I want to make this as short and sharp as possible. Your videos are superb. Thank you.
Really appreciate the kind words ! Thank you kindly
And no giggling needed 🙃
Once again, you have covered fine details others appear to not care about but serious compliant pilots do!
I try :) thank you for watching and your comment!
Well done Gavin for sussing this out and thanks for sharing 👍👍
My pleasure
Thanks Gav 👍
Good info Gavin 👍
Good points there!
thank you

With the mini 4 batt in the mini 3 will you get a 'battery over current' alert pop up on the screen when flying?
What about the Mini 3 Standard? Can the Mini 4 Pro battery be used in that?
I'm curious about the flight time this battery in mini 3...
I am curious to see what a Mini 3 (not pro) would weigh with the Mini 4 Pro light battery. Maybe even with that camera cap off. It just might be light enough to put prop gurads on for category 1 flights under part 107.
That’s what I might do for my mini 3 might upload to TH-cam
@InaMopar Please let me know. From what I have read and seen, it's only a couple of grams lighter. So it won't be light enough to put prop guards on and be under 250 grams.
Great you made a video after my comment the other night.👍
Always try make videos people ask for where possible!
using a mini 3 pro I use the plus battery and the standard if I am doing 3 flights in one go. 1007km done in 48,1 hours
this is good news nice one mate
Yeah I think so also!
Great vid, @gavinhr - do you happen to know pls if the M4P batts also work in the M3 (not Pro)? Thanks so much!🙏
Here there! Yes they do :) and they save weight
Cool, thanks so much for the quick response, much appreciated! 🙏
I've been asked to do a complex mapping mission up in Central London and thought I might upgrade to the batts for now (haven't got the M4P yet)...
Got the M3 + M3P but the M3 is better for mapping given it's slightly longer quoted flight time...😉
Keep up the great work 💪
@@GAVINHR just a follow up to this query: looks like whilst the 4P batts work in the 3P they do unfortunately not with the Mini 3 (not Pro). I bought two 4P for the M3 and get the following error message: "Incompatible battery version, change battery #30211." I probably keep them for the M3P and in case I'll get a M4P eventually. But thought I'll feed back as others may wonder about the same. Ha e a fab Easter weekend all!
@MrksKr that’s very odd! To this day I interchange my batteries between the two no issue!
For once dji kept the batteries compatible with both drones I have them both at the minute so great news thanks for the valuable information as always gavin your the man
Thank you for the kind words! just a shame about the ND filters not fitting from the Mini 3 Pro!
@GAVINHR yip, I'm expecting my new ones tomorrow filters everywhere lol
erm...air 2 and air 2 s batteries are interchangeable
@vince-n erm Vince I personally have never had interchangeable batteries, and I have a lot of drones, but none of the air series
@@jimthorleydronefootage yeah the reason I upgraded from an air 2 to an air 2 s was because I didn't have to buy new batteries
What about battery firmware upgrades, do those make the batteries incompatible between the 3 and 4? Do you have to update them every time you switch?
Yes it will update firmware when switching
What a PITA!@@GAVINHR
I bought a mini 4 intelligent battery for my mini 3. It told me it was an incompatible battery version and prompted me to switch the battery. Damn!!
Did you find any solution to this??
@jayuppercase3398 The only solution I had was to return the mini 4 intelligent battery and buy a mini 3 intelligent battery. I believe a mini 3 intelligent battery works in the Mini 4 tho. Don't quote me on that.
I just had the same problem and I have purchased 3 of them I want to cry $$$ , this video is costing people money!
Wow 👍
Hi, great video mate, since you have the mini 3 & 4 , can you find out if the RC 2 is compatible with the mini 3 Pro?, please let me know, Thank you !
Hi there, sorry to advise the RC2 only works with the Mini 4 pro and the Air 3 :(
@@GAVINHRthanks man, and the RC remote for the mini 3 pro doesn't work with the new mini 4 pro?
@henshaw7 that’s right unfortunately it doesn’t
But dosent work on dji mini 3 standar
Hi Gav! Do ND filters from mini 3 pro fit to mini 4 pro?
I thought they would fit but no, they don't. There is a slight difference in attachment.
Sorry I’ve just seen this! Sadly no they do not fit
Thanks guys! Trying to sell my 3 pro and buy 4 pro 😉
you're correct Gavin what's a gram or 2 between friends 🤣
Can you please put a Mini 3 flighted extended plus battery into your mini 4 please?
I want to see if you get error messages / hide those error messages
No error messages here :)
@@GAVINHR So what happens if you put the Mini 4 pro + battery in the mini3 pro? Does it go more then 250g?
What colour does it need to have, and does it need to blink?
Do I need to attach it to top or bottom of the drone?
Colors are not mandatory, most people fit a single white one - it goes on the bottom so you can easily spot it in the sky from below. Hope this helps
In the United States, you need an Anti-Collision Light, and it will need to be on top and be visible at least 3 Statute Miles.
Great video!
We all agree no one will ever check the weight of the drone... in case everything is fine.
If anything bad happens, those 3 grams will count (and consequences are massive).
I'm the first one violating rules on purpose, but it is my informed decision, not because I've seen a video from a dishonest youtuber with fancy lights stating the batteries are fully interchangeable.
Thanks Gavin for your open and unbiased communication.
If something happens, there would not be anything left to check the weight.
