DJI , as promised earlier, introduced a new model of the Mini 4 Pro quadcopter, which features a weight of less than 250 g and omnidirectional detection with obstacle avoidance function. And for bloggers who love vertical video, there is also such a function. Prices start at $759.
The flight duration on a single charge of the Mini 4 Pro is up to 45 minutes. The drone has one camera, it is built on a 1/1.3-inch CMOS matrix with double native ISO, the focal length of the lens is 24 mm in 35mm equivalent, and the aperture is fixed F1.7.
The camera allows you to take 48 megapixel photos, digital zoom works up to 2x for photos and up to 4x for video. Video can be shot up to 4K/60p and 4K/100p for slow motion in 10-bit D-Log M format. There is a Night Shots mode, here ISO sensitivity rises to 12800.

Camera gimbal 3-axis, upward tilt up to 60°. As usual for DJI drones, there are a lot of creative features on board, such as panoramas, both vertical and horizontal, hyperlapses and all sorts of flight options: Drone, Circle, Spiral, Rocket, Boomerang and “Asteroid” and so on, which we have already seen in previous models, also have automatic gluing of MasterShots clips.

An important and sought-after feature for bloggers who film themselves from the air, FocusTrack, is available in 3 modes – Spotlight, Point of Interest and ActiveTrack 360°. To ensure that such experiments do not end up in an encounter with a tree or other obstacles, the Mini 4 Pro is equipped with 6 fish-eye sensors on the front, top and bottom to avoid obstacles. The drone is able to independently fly around an obstacle or hover in front of it. For those who don’t have enough protection, DJI has an optional 360° propeller cage. For those who do not have much flight training, the option with a frame is an excellent solution.
The propeller cage looks weird, but it’s useful
There is also a very useful function of flying along predetermined waypoints, which will be in demand, for example, for advertising filming. What is important, an optional set of ND16/64/256 filters is available for the Mini 4 Pro, as well as an optional wide-angle lens with a viewing angle of 100°.
Thanks to the OcuSync 4 data transmission system, the Mini 4 Pro has a range of up to 20 km, with FHD 1080p/60p video transmission. If consider. Since our horizon is 11 km, the drone can fly almost twice as far. Flight time is 34 minutes with the standard battery and up to 45 minutes with the Intelligent Flight Plus battery. Weight with a standard battery will be less than 250 g.
