The Dji mini pro 3 is a massive hit. I had a mini 2 but soon sold it to get the mini 3. Best decision I’ve made, and that includes being a Mavic 3 owner too. Two perfect drones. Keep the videos coming, all worth the watch as usual. 👍
I purchased this (partly off of YOUR wind test, that ranted and raved about how great it was, that I coincidently now can’t find 😂 ) Despite your opinion flop on the wind testing, I still love it, there are times I bust out my Air2s a 2 cover the windy days, but luckily, like you mentioned, it’s so small it fits anywhere, including the same case as the air 2s .
Coming from the original mini 1 after about 3 year. This was a game change for me. The drone is just perfect for what i do with it. Got a full drone license and thinks about having this and the mavic 3 classic in the future. It the perfect drone for beginners and professionals
Exactly… Our fleet of Mavic 2P’s and Phantoms do 99% of our work, but my go bag (a Lowepro BP250 I think) is perfect to fit my M3P and Mini 3P along with the RC Pro and 3 batt each. Use the Mini 3P when I want to be more unobtrusive… it is so small and quiet. Each has there place in my kit.
For the convenience of how light and quiet the Mini 3 is, I can accept that it's going to be restricted, wind-wise. Having said that, I've been surprised at just how much of a breeze it will handle. It's my first drone and after watching a few of your videos the whole flying experience has become quite intuitive. It's so easy to use. I haven't used Sport mode yet, as I like the reassurance of the sensors. Maybe I'll look at heavier drones in the future, but for now I'm more than happy with the Mini 3 Pro.
This has been my fear as it will be my first drone. As a professional photographer I wanted to step up into drone photography and videography as well. How long did you play around with it before taking it out properly? Its a dream and nightmare for me at the same time, as everyone I know that has friends that use drones has told me I will crash it.
@@UHDGamers-re2xj I'm a semi-pro (hobbyist who's sold a fair few pieces), and I too wanted to expand into drone photography. Your photographic skills will cover all the camera settings on the drone, so your main focus of learning will be piloting. I went out into a field with the minimum amount of obstacles and spent time getting used to the controls. I kept out of sport mode as that is too fast for learning and disables all the obstacle avoidance sensors. Hoover up all the advice from DM Productions, and also a chap called Mattheww Brennan (yes, with 2 Ws). The method I use to avoid obstacles is have a good look round where I am going to take off (for pylons, trees, etc), then when the drone is up and in a position to start a manoeuvre, I do a quick 360 view to make sure I am above any obstacles that could get in the way. Just start off being ultra-cautious, and it'll all make sense over time. Fingers crossed I haven''t crashed yet, but I did take out the 2 year DJI Care Refresh, as I figure there's a reasonable chance it will happen at some point. I quickly learned to hand launch and land too. UA-cam is definitely your friend when starting up, and has given me a lot of confidence. The camera quality on this drone is astonishing for its size. Good luck!
In windy conditions the larger battery makes a big difference. It's more a lack of mass than power but the Maverick is still better in very high winds. I've been really happy with this drone!
What's the difference in weight between those 2 batteries? Adding some extra weight, some lead, to the drone body to increase stability even if it shortens the flight time?
I’m still enjoying my Mini 3 Pro immensely, long after 6 months, because I knew exactly what the capabilities and limitations were before I purchased it. I had been debating for months whether to go with it or the Mavic. Obviously, the Mavic is larger, handles wind better, has a much further range, incredible object sensors and camera but, it’s also at least 3 times as expensive and requires registration. The Mavic (or its newer version) will be my next purchase, 4 or 5 years down the road. Right now, I’m very happy with my Mini 3 Pro. Yes, buying the Plus battery would help add mass to it but it would also push the weight into the 250g registration requirement zone. If I’m going to do that, I would have just gone with the Mavic to begin with. If you decide to buy a Boss 305 instead of a Countach, don’t be disappointed because it’s not as sleek or fast 6 months later.
I've had mine for 5 months. Absolutely love it. No issues with the wind. Tracking and Obstacle avoidance have been pretty good for the most part. Due to the wright, I'm able to use it in Canada in pretty much any location other than national /provincial parks. Batteries are great and fly more combo is a must. RC Pro is awesome. Great beginner drone that takes amazing videos. I do need to invest in some ND filters for the bright days.
