A good reason as to why I trust Captain Drone’s reviews is because he reviews plenty of drones from basic to professional so his bar is raised high which allows him to be nothing but completely honest about the drone’s limitations and if they are considered good limitations or the company could make changes to better the drone.

@stephendoggett1902 жыл бұрын
One thing I dislike about the Mini 3 is the lack of quick release props. Ok, none of the sub-250g drones have quick release props, but it took me 30mins to change the props on the Mini 3. The screws were so well locked with the locktite, the little screwdriver that comes with the drone would not budge the screws. I had to get extra long pliers to grip the screws and twist them off. Thus I recommend buying a screwdriver with a larger handle for added grip and leverage. Otherwise forget about changing the props in the field.

I bought the Mini 3 Pro based on your reviews last week. Was so excited to fly it, but then i started seeing all of the bugs. The snapshot camera was okay if you tilted the camera down a little. Straight out the picture was dark. The video was horrible. At the single setting the screen was so bright that you couldn't see anything. At the 48MP setting the picture was very, very dark (during these tests, it was a bright sunny day). Called DJI tech support and they said the camera was defective and they said to send it in for repair. The drone was only 3 days old and I just returned it. I won't be buying another one mostly because I found out that all DJI drones can only track cars and people. Wanted to track my tractor and it wouldn't lock on - so see ya DJI, hello Autel!

Camera focus will come with updates... I don't sit my drone on the ground ever, so overheating waiting hasn't happened, nor while flying... Range I have had no issues, but we have VLOS laws here which means anything over a few hundred feet is moot... Flight time with my 249g batteries has been great... Yes if you try to Hover in a WIND, the life drains quickly... The other day I did a timelapse on a dead wind day and it didn't show any extreme loss of battery life...makes sense if the drone is fighting wind it would lessen life... I have a big battery on its way with my DJI credits... thats mostly for longer timelapses... I was out night flying the other night, and I illuminated my landing area... landing light just added weight not needed... Vertical mode is another thing that can and will be updated eventually...All hey are using is a stripped down android version... it can EASILY have rotate screen... if you swipe down from the top, like on an android phone, it will give you option to BRIGHTEN your screen and other SETTINGS if you hit the Gear Icon... Controller screen is about the same as the phone I was using with my mini2 ... I see no downside... I've been able to see it even in the brightest conditions which is all i care for... No Fly Zones...... these keep me from wandering where I would get fined and in trouble.... this is NOT a downside... I hate when people say it is... do you really want to fly in a airport zone and have the authorities come down on you? Fine you? Ban you from being able to ever own another drone? From ever being able to fly ANYTHING again? This makes no sense to me to call it a downside... Only people who are trying to pull illegal things are complaining of Distance beyond VLOS, and No Fly Zones...

Excellent comparison, especially the range test. One thing I would add is the smart controller causes issues if you pinch the controls (they assume thumbs) which makes it very easy to hit the menubar and pop up the dji fly app in the middle of the flight. I had to create a cover to prevent that from happening. My thumbs shake especially when I'm nervous. Wish they'd add an extra inch between the display and the controls we pinchers could rest our thumbs on the controller next to the stick. Anyway another great job.

Thaks for all the hard work not to mention the umteen cameras you set up so we get a GOOD view of what you are trying to present. I have the Mini 2 setup from a few yeara ago. It was so eay to fly and I really liked it except for one thing. Not being able to see the screen on my Android phone when the sun was out. I really was hoping the new DJI remore would let me add the Mini 2 to it but I guess that is not the case. I was thinking of buying the Mini 3 Pro a while back but hesitated. I got an email this week from DJI and was getting ready to pull the trigger when I said I need to find out what Cpat Drone said about it only to find I had watched your video a while back but forgot I did. When you showed the new remote in sunlight and the screen was black convinced me to take a pass on the buying the new setup. Guess I will wait until they improve the screen on the remote before I buy it. Thanks.

I really like this drone. You're right about the object sensors. It worked great in the forest, and you could even see the screen in there. There's a lot of bang for the buck on this little guy.

Great video, although I would not share all your findings with my thoughts after using the drone for about 30 flights now: How would you use the controller in vertical mode?!?! Don’t underestimate the power of vertical mode for photography!! It might be a gimmick for video, but it’s a gem when you love taking pictures! I was flying in 32°C -> doing a Timelapse, 15min hovering on ONE spot, zero wind… NO overheating! My iPhone 12Pro Max dims very fast, when used with my RC-N1 controller. So it’s theoretical brightness advantage against the DJI-RC with its 700nits Display just brakes away in warm sunny conditions. The DJI-RC is MUCH better than my iPhone 12 Pro Max then!

