I literally can't say enough good things about your videos. You are absolutely hilarious dude. You create so much humor with the perfect amount of effort, absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you!
Your like the anti-youtuber, every influencer's nightmare. No coloured background lights, no 'let's get into it' followed by loud music,just honest straight from the gut consise reviews of what really matters. The humour is unscripted and so well done. Absolutely sold on the mini and the webinar. Keep it up!
I honestly still prefer my Mini 2. Feels the perfect balance from Mini 1 being not enough drone and the Mini 3 Pro almost being too much drone for what it is. I sold mine wasn’t into it.
I've seen hundreds of Drone reviews. I'm a qualified Drone Pilot....since 2017 so I feel I can make a genuinely informed comment. Your review is just 100% on the nail! I love the fact that the information comes ahead of the personality. I just want the information....plain and simple! You are the bench mark for how any UA-cam Video should be. At last...a no nonsense video!
I just got back from Iceland , carried this drone with me. Flew it in the wind, over huge waterfalls, many times. It performed flawlessly. I am impressed, so far. It flies well and the camera is awesome.
planning to go july 2023 but im constantly reading about more restrictions using drones there like in national parks. I love the fact it can capture so many different perspectives so quickly. Instead of taking a camera and having to walk up and around to get different shots of landscapes, waterfalls, etx.
@@beachdweller3378 you'll be able to use in many amazing places where there are no restrictions. The place I had in mind when buying the drone was Stokkness and there no restrictions there. Also many many other amazing places. Just do some research and you'll be ok.
I flew in Iceland in 2019 with the original Mavic Pro - and it held up amazingly over the falls! I'm overdue for an upgrade and this may be the drone. Also overdue for a trip back to Iceland...and Athens (didn't make it due to COVID, so time to make up) 😃
Forget about the drone. You make top notch videos that are right on point. No flashy intros. No "Today's sponsor". Right on point and unbiased review of the product. Keep up the good work.
Holy shit, what a great video. A really good review, but with a lot of unique moments and great jokes as well. I CANNOT BELIEVE you flew that giant-ass Inspire Drone indoors like that, but I love that you did. It was audacious, hilarious, and a really great moment - all at the same time - WHILE being informative as well! Also the joke at 6:21 is fantastic.
HAHAHAHAHAHHA The drone noise test part was sooo good 💀. Gotta love Dji for always releasing solid upgrades. They dont just put one new feature and call it a day..literally fixing as much quality of life / features as they possibly can for the next one.
This Video is everything: Informative, Funny, Compact and yet long - love it! I'm impressed with my Mini 3 Pro as well. It feels like a shrunk Mavic 3 Pro and not a Mini 3.
Just bought mine. Man, your channel is funneling me in like top tier marketing professionals. I'm really considering the paid course after I've gotten my feet wet, which says a lot since I'm a senior software engineer and therefore very used to curating large amounts of free knowledge on the internet for whatever new tech I need to learn. I have the initial impression that your style, structure, and quality are worth the money.
Hey brother, I am in a wheelchair and I just flying drones back in 2019. I just had a mjx bugs 4 pro $200 drone. You do an AWESOME review and you have to because this is your job... The mini 3 might be my next drone as I like the distance it can go as well as purchasing that rc controller vs using my phone. I hate losing my satellites and my wifi feed. I'm not going more than 200 to 300 meters.... It's a great hobby and keep up the great work! Nick
I particularly like the final comment about the 3 having its own market. I'm definitely in that market. I love the 2 but owning a Phantom 4 Pro, I missed so much apart from the shear bulk and noise. I think it was a clever strategy giving the "Pro" designator to reinforce this being a seismic leap rather than a gentle step up. I simply cannot believe they've changed just about everything other than the weight. It also means us 2 owners aren't left with some obsolete dream. They've opened up a decent used market so hoping to recover 2/3 of what I paid in order to upgrade. Great vid!
Love the down-to-earth, feet-on-the-ground reviewing style here! I have a Mini 2 which has been a revelation. As I post mainly on Instagram I’m going to upgrade to the 3 because of the rotating lens, and take all the other incredible features as a mega-bonus. Incredible work, DJI - chapeau!! 👏👏👏👍🤩
I thought this was gonna be serious all throughout at first but then the subtle jokes and looks you throw at the Mini Pro 3 really had me in stitches. The best part was the Noise Test while yelling at the camera when the Inspire took off. But the review was also spot on and made me feel even better with my impulse purchase on Day 1. Thank you!
