    That's the best review for mini 3 base I have met until now. I should add this to the comparison with the Pro version: While the mini 3 Pro overheats when not flying, the mini 3 base does NOT!

    I'm still rocking the mini 1 and remember back when I asked if you could include an anemometer at location for your wind tests and you actually did.. One of the reasons I still get excited and smash the like button whenever you post a new video.
    Lucky to have found your great channel!
    I wonder if it would fall within your expertise/experience to make a video on how gimbals work :)

      ​@@samueljohns1437you can just get a mini 3 with the plus battery for this but be aware that they last up to 30-35 mins in real use. You can then position them above the area you are working on to do a hyperlapse
      If you have several batteries you can do more runs. Good luck

    Just scored one for $529. Recently got my GoPro Hero 12 for shooting fishing videos for my stream. Got this for those shots of the fish hitting the bait or even shots from high up 180 around me while I’m fishing. The only thing I’m worried about is the object avoidance not being on this one. I saw those two holes up top on the front and thought I just found a steal deal. But it’s okay I’ll get my practice in and get better at it.

    Have you got any tips for how to gain confidence flying in real high winds, especially over water, but without your sphincter tightening up or leaking?
    Been looking for any tips but haven’t found any.
    Cheers

    • @Dcrainmaker
      @Dcrainmaker  2 роки тому

      Haha...honestly, it's just trust knowing that as long as your top wind gust is below the top sport mode speed, you're fine. Also, leaving a buffer of battery to get back. For context, I've killed a lot of drones in my day, but never once in a wind test overwater. The DJI drones are just so reliable when it comes to high winds, there's really no concern.

    • @CaliforniaTravelVideos
      @CaliforniaTravelVideos 2 роки тому

      Agreed, it’s an involuntary reaction whenever we fly equipment over the water! Seriously, though, always fly into the wind going out so that you know coming back, you’ll have enough battery left to make it home. But if worse comes to worse (including if you are in RTH mode) Duckdown flying under 10 feet AGL (or is it AWL lol) to conserve battery energy. Finally, wear extra tight pants and cinch up your belt buckle to the point of pain to provide some relief for your poor sphincter muscle!

  • @ImpactWench
    @ImpactWench 2 роки тому +2

    I haven't understood the Mini 3 since it came out. Even with the RC-N1 you're talking about a drone that you could stuff in a jersey pocket if you wanted to, and a controller that you... can't, really. Why worry about how small the drone folds down to, if you're sticking with the humongous controllers?

    • @Dcrainmaker
      @Dcrainmaker  2 роки тому

      It's not as ideal as the old Mavic Air that worked with your phone (for close range shots while riding), but, the controller does actually fit in my back jersey pocket (most of my cycling jerseys have three pockets, so one for drone, one for controller/random nutrition, and one for phone). Keys floating around in whichever I feel.

  • @visserdh
    @visserdh Рік тому

    The mini 3 batteries last 4 minutes longer (38 min) then the pro (34 min), as the extra sensors on the pro are consuming extra battery power. With the "Fly-More-Combo pack" this means approx. 12 minutes longer fly time. And.... if you have a power bank with you, you can charge the first empty battery for more than one hour (2 x 38 min). If battery nr. 2 and 3 are empty too (after 72 minutes flight), battery nr. 1 can be used again as it takes approx. 1 hour charge per battery! Of course the fly time depends on al kind of variables (speed, wind etc), but still, you can fly about 4 times +/- 30 minutes = 2 hours ;-)

    • @Dcrainmaker

      It's hard to compare in that sense because the Mini 3 (non-Pro) is running O2, whereas the Mini 3 Pro is running O3. That said, in terms of my CE range, I was hitting about 1000-1100m before I saw signal degradation, which is in the same ballpark as I saw for the Mini 3 Pro (both with DJI RC).

    Damn dude you didn't talk about the right scroll wheel. I have a Mavic 3 Classic and the right scroll wheel will NOT do a continuous zoom. It does a hard switch in zoom power from 1 to 3 only. Does this with the Mini 3?

    I just boght the DJI mini 3 fly more combo (im from Norway by the way) and i didn’t think before i hit the purchase button, but is the mini 3 a good beginners drone? Does it take nice or blurry photos? is the videos laggy or nice and smooth when you are taking a video? I dont have a lot of expertise or experience with these sort of things, so i just wanted to ask someone who has more clue than i do on these sort of things!
    Nice video man, this inspired me to buy my first drone!

    Hello and thanks for the excellent video. I see you're also living on the coast of the Netherlands. I'm in The Hague and also going to purchase the mini 3. Could you give me some advice about what test/paperwork or certificate I would need to pass in order to use the mini 3 for commercial purposes in NL? And also for stock footage and UA-cam? Thanks a lot for any advice. Cheers AB

    Hiya mate, I’ve just got mini 3, I’ve not got SD card yet, I use my iPhone to fly it, I’m recording in 4k, but it doesn’t look as good as other videos I’ve seen of the 3 mini,, is it because it’s straight to iPhone and not using an SD card.?

    • @Dcrainmaker
      @Dcrainmaker  Рік тому

      Yeah, so when you look at the backup recording on your iPhone, it's only at 1080p. You'll want to choose to download the recording from the drone to your phone to get the full-res 4K recording. Check out my Mini 3 Pro (or Mini 4 Pro) beginners guide for how to do that, it's identical to the Mini 3 itself in that area.

    Been kicking around getting a drone. Been looking at the Mavic, but that sort of $$$ is a bit much, but I'm aware at how good it is. I'm really liking the Mini 3 Pro after checking it out...but one thing I've noticed in practically all drone video footage, there seems to be a slight jerkiness or "micro freezes" to the video (I can see it in every example you posted here in this review) Not super noticeable, but it is noticeable. Why is that?
    To be honest, I'm not particularly interested in having to invest in an expensive video editing suit and going through color grading and all sorts of post shot editing. Maybe if I capture something amazing, then, but in general, I just want it as more of a casual use/toy. I want something that'll take decent video straight out of the drone. From the examples you posted here, the Mini 3 seems to have decent quality straight from the drone, but I'm still concerned with that jerkiness. Probably not a big deal to most people, but it drives me nuts 🙂

    Thank you for an informative video. One question lingers for me. Does the drone require wifi/internet access to operate? I understand that downloading the firmware, etc, requires internet access. But does the drone also need it to operate in the field, where perhaps there’s no internet access?

    • @Dcrainmaker
      @Dcrainmaker  Рік тому +2

      No Wifi/ceullar required (except for updates you noted). In fact, since I use mine with the DJI RC most of the time, I never have cellular/wifi where I'm going (as I don't hotspot it to my phone). Zero issues.

    • @Dcrainmaker
      @Dcrainmaker  2 роки тому +1

      It'd be the same 720p feed as any previous drone to be honest. So unless you're on a Mavic 3/Mini 3 Pro/Avata, then all the previous units are Occusync 2. Totally fine for that.

    Thank you for making such great videos. I’m considering buying my 1st drone. My decision is toward the Mini 3 Pro (vs mini 2 pro) to get the avoidance system and the auto shots. They are $1000 vs $500 CAD 🇨🇦. Literally double but it seems worth it.

    Pricing on the Mini 3 is nuts. (Bear in mind I am talking AUD here). The Mini 3 fly more combo is $1188. The Mini 3 on its own is $674 and the fly more pack is $259... Do the math, how are two separate packs with the same contents as the combined pack so much less expensive???
