DJI Mini 4 Pro Review: A sub-250 drone that can actually be used by the pros

This morning DJI released its latest sub-250 drone that we’ve seen leak over the last few weeks. Has the hype lived up after flying it for the past week? Are the changes worth upgrading from the Mini 3 Pro that came out less than a year and a half ago? Here’s our full review of the DJI Mini 4 Pro.

DJI Mini 3 Pro with extra batteries and DJI RC hits new $939 low (Save $219), more at $819

$939

Amazon now offers the DJI Mini 3 Pro Fly More Kit Plus for $938.78 shipped. Down from its usual $1,158 price tag, today’s offer amounts to $219 in savings while marking a new all-time low. As one of the first price cuts to date, this is clocking in at $51 under our previous mention. It’s also joined by the more standard Mini 3 Pro kit at $818.99, down from its usual $909 price tag. The entire drone weighs in under 249 grams, while still delivering 34-minute flight times and a robust set of obstacle avoidance tech. The 1/1.3-inch sensor is already a notable solution for aerial photography thanks to the ability to record 4K HDR videos, but there’s also a rotating gimbal that makes this the first DJI drone to be able to capture vertical video for sharing to your smartphone. Alongside the drone, you’re also getting the DJI RC controller as well as two extra batteries, a charging dock, extra propellers, and a carrying case. Take a look at the full specs in our coverage at DroneDJ and then head below for more.

Reg. $469+ From $380

Amazon is now offering the DJI Mini 3 Drone with DJI RC remote for $609 shipped. This package is not only the perfect way for a new pilot to get in on the aeriel photography this summer, but also at its all-time low. You’re saving $90 from the usual $699 price tag while scoring one of the first chances to save. Those who will be upgrading from an existing DJI drone and already have a controller can also make out for even less by scoring the DJI Mini 3 alone for $379.79. This one is down from the usual $469 price tag in order to land at the second-best yet. It’s within $1 of the all-time low, too.

DJI’s new Mini 3 delivers a more consumer-focused feature set that is packed into one of its most compact builds yet. The entire drone weighs in under 249 grams, while still delivering 38-minute flight times and a robust set of obstacle avoidance tech. The 1/1.3-inch sensor is already a notable solution for aerial photography thanks to the ability to record 4K HDR videos, but there’s also a rotating gimbal that makes this one of the first DJI drones to be able to capture vertical video for sharing to your smartphone.

DJI’s Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo sees first discount at $500 off with RC Pro controller

$4,499

Amazon is offering the DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo Drone for $4,499 shipped. Down $500 from its typical $4,999 going rate, which it still fetches at Best Buy, today’s deal comes in as the first discount that we’ve seen on this high-end drone since it was released. In fact, this is a fairly rare discount all around because typically the DJI drones we see go on sale are the low- to mid-range models, and we normally don’t see $500 in savings on them either, making this a particularly notable deal. This drone is designed to give you ultra high-quality footage or photos from above. It has a 4/3 CMOS Hassleblad camera which delivers 12.8 stops of dynamic range to “retain more details in highlights and shadows.” The included battery lets you fly for 46 minutes at a time, and you’ll get three total batteries in this kit for over two hours of flight time with the Mavic 3 Cine before you need to stop.

You’ll find omnidirectional obstacle sensing for safer flying, and the included RC Pro controller has a built-in screen and delivers 15-kilometer max transmission range. Further pushing the video functionality, the DJI Mavic 3 Cine features the ability to record in ProRes 422/HQ/LT as well as both H.264 and H.265 formats which will help out in providing more visual information when it comes time to edit. It also has HyperLapse, ActiveTrack, MasterShots, and Waypoint Flight functions so you can pre-program the drone with specific moves and have it perform them automatically for smoother recording. Be sure to watch our hands-on coverage of the Mavic 3 Cine if you want to learn more about the drone. Head below for additional information.

From $949

Amazon now offers the DJI FPV Combo for $999 shipped. Normally fetching $1,299, today’s offer amounts to $300 in savings and matches the lowest we’ve seen on a new condition model. Our last mention was back in April, for comparison. Those who don’t mind going the refurbished route can score a model from eBay right now for $949, saving you an extra $50 and marking a new all-time low. Includes a full warranty. While not the new Avata drone, DJI’s FPV offering arrives as a more affordable package for getting in on the first person flight sessions. In the box you’re getting the nimble quadcopter itself as well as a bundled controller and the FPV goggles themselves. One of its more eye-catching stats is the 60MPH top speed that allows the drone to keep up with cars and capture footage in scenarios that DJI’s other offerings couldn’t.

The Hover drone uses a unique foldable carbon fiber design to keep its wings safe

The consumer drone market has largely been dominated by DJI in the last few years. As interest grows, there has been a lack of viable alternatives to challenge the Phantom line of quadcopters.

A new startup out of Beijing has eyes on pushing its way into this space with a drone called Hover. Zero Zero Robotics is planning on using a few key features to catch the attention of potential pilots, including auto-follow and an ultra portable design. Ultimately, the question is less about capabilities but brand recognition. Does this up-and-comer stand a chance against the dominant DJI? More below.

DJI’s new professional-grade drone is incredibly powerful and intelligent

DJI has become synonymous with consumer and professional-grade drones as we’ve entered the fourth generation of its line of products. While we’re seeing deals on its entry-level Phantom 3 regularly, the high-end models reserved for filmmakers rarely drop in price. The consumer-focused drones are easy to fly but lack some advanced features desired by more advanced pilots.

Today, at the National Association of Broadcaster’s annual show in Las Vegas, DJI announced the Matrice 600. A top-of-the-line model that is loaded with features for filmmaking. With cutting-edge specs like a new video link system and camera-specific adaptation, this isn’t for your average weekend warrior.

Leading the parade of fresh additions is obstacle avoidance and a camera-based smart follow feature that tracks subjects automatically during flight. So what’s it going to cost? Full details below.

CES 2016 kicked off yesterday with a bang across a variety of product categories. Established drone manufacturer DJI announced a new consumer-focused 4K option that increases the availability of ultra-high resolution video to even more users. Late last night, Parrot lifted the veil on a new prototype with a modern take on a classic look.

While quadcopters have largely dominated this space for years, Parrot is using a fixed-wing look with its new DISCO prototype. The throwback design is notable but standout features like 50MPH speeds and 45 minutes of flight time are eye-popping specs. More below.
