    I've been flying the DJI Mini 3 Pro for a while now, and I feel confident enough to be able to make my review now. I'd like to shout out to the companies that supported me on this review, DJI, Freewell, Audiio, PolarPro to name a few, all companies I'm happy supporting back. The bottom line is the DJI Mini 3 Pro is excellent, it's a drone I'm happy taking everywhere and not afraid to use it anywhere!

      The only problem….. Hunter P. Biden might get too excited when he watches these videos.
      (the “P” stands for Pederast)
      Remember…. Crack-Head Hunter Biden is in the market for a new drone to capture his misadventures with drug dealers, crack ho’s,
      cheap Russian & Chinesium Hookers. Tim-Tok wants the vertical video, so he’s probably looking at the Mini-3 Pro.
      After all, that crack-head always leaves electronics and computers behind everywhere!

    • @PhillipSkraba
      @PhillipSkraba  Рік тому

      Thanks Max!! I've been using it for a couple of months, before that I used Epidemic Sound and Artlist. Audiio is pretty great when it comes to music, I'm especially excited about how much music they have for drone shots, I feel I don't have enough drone shots for all their music, also $59 for the first year is crazy, that's basically 2 months with the others, so quite the deal. In terms of music I feel it compares, and have a nice mix between in your face music and classic drone music. I wouldn't plug them if I didn't believe in them, that's for sure.

    Hey Phillip, I'm still debating between ordering the Mini 3 Pro or the Air2S within the next month as my first semi-pro drone. I was hoping that you could do a video which would be incredible helpful for thousands of people, and do an overview video explaining in which countries having a sub-250g drone makes a significant difference as a traveler/tourist.
    I've taken a quick look at the drone laws in some commonly visited countries, but even then it's not so clear - for example, if a 250g+ drone needs to be registered in a certain country, how feasible is it to do on short notice for a brief period? Is it expensive, or difficult for a non-resident to do before arrival? And what about just bringing a drone through a country in transit to a different final destination?
    I have not been able to find a general "drone-weight travel guide" and as you seem to travel a bit, I thought you might be up to the task of compiling a general comparison. Basically, in which popular countries does having a sub-250g drone make a significant difference to a traveler, compared with one over that weight? I hope you can help me and many other travelers out. Cheers!

      Hi Daniel, that sounds like a lot of work lol, and way too much worry. I would go with the Mini 3 Pro. I prefer it to the Air 2S, and being a 249g drone I basically fly it anywhere I go with very little worry, unless it's a big fat red zone, which is really just common sense, don't fly next to an airport, don't fly over Buckingham Palace, don't fly across a motorway, just simple things that'll keep you out of prison. I always check Airmap to see if I can fly comfortably in an area, no matter the country, except Poland, here we use Droneradar. Go for the Mini 3 Pro, you'll be better off.

      @@PhillipSkraba thanks for the input. You could probably sell the video on Patreon for $2-3 at least - there seems to be a high demand for the info. If you pay attention in the social media groups, there's tons of people always asking if they should choose the Air 2S or Mini 3 Pro and it almost always comes down to "how much will the weight make a difference?". But I get it, it's a couple of hours of research at least just to cover the top 20/25 countries, and if you're already making good ad revenue I could understand the lack of motivation to do so.
      I think in the end I'll likely go with the Mini 3 Pro simply to draw less attention to myself, but I feel like I'm leaving a lot on the table not going with the Air 2S.

    It IS better than Mavic 3 in tracking/avoidance in smoothness. But is it better than Mavic 3 in APAS Nifty Mode? I have to know. Guess there's one way to find out. DCRainmaker tested Active Tracking the Nifty Way, but results were inconclusive. When you select "Nifty" in APAS, it says "When controlling aircraft via control sticks (not active track as DC Rainmaker did, but he did ask DJI and they said its more designed for manual piloting with APAS) and Nifty bypassing is enabled, aircraft avoids obstacles with more subtle attitude change and flies more smoothly, but is of increased collision risks. Use with caution" - Lets face it: Mavic 3 is a beast, but a beast in a Lamborghini/McLaren/Koenigsegg way. It's Achilles heel is the inability to fly super slow and steady...

