Filters from Mini 3 Pro don't work on the 4 according to Original Dobo. Props and batteries will. The guy that bought my Mini 3 Pro will be happy. He'll get a complete set of filters for free and soft case that I didn't think of giving him.

I thought it had sold out already when the only option is to "reserve now". Very strange to drop the release and not let you pre-order it right away.

Agreed. They haven't done this before.

It is available for purchase in some locations right now (like the UK).

They kill me with the highlights of the drone flying through the woods, I think that is to push the Refresh as fast as possible. .lol

Anyone know if these will be on store shelves this week?
I’m trying to get one for my vacation but the Canadian delivery date is showing Oct 9 which is too late for me.

I went ahead and ordered from Best Buy around 10am. Same price as DJI, delivery estimate is tomorrow 9/26. I'm pretty excited - I'm upgrading from a Mini so it should be quite a jump for me.

Why 8 est time? I've never been around on release day so is this the way they always do it?

BTW if you order from DJI.com where does it ship from?

For most people it ships from CA. For me it ships from China which I swore I would never do again. I totally forgot that. We'll see what happens.

Normally CA. They're doing free shipping. Mine says delivery on 28th. I'm in NC.

FWIW, I saw a line-of-sight test that showed the signal fading/weak signal notification at 6.3km. As a Part 107 US flyer, I'm not sure how I could keep an unaided line of sight from the control station to this drone that far out (and I have 20/12 vision), but it's nice to get better link margin regardless.

Consider yourself lucky you weren't around when the original Mavic Pro was released. DJI took our money as early as September 2016, but didn't start sending out the drones until after Thanksgiving. Most folks didn't see theirs until well into December 2016. Some unlucky few didn't see their drones until 2017. That was quite the fiasco.

Just sent mine out over totally open air to the acropolis in Greece, it is 3.8km drive from where I’m sitting so probably much shorter directly and I went down to 0 bars of signal when reaching the acropolis. No full disconnect, but these seem like pretty ideal conditions with no obstructions so im not sure where you can get the advertised 20km range.

A pic of my direct view where I launched from attached.

EDIT: added a couple pics from the video I got, pretty please with it less the pathetic range.
