My Drone Cinematography MasterClass is FINISHED!
Hey Drone Gang! Well…..this was fun as all hell.
In this episode I give a pretty brutally honest review of the top 3 features of the DJI Mini 3 Pro: obstacle avoidance, D-CineLike color profile & the active track modes, but in the end….this little flying camera is a creation machine I don’t think I’ll ever part with.
I’m leaving soon for a 1 year adventure across India so having a highly capable SUPER COMPACT flying camera is my most prized possession, along with my drum sticks & flask.
[wicked grin.]
The Mini 3 is my tool of choice for this challenge.

“Creativity is not the motivation of action, creativity is the result of action.” - WADE DAVIS. ….this quote is truly one of the most meaningful statements to me. Trying to generate a full time income on UA-cam is an interesting endeavor. Having to ALWAYS be creative AND productive. Many times I’m not feeling creative, so I won’t take action. But that statement by my mentor Wade Davis says: action is the turnkey ingredient, NOT creativity. That was the opposite of my thinking, conventional thinking. Feeling creative or not, …..always be working on your craft: experiment, be playful, ignore results, collaborate, reinterpret, ….anything…but JUST KEEP MOVING. Thank you Wade.
Great stuff Ted! Thanks.
Happy Anniversary to both of you!
Adapt , Improvise and Overcome, love your style!!!
You're the Bob Ross of video editing :) Love your happy go lucky nature of both commentary and video editing. 100% correct regarding the use of Normal vs D-CineLike, the later is ONLY useful in very low light situations and even then it's marginal. Tracking for moving sucks but if you lock onto the ground or a larger still object you can get decent freestyle tracking. Quick shots is fairly useful for most things though. Obstacle avoidance in active track does work for down, forward, & backwards. It's usually a hinderence though if you are aware of your environment and it will block a lot of great shots when in close proximity to a subject.
Fabulous Ted! Congratulations! 👍👍
Fantastic! Thanks to my friend for sharing the video.😃
This was all GOLD ADVICE. But I gotta tell you Ted…. And this may go unnoticed by others, but that was very creative using 2 drones at the same time go get that last shot. Very cool.
you caught that! thanks. was fun. Not the smartest thing to try over water.
Start to finish, absolutely spot on, Ted. I turned my sensors off the day I bought it. Reckon it made me a better pilot too, not being reliant on them.
Recently discovered your channel and already learned so much! Thanks man.
super cool man. Welcome aboard to our FLYING CAMERA CREW. We have fun here.
Bravo, my friend !!
Ted!!! Just came across your vids as I've just purchased the Mini 4 Pro - you're epic mate, love the humour and education - As I've just come across your channel, I've pretty much binge watched your vids - looking forward to the next one, keep up the awesome work mate!
Paul welcome aboard my friend. Wow you are talented with a camera. Loved your astro photography episode.
Thank you for the great advice and information
I love the piano work at the 1:45 mark
Keith
Another great informative video Ted. Looking forward to your upcoming documentary.
ted you are a gem make so much sense keep them coming
hey Roger! thank you my flying filmmaker friend.
Very nice. I just picked up the mini 3 pro couple weeks ago and loving it so far.
Love your videos and cinematography! I’ve learned so much from your channel, not just about drones but about life and enjoying every moment no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. keep doing what you’re doing! You are like a Zen Master bringing people back to the simplicity’s of life!
hey Richie. Wow I am super grateful for your comment. I’m having fun creating these style videos; i think I’m kinda settling into my style? My skills need to improve vastly, but just enjoying the ride.
Welcome to the FLYING CAMERA CREW.
Ditto Ted!!!
Love your videos Ted, so informative and your experience is something I really appreciate listening to, thanks for making these videos. Your humour is spot on, always gives me a good laugh too. Keep up the great work!
ha right on Matthew. I appreciate the support brother. If there’s any specific topic you’d like me to cover in an upcoming episode please let me know.
Can’t argue with any of your points Ted. Obstacle avoidance is not a tool I rely on for the most part. What I love is the low noise of the drone and it’s form factor. So easy to throw in a back pack! Thanks for the great content and inspiration always sir!
you nailed it. I love how quiet and compact this little gal is.
