I missed the nacho cheese dispenser on all of the other review sites...truly you are a stickler for details, sir! Humor is greatly appreciated, and I truly enjoyed the rest of the video as I evaluate these two drones.
Thank you for this comprehensive comparison on the features. The price difference sure is well-justified. What a massive upgrade from the Mini 2 to the Mini 3.
Great video. This is the type of content that I look for when companies release products that are so similar to another product, or have very similar names. I clicked the like button. ^_^
I am still using the DJI Spark (Yes, I know it is very old) and am looking for an upgrade and this review was the best for the difference comparison. For me I think the Mini 3 with the screen controller would be enough for the $200 price difference. I like that DJI is making the Controller future proof as it allows for less things to be orphaned when upgrading.
as always, great review, succinct, chockfull of info, I always end up feeling I have finally listened to the guy who really knows what he is talking about. With the Mini 3 now $90 off, thinking of getting one of those, already have the Mini 3 Pro, don't use most of the fancier stuff on it...Thanks for sharing...
At 5:38, H.265 and H.264 matters quite a much. H.264 is a really *bad* compression algorithm if the camera moves, meaning there is a lot of difference between the current frame and the next, like rolling action wearing the cam chest mounted when riding MTB or mounted on a car, H264 has always lots of artefacts, low compression rate, huge files, almost like uncompressed, honestly, you better use ProRes RAW (if available). No such problems with H.265 algorithm. If the camera is mounted stationary, like filming an interview or so, there’s not such a difference between H.264 and H.265 (aka HEVC).
Umm, ProRes RAW for a 4K video stream would be 12x the size of H.264 (nevermind the fact that none of DJI's gear can record in ProRes RAW). As for H265, the main benefit is size (about half the size of H.264).
@@Dcrainmaker that with the ProRes Raw was a joke. H.264 used during a bike ride are significantly larger as like filming e.g. interviews. The compression algorithm of H.264 looks basically what’s the difference between current and prior frame. The more different pixel the worse the compression and artefacts.
As usual - great video! What was a big point for me in watching this was the Pros ability to keep focus on the subject while you fly (Spotlight). That alone would make me get it. I often struggle to keep focus on the subject, while at the same time making an interesting move. This would help me a great deal!
The significance of h265 is not additional computational overhead in post, its that for a given finite data rate it will give better image quality than h264
Most detailed comparison review by far! Really appreciate man! New sub!! Btw, will the remote on mini 3 nonpro work on the pro one, and are the accessories interchangeable?
Perfect video answered all my questions. But also created a new question. Since I no longer want the 3 base model. Do you feel like selling me a used Mini 3 Pro?
damn it i was going to buy a mini 3 but now im unsure if my laptop will run the 264 or 265 format things. the laptop is a HP one still going strong bought in 2015. dont fancy shelling out a grand on top of that for a drone too. gutted!
Good video! I stopped buying DJI until Inspire 1 and Phantom 3 Pro. I want to buy a mini for my trips because of its weight and transfer, Two questions. In the old DJI I use my iPhone mobile and when I go to very hot and sunny places, after several flights the screen of my Mobile iPhone gets dark and I have to stop flying and RTH because what I am not seen on the screen recording, everything goes dark... Will the same thing happen with the DJI RC screen remote control? The second question, will there be a way in the future to fly them with FPV goggles as in the case of the Phantom 3 Pro, I changed the rear HDMI input module and the Insipire1 already has it?... THXS
I don’t think Ai could narrate this any better apart from the audio glitching. I’m getting this too with and when using the Zoom wireless ME, levels set okay and wondered if you were using a DJI wireless mic set up with your Lavalier. Thanks 🙏
Absolutely it is. I bet it won't be too long and Litchi app will close in on a few more of the feature differences between the regular 3 and 3 pro. Im debating upgrading to the mini 3 base or a Air 2 fly more combo used would be same expense as the base mini 3. Tough decision, i might just stick with the mini 2 and buy a 1911 a1 45 lol.
Does low reso stream controller view affect the actual resolution of video/photo taken from the drone? or the video taken stays at 1080 - 4k reso, regardless of the resolution streamed in your controller view? Thanks for answering! :)
Would have loved more comparison videos.. mini 3 vs mini 3 pro videos. Lots of videos on the mini 3 pro but not the normal mini 3. Good video tho, thanks
I’m trying to purchase my drone this week, great video. I travel alot which drone do You think would be better? I’m getting the controller with the screen in it and it. It’s only a $60 difference between the two but which one would you get
I have a question, what if youre using rc1 version of controller(the non screen version) but youre also using 4k phone, will the resolution will get better if youre also using mini 3 pro?
I suspect eventually. Though, I struggle to see how they'll differentiate it between the Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Classic, at least with the current features.
Am getting the mini 3 combo plus with the RC for 756 USD after 125 USD discount so now should I go with the mini 3 or the pro? Spending 370 USD more really worth for the mini 3 pro?
There's been some rumors for the Mini 3 Pro & Mavic 3 about it perhaps coming (prior to release of the base Mini 3 itself). At present though, nothing compatible there for any of them (including Base).
Is the low resolution image we are getting from the controller the final image that the drone produces? or it's just a screen recording? if yes, how do we get it? does it record it automatically or we have to specify? and how do we get the proper recording in full 4k resolution?
@@charliebrownn6622 He showed 3 controllers, what are their names and are the two drones compatible with them all? one minute he said he wishes the RC Pro was compatible with the Base next minute he said, all 3 controllers are compatible with both drones so, which one is it?
1. Please make a video about the difference between dji mini 2 and new dji mini 3. I am using dji Mini 2 and wondering whether to upgrade to mini 3 or not. 2. If you test the wind resistance of the new DJI mini 3, please test both the regular battery and the Plus battery version as I think the heavier Plus battery will be more stable in the wind, however no UA-cam channel has tested this yet. 3. Anyway, I'm still looking forward to DJI air 3 😅😅
Hello. 1) In many ways, my original Mini 3 review video from a few days ago is basically just a 'Mini 2 vs Mini 3' video in disguise. ;) I just titled it differently. 2) Yup, I tested both batteries actually already in the 50KPH winds. Zero difference. As with the Mini 3 Pro when I tested wind on both batteries too, zero difference either. These drones are heavily overpowered engine-wise, so the extra 30g of weight didn't make any difference one way or another. 3) Cheers!
@DC Rainmaker The fact you responded and answered every question by this dude made me sub. A creator who takes time out of ther day to respond is ok in my book
Great comparison, thanks... Here my question: any difference in low-light for pic/video? TY If asked already sorry, couldn't fine in the 233 comments :-D
Happend twice so far to be questioned by jandarms. They are not aware about legal requirements but they "know" something is not legal about drones. I had to google and show them they are wrong.
No class markings. Though, the class markings was again delayed earlier this year, to Jan 2024 now. I suspect we'll see DJI do what they did for the Mavic 3, and offer retrofit labels.
We need to get Ray over a million subscribers... this is ridiculous. By far one of the most detailed and useful reviewers out there!
Thanks Derrick - one day, much appreciated!
Agreed
surely 100% agreed on this bro.

