DJI Mini 5 Pro vs 4 Pro - Video Functionalities
Show More Show Less View Video Transcript
0:00
The 1 in SIMOS sensor of the Mini5 Pro
0:03
has a field of view equivalent to 24 mm
0:06
and an aperture of F1.8.
0:10
While the Mini4 Pro is equipped with a
0:12
one over 1.3 in sensor with the same
0:16
field of view and an aperture of f1.7.
0:20
The slightly smaller aperture of the new
0:22
model should not cause any issue in low
0:24
light as the larger sensor compensates
0:27
by collecting more light.
0:30
The camera specs of the Mini5 Pro are
0:32
the same of those of the wide-angle lens
0:34
of the R3S, including HDR recording with
0:38
14 stops of dynamic range thanks to the
0:41
dual native ISO fusion, while the Mini4
0:45
Pro is limited to 12.8 stops.
0:49
This technology works by recording each
0:51
frame at two different ISO value,
0:54
resulting in an underexposed and an
0:56
overexposed image. The two frames are
0:59
then blended to increase the dynamic
1:01
range. The dual native ISO Fusion only
1:04
works when recording footage in auto
1:07
exposure mode. I generally prefer to use
1:09
manual exposure to avoid shifting
1:11
luminosity when the light changes, but
1:14
in high dynamic range situation with the
1:16
Mini 5 Pro, it is worth switching to
1:18
auto exposure to take full advantage of
1:21
the ISO fusion.
1:23
When using auto exposure, try to avoid
1:25
turning the gimbal toward the sky or
1:28
rotating the camera in the direction of
1:29
the sun to maintain a constant
1:31
luminosity within the same clip. The
1:34
maximum video resolution is 4K with
1:36
frame rates of up to 120 frames per
1:39
second for super slow motion.
1:43
An improvement over the 100 frames per
1:46
second of the Mini4 Pro.
1:49
One of the weak point of the Mini4 Pro
1:50
is the internal storage of only 2
1:53
gigabyte. With this model, it is not
1:56
possible to do any serial video shooting
1:58
if we forget to bring a micro SD card or
2:01
if the card get damaged.
2:04
DJI has fixed the issue with the Mini 5
2:06
Pro with a generous internal storage of
2:09
42 GB.
2:13
While both drones are equipped with
2:14
omnidirectional obstacle sensors, the
2:17
Mini5 Pro detection system becomes
2:19
inactive in poor light conditions,
2:22
the 5 Pro is equipped with a
2:24
forwardfacing lighter for so-called
2:27
nightcape omnidirectional obstacle
2:30
sensing. Able to detect obstacles in
2:33
very low light,
2:35
it can be a gamecher for users involved
2:38
in frequent night filming, especially at
2:40
close distances.
2:44
The Mini 5 Pro is the first lightweight
2:46
model with a flexible gimbal rotation a
2:49
feature introduced with the Mavic 4 Pro.
2:52
The gimbal offers continuous 225 degrees
2:56
of raw rotation for dynamic and creative
3:00
camera movement.
3:02
The gimbal rotation can also be applied
3:04
to intelligent flight modes like
3:06
quickshot, hyperlapse, spotlight, and
3:10
waypoint.
3:13
With the Mini Pro, when using at the
3:15
track, it is possible to set a dynamic
3:18
home point. A handy feature when
3:20
tracking while driving or hiking.
3:24
I will not analyze here the improved
3:26
tracking capabilities of the Mini 5 Pro
3:29
as I will do a specific video about it.
3:33
DJI rates the Mini 5 Pro for 36 minutes
3:36
of flight time compared to 34 on the
3:39
Mini4 Pro.
3:43
But in real world use, I'm seeing at
3:45
least five extra minutes of air time
3:48
from the newer model.
3:50
That's a great improvement, particularly
3:52
for shooting upper lapses.
3:57
The announced wind resistance is 12 m/s
4:01
for the new model versus 10.7 for the
4:04
Mini4 Pro.
4:07
The 5 Pro certainly feels more powerful
4:09
and stable in flight, and I have never
4:12
struggled to bring it home, even in
4:14
medium to strong winds. For the first
4:17
time, I can recommend a lightweight
4:19
model, even for users living in areas
4:21
with relatively strong winds.
4:25
The Mini 5 Pro is also faster,
4:27
especially when ascending and
4:28
descending.
4:31
The 4 Pro has excellent signal strength,
4:34
a huge improvement over the Mini3 Pro.
4:37
The Mini 5 Pro with this Okusync 4 plus
4:40
transmission system performs even
4:42
better. I've been able to push it
4:44
farther in the area I use for single
4:46
strength tests.
4:49
I have also noticed that the new model
4:51
connects to a much larger number of
4:53
satellites.
