    It's quite refreshing to get an opinion about new DJI Mini 3 Pro from an actual landscape photographer. I was struggling to get a good perspective on this one, because a lot of reviewers are not into photography at all, but you really brought me a big step closer to actually buying this drone

    I'm in LOVE with this drone. It's incredible what DJI was able to fit into such a portable and stealthy package. Thanks for the tips on panoramas. The jpg ones it produces leave much to be desired and lightroom messes up the horizon when merging the unstitched raw images that are taken during the autopano process. Looks like I just need to carefully shoot them manually. No biggie!

    I think this review is the one that brings me closest to purchasing one. I flew my brothers mini 2 around my rural area about a month ago, over crops, creeks, forest, down country roads, over the river, flight distance/air time easily 15 km ( not transmission distance), even inspected my roof and chimney. The quality of the images was impressive, the ease and robust flight ability, even in a 20 kph wind, was mind blowing. I knew this one was launching so I started looking into the imaging quality of both. I know the 2 is 1/3 the cost with the bundle you need to actually utilize either, but the ability to really work on aerial photography with the 3 makes it the winner by a mile. Back when I worked in forestry for a living I spent years looking at aerial imaging and was always amazed, now with these drones the potential is limitless!

    I'm not really into new cameras, new lenses (I have very old gears and I'm happy with them) but every time a new drone, especially from dji, i'm amazed and want to buy one and this one could be the one if, if... there is always a if, there were more places to fly in my area. Lots of forbidden areas. I don't want to invest if I can't use it a lot.

    I've got my mini 3 pro a few days ago. now registered, it alowed me to go pretty much city center (munich) because of its weight and reduced restrictions. As a beginner, I made a nice night timelapse video flying over the river isar which divides both halfes of the city including car traffic patterns and single sources of people going for a walk with headlamps. I am just in disbelief of how good this thing is in every regard, be it flying, the new remote, the pictures, the videos. I feel so lucky to have this thing.

Exposure bracketing is good and with the portrait ability now I will try out as you say to produce a pano. Thank you

    I love the images and how you made them. I often an amazed at what the sky and clouds do so well. Living in West Central Florida which is luckily a weatheer convergence zone the nature of these elements are simply amazing. What I have seen and heard from you forced me to subscribe and follow you always now. Your work ethics are very good and I will learn a lot using my lovely mini 3 pro for sure. They are great at videos but I really love the camera for its image abilities as a flying camera not on the ground. I have beautiful cameras and lenses but the drone is special. I still love my Mavic pro2 with Hasselblad as well as others I own but the Mini 3 is a special one for its abilities and flight times. I have not had the well spoken of issues and now it even has a longer distance as I like to go out about a miles towards the gulf of mexico I live so close to (2 miles). A flying camera is magic to my eyes.

    It was long I was hoping you'd make a drone video, and here finally it is! And I'm glad you did it with the Mini 3 Pro. So small yet so powerful. I have the DJI Air 2S and I'm truly happy with it. But I must admit the possibility of rotating the camera for portrait is an amazing feature; it's more practical than stitching together two horizontal images. And I also agree with you that DJI should allow raw panos instead of jpeg. Hopefully DJI will hear you! Great review and great video Nigel. And I'm very much looking forward to getting one of your Seascapes in my hands!

    Awesome video...I just received my Mini 3 Pro.. Bought it mainly for photography. Unfortunately the manual is not very good in explaining all of the minutia of the RC Controller. Unfortunately many videos don't actually cover what actually happens when you press the shutter button. Right now everything is pretty much set to Auto. When I half press to focus, it lets me know when it's in focus, but a little sun 🌞 looking symbol pops up. I have no idea what that is. Also, the focus only in the center? Anyway to select the focus on another part of the screen? Is the exposure only on the center of the screen, or can I have the camera set the exposure on something other than the center? I found out by accident you can rotate the gimbal by swiping your finger on the screen. Can you recommend a video that shows the steps of taking photos with the Mini 3 Pro? I have a few decent photos, but purely by accident.... Once I learn everything about the camera, I can incorporate your tips ....

