DJI Mavic 4 Pro vs. DJI Mini 5 Pro

[marwan_zakaria]

I am super interested in the Mavic 4 Pro and planning to purchase one by the end of the year. Now we have the specs for the Mini 5 Pro. I am hesitant about the M4P now. Can someone help me with the pros and cons? The price difference is very significant, so I want to evaluate my options very carefully.

My guess if you are making such a comparison between two drones that are distinctly different then it's gotta be the M5P primarily on price and probably because there isn't a lot of value to the extra features offered by the M4P.

It'll mainly come down to the LIDAR that the M5P will have, which means it can do OA at night, and the camera sensor, which is full frame 1 inch, and therefore substantially better in low light. I bet it'll have onboard memory too, so that'll be a consideration. And it should have the next gen of Occusync as well, so can fly a lot further, and probably for longer.

It will be no easier to fly though, it'll force you to use one of the newer video compression formats, and it'll probably broadcast remote ID out of the gate, whether required or not ! And almost certainly won't be available to US.