Nice sir..thanks for sharing
Thanks TED
hey buddy. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I truly appreciate it. Is there any topic you’d like me to cover in an upcoming episode?
lol.. great video, brother.. I love your funny one liner type stuff.. the one about clicking join so you can provide content and no t having to sell filters was hilarious!! lol
Great Video Ted!
thank you my flying filmmaker friend.
Absolutely ❤ this episode Ted. Great comparison of d-cinie and normal. We've spoke about this in the past, normal all the way
ah man I appreciate all your kind words my friend.
Ted Very cool! I love your interesting and informative videos! Thank you for your hard work and good luck in the future!
Thank you sir. I appreciate your kind words.
Ive had the mini 3 pro for about 4 months now, having upgraded from the mini1, then 2. I love it and don't feel the need for any further upgrading. It has slightly longer arms and maybe that's why it feels like a more solid, stable pro style drone when in flight, and yes, the controller is wonderful.
Dave congrats on the M3P. You are totally right…it does feel more solid, like a much bigger gal.
Hi Ted, another so good video.. I'm like you, my drone is my best friend... Thank you for your good mood and your sense of humor... 👍👍😉
Had mine for three weeks and I LOVE IT!!!!!!
I can't wait to see you're India footage
great Bonapoo footage! the way you slowly reveal just how many damn cars there are. Well done.
India will be wild. I’m going to spend about 8 months hitchhiking across India with my drone, volunteering for 5 different charities.
Its going to be a full length documentary on the power of optimism.
Awesome video. When you out the “hates” in perspective, that resonates big time! Great content always!
hey my friend. thank you for watching. Do you have or considering the Mini 3 Pro?
@@TedNemeth good morning Ted, I have the regular Mini. I am enjoying it and for all the reasons you stated. I didn’t get the pro because everything good about it over the regular Mini3 seemed redundant.
Pros and cons to everything bro epic year indeed epic vid as always too on a side note got the best drone shots ever on the latest vid blew my little mind hope your well man stay tedtastic cheers
I love your videos and I can’t wait to see that India documentary
Ted, I’m new to your channel. Your videos are spot on and definitely give’s me a good perspective and things I can take away and learn from. Have a stellar week dude!
Bob that Nova Scotia clip you posted is stunning. More videos coming? And your 883 is gangster. Tuff looking ride. What year?
And wow man thank you for the kind words about my videos. Welcome aboard to OUR FLYING CAMERA CREW
Your editing is top notch. Funny and informative.
welcome aboard my FLYING FILMMAKER FRIEND! Man I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a supportive comment like that. It means a lot.
Ted, I’m happy with the mini3 pro, 🤝😎
I really enjoyed your video. Great observations on the Mini3Pro.
Ted we love you bro ❤
wow thank you! hey your instagram Mini 3 photos are truly remarkable. You’re super talented.
I love you Ted… Your funny.
Mr Winkie!!!! ahh man I really appreciate you watching & leaving a kind comment. Thank you.
The Mini 3 (non-pro) is an ideal choice for your needs, although it lacks the capability to record at 4K 60 fps, which is the only drawback.
Looking forward for the 10bit vs 8bit comparison, keep it up!
Another surprise Ted...4k at 60fps! My gosh, never occurred to me. just been outside and tried it. Great for those slo mos. Many thanks.
It's an awesome little drone, good job on the 1 year review.
right on man. thank you. How is all with you down there?
@@TedNemeth I just got the avata and got it in manual mode but a storm came up, hopefully I can get it in the air tomorrow for some practice flying, I did okay on the sim just flying it around so I should be okay I hope lol
Right on the money Ted. Love it and hate it at the same time. Like # 3!!!
Instructive and entertaining as always 😂 You are the man. Keep up the good work Ted 😊
hey good sir. Many thanks for watching and the kind supportive words. It really means a lot. And thank you for being a member. It makes this possible.
A lot of things to learn about of drones on your channels bro. I don't have great drone but I really amazing everything on your tips brother.
Great point about D-CineLike, Ted! Have a terrific trip in India!
John thank you my friend. More details on the India trip/documentary coming soon.
@Ted Nemeth hey Ted do you have your basic license and what are your thoughts in Florida banning dji drones?
