DJI has introduced the Mini 4 Pro, a follow-up to last year's Mini 3 Pro. Equipped with the same 48 MP and 1/1.3-inch CMOS camera as its predecessor, the Mini 4 Pro adds superior obstacle sensing, true vertical shooting and OcuSync 4 technology, among other changes.
Camera Gadget Launch

DJI has now introduced the Mini 4 Pro, another sub 249 g drone that complies with the EU's C0 drone regulations. As expected, the Mini 4 Pro relies on a single camera system, which appears to be the same one used in the Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro and Air 3. Thus, the Mini 4 Pro has a 48 MP primary camera based around a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with a 24 mm equivalent focal length and an f/1.7 aperture.

With that said, the Mini 4 Pro can shoot videos at up to 4K/60 FPS or 4K/100 FPS for capturing slow-motion footage. DJI states that the Mini 4 Pro also offers true vertical shooting and omnidirectional obstacle sensing, mirroring its heavier drones. Additionally, the the latest Mini drone adds ActiveTrack 360° and HDR, while maintaining support for D-Log M, Hyperlapse, Panorama, QuickShots, MasterShots and Night Shots Video camera modes.

Moreover, the Mini 4 Pro is OcuSync 4 (O4) compatible, like the Air 3 and Mavic 3 Pro, an upgrade over the O3 technology that the Mini 3 Pro supports. As a result, the Mini 4 Pro can transmit videos at 1080p from up to 20 km away, but only 8 km in Europe. Similarly, DJI's latest Mini drone has a 34-minute default flight time that can be extended to 45 minutes with the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus, albeit not in the EU.

The Mini 4 Pro will start at €799 on its own. Alternatively, DJI sells the new drone with an RC 2 remote controller for €1,129 or with the Fly More Combo, which also includes the RC remote controller, for XXXXX. For reference, the Fly More Combo adds two more batteries, two additional pairs of propellers, a shoulder bag and a charging hub. Please see DJI's website for more details.
