Now that the @DJI Mini 3 and DJI Mini 3 Pro are out, the question of which one to choose is harder than ever. The drones are very similar, but is it worth spending more money on the pro? Let's put them head to head and find out.
Thanks to DJI for sending out the Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro!

My heart says Mini 3 Pro but my pocket appreciates there’s a DJI Mini 3!!!
Do not buy the mini 3 I already watched a ton of videos and I know that I shouldn't buy it
@@Mingzhe583why not I like mine
@@JB-dj1vn pro is always better just stop yelling at me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Mingzhe583 cost to value is massive that's why the mini 2 sold so well.
My life now ☹️
Quite important next to 10 bit D-Cinelike support is also the ability to lower sharpening and noise reduction to -2. With these settings the oversharpening, heavy noise, ghosting and chroma blotches are completely gone. Puts it into an entirely different league.
Great review, Matt. I started with the Mini 2. Bought the Mini 3 Pro 4 months ago. I think the extra $200 is well worth it. No matter which of the two anyone buys, I would recommend the new RC controller. After using the RC N1 with the Mini 2 and moving to the RC with the Mini 3 Pro, I entered an entirely new world. The new RC controller makes flying more convenient, and its features make flying A LOT more FUN. Cheers from Wisconsin.
Hey George. I agree with all your points. As a pro drone cinematographer I still use my Mini 2 on client shoots actually. As long as you get your exposure correct the 4k is great. The question of Mini 3 Pro or Standard really comes down to how painful is the extra few hundred bones. And I agree with you about the controller. Wow I didn’t think it would be THAT much better than using the smartphone as a screen, but yeah. Its much better and more convenient.
George what type of landscapes do you shoot?
@@TedNemeth Thanks for all your feedback. I shoot at city and county parks. Lakes, streams. Construction sites. City skylines-I have taken some good footage in Chicago. If it looks interesting, I will try to find a way to frame it. Cheers.
I totally agree with your points. That's what I did. I love the remote controller with my mini 3 Pro
I'm curious. Can you fly with video feed to the controller without any internet?
@@littleminion5433 yes. You always have a video feed to your controller, if it's a smart controller (recommended), or to your phone / tablet if not. No internet needed
just picked one up and I love it, especially the active track, great for simulated jib moves. Did have a question though. I read somewhere you need to shoot h.265 in order to get the 10bit profile into resolve. sounds kinda strange but thought id ask. have a great new year
This was so helpful! Thank you! I liked and subscribed!!!
Thanks for doing this review. I noticed that you render the top+bottom black bars into your video, rather than using a project resolution that matches your intended aspect ratio. When viewing with an ultrawide monitor, this makes the viewing experience worse where it could've actually been better than a standard 16:9 experience. I would recommend using a resolution that matches the "cinematic" aspect ratio you're going for. This won't impact 16:9 screen viewers (they'll still see the black bars on the top and bottom) and ultrawide viewers will be uniquely surprised at the viewing experience!
I just bought a mini 3 pro- I’ve only flown small cheap drones without collision avoidance so im pretty excited to get this thing out and get some great video.
Pro all the way. Always buy over spec not under. You don't want to regret it later on.
Awesome and thanks. I'm the photography flyer you refer to mid-way so this sealed the deal for me. I want something to compliment my Avata, which I love for close in flying where ducts save you vs sensors. That said, one thing I don't see covered much anywhere on all this DJI content is how actually good are all these sensors? No one I see talks about it except to mention from time to time when the downwards ones appear to get confused, especially, and not ideally, over water. Maybe that's a boring subject and maybe the sensors just work as people expect, but I'm curious how well that is and how much true protection they actually offer. And maybe boring questions like this is why I don't have a channel. :) Thanks again.
Great advice! Thanks! 👏👏Im going for the pro.
Thanks for all the info!
I enjoyed this comparison. Either way you’re going to get your money’s worth from both drones. DJI made sure we get a wide variety from their mini drones to suit our needs and budget!
Fantastic review! I’ve been debating on which to buy and this made the decision much easier. I’m going with the Pro. Thanks Matt!
Great Video, about buying my first drone and this video helped me deciding between the mini and the mini pro. Thanks !
Perfect comparison of the two units. If this doesn't completely help somebody make their decision, then there is a different problem.
Great video, I love the fact you are not implying which one is better... it depends and everyone should consider for themselves.
Great review. Thank you.
