I've got one never flown a drone before it's so easy lovely bit of kit 👏👏👏👏also don't use sport mode too much kills the battery 🥱🥱

Mini 2 in 4k I think. Not 💯% But sounds like a good deal to me. I just got mini 4 pro just before this came out or I might have brought that 1 but I'm more than happy with the 1 I got. It's expensive for the mini 4 pro and battery's X4 you're looking at $2000, but once you got it you got it, right ? Buy once Cry once 👍. I should elaborate on the price. It cost me so much because I live in New Zealand so everything costs twice as much here that's just the way it is

Fair enough! Very good share. This is the exact thought process of many buyers today. Which one should I buy? Should I sell and upgrade. Thank you.

​@@drone_tech_reviewHi, can you tell me if the mini 4k drone compatible with the mini 2, if not, do you know batteries will be compatible? Thanks

That’s an inconvenient choice by DJI to put the power button on the bottom…it’s always on the top, so that’s weird. For the money it seems like a great drone. I will probably get the mini 3 fly more set

[@drone_tech_review]

Good point! That really is a bad place for it, now that I've used the Mini 4 Pro power button a lot.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy my first drone and have two offers to consider: the DJI Mini 3 for 369 EUR or the new DJI Mini 4K for 299 EUR. What are your thoughts? Is it worth spending an extra 70 EUR for the DJI Mini 3? Thanks for your advice!

[@drone_tech_review]

I think the Mini 3 flies a little bit better since it is a bigger drone with a bigger wingspan. Also it is compatible with the new Plus battery which increases battery range by 50%. And finally, it is compatible with the better remote control. Camera is a little better too and can shoot vertically. So, it's worth the $70 EUR.

@@drone_tech_review Thank you

Which iPhone is that? I’m thinking of buying this drone as a gift for a friend. But he has an iPhone X. Not sure if it will work with it. I hear conflicting things on the internet. Per DJI: as long as the iPhone has iOS 11+ it should work, but also on their iPhone compatibility chart the iPhone X is not listed. Somewhat contradicting. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@drone_tech_review]

This is the iPhone 10

[@oierdominguezduran9040]

Very good video bro, thanks, I'm thinking of buying it 😜

[@drone_tech_review]

Enjoy it. Thanks for commenting!

[@IslandDigital]

Does this come remote ID ready ? Why isn’t this on DJI website?

[@drone_tech_review]

No remote ID as this is just a repackaged Mini 2. Not on their website since it was just repackaged for Amazon audience. It doesn't highlight their latest capabilities.

[@bobwhitewo3b]

What are you using as a RID device to make the drone legal under part 107?

[@drone_tech_review]

I don’t have that, so let me research it and review a few

[@IslandDigital]

Can this drone work with a controller with a screen built in ?

[@hsoc2321]

no

[@drone_tech_review]

Unfortunately not. Only compatible with the Mini 2 controller with no display

[@srcinmativideography005]
