The drone alone cost $669. It works with the regular controller that the Air2s came with (for those who already have one and want to save). But if you want the smart controller it’s almost 1k after taxes US
@@renderinghues it would have to be paired up with the same controller the Air2s comes with (IF you already have one). Other wise, you can buy the mini 3 Pro with the Smart RC controller. (Personally speaking, I think the Smart RC controller is good to have because using your cellphone has its issues, however, it’s much more expensive).
Pro level but in a tiny body. Brilliant improvements on camera and flight performance but staying portable and convenient. So far so good Mini 3 Pro!!!
Fuji beat me to it...the 8 bit footage is noticeable. You can still get passable footage and images for professional work, but the Air 2s wins that one. Although for the money, smart remote and some other features, the Mini 3 Pro is a VERY solid drone for the budding professional pilot. That smart remote and built in 1.3 GB of storage is a game changer. I'm getting into aerial photography and although I'm still early in the game and deciding which drone I really want to start with, I was looking at a neighbors roof because some roofers were trying to scam her into paying $7K to $24K for a new roof when it just needs to be cleaned. I explained roof cleaning, and went to look at her roof and as a nicety, I was going to photograph her roof from the air and look at her exhaust vents to see if they needed to be caulked. The first trip I used my ladder and cell phone for photos, but forgot I'd pulled my SD card and hadn't put it back, which is very rare for me. I went back a few days later to look inside her attic and took the drone again, only this time I had the remove, but I didn't have the cell phone to see what I was photographing, so that was a second wasted drone trip. If I'd had the Mini 3 Pro, that built in storage and all in one remote would have saved the day.
Nice that DJI isn't forcing over-sharpening of the image. The ideal would be an option for zero sharpening "in camera" so we can control it in post, of course.
I love my mini2, I use it for hiking, so I am definetly looking at this one, since it has the smart features and it could follow me when I do my stunts.
Thank God i waited to see what the MINI 3 can do This is exactly what i wanted A small lightweight 249g Drone that removes alot of the crazy restriction BUT without sacrificing a lot of the bigger drones specs 4K 60FPS should be the standard for any Drone in 2022, and glad to see they upgraded that along with flat colour profile and new lens always felt the Air 2s was a bit too expensive especially if you want the fly more combo Great review as always Would love a direct comparison to the Air 2S to see the speed difference, noise level, low light test, and overall feel of the drone etc etc
Flat colour profile without 8bit instead of 10bit, kinda ruins the whole thing for me. Probably better to just use the normal color profile and not mess with the colors in post to much
Here in Canada. I’m beyond excited for this drone! Being sub 250G’s is a huge deal over here due to not having to register this drone which comes with restrictions. I’m returning my Air 2S for this one already. Thanks for the video!
Did you know that this chinese company is giving the russian military software to help track the drones the ukrainians fly so they can kill them when they land the drones? So sorry to spam you with this but someone has to do it!
The second I saw the email from DJI, I immediately came here and right on queue, PotatoJet with his review!! Edit: Props to Kari as camera operator at 16:32
glad they finally gave the firmware update for 10 bit. my first drone and I waited a long time before buying. side sensors wouldve been a TKO but I get it. really fun and stable piece of kit
Love the DRT drone recovery tool, line throwing style! Mine is a long aluminium pole with flexible wire style tie down on the end! One time I just cut the tree down with a chainsaw
DJI Mini 3 Pro is a fantastic sub 250g drone. It's a crunched down version of the DJI AIR 2 Since i have an Air 2 and a Mini 2 i don't think it's worth upgrading just yet. I'm hoping they Sync the New RC controller that comes with Mini 3 with The Air 2 and the other DJI drones that i have. I really want the controller. The video was awesome. TY for sharing. Well done thumbs up👍
The dynamic range is the Achilles heel of the Mini 2. If the 3 is demonstrably better (rather than just on the spec sheet) I would probably upgrade. It’s the difference between OK footage and great footage.
If this works with the first Gen DJI Smart RC controller (like the mini 2/Mavic 2) then I’m on board. Seems easy to upgrade from the mini 2 since they use the same controller. the bigger battery life, vertical video, bigger sensor, and no need for a new controller are great and make a good argument to upgrading without buying the controller for a little under $1k for the fly more plus
Sadly it will not connect to the Smart Controller because of the OS3. I need a smart controller for HDMI out. It appears it does not even work with the new RC Pro.
This looks to be the best Mini drone ever. Great review, I always learn so much from you video's, and you have fun along the way. Thanks for sharing, and I'm looking forward to seeing more MIni 3 Pro videos on your channel.
So, I run the Autel Evo 2 Pro 6k V2, and I wouldn't trade it for any DJI drone, but I'd definitely add this Mini 3 Pro to my kit. It's pretty bangin' for such a tiny drone. Very impressed with it. The Mini from Autel has been around for quite a bit, hopefully we get a new one from them soon.
This is what im considering also. For my first drone I was considering the Air 2s. Now im thinking about this one. I wish this camera on the mini zoomed in a little more.
I wonder when they’ll have a firmware update to allow Air 2 and 2s to use that controller! That controller is everything! Especially because that SD card option to download the files directly on the controller so it’s not loading up your phone!
With the expectation that I'm stoked on my Mini 1 I got at Costco for $350, sure of course it's good. Weird it's creeping up in price but oh well. I use the Mini 1 for flying when camping and scouting. My main drone is the Inspire 2.
PLEASE try to pair that awesome O3 smart controller with an Air 2 / 2S and let us know. I would get one of these in a heartbeat if it worked with the older Air 2, and bonus...nice little mini with better camera. LoL. I seriously think DJI is missing out on not allowing the FPV goggles to work with the recent stuff (I also want to plug in HDMI digital FPV goggles to the USB C port and have it "share" the video for really bright days...PLEASE!!). Great review!
Mini drones from Dji are the best the company has. Is like a car company, and the popular cars is the core to make the company billing. Mini's are the popular car that makes Dji making money. I'm glad to see that these mini drone are getting way better on every release, because I fell more confortable to make money usign a cheaper drone that can delivery great footage them fly a drone that cost almost a car (here in Brazil).
Best means just that. The best. These are not "the best DJI has to offer" How can you say this is better than a Mavic 3 cine? Just because it's cheaper? That's not how the word best is used unless you tie it with words like "value" or "bang for buck".
@@jd2161 the best do not mean Better quality, Better technology. Best is the one that delivery what you really need for a price that is fair and the mini delivery this for a majority of People. With this sentence... Yes, mini drone are the best of Dji can offer.
How is everyone just glossing over that hilarious burp incident at 14:35 😂🤣😆 This is largely why I love this channel. Eugene is not afraid to make fun at his own expense to entertain while delivering great info.

