[@SPL]

Since you only get 3 months of outside time in Canada it looked like everyone in your town was in the park, "Git, git, git. Move it, people! Cameras here!" 🤣 Best review yet!

[@mr.mastor]

I've got my dji mavic mini (first mini) to go 13,000 feet out over the ocean!! it almost didn't make it back!! 😅

[@rod377001]

Steve turn of mobile data on iPhone when downloading to your phone, seems to be a bug with dji devices , action 2 is another example.

[@kd7don]

You sold me on the original mini and now after several crashes I may get the mini 3. thanks Steve

[@epsonexxon1088]

Hi Steve, at that high price Dji could have included a charging brick and props safety clips on all versions and ND filters on fmc versions...cant wait for your upcoming videos on the comparison of dji mini 3 pro and dji mini 2....thanks!

[@Brez1969]

Ok, for what I'm going to do with this, I'll be fine, I fly for fun, when I think about it, I should of bought the FPV, but I wear glasses 🥸😛🤔

[@mnashon]

Thank you very much for another marvelous review Captain Drone, looking forward to part 3 & 4 and *if we are lucky the Autel Lite Vertical/Portrait mode vs the Mini 3 Pro Vertical Mode* ...many thanks.

[@joshytclaps1817]

Thanks for the tips about the controller will try flying now with my body facing the drone and my hands up thank u 🙏

[@richlisagregor2272]

Or even the cheaper than 100.00 bucks usa especially the one drone theyve been pooring all over the Google shorts thank you captain!!!

[@togeika]

Not sure what the advantage is of this controller when you need to bring your phone to access important features.

[@masonsdronefilms]

Will the DJI rc work for the Mini 2?And i can't wait for part 3!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Not at this time

[@rickracine9758]

It will be interesting the Mini 3 vs Mini nano plus review on the camera ,there's tons of them out there with mix opinions

[@shsechas]

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! The Cap will answer all the questions. Carley Simon should sing her song (Nobody Does it Better) and dedicate it to your channel.😁 I was concerned about the maps as I rely on them if I need to find out exactly where I am. The overheating and overload shutting down the drone is something I guess we will just have to live with. I am thinking about getting the mini3 for something very portable as I have the Evo1 monster. Going to wait a little longer until DJI makes like 10 more firmware updates. Thanks to channels like yours to prepare us.

[@TheItalianWays]

Captain I bought the mini 3 non pro flynore kit am I good will I be enjoying it? You have the best video and it makes you buy stuff lol

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Enjoy!

[@DanielBerke]

Good to know, as a new drone pilot, that my reflexive clutching of the RC up close to my face helps with the signal transmission. :D

[@dapperdann1]

Great video. The rc controller does record sound. Open up the small access door and plug a lapel mic into the host port

[@RC_stuff]

Do you know, if I already have the DJI RC for my mini 3 pro, can I still connect the RC-N1, and how would I do it?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Simple. Attach your phone, start up drone & DJI Fly, then select Mini 3, it will tell you you need to update firmware on controller, accept and your done.

[@SengLeeKoh]

I see where this is headed - perhaps when the mini X (10) pro comes out in a finite number of years down the line, and dji is still viable and making drones, I'll upgrade.

[@BetaHydri]

It seems that you can connect some USB-C Headsets to the Host port to use it as microphone. I'm also using Bluetooth Tethering to my Samsung Phone to get internet connectivity during airborne.

[@7777russ]

another informative video, waiting for Parts 3 and 4.

[@papagrisu9739]

Next time you make a range test, you should hold your RC-controller not only in the direction of the drone, but also vertically in the direction of the drone, it should be better than, i think. I enjoy your videos, thanks for them! Greetings from Austria

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Unfortunately that has no effect. It’s just not gonna get from 2 km up to 12 km just by slightly tilting the control. Watch the penetration test and you’ll see that the controller was held in the way you mentioned and results were poor.

[@mountainofentities]

The advertising the mini 3 as a 'pro' is a bit deceptive as the controller it comes with is not 'pro' as the range is limited with the controller & amateur range, ie say you want to do cinematic footage of flying part way up a mountain you are going to be very limited. I am wanting to get this drone though when I read of how limited its flying range is, I wonder if I am going to be trapped from getting where it needs to.

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Steve.....Been enjoying your video's. Boy if I were there. I'd be trying to make a cameo appearance as well.....LOL....Given that Dji allowed the RC to bind with the Mavic 3. Maybe in a future video test the Mavic 3 with the RC. Hopefully someday RC Pro will be able to bind with Mini 3......👍

[@desmondsequerah9760]

Hi, just purchased the mini 3 pro. What App are you using on your phone to transfer pics and videos? I can find a DJI store App but not a DJI app for transferring data. Cheers

[@hobbyzone2]

Seems like an Expensive Beta toy Steve!