@@IvanToman no, but the battery code can be verified easily from flight logs…
"only the paranoid will survive" they're saying 😂
👍 Now that the Mini 4 is out and is all the rage, Maybe DJI will release the SDK to Litchi for the mini 3 Pro
That would certainly be nice!
Good point, I hope so.
Isn't it ridiculous few grams here or there is not going to stop anyone, i constantly use battery plus in my mini 3pro with wide angle lens and with strobes 😮😮😮😮 , oh dear im a naughty boy 😂😂😂
haha! very naughty!
😆😆😉😉
Until there is an issue it's clear sailing. If you have an issue, the fines will make you weep. I expect an enforcement sweep in the near future. Most of my filming takes place in free range skies so I use my air 2s now. I used my mini 3 pro to learn on, crashed it many times, care replaced it 6 times at this point. This winter I will be filming a lot in a city that tried to impose bylaws that get very close to infringing on constitutional rights and extant aviation regulations. So, I'll be using my mini3pro which is permitted according to aviation regulations (federal government supersedes all municipal government), launching from the river that borders the city but is not in the city boundaries, and filming away to my hearts content- sorta looking forward to a confrontation about it too. Now, I'll use the new m4p normal battery to gain the extra tolerance to run strobes- to ensure the authorities and karen patrols see me and report it.
Watch out the CAA might send you to prison being 1 gram over😂
U gona go straight to jail...actually PRISON,HARD LABOR WORKING THE FEILDS
I was playing with both drones yesterday and when I put the mini 4 batteries in the mini 3 it would Not power on the motors.
Seems the subtle differences aren't so subtle! Way to go DJI.
Did you update the firmware? The battery required a firmware update each time it’s switched between the two
@@GAVINHR You would think so. The mini 3 batteries never updated but worked in the mini 4. The mini 4 batteries said they needed updated firmware to work in the Mini 3, I didn't let them.
The other ODD thing is the mini 4 batteries dont finish charging in the mini 3 charger. It takes about 2 minutes in the drone to top off. DJI has done some real BuggaBoo on this part of 2 good drones. I wonder if this could cause other problems down the road?
House fires from Chinese batteries is a REAL Threat!
can we use a mini 3 pro Remote in mini 4 pro
No the Mini 4 is Ocusync 4 it won’t pair up with any Ocusync 3 drones.
I am a mini2 user. I hope you can give me an honest opinion on whether I should upgrade to mini4.
😢u sir, r a Dumas. The answer is ooooobbbbbbvvvvviiiiiioooooooouuuuuusssssllllyyyyyyy. Don't ask such Dumas quesssssses, ok by
Yes you should, if you want to change the mini 4 pro is an excellent choice
Does the mini 4 battery fit/charge in a Mini 3 charging dock?
Yep it’s the same dock :)!
Awesome thanks! @@GAVINHR
So my DJI MINI 3 extended battery can fit into the DJI MINI 4 PRO??? REALLLYYY??
Now drone x factor just did a video and the mini 4 pro battery will not work in the mini 3 pro it says incompatible
I don't know on that one, this flight was this morning and worked perfectly
I have been using back and forth, then yesterday the Mini 3 wont fly on Mini 4 batteries. Way to go DJI.
@aloeisthestuff9622 that’s very odd! If no updates I’m not sure why this won’t work
👍
Hello, have you tried using the mini 4 pro battery with the mini 3 non pro?
I have not but it will work fine
@@GAVINHR I just bought the mini 4 pro battery, after activating it and connecting to the rc, it prompted me to do a firmware update, after that it still gave me an error on the rc that the battery version is not compatible. Don’t know what to do now 😔
@@user-cu6gp1ze1n that’s odd, I have had one other person say that but mine are all working fine
@someOne-ef8tl I don’t unfortunately however I don’t expect to see any difference:)
My mini 3 is telling me the battery is incompatible
can u use dji 3 charger to charge dji 4 barreys ?? anyone ? answer ?
Yes you can
Hasn't anyone noticed the rear vents of the 4pro is slightly bigger?
But the air flow is no better.
No way. I have a mini 3 pro and the mini 4 pro battery does not work: it fits, the drone powers up but the remote gives me an error stating battery version not compatible. Chamge battery (code 1610006A) and does not take off. Now I have a mini 4 pro useless battery. A sort of paperweight.
2.6g heavier.. surely that puts the mini 3 pro over 249g?
2.6g lighter :)
My question.... can i use mini 3 pro battery on mini 4 pro?
Yep
Thank you... buying Mini 4 Pro now@@GAVINHR
😮😮😮❤❤❤❤
I have just done a signal test just uploading my findings no I did not fly them
Doesn’t bother me my friend, make sure you drop a link I’d like to see it :)
Gazzax, I'm 83rd. Do i win a mini 4, thanks in advance
I don’t have any of the mini series drones but it always makes me laugh about all the bull💩people think the world is coming too an end because their drone is 2 gram’s heavier just enjoy your drone
They fit, but it puts it over 250 g remember that
That’s the mini 3 pro batteries in a mini 4… this is the other way round ;)
@@GAVINHR yes you are right. Great videos keep them coming!
I now have mini three pro and mini four pro. I’m very mad that the ND filters do not fit they’re not interchangeable. DJI is very nasty.
@@jamesdrone69 yes very frustrating to be fair!
@@GAVINHR I have a feeling they did it on spite because they gave us batteries that work with both so they have to make money on some thing right ND filters got a love marketing!
I really dont know why anyone bothers with 249 g drone they are garbage
Why not
🤣🤣🤣“Amazing results mini 4 pro range test”
