Thanks for the info. I an upgrading from a Spark to Mini3. After watching a Mini2 in action, impressed with longer flight time. Doing mostly still vacation photos selling point was camera looks up and flight time.
Mini 2 owner here. While I love the idea of a M3 or M3P, I will wait until the SDK is published so Litchi and Maven can fully function on a more expensive drone. Good for DJI in continually improving their product line - pretty cool stuff. There is some scuttlebutt that suggests DJI will not be releasing a SDK for the M3P. Hope that is not the case.
Very nice, but I'm wondering if DJI is oversaturating the market. This is like the 4th or 5th model out this year. And with Mini 1, 2 and 2s clogging the second hand market is this going to blow up on DJI?
bought the mini 3 and have had it for a month... now i want the 3 pro... i should have just gotten the 3 pro to start with LOL now i have to muster up another $800 for the pro
The main feature if Love for a small compact drone for travel and adventures is the active track which is why I sold my mini 2 and looking to get the mini3 Pro so I always bummed out when it was not included…I have to r Air2s for most of my drone shots ..but it’s too big for my mountain biking so I’m still leaning on the mini3 pro or wait for a mini 4 pro or mini 4 with active track and bigger sensor ..
amazing video so concise and amazing audio clips for the sound, everythign i was looking for, i love this video, i will use ur referral link later if i buy haha
I still think the mini 2 is the top beginner drone. I didn't think they were going to gate keep the frame rates and dcine. without those options this is mostly just a sensor and lens upgrade. I know it's objectively better in other things as well like flight noise and flight time but I don't value those very highly for a new pilot who's still learning imo.
Dont know I chose it for the flight time so... Granted the drone i had before this could only fly for about ten minutes lol. and the video was garbage and would drop out after 200ft
Hello Aldryn. Thank you for your excellent overview video on the new Mini 3. They've packed a few more good options into the new drone. Your video and image comparison on this drone is excellent. The Mini 3 sure has outstanding imaging. Thank you for another fantastic video review and comparison of the new DJI Mini 3. Take Care.
Awesome video as always Aldryn. I noticed that when the Mini 3/Mini3Pro videos were side by side of that tall building doing an orbit...the Mini3Pro video looked brighter and more saturated...not sure if there was a time or weather difference between the 2 videos during recording. Still though, the Mini3 video was pretty good
The sensor size is not slightly larger though. It goes from a 6.16x4.62=28.46mm^2 size sensor to a 10x7.5=75mm^2 size sensor. This is 2.6 times the area, so 2.6 times more light captured, not even taking into account the also hugely improved aperture, you gain another 1.5 stops more light. In the end, the mini 3 will be able to capture 6.5 times more light on its sensor in the same exposure. More light = less noise and more dynamic range.
Why do you like the RC Controller over the standard controller with a cell phone? I have a Samsung Galaxy S22+ - it has a larger screen. It has a brighter screen. I can run other apps on it like Litchi. Is is simply the time saved connected the phone to the controller?
Compared to the Mini's original market, the Mini 3 and pro version are far over-priced for this series. Typical buyers of this category were never looking for these advanced cameras and features, but rather a solid machine with low running costs below 250g. Their main idea to offer an affordable top quality drone that did not require registration was brilliant. Crash one of these new Mini 3's and you will be out $1k- not cheap. Batteries and insurance costs more, too. Once again, DJI has shown their greed by offering machines that are twice the original price of the concept. I actually expected this. No thanks, I'll pick up a nice cheap Mini 2 at most. For the money, they are mini work horses at 1/3 the cost. Thanks for the video and have a great weekend.
Why do y’all exclude the original mavic mini?? It’s part of the DJI mini line up and yeah it’s over a few years old now but come on. Y’all can’t exclude the one that started it all
Just wish I could have one of the DJI drone as a Christmas gift but it feels impossible to my parents who can't afford it 😢😢 back here in Nigeria I am currently using by mom's phone for comment. My name is Emmanuel.
Very happy that the Mini 3 can now shoot in 48mp. Seems like an amazing drone for the price. Cant wait to get it
after 6 months still the best video that compares similar models side by side. thanks a lot!
I went to a mini 3 from an original Air my god what a difference. Just miss the collision detection a little.
Thanks for the info. I an upgrading from a Spark to Mini3. After watching a Mini2 in action, impressed with longer flight time. Doing mostly still vacation photos selling point was camera looks up and flight time.
Enjoy it
Mini 3 Pro is worth the difference in price I think,simply awesome drone 👌
Nice just got my drone today Dji mini 3
You should unbox the mini 3 from costco i see not alot of people unboxing only mini 3 pro.😊😊
very comprehensive review ! thanks

