“Couldn't be happier with it”

71% of 268 verified owners recommend the DJI Mini 4 Pro, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.
4 owners report specific problemsin troubleshooting threads (setup, firmware, or hardware faults). These are capped in the score above so a problem-report thread can't dominate it — read them under the Doesn't recommend filter below.
Affiliate blogs here say 100% recommend, while the owner-based score is 71%. They earn a commission on every sale — so we show them for transparency but never let them move the score.
The headline score reflects owners (Reddit, enthusiast forums), independent lab tests, blogs with no affiliate links, and YouTube owner-comments when they line up with owners. YouTube and Affiliate blogs are shown for perspective but kept out here — hover the i for why.

“Couldn't be happier with it”
“The first day with my mini 4 pro I didnt realize that obstacle avoidance turned off with sport mode and flew my drone into a tree and it fell and was totaled.”
“Only issue I've had when it's windy is landing on my landing pad. Otherwise it's been fine if I just want to land anywhere. DJI Mini 4 Pro”
“The vision based system only works well in good lighting conditions and for large obstacles.”
“If I had to pick one RC vehicle from my arsenal and throw the rest away I’d keep the mini 4 pro!”
“The Mini 4 Pro is just too close to the Mini 3 Pro as far as photo & video quality.”
“dji mini 4 pro. Loved the idea of a drone but everywhere I want to use it I cannot. I've actively used this for photography once in the Mojave desert where there were no restrictions. I also did have one paying gig doing architectural photography with the drone, so it's not a huge regret. But it mostly sits on my shelf unused.”
“I just started last summer with drone flying so this is an easy one to learn on. I just wish the camera had a lens aperture capability and allow for longer exposures.”
“I couldn't be happier!”
“I’d agree on a lot but will also say the 2 flies the best”
“I use the 4 more than my other drones”
“Several days later a brand new fresh out of the box and charged dji mini 4 pro we bought to replace the now broken mini 3 pro and the same thing happened from a much greater distance.”
“A DJI Mini 4 Pro takes incredible pictures.”
“To swap between the Neo and the 4 you need to update the controller firmware every time. Not kidding. Ended up crazy frustrated with DJI support over this as it makes no sense”
“the Mini 4 Pro is already super lightweight and flimsy”
“flying in high wind is rarely an issue, so don't worry about it”
“Contacted their support and after checking the serial number they told me it was a firmware issue and that I need to send it back for a replacement and there was no other way around it.”
“I'm happy with the Mini 4 pro that it came with as part of the fly more combo but can't believe less than 4 hours of drone flight and controller usage, the RC2 controller crapped out.”
“I got a DJI mini 4 Pro that features advance tracking. For trails with deep vegetation like this one can get a little difficult to track you since it keep losing the subject, But it works.”
“Almost toasted my drone on the maiden flight. It was a bright green light (not strobe). I immediately zipped vertical to about 100 meters. But then the drone would not land, or descend.”
“Mini 4 pro is a great drone”
“Baterija mu dosta slabo traje i slabo mi hvata signal. Vec na 4-5 kilometara jebucka tak da nisam bas prezadovoljna. Ali kvaliteta videa je stvarno predobra”
“o meu é um Mini 4 pro, , assim que comprei, ativei a bateria normalmente que veio com o drone, mas apos a primeira atualização de firmware, a mesma já nao funcionava mais”
“The size and weight is a huge selling factor. Top notch specs, but more importantly to the casual user, the software to do amazing looking videos and photos.”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“it was because my obstacle sensors were off for some reason on my new mini 4 pro (I let my little brother fly it for a few minutes and I guess he did something l) and I hit a tree.”
“I am not getting the best results yet with Mini 4 Pro IMOO and my other drone a Dji Mini 2 SE has some different camera where the AI seems to do a better job when using the auto mode settings”
“I really like the look of it, and have wondered why DJI doesn't make the Mini 4 pro a color that's more visable other than grey, as it's easy to loose in the clouds.”

“Obstacle avoidance works very well except small leafless branches in the winter which there is lots of videos of the Mini 4 pro going down by a tiny stick.”
“I crashed my drone into the side of my house after one week of owning it. I walked into to Best Buy and 5 minutes later walked out with a brand new drone.”
“Bought a mini 4 pro and regardless of how much attention I paid while flying, still made a small mistake and got the drone wet for 20-30 seconds. It was 360 eur to repair (basically a new replacement) so yeah, it's worth it.”
“I have a dji mini 4 pro. But i hope they make a mini 5 pro with 1 inch sensor, and better obstical avoidence like the air 3 or air 3s.”