[@xhappy425]

I remember this place from your Mavic Mini 1 and Mini 2 penetration test

[@captlarry-3525]

no point in buying a drone with these capabilities at this high price, and getting this junk controller with no range. Unless you are a dweeb who flies in circles.. ( as demonstrated here so well) having range and reliability is going to unlock the utility of the drone. Otherwise buy a toy.

[@kennywheelus6857]

An how how extra will it cost me,it's already like a 1,000.00 pre-order I saw 909.00

[@deadlazlo]

That controller is a bit disappointing. The only plus I see vs your phone is getting a call and screwing up your flight.

[@peterbrockman161]

Thanks for another review of the DJI Mini 3 Pro Steve. I'm enjoying mine now and will keep in mind your insights.

[@belovedLion80]

My Mini 3 Pro/IPhone doesn’t transfer video/photo either! Come on, DJI!

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Test Review Video Of The DJI Mini 3 Pro. Thank You Steve.

[@rubinhodrone9204]

Passando pra prestigiar aquele super like Boa tarde amigo 😉✌👍

[@canadatravel65]

Very good review 👏 👍 and waiting for number 3.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you

[@DonJoyce]

Great review, Steve! I received my mini 3 on Monday...which explains the rain and wind we're experiencing...lol.

[@tmfilogs]

I brought this Dji mini 3 pro last week and I am still exploring.

[@8thday204]

I have a minor criticism that is not specific to the M3 Pro but is applicable to various DJI drones and concerns the LED lights. I was reminded of this when watching your slo-mo intro footage on the review (superb production values BTW ;)). On each of the M3 Pro arms was a green flashing light and I guess you will be able to choose different colours for these. What I guess you can't do but should be able to is to have these set to mimic the nav lights on full size a/c ie red on port side and green on starboard. On my Mini2 I have a pair of high intensity strobes (Strobon) in these colours and they help enormously when you get used to them in being able to orientate the aircraft just with a glance. Even when it is only just visible you know immediately whether it is facing towards or away from you. I realise the lights on the M3 are no way near as powerful as these after market strobes but it would still be nice to be able to use them in this way when the drone is close.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I'm not sure exactly why, but so far no consumer drones have strobes on them.

[@AJ-Palermo]

Thanks for the review, very helpful! How much extra weight do you think the Mini 3 could hold with the regular battery and with the plus battery? Obviously not much, but do you think it could carry a small light or two, to help with landing and increased visibility?

[@ralfputz6076]

Is the DJI RS Pro compatible with the mini 3 pro? If so it would solve a lot of issues!

[@winstonliza8244]

Day 1 of asking for you to review a budget drone the gd93 pro (6k version)

[@harrisongould9460]

So...no connection problems tethering the controller to your phone? If you were to do a job where you're not sure if you have cell service, would you 'always' download the maps when in a wifi network anyway? Nice informative review...can't wait to get it.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If you need maps (I rarely use maps) and you are stuck someplace with no data for your phone then it would be best to cache your maps of your flight area ahead of time.

[@chadgarber]

Not very impressed with this drone.

[@winstonliza8244]

Day 3 of asking for you to review a budget drone the gd93 pro (6k version)

[@Andybarney555]

Cant buy the pro fly more kit in the uk??. Mini 3 yes.. mini 3 pro no? Whats up with that

[@leadsled213]

You can use a USB-C microphone and record audio while doing a screen recording.

[@gregtay67]

Staying with my Air2S. Waiting for Air3S and Avatar FPV.

[@steflevieuxcriss]

Always enjoy your review. I'm a beginner and had a DJI Mini 2. Really like Dji. However, you mention EVO a lot. FOr the same price range, is EVO better ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

DJI and AUTEL are like APPLE and ANDROID. They do the same thing but in a different way. So people who already own a DJI drone will always buy DJI Drones, and people who own an AUTEL drone will always by AUTEL drones.

[@Dirtboxhor]

9:25 LOL the way he was looking around. Eh? In front of the camera eh?

[@rokonman]

Hello Captain. Do you purchase care policies for your drones? I have read conflicting opinions on the value of these policies. I being a cup half empty kind of guy do purchase DJI care. That crazy tracking turn around in the woods in part 1 makes me think your Mini 3 is likely covered.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I sometimes purchase DJI care refresh but have never had to use it. However my brother-in-law who has no luck with anything electronic has had to use it twice, so he believes in it.

[@bownsaway]

Excellent reviews so far Steve some of the best on KZbin.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@patrickwalsh2086]

The range still goes to absolute shit at around 900 metres to 1 km😕👎

[@MrPark21jho]

its a nice drone to me

[@jeffhenderson2523]

i hunted high and low for this video i wouldnt watch any other than captain drone lol

[@dalefowler4536]

Please find out if the original smart controller can be use with this drone.

