With this feature enabled, the Mini 4K\u2019s camera resolution menu options are much richer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, other companies have made very bold attempts at DJI\u2019s market over the years, most notably the fearless 4K Potensic Atom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that DJI is still the leading brand and has set this goal, the question is, is it enough?

In many ways, it\u2019s even better than the Mini 2, with a new name and a great price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DJI Mini 4K To achieve this, the new drone uses the same controller design as the Mini 2 and Mini 2 SE: the O2 (or Occusync 2.0)-based RC-N1. It\u2019s a sturdy, comfortable controller, especially for players who like to use their thumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The joysticks unscrew and store in a rubber cradle on the bottom of the controller. There\u2019s also a USB-C port on the bottom for charging the controller, but it\u2019s more than enough power for multiple flights (it can even provide 5V\/500mAh power to a phone).
