This is amazing man, I’ve always wanted to get a drone to be able to make some cool footage for videos but there’s so many different options so I was scared to spend money on one that I’d regret. After watching this video I’m a lot more convinced this is the one. Definitely subscribing, great demo to the new drone man. 👏👏
I bought a Phantom 3 Pro back in 2017. In 2020 a tree took it's life, a result of my error. A few weeks back I saw a mini 3 at my local Sam's Club and felt inspired to go online where i found the one i want. I purchased a dji Mini 3 Pro (DJI RC) and now I await for its arrival. Thank you for taking the time and effort it took to put this video together for us.
I've had my mini 2 for a year and I remain in awe that such amazing technology is available to the man in the street. I'm still learning so I can live without an improved drone for now. The new controller is a different matter, though; the want is strong with that! Thanks for posting so quickly, Darren.
you are right! I have bunch of dji drones, most of them are high end. But I love the mini series and I really love my mini 2 for scouting and exploring, my only complaint is the lack of obstacle avoidance tech, which I actually like having just incase. Like my mavic 2 pro I got, I fly that down tunnels sometimes to explore them if big enough and side sensing keeps it much more centered and blocks it from drifting into the wall.
Is it still under 250g? I think the screen would be better above the thumb sticks. Because now eyes are more down and your palm is covering part of the screen. Potentially pushing screen buttons.
Lucky you for being DJI's favorite! 😂 I'm surprised you got the new Mini 3 Pro before anyone else, but I'm more surprised about that actual fantastic product on your hand. It's finally here! I wish to get mine really soon. 😭
You're the luckiest man on earth ever to be the first one to fly the new DJI Mini 3! I can tell you're enjoying that smooth controller, and those shots are superb!! It looks so handy; I'm more than amazed. 🤩
Hello Darren, the dji fly app off my mini 2 says there’s an firmware update to 01.04.0000 (49,6 MB) although I am on 1.5.10 (604) now. I live in Belgium but I am in Spain now. Can you explain that? I don’t see anything on UA-cam off an update. Thanks for an answer!
You made history Darren, first UA-camr to fly the Mini 3. The fooyage looks nice and looking forward to more in depth reviews from you. Thank you and congratulations👍👍
Ok here are my five requests. ;) 1. Range test ... how far will it go? 😉 2. Obstacle avoidance capabilities and sensitivity. (will it stop you from going into a tree ... hitting small tree branches, telephone cables etc etc) 3. Noise comparison to Mini 2 ... is it quieter? 4. Real life scenario flight time. 5. Wind resistance
Getting my hands on the mini 3 pro would mean the world to me! Having sadly crashed my mini 2 last month and not being able to afford to repair it cuz of me still being in school and not being easy to earn enough money at the moment really makes me miss creating so many drone videos of the beautiful place where I live and would be such an amazing thing to be able to create again by winning this even more powerful and amazing drone! Also been with this channel since 5000 subs and helped me so much with my mini 2 and really do miss being able to fly regularly so would be such a great thing if I did win ☺️
Thanks for nice review! Could you please clarify me 2 things: 1) does the brightness change smoothly (stepless) in the video shooting mode in AutoISO? It happens when you shoot in sunny weather and you have to use auto ISO. But when the sun sets behind a cloud or comes out, or there is a "flight" from behind the house (from dark scene), the brightness changes dramatically with hard steps in video. For example in Mavic 2 Pro the automatic exposure works good but with step changes (the brightness does not change smoothly as on ion regulary camera); 2) is it possible to shoot "at an angle" with the drone's camera (it has a vertical mode and a horizontal more - so is it possible to move it at an angle, such as little imitating of FPV or moves imitation with an electronic steadicam), especially the joysticks on the remote controller are similar to ones on FPV?
Great video, and a world exclusive… luv it… can’t wait to see more. I bet you never imagined you would be doing a world exclusive video of an unannounced dji drone. Congrats. You deserve all the likes you get for this and the unboxing video 👍🏻
Hi pal would you recommend the mini 3 or the A2S? I'm in Ireland and we've had a price drop on the A2S but I'm on the fence about the mini 3. Should I wait?
