The DJI Mini 4 Pro price plummets to a record low following the Mini 5 Pro launch – the older model is simply an excellent buy

It might not be the absolute best mini drone any more, but the recently supplanted DJI Mini 4 Pro is the best drone deal in the UK right now, available for just £718 at Amazon for the Fly More bundle (includes charging hub and two additional batteries), or a staggeringly low £555 at Amazon for the RC-2 bundle – yes, that includes the stunning controller which features a screen.

I can’t say I’m surprised by the price drop – which brings the Mini 4 Pro to a record low – given that the excellent Mini 5 Pro is now on the scene. However, I still completely recommend the Mini 4 Pro, especially since it costs so much less than the latest model. After all, the two mini drones share many of the same specs and you might not need the latest features.

Those record-low Mini 4 Pro prices are for me the best drone deals in the UK right now and are some of the stand out early Black Friday UK deals.

OK, so the Mini 5 Pro is my fave drone and the best DJI drove overall, but there are no deals for the new model, which costs around 25% more than the Mini 4 Pro at these sale prices.

And the two mini drones aren’t all that different – both shoot 4K video with up to 4x slow motion and the option for DJI‘s detail rich D Log M color profile. Both offer ActiveTrack 360 for smart subject tracking and flight times are pretty similar – just a 5% advantage to the new model.

Crucially, the Mini 4 Pro also has the key feature I’d recommend beginner pilots – omnidirectional object sensing. Yes, the Mini 5 Pro has a larger 1-inch sensor and a greater range of roll rotation movement (now 225 degrees), more built-in memory and quicker flight speeds, but the Mini 4 Pro remains a super powerful sub-250g drone. This is a fantastic deal.
