The Mini 2 was a game changing drone when it was released almost 3 years ago. Now that we have the new Mini 4 Pro release, is this the time to upgrade to the DJI Mini 4 Pro?

Mini 2 is the best beginner drone, Mini 4 Pro (for almost 1,200$) definitely not beginners drone, it has tons of functionality that would be too overwhelming for a beginner – i used to have Mini 2, its more than capable drone for casual flying and filming
Thank you very much for sharing
I have the Mini 3 Pro which can’t sense water and tempted to land. It’s sad. I hope it’s not the same with the Mini 4 Pro.
I’m still using the original mini with WiFi when it first came out. Mostly use it for flying practice in tight spaces or if someone is interested in getting a drone. I’ve never crashed it but my friends have and still runs great (only broke props).
Lost my mini 2 in a tree, 2 weeks later had my mini 3 pro force land in a big river with 10% battery left. Just brought 2 second hand mini 2'S so I can fly stress free. Good video, thanks.
Mini 2 looks 10 times better than the mini 4 pro like if you agree.. and dji messes other things too
Did you have to use remote ID, my dji fpv drone will only take off if I connect my phone or remote ID with the new software update wont let me take off? Is these a way to get the original software back so the remote ID does'nt need to be used on take off?
Get a used 3 Pro for pennies
I am broke af, so i am keeping my mini 2 🙂 but if i had to choose, i d buy the air 3.
Mini2 has one major advantage over the 4. Drone hacks…. only reason why I won't ever upgrade from the mini 2. I can't see a new hack coming out for anything newer, I'd love to get the 4 but until that happens I'll stick with the 2.
Great video!
What about the mini 4 landing light and the noise level difference? 😊
Nice video, but I think it is unfair not to mention the huge price difference between the two.
Mini 2 vs Mini 4 Pro? I would rather strike the middle ground and go for the Mini 3 (not Pro).
Mini 3 has got the best battery life (38 min flight time), and is about 2x cheaper than Mini 4 Pro
Great comparison I just like my Mini II will need lots more "features" for me to upgrade from it and I'll be honest in 12 months you will probably holding the Mini 5.
The Remote is the major upgrade for me., sa remote pa lang sulit na😁
From DJI SPARK vlogs to present.. damn I'm old! HAHAHA! always love the content!
Mini 2 is a great workhorse.
Mini 4 is a fantastic upgrade.
I just don't get why the fancy new controller has the screen under the controls, so I have to hold it awkwardly and generally look down more. Why not put the screen above?
Still really happy with my mini 2. The feature I miss the most is active track for sure! When my mini 2 breaks down I'll definitely be buying the newest mini at that time. Maybe m4, hopefully a later version 😅
Excellent video!!
It is not just a major upgrade, its a humongous one.
That's the comparison i am waiting for. It is a really nice comparison full of information about what a person requires
how much
if DJI made a drone space ship in the far future, that’s like Tesla x10 smart, (hopefully safe) in the air and we ain’t got to pilot it, just choose a location and we going! ROFL
I am still flying the original mini…’any’ obstacle avoidance would be lovely 😂
Would love the upgrade on the camera too. 😎
I really like this comparison. I'm thinking about the Mini 4 Pro. I'm coming from the Mini Air 2.
I recently sold my Mini2 (for the Mini4 pro) that I loved, as it was flawless in performance. For the money, the Mini2 will go down in history as the best bang for the buck, such a phenomenal flyer. 2+ mile range, excellent camera, could fight most winds and Always came home.
Proud owner Dji mini 2 drone🤟😎💯
I'm waiting for the DJI Mini 13½S Air Pro, by then, maybe it will no longer have Geo fencing.
Until then I'll stick with my Autel drones.
I’m still making money with my mini 2. Planning on upgrading to the air 3 for the video capabilities but the photos are still great on the mini. Never had a client complain
Good, honest comparison!! Thank you!! Mini 2 still rocks!!
I was almost set on selling the mini 2 and getting the 4p. Now i'm keeping the 2 and saving up for the 4p.
