DJI Mini 4 Pro vs The Gauntlet (Autonomous Tracking Test)

Here's your complete DJI Mini 4 Pro Active Track test, putting it through the gauntlet to see how well it handles a variety of scenarios from tree tunnels to open conditions to forests, and plenty more! Buy the DJI Mini 4 Pro here (amzn.to/3PuGt9L), which helps support the channel!

Handlebar mount (For DJI RC-N2 & N1): amzn.to/3RB39Ib
Mic I used: amzn.to/3ZzPIKq
Lav I used with the mic: amzn.to/3ZzzEbn
(I had two mics on me, but I specifically used the Lav audio source for this entire video. The other mic was a backup.)

Note: At the moment, I haven't yet found a good DJI RC2 (controller with built-in screen), as the existing DJI RC1 remote holders compatible.

In this test I show how the new ActiveTrack 360 feature works on the DJI Mini 4 Pro, including both in open conditions and with trees. I also dive into the different FocusTrack settings for the ActiveTrack 360 feature.

    The thanos of drone obstacle avoidance testing. Impressive how you could continue to fly after the tree crashes!
  • @KevLaj
    Very impressive in the tricky tests. 99% of users will never try to do what you have shown us and so the avoidance capabilities in play are likely to be more than sufficient for most flyers.
  • @DamienDavidO
    lol you are legit the only reviewer I wanted to watch for the active track. Really like how you go about explaining how they function and how it’s come along from all the other drones.

    It's absolutely remarkable that DJI has evolved their camera drones that much in only a few short years. When professionals were discussing the DJI mini when it first came out, no one imagined it would become this good. It wasn't even considered possible. The mini 4 pro represents an incredible technological achievement.
  • The best review of Mini 4 Pro so far. I'm still impressed with it's obstacle avoidance performance. Now, I just have to save some bucks to buy.
  • @epicbucketlist
    This must be one of the most impressive tests I've ever seen. Great work, DC Rainmaker. It handled itself well despite the extreme tests you put on the little guy. I am surprised the Mini 3 Pro did better in obstacle avoidance scenarios. However, nothing beats Skydio2! Too bad they left the consumer market. -EBL

    Well done! Pretty impressive tracking. These small drones have come a long way since the DJI Spark 😄
  • @psoon04286
    OMG! This sent shivers up my spine as I can still recall clearly when I tried something similar with my Mini 3 Pro. One required a climb up a tall conifer to retrieve it and the other resulted in 7 of the blades shattered!😖
  • @ottosun12
    Tracking test was awesome. Was very impressed with the Mini 4 performance, as well as durability. Look forward to seeing your wind test.
  • @brudermax7
    From what i've seen watching a lot of reviews, if you activate the low to the ground mode, with your tree gauntlet, it works drop down low (less limbs at base of trees than top) and performance tracking should be a lot smoother
  • @SW-Video
    I'd say this is more than an incremental improvement over the Mini 3 Pro. Excellent for what you used it for here. Yeah, those little leafless branches are the bane of even the best OA. Thin power and phone lines too.
  • @itsthehumor95
    Haven't watched you in a few years but anytime I am looking for a new drone, I stop in to see how you're doing. Thanks for being so consistent and always so thorough.
  • @RonaldBrown59
    Great testing Ray, no one puts them through the torture like you do. And I was pretty impressed with how well it performed, and how durable it was after the crashes. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
  • Excellent demo. Thanks. I have the original DJI mini without active track. I think this has convinced me to upgrade.
  • @UngerTime
    Lots of videos showcasing lutz, music, and other stuff...this is the practicality of the drone I want to see. Excellent video. Thank you.
  • @bobwhitewo3b
    Thanks Ray. Another very nice product review. I always look forward to your DJI drone reviews. Enjoy the nice weather.
  • @thaovi2849
    Man, great upgrades from the previous mini’s. Good job DJI. Thanks for the awesome video.
  • @edittide9842
    Great review Ray. No punches pulled😂 would love a review of the DJI care too! I think finally we have a Skydio beater. I figured the 3 might be good enough but didn’t go for it. I’m now ordering the mini Pro 4. Not even waiting for the famous wind test around the light house 😊 DJI can thank you for this sale👍
  • @gusmontano
    WOW! That Active Tracking is amazing!!
  • @ClearMind777
    Best active track test. Thanks for putting it through the ringer for us.
