DJI's latest mini drone weighs less than 249g but it punches above its weight in the image-quality stakes. Angela Nicholson has been at the control sticks

The DJI Mini 4 Pro is the newest addition to DJI’s line-up of drones weighing less than250g. This weight is crucial as it means you only  need to get an Operator ID from the CAA to fly the Mini 4 Pro in the UK. Once that’s sorted, provided that you have the landowner’s permissions to take-off and land, you are okay to fly it almost anywhere except for designated flight restriction zones such as airports, military zones, and prisons.

Predictably, ensuring the Mini 4 Pro stays under the 249g mark inclusive of its battery, propellers, and a microSD card, gives it a rather fragile feel. But like its predecessor, the Mini 3 Pro, you still get a 1/1.3-inch type sensor in the camera. Again like the Mini 3 Pro, the standard Intelligent Flight Battery allows up to 34 minutes of flying.

A beefier Intelligent Flight Battery Plus boosts that to 45 minutes but pushes the weight above 250g, so it’s not sold in the UK.
