now for shooting video and pictures, this is simply an amazing camera platform. The gimble allows you to rotate the camera vertically from around 90 degrees straight down to 60 degrees up from horizontal if you want to shoot up at something no problem “like looking up into a tree”. The quality of the 4k video is just outstanding, it can easily make someone look like a professional videographer with ease. There are so many options for programming in flight patterns and what you want the camera to do a book could easily be written on how to do everything and a lot of hands-on practice flying is going to go a long way. We’ve found some very good instructional videos on DJIs website and others on YouTube that really helped explain a lot of just what can be done. The camera gimble also lets you switch from Landscape to Portrait mode instantly with a simple tap on the controller’s screen. Conclusion: The drone is simply incredible, it’s small, lightweight, super easy to fly “after a little practice” and the video / picture quality is outstanding. The battery life with the batteries included in the Fly More kit easily last around 40 min which is plenty to get a lot of footage, and since there are 3 you can fly a long time. The RC 2 controller is really nice, it’s a huge upgrade from any of the ones we’ve used that has you dock your smart phone with it. Everything is built into the controller so there’s no need to add anything other than setting it up and registering the drone with the controller. The screen is large and amazingly clear, and is supposed to have about a 12mile “20km” line of sight range which is truly amazing. When setting it up you do have to attach the control sticks to the gimbals, they are underneath tucked in their own storage spots. I also added a SD card to the controller so that I could store screen captures there and mapping data. If you are in the market for a drone, doesn’t matter if you are new or experienced we think the new Mini 4 Pro from DJI will fit your needs perfectly.

Best series ever!! Hats off to dji for this commendable product!!!!

Great little aircraft, but beware of the obstacle sensors in the fall and winter months. They dont detect branches very well.

Love it! Everything I wanted in a drone and more. Looking forward to capturing the world around me.

This drone is amazing and very capable! I’ve even used it to start my own YouTube channel!

I think is the best drone for beginners. I’m new in this world of drones but I’m so excited.

Good deal, battery doesn’t last long, handy. Entry level.

Best performance in this class , even though it is mini class still better than ordinary

Very good Product, Good quality, And absolutely worth it for the price!

Boss of sub 250g. amazing, literally miles beyond the rest.

"Easily mastered drone control and enjoyed bird's-eye views

I would give this zero stars if possible. This drone has been a headache and actually had to return the first one I bought due to the camera not working from the start. I purchased this February of 2024 and just under a year later I had an issue with the RC2 controller. The problem started after doing the latest update(there are updates often and typically required before you fly). After updating, the RC2 controller screen went black and would not come back on despite powering on just fine. At first I didn’t think much of it and tried everything to fix the issue including letting it sit for a few weeks and coming back to find the persistent issue. That was a huge mistake because I reached out to service to find out there is only a 12 month warranty on the product. After describing the issue, they said it sounded like a firmware issue and my only option would be to send it in for service. After a couple days they sent me a message stating that the main board was having a malfunction and wasn’t connecting to the screen and that since it’s past the warranty it will be an additional $353.20 to replace the board! I find it so frustrating and disappointing that they expect me to fork out that much more money on a $1,200+ product only two weeks after their warranty expires when it’s an issue with Their tech, Not my misuse or negligence. Very disappointing from a major brand. I don’t plan on keeping this drone or my Osmo and would recommend highly reconsidering Before purchasing from the DJI Brand.

I am very happy with this drone. Drone comes with carrying bag, spare propellers, 3 battery pack, battery charging dock, small screwdriver and remote with beautiful display. Setup: Setup was very easy, I jad to download dji app and register my drone first. After that all I had to do is to remove protective lock from drone and it's camera and use it. Must add there was a firmware update that I did before first use. Use: First use was easy, I pushed both controlers arm up and drone took off and honestly this thing was so easy and pleasant to use that I was able to fly it event trought the house, which is so satisfying. I must add that powering both drone and controller requires two press ti power button, one short and other press and hold for about 3 seconds. After I took a drone out for some reason it didn't took of when I attempted to use remote buttons but controller has option on-screen for take off which is easy and convenient to use. Device has lots of option such as setting up maximum height (default was 120 meters), frame rate, obstacle avoidance, objects scanning, video coding, anti-flicker, storage (sd card or internal storage), my favorite home point and few others. Home point option is option that got updated on every use and it allows the drone to return to same spot where it took of from by single click. Navigating: As I mentioned this drone is very easy to navigate that I was even able to fly it trough my house. Remote has two joystick (with removable handles for easy storage), two buttons for picture and video, two circular buttons (one for zoom and other for camera gimbal) and two customizable buttons on the bottom. Remote also has slide on button for 3 modes, charge port and sd memory card slot. Video: This drone has great video quality (4k video), decent pictures but it does not record an audio, at least not in my experience. Storage: Both dron and remote have sd card slots and internal memory (2gb I think), but I have loaded 32gb sd card into both of them. Device comes with small but very nice storing/carrying bag and protective lock for drone which has purpose to protect the propellers and slide on protective cover for gimbal/camera. Battery time: I have fully charge my device before use and I got about half hour of flying time and the single battery which is good enough for me. Pros: Easy to use Super easy to navigate Lots of options Great video quality Great battery time Cons: No audio

Besides the sensors and "night vision" basically the same as mini 3 pro
