    Curious to hear what you guys think! With how good the Mini 4 Pro is, what are the use cases to get a larger drone? Seems to me that most people cover everything they need with this tiny little thing and you get the benefit that it's pocket sized!
  • @LyelCampanatti
    i just started using a mini 4 pro as well and this past weekend i took it in my mountain bike ride. oh my gosh ... the feeling of having a drone filming me in the mountains was indescribable. I love watching mountain bike competitions that are recorded with helicopters and drones, I felt like the mountain bike world champion with the drone filming me. i just put the video in my channel if you want to see the outcome. i used to try this recordings with an air2s but the mini4pro is much better with more sensors (lateral), no need for a phone attached to the controller, and the circles that you can easy put the drone werever you want. i loved the mini4pro!!!
  • @davejblair
    Thanks for the review David. Just starting on my drone journey and loving it already. Like and subbed. 👌👍
  • @TheRCNetwork
    Great video! Been wanting something for mountain biking. BTW, we have a shared vacation condo right there on Sail Bay…..looks like you’re right south of it. 😁👍
  • You don’t need to register if you are flying under recreational purposes. But if you are Part 107 and making any money with your drone it needs to be registered regardless of its weight.
  • @scoot77777
    Nicely Done! Very informative! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
  • @MyMaineDrone
    Thank you David! We are getting our Mini 4 Pro on Monday and are very excited to get to filming and trying out all these features!! I am encouraged to hear so many rave reviews about the Mini 4 Pro when comparing it to drones that are much more expensive!
  • @peterjones6733
    I love your enthusiasm!! Just bought this drone, not used it outside yet. I got 3 batteries and the RC 2. Excited!
  • @waddac2
    Cool video.... I bought one yesterday and did a first flight.... After updates and charging etc.... I had to fly in the dark. I love night flights though. This Mini 4 Pro is AMAZING.
  • @bretr5886
    So when you recorded did you have a setting on to get rid of the background noise like wind or even the drone itself? If not that's amazing how quiet it was . Excellent video thanks for the "hard" work you put into your videos.
  • @luciegagnon1238
    Great video! Thrilling to watch you on the skateboard with the drone keeping up. When you talk about « too windy » conditions, what does it translate too i.e. how many k/hr or m/hr ?
  • Honestly this video was exactly what I was looking for. You got out there and tried it out. That was legit. Much appreciated my guy!
  • Great review and I also love my mini 4 over all my other drones, even the Skydio 2. Oh and you have my subscription.
  • @tonyo6672
    I thought you gave a real honest opinion on the mini 4 and as you said for most occasions it would be fine! In the uk the sub 250g allows you to fly in build up areas and fly over small groups of people, so that's a big + also

    “you need to change those props and you don’t have the screw driver your screwed” literally! 🤣
