DJI Mini 4 Pro
Sub-250g drone with 4K/60fps video, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and 34-minute flight time
The DJI Mini 4 Pro is a compact travel drone that delivers 4K/60fps video, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and a 34-minute flight time in a 249g package. Its sub-250g weight means recreational users do not need to register it with CASA — however, business or commercial use requires CASA registration regardless of the drone's weight. All operators must comply with CASA's standard operating conditions.
Our Verdict
DJI's Mini 4 Pro packs a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with an f/1.7 aperture into a 249g airframe. The omnidirectional obstacle sensing system provides collision avoidance in complex environments. ActiveTrack 360° subject tracking and a vertical shooting mode add versatility for content creators. Important: under CASA regulations, recreational operators of drones under 250g do not need to register the drone or obtain an operator accreditation, provided they follow standard operating conditions. However, if you use the drone for any business or commercial purpose — including content creation for a business, real estate photography, or any paid work — you must register the drone and obtain a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) regardless of its weight. Always check the current CASA regulations at casa.gov.au before flying.
