00:00G'day it's Matt here and I have just got the toy that I have been waiting for for such a long time
00:06we picked up the DJI Mini Pro 4 and back in the day when I was looking at this it wasn't even a
00:144 it was around it was like ages ago so not long after the order was placed for this little unit
00:20we're looking at how do we actually get sound on the drone when we're doing recordings like
00:24if we need to capture sound how do we do it and I figured I could probably sync the telephone up
00:29with a microphone and I could record that and then try and line up the time frames and all that
00:35sorts of things and then I did a bit of research and found the microphone so the DJI mic so I figured
00:44pick that up so that all was placed about two hours after the order for the drone I'm going to quickly
00:49go through an unboxing here with you and show you what we got in this little unit and in this one
00:55here and we'll see how this rolls okay so here we are we've got both units and a reliable sharp knife
01:03to get into it very responsible I'm just going to no I'm going to be very careful so let's have a look
01:09at the DJI Mini Pro first this came shipped in a pretty decent sized box and it was uh it was well
01:17and truly packed up and protected which is pretty cool no dings on the corners or anything like that
01:23which is always an encouraging thing to see
01:25wow listen to that sound
01:35anyone who's into ASMR ready
01:39you can loop that one if you want
01:43okay so yeah they've got a nice little tamper proof seal on the top here
01:59just there a little tab so let's tamper with it
02:03go on that one
02:07let's have a look at what we've got on the side
02:11okay so we've got the app qr code there and user manual
02:21a couple of interesting bits and pieces tucked in here quite nicely
02:26strap in the bag all together
02:31look at that nothing left in the box just one clean everything out in one go
02:36want some more
02:42no okay
02:48i'll take this off first
02:54so that looks pretty solid i've got a slightly different approach i'm going to be using
02:59i'll definitely carry this around when i'm just using the drone but because we're doing a lot of
03:03travel i've got a backpack that we bought specifically for being able to travel with this
03:09so little care instructions on the side here in every language under the sun which is good
03:16nothing there that's really consequential so we'll get rid of that
03:21done
03:22that can go into recycling
03:23okay so we have a couple of zips along here one along the back by the look of it pretty well
03:32covered so if it rains that's going to be protected and one along the top here as well
03:39and you can see there the the way this sort of seals up that looks pretty cool too
03:43all right so i'll open this one at the top here and see what we've got first
03:47okay pretty well packaged and a little notification saying there are accessories inside that's handy
03:57let's have a look what have we got
04:02accessories a little pack of propellers that's good gonna need them another pack of propellers
04:09and a little instruction booklet
04:25probably should read this
04:33so just a reminder be able to get the uh the app sorted out i'll deal with that later
04:40accessories guide which is cool it's like the uh charging dock for the batteries
04:47drone information notices so something about the uh camera i'll look at that we'll go over that later
04:54then we've got uh japanese flight safety rules well we go to japan i should probably know about that
05:02uh safety guidelines yep had a look on the uh the castle website and there's a couple of interesting
05:08quizzes too um which are worth following and a quick start guide for those of you who don't want to
05:14take your time with the instructions this is how you get done fast
05:19okay inside our little pouch we have got a usb cord so that'll be helpful for charging i'm guessing
05:26and another one usb cd usb something yay silica gel this is yummy stuff kids if you get it eat it
05:37do not eat the silica more silica gel there you go second a little screwdriver there for uh midgets
05:50little people little people screwdriver don't be racist
05:53and in here in this little plastic pouch we have got the control
06:05i love how they've sent this in a box all ready to be protected from the weather like the box is going
06:10to get submerged but that's pretty cool so geez this stuff honestly you're not going to be able to reuse
06:18this if your plan was to keep this plastic bag and put your controller back in it not likely
06:27you have to be really careful
06:30okay that's pretty and here we have the controller with no sticks attached yet now i've already seen a
06:37couple of videos where people have spoken about these sticks saying that they can fall off really
06:42really easily so be careful when you go to put them on some little turny things there but a little bit
06:50there you go that turns and that turns awesome not sure what that does yet but we'll find out
06:57a couple of buttons on the back here record photograph and this is for when you play donkey con
07:03so that's that's jump that's punch good to know ah there you go there's our little
07:11twiddling stick handle thingies that go on the front so they hide back there quite nicely
07:17a couple of buttons here you've got a look at that c1 c2
07:24don't know what they'll do we'll figure it out that's all right so that's pretty cool and there is also
07:31here the uh the port to be able to plug in the microphone and the sd card the usb as well for
07:38charging i'm guessing um there have been recommendations to get a good quality lanyard
07:44for this as well so if you're going to be walking and using these definitely grab a lanyard that's
07:50sturdy to be able to handle the weight like that that's probably i'm going to guess we've got scars over
