Is it worth upgrading to the DJI Mini 4 Pro if you own the DJI Mini 3 ?
A quick video showing some of the differences plus I will have some more coming soon if you are interested - what do you think is it worth upgrading ?

Having a Mini 3 Pro and having the opportunity to get a free Mini 4 Pro from Argos Im still not going to upgrade,    nothing in the Mini 4 interests me that I dont already have in the Mini 3.

Very nice comparison video Hieth.  I'm sticking to my Mini 3 Pro and the Air 3 for the time being.  Maybe I'll upgrade when the Mini 5 Pro is released in 11 or 12 months.

Yeah a wise move I thing and like you said it may come with two cameras if it does my Mavic 3 Pro will probably never get used

A free one .... you could have taken it and give it away to charity ..... the Mini 3 Pro is awesome but I do like the night mode on the 4 and way points are useful for me even though I have these on my Mavic 3 Pro I wanted them in a smaller package for travel... take care cheers Hieth

Or I wait another year and a bit and get a free Mini 5 .   Although the rumours of the Mini 4 Ultra next spring are interesting.

I think the Mavic 3 Pro will remain the King until the Mavic 4 Pro releases.  From a marketing standpoint I think that DJI was wise to keep 3 lines of drones (Mini, Air, & Mavic).

wonder if they will add two cameras. I think they would add them, but then it would weigh too much. It would be interesting to see  what they cut to get rid of weight. the only thing i can think of is maybe the battery. With all of the EV stuff that governments are pushing I think that batteries will see large advancements, so it shouldn't be to much of an issue. Until then...

My guess is it will get the same camera the Pocket 3 is about to launch with,    if they can make it more efficient power wise then they could shrink the battery a little too

the problem is weight. If they could get better battery technology. they can only cut so much of the battery before they get a poor flight time.

Right,  but if you can get more power efficient you can cut the battery size and maintain the same flight times.

Being more efficient could just mean changing to more efficient chips on the main board that use thinner traces,     most of the mobile chips are slowly moving to the 3nm manufacturing process as it saves more power. That might even save a tiny bit of weight too.

maybe, but the drone without the battery is pritty light. I think the easiest way to cut weight is to upgrade the battery

Yes,a 1" camera sensor in a Mini 5 pro would be amazing I would think.Probably will happen
as the min 3 and 4 both had the same size sensor,and one would think they would not dare
have three mini drone new releases in a row without finding away to upgrade the mini 5 to a
full 1" camera sensor.
Enjoy your day.
