The drone alone cost $669. It works with the regular controller that the Air2s came with (for those who already have one and want to save). But if you want the smart controller it’s almost 1k after taxes US
@@renderinghues it would have to be paired up with the same controller the Air2s comes with (IF you already have one). Other wise, you can buy the mini 3 Pro with the Smart RC controller. (Personally speaking, I think the Smart RC controller is good to have because using your cellphone has its issues, however, it’s much more expensive).
Pro level but in a tiny body. Brilliant improvements on camera and flight performance but staying portable and convenient. So far so good Mini 3 Pro!!!
Fuji beat me to it...the 8 bit footage is noticeable. You can still get passable footage and images for professional work, but the Air 2s wins that one. Although for the money, smart remote and some other features, the Mini 3 Pro is a VERY solid drone for the budding professional pilot. That smart remote and built in 1.3 GB of storage is a game changer. I'm getting into aerial photography and although I'm still early in the game and deciding which drone I really want to start with, I was looking at a neighbors roof because some roofers were trying to scam her into paying $7K to $24K for a new roof when it just needs to be cleaned. I explained roof cleaning, and went to look at her roof and as a nicety, I was going to photograph her roof from the air and look at her exhaust vents to see if they needed to be caulked. The first trip I used my ladder and cell phone for photos, but forgot I'd pulled my SD card and hadn't put it back, which is very rare for me. I went back a few days later to look inside her attic and took the drone again, only this time I had the remove, but I didn't have the cell phone to see what I was photographing, so that was a second wasted drone trip. If I'd had the Mini 3 Pro, that built in storage and all in one remote would have saved the day.
Nice that DJI isn't forcing over-sharpening of the image. The ideal would be an option for zero sharpening "in camera" so we can control it in post, of course.
I love my mini2, I use it for hiking, so I am definetly looking at this one, since it has the smart features and it could follow me when I do my stunts.
Thank God i waited to see what the MINI 3 can do This is exactly what i wanted A small lightweight 249g Drone that removes alot of the crazy restriction BUT without sacrificing a lot of the bigger drones specs 4K 60FPS should be the standard for any Drone in 2022, and glad to see they upgraded that along with flat colour profile and new lens always felt the Air 2s was a bit too expensive especially if you want the fly more combo Great review as always Would love a direct comparison to the Air 2S to see the speed difference, noise level, low light test, and overall feel of the drone etc etc
Flat colour profile without 8bit instead of 10bit, kinda ruins the whole thing for me. Probably better to just use the normal color profile and not mess with the colors in post to much
Here in Canada. I’m beyond excited for this drone! Being sub 250G’s is a huge deal over here due to not having to register this drone which comes with restrictions. I’m returning my Air 2S for this one already. Thanks for the video!
Did you know that this chinese company is giving the russian military software to help track the drones the ukrainians fly so they can kill them when they land the drones? So sorry to spam you with this but someone has to do it!
The second I saw the email from DJI, I immediately came here and right on queue, PotatoJet with his review!! Edit: Props to Kari as camera operator at 16:32
glad they finally gave the firmware update for 10 bit. my first drone and I waited a long time before buying. side sensors wouldve been a TKO but I get it. really fun and stable piece of kit
Love the DRT drone recovery tool, line throwing style! Mine is a long aluminium pole with flexible wire style tie down on the end! One time I just cut the tree down with a chainsaw
DJI Mini 3 Pro is a fantastic sub 250g drone. It's a crunched down version of the DJI AIR 2 Since i have an Air 2 and a Mini 2 i don't think it's worth upgrading just yet. I'm hoping they Sync the New RC controller that comes with Mini 3 with The Air 2 and the other DJI drones that i have. I really want the controller. The video was awesome. TY for sharing. Well done thumbs up👍
The dynamic range is the Achilles heel of the Mini 2. If the 3 is demonstrably better (rather than just on the spec sheet) I would probably upgrade. It’s the difference between OK footage and great footage.
How is everyone just glossing over that hilarious burp incident at 14:35 😂🤣😆 This is largely why I love this channel. Eugene is not afraid to make fun at his own expense to entertain while delivering great info.
So, I run the Autel Evo 2 Pro 6k V2, and I wouldn't trade it for any DJI drone, but I'd definitely add this Mini 3 Pro to my kit. It's pretty bangin' for such a tiny drone. Very impressed with it. The Mini from Autel has been around for quite a bit, hopefully we get a new one from them soon.
I wonder when they’ll have a firmware update to allow Air 2 and 2s to use that controller! That controller is everything! Especially because that SD card option to download the files directly on the controller so it’s not loading up your phone!
PLEASE try to pair that awesome O3 smart controller with an Air 2 / 2S and let us know. I would get one of these in a heartbeat if it worked with the older Air 2, and bonus...nice little mini with better camera. LoL. I seriously think DJI is missing out on not allowing the FPV goggles to work with the recent stuff (I also want to plug in HDMI digital FPV goggles to the USB C port and have it "share" the video for really bright days...PLEASE!!). Great review!
My thing is, I know that it has sensors on the front, but if you have it in active track and you’re moving towards the drone and the drone is flying backwards, how can it sense what is behind it won’t it run right into what ever is behind it ?
I hope to God the RC controller will be compatible with both the Mini 3 Pro and the Mavic 3! 🤞 Getting the Mini 3 Pro + RC controller is a waaaay better deal than buying the RC Pro on its own. And if there's anywhere the Mavic 3 can't go, the Mini 3 will have it covered 😎
Does the controller have an HDMI out? I can't find any details about the controller. I live stream events and would love to be able to throw in a drone shot into my switcher.
I understand that you too, like me, live in a place with high temperatures. I live in Sicily, Italy. Do you think this drone without any fan can heat especially in summer with external temperatures over 30/35 degrees centigrade? Thanks and best regards
This is what im considering also. For my first drone I was considering the Air 2s. Now im thinking about this one. I wish this camera on the mini zoomed in a little more.
Here earlier from the “2206 DJIv27” notification! 😉 The back room is scary, funny, but still scary! Ohh wow lol. 😂 I had no idea until the credits that you were flying the drone, which is smart because then no one else can feel guilty if you did get cut from the “interrogation”.
What about the screen on the remote control? Is it better, brighter than the screen on your phone? Also, on my phone I could text someone the photo. With the remote with a screen built in is there a way to get the photos other than taking them off the card in the drone?
@@stefandesu I did watch till the end like I always do 😉 I commented while I was watching the video. Not everyone watches till the end so a warning text during that part of the video would've been a good idea IMO.

