DJI Mini 3 Pro High Wind Test - 50KPH Winds!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Hey folks, thanks for watching! Don't forget the massive 49-minute long complete tutorial/guide for the DJI Mini 3 Pro here, covering every single feature: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX-7eJVumL-oo7s

[@bunker1213]

Is there a reason that the tutorial/guide is unlisted? It's soo easy to "forget" it unless it's public.

[@Dcrainmaker]

@@bunker1213 Yeah, it'll go public in a few hours. I try and 'rate-limit' the number of things I publish each day, otherwise, it tends to hurt video performance. 😕 Sorry!

[@bunker1213]

No problem, just wanted to be sure you hadn't accidentally set the wrong visibility. When you wrote "don't forget" it seemed to imply that we should already know about the guide.

[@Dcrainmaker]

@@bunker1213 Appreciate it!!!

[@Chorge1972]

Cool Vid!! Thx… but all these weak yellow RC-Signal from 500m distance already make me a bit nervous…

[@dendrosagu]

There are other youtubers who do what they call "wind test"... but this guy does the one and only TRUE wind test!!!!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Haha...thanks!

[@Errr717]

Your high wind torture tests really shows the extreme capabilities of the drones. I'm quite impressed with how well this little drone is holding up. Awesome job for a creating a highly entertaining video as always. 😁

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks - appreciate it!!!

[@Esotericvaultofgems]

This drone is actually underrated , you don’t need to go all out right away & get one of the mavic 3 series. This drone has survived normal day to day choppy winds, & still had a steady camera footage at 50 kmh which is (30mph). Plus, why would you want to do any work in choppy wind’s with no sun/gloomy? Most likely a storm is following the wind as well, which leads you to cuttings workflow short, unless you’re doing outdoor activities & desire to get footage in that environment state. I would recommend saving money & start with the Dji Mini 3 Pro, check your weather forecast every time before you start workflow. When you’re able to upgrade, then you should get the mavic 3, unless you plan to use your drone for heavy winds or conditions such as (40mph - 100+ mph is pretty much curtains). If your workflow consists heavy winds & weather conditions go with the mavic 3 & if your workflow is for social media content, go with the mini 3 pro. Both great products, you just have to know what it’s used for. Hope this helps! P.S. - If you desire to upgrade, you can sell your mini 3 pro later & the mavic 3 will be cheaper because they will most likely come out with a new model that’s better than the mavic 3. Play your cards.

[@ImanKamil]

Amazed how the footage from the drone was soo stable even the wind too strong 💨

[@Dcrainmaker]

Indeed, pretty impressive. Cheers!

[@tomfrank2115]

duno if its just me but when its already completly not under control for me im extremely scared. I wanted to fly from a balcony in 20 meter height.. but then it couldnt even stay in place. I guess thats not a problem? it would just be better to have a big open departure field I guess. I dont want that it breaks, or flies versus a wall and falls those 20 meters down

[@StarrDust0]

truly never imagined a tiny light drone like that hovering in the wind, amazing.

[@rrdigitalmedia8366]

That image stabilization is absolutely insane😳. What a great test video!!

[@seaboirs]

I'm always coming back here for every new drone to see the wind tests! Love it!

[@mahmodulhaque]

Yes same here... Every single one ..love it

[@phil95kiff12]

Me too!!!!

[@AlexisMagtajas]

As a Mini 2 user, I'm really impressed how the Mini 3 pro handled such strong wind. Thank you making this video.

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

The mini 2 can handle these winds pretty well too, but this is slightly better

[@madebya.i]

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernILwhat about the mini 1?!

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

@@madebya.i It’s good but about slightly more than half as good as the mini 2 is at handling those winds. It really struggles with winds that are 17-20mph. Not to mention it having half the range of the Mini 2

[@madebya.i]

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL thanks!

[@jdnell]

That 1080P/240FPS iPhone footage at the end was AWESOME! The whole video = NICE WORK! Thanks.

[@trini_boi2414]

This video just showed me why dji is the leader in the drone technology.. it's amazing how such a small and lightweight drone packed with this much technology could handle this much wind and still produce great shots like it did..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@andersmad]

that's bloody amazing for sub 250g! most relevant video on the mini 3 so far - and thanks for the high pace + uni. scales etc.. kudos to you! (and DJI :)

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks, appreciate it!!!