Hey! I am missing the Nacho Cheese Dispenser option...where do I locate it? 😆
Nicely sneaked in...
Very good video! Thank you!
Truely professional and comprehensive reviews, as always. Thanks.
THanks!!!
Great video. This is the type of content that I look for when companies release products that are so similar to another product, or have very similar names. I clicked the like button. ^_^
Thanks! Indeed, kinda wish that it had been named something like the DJI Mini 3 SE or such, just to make it a bit clearer.
Thanks for the informative breakdown
51 min run-time on the base model with the plus battery is ridiculous
The only channel where I slow down the playback speed
Great comparison video!! Exactly what I was looking for in order to help make a decision! Well done to you! 👏👏👏
Oh and "nacho cheese dispenser" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Roboticdoughbull3k True, but I use the DJI Refresh program and that only applies if using the DJI Fly app
@@Roboticdoughbull3k what is Litchi? aslo, does this mean that I can use spotlight mode on a mini 3?
awesome video! very informative😅TBH on the entire video I was worried that your hand might accidently hit your drink there🤣🤣

Best review so far
Thanks Kenny!
WOW, what a great and detailed review. thank you
The nacho cheese dispenser is impossible to live without
I can't seem to find the opening to replace the cheese for my Nacho Cheese Dispenser. Can you do a video on that please?
glad to see you enjoyed your coffee
Awesome review! Thanks for the info!
Most detailed comparison review by far! Really appreciate man! New sub!!