Great info, and great comparisons of the two options. I've pretty much decided on the Mini 3 Pro for a replacement for my beloved Spark, but your review definitely helps seal the deal. And your shots almost make me miss living in Utah. Almost.
Dan you still have a Spark?!?! That is cool as hell. I’m thinking of starting an additional UA-cam channel using ONLY a Spark. I want to show people how much MORE cinematography matters more than specs. I bet I could make content with a Spark as good as content from anyone else using like a full Mavic 3. That being said…..LOVE my Mini 3 Pro. You will be amazed by that thing!
Good comparison. I am glad that I have the Mini 3 Pro since July last year. Just uploaded a new video with some drone footage.
Now the price gap is bigger. On the DJI store the fly more combo with the built in screen controller is 818€ of the mini 3 vs 1188€ of the 3 Pro. 370€ difference right there makes it harder to chose the Pro version
This is, so far, the best video I've seen on this subject. In 1.5 minutes I saw exactly why I would choose the Mini Pro 3 over the Mini 3. Smoothness. If someone cannot see the difference in the smoothness of the Mini 3 Pro when it moves over the jitteriness of the Mini 3 when it moves then I suppose they can save themselves a little bit of money but I would have to have the smoothness of the Mini 3 pro for my own taste.
I really like your smoothness but there is little difference in those two even professional chap who use both those drones says but never mind let me explain your smoothness easier way , is like buying fiesta and fiesta ST line, same engine etc just sports look in at if you have extra to spend ? Spend it but you got have pretty same performance front the same engine
Just one word with this post, impressed!
What was the opening clip of you talking shot on? Looks really nice
Thanks for the review. Very nice winter videos. I chose the Mini 3 (haven't had a chance to fly yet), but keep going back and forth on whether I should have spent the extra $200 for the Pro. I suppose after I have been flying for a while, I'll figure this out.
I purchased the Mini 3 recently without the Pro 3 obstical sensors as I didn't want to rely on them and pilot the drone without stabiliser, but the Pro, does look better with capturing vids, pics and flexibility ~ Fly safe 👍
Same here man… I got the mini 3 fly more with RC for £400 and now Amazon have mini pro NC for £426! Don’t know if I should return the mini and get less for more?!
How about the difference between O2 and O3 ?
I feel like I and most beginners need, beside good drone flying skills, is good learning material about editing software to edit the colors post production. Since I'm a total beginner with video editing and color grading etc.
Hi, I have dji mavic air 2. Is the mini 3 pro a worthy upgrade? I dont care about weight and size.
if you can choose between the mini 3 pro with ncr1 vs the mini 3 with rc? which will be a better buy. $100 difference here
Thinking about buying my first drone. Not planning to ever monetize my drone video content. After watching this video, I thought about how social media compresses images uploaded to their servers and I’m not sure the extra $200 would be necessary to share a video clip of a morning sunrise or sunset. Thinking the Mini 3 would be a good fit for my personal use. However the additional sensors might help a beginner like me prolong a crash.
Here's the question I have. I have the DJI Mavic Mini 1 and I have been considering whether to up grade to the mini 3 or mini 3 pro. The jump between the 1 and any of the 3's, is it worth it is it worth the money to up grade or not?
Hopefully someone out there can answer that. Thanks.
Was the pro released before the mini 3? That seems very odd.
what SD card did u use? can mini 3 pro battery can be use in mini 3?
Excellent!
That's a shame that the mini 3 doesn't do D-cine, if it did it would be perfect. The lack of active track isn't the biggest deal but I personally may save and go for the pro for the extra features despite the markup
Hey hey. D-cine is not a true log profile. It doesn’t actually add much dynamic range at all. I’ve done full tests on it and it s more marketing than actual benefit.
at the moment m3 is 479€ and m3 pro is 839€... 360€ difference, im thinking about getting the mini 3 for me
I feel like the sensors are overhyped, given that side sensors and above sensors are what are needed to avoid most crashes… neither of which the pro has.
Man I’m on my mavic mini and I’m still learning how to edit and fly and stuff but once I master the mini I want to get the mini 3 or pro !
Another small thing that is missing from the mini 3 to mini 3 pro is the support legs. Not sure why they didnt give the mini 3 pro that. Maybe to maintain weight? Who knows. Planning to get the mini 3 pro though!
how much ilk buy
Hey, Matt. Liked and subscribed. BTW, what about DJI's RC? Worth the $ and does it provide signiicant advantages over using, say, an iPhone 11?
