Video tutorials do not come any better than this amazing video! Nothing flashy and showy. Just clear and concise information. I cannot thank you enough! Keep up the great work!
They are also valuable as inspection tools. During building inspections, I use drones for a close look at roofs and higher stories. I am upgrading to this drone after using the first generation Minis for about three years, which served me well. Notable improvements for me are the camera resolution and zoom feature so that I don't have to fly as close to the building and the remote controller so that I'm not fighting a dimming phone screen when it gets hot.
Funnily enough, I bought this drone to inspect my roof and gutters. But after doing that like twice, I haven't even looked at my roof since. I've been flying around the pond in the back of the house chasing the geese then visit the telephone tower in the distance. It's an incredible tool to explore your surrounding.
Just bought a mini se to use on my UA-cam channel. I’m currently at the ‘really nervous I’ll never see it again’ stage when I fly at the moment but I find your content a massive help. Brilliant channel.
Buying my first drone and trying to make a decent decision. This helped me to pick the Mini 3 as my start point. Not terribly expensive, but I would have hated to waste money on a "bad" cheaper choice. I just wanted a usable drone (not a toy) . Best Buy delivers it tomorrow. This video, great stuff
Mine is on the way. My first drone, so the specs weren't much of a deterrent, but the RC cam, quietness and speed coupled with a great price point for my budget were all intriguing reasons for me to choose the DJI mini 3 over the pro and Mavic.
Basic and straight to the point. Saying your full opinion about it and against the other models. great video matey well done :) it's been so long since i've flown. i had a dji phantom 2.. 2013 oh wowza.. :(
New to drones...just bought the DJI Mini 3. Reading the manual now and charging the batteries. I was very encouraged by your review. Many thanks. Cheers.
It looks like an excellent drone. Now, even if it is marketed as budget friendly still it is not cheap for most of us out there. Considering this, deciding which one you are going to buy you have to be sure that this little machine is going to meet your expectations.
Bro most big-screen TVs are more expensive than this. This is damn cheap for a drone… think about the technology you are using, this wasn’t even possible 20 years ago
@@BigSplenda1885yeah, but he is going to use a the TV 6 out 7 days a week, he maybe wants the drone for vacation or going hiking he might use the drone 3 to 4 times a year. You are getting the value of the TV not out of the Drone. i know what he ment
A key advantage for the Mini 3 over the 2SE is the increased range of “upwards” camera angle tilt to the gimbal range giving you the advantage to create some interesting panning effects. Also the SDK has just been opened up by DJI for the Mini 3 and the third party sw vendors led are already releasing updates to include the Mini 3 in their device compatibility lists. That’s a big 👍as well.
I decided a few days ago that I would finally get a drone for myself and while looking at the options, I hit upon the DJI mini3!! However, I wasn't sure if it would be a smart purchase, but thanks to your video, I'm really going to buy it and also a proper remote control, because now I understand the difference between them. Thanks so much for the video, it really helped me decide!!
Been looking at drones for a while this could be the one, shame about the sensor size and the lack of follow me feature, thanks for sharing Mark, Have a great New Year.
How awesome you filmed this in a frozen environment. In the Netherlands we used a pro drone to record skating on natural ice. Amazing footage thanks to DJI! By the way this was the same cold period that made our landscapes look wonferful. I liked your video, very informative! Subscribed!
The video was very helpful, thank you. My Mini 3 just arrived. I unboxed and found I was missing items from the order: Mini 3 Fly More combo (props, screws, driver). I took the liberty of reading the literature and now find out I need to order a Micro-SD card and a power supply for charging the RC and a charger for the batteries. I ordered a USB/USB-C combo. Another setback. These hurdles seem minor, they are. But as a new operator to the world of drones, the website should indicate that you can't operate any of the equipment until you purchase the items listed above.
As a solo motorbike traveller I love active track/focus track. Had a P4P when they first came out, what a bit of kit that was…..but pretty impossible to fly abroad with so went for the mini when it came out. Still love the mini but would love the pro for tracking purposes. Nice review.