Whats the video transmission latency like? An easy way to test is put a stopwatch in the view of the drone cam and the controller next to the drone. Then video record all three and upload. When we pause we can see the different time on the stopwatch and video feed on the controller. Thanks :)
Pretty much sums it up for me, SOLD! ;) Been following the leaks and specs closely for weeks. I only have 3 remaining questions. 1. Screen brightness in the sun... same as the Pro controller? 2. Does the controller have usb or hdmi OUT? 3. Is there any indication of waypoints, current or future?
I have the same question about brightness. The DJI RC has a USB (maybe out) but no HDMI. HDMI out is one of the premium functions of the RC PRO. Unfortunately DJI doesn't have waypoints in the latest generation of drones since MA2.
The waypoints thing is a shame. I'd love to do the same routes in both video and shots at different times of year and I'm no way good enough at flying to get them close enough without it 🤣
@@davidmaskew Agree. Such a shame. I fly over the ocean filming great white sharks, whales and dolphins. I use waypoints to create search grids to locate them. Have over 100 saved for Litchi up and down the SoCal coast. Maybe ill wait until someone confirms the M3 works with it. :/
Stop hatting yal ! The man give us a exclusive first video flight , im sure it took him quite some afford into getting this to us asap , and that is what is all about. You can now tell anybody that actually cares about this drone releases that you saw it flying , remote screen , drone lights ext . Me ? I told my girl i just saw the new DJI mini 3 exclusive first hand flight and she looked at me like i was talking to her about football, dint care at all! 😂 but one of my dudes wants to buy my DJI mini 2 as soon as i told him i was buying a Mini 3 , so that makes me want to sell the 2 and get the 3. The propellers look bigger to! By the way i would love to know the speed and if it elevates faster. Thank you again for the exclusive man! Well done! Keep us informed!
Question , the remote control has a built-in microphone to make audio recordings if you want to comment on your flight or not ? With the dji mini 2 posible make recordings with applications audio and screenshot on the smartphone.
Well done Darren and congratulations on getting hold of the Mini 3 and bringing it to us. One up for the UK and all the hard work you put it in previously.
About freaking time! You have done the dji family a solid with this video. It has been a long time coming. Now I think I'm going to sale every drone I have until I can afford this one. Great video!💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥✌
I'm really looking forward to the Mini 2 footage comparison. If there is a big quality difference then I'm actually considering upgrading to the Mini 3. If the quality difference ain't that big, than I'm keeping the Mini 2 and just save up for something like the Air2s.
@@KAPOPRO but air2s is more restriced where it is legal to fly due to flight restrictions. thats why i cancelled my air2s order and decided to wait for this new little boy
@@nexus_at In EU those two go under C0 and C1 categories, both under the A1 regulation. The only difference is, that with sub 250g you can fly over the uninvolved people.
Would this be a worth upgrade from the mavic air2.? The air2s and mavic 3 have not been worth it. This mini is smaller and lighter but what about the quality compared to the air2 etc
Omg …. You got one already … I thought it was delayed …. Looks amazing and the drone looks bigger than I thought it was …. Amazing looking drone 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No so what happened was he signed up for this DJI program where you can test their drones and do reviews on them. He doesn't own it, he'll have to send it back within 30 days.
@@BobbyClaus212 well he could just buy the one they sent him. no way do i see him boxing it up and sending it back to the dji store within 30 days. did he tell you he had to send it back?
Dear Darren, you are making this day epic for your followers. I am very glad that you were the first to show us the elegant flight of this impressive Mini 3. And yes, it is you who is there, for the skeptics who did not believe in you. Thanks a lot!!! 👋
Did you try the vertical video? Curious to know how it'll show up on the controller screen. I'm trying to figure out if I should just return the mini 2 and wait/pre-order the 3 cuz I bought the mini 2 before the 3 was announced
Time to sell my Mini 2, Darren! lol Great that you have brought out this video so quickly. Thanks very much! :-) Hopefully, ND filters will be produced for this new model asap! All the best.
