DJI Mini 4 Pro review: the drone to buy if you only buy one drone
Under 249g, omnidirectional sensing, 4K/60 HDR and true vertical video, it removed every reason to buy bigger. Our score: 9 / 10 It slips under the line without cutting features The Mini 4 Pro stays under the 249g regulatory threshold, which in most countries means lighter rules, while adding omnidirectional obstacle sensing, a 1/1.3-inch sensor, and a gimbal that rotates for genuine vertical shooting. Bigger drones buy you little now For travel, real estate and social video, the step up to a heavier drone gains you a marginally bigger sensor and longer range you rarely use. For most people this is the correct drone. The good and the bad What works Sub-250g weight class Omnidirectional obstacle sensing True vertical video Long transmission range What doesn’t Single camera, no telephoto Wind resistance limited by the light weight Accessories add up Who it’s for Buy it if you want one capable, travel-friendly drone with the lightest regulatory burden. Skip it if you need a dual-camera system, a 1-inch-plus sensor or heavy-wind stability. Alternatives worth a look DJI Air 3S, dual cameras, longer battery, heavier. DJI Neo, cheaper, simpler, for close-range selfie shots. The verdict: The default drone recommendation, and it has been for a reason. Sources DJI