Can't believe we're getting this amount of tech for a mini drone! I'm impressed!
I know
I cant wait for my mini 3 to arrive…I am a first time flyer😅
Isn’t this the exact same thing as the mini 3 pro just without sensors?
I'm waiting for a second gen fpv, the big one that goes 90mph that thing is so badass
Thanks Aldryn
I wish I could have one of these insane drone.
I wish I could become a drone technician like and my wish this season is to get a drone but my parent don't have the money.
If you use the controller that connects to your smartphone you can get better cell service the higher the drone gets.
No
Awesome video my friend 🎉 watching you from a mountain region of Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷 and flying here 🎉
If this Mini 3 uses Ocusync2 just like the Mini 2, then maybe DJI will open up the RC Controller to the Mini 2. Do you think that might happen?
Very nice, but I'm wondering if DJI is oversaturating the market. This is like the 4th or 5th model out this year. And with Mini 1, 2 and 2s clogging the second hand market is this going to blow up on DJI?
But every drone has his target, finally there are some options
You are the best, I like the way you take ur time n explain everything
Mini 3 is on sale at Costco for $429, with controller, 64 gb SD card, and nd filters.
bought the mini 3 and have had it for a month... now i want the 3 pro... i should have just gotten the 3 pro to start with LOL now i have to muster up another $800 for the pro
Great video bro am learning about my drone today first fly
Excellent explained
But wondering who gonna buy this while we have the best alternative like mini 3 pro.😢
Price points for everyone
Cheaper but the features are very much like that of the Mini 3 Pro!
Fantastic review
Impression or is the mini 3 quieter than the mini 3 pro?
Love your videos
Thanks Aldryn!
Great video buddy. Looks like I'm back to wanting a drone again. Mini 3 Pro is looking like the best one to get thank you
Isn’t the largest pixel size the reason why Mini 3 performs better than Mini 3 Pro in low light?
The main feature if Love for a small compact drone for travel and adventures is the active track which is why I sold my mini 2 and looking to get the mini3 Pro so I always bummed out when it was not included…I have to r Air2s for most of my drone shots ..but it’s too big for my mountain biking so I’m still leaning on the mini3 pro or wait for a mini 4 pro or mini 4 with active track and bigger sensor ..
it does have active track wdym
Great review, another option to get for a compact drone.
What'up- lik it. you uploaded fantastic channel~all the best!
amazing video so concise and amazing audio clips for the sound, everythign i was looking for, i love this video, i will use ur referral link later if i buy haha
Appreciate the words 👊

It’s only 20$ more now
Mini 2 is both a better value
And a better beginner drone, the price difference is huge
Awesome review as always Aldryn 👍🏻💪🏻
I appreciate that
Great Review. Lots of choices in the Sub 250 Minis
Yes
Love the content Aldryn
Hello Aldryn. Thank you for your excellent overview video on the new Mini 3. They've packed a few more good options into the new drone. Your video and image comparison on this drone is excellent. The Mini 3 sure has outstanding imaging. Thank you for another fantastic video review and comparison of the new DJI Mini 3. Take Care.
Great comparison, THANKS. I just realised ther’s no possibility to shoot time- or hyperlapses with the Mini 3. Right?
Photo time yes. No hyperlapse
Thank you for your great presentation , as useful . My question : Does the new Mini 3 has " Hyperlapse " feature ?
No. Not sure if it’s coming
Awesome video as always Aldryn.

Same time no clouds one 2 min apart
What happened with Mini 2... Main selling point of Mini 3 is the vertical camera but I wouln't pay half the price just for that.
Agree : Actually the top price of mini 2 ( Combo ) is 600 USD , While for the new Mini 3 ( Combo ) is 858 USD !!!
Bigger sensor with better image quality. But at this price point it should have at least front optical sensors imho.
Don’t forget massive flight time difference
Definitely not just that, just the follow feature and the color profile it's enough for the target audience of that drone
True. The lower noise can also be life saver. Thank you for your detailed comparisons.
Hey ik this vid is 1 year already but im gonna get the mini 3 this month but I think its sold out do you think mini 4 is worth it?
Hi. I have a mini3. Do I need to register a drone with the police?
Are you in America?
Do we have hyperlapse on Mini 3?
Would you consider the mini 3 pro an upgrade over the air 2s?
No. But the smaller size is really nice
They should make dji mini 2 pro with sensors
Is there timelapse for the mini 3?
Only Timed photos
Awesome
Mini 2 is the best value for a beginner IMO.
Any for sale
I'm wondering with Ocusync 2, can I use my M2P smart controller with it?
From what I have read ....😢...no the smart controller will not work with the mini 3.
Mini 3 supports HDR video with 30fps. But I don't have any info for the Mini 3 Pro.
What's the HDR video option available for Mini 3 Pro?
Same. 4k 30 hdr on the pro.
Can the Dji mini 2 battery be used on the Dji mini 3?
Nope
My Mini 3 doesn’t have the Pano mode. Please help
is the battery the same ?mini 3 and mini 3 pro?
Yes
Does the Mini 3 support RAW (.dng) photo shooting in 48 Megapixels?
Mini 3 support raw (DNG) and limited to 12MP but Mini 3 Pro support 48MP
12 jpg raw

I have no idea what this all means but mini 3 it is!
(mini 2 vs mini 3)
Why my mini 3 drone do not have tracking mode ?
Because it’s not an option on the mini 3. The mini 3 does not have obstacle avoidance.
you must bu ythe mini 3 pro! thats the item with active tracking. sad we got the mini 3 without active track..

It’s not being sold anymore
It should be mini Se 2
Beginner drone i dont think so.
A beginner is not going to spend 600 Euros for the first drone is to expensive.
Just wish I could have one of the DJI drone as a Christmas gift but it feels impossible to my parents who can't afford it 😢😢 back here in Nigeria I am currently using by mom's phone for comment. My name is Emmanuel.
hyperlapse
Hdr video
Man… I don’t even have a drone I’ve been waiting for years but am too poor…
Another blind drone. So sad! Expencive and stupid ?
Not worth buying because very bad batteries and nothing even near 38 minutes as advertised