07:56there we can borrow for a second well let's see thank you handy assistant luke
08:04okay so the remote controller now this is going to be important because we're packing all this
08:09stuff to go and check luggage as far as flights goes and knowing how much we're going to be dealing with
08:15so we've got about 417 grams there just for the controller our midget screwdriver bumps it up to 420
08:21our two little usb cords up to 450 stay stay our propeller blades including a spare 468 grams so far
08:31so yeah it's pretty fair all right let's have a look what else we got charging dock with two batteries in it
08:41so we went for the um the upgrade to get the fly more side of things sorted out so we've got an
08:50additional couple of uh batteries here so a couple of buttons on the side press them in batteries comes
08:55out of cartridge the thing that i like about this compared to the gopro units when they first got
09:01released was you could only charge the batteries one at a time they didn't have a dock that allowed
09:06to be able to charge things yeah like three or four in one hit so i don't know if they do these
09:11days i haven't bothered looking at gopro again for a long time um that's making the gopro two days so
09:17yeah the weight of this so we're up to 460 grams with all that stuff 250 so that takes us up to 460 250
09:28810 910 grams so nearly a kilo already in fact if i'm going to be carrying the bag
09:37with us as well if that's coming to just the bag alone so i've taken the drone out of it is
09:44326 grams so yes there 326 look at that flash technology is great in it
09:52all right all right we have a drone that is well and truly wrapped up in this thing
10:01249 grams apparently in the packet it shouldn't be much more than 250 300 305 so if this is 249 and
10:09that's 304 305 this bag should weigh 50 grams
10:14i find that hard to believe so the bag weighs five grams so we've got another 45 grams to try
10:23and figure out what's going on here because these can't be heavier than 249 grams apparently to avoid
10:29you know needing licenses and all that sort of stuff great thing is we've got propellers already fitted here
10:36and i'm guessing because this little strap's going to come off you know that's there to protect
10:40everything that will reduce the actual flying weight but the um the thing i've got to keep in mind too
10:46is how much it's going to weigh as a total unit so i haven't read the distractions yet so i'm not going
10:53to pull this apart right now but uh looking at it there's what looks to be a bit of a clippy thing here
11:02that should come off so i'll have a read of the instructions and just make sure that i get that
11:07bite before i break something so quick start guide download and install the app okay plug the drone
11:14in no okay here we go there's a little clippy thing there which is what i saw on the side let's have a
11:19look at that so i gotta lift it up and then pull it away makes sense okay so that came off pretty easily
11:30nice tight fit there which is good and that feels pretty snug that goes all the way around and
11:37this part here on the bottom just put that back on there you've got to really be careful and line
11:42this up look a bit that part on the bottom
11:49just sits there and it protects those propellers so keeps them nice and secure and around the top and
11:55protects those ones as well so like putting that back on is going to be something that just requires
12:01a little bit of patience um that on its own weighs 38 grams so that's all right 38 and five we're on
12:0942 grams so where's the other five grams no seven grams 249 eight grams nine grams whatever you know
12:17the maths figure it out get a calculator okay that little clip comes up off and away
12:23and we're looking at 13 grams there so i reckon once we get all of the little plakey bits off here
12:30and the protective stuff we should be looking at around about 249 grams on that one
12:37oh comes in at 249 even with all of those little bits of plastic on it 250 all right
12:43249 so we uh i'm not going to pull all of this stuff off i'm going to leave that on there for now
12:55the one thing that is really cool about this drone which is why we went for the uh the djr mini 4 is
13:01there's two cameras at the back here and two cameras at the front here which help with
13:05multi-directional tracking so if you're getting too close to something it can calibrate and move itself
13:10out of the way we did see someone filming a um a wedding when we were in darwin and the drone flew
13:18back into a tree it just caught the wind a little bit and straight back into a train came down and uh
13:24there wasn't much left of it after it hit the branch so yeah so i'm not going to pull all of this apart
13:32before i read the instructions um we'll get on to the rest of that a little bit later so i'll put the
13:40cover back on so this is the top these two little eyeball bits here go over the top of that
13:51let's make sure that's not
13:55i might need to oh i've got some sticky oh i got some sticky on it there we go i don't
14:02want to pull that off just yet all right so that
14:11slide around nice and gently i'm going to need to figure that out because i'm going to be trying
14:17to do that in a rush that goes down like that beautiful just line these back up the way they work
14:28look at that fingerprints on it already so i'll come back to that in a little bit of time
14:34okay next we have the microphone now the thing that sold us on this is obviously it compares
14:42straight up with the the drone and it plugs into the device quite nicely and let me just pull that
14:49back there for you so you can see it look at how amazing that is isn't that special so let's get into
14:56this one again no do it gently
15:03so anyone got first aid kit
15:09fire blanket