Not a software expert but it seems there are 2 improvements that probably would not be very hard for DJI to do: (1) give us waypoints in normal filming mode. (How hard could it be if they already come with hyperlapse?) and (2) give us cruise control . . . I suspect DJI may be holding back to avoid cutting into Mavic 3 sales . . .
HI Ted. you never fail to upload amazing content. Informative yet creative, and Im still still with the mini2 and have no urge to upgrade now getting a little more time to myself with my mini2. Keep it up Ted job well done.👍
Hey my flying filmmaker friend. I was 100% happy with my Mini 2. The ONLY reason I purchased the Mini 3 was to make content about the Mini 3 so I could grow the channel. I LOVE my Mini 2. I have a fetish for making inexpensive gear look good. I’m actually thinking of starting a separate UA-cam channel with only a DJI Spark. I think i could get some great footage out of that little gal!
Thank you for being a part of the community my friend.
Funny and informative video! You have a great way to educate and entertain at the same time. And you seem to "meditate" the way I do. 😅 And I've been curious about this drone because of its low weight and noise. I like its capacity, despite its shortcomings. In the meantime I'll stick to my trusty Mavic 2 Pro. 😁
Oh oh oh, Dji won’t be happy to watch your complements 😅 but i totally agree! Thanks Ted !
Hey Sid. Thanks for watching buddy.
Ted I've been using the internet in all of its forms since 1996. I can tell you hands down, that I've never seen a creator like you. Keep it going my man, your talent is incredible. You offer something so unique!
ahh man. I really needed to hear supportive words like this today. Was a tough one. I appreciate you good sir. My goofy videos don’t get the clicks or subs, but I’m enjoying making them & learning storytelling & editing. If you have any specific topics I should cover please let me know.
great review
hey Jan. Thank you for watching and commenting. Say hello to Czechia!
@@TedNemeth Thank you Ted, I have just discovered your videos thanks to YT recommendations :) and I am really enjoying your creativity, have a good time across ocean!
Amazing episode, Ted ✨ You made me laugh a lot when describing collision modes 😂
Jaroslav I actually thought about you during the filming of a few shots! …saying to myself I hope this cracks him up. You’re one of the founding fathers of this channel brother.
@@TedNemeth ...and it really worked out! 😀 Thanks a lot, Ted, for your kind words. It's so inspirational to look at your journey and how your channel grows. You have so fantastic and funny ideas, I'm really looking forward to meet you once in person and have a long chat over the meal and beer...
Wish you a wonderful day, my friend! ✨
Always great story telling mate! 👏 Great video.
You know I have no issues with obstacle avoidance whilst in Active Track. And after talking to other dronies I really believe some DJI Mini 3 pro’s perform differently for some reason.
Hey buddy! Many thanks for watching & the kind words of support. It means a lot.
@@TedNemeth I watch them all mate the information has been improving my video work on the drone. Keep up the content 🙏
Question, wouldn’t the advantage of D cini like come into to play if you were trying to match color with a different camera?
hey brother thank you for watching.
so this is my opinion:
theoretically….i agree with you.
But in reality the d-CineLike color profile is NOT a true log profile.
It’s barely flat at all.
Therefore I see no advantage to using it and burning all that time to try to restore the exposure & colors back to they way they were when being filmed. WHICH….you’re just guessing at. You’re just moving around sliders in ur editing program until the footage looks good. But it’s not accurate. Unless you have THE actual DJI conversion LUT for D-CineLike. I ran a pole on my channel asking how many people had that LUT. Zero.
Ted:
1) ¡eres el único youtuber con un estilo absolutamente propio!
2) ¡eres el mejor explicando cada detalle importante, o no, con claridad!
3) ¡eres el único que introduce humor en cada video para hacerlo mucho más entretenido!
4) ¡eres el mejor en editar incluyendo gráficos y frases que atrapan!
5) ¡eres el mejor!

You are either REALLY drunk right now, or that’s a foreign language. I see many (!) exclamation points; so you either love me or hate me. Hmmmmm. Tough one.
@@TedNemeth It is Spanish.

@@TedNemeth Ted: I've only had 8 beers and I still think you're the best. When I wake up tomorrow, maybe I'll change my mind...
First I love my Mini 3 Pro and I will think about including you in the list.
