Hi Russ, I agree, range test aren't important but if Tesla says their electric cars will go 500 miles between charges we want proof. If DJI says mini 3 will go 10 miles we want proof. A youtuber named Fly Zone has listed you as an influencer not willing to test its range out. Please use a spotter and do a range test for us..

@@alienpixelgaming3803 Range tests are very illegal as per the FAA in the U.S. Flying a drone beyond where you can see it in the sky is strictly forbidden. Do I fly beyond? Of course, everyone does, but putting it on KZread is asking for an immediate email from the FAA and a possible fine. I'm not willing to put my business at risk to appease others. A spotter is not legal either. The verbiage explicitly states that the spotter MUST be in immediate proximity of the pilot in command. There's no getting around it. Other KZreadrs will do a true range test, I guarantee it. Dustin Dunhill does one with every drone in Hawaii. Watch his channel if you want to see a real range test. The FAA has ignored range tests up to this point, but I don't plan to be the first one to post evidence online.

Thanks for this very detailed video

Thanks so much for this presentation. Awesome work, as always. I’ve been flying and photographing/videoing ever since my Phantom 4K Pro which is at least 5 years past now. My own Mini Pro 3 arrived via UPS this very morning. I’m just stunned at how small it is, and how light. My wife (who also flies) and I decided to order this little drone as soon as it was announced because the specs looked so impressive. DJI has always pretty much told the truth about their products, so we took a chance on it before seeing anyones reviews. Looks like we made the right choice. And we’re getting some help right out of the gate from this video. Thanks again, Russ. You always come through with “the good stuff” in your videos.

Agreeing with several commenters here, this is among the best overall “reviews” of any product I’ve ever seen! I owned (and lost) a Mavic in 2015,…it’s now finally time to do this again and I believe you’ve convinced me that this little guy is the way to go…Thank you!

Thank you, Russ for the great and informative video. I live in ND too and have had very few opportunities to take my Mini 2 out because of the weather conditions lately. That is just a testament to how amazing the Mini 3 is, to be able to keep the image so steady in the wind conditions during our blizzards. Thank you again, and I am looking forward to more of your reviews.

Great video, man! More in-depth and intelligently made than most of the top tier videographer reviews. Well done!

What a brilliant review! With the authorities always tightening regulations on safety, this is also a serious professional tool if flying in conjested areas. As a commercial pilot, your review has convinced me that I need one. Many thanks!

Russ, you are the go to guy for honest reviews. You continuously provide well thought out content. Thanks for the hard work and incredible amounts of information. I don't feel I can make really informed choices without watching your content first. Keep up the great work!

Watched a ton of Mini 3 Pro videos today, but wanted to say that your video breakdown was the best of the bunch between the personalized sections, unique tips, and great detail. Being a cinematographer with a love for drone work on the side, the technical focus was greatly appreciated.

As a real pilot, you'll probably feel quite "underwhelmed" because of just how easy it is to control these modern drones. The tech made it as easy as in a video game, I'm definitely not complaining but don't expect to need any critical skills on the joysticks ;)

Well, I had already purchased the mini 3 before I watched your video. And it is very informative. Been flying for just under a month and I discovered the drone does not see white and was playing around a garage door with obstacle avoidance the drone would have crashed if I did not stop it. And I thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos.

I flew a drone for the first time last week and before I did that, I searched for videos to get a little bit familiar with it before hand. Your channel and approach are the best I've seen so far. Congrats and thanks. Cheers

First of all- thorough, yet easily digestible video. Thank you. But honestly, I most appreciated when you came to the point of the range test and brought up how conducting that would obviously necessitate breaking the LOS regulation. I am by nature, kind of a rule breaker, a yahoo, a “freedom” seeker. But the big takeaway of my actual classroom Part 107 test prep course (the instructor also holds a private pilot license with instrument and multi engine rating) is how to fully appreciate and actualize the proper pilot mindset. Responsibility, humility, excellence. Dropping the ego and following the regulations even though you probably won’t get caught seems to be the biggest hurdle to the recent convergence of healthy drone regulation and embedded electronic nanny tech. So, I respect your attitude and therefore subbed.

Thank you for your diligence on this, Russ! You really paid attention to detail and passed it along effectively. It looks like the Mini 3 Pro handled flying in the snow just fine, despite its apparent lack of an IP rating. No moisture problems afterwards?

Excellent video Russ! Super informative, by far the best video i've seen so far about this drone.

Just received my DJI Mini 3 Pro (DJI RC) and looking forward to giving it a go. I have been using the DJI Mini 2 for the last year and it a nice drone. Thanks the time and effort you put into this... It has just confirmed my purchase was a good one.

Thank you for your review and update of this DJI Minin 3 Pro drone. The review was spot on, and has convinced me to order one now. I will continue to watch you videos, and I hope you share more information with us on this new device.