Hey, Thank you so much. I found your page yesterday when i was looking for a drone to shoot videos as a beginner. I went with the DJI mini 3 cause you comparing all the drones you had together. Thank you so much I really appreciate it.
What a great review. The best I have seen for the Mini3. All aspects discussed, with all bases covered. I have seen many Mini 3 reviews, but this is to the point, without trying to talk everyone up from the Mini 2 to the Mini 3. I have the Air 2S and Mini 2 with many questions of the Mini 3, which you answered. Really enjoyed the video and scenery, showing all aspects and capabilities. Cheers, Adam.
bravo sir i haven't genuinely laughed during a product review in a long time but when you take off the inspire inside and the look you gave it. wonderful.
Alex you're the best drone reviewer on UA-cam. I've had the mini 1 for 2 years(Never crashed it and flown it often). Didn't buy the mini 2, but I will buy this drone.
I want to thank you for this video. Because of this video, I bought this drone and I am so happy with it. The Mavic 3 Classic launched today but I have zero buyers remorse. I've already captured videos and photos and I'm blown away by the capabilities of it. My previous drone is the Mavic Pro. So again, thank you for all your thoughts and info and you do a really great job.
Thank you for the nice review. DJI Mini 3 Pro is a beautiful drone but still almost $1000 where Mini 2 right now on Amazon going for $304 on sale. So we talking about $600-$700 difference!
BRO, BROoooooo. I thoroughly enjoy your explanations and demonstrations when explaining lighting, shadows, sensors, HDR etc. A lot of reviews and youtubers cover that but they don't go in detail or are very surface giving you a sorta general understanding but you give a us a break down helping us (me) to understand. Keep it up. Enjoying your style.
The absolute fear growing on your face as you took off with the Mavic 3 and then the Inspire was absolutely worth the entire video!! I like the Mini 3 Pro, but I just think its a tad too expensive. I bought the Air 2s this year and I think they're too close in price for my usage. Thanks for the video!
I agree. I was planning on getting the A2s but ended up getting the mini 3. I think I’m regretting it especially ow that I just found out it doesn’t have a built in fan. Will it be Prone to overheating.
I bought a P3 pro less than a month after they were released. I love it, and I hate seeing it go unused. But I couldn't resist the Mini 3 Pro. Amazing device. Thanks for your honest insight. I'll stop feeling guilty about my old drone one day, it's like dumping an old friend.
Great review. I was skeptical on it with the increase in price and figured I’d just upgrade to the air 2s but I’m seeing now that the mini 3 might be the better choice. Even just the option for those bigger batteries is honestly a game changer. I was at a shoot last week for a condo neighborhood that needed multiple photos of all 36 buildings and video of the community. I went through 3 and a half batteries to just finish the photos and had to drive back another day for video.
Some advice. Drive there a day early. Pre plan everything. Down to the flight path n plans. U will save alot of time and battery. I shot 3 houses. In 3 separate towns one over 45 min away I took one drone 3 batteries. N came home with 1 full still and one with about 1/4 left of flyable charge. I never fly past 38 % batt. So in the end I didn't use much at all. I didn't even pre plan this time . I took roughly 100 pics per house and a 1min video for 2 of the places.
@@maddmavic it was a next day shoot and honestly If I’m going to drive 45 minutes there just to plan it makes no sense not to shoot. It still results in having to go to the property twice. I was quick and hitting each building in a grid like pattern. 36 buildings is just a lot lol
@@Mbehr24 the air 2s is badass man. If you already got it I’d probably stick with it if you plan to be more video focused. That 10 bit color, log profile and 5.4k allowing you to crop in post are definitely nice.
Thank you for the detailed intro Alex. Your newsletter and this video prompted me to make the purchase. I am a moto traveler and been using the Air 2 for couple of years now. I was going to shell out $1000 for a smart controller because I've already ruined two phones out on the field, dropping and messing up the charging port but for $1400 including a smaller drone, active track, vertical recording, accessories AAAND a smart controller....Air 2 just went on sale on Ebay. Love your videos and thank you for being a cool youtuber and not one of those "HEEEEYYY GUYS!!!!!"
