DJI Mini 4 Pro

Packages from $959 to $1,159

DJI’s most advanced mini-camera drone to date. It integrates powerful imaging capabilities, omnidirectional obstacle sensing, ActiveTrack 360° with the new Trace Mode, and 20km FHD video transmission, bringing even more things to love for pros and beginners alike.

Weighing less than 249 g, Mini 4 Pro was designed for convenience on the go, and the drone’s weight means there’s no need for training or registration in a majority of countries and regions. When used with the standard flight battery, the drone comes in under 250g which is the legal weight limit requiring you to register with the FAA.

Bill’s review: If you’re just starting out but you don’t want to buy something that you’ll be disappointed with in a few weeks, I recommend the Mini 4 Pro. I think this is a great choice for a starter drone or an addition to your camera bag. It is very portable and easy to take on vacation but this drone is also capable of producing great photos and video. I take this drone with me on camping trips and carry it in my bike bag. It’s easy to deploy and makes it possible for me to capture great shots. The color and clarity are spectacular for such a small drone. Even though it’s tiny, it handles the wind very well. I like that it’s very quiet and doesn’t draw attention.
