DJI Mini 3 First Full Flight & Impressions

[@BearNecessitiesAerialPhotos]

It's interesting how DJI is releasing the more expensive drones first and then they step down to the more affordable drones. Great presentation as usual brother. Thanks for all you do for the drone community. 👍🏾

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

It speaks for itself that DJI is doing this. They already made the solid platform and has a lot of spare materials which can easily be used to make cheaper models. This generates more money.

[@graphguy]

Agreed. I would have preferred to see a m3p+ vs this.

[@KNIGHT-FLIGHT]

I found it strange as well,,, but then I thought about it,,, earlier this year EXO tried to out do them when they was late on the release,,, so they dropped the Mini-3 Pro to knock them back down and hold there position as #-1 in the Drone industry...

[@hubsanrcproductions7222]

@@ChristiaanRoest79 Enjoy these drones while you still can the Federal Government is wanting to blacklist DJI drones from the United States over National Security Concerns.

[@paullthomas8064]

Thanks Billy and Happy Flying!

[@spicer3595]

Camera quality sure is a top feature. It is still a cool option for enthusiasts. I personally dont think I need all the additional features on the Pro so if I could get one without them for a cheaper price then why not.

[@charlesm127]

I’m thinking of trading In my Phantom 4 Pro for a Mini 3 Pro (or even non Pro) is that sensible? The P4P produces super video and stills, can I expect as good from the Mini 3?

[@darrellbrown7381]

Gotta love the growing family of DJI Mini

[@dawhoda1]

This grew then dwindled, its already discontinued.

[@scottmclaughlin5674]

Disconnect may have been caused by edging near high RF sources emitted from the locomotive generators, Distributed Power radio connection to the rear engines or maybe even the power lines.

[@StephanieFerrante_]

Hey. I am hoping to upgrade to the Mini 3 from the original Mavic Mini. while I don't need it, but I want it. I am feeling a little fomo right now. My local camera store is getting it tomorrow ( I believe or something like that). I would definitely trade it in for the new one. Anyways, I enjoyed the video. Thanks for the content and hard work.

[@paulmurray4106]

Billy..... Will The Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro compatible with the Original DJI Smart Controller?????

[@Randomentertainmentz]

Billy how are you doing today bro. I sure because of new updates the only differences are the O. A and the D- log. They are almost the same in terms of flight time and everything. I'm using m3 and it's doing well. I always follow my safety precautions. You are doing great with your educational information. Stay blessed and safe all the time Amen 🙏. Sorry for your Air3 accident Welbeck from Accra Ghana West Africa.

[@wollins2]

Three questions: 1. Hows the sound level compared to the PRO? 2. Are its props interchangeable with the PRO? 3. Does this suffer from the same transmission problems as the PRO did? (Read ... actual transmission like 10% that of specs)

[@XavierBaker]

1: Sound is same 2: Yes 3: Mini 3 pro doesnt have transmission problems. Mine goes up to like 7km

[@cjberzin7362]

Great videos, thank you! Question: For a Mini 2 owner that *ONLY* shoots stills (and does not care about follow modes, obstacle avoidance, etc....) - is this worth the upgrade? Will the stills, due to the larger sensor, be meaningfully better? If not this, would the M3P?

[@INTELMAXELL]

I would go for Air 2s for stills/ Most bang for your bucks with that.

[@avielgigi7254]

Is the DJI mavic mini 1 controller compatible with the new mini 3?

[@MrEddieNunez]

I love your KZbin shorts. This mini drone is perfect that. Thank you DGI

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

Haha lots of people are pronouncing D-Jay-I wrong for a long time buddy

[@RonaldBrown59]

The first flight went very well, this seems to be a very solid release for DJI. And very affordably priced for new users and drone pilots on tight budgets. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@dawhoda1]

This wasn't his first flight

[@dcw1540]

I have never had a drone but I would have one to fly over my crops .to check for weeds and crop stand.what drone would suggest. Thanks

[@mattkl4292]

I know you aren't asking me but I would suggest the Mavic 3. It has a telephoto zoom lens to zoom in on your weed.