      This is the reason I'm having trouble pulling the trigger on the Mini 3. I live in Maryland and finding a place to fly for photos are very limited.

    Hello Nigel,
    I always enjoy watching your videos and tutorials. I'm looking forward for more drone landscape photography videos from you.
    The Mini 3 Pro is my first drone that I bought for the sole purpose of using it for photography, and it's really a great tool to get new photography opportunities, it really makes me go out more often to (re)discover my area from another point of view.
    BUT I have a problem with it, more specifically with the 12MP DNG files.
    Have you noticed that those photos (the 12MP DNGs) once imported in Lightroom have a really strong vignetting/darkening. You can try to fix that using the vignetting lens corection, but this is not enough in the case you want to create a panorama as it results in a disgracious banding effect in the skies.
    This doesn't happen when you use the 48MP DNGs, so it's certainly profile issue that DJI can fix in the next firmware update.
    Have you noticed that problem ?
    If so, how were you able to fix the problem ?

      There should be a 48 MP “mode” for the dji mini 3 camera. maybe this will help your issue

      @@dqnell599 I know there is a 48MP mode but it is not the solution as it can't be used in AEB mode. Apparently the last firmware update fixed the problem but I haven't tested yet as my Mini 3 Pro went back to DJI for repair :-/

    Superb imagery from the Mini 3 Pro I have the Mavic 3 and my photos don't look half as good, what am I doing wrong, I'm pretty new to photography so what settings should I use, I know that's a pretty hard question to answer, I always shoot in Pro settings but I don't think I'm dialling them in as best as I can, I feel like I'm letting the drone down if that makes sense, any help or advice you can give would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Thanks for the review. I have the original mini and was waiting for the mini 2 to come down in price because I wanted it for the raw photo capability but since the mini 3 launched I'm considering making the larger purchase to it for all the other features it has as well. Though for the price it is it's no longer really considered an introductory drone like the previous two minis.

    I have a Mini 2 and portrait mode is the one thing I miss from my old Mavic Pro. The automated 9 shot pano has all the shots at strange angles that I have never been able to correct in LR/PS. It also doesn't bracket very far on the +/-. As a result, for 'that' shot I use manually bracketed and aimed shots. A 27 shot AEB pano takes a few minutes to shoot! End result is excellent but I must admit I do think about a Mini 3 from time to time so I could just go back to portrait mode!

    Thank you for a great video, Nigel. You have probably also noticed that, for some reason, the lens profile is not embedded into the DNG. Being so, could you kindly share what lens profile you use in Lr? Thanks!

    Thank you for this, I have a drone already, and thought I was the only person who just uses them for photography. I wanted to do video as well, but the restrictions killed it for me. The ability to rotate the camera, along with the 249 grams has convinced me that I need to get one of these to replace my old Mavic Pro. I may even start to learn how to do some video.

    At the very beginning of the video, you were using the drone to follow you as you spoke. I saw that you were mic'd but where was the sound being recorded if the video was recorded on the drone? Or did you record audio separately and then sync'ed the audio and video in post?

    Got the mini 2 over 6 months ago. Should have waited. Mini 3 looks so much better although twice the cost. Question: how you set focus with a drone? Such a thing as setting the focus point?

    thanks for reply. iv managed to sort it out if its below 250g it only needs a Flyer ID which lasts for 5 years is free here once you do the 40 questions if you put the bigger battery in it takes it over 250g so also need a Operators ID which costs £10 quid over here for 12 months

    Wow amazing, your lucky to get a free drone from dji! I was wondering how high did you go as reason i;m asking is i actually live on a hill with landscapes views surrounded by me and according to the law i think as due to living on the hill i can only fly up to 120 meters in the UK. Is that correct… if not can you correct me. As i am hoping to get bird eye views of the landscapes.

    Thanks Nigel. Those are wonderful suggestions how to use portrait mode and the LRC features. I have been building and flying drones for 10 years and think the Mini 3 Pro an incredible achievement. I just wish that there was an option to use DJI goggles with it! Hanging on to my Mavic 2 Pro for that reason. Subbed. -cheers
