Sadly I've not seen any good rumours for a while.   But I also not seen any rumours that it's cancelled either so there is still hope.

True, there is always hope it will come out early 2023.

Well maybe not too early,   spring would suite me now.

Dont believe all that focus pony and BS that is just being peddled by OCD Geeks and You Tubers wanting clicks who have no idea what an action camera is for. The footage you get from then is very good indeed. I bought 2 and am very pleased with them.

Good to hear you are not having issues with either of yours.

Spring would probably be a more appropriate launch date to maximize sales.

And that will give me time to save my pennies for it.

It sure will.  You'll probably have built up plenty of points by then also.

Yes,  that may help a little too

I'm sure it will.

Just noticed you are really hard pressing the 54M feet mark.  With 5 days left I'm hoping you break it this year.

Odd,   I thought I was there already.  .

Well it showed 53.9M yesterday but today it is showing 54.09M.    Guess the severs are just a bit slow updating after the info is synced.

I think the .09 was this mornings flight.   Before I got rained off play.    God job for the hat as it took the brunt of the weather.

Hats do come in handy, for both rain and sunny weather.

I’m pleased I put it on for my pm wander.   I just wish I’d brought the gloves too.

No doubt....got to protect those fingers.  

Looking at it, i personally think that hand catching would be quite possible, even though the props are upside down, i think that they are angled high enough to be away from ya fingers, maybe even more so than top facing props, i also think that the props are not as close to the body as one might think.

Probably the flat hand trick would be more appropriate for this one.

Looks fake and it seemingly is...

Seems to be,    last year we saw leaks of the MINI3 around this time that turned out to be very accurate.

Dang, did any of you read the DroneXL article? From the article -
Check out these computer generated images of a DJI Mini 4 prototype designed by drone enthusiast Chen Ji Gazer. Clearly these images do not show a ‘real’ DJi prototype, but it is rare to see design suggestions that are this well done. Let’s take a closer look.

I think this was posted days ago before that.

Yep, but the Drone XL article was posted by Sean in #16, first page of posts, this is page 3.

Actually, i was well aware that they are non-official renders around 4 days prior to this thread even existing, i keep up with OsitaLV's and DealsDrone's (3 days prior to this thread) twitter account, then there is this Italian page (19th) that also clearly states that its a render by Gazer. I do my due diligence and i don't think anyone on here has stated that it will be the new Mini 4 anyway, as with the Mini 3 Pro and the same goes for any other product leak or rumour (not just DJI), they get themselves a healthy discussion. Its the way of life, i can tell you one thing though, keeping on telling us that its not real will not stop the discussion, it hasn't before ;)

Hit 40+ here so far this morning, so yeah, prob not the best of days typical cause its meant to be a nice day here on the flat Norfolk/Suffolk border

44mph gusts here when I got up but they should calm to 31 by sunrise.    Either way I’ve got 10000 steps to get in so I just hope it’s dry.

It didn’t feel to bad I. Town. But now I’m walking along the coast I’d say to gusty to fly which is a shame as the sky could be an interesting one this morning.   

But if it does calm a bit I’ll be using the plus battery just in case.

Sadly same here.    And of course walking back was head on into the wind.  

And sunrise wasn’t great.

Yeah, not enough high cloud. You can se the wind on that water, i best it was a tad brisk, the windchill here was down to about 3C even though it was about 9C

It was a hat and glove morning to be sure.    And soggy under foot as we had a lot of rain last night.

I tend not to stray from the car lol, i like my gear laid out

Ive got my eye on next Tuesday, suppose dot be clear and low winds but blooming cooler here, I've been wanting to do another test seen as my last one was a tad disappointing, not had the right conditions as yet, be just my luck the humidity will be too high...

If you look at my original post it was phrased as a question.   I believe that makes it acceptable as that’s what Fox News always does.

DA, my remark has nothing to do with the original post. Just most of the others. Read back over some of your follow up posts.
