Why I Pack Them
The DJI Mini 4 Pro is a game-changer for aerial storytellers. Weighing under 250g, you can carry it in your daypack and still have room for snacks. It’s ultra-portable, easy to fly, and delivers jaw-dropping 4K HDR footage with seriously smooth stabilisation. This is my go-to drone for capturing cities, coastlines, and epic mountain passes without drawing unwanted attention or taking up space. It’s legal to fly in most countries (always check local regs), and it gets those cinematic top-down shots that take your content from casual to captivating.