Obstacle avoidance is not that big of a deal, unless they somehow manage to get you sensors on the sides. Flying sideways is the most risky practice when it comes to collision anyway.
I bought the drone after watching this vid. I must say, though, you have the most ridiculously beautiful areas to film, I know my shots won't even come close because of how idyllic your locale is.
Enjoyed this review. I did my research and ended up ordering a Mini 3 prior to seeing this video and had a lot of second guesses after the fact. This review gives me a boost of confidence in my purchase.
Nice review Mark! I have a brand new Mini 3 and a 2-years-old Air 2, they work just the way you explain. The Mini 3 is almost soundless! Best regards from Argentina!
hey silly question, so I don't really know anything about drones, my question is am I able to check cows a mile away with it? I broke a leg a week ago and trying to get up and go check them twice a day is rough, so I was wondering if I am able to take off from the porch and fly it over the fields using the camera to check/ count them? again sorry stupid question I just don't honestly know how they work.
Nice video Mark! I was getting really into the Mini 3 up until the point when I saw the 12MP stills, that's just an absolute bummer... I'm considering swapping my Mavic 2 Pro for a Mini 3 Pro.
@@rogerhalt3991 My main reason for wanting to swap it is weight. I notice myself not taking my drone cause it's too heavy together with all the other camera gear.
This is a really good review. Especially the sound difference. I had my heart set on the mini 2 for my son for Christmas. But it's worth the price difference to jump to the mini 3. He does a lot of YT shorts so this is a worthy upgrade.
@@GHExploration definitely a budget drone spend anything less than 300 then it is just a cheap toy and this drone refurbished is 400 and you get insanely good video quality
The scenery is spectacular, especially the dusk and evening shots. The mini 2 has just dropped where I am, but this looks a good choice for my 1st drone.
Tks for this video, you made me want to fly again. Have flown S900, F450, F550 and Phantom 3pro. Stop flying for a couple years! I will try this amazing little drone shortly.
I'm definitely contemplating getting one mainly for the controller having a pre built screen. No more losing the use of your phone because it's hooked up to your drone it just makes sense. Can't wait to get some shots on dartmoor and Scotland when I visit family
Bought an original mini a while back and definitely enjoying it. Don't have the funds to afford the new ones but I've still made some cool videos with it.
Great video. I love my mini 2 and Air 2 s. I'm just waiting for the mini series to get 20 + mp and 120 FPS. That will be my next mini. May never happen, but look at phone cameras.
main thing i want to know about is the reception. i have an old phantom 3 pro, connection is flawless and even when not in line of site. i then got the mavic air, the reception as soon as its out of site is absolutely terrible!! constant disconnects. how is this one?
I just received mine and the first 2 things I noticed is it is QUIET and because of its light weight it is nimble, I like it! I have a mini 2 that I like but I really wanted the RC controller for the built in screen.
Mark awsome video ! Just started following you. I’m want to buy my first my Drone but don’t know where to begin. Of course I want 4K and I would also love to have night vision. Can you suggest and drones, thanks
Great review! Thanks for clear explanation between this and the pro version. I think i will go with the pro but still think the mini 3 is very, very good.
Own a phantom 3 Special Edition and have been on the fence about getting either the Mini 2 or 3. Definitely leaning towards the 3 after this video, what a deal!
@@chrisgarret3285 iam sure its great, i definitely want to try avata at some point so better value was mini 2 for now..Especially since was not going to buy the pro controller
@@TheMiloking true. I needed the controller though as the Phantom 3 SE one is different. I will say I'm hugely disappointed in Litchi VR app though (or DJI). The Mini 3 Pro and the 3 are the only two DJI drones not supported by Litchi for VR due to some software compatibility issue. Mini 2 is supported... Don't know what I'll do for VR.
Another key advantage for the Mini 3 base over the Mini 3 Pro - that surprisingly no one talks about - is that while Mini 3 Pro overheats when not flying, the mini 3 base does not!