Darren you are the main man. Thank you so much for sharing this and putting it up so quickly. Just in the process of watching, so I will get back to you with any questions. Fantastic mate, well done on the first reveal and flight. Del 👍
@@DMProductions I could see you looked a bit excited about it. Looking forward to the intense, honest and genuine review as always. Hope your able to get out over the weekend, so we can see it perform and check out the camera quality. 👍
Hows the dji rc performs compared to rc pro? Are the arm leds have same brightness as air 2s or mavic 3? Cant wait to get mine

Show de bola amigo DM Productions, muitos amigos aqui no Brasil com muita vontade de ver esse Mini 3, o grande detalhe é que talvez ele vem pra cá num valor meio salgado, mais a espectativa é grande. Eu mesmo se tivesse condições pegaria um pra mim,mais quem sabe um dia né, parabéns linda as imagens. Deus abençoe.
@@KrZm19 yea I received the same message don't fall for it if you click on the page it's clearly not Darren's page people do this hoping your stupid enough to send them your info so they can rip you off
@@KrZm19 it's pretty sad what people do these days to try to rip someone off ..... I wanna tell them 2 just get a dam job and earn your own 💰 people work hard for their money these days and these scammers think it's cool to just try to take someone's hard earned 💰 it's SAD 😢
@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL There are a few UA-camrs that really give away free stuff Captain Drone is 1 of them he had a free hubsan zino mini pro giveaway but you had to be subscribed to his channel and answer a few questions then he had another UA-cam video where he clearly named the person that won the drone .... Same thing happened to him someone made a fake profile and tried this same exact Whatsapp scam I ended up reporting them and let Captain Drone know what was going on he messaged me back saying ty for bringing it to his attention and he was glad I didn't fall for the scam
Footage looks low quality missing details. Not much different from mini 2. It could be the way you encoded? Watching in a 4k it look like an up-convented footage from 1080p.
Thanks for the video! I am so excited for this drone and I am happy to see that you can test this thing out for us. This will be my first drone and you can't imagine, how much I am looking forward to get this piece of tech 😅 Keep it on!
So, will the Mini 3 smart controller work wit a Mavic 3. Additionally, does the controller have built in GPS (in case you need to update Home Point), and presumably tethers nicely to an iPhone to get maps etc from the Internet?
How does it behave if the tail sweeps out in a curve. If you fly a curve this is the behavior. Does the sensors detect? Maybe you fly a hand with along a wall and make a curve away from it.
Thanks for this great first review, something I wasn't expecting to see for another week! This should be a home run for DJI if the pricing isn't totally outrageous.
@@Rule1ModelRailways it's not really "entry level" though. Based on the leaks so far, it's basically a sub 249g Air 2S with a few more features like the rotating gimbal. I suspect the Mini Se and and Mini 2 will remain in the lineup to fill the "entry level" positions.
@@92ASC as long as the mini 2 remains in the market...it'll be the best selling drone of all time. everyone upgrading and getting better...yet no one can get to sub 500$ for their quads. I'm alright with this as long as they keep producing it- mini 2 is still very capable.
Would love to have this drone, I started saving up as soon as I saw your videos leaks about this drone but as a student getting saving up is quite difficult. Love the true vertical shooting
have you ever tested the tracking control system, because I think it's great, I now have the mavic air 2, and I'm considering buying the mini3 pro, but first I want to know whether this tracking function works optimally. Thanks in advance for the first test flight
First mini 3 video I’ve seen. Brilliant. Definitely going to be one of the first customers for this. Had the mini 1 since 2019 and it has been incredible. Flown through -20 C to +40 C all over the world and never had any issues!
Good Job, very nice Drone.. One Question: Is the Camera Quality closer to the Air 2 or to the Air 2S.. i own a Air 2S and i would change but only if the Camera quality is more in the Corner of the Air 2S The 249Gramm Factor““😊😁 Thx and best wishes🎈
This is amazing. Glad you got to fly it! I’m wondering if this controller is compatible with the Mini 2? I really like it and the fact the screen is built in and I don’t have to use the phone
Very nice and thanks for the preview. It seems to me that the horizon line is crooked and hangs very conspicuously. This would be a big deal, was it windy? or do you know the reason? Thanks
Great that they are finally shipping these but what happened about the Mini 3 (non Pro) version? There appears to be no date and all mention of it has evaporated! Do you have any info?