Anyone know if the older DJI Smart Controller is compatible with the DJI Mini 3??
What about the Mini 2 controller? This is the question more people are asking.
Broo not the DJI backroom scene 😂😂😂

1:11 the level of creativity in this video, smashed that like button!
That strong wind/gusts test was impressive for something so light.
I was here when the title was "2206 DJI v27" lol
lol
Vertical camera for TikToks! I ordered one immediately. I’m such a sucker for these things.
This is the video I have been waiting for! Yes! Have a great day all!
Cool ,DJI has been in the game for sometime and is getting better and convinient with every update .
I love my mini2, I use it for hiking, so I am definetly looking at this one, since it has the smart features and it could follow me when I do my stunts.
I like how you wrap things up and get straight to the point. Fast and precise!
Anyone can verify if this is genuine?
Literally the only persons review I care about 😃
Thank God i waited to see what the MINI 3 can do
This is exactly what i wanted
A small lightweight 249g Drone that removes alot of the crazy restriction BUT without sacrificing a lot of the bigger drones specs
4K 60FPS should be the standard for any Drone in 2022, and glad to see they upgraded that along with flat colour profile and new lens
always felt the Air 2s was a bit too expensive especially if you want the fly more combo
Great review as always

I just got the notification that Dji released the new mini 3 and I went straight to your channel to see if you uploaded...... YAYYY
hahah same!
isaiah mustafa's offscreen persona is exactly what i imagined soley based on his commercials
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start giving us 10 bit on all the drones. That's all I want!
I just realized that's the old spice guy... the voice.. damn! it's nice to see him geeking out on this channel!
Potato Jet vids crack me up every time, this guy must be such good fun to spend some time with🤣
You are friends with the guy who used to be with Neve Campbell. Respect.
It was good seeing you in Pedro the other day. I was thinking about getting this drone. I still have a couple generations DJI back
You are close to a million bro. Hope you get there soon, can't wait!!

