As a Mini 2 owner I'm excited that DJI made a proper Mini 3 for the lower price. However I don't have the money for a new drone anytime soon, so I'll still be rocking my Mini 2 and looking forward to a future Mini, or maybe the Mavic 3 Classic. I think obstacle avoidance would be nice on my next drone.
Yes, it's a great upgrade, but sure, a lot of people are interested in the sensors, which is funny, as they're the first things I turn off when I fly lol. The Mavic 3 Classic is a completely different beast, coming from the Mini 2 it's a monster!
Cost difference is fairly miniscule for just not having sensors. Love my mini 3 pro but honestly if just saving a little bit compared to the pro I don't think it's worth it. Those sensors have saved me enough times to think it's worth the extra IMO.
I think coming in at entry level it's pretty well priced, and no doubt the difference for Sunday fliers will make a difference, it's not the sensors that would bother me as a more advanced user, but the lack of d-log. Mind you, it graded very nicely, and I did push it quite far a couple of times in post.
@@PhillipSkraba I don't really use sensors much either, but D-Cinelike not being included would also be a deal breaker as color grading is a must sometimes. Haven't seen a full review so now I'm really wondering what else was "left out" :|
Well, I graded all of these and pushed them quite a bit, they held up nicely. D-log though is something I use all the time... but the normal profile really does a good job with the hdr in the shadows and highlights, I'm presently surprised.
@@PhillipSkraba 100% agree, I mostly only use D-Cinelike for morning/dusk shots (favoraite time to shoot) when I need to pull out excessive details from the shadows. Most 10am to 4pm shots are just fine using the normal color profile (with a good ND and/or PL filter) Really enjoy your content and have learned tons over the years watching :)
I just bought a mini 3 just as a mini option for my flying. It’s really nice to fly. I love my m3 classic (my beast) but I felt like I wanted a mini drone again (sold my mini 2) so, I’m excited to use the vertical mode
Yes, vertical mode is great on these! I think that's where the Mini really wins over something like the Mavic or Air, the vertical mode which nowadays comes in really handy.
@@PhillipSkraba yes, exactly. I try and throw my classic on 5.1 k and crop, but still it doesn’t do it justice. I’ve been flying the mini 3 for a couple days and it’s so easy to make reels. It’s a nice drone to carry around and pop it up wherever.
Hey Philip, I'm still getting high with my original Mini. I still haven't used it enough to get good footage to add to a video, though I have considered the Mini 3pro for the tracking which might inspire me to try adding more of a personal touch to my videos. I always like your videos when you are out showing us how you use your drone. I think I will wait for the Mini 3 pro or what might come next. Greg
Just got mine last night and this was a huge help as I thought I bought the Mini Pro but I just got the 3. Oh well… I suppose you say the sensors aren’t so necessary anyway huh? Great vid bloke, thanks for sharing
The mini 3 does not over heat like the mini pro 3 and 4 during firmware up dates and flight which would cause the drone to land and has longer flight time and i seen a 3 mile range test same camera cheaper price go with mini 3 yes they have sensors but they do not work in night flights and seening wires as such
I use mini 2. I would like to buy myself a mini 3 pro because it has object tracking sensors. I like that it weighs 249 grams, you can fly on it without additional documents to many European countries. I've crashed my drone into a wall a couple of times and it's amazing that it continues to work. The Mini 3 is a good start for beginners, especially for the price. But my choice is Mini 3 pro
Just ordered the Mini 3 - it's my first drone so couldn't justify the Pro. I've sacrificed the fancy controller and gone with the Fly More bundle. Nice video confirmed what I needed to know before ordering :)
I am about to buy the dji mini 3 in a few months so it is worth buying right? I have saw many reweies on social media and i think its honestly a really good choice for your first drone it is going to be my first drone too so if anyone wants to buy there first drone i highly recommend the dji mini 3
Not only does it not have obstacle avoidance, it doesn’t have active track either. Suppose this is great for a beginner drone, but if you’re upgrading from the mini 2, I would think the logical choice would be the mini 3 pro.
Well, it really depends on your needs. I turn avoidance off as it gets in the way of some of my flying, but I do miss d-log, so for me the Pro is great, but for a beginner the Mini 3 would be superb.
Glad to see they added the front legs. That was a dealer killer on the 2.
The front legs do a good job, I have no idea how they managed to make it bigger and still keep it sub 250g, damn magicians!

Just purchased my first drone ever I’m excited to try it out!!! Your video is great thank you
Hope you enjoy it! It’s a great one 🔥
You are the king of Air.
King of the Skies, haha damn right 🚀
Can the battery Mini 3 be used for Mini 3 Pro as well?
Yes it can!
@@PhillipSkraba thank you
I just got the Mini 2, and have been getting some awesome shots with it. Now I want this!
This is excellent, an awesome upgrade to the Mini 2!

woohhoo-you created gorgeous shots.have a good day-
Thank You!
I have the Mini 3 with the RC remote and would like to purchase the flymore kit. Is the mini 3 Pro kit compatible? TIA
Jus literally picked up a used one.. Is the camera on these slighty to left in body?

Thinking of getting dji avata
It looks like a fun one!

Le prix svp
I think after a year this drone is still a great choice
It’s a fantastic choice!!

Thank You! Oh I think you'll love it, it's a great little drone, I've had a ton of fun with it so far.
@@PhillipSkraba I think so too. Already looking at ND filters 🤣 Any recommendations?
Sure! I use the Freewell filters on all my drones, PolarPro too, but for the Mini 3 series, Freewell all the way.
Imagine the meeting where they bandied about names for it! Mini 3 Classic. Err, uh... Non-Pro! How about the Mini 3 Amateur! Hmmm.
Lol, they went wild on the name this time.
Thanks for the video, I'm thinking about mini 3 or mini 3 RC 🤔
It's a good one! I'd probably spend a touch more and go with the Mini 3 Pro.
Cool thanks@@PhillipSkraba

I personally would go for the DJI Mini 3 Pro, the Mini 3 is great, but the Pro is worth the extra coconuts.

Sir price
You can call me Phillip, and I'm guessing it's probably around $400, right?
🫵nice unboxing 🫵💪💪👌 😉 👍 🤙✈️✈️ great bit of kit
Thanks!!
@@PhillipSkraba
Yeah man quality 👌 👌I like your presentation on the whole film 🎥 🫵
Thank You!
Saturday I buydone.
Great!
Experienced drone pilot doesn't need sensors 💯
Sensors do need turning off in a lot of more advanced flights, that’s true.
Bro has the hourglass build
Me!? 😂
@ ye
Hello 🤗
Hello 😊
You’re as rough
You sound like my last drone.