Perfect explanation thanks. Glad the UA-cam algorithm pointed to you … new subscriber! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!!! Welcome!
I'm just here about those nacho cheese dispensers. Underrated value IMO.
You got to love these nacho cheese dispensers! 🤣
0:23 🧀🧀🧀
It’s all about dat cheese!
Great and very detailed video
Great comparison Sir; very concise and to the point !!!; many thanks for sharing.............
Nacho cheese and livestream to UA-cam sold me 😂
That’s the spirit!
amazing job, love your channel, appreciate your efforts in all your video’s, keep it up 👍🏻
just got this video when i was looking something up and got an update for my mini 3 base that adds the 48mp mode
Best review chanal ever ..
Cheers ... !!!
Good comparison bro. Now i have made up my mind to buy the 3 pro
I think I have to contact DJI. Mine didn’t come with nacho cheese dispenser 😔
Definitely call support. Both my models came with them, albeit the Pro one was clearly a spicier cheese.
Perfect video answered all my questions. But also created a new question. Since I no longer want the 3 base model. Do you feel like selling me a used Mini 3 Pro?
I love they both have Nacho Cheese dispensers. LOL
Let’s talk 🚀🚀
I have a surprise for you..
Another great video....
Might the transmission antennas be located in the new arms on the Mini 3 base?
Thanks! Plausible. I've gotta get a flashlight out and check it out. Left the units at the office for the night though.
yea because the dji mini 3 pro doesn't have such a good range, at least with the pro controller.
Thanks. Nice comparison. Do you know if I can still purchase the DJI care package if I buy from another authorized retailer.
Love those nacho cheese dispensers 0:36
Please do a video on the difference in the controllers!
Great video again 🤘
Thanks! From the Netherlands 😉
damn it i was going to buy a mini 3 but now im unsure if my laptop will run the 264 or 265 format things. the laptop is a HP one still going strong bought in 2015. dont fancy shelling out a grand on top of that for a drone too. gutted!
This was very helpful. Thanks so much!
Great review !! Thanks a lot !!
I'd never film / take photos at Iso 3200 OR 6400,
but I wonder if that difference shows up at reasonable settings
(let's say up too ISO 1000) ?
Now I am not sure if I can trust what you are saying, mentioning that nacho cheese dispenser was a chuckle 🤣 good video though.
It's almost like you're doubting the nacho cheese dispensor. Blasphamy.

thanks for the video, you can upload the video sources from both drones in 4k-30fps mode
I’m trying to purchase my drone this week, great video. I travel alot which drone do
You think would be better? I’m getting the controller with the screen in it and it. It’s only a $60 difference between the two but which one would you get
'Both have reached the end of this list' lmao
Let’s talk 🚀🚀
I have a surprise for you..
Excellent and thanks !
Thanks!
very informative video bro..............
thank you for the enlightenment, very detailed my friend ,,,, thank you, greetings are always healthy and successful my friend 🙏
I have a question, what if youre using rc1 version of controller(the non screen version) but youre also using 4k phone, will the resolution will get better if youre also using mini 3 pro?
Do you happen to know if the hyperlapse waypoints can be set to continue even if signal is loss?
Love this new version mini 3, however what do you think are the chances of an Air 3 coming out?
I suspect eventually. Though, I struggle to see how they'll differentiate it between the Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Classic, at least with the current features.
Are accessories of mini 3 pro compatible with the mini 3?
Nacho cheese dispensers .. lol 😂 your hilarious..❤😂
If you could choose, which would be a better purchase option?
Is this in the Netherlands? Thanks for this video - greeting from 🇩🇪
Yup! It where I live. cheers!
Thanks for the info. 👍
What do you mean you have a license for the battery weight class? I can’t use the drone or plus battery if I’m visiting Europe?
Am getting the mini 3 combo plus with the RC for 756 USD after 125 USD discount so now should I go with the mini 3 or the pro? Spending 370 USD more really worth for the mini 3 pro?
Filters for the mini 3 pro do not fit the mini 3! This was not mentioned in the video. Don't know if it fits the other way around..
Nacho cheese dispensers? What are these for 😂
Are they both compatible with the new DJI goggles?
Great video mate! Thank you from downunder 🇦🇺😍
There's been some rumors for the Mini 3 Pro & Mavic 3 about it perhaps coming (prior to release of the base Mini 3 itself). At present though, nothing compatible there for any of them (including Base).
"Both have nacho cheese dispensers"! 😂
I can’t wait to deliver nacho cheese to party goers with one of these.
hey is the same propeller?? if not what is the difference
Well done!!
Keep doing what ur doing… ❤
Good to know both have nacho cheese dispensers. Am I the only one to notice that ?😂
Please state the price whether in USD or other

Just a screen recording. The full 4K image is on the drone SD card.
@@Dcrainmaker And with the pricing, you forgot to mention if those were Flymore combo pricing or basic kit?
@@Sir-Kay i think its the basic kit price and only drone price, he leave out the flymore combo kit

What is the difference between the 2 controllers with built in screen?
I don't think mine came with a "nacho cheese dispenser". Can I get that as an add-on? 😂😂😂
Only sold at Walmart, when the drone is placed next to the chips
I'm glade the nacho cheese dispenser is included on both

Such an overlooked and underappreciated item.

Does Mini 3 and Mini 3 pro have same batteries?
When’s the GoPro mini review video coming out?
Yeah, a bit behind on that one. On the short list though!
Both have reach the end of this list 😂👏

Here my question: any difference in low-light for pic/video? TY
If asked already sorry, couldn't fine in the 233 comments :-D
Great video as usual. Do them have C class marked? 2023 is comming and mini 2 will become unlegal on A1.