I always get something out of your video Ted. Thanks fellow Long Islander!
Nice Upload, my friend😊
I'm surprised you didn't add the rc controller as one of your likes. I'm not exactly a novice but I've only ever flown two drones - the Mavic Air and Mini 2. I've been super jealous of all of the Mini 3 footage over the last year but I can't justify trading up yet. I have yet to see anyone's D-cine footage and noticed. Really looking forward to the 8 vs 10 bit video though. I'll either be the last one to buy a Mini 3 the day before the Mini 4 comes out. I get so much out of your videos, I thought I'd put my money where my mouth is and joined your super worthwhile channel. 🤩🤗🥳🤠
Christian! that is amazing my friend. Welcome aboard sir. I LOVE my Mini 2. To my eye…the only advantage the Mini 3 has is at night. I wonder when the Mini 4 leaks will start?
@@TedNemeth I agree. When the specs were first coming out and the bigger sensor was announced, that was what interested me the most. I've heard other people say, and I agree, DJI doesn't really have any competition or reason to make a Mini 4 so it probably won't be anytime soon. They're still selling the Pocket 2 and it's getting on 4 years old.
"I'll keep at this without having to sell ya any filters" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have a very similar love/hate thing with my Mini 3 Pro, have actively tried and failed to sell it twice, but seems like I'm going to be stuck with it.
Right now in the UK the Mini 3 is only £349 and that's the drone I would recommend to any new drone fliers.
As always, a very informative and entertaining video, looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Ted. 👍
Graham thank you buddy.
You have a good vibe
Christian I truly appreciate it. Welcome aboard to THE FLYING CAMERA CREW.
very nice
thank you my Indian friend. You have a Mini 3?
Hi Ted, Just saw the availability of the DJI Mini 4 Pro and wondering if you are considering an assessment on a futrue video. Your straight talk is second to none!! Dave
hey David! “Honest Ted” here……if I had the money i would buy a Mini 4 just to create some test episodes that gets lots of clicks and hopefully attract some new people to our community here. But it’s physically/spiritually/neurologically impossible for me to care less about settings and specs. I’m so happy with my Mini 2, I never need another drone. But I bought a Mini 3 Pro just to create episodes that get attention. But that Mini 3 Pro really is a fantastic drone: i love how quiet it is. And the night footage is super clean. Stable. And that RC controller is AMAZING. I definitely don’t regret buying the M3P.
At some point my channel will be big enough for DJI to start sending me free products to test. Then I can take super crazy risky shots and when I crash it I can say “sorry”. “Please send another”.
I’m actually thinking of buying an old DJI Trello and starting a new UA-cam channel with videos only from that drone. Really challenge my cinematography skills. I bet I could craft some SICK shots and really have fun with a little $100 flying camera. Anycrap. Thanks for being part of the community David! Any specific topics you’d like me to cover in an upcoming episode?
Greetings Ted, thank you very much for your note and powerful point of view. So right on! I totally understand and celebrate the beauty of the creative process and its importance in creating breathtaking cinematography as our dominant aspiration, positioning specs, features and speeds as toolbox tech. You have helped me immensely to mature my "art of our flying cameras" approach and the reason why I drone. Creating compelling videos for friends as lasting memories is such an incredible joy. Consider me as an appreciative apprentice. :-) As for upcoming topics, I really appreciate following your journey of discovery and lessons you are learning. Many thanks!!
Another boost to my simplification effort... No d-cinelike. I was deep in the weeds with color grading, LUT's and such hoping for some holy Grail of "my personal look". You know what looks good? Proper exposure, accurate color, and realistic saturation. Much easier workflow when I've shot in auto with normal color. I think I owe you dinner dude.
Ted, I medidate the same way, unfortunately. Great episode, thanks.
yes Kevin! that’s Brooklyn meditation.
Actually you can get quite a lot of additional dynamic range out of the mini3pro, the workflow is pretty specific though. It requires you to shoot at the exact settings suggested by Paul Leeming and his LUTs. But the results are noticeably better. Not to the point that they make a Mavic 3 obsolete, but a fair step up from the normal mode. However, D-Cinelike was historically an afterthought, the mini3pro initially shipped without it and it was later introduced via firmware upgrade. Reason was that engineering at the time did not think they could make the limited chip process 10bit footage properly, but they eventually made it work. Just record in H.264 with that, H.265 is a bit too much at the same time and can lead to stuttering, at least it used to when I tried it a while ago.