@@nomadhomad3685 Even the thinnest iphone case won't fit into the controller snug enough to stay put and it's slipped out several times. A lot of times I'm on the side of a mountain road, no shoulder or very little room to park my motorcycle, I just whip out the controller, shove my phone in and get the footage I need before I get hit by traffic and mistakes happen while I'm trying to be quick. Used to have a dedicated iphone 7 for that purpose alone but it started having battery issues and a few time it heated up so I just decided to use my personal phone and already dropped it twice.
After having gotten a Mini 2 second hand in like new condition, you convinced me to purchase the Mini 3 Pro with the standard RC-1N controller given the bump in footage quality with the Cinelike option which isn't available with the Mini 2. Although I get what you're saying about not using your smartphone due to text messaging, calls, etc.. My solution was to get a second hand iPhone and don't put a SIM card in it. I have an iPhone 7 with 256GB storage that is my backup phone and is dedicated to my drone. My primary daily driver iPhone 8 with the same storage capacity - less money and if the iPhone 7 dies, you go and get another phone instead of having to send the whole controller back for repair. It's all about redundancy and trust me, I've had my fair share of things happen where I was thankful I had a spare camera body, etc while on a paying photo shoot. Not sure if an iPod touch would fulfill the same requirements but there's a logical reason to not be tied to a proprietary controller that can't be used if the built in screen gets damaged/becomes non functioning.
I just bought one. I think that true 4k vertical video is going to be very valuable for selling footage. I think more companies will want that with how popular TikTok, Reels, and shorts are at this point.
Alex, great review. Ive always respected your opinion. I have the Mini 2 and wanted to upgrade to the Air 2 S because of the better camera. I watched another video where they compared the camera in studio between the Mini3 and the Air 2 S and in some cases the Mini3 performed better. With added features like a 60 degree swing upward is the Air 2 S the right choice now?
If you can get the Air2S on sale and don't care about being under 250g, then air2s is a better deal IMO. Recently there was a sale of air2s at $800. You get a tad batter image quality and a bigger and more stable drone.
Beautifully produced video and what an excellent choice in music… fantastic all around. Thanks for producing this content and I’ve just subscribed. I’m personally waiting for the Mavic 3 pro before I upgrade. The Mavic 3 is a disappointment in a lot of areas.
I both love and hate this. It hasn’t even been a year since I bought the dji mini 2 fly more combo. $800 in 🇨🇦. I bought it thinking the Mini line wouldn’t change the sensor, as it would make it too ‘premium’ and DJI would want to keep that to their more expensive offerings…. Great… Ps - Great content as always, mister!
I've had a debate with my friend. I told him Dji will eventually add sensors and he wouldn't believe....look what we have now. 😂 Unfortunately he passed away last year in April... Can't say "I told you so" 🥲
@@yuchinxia8030 Costco is selling DJI Mini 2 w/ fly more combos for $519cad. Realistically you could only sell your mini 2 around $300 and if lucky $400. No where near enough to cover the cost of mini 3 pro. At this point I would just wait until mini 3 becomes less expensive.
I'm not a drone guy at all, I've flown my brother's once, but you did a phenominal job on this video kept my interest, and superb flow, quality, and editing.
ROTFL, thank you for putting your life at risk for us with those drone sound test!! Your expression when you pulled out the Inspire was epic.. Thanks again!!
The moment that you launch the large drone in your living room to demonstrate the noise it makes ... hilarious. Having said that, nice and learn full video, thanks.
So glad I subbed to this channel. The level of bullsh*t is ZERO... the no nonsense approach is the best. I wish other channels would learn from this guy.
Ahhhhh, I just sold my mini 2 to buy this. Thank you for this review. I’m not an influencer, just a mom who loves documenting EVERYTHING and the vertical option was it for me!
I have had my DJ mini for about two months and I only launched it yesterday because of a few life issues that got in my way but it's a fantastic drone and the image quality is really good for such a small drone if you are just wanting to get into it and it's not going to be a huge thing I would go for this drone no problems at all and it's definitely drone safe in terms of all the features that the remote control has and the screen is really easy to see
I purchased the mini 3 pro about a month ago, first drone and absolutely loving it. I’ve come back to the reviews as they pop up in feed but realised half way through you’re using the controller with no sticks 😂👍
I picked up a Mini 2 and took it out for an hour yesterday. Had a great time buzzing around the field; I may pick one of these up in a few years after i get my Part 107.
I have a mini 3 pro and love it. I've flown mine 3500 ft away down a river that was 38 ft below me and never got any signal issues and got great video...