How does it compare to the air 2s camera quality wise obviously better battery life which is the only thing I hate about my air 2s thought I can fly in 50km/h wind.
@@KardosoMedia Hey!!! I think the video quality is the same as the mini 2. The missing details on the video looks like an up-converted 1080p to 4k. Based on this video is the Mini 2 in a new body. But I think is a cool looking drone. I like the shape, also they should have allowed 180 degree video recording. It is a mini 2 with better low light recording, but not much.
@@InteractiveDNA yeah I think the same I’ll happily keep my air 2s with it’s amazing video quality plus I need wind resistance but can’t justify $3,000au for a drone like a mavic 3.

Nice but I had a Spark ⚡️ Magic Air and now a 2S which I’m staying with, I’m in the No More Drones Zone.

Thanks for nice review! Could you please clarify me 2 things:
1) does the brightness change smoothly (stepless) in the video shooting mode in AutoISO?

Does it have d log Darren?
Will the A2s still have a place after this one is released ?
Air2s still has the larger camera sensor, is quicker and most definitely handles the wind better. I’d 100% still buy it over the Mini 3

@@aearly841 Good to know. Thanks.
keep them coming, you have beat all the other youtubers to the youtube game.
cheers Russell
3:21 does it only have front sensors?
If no, why didn’t you check the others?
Side and top is more important
Hows the dji rc performs compared to rc pro? Are the arm leds have same brightness as air 2s or mavic 3? Cant wait to get mine
Show de bola amigo DM Productions, muitos amigos aqui no Brasil com muita vontade de ver esse Mini 3, o grande detalhe é que talvez ele vem pra cá num valor meio salgado, mais a espectativa é grande. Eu mesmo se tivesse condições pegaria um pra mim,mais quem sabe um dia né, parabéns linda as imagens. Deus abençoe.
Dont believe it. It send me the same text
@@KrZm19 yea I received the same message don't fall for it if you click on the page it's clearly not Darren's page people do this hoping your stupid enough to send them your info so they can rip you off
@@KrZm19 it's pretty sad what people do these days to try to rip someone off ..... I wanna tell them 2 just get a dam job and earn your own 💰 people work hard for their money these days and these scammers think it's cool to just try to take someone's hard earned 💰 it's SAD 😢
@@Carisacarina all giveaways on YT are fake ppl. Don’t fall for any of them
@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL There are a few UA-camrs that really give away free stuff Captain Drone is 1 of them he had a free hubsan zino mini pro giveaway but you had to be subscribed to his channel and answer a few questions then he had another UA-cam video where he clearly named the person that won the drone .... Same thing happened to him someone made a fake profile and tried this same exact Whatsapp scam I ended up reporting them and let Captain Drone know what was going on he messaged me back saying ty for bringing it to his attention and he was glad I didn't fall for the scam
Footage looks low quality missing details. Not much different from mini 2. It could be the way you encoded? Watching in a 4k it look like an up-convented footage from 1080p.
Thanks for the video! I am so excited for this drone and I am happy to see that you can test this thing out for us. This will be my first drone and you can't imagine, how much I am looking forward to get this piece of tech 😅
Keep it on!
It will be my first one as well. !!
So, will the Mini 3 smart controller work wit a Mavic 3. Additionally, does the controller have built in GPS (in case you need to update Home Point), and presumably tethers nicely to an iPhone to get maps etc from the Internet?
How does it behave if the tail sweeps out in a curve. If you fly a curve this is the behavior. Does the sensors detect? Maybe you fly a hand with along a wall and make a curve away from it.
Thanks for this great first review, something I wasn't expecting to see for another week! This should be a home run for DJI if the pricing isn't totally outrageous.
It is outrageous. Over £800 for an entry level drone.
@@Rule1ModelRailways it's not really "entry level" though. Based on the leaks so far, it's basically a sub 249g Air 2S with a few more features like the rotating gimbal.