As a photographer here is what I would have liked and don't need I mainly use a drone for real estate and pleasure landscapes. Just my opinion. Obstacle avoidance, not necessary pay attention to your surroundings. 12mp vs 48mp for stills, it's still a small sensor so for me I do stills for real estate, I don't need to crop much. I would have liked 4K 60fps, but the 4K HDR is great feature. Tracking, this would have been nice. I love the extra flight time, small size and ease of use. The colors in video a outstanding and vibrant. Overall, sure the mini 3 pro has a bit more, but for the extra cost I would have upgraded to a newer Mavic. Get the Mini 3 and don't look back, as I write this Costco has them on sale with a bundle kit with a 64gb micro sd card and ND filter kit.
Great video I'm just waiting for my mini 3 flymore to arrive. I sold my mini 3 Pro a couple of weeks ago and missed it. Dji then released this little beast. For me sensors were not needed. I purchased the mini 3 with dji rc and flymore kit for 678 too .. mind blowing I couldn't say no.
It’s not a drone man myself but if I was I would be convinced to buy one very good to talk with you as always thanks very much Mark much appreciated keep up the good work❤
THANKS! Very Helpful video 🙂 I've had my Mavic Mini for 3/4 years. I often get the 'itch' to upgrade but never the need. Although I do miss being able to track objects. Perhaps I'll take a look at the 3 Pro before deciding it's not needed this time!! He he
i'm still rocking the mavic mini 1 too, excellent little drone, serves its purpose so well, yeah it might not have all the bells and whistles newer drones have but shooting at 2.7k and getting those shots in the first place is more than enough for me as a casual user of the drone. Couldn't see myself upgrading until maybe the mini 5 or something when it will be and well truly worthy upgrade. Sticking with this for now.
I just had to order the mini 3 because my mini 2 4k was stolen out of my car . I wanted to get another mini2 but DJI discontinued the sale of the mini 2 4k in US and Canada. They only sell the 2.7k mini2 SE here now. Soo I went with the upgrade and ordered the mini 3 hoping it is indeed an improvement of the mini 2 considering I use it for work and picture quality is important. Your video certainly eased my decision in going with the mini 3 after the fact.
Hi bro I just came across your channel you've inspired me to get mini 3 drone today 28/08/2023 I was looking for a mini drone that can enhance my aerial photography skill. Welbeck here from Accra Ghana west Africa I've subscribe to your channel too Stay blessed and safe all the time Amen. Keep it up high.
I don’t own a drone currently and had not considered one until a photo friend told me how much fun he was having with his and he showed me some shots he had taken with it. Your video was very helpful to tell me more about it. I must say I am intrigued.
Just got mine for £339 including extras. Mainly using it for photography so not fussed about the extra features on the pro . Great vid 👍 Also worth noting the firmware update allows for 48mp shooting too
I recently crashed my Mini 2, damage estimate is around £200 to £300 for repairing it. Currently trying to debate whether or not to repair or upgrade. Mini 3 Pro extra sensors probably wouldn't have saved me in this crash so don't think I need them, but the Mini 3 camera being not much more of an improvement over the Mini 2 in terms of the sensor being 12mp, has me wondering if it's worth the upgrade to the Mini 3 from the Mini 2
I agree completely. I own a Fleet of Camera Drones, including the Mavic 3, and I end up using my Mini 3 more than any of them. It brings all of the portability that the Mini Series offers, but, it still flies/performs like one of the larger, more advanced Units. You’re right about the Flight Times, as well, EXCEPT, that you forgot to mention the “Plus” Model Intelligent Flight Batteries, and, the exceptional Flight Times that they bring to the Mini 3! Under normal Flight Conditions, I’m getting 47-50 minute Flights, regularly! I’m amazed! Great little Drone, in my opinion. 💯
@@MasterIceyy Yes, some Drones offer a Zoom Function. It, mainly, depends on which Make\Model you're interested in. Most DJI Drones offer Digital Zoom Function in Video Mode, but, not in Photo Mode (mostly because you can always "zoom" in post-production\editing, afterward. DJI's Mini Series offers Zoom Function, in Photo Mode, on most of it's Sub-249 gram line-up. DJI's Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Cine, and, Mavic 3 Pro all have additional Sensors that provide specialized Zoom Functions, as well. Hope any of this helps.