Thanks for the wonderful review. First time I bumping into your channel. Simple to the point awesome review, justifying everything you say. btw, your drone videos looks just real, without any much edits. This put me to reality, and realizing.
Another great video which helped me decide on which drone to purchase for my first ever. As I mentioned in one other video from this gentleman is that I’m approaching 74 and living alone and just wanted to get out more for a purpose that excites me to go out, especially as I live in a very picturesque area and there’s so many areas that I have wanted to explore, looking at ancient stone circles and derelict mine areas amongst so many more places, both historical and new. This truly gives me the ability and freedom to be able to do this and so much more, not to mention giving me an exciting new hobby to pursue and get me out! Not quite sure about the comment of him having no problems as he’s not old or confused; both of which I have to firmly tick each box, but still determined to start to save my money to be able to purchase this drone and pursue this really unique and exciting past time and I never know, be able to perhaps earn a few pence for lateral thinking work. Thank you for helping with the unticking of the ‘confused’ box. Haven’t figured the ‘old’ bit yet, but it will certainly make being old so much more fun.
Well mate, a quick thanks. I have just decided to take advantage of the DJI end of financial year sale and get into drone photography. I do a bit of still photography and used to work in TV back in the 80's. Now with your recomendations (and others) I have bought a dji mini 3 Pro and RC controller with fly more pack and a set of ND polarizing filters. can't wait till it arrives and I can get practising before our Outback Australia holiday later this year. All I need now is information on the Editing packages around nowadays, it would be 15 years since I did Video editing.
great review full of useful information. especially like the footage from near where i live too. i really appreciate the hard work you (and other reviewers) put into these reviews - many thanks - a joy to watch
Just brought one today. Solid little drone. Stunning camera. Had Parrot Bebop and anafi. Honestly think that Mini 3 got inspiration from the anafi, with regards front of drone. Stunning bird.
Bro, you had me rolling with the noise comparison of the other DJI drones. I did not expect the Inspire to be in the picture. I needed a good laugh. Thank you. Keep up the good work. Subbed
Great video with very complete, unbiased, and clear review. I can understand why you are getting a high following that seem to be loyal to your channel! Good Job!
introduce your kids to drones and they'll never be able to afford drugs
LOL probably true.... until they somehow crash them anyways

Solid advice.
Untill we make enough money for both lol, jokes aside great video!

Not sure what a colourful background's relevance is, but yeah the rest is true
Yep nice review. But you must love it too when he goes with sexy humor like caressing that RC with petals raining down... 😅😅😅

I’m dead after he launched the Inspire 2 in his house 🤣🤣🤣
His reaction was hilarious hahahaha
It really felt like a comedy bit 🤣 The panic in his eyes when the inspire moved a bit backwards 🤣🤣
The look on his face
Launches it then in the 3rd cut he's outa there and it's on its own and the lights are red. Hostile take over.
😂
I really laughed when you flew the biggest drone inside your house haha.
Me too, was hilarious!
haha me too that inspire is a monster
I just got back from Iceland , carried this drone with me. Flew it in the wind, over huge waterfalls, many times. It performed flawlessly. I am impressed, so far. It flies well and the camera is awesome.
Oh wow, I am planning to go to Iceland at some point this year. This is the exact reason I was looking at Drones xD !

Used to have a dedicated iphone 7 for that purpose alone but it started having battery issues and a few time it heated up so I just decided to use my personal phone and already dropped it twice.
Nice...watch that

Nice first look and overview of the new DJI Mini 3. This drone is very impressive, the best Mini drone I have seen yet. Thanks for sharing.
Bigger is not always better. Keeping it light but still getting amazing shots from the DJI Mini 3 Pro.
Remember that when u have to fly in windy conditions😅
@@Panther- The best camera is the one you have with you
After having gotten a Mini 2 second hand in like new condition, you convinced me to purchase the Mini 3 Pro with the standard RC-1N controller given the bump in footage quality with the Cinelike option which isn't available with the Mini 2. Although I get what you're saying about not using your smartphone due to text messaging, calls, etc.. My solution was to get a second hand iPhone and don't put a SIM card in it. I have an iPhone 7 with 256GB storage that is my backup phone and is dedicated to my drone. My primary daily driver iPhone 8 with the same storage capacity - less money and if the iPhone 7 dies, you go and get another phone instead of having to send the whole controller back for repair. It's all about redundancy and trust me, I've had my fair share of things happen where I was thankful I had a spare camera body, etc while on a paying photo shoot. Not sure if an iPod touch would fulfill the same requirements but there's a logical reason to not be tied to a proprietary controller that can't be used if the built in screen gets damaged/becomes non functioning.
