This is the long in the making follow-up to my DJI Mavic 3 and Mini 3 Pro review covering the main parts of the firmware updates which have made both drones much better...but have they done enough? I also cover the new version of Cine/ Tripod mode, which directly resulted from the petition I started in December 2021.

We have the new tripod mode firmware for the Mini 3 Pro finally. I am editing a video about it right now. Here’s a little clip from it. :)
th-cam.com/video/QmHBxyMluN4/w-d-xo.html
I've become a bit of a fan since your X3 video. And as I have a Mini3 Pro, seeing this just after the update was excellent - well done on the petition.
Any update on the noise reduction issue ?
@@jpbrochu5129 for the Mavic 3? Don’t be silly. I’ve been telling them about it since October 2021!
Thanks to you! 😅🎉
Hi Philip, great video! Mavic 3 pro has been out for a month now and now sharpness or noise controls... Do you have any update from DJI as to when/if we'll ever get it on the Mavic 3 pro?
Philip, the community has a lot to be grateful for with both your diligence and persistence.
On behalf of us all, thank you thank you thank you.
But DJI can’t tell me that I have to sell my Air 2S for 600 Euro and buy a Mavic 3 for 2k because they are not able to fix the max speed via firmware update.
Grateful for your relentless pursuit of this, Philip. It's astonishing how a company like DJI take so long to listen to someone like you, even with the petition! Come on DJI, sort it out, listen to the man and implement faster!
I am so sorry, never wanted to be that one guy who corrects other on internet but you can adjust Hysteresis curves and go really really slow.
@@CheapDeath96 Yup, we all know that. Thanks.
@@AzzurroWolf there for you all
Philip Bloom just continues to produce deep content that is so rare. His passion is relentless. We are lucky that this man continues to give so much to us and his cats! Thank you Sir.
It's always so refreshing to watch a PB TH-cam video. The consummate videographer and producer. Thank goodness you do still upload proper professional videos, so sick of seeing 'shorts' and tiktok videos being advertised. Tiktok is the pinnacle of utter crap...how people's standards and tolerances have dropped to such an appalling and incredible low.
Thank you Phillip. Take care and keep safe.
Philip, I can't begin to tell how much I appreciate your feedback to DJI. Your push for a better image is so obvious in your work. Even the most mundane shots are beautiful. Thank you.
Philip, waking up to find you have released a new video is like discovering your favorite TV show just dropped a new season unexpectedly. It's such a joy to go with you on the journey as you discover all the nuance and detail that you do. As a new Mavic owner you've given me much food for thought with this video and your previous two, and also opened my eyes to what this tool is capable of. Thank you for your efforts, it continually inspires me.
thanks so much!
Of all the creative content I've watched on TH-cam... yes, all of it (and I've watched probably an unhealthy amount), I find myself entirely mesmerised with the artistic creativity and mind-blowing knowledge you have and share. It's almost like, through your videography skills combined with your style and pace of delivery, you are able to unveil multiple perspectives of our natural surroundings that, for me at least, have become visually hidden in my perceptions of the environment around me. I don't know if it's just me, but I find myself sitting quietly for 5 minutes or so afterwards to allow my mind to process everything I've just watched and heard. So, this time, instead, I thought I'd mention it here.
Phillip; I will be a brand new subscriber of your channel starting today. This review was, BY FAR, the most comprehensive, intuitive, relentless and genuine video I've ever seen regarding these tools of creativity. Many channels miss this, with flashy videos and intros and sponsorship deals negatively impacting their audience and, in my opinion, considering them dumb. We are creatives, we need tools and our tools need to work.
This video is the perfect example of knowing and supporting your audience. Thank you Phillip- and cheers. I wish DJI pursued more firmware updates for their older models.
thank you :)
Comprehensive, intuitive, relentless and genuine is pretty much the standard for Philip's content.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video... Your voice is so relaxing that goes hand in hand with your smooth recording.. I wish you made documentaries as well...
Thank you for making YT a whole lot better. Yours is one of those channels whose content is peripheral to my work but where I learn useful info and absorb great amounts of art and craft.
The most informative and relaxing drone video series on YT. Well done sir, also using the drone as your a cam while speaking and removing the drone buzz in post? Bravo!
Philip, I didn't know about you or your channel until I started searching for the reason they sped up the OG Tripod mode and renamed it "Cine" mode. Thank you for what you did to put this into motion. We all owe you a big "thank you," for your persistence.
