However, the half-size selfie drone is an altogether different proposition.
If you want even simpler operation, and smart AI-subject tracking features, the Neo is a fun alternative.
The Mini 4K is currently not directly available from DJI in Australia.
It might be plastic, but the Mini 4K can take a few knocks.
Prices for this start at $59 / 35.
Users in Europe, for example, are restricted to 6km.
The Mini 4K is fed all of this data through GPS + GLONASS + Galileo satellite systems.
Cine mode is significantly slower than that.
Boomerang does a similar move while gradually gaining height.
Files are recorded onto microSD card, with compatibility for cards up to 256GB.
DJI has upped the maximum video bitrate to 100Mbps (it was 40Mbps in the Mini 2 SE).
There’s a standard color profile for photo and video what you see is what you get.
It’s taken a few knocks into tree branches and has so far withstood this rough treatment.