The dji back room made the whole video just that much better
Looks like they fixed everything I had complained about the mini 2. Sure looks amazing.
Love the DRT drone recovery tool, line throwing style! Mine is a long aluminium pole with flexible wire style tie down on the end!
One time I just cut the tree down with a chainsaw
Wow beautiful👍👍
quick, quick, quick, lets all go and get this new drone as we all need a new DJI drone.
Now I am using Mini 3 Pro RC drone to shot my beautiful country. I love it :)
Nice upgrade to lowlight shots. Ready to go from Mini 2 to Mini 3 Pro!
Lol, I saw that leak video came out and i was like nah, we gotta wait to hear from Potato Jet
5:54 that thing is so satisfying
Can you revisit the Sony fx6 I would like to see a updated review on what you think of it months later/year
"- Why you are in knees, and your drone just crush?" 😄. Beautiful review! Great and funny video!
I just got the Mini 2. I'm glad I didn't wait for this one. The features are great on the 3 Pro but the bump in price doesn't seem to be worth it.
don't agree im thinking about selling my mini 2 300 dollars more the specs on this
beast of a drone

Having occusync 03 like the Air 2S is worth it plus the extra flight features that the Mini 2 doesn't have.

Always excited to see my fav potatoe in my notification feed 🥰

This is largely why I love this channel. Eugene is not afraid to make fun at his own expense to entertain while delivering great info.
Tiny but definitely mightier this time. Hello Mini 3!!!
Maybe I missed this, but is the RC compatible with the Air 2S or anything? Thank you!
Loved that little bit you inserted lol that’s was great. Would love to see more :D
I heard they released an update making it 10bit video now too.
Love the kidnap scene mate very cool !
Quality intro with the backroom - really had skin in the game with this video 🤣
Should I get the controller with the screen? Or use my phone (IPhone 12) with the regular controller?
Just bought the dji mini 2... now I have to start saving up again
LMAO that back room scene was Hilarious.... Great review keep it up Bro..
Loved the dramatized capture scene!! More! More!!
I still have the DJI Mini 1 and it works great for me. Plus it's around $200 used.
And doesn't have half these features... Thanks for the comment though
best thing about this drone i wish my air2s had is the upward tilt gimbal
You should compare the image quality to the Mini 2
I read something in the DJI email about 48mp photos? is that after you stitch together a bunch of photos? Or what
Try the latest firmware update for the nano, it now has super wind resistant. It can now handle any dji mini drone in the wind , awesome job autel
ye i think so. And i think the video quality of nano+ is better !
@YuanGuoTec video also man, exactly
@@keytiger7 We will have to wait for the comparison to get a clearer idea. I only own the nano+
Gene you look like you’ve been working out man 👏
Isn't the upward tilt of the camera not already included in the Mini 1? Or did they just increase the amount of possible up-tilt?
11:50 Parrot Anafi owners punching the air right now
will the new controller be purchasble separately and compatible with other dji drones?
Man I like the hdr capabilitys in this tiny Drone. I have this still my Mini 1, worked a lot with the air 2s now. I love the 10 bit Videos
What camera did you bring into coachella as I know they have size restrictions, the footage looked great!
Thank you for sharing, Which remote control do you recommend for this Dji Mini 3 pro? RC SMART remont control or RC1 remote control.

HAHA THE DJI CHAMBERS OF DOOM
Just be thankful, that they didn't crash the Inspire or Matrice into you XD
how does the new skydio line compare to their dji counterparts?
Didn't plan on spending 1300 bucks when I woke up this morning, but here we are.
Damn DJI's back room! Hahaha love it!
also not the first to have internal storage, mavic 2 pro/zoom have 8GB internal

Drone footage is a little jittery. Is that to do with my monitor or the shutter speed that you recorded with? The timelapse was alright, though.

Thanks for your review. Lots of potential so might try it out.
I am using the DJI Rm500 Smart Controller with my Mini 2. Does the RM500 DJI Smart Controller work with the Mini 3?
Where do the sticks go on the controller if you take them off? In the Mini 2 controller they unscrewed, do they do that on the 3?
For a more decent video and not a just casual drone flying, would you suggest this one or the Air 2?
What about the screen on the remote control? Is it better, brighter than the screen on your phone? Also, on my phone I could text someone the photo. With the remote with a screen built in is there a way to get the photos other than taking them off the card in the drone?
Definitely want that controller separately to control my Mavic 2 pro
Could I fly this out 3 miles, then hit RTH,
then chase it with a FPV quad?
try to fly backwards 3 miles keeping the DJI in frame..
can you use this new smart controller as a screen for dji goggles like the original smart controller?
Way to survive the drone attack! Awesome video. :) 🎉
There’s some shimmering and one-frame glitching in the drone footage in this video. Is there a frame rate mismatch or is it a codec issue?