Will it work just with the phone
Anyone know if the older DJI Smart Controller is compatible with the DJI Mini 3??
What about the Mini 2 controller? This is the question more people are asking.

Broo not the DJI backroom scene 😂😂😂

Cool ,DJI has been in the game for sometime and is getting better and convinient with every update .
Thank God i waited to see what the MINI 3 can do
This is exactly what i wanted
A small lightweight 249g Drone that removes alot of the crazy restriction BUT without sacrificing a lot of the bigger drones specs
4K 60FPS should be the standard for any Drone in 2022, and glad to see they upgraded that along with flat colour profile and new lens
always felt the Air 2s was a bit too expensive especially if you want the fly more combo
Great review as always
Would love a direct comparison to the Air 2S to see the speed difference, noise level, low light test, and overall feel of the drone etc etc
Flat colour profile without 8bit instead of 10bit, kinda ruins the whole thing for me. Probably better to just use the normal color profile and not mess with the colors in post to much
That strong wind/gusts test was impressive for something so light.
I like how you wrap things up and get straight to the point. Fast and precise!
Anyone can verify if this is genuine?
Vertical camera for TikToks! I ordered one immediately. I’m such a sucker for these things.
I was here when the title was "2206 DJI v27" lol
lol
Here in Canada. I’m beyond excited for this drone! Being sub 250G’s is a huge deal over here due to not having to register this drone which comes with restrictions. I’m returning my Air 2S for this one already. Thanks for the video!
Do you wanna sell your Air2s? If yes, how much?
@@thinkello Want to buy mine? Ottawa based.
Same case for the EU. Since its
AIR2S still better imo

What incredible engineering.
Potato Jet vids crack me up every time, this guy must be such good fun to spend some time with🤣
Nice upgrade to lowlight shots. Ready to go from Mini 2 to Mini 3 Pro!
I just got the notification that Dji released the new mini 3 and I went straight to your channel to see if you uploaded...... YAYYY
hahah same!