[@photo2000]

Drone is bouncing around everywhere.... and the footage is sooo stable. Shows how good gimbal is. Thanks for showing what this drone can handle... even though we probably wont be going out in those conditions! lol

[@MichaelSasser]

The most amazing part of this video was there was no wind noise in the microphone. 2nd is how the drone handled with wind. Good video!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Haha...the mics are on point!

[@a2tomm]

The Mini 3 rocks,thisis the best wind test yet

[@yuanyuanintaiwan]

Thanks for taking all the risks to show us what it got 😊👏

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!!!

[@tickettoryde]

Thanks!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks, much appreciated, you're awesome!

[@nickh2373]

Your wind tests are legendary. Great vid as always! Think it's fair to say the Mini3 is pretty damn good at handling the wind especially as it's only 249g!

[@miketipton678]

He already stated in the video do not fly too far upwind, or higher altitudes. He doesn't really go more than 20m here, but many people are not as experienced, fly this drone up to 100m or so and lose it. You don't see many tests doing what inexperienced people would do. They see the video and go "ohhh I can do this" NOT

[@TechReview2000]

Very interesting! The wind is the largest factor for me, as I fly in very rough conditions. Thanks for making these videos

[@ruirodrigues9122]

2:30..."that was wet" best comment about water ever! I always come to DC Rainmaker for the wind tests! Great video!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Haha...thanks!

[@andrewvernon7325]

I was hesitating to buy this drone because of concerns about how it would handle the wind. This video demonstrated clearly wind will not be a problem. Awesome video, man. Well done. Thank you for putting this together!

[@peterhans4263]

Watched your video while i stood infront or a lake with a amazing mountain cenery… thought about packing together since the wind was 43 km/h, thanks to you i had the courage to go out and film and i took some of my best shots ever! Thank you so much

[@Falasi4]

That POI via Activetrack towards the end is the real deal - it held a level horizon all the way around! I never have problems flying the mini 2 in wind but a lot of footage gets wrecked for side-side shots when the gimbal runs out of articulation and skews the world on edge.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Indeed, super impressive. Obviously, it struggled with handling the change in wind directions in terms of maintaining a perfect circle as I pedaled forward, but on a calm day, it's managed to do it pretty smoothly.

[@colinfielder6695]

I love this demonstration it debunks a lot of others whom state it's no good in the wind, thanks for this DC Rainmaker!

[@RARufus]

I have a Mavic Pro and there have been several times I’ve barely gotten her back to me before the battery gave out. Wind was about 25-30 mph and it was about 1 mile away. Had about 50 percent batter when she started coming back and bucking headwind the whole way. The performance of the Mini 3 is impressive.

[@ZOB4]

This is very impressive, I’m honestly surprised at how well the footage came out

[@OscarShu]

really love the thumbnail, the passion of you and the stability of this little drone!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks! Yeah, this thumbnail came out solid. :)

[@samustube]

As a surfer, it's exactly the test video I've been looking for. Thank you so much 🙂🤙

[@SmartBikeTrainers]

Always love these drones wind test. Good stuff man 👍🏼

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks man!

[@Boogieee023]

I bought a cheap one from amazon once and it also light but cannot even survive light wind and gets blown away immediately. But this one's really different!! I am planning to buy this drone and this video got me! Thanks for this!

[@chrisharder4854]

Wanted to buy this to fly in ICELAND this summer..THANK YOU for this wind test

[@WingingItCrypto]

I have to say this gives me a lot of confidence in my Mini 3, also the stabilisation is just awesome.

[@rajramjit1755]

Had second thoughts about this drone after reading about wind issues. This sealed it for me.

[@implausibleblog]

Wow, that is impressive! This is the video I needed to see for the MIni 3. Thank you for putting it together. Incidentally, you can tell how windy it was given how loudly you were speaking to get your voice across!

[@seajlim]

Really impressive for such a small drone. This was my concern coming from a DJI Spark. But this has sold me. Thanks!

[@dronesdeep]

Cheers for this. Good to know how any drone performs in the wind. All the best.