[@BlairAir]

Steve loses 13% of his full battery swatting away bozos coming over, picking up his powered on drone, getting in the frame, and making general nuisances of themselves.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

So very true :-)

[@kennywheelus6857]

Ok so if I don't want this controller how do I go about getting the pro with antenna

[@lifestapestry2968]

Just curious, has your sticker exceeded the 249g ? ;) Do you ever do a round up of your favorite drones? Would be interested to see where the Mini 3 comes in comnparison...

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

New drones come out almost weekly so there is always something cool to check out. I have found there is no one drone that does it all, so for different purposes I have different drones.

[@renraw4]

I ordered my DJI mini 3 pro 2 weeks ago. Not expected to receive it until the end of July. Why such a long back order? I ordered through DJI

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You have to order on the day it is announced or else you go to the back of the line.

[@AnimeW69]

Nice drone!

[@cyberherbalist]

Great review, Steve! As usual, and always look forward to them. I like this drone, but can't justify the cost, so won't be getting it, but if I win the lottery? Maybe then. Except I never buy a ticket, so no luck at all! LOL

[@JustInTime0525]

So it doesn't have type C video output for sure?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Correct

[@kennywheelus6857]

I stillwater this little drone though, for no more than going on my camping trip it'll be great.

[@garylinnane917]

2 in 1 state drone for you to check out. Drone or tank to take out mini 3 lol . On Dr Den video

[@kd7don]

👍

[@buddywoof]

Does the vertical mode work if you use DJI RC-RN1? Ie, does the image rotate if the phone is rotated?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

No effect by rotating a phone on a DJI product.

[@matthewgleeson2121]

Great review! The overheating issue is a real concern on all of these next gen sub 250 drones, especially here in Australia. Hopefully this will be addressed in future models.

[@rahalati]

If it a concern in Australia, what we say here in Persian gulf countries

[@TheItalianWays]

Wht they over heat ?

[@tommeeke2587]

Hi Steve,the top of the controller has two patch antennas so the way you are holding it is pointing the antennas straight up at the sky,the TOP of the controller should point at the drone not the rear of the controller.Nice review as always.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Unfortunately, all results are the same. Watch in the vid, I purposely did two methods (method two used in signal penetration test). Still, poor results.

[@7MPhonemicEnglish]

Nothing attracts a gaggle of varmints like pressing RECORD on an audio or video recorder.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

So very true

[@driewiel]

In Canada the range is less because it's a bigger country.

[@Lucas-bg1ww]

people have been having issues with the new update where the RC freezes up during flight, any advice? I heard some rumors going around about SD card cache clearing and im not too sure about what to do so it doesnt happen to me

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I have not had such issues so I have no input on the subject

[@z1power]

I'm happy for you that DJI didn't release this drone when it was -30 outside

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I'm equally as happy

[@tlsmoke23]

Its a shame DJI doesn't send you products to review because you keep it real with us. What does that say? Great video,

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That is certainly one reason they don’t send me products. If they saw this Part 1 and 2 review they would just cut me off from any future free drones.

[@Bobb1julie]

I’m impressed as an 87 year old pro photographer..Your very well versed in your craft and display exceptional editing..The DJI Mini Pro is in my immediate future and sharing your knowledge has given me a leg up… Thank you !!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You will enjoy this drone very much

[@Bobb1julie]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you.. It will be very exciting to use during 🦌 deer season

[@IM35461]

Interesting as ever. In some parts of the world the + batteries are not on sale due to the 250g rule. My only issue with my one is the GPS in the "DJI RC" If I load the android app without the controller connected the app the screen will say top left something like "Recommended Zone" as the DJI RC never seems to say anything other than "Locating" (even if you try it out doors). I have also found sometimes the update to RTH location to controller does not work generating an android error message. It seems to me the inbuilt GPS does not work very well. Any thoughts please.

[@clausura9442]

Great reviews 👌. I come here for all my info. Which brings me to this question, what case do you use for your mini 3 pro?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Just a cheap case I made by buying a case off Amazon Basics and modifying the interior

[@Name-js5uq]

Super great review, capt. Thanks 😊

[@sergeantbilko7070]

You're going to have to take a big roll of caution tape with you the next time you go out there and make a perimeter around you just to keep all the Yahoo's from getting in the video! 🤣

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I need to spread shinny objects all over the ground far away from me... the herd should be then attracted to the sparklie thingys.

[@henryjraymondiii961]

Try over 5 niles. out. 5 back. Easy.