Bravo... another excellent unbiased review Steve! Love that you mentioned the weaknesses up front. There are so many apologists and fan boy reviewers that don't think we're capable of making intellegent choices, even if everything is not unicorns and rainbows. I had my Mini 3 on order and cancelled it and reordered 3-4 times. DJI kept on pushing back those Canadian deliveries so in the end purchased the Autel Nano Plus from RCGoing and got it to my door in one week! Autel reduced their price and offered their professional package cheaper than I was paying for the Mini 3 with fly more. Now if only Autel would release the active track firmware and offer a waypoint mission planning I'd be a happy camper. Really looking forward to an apples to apples comparison between the Mini 3 and the Nano +. Also would be interesting to see the Mini 3 in action when LOS is interupted (like flying around corners or flying behind a large hill or down a cliff. You do have cliffs there in the capital region don't you? ;)

i got mine Friday! i was on vaca with my mavic mini which came REAL close to death :) Filming the ocean in N California it was windy! and it wasn't coming baaaack. I remembered too late you want it in SPORTS mode comin back - it was in cinema :( So it ran outa juice, came down, riiight over the highway guardrail. I looked for it all along the highway. Finally remembered the "find my drone" thing. Got right to it, but nothing there! Then i spotted it perched ON TOP of the guard rail - a foot had snagged one side and it landed perfectly ON TOP the guard rail. Whew !!!!! Is there somethin cool i can do with 2 drones? Or should I just sell off this trusty lil warrior? That obstacle avoidance stuff looked GREAT :)

Why can’t I fly around airports? Oh cause DJI says so LoL. I think it’s great to have safety features. I have a feeling the focus will be fixed in a update. I’m not looking into purchasing a drone, but Autel might win me over next purchase

Thank you captain for the review. Gonna keep my mavic pro 2. I will but a new drone when the mavic pro 2 breaks.

Probably best to fly at night in a lower res to gain more light then at 4k. Or shoot 4k at 23.97 if the DJI defaults to 180 degree shutter angle.

I would like for you to come out with a video on asking why Dji never made a spark 2
@CAPTAINDRONE7982 жыл бұрын
I believe it had to do with marketing and country weight regulations. The Spark had great features but to make an under 250 unit they had to remove features, so they couldn’t call it the spark 2. Marketing advised them to call it a MAVIC.

Good job on part 1 👍 The overheating is a bit concerning to me, and not likely something they can remedy. Suddenly wondering if I should cancel my order and spend a little more for the Air 2s?
@TroyC682 жыл бұрын
My mini 2 overheated sitting transferring files, mini 3 hasn't really... but I learned to pull my card and use a reader with my mini 2... so the overheating is a non issue

The mini 3 is pretty much an Air2S and original MAVIC pro combined. For me, I’d take the mini 3 over the Air2S.
@briandolson29412 жыл бұрын
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for your recommendation. I am considering the Air 2s mostly because it always seems to be windy here now! If Fimi could get a handle on QC, I'd even consider the X8se 2022.

Finally!!! Thanks Captain for another of your best in the business reviews. The question I hope is answered by the end your series is Mini 3, Nano or both? I kind of hope it’s both as I have a 3 on order but can’t get the little orange drone out of my head.

I have the Mini 2 and I think it is all I need...I don't think the mini 3 has enough features or upgrades to make up for the price difference to buy it... But I think the mini 3 is a great drone...but I guess I'm just saying that DJI did such a good job on the mini2 that they've made it hard on themselves to make a better one...no disrespect to any mini 3 owners...but I love my Mini 2...happy droning...my droning family

Well done Captain!; it is disappointing that DJI dont support you (and the Channel) "directly" as they do need a balance / spread of objective reviews from highly regarded and experienced Pilots (such as your good self !) ; regardless, the Mini 3 Pro looks like another major advance on the the current platform; I have ordered one here in Australia and will hopefully take delivery later next week; looking forward to part 2 of your review 😊😊

Me again, which is the better drone, the DGI mini3 pro or the Autel Évoque Nano ? The Evo Nano is more expensive but it might de a better fit for me. So many questions.