I have both. The big difference for me is the confidence in transmission signal. You have to address the differences between the USA and Europe on this, as we have a reduced transmission range. I still enjoy, and use, the Mini 2 but sometimes the transmission is unpredictable and not just dependant upon range.
I used the Mini 4 for the first time last week whilst on holiday in Scotland and, after some initial trepidation based on using the Mini 2, I became confident that transmission would not be a problem. In addition the flashing lights on the legs made it much easier keep in sight in very grey conditions.
Is the camera better? A little, but not not what I'd call a professional camera, especially for still images, but that's the compromise between weight and sensor size. You still need good lighting to get decent image quality. I shoot in Raw format but if you're expecting the same image quality as a M43 or full frame sensor then dream on. D-Log M is very handy, as is 10 bit. Using DaVinci Resolve I use a DCTL to convert the Log footage to Arri Alexa LogC and then to DaVinci Wide Gamut which allows me to mix and match different Log formats.
Moving from the Mini 2 with the RC-N1 to the Mini 4 with the RC2 was a revelation. Being able to put the drone in the air within minutes, rather than trying to plug the phone in and boot up the app, is a game changer.
Is 360 degree OA important? I've had my Mini 2 for 2 years and have never crashed it (touch wood), and I treat the OA on the Mini 4 as if it isn't there. There is a danger of becoming reliant on the tech to replace common sense.
To conclude. Am I glad I bought the Mini 4? It's a close decision. If you're a photographer then I would say to save up and go for the Mavic 3 Classic or better as the sensor size increase will give a significant increase in image quality. Social media and B-Roll video? The Mini 4 offers a lot of functionality in an easy to carry package and out performs the Mini 2 in most areas.
Oh, and one thing I almost forgot. The Mini 4 is a lot quieter than the Mini 2 which always sounded a bit angry to me. The Mini 4 utilises larger props which probably contributes to the lower frequency.
Great video ! was waiting for this comparaison as I have the mini2 which I love… I think I will stick to it for a while… only if the mini4 would have been faster I would have done the upgrade.
I am going to buy an Air 3 and keep the Mini 2 for when I fly close to buildings, which is not very often. The Air 3 in my opinion is even better than M4P, better wind handling, faster, 2 cameras, stacked sensor, not limited to 120 m, better vlos, longer flight time etc.
Proud Mini 2 fly more combo since new. and I've been saying when the mini 5 drops maybe I'll upgrade. I paid 600$ that was a deal the prices are crazy so I'll save my pennies
dji upgrades move so fast
Just went to the Mini 4 after using the Mini 2 for years. Main reason is… WAYPOINTS! This is such a great feature to have so much more fun.
I regret selling my mini 2 fly more a while back
Great Video. Can I ask if the extended batter in the 4Pro takes the weight of the drone to above the 249g limit?
Mini 4pro is cool, but I'll stick to my Mini 2 for now 😊
But i winder if they will Make a Mini4 like how they made a Mini3 n Mini 3pro 🤔
I like how Dji does not outdate there drones
Was super happy with the mini 2 , bought used for 450 flown it for a year and just sold it for the same price as I mostly flew fob for fun instead of videos making , waiting for the depretiatio. curve to hit the avata lol.
But I’m glad I got out of it just before the mini 4 came out , now many people that follow my same buying philosophy will be looking into mini 3 and mini 3 pro
I Did The Upgrade And IT Was Worth it i can Tell you !!!!!
Good topic, it’s a lot easier to justify an upgrade to the Mini 4 Pro, when your coming from a Mini 2, than when your coming the Mini 3 Pro. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
Does the Mini 4 have SDK? If not, do you know when? Thanks…
Mini 2 might be the best drone ever made
I’ve had pixelation issues on the Mini 2 video feed for over 2 years which DJI did not try to address. This does not affect video recorded to the SD card, it’s just while I’m in flight and can happen just a couple of meters away so not a signal issue.
My point is, I’m holding off buying another DJI drone because after sales support on technical issues that don’t appear to affect every one is poor.
Great video and honest comparison !!!