Thanks! And yes, it's absolutely worth the money. One big reason because the screen will stay bright, and the iPhone often overheats and dims.
You have a great voice! Production is goo too. Cheers - CB
I have the OG mini and upgrading for both personal and professional work . Sure would love to have the 4/3 sensor or 1 inch sensor in the bigger ones but one cost alot more and i dont think the difference is Huge btw 1 inch sensor and the m3 pros so the Benefit with a sub 250 gram drone is more important
What’s it like without any weight ?wonder how that feels and shit never done it
Bugger! Very good comparison, but it is now making my decision far harder. I do a lot of waterfall and mountains videos, with some risky flying in strong or unpredictable wind. Just lost my Mini2 two weeks ago filming waterfall in a wind (I know I shouldn't, but it looked so cool I couldn't resist), and already put Mini3 into the basket, thinking that with risky flying it is better to go with cheaper option. And I was like 99% sure I'm buying it today but then I saw your video and what difference D-Cinelike makes. It looks like a different league. It is killing me now as $200 makes a big difference for a hobby 😁😁.
But wouldn't the extra obstacle avoidance sensors make it worth the upgrade too? That way you're less likely to crash the drone, ultimately saving you money in the long run
Does mini 3 and mini 3 pro propper are same ??
Every other video I've watched includes a "Paid Promotion". Although they never mention anything... it's from DJI. Bless up Matty, solid vid
good video, but I still don't know what should I not do!
Thanks for the thorough reviews. The Mini 3 Pro is on my list for 2023 as my kids bought me my first drone for Xmas 2022, a CONTIXO F24 Pro. I am HOOKED!
What software do you recommend for editing. Have never used film editing software.
DaVinci Resolve. But you need some Tutorial videos
i miss the obstacle detection but other than that the non pro is great for the price
Active track was the reason I bought the mini 3 pro so I don't regret my decision now that the mini 3 is available.
Is this drone good for shooting music videos?
Awesome review!
Nice video. Will stick to my trusty old mini2 for now
Mate I LOVE my Mini 2! I still use it on pro shoots all the time. I even made a love letter episode dedicated to it! I checked out your channel. Beautiful shots you got. Cheers
@@TedNemeth Nice. It's such a versatile drone for sure. And thank you for the kind words :)I try to learn from each flight and editing sessions and of course looking at tutorials. My channel needs a lot more love haha but struggle to find time.
The dji mini 1 and 2 had such a sleek look, they looked small but packed a punch, the new dji mini 3 is amazing and has a lot of features but personally it kind of downgraded in the aesthetic department, not like this even matters since its a drone, its just a pet peeve i guess
Like the review was wondering if the mini 2 batteries work with the mini 3
No
Mini 3 Pro share the same batteries 🔋 with the new mini 3
No. New design.
Such a hard decision , pay 900+ for pro or like 460 for mini 3 at Costco🤣 I think it’s hard to justify the 900 when u can get the mini 3 for half rn on sale … but I do need that 4k60😪😪😪
They’re on sale at Costco for $350 right now bud. Go snatch one up.
@@332nik mini 3 pro
@@332nik ?
5:02 is your camera ok? 😃
well if those sensors guarantee no crash its worth the price, but in real world it boils down to the pilot's carefullnes or the lack thereoff
is the 48 Mega Pix really 48 Mega Pix ? Most of the time looking at the specs of both drones, looks like the are the same and its only a marketing gimmick bumped up to 48 Mega Pix by the software :(
Informative video. I think if you simply want to fly a good drone, save yourself hundreds and just get a mini se, or mini 2. There all good drones.
how about the difference in flight time? mini 3 has a lot more than the pro from what i hear
I'm super happy with my Mini 3 pro !!
I have had both and i do not think the pro is worth the extra money unless you are using it professionally, also if you have a n1 controller that you can connect to and use litchi then you have tracking ect the same as the pro, but they are both great drones it all boils down to do you need avoidance and high frame rates or are you just flying for fun and making videos for yourself.
Nice
For the price difference, it's a no-brainer. Even if you think you won't use some of the gimmicks, the cameras and sensors are so different that it's more likely anyone will end up regretting saving £/$200. I bought a Mini 3 as a backup to my Pro, but quickly decided it wasn't going to work. If the difference is noticeable then it's not a good substitute.
I have a Mini2, I think I'll treat it like I do my cell phones and upgrade when the next generation comes out
Mini 4 pro would be the play
@@DoomToshi exactly
the sensors on my mini 3 pro have saved me several times.
