My DJI Mini 4 Pro Flew Off Uncontrollably Despite Full Setup and Crashed

March 11, 2025 3:03 AM32

I’m incredibly disappointed with my DJI Mini 4 Pro. Despite configuring all settings correctly and enabling every available sensor, the drone completely lost control the moment it took off. It shot away at jet speed, without responding to my commands, and crashed about 200 meters away into a wall, breaking the front arm hinge.

This wasn’t my first flight—I’ve flown it multiple times before without any issues. I followed the same procedure this time, so I’m confused and frustrated as to why this happened out of nowhere. It behaved as if none of the sensors or safety features were working, which makes me question the reliability of the device altogether.
