The DJI Mini 4 Pro is DJI's flagship sub-250g drone, combining omnidirectional obstacle sensing, 4K/100fps with 10-bit D-Log M, and DJI O4 transmission range — in a 249g body that sits below Transport Canada's micro RPAS registration threshold. Available on Amazon.ca (ASIN B0CFF1SJ3P) at around $1,089 CAD.
“"The obstacle avoidance gave me confidence I'd never had with drones before. Flew it through a forest without a single collision."”

“"The 4K footage looks incredible. I edited a travel film and people kept asking what camera I used — they were shocked it was a 249g drone."”

“"Night mode takes very good video as long as there's at least a little ambient light. Not magic, but genuinely impressive for a mini drone."”

Source: Dronerater.com hands-onCollected in an earlier pass; not linked to a source thread.The Mini 4 Pro remains the benchmark sub-250g drone — omnidirectional sensing, 4K/100fps with 10-bit D-Log M, and O4 transmission range in a 249g body that skips Transport Canada registration requirements entirely. Real-world flight time runs short of spec, and wind resistance is the honest ceiling. For travel photographers and content creators, nothing at this weight class competes.