@raczyk believe it's a min of 100ft away from anyone vehicles or structures and can't go above 400ft high and need to be 2km from airports and what not
This is my third drone and replaced my much loved mini 2. I got the filters for it and have to say other than the losing signal around 1500m constantly I have been very pleased with it. I use it for the most part to up the production value of my fishing videos and it does that job for me. I travel abroad a fair amount and have had not trouble in Europe or the US flying the drone. I have thought of bigger but that comes with its own problems I suppose.
The best thing about the Mini 3 Pro from my usage is that it's" NON-Threatening" to the public. Unless you are flying in a packed baseball stadium where anything is a nuisance other than the game, this drone is the top tool to fly anywhere. You can get any shot or video without seeing peoples heads turned looking at the drone during post processing. If you are out to get the best footage of the environment where everything is at it's natural state, then this is the drone for 90+ percent of hobbyist IMO. I have flown this numerous times at beaches, and the majority of people view it as a toy. They do not care. It's nearly impossible to do that with any other drone on the market as of this video.
Yup, I couldn't agree more. I have had the same experience with the Mini 2 and now, even more so with the Mini 3 Pro. Between the lack of noise (or at least a pitch that doesn't seem as offensive to some) and the size ( ahh, isn't it cute) factor it is the best drone on the market to use "around" people. Great to just have with you while traveling/sightseeing and launch it and not worry about disturbing anybody.
The Mini 3 is a great little drone but is restricted by two things, the wind and loss of signal strength resulting in limited range. Stay away from trees or anything that can reduce the signal strength, Avoid the wind, and fly on days where there is no wind, it does alright up to 10 mph (6.6 km). I am new using the Freewell anamorphic lens with the Mini 3 and am very pleased with my videos. My most used drone is my Mavic 3 with the RC Pro controller. My Avata is sitting in my den collecting dust except for certain kinds of shooting.
The mini range is pretty good with the new Rc controller I have one an didn’t really have no problems with the range an I really be pushing it if you up your altitude I went 4 miles on the extended battery .
Was wondering why it has no aerial sticking out of the controller. Be nice to be able to connect an external Yagi type antenna for longer range. Do you know where the antenna is situated inside?
mavic 3 classic is great value, the difference just for the zoom isn't worth it, I would say either the mavic 3 classic or mini 3 pro, depends where you want to fly mavic 3 classic is better in the wind etc
I’m a new drone operator, I bought a mini SE and within a week I got the 3. I really want to plot way points while not flying to set up hyper-lapse videos. I’m a novice so the software is a little “clunky” to me. The basic functionality learning curve is easy but the advanced features are a little daunting. Same on the software for video editing. I definitely use your channel as a resource! Thanks for sharing your experience
I recently got this drone I've been using a phantom 4 pro for many years but it was too big to carry around with me in equipment and vehicles. I've only flown it a couple times but so far it has been awesome. Thanks for the review
Hello, I need your advice. I had till yesterday a fantastic DJI Mini, the first model. Even in strong wind I could make nice shots, always keeping in mind that the wind should help me to get home. Now, I crashed my drone in slaty water and even after rinsing, the corrosion seemed killed my drone. Now is the question, should I upgrade to the Mini Pro 3, so that I never hit a bridge as I did now, or is the wind resistance of the 3 really less as strong as the 1? BTW your video was very clear and helpful. Greetings, Charles
hey the wind performance will be slightly better on the mini 3 pro than the mavic mini, it would be a really good upgrade for you click.dji.com/ALI_z80OMgXsq_hzL6dT8g?pm=link
I'm thinking of getting this as an upgrade to my mini SE. What is the connection like on this one? Does it have as many issues as the mavic mini/mini SE?
im new to drones. my dad bought this and all i can say is wow. Not having used any larger drones, this is freaking crazy and i can not believe what i am capable of with this. I would highly reccomend this to anyone.
Hey there. I have the original mini and i have enjoyed it a lot. Is the video quality of the Mini 3 pro a LOT better than the mini? I know the mini is only 2.7k. I care only about the video quality. Thanks
I still love mine! My original one was stolen (broke into my car and stole my pack) and I was so addicted that I bought another! I've not exactly tried to fly in high winds, but I did take it over the ocean one where the wind was whipping. I flew it out 2500 feet to a lighthouse and had zero issues. I turned it to sport mode and went about 25 feet up and it came home like a champ. Landing was an adventure because I was standing 1000 feet out on a sandbar and the tide was coming in! The wind was blowing it all over as I was trying to land (couldn't hand grab, it wouldn't stay still). I eventually had to abort landing on my landing pad and it landed on some damp sand, but nothing happened. Overall, this things amazing!
for me the mini 3 pro is absolutely amazing and i use it for professional purposes regarding landscape ecology inspecting certain landscape elements which are not easily accessible or just gaining an overlook over bigger areas. it‘s kind of my flexible eye in the landscape which has to cover traits like sharp enough photos, being able to observing environmental objects in detail and using those photos for expertises as well, being light weighted because of me being always on my feet with it. it has to be reliable at the same time and especially without attracting attention because of the many distrustful and therefore sometimes angry land owners i have to deal with. and all those traits it covers perfectly for me. just buy all batteries you can get for it if you do time-consuming stuff like me, but that technical need lies in the nature of the whole situation and the device. in my profession as a landscape ecologist there‘s simply no better drone for my special needs😊.
Just got my mini 3 pro, had some toy drones in the past, i think the mini 3 is ideal for anyone wanting to get a bit more seriously into drones before moving up to the bigger more professional stuff.
I used my Mavic 2 pro for over a year but recently changed it for Mini 3 pro. I know the Mavic2pro is a way better in many cases but the weight and size and all those restrictions pushed me to sell my 4 year old m2pro. Not to mention as a photographer I had to carry a bakcpack with m2p with additional stuff PLUS heavy camera bag with lenses. Feels so lighter now.
Never mind about the drone. I want to thank you for that great video. I lived on the GC base when it was SAC 1955-1958. Thanks gain for the memories. I got loads of stories living on the base and traveling with the baseball team over a lot of Europe AFbases.
Life is full of compromises. It’s up to the individual to decide which end of the compromise they are comfortable with. The features(not gimmicks)that DJI has packed into the Mini 3 Pro makes it a no brainer for anyone contemplating getting a drone in this day and age - it’s a quality product in spite it’s sub-250gm weight. Treat it as you would any precision appliance. It’s not a toy👍👍 Just a final word about its stability in light windy conditions - try taking one of those wide panoramas where it takes 21 shots in sequence(7 x3) and it’ll look like you had it on a tripod!
i love the mini 3 pro i bought your luts and they are great i bought the fly more kit plus the batteries average 36 to 40 minutes keep up the good work
You trying to say something about my baby Darren. Yes I’m all fixed and up and flying again. The dressing is off my ear where they cut the cancer out. So it’s just a matter of waiting for the stitches to dissolve. Right you. Picking on my baby. It’s a fantastic drone as you say and does everything I require. I suppose if your a pro like yourself, you would automatically use the drone suitable for that work. If it’s going to be very windy you would use your monster, me I wouldn’t fly until the weather was suitable for my baby mini 3 pro. Great to hear from you again. Can’t wait for more great ideas and information. Another brilliant packed video tonight. Thank you. Until your next one. Bye for now my friend
@@DMProductions thank you Darren. I’m pleased we can have a laugh together. While I’m on, do you recommend any sun shields for the Mini 3 pro Darren. Take care my friend
Have a question on the Mini 3 regular batteries. I have the regular batt and charger unit, will the larger cap batt fit in the same charger unit that the regular batt came with?
Still flying with the Mavic pro 1st edition. Was considering about upgrading it but the Mavic 3 cine is super expensive not until the classic version came out to the market. The Mjni 3 pro looks promising, standing side by side to the Mavic 3 classic, I’m in a hard situation considering about it.
this is what puts me off with this drone its to light and i live in west wales where there big mountains and lots of winds so im tempted to get the licenses and buy the mavic classic instead
Thanks for the honest review,and yes I live UK also,and wind can be a nightmare for most outdoor hobbies,have just bought this mini 3 Pro and look forward to flying it,had bebop 2,so excited for this drone,thanks again for heads up regarding strong wind,and will avoid flying in those conditions,your drone footage looks fantastic,can't wait to try this out
There's no doubt that this drone was, and to some extent still is a game changer. If dji give out a firmware update that enables the cruise control feature thats now on the mavic classic and others that would be fantastic.
How does one change that batteries in the remote. I think quality control messed up bad and sent me a remote control with no door to change the batteries in the remote. Should I send it back. If the missing battery door is part of the design, then it's a poor design for the money. How do I fix the problem.
I use the N1 controller, coupling it with old Samsung C9pro and the newer S20ultra seems to give different distance is it by coincidence or there's an effect of how the mini 3 fly ? The old phone I get 650m before signal loss and RTH acrivated while the S20U more then 1km and still going with screen recorder of the phone set to recording
i have the mavic air 1 and have been looking at this drone. the convenience of the screen on controller is the main thing swaying me. also im finding it difficult to fly my drone due to certain restrictions in place. would this be a worthy upgrade for someone just looking to fly from their garden and also take pictures at car meets and stuff like that? i have been wary using the mavic air due to not being able to fly over people. thanks in advance
I upgraded from Mavic Mini to Mini3Pro and Im so happy with this drone. In holiday at the Beach I had no issues in small windy conditions. But for really strong wind I think Mini3Pro is not made for. But all in all a great drone, especially in combo with the RC Controller👌🏻Cool video, thx for your thoughts!👍🏻
hi Respected Darren my drone is locked i can only able to fly in my Area or County of Harleysville, PA and unable to fly in out like 20 or 30 miles away from my location kindly guide me
I like the 3 but, getting it to follow me mode is glitchy, on the stand alone RC the maps don't appear as they do on the phone-connected RC, the transfer from it to a phone with QR code link to download is rubbish,
Hello mate, I've been looking at this drone for a while now, and I am looking at it for my content. I do have a question though on one of the bad points. What winds MPH maximum would you say I shouldn't fly the drone? I do alot of content on the beach and don't really go out and film anything over 15MPH anyway. I just wanted to know what is the maximum wind speed this drone could still be comfortable to fly with? Thank you
Wind resistance would always be the major shortcoming of light >250g drones as light drones tend to get easily jostled by the wind. However, as a newbie on drones, I am thoroughly impressed by the stealth and performance of the Mini 3 Pro for its' price that it outweighs the weakness on windy conditions. Definitely a HIT for me! Loving my Mini 3 Pro since the day I bought it.
I dunno what to do either the mavic 3 classic or mini 3 pro, and as I live in London I’m swaying towards the mini 3 pro just because of the restrictions on the classic 😢
Regarding wind, I use Drone Aware and know way ahead if I will be able to fly somewhere or not, and if not, I choose a different location for that day. Haven't really had any situation where I got to a location and could not fly because of the wind.
Great video. I share the same outlook. I've had the M3P for a months now, and I love it. The only problem is that my home area here in Israel is right at the coastline, and its generally quite windy here. Most of the times, I see the "Not Good To Fly" verdict at the tope of the UAV Forecast app. So, I'll probably get the Mavic 3 Classic as soon as it becomes available here. I'm scheduled to visit Iceland later this winter, and was quite concerned about how the M3P will handle the conditions there. Now, the Classic will probably accompany me on that trip.
My biggest gripe is when you hit return to home it flies up as high as it can and takes it's sweet time to come back. So frustrating especially if your battery is low.
Good to fly around town and yes you're right you do need its bigger brother for the windy day and vacation trips. Thanks for the video, always good review
Him: "The drone can't handle the wind" B-roll: Smooth drone shot over the top of the mountain Him: "Mavic is better against wind" B-roll: Mavic struggles to hover in windy situation If your only issues is the "wind problem", that makes me buy this drone even more! Thx for the review! Now I know for sure that this is the drone I want to own!

mavic 3 classic is great value, the difference just for the zoom isn't worth it, I would say either the mavic 3 classic or mini 3 pro, depends where you want to fly mavic 3 classic is better in the wind etc
Thanks for a great review. Newbie question? How do you know when it is too windy to fly the mini 3 pro?
What do you think of the mini 3 vs avata for content creation
Both completely different drones, depends if you want to go the fpv route or cinematic. Both fab tho I did a video on these too
How much wind is too for the Pro to fight - 30 kph/20 mph? If it can handle that, I'm a buyer- thanks for the video pointers and any insight.
I think the perfect middle ground is the Air 2S. Not too big, not too small, just perfect!
How many lut's do you get in the air 2s cinematic lut pack?
8 😊

I'm thinking of getting this as an upgrade to my mini SE. What is the connection like on this one? Does it have as many issues as the mavic mini/mini SE?
im new to drones. my dad bought this and all i can say is wow. Not having used any larger drones, this is freaking crazy and i can not believe what i am capable of with this. I would highly reccomend this to anyone.
Hey there. I have the original mini and i have enjoyed it a lot. Is the video quality of the Mini 3 pro a LOT better than the mini? I know the mini is only 2.7k. I care only about the video quality. Thanks
I still love mine! My original one was stolen (broke into my car and stole my pack) and I was so addicted that I bought another! I've not exactly tried to fly in high winds, but I did take it over the ocean one where the wind was whipping. I flew it out 2500 feet to a lighthouse and had zero issues. I turned it to sport mode and went about 25 feet up and it came home like a champ. Landing was an adventure because I was standing 1000 feet out on a sandbar and the tide was coming in! The wind was blowing it all over as I was trying to land (couldn't hand grab, it wouldn't stay still). I eventually had to abort landing on my landing pad and it landed on some damp sand, but nothing happened. Overall, this things amazing!
for me the mini 3 pro is absolutely amazing and i use it for professional purposes regarding landscape ecology inspecting certain landscape elements which are not easily accessible or just gaining an overlook over bigger areas. it‘s kind of my flexible eye in the landscape which has to cover traits like sharp enough photos, being able to observing environmental objects in detail and using those photos for expertises as well, being light weighted because of me being always on my feet with it. it has to be reliable at the same time and especially without attracting attention because of the many distrustful and therefore sometimes angry land owners i have to deal with. and all those traits it covers perfectly for me. just buy all batteries you can get for it if you do time-consuming stuff like me, but that technical need lies in the nature of the whole situation and the device. in my profession as a landscape ecologist there‘s simply no better drone for my special needs😊.
Can you switch you camera control and flying to inverted?
Got the mini 3 pro now for a few weeks, amazing how simple to fly…. Now focusing on the rc control … thanks for all your tutorials about this drone!
It’s a pleasure Paul 😊
Just got my mini 3 pro, had some toy drones in the past, i think the mini 3 is ideal for anyone wanting to get a bit more seriously into drones before moving up to the bigger more professional stuff.
Hi mate do you know how to stop the videos splitting into multiple files ?
With the RC controller do you need to connect it to a phone at all?
No
My question could you use drone link software with the remote with the screen include in the remote ? Thank you for your nice vidéo love it
one question which is better phantom 4 pro or mini 3 pro ? need to know im about to buy me a phantom 4 pro
Thanks for the informative long term review.
Do the Mini 3 Pro photo pre-sets work in De Vinci Resolve?
They sure do 😊
I used my Mavic 2 pro for over a year but recently changed it for Mini 3 pro. I know the Mavic2pro is a way better in many cases but the weight and size and all those restrictions pushed me to sell my 4 year old m2pro. Not to mention as a photographer I had to carry a bakcpack with m2p with additional stuff PLUS heavy camera bag with lenses. Feels so lighter now.
Does the drone have 10 bit or 8 bit colour?
It has 10bit colour in d-cine
Can you please make a video how to use your presetting for pictures and video. Thanks 👍🏼
Just got a wide lens but not used as to windy hear in Clacton and bad wet weather
Can you shoot photos in manual mode or is it limited to auto? Many thanks.
Never mind about the drone. I want to thank you for that great video. I lived on the GC base when it was SAC 1955-1958. Thanks gain for the memories. I got loads of stories living on the base and traveling with the baseball team over a lot of Europe AFbases.
Awesome thank you
love all the content bro and the fact you're a RAAAAAAAIIIIIDEEEEEERS !!!!☠ fan is an added compliment 🤙🏻
Hell yes !
@@DMProductions hell yeah bro raiders won again on a overtime game and to add a coin toss win too for the second time
...RAAAAAIIIIIDEEEERS!!!
Life is full of compromises. It’s up to the individual to decide which end of the compromise they are comfortable with. The features(not gimmicks)that DJI has packed into the Mini 3 Pro makes it a no brainer for anyone contemplating getting a drone in this day and age - it’s a quality product in spite it’s sub-250gm weight. Treat it as you would any precision appliance. It’s not a toy👍👍
Just a final word about its stability in light windy conditions - try taking one of those wide panoramas where it takes 21 shots in sequence(7 x3) and it’ll look like you had it on a tripod!
Very true Mr 👍
Thank you so much for your video! It was so helpful!
Thank you 😊
whats the best price available for the mini 3 pro in the UK pls? cheapest i have seen is £844 on amazon uk
thats the best price or £859 with a free shoulder bag currently at DJI click.dji.com/AMfc8QWyi3e8IETKXffYTg?pm=link
i love the mini 3 pro i bought your luts and they are great i bought the fly more kit plus the batteries average 36 to 40 minutes keep up the good work
Thanks so much for the support 🍻
You trying to say something about my baby Darren. Yes I’m all fixed and up and flying again. The dressing is off my ear where they cut the cancer out. So it’s just a matter of waiting for the stitches to dissolve.
Right you. Picking on my baby. It’s a fantastic drone as you say and does everything I require. I suppose if your a pro like yourself, you would automatically use the drone suitable for that work. If it’s going to be very windy you would use your monster, me I wouldn’t fly until the weather was suitable for my baby mini 3 pro.
Great to hear from you again. Can’t wait for more great ideas and information. Another brilliant packed video tonight. Thank you. Until your next one. Bye for now my friend
Wally is so protective of his mini 3 pro !! Haha, any way buddy I'm glad the operation went well, really happy for you !
@@DMProductions thank you Darren. I’m pleased we can have a laugh together. While I’m on, do you recommend any sun shields for the Mini 3 pro Darren. Take care my friend
do you need a flyer and operator id with this ?
Hia mate, can you use the new controller on the mini 3 pro on a DJI mini 2 ?
Have a question on the Mini 3 regular batteries. I have the regular batt and charger unit, will the larger cap batt fit in the same charger unit that the regular batt came with?
Yes, it’s exactly the same form factor as the standard battery, the same charger works. It just weighs more, will put your done over 249 grams.
@@robertmauhar3361 Thanks for the info. Appreciate it. Cheers
I have no experience with drones and I am really considering buying the mini 3. Should I?
Great option yes
Still flying with the Mavic pro 1st edition. Was considering about upgrading it but the Mavic 3 cine is super expensive not until the classic version came out to the market. The Mjni 3 pro looks promising, standing side by side to the Mavic 3 classic, I’m in a hard situation considering about it.
Hi is it possible to use the mini indoors
This is my first drone and I love it.
I does everything I need and it fits in my pocket!!!
awesome ! Glad you like it
My was after 2 weeks on service. Both electronic was defect. Now works great.. really good product
Darren will the dji rc get the update for running in mini 2???
Doubt it sorry
Noob question can still pair the drone with the phone app ? Like if you break the controller with screen
sure if you have the RC-N1 controller
this is what puts me off with this drone its to light and i live in west wales where there big mountains and lots of winds so im tempted to get the licenses and buy the mavic classic instead
Thanks for the honest review,and yes I live UK also,and wind can be a nightmare for most outdoor hobbies,have just bought this mini 3 Pro and look forward to flying it,had bebop 2,so excited for this drone,thanks again for heads up regarding strong wind,and will avoid flying in those conditions,your drone footage looks fantastic,can't wait to try this out
Your preset filter package your selling, is it easy to use? Like anyone can just drag me drop or follow instructions?
yes the Drone luts are specially made for the Min3 Pro in either Normal or D-cine colour profile
Just bought the 3 pro combo with landing pad during this video.
I just ordered mine. How do I transfer the data from my drone to my pc?
There's no doubt that this drone was, and to some extent still is a game changer. If dji give out a firmware update that enables the cruise control feature thats now on the mavic classic and others that would be fantastic.
Absolutely! It’s a really great drone !
@@RickMcGovern hi buddy, no not on mini 3pro
Brother you from stoke on trent??😜
Ive all ready got the luts for the mini 3 pro
But it won't let me download it on my phone
What do I need to download it
Hey you
Need to unzip the folder when downloaded. If you can’t use a computer search in the App Store for a free unzip app to unzip it for you
How does one change that batteries in the remote. I think quality control messed up bad and sent me a remote control with no door to change the batteries in the remote. Should I send it back. If the missing battery door is part of the design, then it's a poor design for the money. How do I fix the problem.
🤣 you charge the remote with a usb c cable just like the drone
I use the N1 controller, coupling it with old Samsung C9pro and the newer S20ultra seems to give different distance is it by coincidence or there's an effect of how the mini 3 fly ? The old phone I get 650m before signal loss and RTH acrivated while the S20U more then 1km and still going with screen recorder of the phone set to recording
i have the mavic air 1 and have been looking at this drone. the convenience of the screen on controller is the main thing swaying me. also im finding it difficult to fly my drone due to certain restrictions in place. would this be a worthy upgrade for someone just looking to fly from their garden and also take pictures at car meets and stuff like that? i have been wary using the mavic air due to not being able to fly over people. thanks in advance
Nice shots of Los Gigantis, great info, thanks.
0:03 i really suprised when i see that view from Antalya-Turkey, cos i living near to where u shot that scene🎉:)
I upgraded from Mavic Mini to Mini3Pro and Im so happy with this drone. In holiday at the Beach I had no issues in small windy conditions. But for really strong wind I think Mini3Pro is not made for. But all in all a great drone, especially in combo with the RC Controller👌🏻Cool video, thx for your thoughts!👍🏻
Hi, does your DJI Mini 3 Pro Creator Combo Luts + Presets work with camtasia? Cheers
I assume some footage in this video was shot on a different drone?
hi Respected Darren my drone is locked i can only able to fly in my Area or County of Harleysville, PA and unable to fly in out like 20 or 30 miles away from my location kindly guide me
Would the dji mini 2 still be worth buying as I'd struggle to afford the mini 3 Pro...
Sure is it’s great
I like the 3 but, getting it to follow me mode is glitchy, on the stand alone RC the maps don't appear as they do on the phone-connected RC, the transfer from it to a phone with QR code link to download is rubbish,
What is the range of it?
You have to shoot in H.265 to get 10bit or am I wrong?
Hello mate, I've been looking at this drone for a while now, and I am looking at it for my content. I do have a question though on one of the bad points. What winds MPH maximum would you say I shouldn't fly the drone? I do alot of content on the beach and don't really go out and film anything over 15MPH anyway. I just wanted to know what is the maximum wind speed this drone could still be comfortable to fly with? Thank you
Wind resistance would always be the major shortcoming of light >250g drones as light drones tend to get easily jostled by the wind. However, as a newbie on drones, I am thoroughly impressed by the stealth and performance of the Mini 3 Pro for its' price that it outweighs the weakness on windy conditions. Definitely a HIT for me! Loving my Mini 3 Pro since the day I bought it.
me too :)
Ok I’m getting it anyways …
Upgrading from a spark. Hope to have one by next Thursday.
I dunno what to do either the mavic 3 classic or mini 3 pro, and as I live in London I’m swaying towards the mini 3 pro just because of the restrictions on the classic 😢
My opinion: Yes, mini 3 pro. You won't regret that. I also live in the city.
Are the controllers swappable?
Will you be doing a review of DJI Mavic mini 4 pro? Do you know when they might have a release date for the 4 pro?
Regarding wind, I use Drone Aware and know way ahead if I will be able to fly somewhere or not, and if not, I choose a different location for that day. Haven't really had any situation where I got to a location and could not fly because of the wind.
Great video. I share the same outlook. I've had the M3P for a months now, and I love it. The only problem is that my home area here in Israel is right at the coastline, and its generally quite windy here. Most of the times, I see the "Not Good To Fly" verdict at the tope of the UAV Forecast app. So, I'll probably get the Mavic 3 Classic as soon as it becomes available here. I'm scheduled to visit Iceland later this winter, and was quite concerned about how the M3P will handle the conditions there. Now, the Classic will probably accompany me on that trip.
My biggest gripe is when you hit return to home it flies up as high as it can and takes it's sweet time to come back. So frustrating especially if your battery is low.
Isnt that a setting that can be adjusted in the DJI Fly App? Setting the RTH altitude, I know the Mavic Air 2 has that ability.
great as usual , thanks from thailand❣
Thank you 😊
I bought one for Black Friday for my girlfriend. She put it in snow for take off and landing… just once though. It should be fine right ?
Good to fly around town and yes you're right you do need its bigger brother for the windy day and vacation trips. Thanks for the video, always good review
Thanks for watching!
Him: "The drone can't handle the wind"
B-roll: Smooth drone shot over the top of the mountain
Him: "Mavic is better against wind"
B-roll: Mavic struggles to hover in windy situation
If your only issues is the "wind problem", that makes me buy this drone even more!
Thx for the review! Now I know for sure that this is the drone I want to own!
