This formidable imaging system combines with optics featuring an equivalent focal length of 24mm and a wide F/1.7 aperture, delivering an expansive 82.1° viewing angle.

With a standard battery, the DJI Mini 4 Pro can stay airborne for an impressive 34 minutes. Opting for the proprietary extended battery (Plus) extends the flight time to a remarkable 45 minutes.

Safety takes center stage with the new DJI Mini 4 Pro, which incorporates obstacle-detection capabilities from all directions through a network of wide-angle and downward-looking sensors. The Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS) ensures automatic braking and obstacle avoidance, enhancing user confidence.

Several advanced features enhance the drone’s versatility. The Waypoint Flight feature allows users to create a customized flight path with predefined actions for capturing shots. Notably, the Mini 4 Pro supports vertical shooting, featuring a dedicated mode optimized for social media and smartphone viewing.

The ActiveTrack 360° function introduces advanced object-tracking capabilities, while the “Night Shot” mode promises improved low-light photography performance.
