“Agree the M4 is seriously impressive. It’s the first drone I’ve owned where the photos don’t look like they came from a phone.”— grimdar on Reddit
“Thanks to the Mavic 4 Pro's fantastic low light optics and zoom capabilities, I was able to zoom in later in the video and identify the guy.”— Suicidal_Amoeba on Reddit
“My first Mavic 4 failed in less than 3 months (has a weird vibrating gimbal that started mid-flight out of nowhere) and I just parked it and bought another. It sucks, but it’s the risk you take with the state of the world right now.”— Suspicious-Block-614 on Reddit
“Couldn't be happier with it”— @stevenbenson4125 on YouTube
“If I had to pick one RC vehicle from my arsenal and throw the rest away I’d keep the mini 4 pro!”— @chainbenwa2713 on YouTube
“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.”— Chemtrail_hollywood on Reddit
