Introduction

The DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo Plus (RC 2) – model number MT4MFVD – promises a significant leap in portability and performance for compact drones. Having spent several weeks putting it through its paces, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This isn’t just a quick fly-around; I’ve tested its video capabilities in diverse environments, pushed its flight time limits, and explored the intricacies of its intelligent flight modes. Let’s dive in!

Key Features

The Mini 4 Pro boasts an impressive array of features, starting with its stunning 48MP camera capable of capturing incredibly detailed stills and 4K video at up to 100fps. The FocusTrack system provides reliable subject tracking, while the extended flight time of up to 45 minutes allows for more extensive filming sessions. The 20km FHD video transmission ensures a stable and clear connection, even at considerable distances. The inclusion of True Vertical Shooting is a significant plus for content creators targeting social media platforms. The improved obstacle avoidance system further enhances safety and ease of use. This model also houses a refined remote controller which provides a more intuitive and comfortable experience.

Performance & Flight Experience

The Mini 4 Pro’s performance exceeded my expectations. The flight stability is exceptional, even in moderate winds. The 4K video quality is remarkably sharp and clear, with minimal distortion. I particularly appreciated the ability to shoot smooth, cinematic footage at 100fps. The FocusTrack system worked reliably in most scenarios, although it occasionally struggled with fast-moving subjects in complex environments. The advertised 45-minute flight time proved accurate under ideal conditions; however, this did reduce with use of higher-resolution video capture and more demanding flight maneuvers. The range of 20km felt reassuring, but I never pushed it to the absolute limit during testing. Overall, the flight experience was both intuitive and enjoyable, thanks to the enhanced controls and responsiveness of the RC 2 remote.

I tested the drone in various conditions: open fields, urban environments, and even near some trees. The obstacle avoidance worked reliably and prevented numerous potential crashes, boosting my confidence while flying in tighter spaces. Image stabilization is another highlight – the footage remained incredibly smooth, minimizing the need for post-production stabilization.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent image quality, long flight time, reliable subject tracking, robust obstacle avoidance, improved remote controller.
• Cons: FocusTrack can struggle with very fast-moving subjects, price point is higher than some competitors.

Final Verdict

The DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo Plus (RC 2) – MT4MFVD is a powerful and versatile drone that delivers exceptional image quality and a smooth flight experience. While the price might be a barrier for some, the overall performance and advanced features justify the investment for professional and serious hobbyist users. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compact yet capable drone that excels in both photography and videography. Its ease of use and impressive features make it a joy to fly and operate.