Hi Mark, Your preset pack looks great but would it design for LR only, or would it be any possibility to alter to use in Affinity Photo or On1 Photo Raw that I switch years ago. Thank you.
Interesting you picked up on it being quiet, that's a real draw for me...

Yep I was hoping for atleast double the zoom capabilities of the mini 2. Seeing as the mini 3 and the pro have the exact camera and zoom functions I might aswell just grab the mini 3 base model. And tbh I wouldn't even be I interested in the mini 3 at all since I have the mini 2 but damn that flight time with the extended battery 😮.

Another key advantage for the Mini 3 base over the Mini 3 Pro - that surprisingly no one talks about - is that while Mini 3 Pro overheats when not flying, the mini 3 base does not!
Only real important substantial otherwise difference is 100mbps on mini3 and 150mbps bitrate on pro mini3.
@@Roboticdoughbull3kyet to see side by side footage to demonstrate the difference.
As a photographer here is what I would have liked and don't need I mainly use a drone for real estate and pleasure landscapes. Just my opinion. Obstacle avoidance, not necessary pay attention to your surroundings. 12mp vs 48mp for stills, it's still a small sensor so for me I do stills for real estate, I don't need to crop much. I would have liked 4K 60fps, but the 4K HDR is great feature. Tracking, this would have been nice. I love the extra flight time, small size and ease of use. The colors in video a outstanding and vibrant. Overall, sure the mini 3 pro has a bit more, but for the extra cost I would have upgraded to a newer Mavic. Get the Mini 3 and don't look back, as I write this Costco has them on sale with a bundle kit with a 64gb micro sd card and ND filter kit.
Great video I'm just waiting for my mini 3 flymore to arrive. I sold my mini 3 Pro a couple of weeks ago and missed it. Dji then released this little beast. For me sensors were not needed. I purchased the mini 3 with dji rc and flymore kit for 678 too .. mind blowing I couldn't say no.
Bonjour, où l'a tu acheté pour 678. Merci

This is a great review, thank you. My boyfriend is wanting a drone and I don’t know much about them to choose from. Thank you it was really helpful
It’s not a drone man myself but if I was I would be convinced to buy one very good to talk with you as always thanks very much Mark much appreciated keep up the good work❤
Fun fact, this video is actually so good. I’ve seen it pirated on TikTok trying to sell knock off drones. You know at least snippets of it
THANKS! Very Helpful video 🙂
I've had my Mavic Mini for 3/4 years. I often get the 'itch' to upgrade but never the need. Although I do miss being able to track objects. Perhaps I'll take a look at the 3 Pro before deciding it's not needed this time!! He he
i'm still rocking the mavic mini 1 too, excellent little drone, serves its purpose so well, yeah it might not have all the bells and whistles newer drones have but shooting at 2.7k and getting those shots in the first place is more than enough for me as a casual user of the drone. Couldn't see myself upgrading until maybe the mini 5 or something when it will be and well truly worthy upgrade. Sticking with this for now.
@@mac8669 Agree!!!
Great video! I was going to go for this one, but I can't believe there is no Active Track! Will have to go for the Pro now...
I just had to order the mini 3 because my mini 2 4k was stolen out of my car . I wanted to get another mini2 but DJI discontinued the sale of the mini 2 4k in US and Canada. They only sell the 2.7k mini2 SE here now. Soo I went with the upgrade and ordered the mini 3 hoping it is indeed an improvement of the mini 2 considering I use it for work and picture quality is important. Your video certainly eased my decision in going with the mini 3 after the fact.
I would add dronizzer.
What's that?
@@blackterminal A lesser known drone brand, probably for a reason. Who knows though.
Never heard of em.
There's only 4 worth mentioning... dji autel hubsan and fimi.... and hubsan and fimi are pretty bad now
@@Matanumi I'd add deerc
what’s that💀
With our doubt I will upgrade my mini to the min 3 pro, its worth the extra cash and does everything. Great review subbed you and thanks
I just ordered my mini 3. It's my first drone and I pray I can make it fly
@erikservin3162 I just got it for 429 then like an hour later the price went up to 719
Nice, just bought the DJI mini 3 pro RC n1 £599 new can't wait to use it over Christmas 🔥👌
Where from please?