My first thought regarding set filming moves was that it would be great if the programmable buttons could record several moves - like a macro in excel. So press record, do the moves, then repress the button to store a fixed flying combination, Alternatively it would be great if the software was opensource so developers could add functionality. It looks like a great drone and I have pre-ordered. Thanks for the video

Thanks for all the time you take to provide me the info I need to make an informed decision. Really, thanks very much.

I personally LOVED going vertical on my Mavic Pro for my photos. It's great to see it back and this may motivate me to get rid of my Mavic 2 Pro amongst other things. I like making photos for my own personal use and to share with my community as a hobbyist. I've never been interested in going commercial, I honestly fly just to reset from life. Strongly considering this drone...

Prop arms are to accommodate the larger props, and to keep the props out of the camera view when the camera is looking up 60 degrees. The larger props allow for a lower RPM to hover, which makes it quieter, and more efficient. My old 2015 Yuneec Typhoon had huge 11" props, also one of the quietest drones I've flown because of the slower prop speed.

After doing some research on drones for the past few weeks and joining several groups, asking questions on drones for beginners, a few people said the dji mini 2 would be a good starter drone given my budget I mentioned in the messages, one person piped in saying if I could stretch my budget a bit he recommended the dji mini 3 pro and a couple of others piped in with the same. I just ordered the mini 3 today and it will arrive on Wednesday. I've taken the TRUST test and have certificate, I'm considering testing for the part 107 and know it's going to take some time to study up for that. This was a very informative video, thank you for putting all this information together.

Excellent presentation Thank You Russ! One of the thing DJI could improve and make their interface even more convenient and fun to work with would be to enhance their programming features for waypoints. Adding 3 key elements: GPS coordinates, point recording while flying and allowing to setup fly altitude lower than 2m. Ideally, this could be done on the remote and on a computer through the personal DJI account. I am struggling with few requests asking to fly with different constraints and such feature would help tremendously if available.

Great work Russ. You are doing an yeoman service for this fraternity. Thanks so much.

Amazing video, new to the channel but 100% helped me make my first drone purchase so much easier. 🤙🙌

6:47 Actually, overheating is to be expected when the drone is not flying. The cooling system is relying on the propellers to be spinning in order to get the proper cooling it requires. Regarding shooting in 4K60 on a hot day, I flew continuously and recorded everything until all my 3 batteries were empty and there have been no overheating warnings or anything, so I'm guessing it's fine. Thanks for taking the time and making this video!

In a way, sideways obstacle tracking would be more useful than forwards. It’s easiest to avoid things going forwards as you can see them, and the most effect drone shots are usually sideways, backwards or upwards movements.

Not when the drone is tracking you as you are, say, biking. It needs front obstacle sensors to know when to swerve around trees. Hell, that's the only reason I even want a drone with obstacle sensors.

I was impressed. Thanks! This was a well organized and thorough review.

I would absolutely love a quickshot mode like rotate around an object where it will rotate a little longer. It would be nice to be able to edit rotations around objects into endless loops without it speeding up and slowing down at the loop point. In other words; it would be nice if you could create a loop point where the speed is constant.

The two other less expensive offerings "DJI Mini 3 Pro" for $759 and the "DJI Mini 3 Pro (No RC)" for $669 won't start shipping until August 2022. The lower banner on the DJI page shows this "DJI Mini 3 Pro (No RC) will be available starting in August of 2022." The only way to get a DJI Mini 3 Pro before the late part of summer in North America is to buy one with the DJI RC controller. A bit disappointing.

Thank you for your video, very comprehensive. I'm considering this drone for the fact that it's sub 250 grams and yet still has some amazing qualities (considering its size, of course). That said, I'm a bit confused about the geozone. I'm in Canada, and the bottom line here is that a micro drone is "allowed" to fly pretty much anywhere, but for emergencies (forest fire zones etc.), and still not allowed to fly in close proximity to a military base. Barring those few restrictions, you "can" (whether you "should" or not is really THE question!) legally fly almost anywhere. So, why does DJI enforce geozones on a drone that really doesn't have any issues with legal flight? I realize you aren't DJI and may not know the answer, but I'd appreciate your thoughts on this regardless. It makes no sense to me. It defeats the purpose (in my mind) of having a sub 250 gr drone.

I'll disagree with needing lateral sensors instead of rear sensors. Both times I've crashed my Mavic Pro is when I was flying backward. I'm looking forward to this drone being available in a few months.

Look forward to watching more videos about the MINI 3 PRO. Thank you.

The 3DR Solo drone had a quick shot called Zipline. If I remember correctly, you could set the zip line vertical, horizontal, all varying degrees of angles, and vary the speed at which the drone ran along the line, and it would keep the subject in frame, even if it was moving. Would like to see DJI add something like that.