[@663]

I cannot leave without clicking the like button for the effort

[@Vlogtravelinchina]

I am scared to fly over a strong wind but you gave me confident to take a good shot in such a situation. Thank you for sharing your test.

[@cameronparry562]

Live in a windy city and this video is necessary, thanks so much!!!

[@markypea]

The cinematography of that whole video was beautiful, especially the scenes at the end!

[@ALTN8NRG]

Excellent demo! I love the stress tests on the drones. It shows their true capabilities. Love this!

[@Chad_Engineer_Main]

Just got my Remote Pilots License(Unmanned Aircraft) and AROC license (Radio) in Australia and considering buying a mini 3, this really makes me want one.

[@DarqueSyde66]

That autonomous tracking at the end was EPIC!!! Great video, sir. This was quite helpful on a number of fronts for me. Keep up the good work.

[@dreamstudiocuracao]

Thankyou for this video! I just had mine today. It was very windy also and when I was in the air it scared me. Because I'm used to fly my Mavic air2. But now I see this I can fly with winds here to I think 😊

[@DrivenFloored]

very cool - decision made, m3p it is :) that autonomous active track POI shot at the end is crazy - cant wait to try that with cars!

[@useryggfdcc]

Wow, that last part of video on slow mode is mindblowing. The rear props going faster than the front, the flight control electronics just awesome.

[@DJIDroneTravel]

Wow 😮 it’s holding up so well with that high wind this is unbelievable 😮

[@intheeire]

Great video. The speed against the wind is fantastic, really impressive! Just got mine delivered today, cant wait to get it out!

[@DAXimusTT]

I'm not sure if it's your narration style or the crazy conditions being flow in here but one thing for sure this video has me anxious and nervous AF! I appreciate the raw style and opinion! Thank you.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Hahaha...thanks!

[@TheMacMaster]

Subscribed!!! You are brave here lol :0)

[@illius85]

that last splash looking deadly for the gimbal and electronics :D i am impressed

[@thomza]

Bad ass wind test. Best in the business.

[@ph5740]

Great demonstration 👍 Really gave me the answer, to if my first drone should be a mini or not

[@MINDSPARK-u6e]

Your video reviews on this product is awesome

[@jaybomb5022]

Im so happy I ordered one while they were in stock!! Thanks for the awesome test video.

[@robson21156]

Amazing video, thank you from Brazil🇧🇷

[@MrTaunusbiker]

Thanks so much for doing this test and putting this little thing at risk. Amazing what it can do. I ordered my one today.

[@EA1EF]

Good job, extreme test, final video slowmotion are so good

[@jodokcello]

Why its lagging all the time in activ track mode?

[@Dcrainmaker]

If you're referring to the end bit, it's because it's fighting 50KPH winds as it rotates around me, both head/side/tail, constantly changing. If you look at my main ActiveTrack video (without the winds), then it's a bit more normal.

[@smaganas]

Amazing, thanks for risking your drone. I fly off of cliffs often and over the ocean so this was very encouraging. For some reason 30 mph looks a lot more violent where I live but nonetheless super impressive.

[@mattwest2391]

10:07 nice shot of the @Loodswezen Pilot Boat... Do you do any drone freelance work? We need someone in the Netherlands!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks! Nah, no freelance work at this point. Maybe someday!

[@taiwoonine]

Thanks for great reviews ! Really awesome work !! NO BS, pure content and straight to the point !! Love your videos !!

[@kiyomiswan4871]

awsome test bro...ty for dedications,education

[@LT_TOMMY_]

You brave man 😂 Fantastic video, shocked how good the footage came out 👌🏽👍🏼

[@ph.dodemont2075]

Respect man, great video

[@cf1237]

Excellent video, thank you!

[@interparus_com]

Thanks, I need this test for using on our boat

[@drspyqwerty]

Great test. Thank you

[@SMLP]

Your wind tests make me nervous every time… but thank you for taking the risk so we don’t have too.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!!!

[@merkin22]

Great test flight! Thanks.

[@davidebratton]

What an impressive little bird. Thanks for giving a true test. I'm getting one.

[@kainh8400]

Everything whatbi see of the dji mini 3 is awsome. I think this is the best what you can buye in this price range. Thanks for this nice Video you help me a lot for the buy help

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Cool! This may be my 1st drone here in the Philippines. Fewer "no fly" zones here at present.