You are creating your own category of videos. I appreciate your pursuit of the details and also for the audio tips.
Thank you Philip! Much of my evolving in how I film and edit I account it to you - learning from your videos, bit of copying your techniques or resources, and your under the hood tuning hacks are visibly evidently effective in the results. Thank you!
I came across this video by accident. Then when I saw your name, I thought to myself, I remember this guy being really good, but this was probably about a decade ago. How I have not seen this channel is beyond me. You got another subscriber. Brilliant work.
I missed you Philip... so great to have you back doing one of the things you do so well... fantastic info.. thanks
Always a pleasure when a new Philip Bloom video posts. Good to see DJI has finally addressed the demand for tripod mode.
Philip, you are both very enjoyable and informative to watch. It's definitely more than just watching a regular TH-cam video. Many thanks for your efforts. Looking forward to the tripod mod for the Mini 3 Pro. Please continue. Greeting from Türkiye.
Thank you for being the voice of the people, all we want is to have the ability to pursue our passion of filmmaking without limitations. Without people like you providing professional feedback these companies would be continually putting out products that don't cater to their customers which always leaves a bad taste in your mouth, especially in an industry where our tools aren't cheap. You always push the boundaries in your reviews and your input is invaluable to the community, we are forever grateful
Came across your videos on the mavic fb group and my god, all your videos are literal cinematic movies. Really enjoyable watches. Good stuff.
Brilliant as always, I continuously look forward to your reviews. They are alway so much more than that though. Thank you Philip
Finally it's here, tripod mode for the Mini 3 Pro, thx for the great videos and for the petition.... this spring is going to be so much fun!
Hi Philip!
As usual, a very thorough and informative review.
However, with each of your videos, it is impossible to pay attention only to the content. His technical expertise in the production of each scene translates into a passionate dedication to the filmmaker's craft. His scripts, do not give up delivering accurate and relevant information, with a pleasant and witty language.
In short, your content remains unique in our community. And therefore, it is up to us not only to recognize, but also to thank for their dedication.
A big and fraternal hug from your friends in Brazil!
Televisual team
Thank you. That’s such a lovely comment, it’s enormously appreciated. 😊
@@philipbloom All of us in the audiovisual community have a lot to thank you for, Philip.
In all these years, more than growing with the information you've always shared, we've kept your dedication as a permanent source of inspiration.
You can be sure: your love for the work of producing images makes a difference in the lives of many people.
We are together!
Thanks so much for all the testing, comparisons, & tips 💚 all with visual examples
Every one of your videos is a must watch. Thank you so much for your work.
You do the best DJI feature reviews! Thanks so much for petitioning for these features, they are essential!
It’s great to hear that the new cine mode is gonna be available on the mini 3 pro, hope they don’t take too long!
YOURE INCREDIBLE!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR ART!!!
I stand with you on all fronts for DJI to make these changes and continue provide their customers with superior products and service!
A Philip Bloom TH-cam post? Masterpiece of story telling.
I've never seen such graceful maneuvers with a drone 😮
Everytime i see my notifications the you have a new video, i tend to drop everything i do and get a cup pf hot choco and some snacks and enjoy👍 spring and good weather is upon us here in Michigan, my M3 classic is ready to rock n roll planning to test it on a daffodil and tulip farm cine mode!
First video of yours that I’ve watched. I was hooked. Soo much information I never knew I needed to know. Brilliant video. Thanks.
Thanks 🙂
Wow, fantastic deep dive on drone cameras! Love this stuff! Glad I found your channel!
It's rare that I sit and watch a 10 minute video all the way through, let alone a ½hr one.
This was a true pleasure.
Thank you. 🙂
I once used tripod mode, and got comfortable pushing the sticks all the way forward/backward knowing that the software would prevent things from going too fast. Then the software glitched...and my little Mavic Air launched at me like a demon from hell. Since I was flying it toward me, infront of a client, indoors, no one noticed the blood as I grabbed the air before it hit anyone. Always good to have my little towel with me to wipe away sweat. Sometimes blood too.
What a bittersweet bit of news. I’ve been watching this saga unfold since I got a Mini 3 Pro in June of last year and signed the petition (I believe).
So, yay, they’re listening, and adding the ability to fly really slow on the drone I own (but not others?) someday (maybe?) and they’re totally gonna fix that spotlight issue (right???)
Oh, DJI - the amazing company that brings us incredibly intuitive counterintuitive tools that are simple yet frustrating to update with firmware that might make our drones way better or completely unusable.