I've seen dozens if videos, trying to see if it was fixed, improved, the same, etc. Step out of the DeLorean into 2022, we have a DJI Wunderkind that, to be fair wobbles like a freaking weeble, and?

    "...the dongle automatically connecting to your phone hotspot... making life easier and you're always on-line..." It is a brilliant idea, isn't it. Do you know WHY they're doing this? Because the new EASA Europe-wide regulation states that unless your drone automatically links to a live internet connection every time you boot it up (so that your drone position AND the position of the controller can be transmitted and monitored in real-time) and downloads the current E.U. certified zone map EVERY time - you won't even be able to spin the motors up.
    Great idea if you like flying in drone parks - not so great if you want to have a flit about anywhere that the local regional government decides it doesn't want drones. These are going to be the EASA "blue zones" that all regional administrative councils (including the U.K) have to submit to the E.U/EASA by the tail-end of this year. Your local councils will decide where you can fly and where you can't - and there won't be a damn think you can do about it.
    Direct quote from "Tools not Toys - Drones for Professionals"
    "...New drones sold in Europe after this date will have to be manufactured with EASA compliant GZM geofencing as standard (with a few exceptions… military and police surveillance). The manufacturer must also ensure that the Euro-compliant drone always has the most current digital drone map in its memory. The idea is that the map is automatically refreshed as soon as there is an active internet connection while the drone owner is unaware of the fact that the drone firmware is being flashed with neither their knowledge nor their permission. To ensure that all drones have the same information: an E.U standard had to be set for the digital drone map. The published reasoning behind this standardization was so that all makes of drones are able to process geo zones such as airports and other no-fly zones in an unmistakable way. The over-arching aim of the EASA is that all drone apps display the standardized no-fly zones in the same manner and in such a way that even people without extensive aviation knowledge understand what they are looking at. For this reason, the EASA has developed a standard for the uniform processing of ‘geographical zones’. A working group, referred to by the cryptic title: EUROCAE ED-269, considered the selection of a format to process this form of geodata.
    After January 1st 2023, member states must provide all no-fly zones and zones with other flight restrictions (such as low-flying areas) in this format. Subsequently, all drones with C1, C2, or C3 labels will be able to read the digital drone map, regardless of the brand or model. Flight apps (such as the DJI GO4 or FLY app) that currently show drone pilots where they can and cannot fly will also have to switch to the new E.U/EASA standard. That means that all apps will contain the same information, displayed in the same way. This pan- European drone map will determine fly and no-fly zones as follows. Red areas for ‘hard’ no-fly zones: Yellow areas for restricted areas (e.g. low-level flight areas): Green areas for less restricted areas (such as model airfields or test areas). Lastly: there will be blue-outlined areas that will mark the presence of U-space regions. Local, regional and “National” Governments Europe-wide (and in Britain) will be the authorities responsible for designating the regional geo zones in their own geographical areas. It is not beyond possibility that some Local Authorities will mark excessively large areas as no-fly zones for privately owned drones. It is more likely that under the slippery catch-all guise of concerns for “security”, “privacy” and “data protection”, entire villages and towns will be designated as no-fly zones.
    In addition, E.U Member States must ensure that certain zones (including future U-space areas) are also communicated to manned aviation via NOTAMs. U-space will provide those large blue-outlined areas on the European drone map within the next few years. In those areas, if you own and operate a camera drone, you will have to pre-register every flight and ensure that you are in communication with a U-space Service Provider (USSP) during the flight so that the location and direction of flight of your drone can be communicated to other airspace users (not dissimilar to the present restrictions and requirements that apply to flying in current DJI RED or BLUE no-fly zones) but these U-space zones will cover entire cities or large tracts of land deemed to be select urban areas, conservation zones, areas of outstanding natural beauty or areas of a more sinister “sensitive nature”. It is also not unreasonable to assume that the designated “U-Space Service Provider” (the company that gets this peach contract) will charge you for their “services” on a flight-by-flight basis..."
