Mini 4 Pro
DJI Mini 4 Pro specifications and what a UK operator needs to fly it commercially under a PDRA01 operational authorisation.
Published manufacturer specs · UK context
01
Does the Mini 4 Pro fit PDRA01?
The DJI Mini 4 Pro has a published maximum take-off mass of 0.249 kg, which is within the 25 kg limit PDRA01 works to. Mass is necessary but not sufficient: whether a given job fits PDRA01 depends on how you fly it — visual line of sight, height, and distance from uninvolved people.
It also sits in the sub-250-gram category, so lighter Open-category rules may cover some flights without an operational authorisation at all. The free route checker shows which route applies to your operation.

Flying the Mini 4 Pro commercially
Flying commercially under PDRA01 is less about the aircraft and more about the paperwork and permissions around it. In outline you need:
- CAA Operator ID. Registered to the operator and displayed on the aircraft.
- Flyer ID + competence certificate. A Flyer ID for the pilot, plus an RPC-L1 or GVC for PDRA01.
- Insurance. Third-party cover appropriate to the operation.
- Operations manual & records. A CAP2606-shaped manual plus logs, risk assessment and checklists.
The how to get PDRA01 guide walks through the full sequence.
Practical answers
Frequently asked questions
Can the DJI Mini 4 Pro be used under PDRA01?
Its published maximum take-off mass (0.249 kg) is within the 25 kg limit PDRA01 works to. Mass is only one factor — whether a specific operation fits PDRA01 depends on how and where you fly, which the free route checker assesses.
What do I need to fly the Mini 4 Pro commercially in the UK?
For a PDRA01 operation you need a CAA Operator ID displayed on the aircraft, a Flyer ID and a remote pilot certificate (RPC-L1 or GVC) for the pilot, suitable insurance, and an operations manual with supporting records.
Are these Mini 4 Pro specifications exact?
They are published manufacturer figures and a starting point. Confirm them against your own airframe, firmware and battery before relying on them — variants and firmware caps differ.
