Arguably now the better buy over the new Mini 5 Pro

Yes it has recently been supplanted by the Mini 5 Pro as DJI's flagship mini drone, but the DJI Mini 4 Pro is the best drone deal in the UK right now, with three bundles all available for record-low prices.

Let's start with the base package with RC-N2 controller for just £519 at Amazon (was £689). Or how about upgrading to the bundle with the stunning RC-2 controller which features a screen? Yours for £555 at Amazon (was £869). Finally, the ultimate package is the Fly More Combo for just £699 at Amazon (was £979) – this bundle includes the premium RC-2 controller plus a charging hub and two additional batteries.

I can't say I'm surprised by the price drop given that the excellent Mini 5 Pro is now on the scene. However, I still completely recommend the Mini 4 Pro, especially since it now costs so much less than the latest model – the Mini 5 Pro currently starts at £687 at Amazon. After all, the two mini drones share many of the same specs and you might not need the latest features.

These aren't the first price reductions for the Mini 4 Pro, but they are the biggest – the previously low for the Fly More Combo was £759, while over the recent Prime Day Big Deals event in October, the price was £779. However, the reduction for the RC-2 bundle is even lower, now available for £555 whereas the previous record low was £689. You'll just miss out on the charging hub and two additional batteries with this option versus the Fly More Combo – but if you're a casual pilot then that might not matter.

Should you buy the Mini 4 Pro over the Mini 5 Pro?

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.