[@HikeFly22]

Seems like they release the big guns first then the lower grade stuff although the consumer grade stuff is still pretty good and often have at least one feature that the higher grade stuff doesn't.

[@queirozdrone]

Awesome footage and view 🎉 congratulations my friend 🎉 I'm flying on a mountain region of Brazil 🇧🇷🎉

[@KNIGHT-FLIGHT]

You say you had the Mini-3 Pro for a year now,,, that way interesting... Especially being it hasn't been out for a year yet--😅🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂🤣🤣

[@Radiusxe]

With Mavic Pro, nobody uses real/true vertical video, so why should we use it now?

[@mattkl4292]

Cause now a lot of platforms use it. Mavic Pro was ahead of it's time.

[@RidiculousRocketry]

Great information and video.

[@billykyle]

Thanks!

[@AviusL]

I'm curious where you get your information from. Because everywhere I've seen it says 38 min max battery/fly time.

[@joepowers3731]

Does it have Remote ID like the Mini 3 pro.

[@1EyeInTheSky]

I was holding out for this version. I just find that I never used some of the features that are included in the pro models.

[@dawhoda1]

A lot of the features are just better stats and couple bells and whistles. The pro is probably better for someone who needs better flight control in general and or better mega pixels....just gotta shell out the Chedda

[@BOSS7871]

Thanks good review

[@DroneLifeARC]

Can you use the same RC for the mini 2?

[@billykyle]

Yeah

[@techunboxing8933]

​@@billykyleno

[@richardgarcia3788]

Can we use the RC1 for the Mavic Air 2? Since its using 02

[@masus7757]

when will they start selling them?

[@h-dawg969]

If this is occusync 2, does that mean they’re guna make other occusync 2 drones compatible with the RC? It’d be cool if I could use my djirc with my Air 2. I literally haven’t flown my Air 2 since I got my mini 3pro, which is a shame as that Air 2 was what started my drone interest.

[@billykyle]

I’d doubt it, but that would be nice!

[@h-dawg969]

@@billykyle yeah it’d be wicked if I could fly the Air 2 with the rc. I always presumed it was only compatible with occusync 3 like the mini 3 and Air2S etc, but if it work with this new mini 3 then I dunno why it wouldn’t be future compatible with air 2, mini 2 etc. it’s deffo made it a lot easier and more convenient not having to set up with phone or tablet all the time.

[@BeSafe20]

With what kind of drone can this controller be used?

[@peteharris4203]

Will it do spotlight, POI, or Activetrack flight modes?

[@mattkl4292]

No Activetrack features on the mini 3. Locks on for auto Quickshots only like mini 2.

[@thkotsak1950]

Billy Is it worth buying today the DJI mini 3 on offer for 389 euros? With N1 Thank you very much athanasios

[@mladabitanga2677]

I got it with a few flights, FMC + RC + ND1000 filter, for 480 euros

[@thkotsak1950]

It's unfair that it doesn't have active tracking, even drones that cost 40 euros have this.

[@mladabitanga2677]

@@thkotsak1950 there is a walkaround for that, just use quickshot circle option and make it fly in the direction you are going, the drone will never circle but follow you because you are moving

Yes, they sell like breads

[@sigitwiriandy]

nice

[@exclusiveaerials]

Looks like an amazing little drone. You’ll get better range if you turned around facing the drone when you flew past yourself a couple of times. But of course you knew that! I can imagine doing a review while flying must be quite a lot to think about! No disrespect intended Billy! Amazing job as always 🤙👍

[@mattalford3932]

This is an entry level DJI drone, but its not an entry level drone in general.

Agreed

[@MichaelTapel]

That's exactly their marketing strategy "oh I'll just add another 200$ and get the pro with more features..." they're fooling you

[@graphguy]

@Michael Tapel how is it fooling anyone? The Mini 3 , for me, is a feature poor device. $200 is nothing to get the features of the m3p.

[@MichaelTapel]

@@graphguy and 200$ more you'll get the air 2s or whatever, it goes on and on, it's marketing strategy.

@Michael Tapel that is true, but.... That is here where a discerning grasp of ones; budget, needs and wants come in and the ability to have clarity and wisdom.