15:09okay as asmr people are you ready well that was a quick one
15:18okay ladies if that happens um have a chat with your man about what he should do
15:26oh there you go
15:27yeah does that sound a little bit too aggressive
15:37okay
15:40another pretty slick looking outfit
15:43how do i open this
15:44this could be child proof
15:53any five-year-olds around no no look what ah there we go tamper proof again let's tamper with it
16:03and then that goes that way perfect
16:14okay just put that aside for a little bit
16:19so again we've got the extended warranty which yeah definitely jump on that and deal with it and
16:23actually while i'm talking about it with dji uh the time that i bought this they had a um
16:28uh fly away and um crash insurance on it so if the drone does happen to just you know
16:38bugger off somewhere and i can't find it then for i think 200 odd dollars i can get a replacement if
16:44it crashes i think for 90 i can get a replacement so that's a it's worth it in my opinion considering
16:51it only cost 180 odd dollars for uh for that additional protection so we're just having a look
16:56what's going on here's a little flippy boxy bit at the top um doesn't look like it's a packing thing
17:03for decorative purposes or protection there's a little pouch inside here see empty now
17:12and inside the pouch we do have something we have whoa jesus i thought it was spiders
17:18okay more destructions little thing don't throw it away recycle it if you're done with it i think
17:28that's what it says i don't know
17:32yeah more books more paper stuff to read quick start guy there you go fast people
17:40look back to that a little bit later i'm probably going to carry that stuff around for years i did
17:44that with the other microphone okay so it's got a there's two compartments inside this pouch a little
17:50divider which looks pretty cool and uh they'll tighten up nicely so we have one cable
18:02a spider look at it it's hanging on oh sorry another usb cord
18:09now these are for dampening the wind as far as when your recording goes at the uh they've both got
18:17little plug things on the back here that look like they will connect to the microphone somehow so
18:23i'll get these two little fluffy critters over there for the moment
18:28and here we go it's the charging port at the back which you know the usb is obviously going to be
18:34helpful for that don't stick crowns in there or jam sandwiches
18:43if you stick a jam sandwich in there you might actually go for go for peanut butter and jam cram
18:48the sandwich in there because you might be able to hear the sounds of the peanut crunching
18:56ready do it again ah it's never as good a second time around
19:01it's actually a pretty heavy little box
19:06we um let's keep that in mind too when it comes to packing the bag for flying
19:13jesus that weighs more than the drone so we'll chuck a spider on there as well it didn't even weigh
19:19anything okay half a gram each for one of those apparently we've got our cords so the whole microphone
19:27kit's pretty much coming in at around about 300 grams look at that 320 grams including the pouch okay
19:38sit
19:41okay so this has got a really slick sort of feel to it it's got a nice grip sort of casey feel to it
19:49whoa look at that flashing and lighting up already
19:52wow okay so what do we do here there's a little unit that i guess you'd stick on your shirt and okay
20:05there's your little microphone port and i'm gonna guess basically the way that's provision
20:13um stick a spider on there a little bit of a turn maybe
20:20nah i'll read the instructions before i break it but it looks like that goes on there so
20:27looks like a beetles drop out yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and
20:32boom go joe so one of them one of them ready to go it's probably been listening to me the whole time
20:43i've been doing this can't trust technology and then we have oh wow that is a lot
20:53so you can choose your languages on here by the look of this on the setup we'll go through and do that a
20:57little bit later and that's the unit that connects to the drone from what i understand and it looks
21:04like here we have okay little like a hot shoe sort of setup where that little usb port device
21:15should slide straight in here
21:16so it's a pretty small groove
21:26just check and make sure i'm going the right way how's that whippersnapper sound for you
21:34just wait until they get into an argument that's a lot of a bit of entertainment okay yeah so i'm
21:39going the right way but yeah you basically just slide that straight in
21:42and geez it's a pretty tight fit okay that feels like it's all the way and i heard the click
21:51a little bit in the middle goes in there so being usbc that would then go straight in
21:58to the port there and you're off you can record so it's pretty sweet if you're not using that on
22:09the drone and you've got an apple device or something else you could probably plug this
22:14into a smartphone as well and use that to record so there's a different uh connector there for all
22:20you apple people good luck
22:26and that is pretty much it it feels like oh no there's another bit i don't know if i was supposed
22:31to pull that out or not
22:35oh it's got like a little springy arm thing okay i'm not going to open that up all the way that might
22:41be for ah okay if that's supposed to be magnetic to clip onto a lapel or something like that
22:53i don't know if i trust it because that won't hold the weight don't know what that does yet we'll
23:00have to figure it out but this should act as a bit of a clip anyway and that should be fine but
23:08maybe that's just there for good looks who knows
23:12so i'm going to tidy all this up and start playing with it and i'll get back to you later
23:18and let you know just how much fun i'm having enjoy
