Pros & Cons Side by Side

DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone

249g keeps it below the 250g UK/EU registration threshold for most airspace categories
4K/60fps video with 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor — quality that rivals full cameras from the air
Omnidirectional obstacle sensing on all four sides prevents crashes in complex environments
34-minute maximum flight time — longer than any competitor at this weight
Active Track 360° follows subjects automatically with professional-grade tracking

Registration still required for some UK airspace zones despite sub-250g weight
Intelligent Flight Modes require 'Operator ID' even for sub-250g category
Higher price than DJI Mini 2 SE for incremental improvements over that model

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo

1-inch CMOS is 2.4x larger than GoPro Hero 12's 1/1.9-inch sensor — better low light and dynamic range
4K/120fps enables smooth 5x slow-motion from a pocket-size device
3-axis mechanical gimbal stabilisation is fundamentally smoother than electronic stabilisation
Flip touchscreen enables selfie vlogging without mirror or estimation
PDAF subject tracking follows moving subjects automatically across the frame

Premium pricing vs GoPro for different use case — Pocket 3 is a handheld gimbal camera, not an action cam
Not waterproof without the Waterproof Case accessory — GoPro Hero 12 is waterproof inherently
Wide angle adapter needed for the immersive wide shots GoPro shoots natively