But in the end, it will always be cinematography first and foremost what makes footage great.
Hey buddy. Many thanks for commenting. I hear great things about Mr Leeming’s LUTs. I had no idea he has a workflow for the Mini 3 Pro. I’m super curious what it is and why it works. I truly don’t care about more dynamic range, especially if it’s more work (I believe in minimalism / kinda like Occams Razor but for creativity) But I always want to know why something works. Will look into it. Thank you!
😂😂😂😂 0:37 YES people from Germany laugh!!! greetings from Germany, Uwe
hey brother. my mother is from Germany. I’m totally kidding here.
Man, you barely look late 20s. From some of your Vlogs, I gathered you’re from New York I must have made a killing in the market and now just chilling and making videos. Didn’t know you were changing careers again. Best wishes you, you have good camera presence. Keep up the good work.
Would you suggest prop guards?
hey Joshua. Absolutely prop guards are the best way to go. Thank you for watching.
What software do you use ? To crop and edit
Ted, I bought a new Mavic 3, sensors don't work in those modes are low light also
Good day Ted,
I’d just seen this video and saved the entire playlist.
At ~10:26 or so you’re over the Brooklyn Bridge. I’d welcome to know, what process you go through, to obtain authorization, to fly in NYC.
Thank you for the great editing videos.
I've crashed too many times, 2 days ago into the deep blue. Dji data analysis indicated it was my fault, o.9 meters above the water and I toggled the landing...so they said. I was higher although I often fly low over water. They won't replace it so I am pondering my options.
The cut to you in the car.....after losing a years worth of footage 😅 dude I laughed so hard!!!!
right on! thanks for watching buddy.
Glad to be in the, " Fully grown men with little flying cameras" club ❤
welcome aboard sir!
I really enjoy your videos. You have a real talent for this. BTW, you don't look a day over 40.
The pro controller is a winner.
*Previously* (Mini OG) - Flipping the arms out, finding a cable, trying to run the cable through the arms, then squash your phone into the arms, accidentally fire-up three apps by touching screen with four thumbs.... grrrrrr.
Mini 3 Pro - turn on drone, turn on controller, fly!
you said it perfectly.
I’ve got the air 3 and I find that with a low sun, sometimes the obstacle avoidance starts seeing things that aren’t there, think it’s reflections, completely stopped me getting a shot I wanted today.
congrats on your Air3. What an incredible machine. I’m jealous. Yup reflections will confuse most little sensor systems.
@@TedNemeth yes, a few days later, I was filming ‘the angel of the north’, a large statue near Gateshead, uk for a video I’m doing for my channel at sunset, the side facing the sun was brightly lit and would it buggery go near it, looks like it was taking the reflections as obstacles. The unlit side it was happy to go into. Thanks. If you don’t mind, when I’ve done this video, can I send you the link for your honest opinions, love your videos and have picked up a lot of tips from them. I’d value your honest feedback?
Would you still recommend the mini 3 pro or mini 4 pro
hey Jeff! it all comes down to money. If you are one of those rich people i hear about and a few hundred dollars more is like nothing….then get the Mini 4. Why not.
[WARNING PERSONAL OPINION HERE:] ….but do NOT think anyone needs the added specs of the Mini 4 Pro. All these little spec bumps are just marketing. You can put a Mini 2 in the hands of a very experienced cinematographer and they will get MUCH better footage than a $16,000 Inspire 3 drone in the hands of a beginner or even an intermediate. Specs do not matter. The only thing that matters is cinematography skills. I do not need a Ferrari to go to town to buy some milk. But I still want one.
Wow a years worth of great video lost☹️ 😱 Sorry I had to laugh though at you sitting in your car swearing and pounding the steering wheel. 🤣 I also hate that the obstacle avoidance doesn’t work during sport mode and sideways 🤬😡 Loved the video, great tips👍👍🤩
Ted, you are Hilarious!!! love it! you Should sell this episode to DJI as a promo video for the Mini 3 Pro- BUZZZZ! Whoops! maybe not!