[@inspharris]

Great video…. I just purchased a dji mini 3 fly combo… but I need to check to see if it has focus tracking… that was nice..

[@r1ch4rdw4gn3r]

Nice performance!! 6:34 even the square blocks are having an astonished look on their face 😯 😮

[@JohnFSmitheugene]

Great video, much appreciated! This was exactly the kind of weather I fly in on a regular basis; I live not far from the Oregon coast and make it a point to “storm watch” (and fly!) whenever the opportunity comes along. The Pacific Ocean is so gorgeous when it looks “angry” in the chilly, windy, and rainy winter days that we get here. My own Mini 3 arrived this morning, so finding your video today worked out great! Thanks again!

[@TeaDoggo]

Hey, I'm thinking of getting the Mini 3 and just wondered how it's been so far?

[@WalkWithMeTim]

great video .. definitely going to get one of these

[@scotteddy5830]

SUPER impressive, thanks for doing this, the wind issue was my only concerned for this drone.

[@SteveDonnaTVCanada]

The orbit - active tract is amazing. Wonder if Mini 2 will upgrade the software to do this as well?

[@Dcrainmaker]

Indeed. But sadly no upgrade hopes there, mainly as it lacks Active Track because of lack of obstacle avoidance.

[@trickn2819]

Mazing! I have the first Mini and it's wind resistance is it's only flaw as far as I'm concerned.

[@becksvideoproductions]

Your same review of the Mini 2 is was sold it for me - Again a great video!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Haha...it's all about the wind!

[@j.b.7525]

Thanks for making this DC! I've wanted a compact, good quality footage drone that can handle wind for filming kiteboarding while on vacation. I think this could tick all the boxes for me.

[@spuds1002]

POI Orbit was impressive in those conditions for such a small drone! Thanks for sharing!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Indeed! I honestly didn't think it'd hold it's own, and it did perfectly!

[@johnathantwinz810]

I was just told this drone wasn't a great drone. I was told the Air 2s was better. But you just proved to me how wrong the person was. Thanks for this video

[@jamesfoster4809]

Awesome. Thank you for risking your drone.

[@ilmarss]

What is causing video jitters and uneven movement at 7:19 ? See the rocks in foreground?

[@WatermarquePaul]

Excellent video! The POI Orbit was super impressive at the end.

[@verdi6092]

The coolest wind test ive ever seen😁

[@tonyvjames]

Unbelievable. Amazing tech

[@Blueskyver]

Super flying with the mini 3. Thanks for sharing.

[@martinasajkova8714]

Thanks for the video, defo the most entertaining one! Plus it has convinced me to get the mini3 :)

[@GreenBeltTrails]

very courageous of you to show off this drone performing in sub optimal conditions! love the vid. great job

[@J4TravelAdventures]

3:05 is that the mini 3 or another drone?

[@J4TravelAdventures]

it's bird lol

[@CPstudioTheTraveller]

great test 50 kph - +-26 knots. was amazing stablize footage

[@vr-bob]

What's with the signal loss? Is it just me or does the feed look laggier than the mini 2?

[@HouseAndLotFinderph]

Man i love you video, love the drone. You did it better than others! subs man.

[@rodimousa9503]

I was waiting for this test so bad so thank you for it ❤️❤️

[@n00btwini]

super impressive, good tips on lowering the height in a headwind. that might have saved me a drone a long time ago.

[@SetUP1]

11:19 Why objects in the background are very jerky? It like framerate is about 5-10 frames per second

[@Dcrainmaker]

Because you're looking at the screen recording, which is higher latency and used for control. I show on the screen which times I'm in screen recording mode (with controls), and when it's the actual pretty recorded video files.

[@SetUP1]

@@Dcrainmaker at 11:51 the same, noticeable by the lighthouse in the background. Can you add link at short part of original video? (were is the same moving around and non static background)

[@Joshyclements]

Brilliant videos, well articuated and edited! Great work man, youve taught me loads 👌

[@barryp8145]

Awesome showcase of the drone in high winds. People need to realise that there are going to be updates coming that will smooth out the few issues. For example the Mavic 3 and the Nano +. Thanks for sharing. 😊