Beautiful video again, Philip. Thanks!
A brilliant video. Thank you so much for making it. I've got a long journey ahead of me with these wonderful drones. Here's to learning and enjoying 🙂👍
fantastic review as always, Philip! Thanks for making these videos so DJI gives us what we really need
This man is such a wonderful joyful blessing. Thank you Phillip. Thank you endlessly.
Thanks, I didn't know about the Cine Sticks. Always appreciate your reviews. Thanks!
First video of yours I’ve watched & earned a Subscribe. Very professional video rich with information, I want to hear more & learn more. Refreshing 👏🏾
Thanks Philip for all your efforts and time to get us Tripod mode. We finally got yesterday.
This is amazing how you explain your beautiful cinematography. Well done. It's an inspiration for me. Something for me to aspire to.
I had no idea that the speed could be set, so I am really happy that I clicked on this video...what a cool function. I now I will be using that on my Mavic 3 Classic for sure.
Thank you 🙏🏽 for tripod mode Phillip. I’m New to drones and now know what I was missing on my mini 3 pro. (exploration here I come) !!
Thanks for the perseverance. Hope they refine it some more, so it works in all modes, and hopefully comes to more drones!
How the heck I haven’t stumbled across your channel before I’m not sure but glad I did. Excellent video.
I so need tripod mode in my Mini 3 Pro - am glad its coming but the sooner the better! Thanks a lot Phillip!!
It is finally there ... tripod mode in the Mini 3 Pro, yaayyy!!
Thank you, Philip. A year later, Mini 3 Pro still seems to be the sweetest cake on the market. Good!
Not quite a year! Let’s not unfairly age her! 😂
A proud subscriber! Always enjoy your content bro. Great job
Phillip, I started watching your videos many years ago when I stumbled upon your Letus Extreme DOF adaptor review. Fast forward to now - my Phantom 4 Pro is getting old, and it's time for me to get a new drone. Thanks for all the informative videos over the years, they have been very helpful.
Thanks Philip. I greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness and detail. I have the Mini 3 Pro and looking to get Mavic 3 Classic for cinematic footage and waypoint video.
Man I really enjoy your videos!! I have both the Mini3pro and Mavic3 Pro, I use them constantly for personal and professional projects and I actually didn't even consider half of the features and quirks you mentioned here. I guess once you get used to it you learn to deal its limitations. But it's good to have somebody at your level call out DJI to get things right. Thank you Sir!!!
As always, a most beautiful visual experience... and pleasure to watch.
What a joy to look at this video. Naturally the author is a very skilled filmmaker, but also a harmonic narrator. The choice of background music also complementes the themes brilliantly. I thank you for an informative and relaxing moment. Greetings from Finland, sincerely Ken
Love your videos mate, and love your cats. Outstanding effort once again.
Looking forward to your video on your new flatmate.
Thank you for sparking the creative in me (us all!)
Thank you so much to make Mavic 3 better. It’s a lot improvement since it first came out. Split ND also work perfect!
My solution for slow flying on the Mini 3 Pro is no sticks on the N1 controller and domed nuts on the RC controller threads.
Makes it much, much easier to hold a set control input.
Another great film. Thank you. Always a pleasure to watch and informative.
Great, thank you very plenty for your quest on re-launching 'tripod' mode.
I used to think the Tripod mode was useless until I educated myself. I found that I really miss it on the Mini 3 Pro, particularly because Cine mode is still very fast when flying low and close.
I purchased the cinesticks from Scotty makes stuff and now I’m able to get better slow shots. Downside is having to carry an extra box and being careful not to lose the parts.
are you switching to n mode then back to cine mode the app defaults to n mode even if the switch is in cine
Congratulations on the updated. This is definitely your doing!!!!
Thanks! Had no idea I could send a Thank You. Everyone! Send him some love!
That really kind, thank you! 😊
Thank you Phillip! DJI has some overall appealing products that I would otherwise probably buy and use, but flaws like their insistence on over sharpening make them unappealing to me. I am genuinely amazed that they have added the ability to turn down sharpening and noise reduction. I very much agree that they should bring both image control and slow flight control to their most recent models and then I’m likely to buy and use one.
Great video Philip, thanks for all you do in getting DJI to take note.
Thanks Paul, lovely to see you here. :)
Hi Philip, great video as always.
