Bought the Fly More Combo Plus hoping for the larger batteries and also knowing it would transit my ID instead of having to buy a transmitter for an additional cost. I don't fly for any sort of business just to goof around and see the forest around my house. Could I have purchased a much cheaper option? Yep and I have a couple of times but none of my previous purchases really match the build quality of the DJI Mini 4 Pro. You can turn this on and once it links to satellites its ready to go, no calibration needed. I have had other drones with tons of features but all required some sort of calibration process when first powered on and really I just wanted to be able to turn it on and go. This drone allows that. Plus the RC 2 controller has a bright easy to use screen which doesn't need a cell phone. Plus it just feels well made and solid. My previous drone controllers needed your cell phone and would always lose the link between the controller and the phone while my drone was up in the air. Never a good feeling thinking your investment is flying away and there is nothing you can do about it. The RC2 controls are easy, there are tons of features, and all in easy to understand prompts. I was hoping I didn't get lost in a weird clunky app or some language translation that took a while to decipher. None of that is the case here it is easy to understand and follow and is effort free to use. I am surprised at how far this drone goes and never loses a signal or even loses bars of strength. Overall I was worried I would get another clunky drone that required some elaborate calibration each time I turned it on and instead this is power up and play. I really like how agile it is and quick to respond. Also, I like that it has sensors built in that warn you as you are getting close to objects. It did take a couple of minutes trying to figure out how to land and take off and I admit I needed some Google time to look for videos from other users showing me what I was doing wrong.
Drawbacks are really just the included battery charger as it charges one battery at a time in series even though all can be plugged in at the same time. I know you can get better chargers but for the price of this drone it should really include all you need. If that is the only drawback though then it is a true winner which it is.
It would be cool if DJI created some sort of chart that shows each customer what additional requirements or accessories are needed or even useful depending on exactly which drone they buy. If that chart included links to get FAA Certified according to what you plan to do along with additional requirements like the link to the TRUST certificate and even if you have all that maybe suggestions for accessories like some sort of light that your drone emits that can be seen over 3 miles which is also an FAA requirement for flying at night. I had no idea until today about this last requirement. That is an additional purchase but if everything was spelled out in an easy to understand format for customers it would make it more simple and effortless to purchase the correct drone. That being said, this drone is amazing, the camera takes incredibly clear photos and videos, just make sure the memory stick you purchase is high speed or the controller will use it but send you a warning your memory card is too slow.
Would I buy the Mini 4 PRO again? Definitely

Recommendation consideration:
My largest complaint is Best Buy labels this drone as not needing registration, but the kit I purchased only includes the plus batteries, which pushes the take-off weight over 250 grams requiring FAA registration. If you already have a 107 license or don't mind registering the drone I think this is a fantastic lightweight drone and would definitely recommend it to some people but not everyone.

Thankfully I had a friend who does aerial photography help me out and warned me as we unboxed the kit. The registration for recreational use is only $5 and is pretty quick to get.

First Flight:
This is my first drone, I have zero experience but I wanted to get a lightweight drone to scout hikes and other exploration trips with. This thing is incredibly easy to fly during the day with all the sensors and safety features. I watched a few youtube videos and and the included DJI training videos and I was up and flying in less than hour.

Range/Controller:
If you are out in the open with no buildings or trees you can easily get about 5 miles of signal transmission but the more objects block your signal then the shorter your range is. In my neighborhood, I get about 1.25 miles in any direction. With the included batteries its pretty easy to get a good elevation and just scan the area in the direction you want. The controller seems to have great image playback and resolution for what I need.

Camera:
Because I use the drone to scout areas I haven't played around much with the photography or video settings. But from what I have tried it takes amazing pictures and videos you'll have to figure out how in-depth you want to get with the setting to take full advantage of all the features but I definitely have room to grow into this area.

Charger:
One of the things I love about this setup is the charger. The dock connects via USBC so I can charge it in the car, or with a battery bank connected to a solar panel making it super convenient for longer backpacking trips. The batteries do take a while to charge, but thankfully they top off the highest-charged one first so you get a full battery first before it moves to the next highest-charged one. This is probably not the most efficient charging strategy but I definitely see the value.