@@spatialpro carmarthencamers, 19 in stock ordered mine it come next day delivery 👌
Thanks for the tip! Just bought one too from there. Hopefully they don’t use Royal Mail
@@gakvin98 cool, DPD mine come with best price on line 👌.
Hi bro I just came across your channel you've inspired me to get mini 3 drone today 28/08/2023
I was looking for a mini drone that can enhance my aerial photography skill.
Welbeck here from Accra Ghana west Africa
I've subscribe to your channel too
Stay blessed and safe all the time Amen.
Keep it up high.
Thank you. Welcome to the channel, thanks for the sub and have fun fying!
I don’t own a drone currently and had not considered one until a photo friend told me how much fun he was having with his and he showed me some shots he had taken with it. Your video was very helpful to tell me more about it. I must say I am intrigued.
Just got mine for £339 including extras. Mainly using it for photography so not fussed about the extra features on the pro . Great vid 👍
Also worth noting the firmware update allows for 48mp shooting too
I recently crashed my Mini 2, damage estimate is around £200 to £300 for repairing it. Currently trying to debate whether or not to repair or upgrade. Mini 3 Pro extra sensors probably wouldn't have saved me in this crash so don't think I need them, but the Mini 3 camera being not much more of an improvement over the Mini 2 in terms of the sensor being 12mp, has me wondering if it's worth the upgrade to the Mini 3 from the Mini 2
Go for the pro man. Its hella impressive🔥🔥
Jus buy the mini 3 there’s like little differences for the pro but idk if it’s worth 200 more
I agree completely.
I own a Fleet of Camera Drones, including the Mavic 3, and I end up using my Mini 3 more than any of them.
It brings all of the portability that the Mini Series offers, but, it still flies/performs like one of the larger, more advanced Units.
You’re right about the Flight Times, as well, EXCEPT, that you forgot to mention the “Plus” Model Intelligent Flight Batteries, and, the exceptional Flight Times that they bring to the Mini 3!
Under normal Flight Conditions, I’m getting 47-50 minute Flights, regularly! I’m amazed!
Great little Drone, in my opinion. 💯
Most people never show it but can drone cameras zoom in?
@@MasterIceyy Yes, some Drones offer a Zoom Function. It, mainly, depends on which Make\Model you're interested in.
Most DJI Drones offer Digital Zoom Function in Video Mode, but, not in Photo Mode (mostly because you can always "zoom" in post-production\editing, afterward.
DJI's Mini Series offers Zoom Function, in Photo Mode, on most of it's Sub-249 gram line-up.
DJI's Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Cine, and, Mavic 3 Pro all have additional Sensors that provide specialized Zoom Functions, as well.
Hope any of this helps.
Hi Mark, Your preset pack looks great but would it design for LR only, or would it be any possibility to alter to use in Affinity Photo or On1 Photo Raw that I switch years ago. Thank you.
Just purchased one. Thanks for the info great review 10/10
Interesting you picked up on it being quiet, that's a real draw for me... Personally find it really annoying when you're trying to enjoy a view somewhere and there's a drone flying round sounding like a swarm of angry wasps, so being quiet would mean I'd feel happy flying it more places (as well as the
Just picked this up with the rc controller fly more pack on a black Friday deal from very, was £499, and I signed up for a very account and got another 20% off, so it all cost me £400.00. Amazing bargain. Can't wait for it to arrive 😊😊😊
Agreed. Literally the only feature I wanted in the pro was left out; the zoom capability.
Wait the pro doesn't have zoom?
@GamerMarine89 it has up to 2x zoom and the quality at that point isn't great. But it's there
Yep I was hoping for atleast double the zoom capabilities of the mini 2. Seeing as the mini 3 and the pro have the exact camera and zoom functions I might aswell just grab the mini 3 base model. And tbh I wouldn't even be I interested in the mini 3 at all since I have the mini 2 but damn that flight time with the extended battery 😮.