Which camera pack would you recommend using with Mini 3 Pro footage in FilmConvert... any in particular work well or just the default?
I often struggle to match to my FX6 footage unless the lighting is quite flat.
This is next level. Thanks for the informative review!
I didn't know Philip spoke Russian! this man never ceases to amaze me.
LOL
I was just thinking at the beginning if you made or will make a video about your sound edit…. And then you drop it into the middle of this video! Use an iPhone to get audio… so easy… So good. 👏🙌🏽
I have watched almost all of your TH-cam content and commented on how beautiful they are, how calming and serene almost melancholy they are… you are indeed a wonderful cinematographer.
The issue that I have, and it is entirely my own, is that there is a disconnect as a result of my lack of understanding of the basics of photography / videography. That is entirely on me. It doesn’t spoil the enjoyment of watching your content… it just saddens me that I don’t have that extra understanding or someone as good as you to teach me.
Nonetheless, I am always so pleased when that notification pops up with your next film… and slavishly I watch along and love the experience with just that tinge of regret that I don’t have the knowledge and therefore experience required to get the most of my Mini 3 Pro.
I therefore remain an avid subscriber and a very great admirer of the style, tone and beauty of your YT content.
Thank you Mr Bloom.
Thank you. What do you feel went over your head?
Oh really, it’s my lack of knowledge and awareness around ISO versus FPS etc… I think it could be described as a misspent career in which I chased being the best at my work rather than pursuing the things that interested me. All to no avail… or at least not nearly as fulfilling as I had hoped. Retired now, though young to be so, but burned out and tired… I had such big plans but burn out is very real for me and so I just enjoy content such as yours…
@@TiredOfAllOfThis ISO is the sensitivity to light. Don’t know if you’ve ever taken film photos but your bought 100 for bright days, 800 for average to low light and 1600 for low light. The higher the ISO the more film grain you saw. 100 being perfectly clean. It’s the same here with the drones. 100 is where the mini 3 pro is the cleanest, each time you move up to the next one that is a stop of light and the camera is boosting the signal to get there which adds noise, just like film. No you normally want to hide that noise, DJI were doing it with a heavy hand with the mini 3 pro and it totally destroyed the detail, they compensated with this by adding sharpness but all they were sharpening was mush. That’s why it’s best to do it in post production but it that requires knowledge and some skill to get the best results. That’s why I asked for them to do it to give people the option to be in control. The difference is huge if you do it well.
Frame per second just means how many frames (photos essentially) are captured each second. If you capture 60fps then tell your editing software to play it back at 30fps then you have slow motion. When shooting 120fps the drone does that for you so it plays back as slow motion.
Does that help?
@@philipbloom Mr Bloom, thank you so much for taking the time to explain. That is such a kind thing to do. I will have to “endure” watching your video again… hardly a chore and maybe I can then have a play with my Drone and see what I can do… thanks again for giving me this little tutorial. You are such a lovely man to help.
Made me glad i held on to my 2 Pro. DJI needs to hire you as a consultant! 👌
This has to be the best TH-cam channel I've ever been on :))
Thank you 😃
Thank you Philip Bloom, your work has paid off. The new firmware is here. Cudoz.
Love your reviews and this one is no exception! Especially love the music selection. Can I ask which library you got these from ?
Thank you. All from Audio Network.
As someone whose waited forever to purchased a new drone since the M2P is fantastic by most accounts. I appreciate the thorough overview of all the gritty details between these two models, which has made the purchase so hard! and I'll still be waiting it looks like...
Text book example of a proper review. 👏
Congratulations for your adopted cats. They deserve a better life that only caring people can give them and congratulations for your videos, always interesting to watch even being a little longer than average TH-cam videos. What's expected since you bring lot of useful info. Sorry my scrambled clumsy English.
He's a fellow cat lover. My wife and I have 6 indoor cats, and numerous outdoor cats we feed and take care of. Too many abused and neglected cats in the world.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you in the name of the cats. My wife and me have 11 indoor cats, three outdoor cats and we also spay lots of cats (not us, we take them to the veterinary clinic where they spay them (mainly females). Well, again, thank you for your moral consideration of the non human fellows.
Amazing video! Such great storytelling. Thanks for sharing.
You got me as a subscriber at Skiathos and Cats. The perfect combination, and your work is stunning 💯
Hi Philip, your video is an excellent insight into the DJI drones and is nicely presented. Thank you! Where is that beautiful maze you captured on minute 25?