Definitely got a sub out of this for making me laugh through the video…and so you don’t have to sell filters… ❤❤❤ Love the “Karen” part the most.
ha! right on. Glad you dig my goofy humor. We’re not trying to cure cancer here. Might as well have some fun.
Do you own the air2S and if so, is it worth buying the air2s
Great video. I am going to start flying and video editing. Do you mind telling me what program you use for editing videos?
congratulations on your new creative direction. Welcome aboard to our FLYING CAMERA CREW. I use LUMAFUSION to edit video and absolutely love it.
@@TedNemeth thank you very much. You have a new subscriber :-)
I toast you, Ted, with a sip of Angels Envy Rye. The past is history. The future is a mystery. Treat each day like a gift. That's why they call it the present. Cheers.
Louie I like your style brother. I’ll have to try that rye.
Reminds me of a favorite series of events in New York City about 20 years ago….Johnnie Walker used to have tasting parties at like fancy art galleries. Everyone would have a seat and there was a map of Scotland with different shots over different regions of the country and the master distiller would narrate the tour around the regions and explain the different flavors in each shot.
Went to a few of those. All these upscale people got HAMMERED.
Great times back in NYC.
Thanks for watching Louie.
Are you sure about Obstacle Avoiance not working with Active Track? I thought it did.
"Tits on a Bull" has folded me in half after 15 seconds. Love this guy 🤣😂🤣😂
Ted totally agree d-cinilike is garbage I still have my air 2 and I've tested the mini 3 pro auto vs de-cinilike and I've found trying to recover the colours is near impossible my air 2 is a lot better so ted auto all the way mate cheers col from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 👍
hey Colin. Yeah my personal experience is there’s just not enough benefit to justify the extra work. Colin if you have any suggestions for topics you’d like to see me cover in an upcoming episode….I’d be glad to hear it mate. Many thanks.
@@TedNemeth no problem ted 👍
Oh shit.. Ted, how did you loose the footage?! Very sorry to hear that! Thanks for another hugely entertaining video! 🙏 I have a question and possibly a tip for something you shouldn't do with the Mini 3..I was trying to get rid of the sensors underneath so I can fly very closely things without it jumping altitude so I put tape over them which I've done before on my Mavic 2. Big mistake, it immediately just started gaining altitude without any input (which makes sense), luckily I could grab it before it ended up in orbit! Any tricks on how to turn off the downward facing sensors?
Same happened with me too when I taped the bottom sensors.
You can't turn the OA sensors off, you can only disable the (Bypass or Brake) intervention in settings.
same happened to me when I taped a large LED light to the bottom of my drone. Was trying some long exposure light painting shots. The darn drone took off!
@@TedNemeth Oh no! 😂 And probably just when you didn't want to be drawing attention to yourself you have a massive light on your out of control drone!
You're a pretty weird guy Ted. I fully support it haha. Subscribed.
not weird, free.
@@beatsandstuff ok…
hey Chris!
Hunter S Thompson said: “when the going get’s weird, the weird turn pro.”
dang your AZ shots are stunning. That’s a beautiful part of a beautiful country. Looking forward to moto riding through there one day.
Fly safe Chris.
@@TedNemeth Thompson also said: "Some may never live, but the crazy never die." Keep it weird!
So, then... I don't need a mini 3 pro with my mini 3 "basic" i am fine. Isn't it. Great video.
hey buddy. thanks for the kind words. Congrats on your Mini 3.
So just grab the standard mini 3 would be your recommendation?
hey buddy! it totally depends on how much money you got. If you’re one of those rich people I hear about, then a few hundred dollars extra is no big deal….then definitely get the Pro. But if money is tight, like me, just get the Mini 3 standard, have a cold beer, and enjoy a fulfilled life with a flying camera and not being burdened with all the hassles of having millions of dollars.
@@TedNemeth thanks ya I'm def not rich but I could swing the pro with this amazon prime deal they have going on. However like you I'm not interested at all with the follow mode, obstical avoidance..... But I do want the one that's going to give me the best signal for long distance flights, I've heard good and bad about the pro and not enough vids on UA-cam about the mini 3 connection to really have a good determination of wich one has the best connection in longer range flights so I don't know😅🤙. Anyway I was just curious what your final recommendation was since alot of the "pro" features you didn't have a use for and sounds like if you have the money go pro. Thanks✌
@@Lithium023Don't forget that the pro captures data at 150mbps vs standard at 100mbps. So they claim...
