DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone: Enhanced Features for Aerial Photography
After a day of hesitation, I finally headed to the store and placed my order [blushing].
I opted for the screen-equipped remote control version – the Fly More Combo.
I also added two years of DJI Care Refresh coverage and a 128GB memory card.
DJI has been absolutely booming lately!
Apart from the recently out-of-stock Pocket 3, drones are flying off the shelves like hotcakes.
Let me share why I chose the Mini 4 Pro:
1. **Perfect for Beginners:**
If you’re dipping your toes into the world of drones, an entry-level model is the way to go. The Mini 4 Pro stands out as DJI’s top pick in this category—it’s new, it sells like crazy, and it boasts impressive features. It builds on the Mini 3 Pro with omnidirectional obstacle avoidance (front, rear, bottom, sides, and even top views).
Its remote control delivers stunning 1080p/60fps video streaming, doubles the image download speed, and enhances color accuracy while supporting 4K video capture.
2. **Compact and Ultralight:**
Weighing under 249g, it qualifies as a “light aircraft,” making it incredibly portable for travel enthusiasts who want to capture breathtaking aerial footage without lugging heavy gear.
3. **User-Friendly Design:**
Even beginners can quickly get the hang of it thanks to its intuitive controls and straightforward interface.
That said, here are a few minor downsides:
1. Its lightweight design makes it less stable in strong winds.
2. When zooming in during shots, the image quality can become noticeably blurry—something mid-to-high-end models handle much better.
3. Flight time is relatively short, so investing in extra batteries is highly recommended.
4. In certain scenarios—like nighttime scenes, calm water surfaces, or objects that are hard to detect visually (think kite strings)—the obstacle avoidance system may not function effectively.
Given how prone drones are to crashes or getting lost, purchasing DJI Care Refresh offers some much-needed peace of mind [laugh-cry].
Now, all that’s left is waiting for the perfect moments to shoot and edit!
