Hi, Nev, they are certainly a good drone to go for. We have the mini 3 Pro and they are great. The 4 is the next one up and we have seen a few people flying them and spoken to a lot of people. It is a good choice to go for.

Hello Nev, welcome aboard.
I have a mini 4 pro and while i was debating on what to buy, I spoke to a pro drone pilot who was conduction an aerial survey at work.
I said I am thinking on getting a mini 4 pro.
He said dont,
why I replied?
He said don’t think about it, just buy it.
I have not looked back since.

I second that. If your budget stretches to the mini 4 pro then go for it, you won’t regret it.
From the reviews I’ve seen it’s an upgrade from the Mini 3 Pro and it keeps it’s 250g credentials. I have been pondering on waiting for the next one in the mini Pro series and skipping the Mini 4 Pro purely on financial reasons so can save money for the next release. From what I have seen from people that own them is probably a good starter/enthusiast drone with better obstacle avoidance and camera.
Best of luck, I started with a Potensic and then after getting some flying hours(and a few crashes) under my belt have a Mini 3 pro.
Yes I’m another Nev.
BTW I was a Junior Leader Royal Engineers at Old Park Barracks, Dover in 1970 that has since been demolished.

Hi Nev
Just adding my bit for the Mini 4 Pro.
I spent a few months pondering but it’s been a great investment.
Only advice I’d add is go for the Care Refresh!
Incidentally the only comment I’ve ever had from bystanders is about how quiet it is - not something that I’d factored into my decision process……
Sorry Nev, just noticed my typo… spent too long living in Glasgow. 
Good excuse to post this though

Hi Nev - welcome to the Club. I’ve had my Mini 4 pro for a little while and am really impressed with it (new to drones and flying). Good quality pictures and video for me as a beginer. Flying is quite a learning curve but good fun and have had plenty of advice and support from other members of the club.
