DJI Mini 4K - New drone with 4K camera [UPDATE]

Rumors have been circulating online for a few days about the arrival of a new drone model - DJI Mini 4K from the largest electronics manufacturer. The speculation turned out to be true - today (April 29, 2024) DJI officially announced the launch of its latest model, DJI Mini 4K. We explain what the parameters of the new drone are and whether it is available in Poland, because for many drone users 4K camera is an absolute must.

Specifications of the drone DJI Mini 4K

DJI Mini 4K offers in fact the same technical parameters as the long-unavailable DJI Mini 2. The refreshed version contains components of newer manufacture, but the parameters remain the same:

• 4K camera: DJI Mini 4K allows you to record videos in 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at 30 frames per second. It is a guarantee of sharp and detailed 12MP images, thanks to the 3-axis gimbal.
• Weight less than 249 grams: The drone's low weight (less than 250 grams) makes it easy to use, as it is not subject to many regulations in most countries.
• Range up to 6 km: Provides freedom of flight and allows you to explore vast areas without losing connection with the drone.
• 31-minute flight time: Capacious battery provides long flight time for longer recording and more ambitious shots.
• Familiar and well-liked features: DJI Mini 4K inherits the best features of its predecessor, DJI Mini 2. You can count on high wind resistance, automatic return to takeoff, and intuitive QuickShots flight modes.
  
  The only difference between the DJI Mini 4K and the older model, DJI Mini 2, is the new DJI RC-N1C controller, which has a slightly smaller battery. The new controller will allow the DJI Mini 4K drone to fly 12 battery packs (6 hours of flight), while the older controller, DJI RCN1, allowed the use of 16 packs.
