DJI Mini 4 Pro and all other editions - Rumours, leaks, gossip and general discussion

Will have a look when i get home, that thing called works getting in the way now :rofl:
Thanks again all :+1:

I know exactly what you mean, Mick. First time I flew the Mini 4 I thought I had it in sport mode - could barely control the thing.

I’ve done all the gain and expo tuning and it is better, but it’s still nowhere near as smooth as my other drones have been on similar settings.

I figured it must be down to the RC2 (I’d seen a few reviewers refer to it as quite a sensitive controller) and set about getting used to it… but it’s not been easy. It’s left me wondering how people who just got a Mini 4 for Christmas as their first drone have coped.


Edit to add that yes, for the ā€˜sensitive controller’ part, I have also played about with the stick sensitivity settings to try and reduce that :+1:

Have you guys tried the break setting for the obstacle avoidance? or like me, always go straight for the bypass option?

If the latter that will make it more jumpy, break seems to be a lot smoother. also, Bypass with niffty mode enabled gives more of a middle ground :+1:t2:

Will give it a go tomorrow… but this is just the way it handles in clear open spaces with nothing to avoid so hopefully it’s not that because I quite like the idea of the bypass option :slight_smile:

yeah, even in open space its jumpy while its set to bypass. Set it to break and it’s a noticeable difference. I find Niffty mode is ok and you can tweak the smoothness settings to make it work if you want bypass mode.

Be worth testing though to see if it solves your issue :+1:t2:

Sorry, yes… confusing bypass and nifty. Already have it in nifty. Will have a play :slight_smile:

I spoke too soon. DJI has just billed me Ā£350 because the broken drone hasn’t arrived. Sent by UPS on the 23rd this is the tracking journey for it’s tour of the UK so far… Needless to say, they had all the customs paperwork they needed with the package and didn’t ever try to contact me when it says ā€˜We are working to obtain this information’ - I only became aware of the issue when DJI first threatened to take the money.

When I contacted them, the only way for me to get the paperwork was to re-download the shipping label, which wasn’t possible because the item had shipped… Luckily, I found a copy in the recycing that I’d accidentally printed double-sided back in December and re-printed. They confirmed in writing that they had everything they needed at 11 on Wednesday and the package still hasn’t gone anywhere.

How can anybody be so useless? And why do all the people who are that useless work for courier companies?

Just tested Atti, sadly, it didn’t work … it just switched to Cine :cry:

The above hack has worked on every DJI drone I have had, including the Air 3 (despite it being limited to 68 mph).

I really hope DJI haven’t locked this down as well.

Going to make a change and try again after a full charge.

Apparently the latest DJI drones went switched back on reset the parameters back

I have reread your sentence 3 times, it makes no sense.

What do you mean?

On the older drones you can change parameters, but on the new drones, a lot of the parameters will reset back to stock upon boot up by DJI design.

OK, cool, I will rewrite the params, and with the drone still on, unplug the USB-C and switch on my RC2 and see if that bypasses this DJI sillyness.

Confirmed.

Mode 0 has reverted from a value of 3 (Atti) to 12 (Cine)

Doesn’t Sincoders hack have Atti mode :thinking:

I will do after a full charge. I really hope it isn’t limited, although that will prove my theory with the Air 3.

Definite looking healthier now :slightly_smiling_face:
