DJI just made the Mini 3 Pro a lot more "PRO"!

FEB 2023 - LATEST FIRWARE: • What's going on with t...
After 3 and a half weeks of making a really well-crafted review the day after it goes live DJI release new firmware which makes something that I say no longer accurate. This was after spending 2 hours talking in-depth with them about what is going on with the camera and what it was capable of!
As KZread won't let you replace videos and I wasn't going to lose all those lovely comments by re-uploading it, the only way to make sure people who watch my reviews have completely accurate info was by making this quick follow up.
When looking at the bitrate in the graphic showing 10 bit I blurred it after uploading as it was for a black image after updating so what it was showing wasn't correct. The bitrate is the same as 8 bit which is around 90mbps in 4K 24p etc H265.
Also, it should say 16.7 million colours for 8 bit, not 1.67. Typo!
Make sure you watch the full review, I am very proud of it, it's probably one of the best reviews I've made. It will also be invaluable to you. What this video covers is important but there is a hell of a lot more in the main review!

Wow! I just found this channel, and I'm completely blown away! As a professional photographer, I've seen thousands of hours of equipment reviews, and I have to say that this was refreshing to watch. An extremly professional well put together video. Lovely music, great editing, warm and calm sense of humour, a ton of knowledge and a perfect speaking voice. You just got yourself a subscriber. 😍😊
A masterclass in how to make a dry subject entertaining!

Make sure you watch the full proper review here as this video covers only two things: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWmJm5WSnqXTdZs.html This is a typo in this where I say 8 bit is 1.67 million colours, it is 16.7 million. I also blurred the bitrate for 10 bit as that was for a black image so it wasn’t correct. It’s the same as 8 bit so around 90mbps. Make sure you watch until the very end...I do like my MCU post-credit scenes! Please remember my sense of humour when it comes to that scene! :)

Thankyou for the update Philip. I only recently found your page and just love the quality of your posts. You get a review, a story, a cinema experience all rolled in to one. I have subscribed and look forward to your upcoming posts. We'll done mate, and thanks again 👍
Super fun, engaging and full of heart. Thank you, Philip. The 10bit reveal was a WOW moment; the closing credits left me with another big smile. Love your tasteful colour grades!
I don't know how I've not seen your channel before but heck have I been missing out, so extremely well put together, like watching a 'proper' high budget TV doc without the stupid adverts 😀 New subscriber here for sure, and as for the MP3 I'm sold, just need to get rid of the M2 now to raise funds 😂

Wow 10 bit on this drone ! That’s Amazing !
Oh, I wasn’t expecting 10 bit on this Mini 3 Pro. Glad I grabbed one. Thanks for the update and the inspiration Philip… and great work as always! Cheers.
Absolutely loved the Chris Broad cameo. As always Phil, the previous review was incredible as well as emotional, glad to see a new video from you on it.
Thanks a lot for the update! It's driving me nuts, one day: "Air 2s for me", next day "Mini 3 Bro", back and forth, so undecided! But if they keep adding stuff that tiny thing will get really hot!

Yeah, I am in the same boat, I think it is really down to the weight if you live in certain countries that have those regulations that may be the deciding factor for me!
It might no longer be a coincidence between you and DJI. Guess I should thank DJI for giving me two Philip Bloom videos for each drone. :) Great work, as always! :)
Thanks ever so much for people like you delving into the technical depths, finding possible culprits and even giving feedback to the manufacturer! And kudos to DJI for actually listening and trying to improve things! Although I usually prefer shorter "to-the-point" videos, I must say I enjoy yours - they so much show you’re loving what you do. Great shots, great attitude.
It'll be interesting when they release the SDK for this model and apps like Litchi can get their hands on it allowing you to adjust the sharpness/contrast/etc. That combined with the now 10-bit capabilities seems like it's going to make this sub-1k drone a serious flying pro-ish camera. Oh a side note, Your reviews from a photographic and cinematic point of view is done extremely well and no skimping on the details of the review itself. It's definitely something for me to aspire to.
Both this and the original review are absolutely brilliant. Thank as ever. Time to finally 'upgrade' from my Mavic Pro that has served me so well. Hope the back is better....
Again a Great review of the DJI mini 3 pro. These 2 videos are quite relaxing to rewatch all over. And i love the way you represented the "tripod" mode. Got some chuckles from that one. Kudos. And thank you for the great videos. You got me convinced on getting the mini 3 pro.
You’re the first in my feed to report that. Well done. That is a confidence building improvement. It’s nice when manufacturers keep those firmware updates coming.
This is awesome news. Thanks for sharing. I encourage everyone to watch the original video. It's magical, entertaining, and oh yeah, a pretty nice review of the Mini 3 Pro.
This is great, thanks for the update!
After watching your Mini 3 Pro review video, I decided to get one. Awesome shots! Beautiful beach! Thanks for sharing! 👍
That's a really nice "Catio" for your flock Philip! Very nice also that you share your expertise with DJI - They are getting free expert consultation it seems to me. Oh, and, after flying my P4 into a 200' tree and having my backup Mini 2 shot down (welcome to America) the Mini 3 Pro looks like a winner here. I just love this subscription. Many Thanks, and to the cats of Skiathos!
Philip your videos just keep getting better all the time! Thanks 🙏
Impressive video. Fantastic detail. I'm now going to look into how to grade my footage. Thank you and nice kitties :)
Really enjoying your reviews, the cats, the beautiful scenery, the Chinese funny whispers and the music. And listening to your calming voice. Very very good. Keep them coming pls: both the reviews and the firmware upgrades! ;-)
This is the second video made by you I’ve seen. The lovely music, clean visuals and your charm has made me subscribe this time. Great work!!!!

I’m so glad to live in a time with Philip present in my life. What a GOAT.
Hello Philip I have never seen such a beautiful and aesthetic video in ALL the drones posts I have seen for a long time...!! And VERY educative as well for the technics of the image quality. I have been flying a AIR2S for to years, and now just bought a mini 3 PRO (waiting for the delivery...). I would love to see from you a "best quality video tuto experience (image and shots effects)" with the mini 3 for those like me that are very familiar with drones, but who are lacking the "artistic gene" and video/image technic you have. Thanks again for your publication....and keep enjoying Greece😀
When clicking on the video I thought "Ha, can't be 10 bit. That would be too good" DAMN
Awesome video. The ending gave me the gift of a wide smile. Wonder if it was comedy (great comedy) or real. Thank you, Mr. Bloom
This drone is now 'Just PRO Enough'. Thanks for advocating for us PB!
Thanks for the update Phil, I'll defo get one soon.
Many thanks for a kind and, as usual, eminently well narrated review/update.
Holy crap…..that’s a HUGE difference. That definitely moves the needle for me. Now I can’t logically consider any other drone.
Great video …. Thx for the info .. mines on order … keep more coming 👍
Well, as other stated, you are genius! So glad I just found you! Definitely a breath of fresh air from all the other reviewers!
Thanks Philip. You are head and shoulders above the rest. I feel like I’ve been to the movies after watching. Very clever. Please make some more.

You're video are always so pro and cinematic!
Fantastic video, I recieve this drone a couple of hours ago and am new to it them (not new to photography and I have a little experience in film making). I used to follow you a few years ago when I dipped my toe in to the world of film making with DSLRs. This has rekindled my desire to make videos and I am so glad that you are making great content with this. I hope to learn more from you again.
i appreciate the artistry in your videos. so creative
Look what happens when a Master deals with what is really worth the drones: The camera and the quality !! It is extremely interesting that Mr. Bloom, with his prestige and knowledge, "clarifies" these difficult issues. After deciding to deal with drones, I look forward to the presentation of other companies, e.g. Autel, for consistency, as it does with the cameras it presents (Canon, Sony, Nicon, etc). I say this with a lot of love and respect, I can not imagine that there is an exclusive contract with Dji ....❤️👌🇬🇷
Always most enjoyable! This on the day I waffled on the Mini 3 Pro and ordered an Air 2S! 😂 It was on sale and I could get it plus it just looks formable and seems to be broadly loved. Thanks as always.

I subscribed :) - 10bit (got overly excited), if DJI can now update the software to stop so many disconnections flying just under 1 mile away, this will truly be some piece of kit! :)
Can't wait for the catio build video on the cat channel!
Love your humorous take on this and I'm thrilled that my Mini 3 Pro will have 10 bit when it arrives! This goes well beyond my expectations for a sub 250g drone! You may not release videos every day but your quality over quantity philosophy is fantastic. Love your work! Cheers!

You do realize making a statement like this when you're thrilled about something, of course but it will only serve to have Dji feel that they'd best not keep giving too much of a good thing, right. I mean say you're thrilled and happy etc , but please refrain from saying it's exceeding your expectations for a mini or sub 250 gram yada yada. Just a little friendly advice and imo, that which I'm sure most people struggling financially or maybe just frugal would agree... Ya don't need to suggest to a multi billion dollar co. to hold back features and or upgrades bro, they're pretty cheeky on not over giving anything away as it is so let's take what they're willing to provide without hollering out for a hard stop, lol. Happy flying regardless.

8:20 Tripod mode looks a tad bulky! 😉 Thanks for this thorough update! Here's to hoping for the real tripod mode making a comeback to the entire fleet!
I love the news update Philip. I think its become the norm to have outdated reviews with DJI, but it gives an opportunity do follow ups like this which add so much viewer value. So, I see it as a good thing. Just as long as you mention before hand that DJI always updates and that there will most likely be a revised review to you docureview with DJI drama show series. I think in future, ask for any special requests like 16K raw updates with your cats in frame next to you. The bro dudes at DJI will succumb with zero resistance. Thank you once again kind dude 😎 Also on a side note, I dont think DLog is necessary for the dynamic range capability of the Mini 3, as long as the D-Cinelike is closer to Dlog than it is rec709. I think its a good sweet spot 👌
Well, there we are eh! A Master Class in chatting up DJI. I've just added two more bits to the fire! An Antarctic blast tossed asunder releasing a tornado, bits flying pull over the splice. Genious in the Cattery Philip.......

This is great news. I did notice some banding in your first video but reminded myself it’s a 249gm consumer level drone. Can’t wait to get my hands on one!

@@philipbloom That’s interesting. I never realized the uploading to an 8-bit service would reproduce the banding. So two questions - 1. Why doesn’t KZread support 10 bit if it supports HDR? 2. Is there a better platform to upload 10 bit footage to that won’t downgrade it to 8 bit?
just amazing
Excellent it’s getting better with key improvements being made so early into its initial release. Hopefully a sign of things to come from DJI in terms of product improvements.
Thank you Philip
Much needed update and a great review as always! Funny how on youtube banding vs no banding looks like banding vs more banding.

I don't own a drone. I don't intend to buy a drone. But I watched, and enjoyed, both of your reviews because your productions - your voice, your cinematography, your edits, your grades, your choice of music, your use of humor and your sheer enjoyment of your craft - are worthwhile regardless of the the actual 'subject' of your videos. I've been following you for years, mostly silently, and I have NEVER been disappointed by one of your videos. Your skills may be constantly improving, but your charisma has been there since the very beginning... and that can't be learned or taught. Cheers.
