    I dunno, you said "the mini drones don't get damaged very much because they're so small" and I didn't really agree with that. Not sure if that's what you meant :) I can do plenty of damage to my mini 3 in a what seemed like an insignificant crash that renders it unflyable. I had a little Blade Mini SR 120 or something.... very small heli, that I could crash however many times I wanted and never seem to hurt it. But I had to make sure to close the "throttle" to 0% before I hit the ground or it would shear the drive gear. But if I remembered to turn the power off right before I hit, it would survive anything!

    I've flown them all and if your gonna use a mini dji use the mini 2. It's so easy modded and the software is so easy and available to mod and delete restrictions and your able to add huge batteries getting 59 minutes of in air flight the mini 2 is the way to go. Mini 3 sucks it ain't worth a crap thats why the mini 4 replaced it in less then a year. The signal and dependability of the mini 3 was awful. I just sold my mini 2 after buying a air 3 and I kiss that air 2. I just couldn't afford to hang onto both.

    Thank you for the great video content. I’m going to be placing my order for the D4MP (DJI 4 Mini Pro) very soon. It fits so many use cases. I have learned about myself over the past drones that I have owned. I know what my use case is. I need a drone that will “fly itself”. I want to be able to have it follow me, whether from the side, front or back. I want gesture control if possible. I just love a drone that responds to my movements and flys itself. But with that said, I do want to be able to take up a controller and fly it, recording what it sees from a camera perspective. I also like the idea of FPV and will be pairing up the latest DJI Goggles with the D4MP and enjoying “flight” purely for the sake of experiencing it from a first person view. Fingers crossed that it all comes together!

    Fine video! I fully agree with You! Starting with a 10 USD indoors, nervous, little drone, an E58 was ditched... Going for a "real drone" the Mini 3 Pro and it's RC was bought. Never regretted it. Getting accustomed, more foto capability was asked for. Due to the nature of the flights a Mavic 3 Pro and RC Pro was bought due to the cameras. Mini 3 Pro is a really good beginners drone that's always useful. For close area recordings a wide angel is now available. Such a lens for Mavic costs 3 times that price. Having full certificate a few PLUS batteries are also used.

Now it will be much easier to take both with us on vacation to "..fly under the radar..." Still waiting for the remote ID's I ordered long ago for my other drones but I'm comfortable that both the 3 and the 4 pro will fit the bill for us when we go on our vacations and just general everyday use. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to produce this fine review!

I dont intend to become Pro with this but just to take some incredible outdoor shots as I do a lot of hiking and cycling. Having the hand held is perfect and better than using your phone. The big tip was go to the DJI Refurbished Site! I could not get myself to pull the trigger for a new one with controller. Got a good price on a Refurbished with controller. Big Thanks.

    In Controls max out the 'angular velocity' for playing. Standard battery in a Mini 3 (not s pro) I get 4-6km of travel-distance in S mode usually [I'm always near 600-800ft VLOS]. I Kinda wish they sold a version with an X wing setup instead of the D-cat, if that would make the drone fly more freely. It seems like they could design it where if the props in an X configuration would be in view of the camera then maybe the zoom could be high enough to allow for some pics with no X-config props in the image, though maybe the props would disrupt the vision-flight-controls or whatever the tech.

    The mini 3 pro was the first to really make an awesome portable drone, and I loved it when it came out. I still have one. I haven't touched it once since getting the mini 4 pro. The flight experience is better with the mini 4 pro, and the mini 4 pro is better in every way. I don't think there is one thing that the mini 3 pro does better than the mini 4 pro. Every small complaint that I had about the mini 3 pro was addressed in the mini 4 pro. These are the things I use... - Stream to youtube with the controller with a screen - Better color profiles (HLG is so much more useful than DLog-M and D-Cinelike) - AR guide when using return to home - 360 degree obstacle avoidance - Better Active Track - Waypoints - Higher frame rates - Same camera quality as Air 3. - Night Mode Besides saving money, there is no reason to get a mini 3 pro now, and when trying to save money there are better options I think. The DJI Mini 4 Pro is pretty much better in every way. If I wanted to save money, I would get a regular mini 3. I get that the mini 3 pro WAS my favorite drone (I had 2), and since its been out for 2 years, of course I have a lot of flight time on it. I would bet 2 years from now, you would see that its flight time drops, and mini 4 pro flight time goes up, as its only been around for a few months.

    I have to say the dynamic range is better on the Mini 4 Pro than the M3P. There's a lot of features on the M4P that I wish I had, home point on the screen. better controller, cruise control, obstacle avoidance , bottom led light, etc. Whenever I take video or photos on a darker day, mixed sun though I use my Autel Nano Plus. It's sat lock is awesome and color science is so good on auto. My flies flawlessly and I don't color grade at all so out of camera is what I'm after. I do like the built in display with the M3P though. I will probably upgrade to the M5P, unless the M4P goes on sale. Autel missed the boat on a built in screen. DJI tech is awesome.

No. So I ended up getting new mini 4 pro fly more plus. Other than the slow shipping on refurbs, it’s also the mini 3 pro controller with screen will not be compatible if I upgrade to mini 4 pro.

    Just my thoughts. Because of the international drone laws, all drones are now in categories. So instead of drone customers buying a drone based on the most expensive being, the biggest and most expensive drone. Now the trend is to have a sub 250g drone with a camera which is nearly as good as the camera in an Air 3, and the Air 3 has a camera which is nearly as good as the Mavic 3 Pro in some situations. Keep in mind that some buyers in some locations maybe limited to just 250 gram drones. Regarding Obstacle avoidance, is useful. Just remrmber you can use propeller gaurds, if you think you are going to fly in risky areas. Nobody talks about this. So I think the Mini series is a very important and popular segment of the drone market place. However I would love to see 1. A miniature Dji Inspire to be sub 900 grams with inter changeable lenes. ( I am just dreaming) 2. HDR for panoramas. 3. Focus stacking 4. In camera colour profiles for different lighting situations. 😊

    I am glad I have rid on my m3p drone because normally I will fly with std battery and a landing gear to protect my camera/gimbal/props. The landing gear makes it over 250g. I feel the FAA needs to clarify in a AR their statement in part 89,I think, about manufacturers who have turned on rid , then PIC cannot turn off. (expressed in part89 as a tradition state from on to off as on/off). That is clear and DJI is following that. However everyone agrees that it is the PIC who is ultimately responsible and so has the final say in the equipment needed for a mission. If I have rid on my drone and I decide I need rid turned on. Then when I have a std battery I should be able to turn rid off/on as is (mission, weight, part 107, etc) needed. Other airmen (crop dusters, etc) do not require rid (transponder) yet are not being kept from using one.