[@deadheadgarage9763]

You mentioned overheating. Have you looked into the cooling fan kits they sell on Amazon?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I have not, and I should point out .... That is like asking... Hey, you just bought a new car and it has an issue with getting a flat tire on hot days. Have you looked into tire patch kits? The point is that when a person spends big bucks on a drone, it should not overheat.

[@IslandDigital]

Can you connect the controller to an iMac or IPhone directly to get the photos/videos off if it keeps freezing up like it happened to you ? I don’t have any android to use. Thanks ;). I also never knew to not move the drone after power on !! I will turn it on inside my house , carry it to my driveway , put it down then fly. I won’t ever do that again Thank you … in the words of the late great Chris Farley “ STUPID, STUPID, STUPID”

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The photos come from the MINI 3 PRO micro SD Card, so the only time you have to take them off with your phone is when you are out somewhere and you can't get them off the micro SD Card (i.e., on vacation and you forgot or didn't bring your laptop).

[@IslandDigital]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Excellent , Thank you :).

[@charliewhite6369]

Thanks captain drone, It seems like the dji Mini 3 pro remote RC keeps having updates and bit buggy is it still worth having ?confused!!!! 🇬🇧 💷

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I still like & use it

[@charliewhite6369]

Thanks again for replying. It means a lot.

[@BlairAir]

STRONGLY recommend a MATTE SCREEN PROTECTOR. Not to protect, but to MATTE the reflections. 700 Nits is meh in bright sun. Matte film helps, somewhat and reduces fingerprints that REALLY obscure the screen in bright sun. All you SEE is the prints, not what's behind them. These clean up easier than "9H Hardness Tempered Glass" which dies little except work sacrificially to take a hit and save the screen. FYI: The "5'.5" screen here is NOT the same size as the 5.5 in DJI Smart Controller and RC PRO. The DISPLAY may be 5.5" but the SCREEN (the of glass over the display) is about .5" less wide than the previous controllers. Just be sure when you order. Boxwave has a perfect fitting matte protector - 2 for a fair asking price.

[@volestoat]

[@anthonysmith9864]

SORRY For asking under this video but is the autel nano plus better than the evo lite plus in low light? And do you have problems with prop flicker and a drifting on the lite plus gimbal? I take a night shot at 1" and there is motion blur with lite plus. I set it on the floor and watch the picture and looks like it is looking around slightly. I don't know if mine is defective. I want a decent dusk drone and that can do nightscapes or longer exposures and the lite plus just can't 😞. Is the mini 3 pro comparable to the night mode on the lite plus? Thank you so much for your time! I only have a 8 day window left to return lite plus and don't want to get stuck with a drone I can't advance with. Sorry for the long message. Maybe I should get the mini 3 pro instead

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I have not tested, head to head, the NANO+ vs the LITE+. Both have a very good image at night. You can't take night shots with drones and leave the shutter open for a full second and expect good results because the drone moves slightly. There would have to be a windless night to get something good.

[@anthonysmith9864]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I definitely agree. I think mine is just defective. Sitting on the floor not moving the gimbal pans on its own. I hope it doesn't happen with yours or anyone's else's. Thanks for your time.

Great vid & I am satisfied with my mini 3. I finally got my pictures to download to my android phone by turning off the mobile data feature on phone. Works perfectly now

[@robd4376]

EXCELLENT job Captain! Thank you!!

[@1961Duane314]

So you still need your phone to use in the field. So I fail to see how this would be better than a standard remote like the mini2 has.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

A standard remote uses your phone screen and your phone is connected to cell towers, so when you look at maps, they are automatically there. If you need to see your maps with the integrated display controller then you will need either your cell phone or just cache the maps in advance. I never use the maps but many people do.

[@adventureben22]

This may be a silly question for drone people, but I currently don't own a drone and find myself wondering: can you buy a second controller and use either with the one drone? This is my scenario: I am going to do a three month canoe adventure with a friend. I'd like us both to have a controller on board. We get out before a rapid, he runs it while I control the drone. He gets out at the bottom of the rapid and I land the drone at his position. Then I turn my RC off, he turns his on and films me running the rapid. I'm sure it is possible, if only for warranty purposes, but is it as easy as turning an RC on and pairing it or is it more involved than that?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Unfortunately for safety reasons that is not possible and does not exist in consumer drones.

[@adventureben22]

Ahhhhh, that is too bad! I was hoping that when you turn the drone on you could pair whatever compatible RC you want to it. Kind of like bluetooth. Thanks for the fast reply.

[@landmarkconstruction]

[@robert8390]

How do you get the drone to land in the same spot it took off from, it came back in the area but not the same spot?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If the drone has a good GPS lock, it will return to the same spot.

[@milkmon5449]

@4:10 after a few flight on my mini 3, I prefer BT hotspot. It is better for phone & RC🔋life, slightly longer usage on a single charge. Bandwidth is good enough for map updates.