Note: The drone and the remote feel like they get pretty warm when flying I don't know if that is just because of the weather I'm flying in currently or because of a lack of active cooling (I've seen other people mod their drones with extra fans whenever it's on but not flying to keep it cool).

The other included accessories:
The included bag is alright, I personally 3d printed a hard case so I can toss the drone in a backpack and not worry. I haven't had to change any of the propellers so no comments on the replacements or tools included for that.

Bis jetzt nutzte ich die allererste Mini-Drohne von DJI, die Mavic Mini. Ich war nicht mehr zufrieden mit dem Dynamikumfang der Kamera. Speziell im Sommer bekommt man kaum gute Bilder/Videos hin, wenn das Bild sehr helle und sehr dunkle Bereiche umfasst - und man hat mit der ersten Mini leider nur Jpeg Fotos und normale Videos machen können. Die Mini 4 Pro ist da schon sehr viel besser. Einerseits kann die Fotos RAW aufnehmen, andererseits kann das Video im °Quasi-Log-Format" von DJI aufgenommen werden - beides bring nun ein deutlich besseres Resultat, wenn man sich etwas Zeit fürs Entwickeln / fürs Grading nimmt. Der Sensor bleibt aber natürlich sozusagen ein Smarphone-Sensor, von welchem man auch keine Wunder erwarten darf. Auch wenn "Pro" draufsteht, würde ich die Qualität der Aufnahmen nicht als "Pro" bezeichnen. Ist aber egal, man kauft eine so kleine Drohne ja nicht, weil sie die ultimativen Aufnahmen liefert und der Preis ermöglich auch keine "Pro" Sensorik/Optik. In dieser Preisklasse haben die Drohnen eine fixe Blende, d.h. man muss mit ND Filtern arbeiten, um die Kamera an helle Gegebenheiten anzupassen.

Was ich allerdings vor dem Kauf gar nicht so realisiert hatte ist der Sprung, welchen die Software / die Steuerungsmöglichkeiten gemacht haben. Diese kleine Drohne hat so viele wirklich supernützliche Funktionen (z.B. die Tempomat-Funktion) und eine wirklich gute Objekterkennung, dass schöne Videoaufnahmen sehr einfach machbar sind. Zudem ist diese Drohne angenehm leise.

Die Mini 4 Pro ist C0 Klassiert - ich konnte aber einfach eine Umklassierung auf C1 machen. Dazu muss man 2 neue Kleber anbringen, einen Antrag (direkt in der Fernsteuerung) ausfüllen, 2 Fotos der Drohne hochladen. Ich bekam die Umklassierung innerhalb von 24 Stunden. So ist man also nicht auf die komische 120m Höhenbegrenzung über dem Startpunkt limitiert - was in einem bergigen Land wie der Schweiz ja zu unsinnigen Einschränkungen führt.

After doing thorough research, I decided to invest in the DJI Mini 4Pro with the RC N2 Controller. I have read that drone users have encountered connectivity issues between the RC Controller (without a built-in screen) and the Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. I own the Pro Max.

I sought advice from multiple forums and contacted DJI technical support. It became clear that this problem arises from the USB-C configuration of the Apple iPhone 15 Pro/Max. Interestingly, the standard iPhone 15 doesn't experience the same issue.

Instead of going through the hassle of returning it if it didn't work, I bought the combo with the RC 2 (built-in screen). The screen is clear and I don’t have to worry about using my cell phone.

This drone is truly outstanding, offering a multitude of modes that help capture exceptional videos right out of the box. The ability to switch to portrait mode is a game changer, enhancing the viewing experience on social media as most people use their cell phones to see their social media sites.

You should buy the combo, which includes three batteries. It's important to have extra batteries, as one is not enough. You should also consider investing in a landing pad to protect the propellers if you have to land on tall grass or dirt.

Note: If you are purchasing the drone for recreational use, be cautious when opting for the combo plus, which includes longer battery life but increases the drone's weight. If the weight exceeds 249g, you would need to register it with the FAA. Keeping the weight under 249g means it does not need to be registered with the FAA.

I hope this information helps others who are trying to decide which drone to purchase!