I will go with PRO! :)
Thank you.
I've heard and seen the mini 3 pro has horrible range and the non pro got it right. Nobody on here had done a range test with the non pro yet.. I want to know if this is true. I already will not buy the pro but the non pro I might if I can drag it out way out there
So is it true? I'm wondering the same thing
I bought a DJI mini 3 combo RC for 674 EUR. for the Pro version I need to pay 450 EUR more. Big difference
I think the difference now is more like double the price. Makes the choice more difficult.
Come on.
How could you leave this discussion in the air like that.
The Mini 3 Pro and Mini 3 are Polars apart.
Mini 3 Pro:-
Better Camera Quality.
Obstacle Avoidance.
Portrait and Landscape camera options.
Active Track etc.
For a few hundred pounds or dollars more!
The outright winner is Clearly the M3P.
It's a No Brainer.
If you’re easily distracted, don’t stick with anything longer than a few months, and not willing to put in really any effort at all into learning anything, then you shouldn’t buy a drone in the first place but if you think you’re a little better than that but you really need that $200 to spend on 18 more cases Some rotgut, bottom shelf beer, and then you’ll lose interest and not wanna fly anymore then buy the mini three.
different shots you should take the same for comparison of these drones
Everyone is saying its a 200$ difference...I was able to get the Mini 3 for $370, 400 after tax, at Costco. CHEAPEST Mini 3 pro I can find is $699, 760ish after tax. Granted it comes 3 batteries and tri battery charger, and is the FAR better deal, but I would need to pay almost double to get into that one. Unfortunately ill have to stick the the Mini 3 :(
Why did you have a thumbnail displaying prop storage, but never talk about it?
But I did it!😅 Upgraded my Mini 2 to Mini 3. Best decision ever!
I returned mine it couldn’t handle sight winds 😂😂
The footage of the mini 3 looked better then the mini 3 pro
Both cameras are identicle so in normal modes (not hyperlapse for example) any difference is down to settings and shooting angles/weather/lighting.
he graded the shot so its more of a choice he made as opposed to what "looks good". I would much rather have the option to not have the color burned in. also if one was shot in 8 bit VS 10
By accident, not on accident
I am waiting for the iPhone 15 drone adaptor . It will cost more , do less, not be damp,proof, and go obsolete every year. But....Apple.
Those shots on the Mini 3 are really overxposed. It´s a pitty that videos like this always have the tendency to make the more expensive looks better. Which in reality it´s not the case. The mini 3 has exactly the same image quality and sometimes even better than the Mini 3 Pro in standard colour profile.
I think it on paper is worth the difference. But the problem is it’s the same drone physically so at the same time it makes it hard to justify if you want to save money.
Same exact camera on both drones but the pro with sensors for the newbies to help them not fly into stuff. I'd say the mini 3 if you can fly it without crashing is the way to go. The money saved could go towards the flymore kit or dji refresh.
I need 3pro in order to shoot vertical mode, RIP wallet
Great info. I also newbie with this mini3pro. I post few video about it. Can u guys comment n give some suggestion? Tq
I crashed my mini 2 few times, he is still alive!
Great review. Given the relatively significant additional features of the pro, an extra $200 seems like a no-brainer bargain!
This was totally bias toward the 3 pro. When you look at the ENTRY concept of Mini 2 vs Mini 3, The 2 is the winner.
why's that?
Why? But the better aperture and sensor+HDR on mini 3 blew the mini 2
Is it just me or the artifacts in the footage are atrocious? Even in the Mini Pro. This is not great quality image. Is that due to the bitrate? Can it improve?
i think mini 3 pro looked better
Haii
I hate that DJI included vertical filming. We should be punishing that format, not promoting it.
I waited for the mini pro 3 because of the sensors. So far so good have to get to trust the return home feature.
Just like to point out to the European viewers that might be watching is YOU DO HAVE TO REGISTER THESE DRONES for an Op ID but you don't need a Flyer ID for recreational use. This applies under the EU EASA and UK CAA regulations.
Slave rules.
Just buy and fly shit
Don’t do it
Don’t do it
Both drones videos stuttered terribly
Never ever ever doit like never ever
What a clickbate....
sort your microphone out it's terrible .. fur muffler ..
Save the $200. If you have a problem crashing these dji drones, maybe stick to cheap $20 Chinese drones. Lmao
