That’s awesome. What a great great deal.

Very helpful video. I had the Mini 3 Pro in my cart and dropped down to the Mini 3. As an owner of several other drones the additional features just weren’t worth it for me as this drone is really just going to be for international travel shots.

Perfect, answered all my questions without alot of extra crap. Thanks

I watch a lot of these channels to get different viewpoints on the new and upcoming equipment and of course I take them all with a grain of salt. I know that it is by coincidence that everyone comes out on the same day. But Sir, I find your channel and comments to always be a step above all the others, and I mean that sincerely!!!!! Please keep up the great work and Merry Christmas and I’m looking forward to the new year and seeing your videos!!!!

Two of the best mini drones available right now! I'm glad they had the Mini 3 before Christmas come about

So pretty much the differences are, double the iso for the pro model, no sensors for obstacle avoiding for the regular model, no vertical panoramic pictures for the regular model, no Timelapse’s for the regular model but surprisingly longer fly time, thank you ❤

You can make your own panoramic pics by taking up to 5 pics, overlapping them by a 1/3 and then merge them together.

Just purchased Pro 3 to add to my existing fleet of Zoom 2, Mini 2 & Phantom. DJI takes my money everytime :)

Best comparison between the two! Thanks.

July 2023. Thanks for the vid. Actually I am just upgrading from the Spark. It works well for me. However, the "Mini" flight time is a big improvement. I was headed for a Mini2, after talking to an owner but with the advantage of looking up on the Mini3 being the deciding factor. The obstacle avoidance really hasn't proved useful for my purposes.

You always do great overviews and comparisons. Well done, Shawn. Cheers from Wisconsin.

Thanks for the helpful review Shawn! The Mini 3 Pro is one of the best drones DJI has made so far though the Mini3 is also becoming one of the brand's topnotchers. There's always something remarkable about all-around rugged recorders and the Mini 3 is that drone!

Brilliant informative video mate thank you , you have explained perfectly what I wanted to know before I buy one. Kev. Just subscribed.👍👍

Thank you brother love what you’re doing this is exactly the video I needed to make a decision on which drone to purchase as a first timer I’m gonna go with the pro I like that avoidance detection 💪🙏👍

Got caught off guard by that shot from London, Ontario... was wondering why it looked familiar :) (Lived there for a few years). Feeling nostalgic now. Great vid, thanks for doing this. The Mini 3 is discounted heavily at the moment in the US, so was thinking of grabbing it; but I don't think I can live without the Pro features so going to wait.

THANK YOU

Thanks Shawn! One more detail about panorama shots... The Mini 3 pro stitches 360 sphere photos and all other pano's into one single jpg file that's readily uploadable/viewable on social media or pc. The Mini 3, just like Mini 2, stores 36 individual unstitched jpg files into a panorama subdirectory. You then have to stitch the collection yourself using a separate app such as dji media maker, which yields a 360 deg cylinder, not a sphere. The only way I know to view a sphere shot from mini2 or mini3 is via uploading to dji skypixel. If you like to shoot panoramas, then the mini 3 pro has a HUGE advantage. No fuss, no fiddling with external apps, just view your sphere straight from the drone's sd card.

I do not miss anything from pro.

6400 instead of 3200 ISO limit does NOT mean double the ISO RANGE(!) See, the Range is defined by the number of stops covered. Starting with both at ISO 100, 3200 means having 6 Stops Range. 6400 adds just one more stop. You basically only win 1/6 of range. Also, smaller resolution (12MP) sensor means bigger pixels, meaning less noise. I would dare to claim you can get the mini 3 to capture the same level of detail at least, when you push 3200 ISO footage to 6400 in post.

Very good information.

Hi Shawn, I really like your videos & they inspired me to buy a Mini 3 (yesterday!). I ordered the DJI RC controller & updated the controller & battery firmware (version 1.03.06). Trying to figure out how to control (lower) the horizontal speed. I found the tab for "Control", "Gain & Tuning" but instead of "Max Horizontal Velocity" it shows "Max Angular Velocity". Are they the same thing? Thanks for your great vids!

Great video thanks mate, just a quick question; do you know which one is better between the mini 3 pro and the mavic 3? (the larger one)

@StrikeWarlock

Жыл бұрын

They each have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Mavic 3 has better video and image quality straight out of the drone due to its Hasselblad camera and side obstacle avoidance. The Mini 3 Pro though weighs pretty light so you don't even need to register it if you're not using the Pro battery. You only pretty much need TRUST for it. Travel wise, the Mavic 3 just can't win since geofencing will automatically restrain its capabilities as per the drone regulations of the country you're going to, namely Europe. The Mini 3 Pro just doesn't have these issues due to its weight.

Just the basic Mini 3....because of battery life ...I don't want all that extra stuff from the mini 3 pro because I'm not a professional drone pilot I'm just a casual flyer..

The cheaper Mini3 is a great option for those new to flying drones considering they'd probably get a bunch of other accessories and essentials for their drone too.