I just bought one. I think that true 4k vertical video is going to be very valuable for selling footage. I think more companies will want that with how popular TikTok, Reels, and shorts are at this point.
the noise comparison was the best part. Always appreciate your videos for the info and the humor.
Alex, great review. Ive always respected your opinion. I have the Mini 2 and wanted to upgrade to the Air 2 S because of the better camera. I watched another video where they compared the camera in studio between the Mini3 and the Air 2 S and in some cases the Mini3 performed better. With added features like a 60 degree swing upward is the Air 2 S the right choice now?
If you can get the Air2S on sale and don't care about being under 250g, then air2s is a better deal IMO. Recently there was a sale of air2s at $800. You get a tad batter image quality and a bigger and more stable drone.
@@martinzhang5533 thanks. I believe you are right.
What do you mean about 60 degree swing upward? Is this an automated shot sequence?
You may be the.best. reviewer of drones I've ever seen. Well done.
Beautifully produced video and what an excellent choice in music… fantastic all around. Thanks for producing this content and I’ve just subscribed.
I’m personally waiting for the Mavic 3 pro before I upgrade. The Mavic 3 is a disappointment in a lot of areas.
Small enough to fit in your ninja turtle lunch box 😂 I’m definitely buying this one now
I both love and hate this. It hasn’t even been a year since I bought the dji mini 2 fly more combo. $800 in 🇨🇦. I bought it thinking the Mini line wouldn’t change the sensor, as it would make it too ‘premium’ and DJI would want to keep that to their more expensive offerings…. Great…
Ps - Great content as always, mister!
I've had a debate with my friend. I told him Dji will eventually add sensors and he wouldn't believe....look what we have now. 😂 Unfortunately he passed away last year in April... Can't say "I told you so" 🥲
you can always sell your mini 2 to the 2nd hand market.
@@yuchinxia8030 Costco is selling DJI Mini 2 w/ fly more combos for $519cad. Realistically you could only sell your mini 2 around $300 and if lucky $400. No where near enough to cover the cost of mini 3 pro. At this point I would just wait until mini 3 becomes less expensive.
Nice...watch that

I'm not a drone guy at all, I've flown my brother's once, but you did a phenominal job on this video kept my interest, and superb flow, quality, and editing.
Love your stuff man! Honest, informative, not cheesy. Good shit, great work, keep it up!!
Very impressed and appreciative of your comments. Will buy one.
ROTFL, thank you for putting your life at risk for us with those drone sound test!! Your expression when you pulled out the Inspire was epic.. Thanks again!!
Dude, that sound comparison segment was priceless, when you fired up the Inspire I laughed out loud!
The moment that you launch the large drone in your living room to demonstrate the noise it makes ... hilarious.
Having said that, nice and learn full video, thanks.
total newb here. just bought this drone for my beginner drone. Love your vids, they are the best ones hands down. Thanks
So glad I subbed to this channel. The level of bullsh*t is ZERO... the no nonsense approach is the best. I wish other channels would learn from this guy.
Literally the best video on this drone
aww thanks!
that's really the most impressive review to dji mini 3, i' ve ever seen on youtube. Thanks for useful details.
Ahhhhh, I just sold my mini 2 to buy this. Thank you for this review. I’m not an influencer, just a mom who loves documenting EVERYTHING and the vertical option was it for me!
wth this is one of the greatest review i have ever seen, great job man, the tips about the controller are SO on point
thx
I have had my DJ mini for about two months and I only launched it yesterday because of a few life issues that got in my way but it's a fantastic drone and the image quality is really good for such a small drone if you are just wanting to get into it and it's not going to be a huge thing I would go for this drone no problems at all and it's definitely drone safe in terms of all the features that the remote control has and the screen is really easy to see
Hope you get better ❤
The scene with roses and controller literally made me like this video :)
You answer questions the moment they appear. Love, how you write your videos.
I appreciate your humor. Good stuff.
For that sound demonstration, you've got a sub!