Literally the only persons review I care about 😃
You are close to a million bro. Hope you get there soon, can't wait!!
The dji back room made the whole video just that much better
It was good seeing you in Pedro the other day. I was thinking about getting this drone. I still have a couple generations DJI back
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start giving us 10 bit on all the drones. That's all I want!
Looks like they fixed everything I had complained about the mini 2. Sure looks amazing.
isaiah mustafa's offscreen persona is exactly what i imagined soley based on his commercials
Love the DRT drone recovery tool, line throwing style! Mine is a long aluminium pole with flexible wire style tie down on the end!
One time I just cut the tree down with a chainsaw
Loved the dramatized capture scene!! More! More!!
Tiny but definitely mightier this time. Hello Mini 3!!!
I just realized that's the old spice guy... the voice.. damn! it's nice to see him geeking out on this channel!
best thing about this drone i wish my air2s had is the upward tilt gimbal
You are friends with the guy who used to be with Neve Campbell. Respect.
I just got the Mini 2. I'm glad I didn't wait for this one. The features are great on the 3 Pro but the bump in price doesn't seem to be worth it.
don't agree im thinking about selling my mini 2 300 dollars more the specs on this
beast of a drone

Having occusync 03 like the Air 2S is worth it plus the extra flight features that the Mini 2 doesn't have.
The dynamic range is the Achilles heel of the Mini 2. If the 3 is demonstrably better (rather than just on the spec sheet) I would probably upgrade. It’s the difference between OK footage and great footage.
@@burger7614 same going to try to sell mine

quick, quick, quick, lets all go and get this new drone as we all need a new DJI drone.
I just got the Mini 2 fly more combo yesterday and it also comes with a similar two way charging hub with 3 batteries.
1:14 - pure gold
Just bought the dji mini 2... now I have to start saving up again
Great review. Love seeing the San Pedro scenes neighbor!
LMAO that back room scene was Hilarious.... Great review keep it up Bro..
Thanks for this dude! I have never owned a drone before and wanted to go for the Air 2S...but this little guy will do just fine for what I want to do.
This is what im considering also. For my first drone I was considering the Air 2s. Now im thinking about this one. I wish this camera on the mini zoomed in a little more.
Try the latest firmware update for the nano, it now has super wind resistant. It can now handle any dji mini drone in the wind , awesome job autel
ye i think so. And i think the video quality of nano+ is better !
@YuanGuoTec video also man, exactly
@@keytiger7 We will have to wait for the comparison to get a clearer idea. I only own the nano+
Now I am using Mini 3 Pro RC drone to shot my beautiful country. I love it :)
Damn DJI's back room! Hahaha love it!
excellent overview Gene!
I heard they released an update making it 10bit video now too.
In a sea of dji mini 3 reviews, Potato Jet gets priority
I wonder when they’ll have a firmware update to allow Air 2 and 2s to use that controller! That controller is everything! Especially because that SD card option to download the files directly on the controller so it’s not loading up your phone!
The controller has 8 gbs of storage but is mostly filled up with the firmware updates
@@kevm4597 the controller has a micro SD card slot for expansion
Bow and arrow with fishing line attached to it works also.
Dude the back room video you did was hilarious
Can you revisit the Sony fx6 I would like to see a updated review on what you think of it months later/year
You should compare the image quality to the Mini 2
"- Why you are in knees, and your drone just crush?" 😄. Beautiful review! Great and funny video!
Thank you for the review. It’s strange with the battery alarm up wind. I’ve seen it on other channels as well and it did the same.
I was looking for the NITS info and you have it. Thank you!
Great job on the video! I got lots of good info from it. Thanks Potato Jet!
Wow beautiful👍👍
DJI's Unspeakable Backroom! LOL
Way to survive the drone attack! Awesome video. :) 🎉
I still have the DJI Mini 1 and it works great for me. Plus it's around $200 used.

Has anyone else noticed the pixel binning with this drone. I don't own one but with every demo video I have seen so far it seems like sharp lines have major stair stepping (as in pixel binning).
I’ve seen a few photos on TH-cam videos so far but there’s some compression there. Could do with seeing a few uncompressed.
Great video. One of the best on the mini 3 I have seen. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for comparing it with the Autel!