*update I ended up getting the mini 3 basic model flymore combo and it's what I was hoping for so I'm good with my choice. I just knew I wouldn't use the majority of features that the pro has anyway. Just vids and pics is all I'm interested in and I want to fly the drone myself to get the shots. Flying itself stuff sounds boring to me, also if anyone is interested the mini 3 base can travel a long long ways like 10km long ways out with battery plus and make it back.
Does battery drop after 1 year???
hey buddy! its funny you ask….I’m finishing my next episode talking all about the proper way to treat DJI drone batteries to get them to last much longer. Great episode. I actually learned a lot so far! Stay tuned my friend.
I didn’t get the part where you showed another drone that worked 100% of the time with the object avoidance system. What drone was that, or was it a toy?
hey my friend! That was a DJI drone with the prop guards on. My point was that the “obstacle avoidance systems” in drones do not work very well for small things…..but the prop guards work perfectly in all situations on all drones. But most people don’t use them,…including me. Thank you for watching! Glad you like my episodes (i saw your other comment.). Super kind. Welcome aboard to our FLYING CAMERA CREW
Careful, it's illegal to do any night flying in India. They also have a really low max altitude, like 25 meters or something, but I think DJI will automatically set that for you. They are very strict about the drone laws there and people have gone to jail over them, so be careful! And if the military coup and civil war in Myanmar is over by then, consider adding it onto your trip. Myanmar is sandwiched between India and Thailand, and is the most amazing country I've ever been to. Or at least it was, before the coup 😞
hey Daniel. Great seeing your name pop up. Hope you’re well man. Still venturing outside?
@@TedNemeth hey Ted, well, while it's become safer for me to venture outside these days, monsoon season also just started creeping in this last month and half or so, so we've had some amount of rain every day for weeks now. I did see 7 rainbows in one section of the sky the other day at sunrise though, it was like a psychedelic experience and sadly it only lasted a few seconds. I've never seen anything like that in my life, and would have killed for some drone footage of it.
Hi Ted. Great video. Sorry to hear about your loss of footage. The rage was warranted. I also agree about the low flying shots. A lot of people just want to go to the max height and hit record and completely miss some incredible opportunities for phenomenal footage by not flying low. Great share 👍
Thank Paul. I thought I had a good system for saving b-roll clips. But i guess not.
@@TedNemethLiterally, you should make a video on what happened and what you would do differently. That would be GOLDEN. ❤
Gut dia , legal
Great video. Goid points. So in short, get Mini 3 instead of Mini 3 Pro.
hey buddy! i would say…if if you’re one of those rich guys i hear about and a few hundred dollars extra is like nothing….then definitely get the M3Pro. But if you’re like me, and a few hundred extra dollars is like a huge amount of money,…..then save it and get the standard Mini 3. And treat yourself to an ice cream sandwich.
@@TedNemeth Hahaha I sold the Mini 2 to either get Mini 3, Mini 3 PRO or Air 3. I am not that creative, but working on it. So no, I am not rich. And I need to save for fly more combo and filters as well...
Love you content, and approach to the camera drone. Thank you for sharing!
Obstacle Avoidance feels like a useless feature DJI added to keep the price high while changing little else. The rotating camera is a cool feature but I use it half as much as I thought I would... Need to get back in the air. Do you have your license?
May we see your paper's please elcapitano?
I can't even think of a place I would use active track, outside of a basketball court.... But in NYC we obey the parks law...
Jimmie! Good to see man. I’m going to ur channel now. It’s been a few weeks. Thanks for stopping by. PS - I’ll be in Bushwick this Thursday to Sunday. FYI
@@TedNemeth it's my pleasure as always, and thank you.
Listen I crash mine in the car, with the obstacle avoidance , I was shocked 🤣🤣🤣
yup! the little obstacle avoidance system in the Mini 3 Pro isn’t worth its weight in dirt. I keep it turned on, but totally ignore it. I don’t rely on it 1 bit. Was your drone ok when it crashed?