This has been the best Mini 3 pro review I’ve seen. Great job man
That indoor test had me dying!! The mini was expected, the Mavic surprised me, but the Inspire had me out of my chair! lol
Me too 😂🤣😂🤣 when the inspire came out the only thing I was thinking and praying was,, Please don't hit the fan 🤣
There's so many great comments there's nothing left to say, other than your awesome personality. The consummate professional.🙏
That was hilarious flying the Inspire in your home. The look on your face was priceless. LOL!!! You looked so scared. Thanks for the review!
I purchased the mini 3 pro about a month ago, first drone and absolutely loving it. I’ve come back to the reviews as they pop up in feed but realised half way through you’re using the controller with no sticks 😂👍
I just subscribed because you clearly value the art over the technology and you're informative.
I picked up a Mini 2 and took it out for an hour yesterday. Had a great time buzzing around the field; I may pick one of these up in a few years after i get my Part 107.
I have a mini 3 pro and love it. I've flown mine 3500 ft away down a river that was 38 ft below me and never got any signal issues and got great video...
Bruh you sold me. Perfect Video, Also the Noise Comparison inside your Flat. great Content.
Thanks for the wonderful review. First time I bumping into your channel.
Simple to the point awesome review, justifying everything you say.
btw, your drone videos looks just real, without any much edits. This put me to reality, and realizing.
Literally the most informative Mini 3 pro video. Subscribed!
thanks
Can’t wait to get the new one
This is the best review by far on mini drones. It was very interesting, absorbing, informative and humorous in places……thanks very much.
You got me when the inspire went up 🙃🤙🏽🤣
Oh man! The look on your face when the Inspire launched off the desk!
You’ve just sold me my next upgrade from my original mini to this mini 3 pro. Brilliant content. Subbed you and happy new year from the UK.
Another great video which helped me decide on which drone to purchase for my first ever. As I mentioned in one other video from this gentleman is that I’m approaching 74 and living alone and just wanted to get out more for a purpose that excites me to go out, especially as I live in a very picturesque area and there’s so many areas that I have wanted to explore, looking at ancient stone circles and derelict mine areas amongst so many more places, both historical and new. This truly gives me the ability and freedom to be able to do this and so much more, not to mention giving me an exciting new hobby to pursue and get me out! Not quite sure about the comment of him having no problems as he’s not old or confused; both of which I have to firmly tick each box, but still determined to start to save my money to be able to purchase this drone and pursue this really unique and exciting past time and I never know, be able to perhaps earn a few pence for lateral thinking work. Thank you for helping with the unticking of the ‘confused’ box. Haven’t figured the ‘old’ bit yet, but it will certainly make being old so much more fun.
Well mate, a quick thanks.
I have just decided to take advantage of the DJI end of financial year sale and get into drone photography.
I do a bit of still photography and used to work in TV back in the 80's.
Now with your recomendations (and others) I have bought a dji mini 3 Pro and RC controller with fly more pack and a set of ND polarizing filters.
can't wait till it arrives and I can get practising before our Outback Australia holiday later this year.
All I need now is information on the Editing packages around nowadays, it would be 15 years since I did Video editing.
That sound test had me “comiéndome las uñas” damnnnnn! Brave!
Awesome review, finally someone who focus on real results than raw specs. Thanks!
great review full of useful information. especially like the footage from near where i live too. i really appreciate the hard work you (and other reviewers) put into these reviews - many thanks - a joy to watch
Just brought one today. Solid little drone. Stunning camera. Had Parrot Bebop and anafi. Honestly think that Mini 3 got inspiration from the anafi, with regards front of drone. Stunning bird.
DJI owes you big time. After watching this video, I'm now buying my Mini 3 Pro. Thanks!
Nice review. I’m stoked for the upgrade!
Your channel is seriously underrated, the editing skills you got are excellent!
The sound tests are my favorite, as well as the reactions 🤣
Dude you absolutely killed me with the flights indoors! I'm dying x'D
Thanks for your presentation! I'm nearly convinced to buy one 😉
Much love
Matthias 👋
I like the way this guy covers this top..
brakes it down clean.
Bro, you had me rolling with the noise comparison of the other DJI drones. I did not expect the Inspire to be in the picture. I needed a good laugh. Thank you. Keep up the good work. Subbed
Launching the drones inside was too funny. LOL
Great video with very complete, unbiased, and clear review. I can understand why you are getting a high following that seem to be loyal to your channel! Good Job!
