DJI Mini 4 Pro review
The best all-round drone under 250 grams.
Verdict: If you can afford it, this is the drone most people should buy: safe, tiny, and good enough for paid work.

What we like
- ✓Omnidirectional obstacle sensing in a sub-250 g body

- ✓ActiveTrack subject tracking that actually works
- ✓Rotating gimbal for native vertical video
What we don't
- ✕Expensive compared with entry-level minis
- ✕Small sensor struggles more in low light than 1-inch drones
- ✕Light airframe gets pushed around in strong wind
Who should buy the DJI Mini 4 Pro?
Buy it if: Anyone who wants pro-looking footage, full obstacle sensing and no FAA registration for recreational flying.
Skip it if: Tight budgets — a first-time flyer can learn on a cheaper drone.