I suspect the Mini Se and and Mini 2 will remain in the lineup to fill the "entry level" positions.
@@92ASC as long as the mini 2 remains in the market...it'll be the best selling drone of all time.
everyone upgrading and getting better...yet no one can get to sub 500$ for their quads.
I'm alright with this as long as they keep producing it- mini 2 is still very capable.
Wow👍👌
Thank you 🙏
So how long did the battery last?
Would love to have this drone, I started saving up as soon as I saw your videos leaks about this drone but as a student getting saving up is quite difficult. Love the true vertical shooting
What’s ur recommended video editing for windows as a starter and apps ?
Thank you
I'd love to know if it's compatible with the DJI FPV Goggles, with it being Ocusync 3? Thank you for your excellent work too!!
You and me both! Hate flying from a phone screen on sunny days!
have you ever tested the tracking control system, because I think it's great, I now have the mavic air 2, and I'm considering buying the mini3 pro, but first I want to know whether this tracking function works optimally. Thanks in advance for the first test flight
now the big question is...does it shoot 10 bit video?
First mini 3 video I’ve seen. Brilliant. Definitely going to be one of the first customers for this. Had the mini 1 since 2019 and it has been incredible. Flown through -20 C to +40 C all over the world and never had any issues!
Good Job, very nice Drone..
One Question:
Is the Camera Quality closer to the Air 2 or to the Air 2S.. i own a Air 2S and i would change but only if the Camera quality is more in the Corner of the Air 2S
The 249Gramm Factor““😊😁
Thx and best wishes🎈
What was the screen brightness like - Did the box info give any info on the nits?
Is a phone required at all, other than initial setup and registration? If not, that is a factor in justifying the higher cost.
This is amazing. Glad you got to fly it! I’m wondering if this controller is compatible with the Mini 2? I really like it and the fact the screen is built in and I don’t have to use the phone
its sooo good
Will that controller work with Air2s? How different from the pro.
Doesn’t look like much clearance from drone to floor ?.
check if there is active track?
Curious to see the distance it can fly from controller. The antenna doesn’t look very strong.
Hi Darren, how did you managed to get this drone before the launch date? They sent it to you for review?
I want to know if the mini 3 will be compatible with the RC pro controller ..🤔
whats the flight time ? How long does battery last before you have to swap out and put a new one on?
I like this guy He just goes straight forward with it. Thankyou for the video...from Canada!
Cheers Canada 🇨🇦
Very nice and thanks for the preview.
It seems to me that the horizon line is crooked and hangs very conspicuously.
This would be a big deal, was it windy? or do you know the reason?
Thanks
Important question, there is ACTIVE TRACK?
yes
Thanks for the video mate. I'm about to get my first drone, but i dont know what to pick yet, this mini 3 or the air 2. Any opinion?
Does the camera pan down passed 90 degrees? It looks as if can look behind its self.
Great that they are finally shipping these but what happened about the Mini 3 (non Pro) version? There appears to be no date and all mention of it has evaporated! Do you have any info?
Great to see it in the air. Did you put the strobes on? What does it weigh with the two strobes?
I assume with that controller you can’t install third party apps like Litchi?
Just recently received my rc pro controller. I’m now debating whether to return it and go with this controller and obviously the mini 3?
How does it compare to the air 2s camera quality wise obviously better battery life which is the only thing I hate about my air 2s thought I can fly in 50km/h wind.
Aside from weight & battery life the Air2s is still the better buy in my opinion
@@KardosoMedia Hey!!! I think the video quality is the same as the mini 2. The missing details on the video looks like an up-converted 1080p to 4k. Based on this video is the Mini 2 in a new body. But I think is a cool looking drone. I like the shape, also they should have allowed 180 degree video recording. It is a mini 2 with better low light recording, but not much.
The video quality is the same as the Mini 2. Keep the Air 2S.
@@InteractiveDNA yeah I think the same I’ll happily keep my air 2s with it’s amazing video quality plus I need wind resistance but can’t justify $3,000au for a drone like a mavic 3.