That’s fantastic that your and those others voice’s were heard.
Heard...sort of.
I love your videos. I don't shoot myself, although I would like to. There's just something so soothing and enjoyable about your content
Super impressive! Fantastic flight through the birds flying ❤️👍
Waiting with baited breath for the mini 3 pro tripod mode ...so pleased you have brought us this news ...dji hurry up and release it .....
thanks Philip for everything. God Speed!
You mean “slow speed”!
I've never bought a drone before and always feel hesitant about it. But these cinematic drone shots are amazing for Mavic 3
@@mlyss22 ignore this fool.
Thanks for pressing for tripod mode. It looks really useful. I'm new to video with a ton of stuff to learn, it can be hard to know where to start. With many years experience in stills photography some things like composition, framing and telling a visual story I'm comfortable with. Spent a lot of time and money getting to grips with sound. Bought DaVinci Studio as a NLE with most potential, but have yet to get beyond very basic editing. I know I need to practice, practice and some more to gain familiarity then eventually skill. Yet to start colour grading so you can see my ambition easily outruns my knowledge and skill set.
I bought a DJI mini Pro from Wex just before last Christmas and intended using it for mostly video and photo shots, but sent it back, unused, early Feb for a refund as I hadn't found the time to learn how to use it. I intend to re-buy later, when I'm less busy (I have other hardware too that I really need to spend time learning how to use properly first). One concern I had re drones was the legal position on where you can fly and limited proximity to people, property etc that's permitted? In simple terms I'd appreciate knowing how you overcome this to really make the most of the mini pro's new tripod mode potential for jib, crane and gimbal like shooting? In practice is it all a compromise that means a gimbal and slider ate still pretty useful tools for dedicated camera ovements?
Wow. You make the mini 3 look so good. I was looking at other comparison videos and the quality differences were like night and day to me. Which makes sense because of the sensor sizes. Now, seeing your shots with the noise reduction turned down makes me think that tiny sensor will be good enough.
Hello @Philip Bloom ! Nice video as usual and thank you to make our voice heard by dji regarding control over sharpening and noise reduction which are the keys of getting a somewhat more organic image. Nervertheless I feel the mini 3 pro, as good of a drone it is, has kind of dull colors, far from what you'd expect from a 10 bit signal. Especially in dlog where I find like an orangy hue pollution rendering roofs or sand of beaches almost unnatural. I know we're in winter here in Europe and colors in nature are not at their best, but I've been comparing my two drones (air 2s and mini 3 pro) and the air 2s seems to have a lot more vibrant colors to it. By a good amount. And colors seem more balanced and with no hue. Greens look richer, oranges more natural... I tried to correct it with a x rite color chart in da vinci but still got a hard time getting consistent results with the mini 3 pro. Something's off with the color science or encoding. And i'm pretty sur it is not a matter of sensor size. My samsung phone with a smaller sensor can produce better colors. And also raw photos with the mini 3 dont seem to exhibit such problem (given it's a 12 bit raw file). What's your take on it ?
Hi Philip, I love your videos. Thank you as always for proving you’re one of the best. Just a little question for you. In your original review movie of the 3, you mentioned that ProRes allows us to capture a normal color in 10-bit. Mentioning that we don’t need to use HLG or D log for 10 bit. Do you still maintain that this is the case when shooting with the prores codec? Thanks again.
Really contemplating that Mini 3 Pro. I have the Air 2s and it's great and so is the Classic which I just picked up to replace it. However, the size of the Mini 3 Pro makes it seem like I would actually use it in situations where I wouldn't want to bring the larger ones, and as a result get better stuff. Hmm, decisions...
I picked one up a while back and find myself reaching for it now almost exclusively. The size was the most appealing initially but it’s much better than just its size. BTW… really enjoy your channel. You may have been the reason I bought a danged holographic fan. Lol
Wow. ! Remaining TEACHABLE and HUMBLE while watching this video can GREATLY benefit your Channel or Business! Yahooooooooooo
Mikey
That's what you call an outstanding review!
Excellent as every video you make. You will always offer us something that we do not know. I subscribe to what you have suggested Dji. I'm thinking maybe you should add the 10bit requirement to the Normal Profile as well!👍🇬🇷
A masterpiece of reviews.
Thanks for pushing the issue, Love it.
Beautifully done Philip, i hope dji listen as a happy philip means more dji videos which translates into sales of dji drones, sometimes it's almost like dji doesn't want sales and is helping the competition ?
