Great to know you can do these things. I've just bought the mini 3 and it's incredible! I can't get my head around how this tiny little plastic 'toy' can do all this stuff. There's some very intelligent engineers out there who put this thing together and for such a reasonable price! Wow.
I just got mine yesterday too. Super excited to get good, kinda wishing I would have paid the extra $250 for the extra batteries. Did you get the coverage plan that pops up on your RC and gives you 48hrs to decide?
@@jordanbrock8055for the extra batteries you can buy the Dji mini 3 pro fly more kit, it’s compatible but the propellers aren’t, or you can just buy the batteries separately
Lots of tips that might be used some day in the future. Just unboxed the gear, charged and updated software, staying alive will be the first goal, when the British weather (rain) ends in Sweden. Joking!
One personal tip if you're new to the hobby: immediately purchase the warranty. No matter how careful you are, there's so much bs that can destroy your drone. I didn't buy it and thought I was being safe until I got attacked by a bird. I crashed and it cost $60 to send it back in for repairs. The cost would've paid for the warranty anyways.
100% I am decently experienced, but still managed to unrecoverably crash my drone in a lake on vacation last year. Insurance allowed me to pay 169$ for brand new drone instead of over 700$
Imho.. not worth it. Mini 3 bundle in costco is $340. DJI wants almost $100 for 2 year warranty with 2 fly always. Each fly away would cost you 1/2 price of the drone. DJI is too greedy.
@BB-fp6gh wife just bought mine for my bday from Costco and got to fly it today for the first time, I was concerned whether to get the warranty or not. Even if it's 100 for my first year wouldn't it be best I get it in case it crashes? Or I need to get it repaired for some reason? I mean paying $100 sounds better than paying $340 isn't it?
@@Jjoonaass one year is $59. Two year is $89. If you worry about crashing your drone, buy 2 year care refresh. I was talking about fly always costing 1/2 the price of the drone which is crazy imho.
Pal your the first that's been brilliant on the dji mini 3 the rest always want to do mini 3 pro am a complete beginner bit nervous I won't lie so keep them coming the videos and advice for the dji mini 3 cheers
I love the Mini 3 and am glad we went with it, saving the cost on the Mini 3 Pro. It has substantially the same features, and is excellent kit. Glad to find this video, once again Matthew hits one out of the park with a great video on some features even I didn't know about!
11:40 I bought my first sony handycam in about 2004 or so. This trick was one of the first ones advertised back then to not break your lens. Because so many people were giving it as a tip, I always thought this was a huge practical concern. Well, now like 20 years later I realized that I have never bumped the lens of any of my cameras during the years to anything. I'm onto you, UV filter scammers! 😁😁🤣
I've just bought a mini 3 drone only (after crashing my mini 3 pro) and it's great to see how many of the pro features I can still access on this entry level model.
As you mentioned in your video about Nudge/Hand launching the DJI Mini 3, I had a doubt. I recently bought a DJI Mini 3 and tried the technique you used, but the propellers didn’t start. An error message popped up saying “Compass calibration required” because I was holding it in my hand and it wasn’t placed on a flat surface. 2:20
Thanks from Aus Matthew. Always learn something new watching your channel. Great clear instructions. One thing I've been pushing DJI for is waypoints for Mini3Pro.
Happy to help, and thanks for watching! Waypoints on the Mini 3 Pro would be great, and I would love to see them added - however I think they will probably keep waypoints for the Mavic 3 lineup.
Hi Matthew. I have written to DJI about waypoints and it looks promising that they are considering adding same to mini3pro. here is their latest response; "We are sorry to say that currently, we cannot make you any guarantee in terms of a specific date and time about when this will become available. In order to try my best to help you, I will further discuss it with our senior engineers and will get back to you within 3-5 business days. Thanks for your understanding and support of DJI. Best Regards, Jonathan DJI Technical Support" I feel that a little more pressure might push them into developing the upgrade.
After seeing this video i bought the dji mini 3 fly more combo with rc remote. Thats because im a farmer and want to take videos of me cutting hay. BTW thanks for posting this helped me alot
Thanks for the video, i have a question for you guys... I know that it isn't possibible to make hiperlaps with mini 3 NOT pro... But statitics timelaps? I can't find the right workflow 😢
Another good tutorial 👍 You identified the potential need to protect the lens by using a UV filter. Is it worth purchasing a screen protector to prevent scratches and would it interfere with touch selection and screen brightness? Thanks atb Taff 🤠👊
Hi Mathew, im new to the drone scene, just bought the DJI Mini 3 with RC. Been watching you're video's to try gain some knowledge on how it works. Thank you for the tips, looking forward to getting out to fly once this weather picks up!! Good old Northern Ireland lol. Would love to meet up some day you are heading out and find out a bit more if possible? Also where the best places to fly. Cheers. 👍
Thanks for your tutorials , no I don't have a DJI 3 or 3pro , but I do appreciate your information delivery , just easy to understand and , your not flashy using big words , just good proper english.... But as soon as I can I will save and buy either or,.... Much Respect from the Monterey California area 🌊🤝🏻
Hey :) very useful video. Thank you for sharing . Can you tell us something more about the temperature range it can be used within ? What about winter time and below zero temperature? Or some heat above 30 degrees celcius ? Is it waterproof and can be used during rainy days ? Can it be charged with battery bank ? Which is the available space on it? Can I add extra memory card ? I would be grateful for your advice :) ciao ! Saluti!
I just got a Mini 3 and am eager to learn. This was very helpful. I had wanted the Mini 4 Pro, but thought I'd start with the Costco pkg. for the Mini 3, which was much cheaper, and break myself in to a more pricey one. Subbed for the learning as well as the accent! ;)
I've been rolling with an old school DJI Phantom 3 (standard) that is limited by its 720p camera. At the time, a bunch of years ago, 1080p was the gold standard. I never fly it anymore, in part because of the newer FAA restrictions of the bigger, heavy drones. I saw the Mini 3 at Costco last week for $100 off making it $299 and saw some of this current "ban" crap that's going on so I bought the Costco special and have already spent a couple-a-few hundred bucks additional for batteries, accessories, carry case, etc. The Mini 3 from Costco is the greatest deal and in reality, even though it's minus a very few marginally necessary features of the Pro, it's really all you need to have a blast with a drone and has some pretty awesome photography capabilities.
Thanks, Matthew! I didn’t know about the quickshot circle trick (I actually haven’t used the quickshot feature at all yet) and I didn’t know about the pano sphere. Pretty cool! Have you produced a video or have a suggestion about how to record tutorials using your phone for the audio with your drone flying nearby and doing video? I tried the other day with a lavalier and found that I had to get the drone pretty far away from me to not hear the propellers on the recording. Thanks!
Am getting the mini 3 combo plus with the RC for 756 USD after 125 USD discount so now should I go with the mini 3 or the pro? Spending 370 USD more really worth for the mini 3 pro?
Question. How can you still take images in intelligent mode? For instance, quickshots, circle. While the drone is circling, how do you take still images instead of filming?
dear matthew good afternoon from greece ... i watch your video and you have doing great job ... congratulations .. i am new drone operator and i buy mini 3 pro , theses techiques work in 3 mni pro or only 3 ???
Great video didn't know that 30 fps mode has a better quality I have to compare it i might still like 2,7k 60fps more it looks so much smoother when you turn the camera
Hello bro, your video was amazing how you do active track mode on mini 3 in the controller with out option subject scanning mode or botton to turn on please help
This active tracking thing , can it be done from behind i mean can drone follow us from behind as in this video you are showing active tracking from side. Also epidemic sound website , is it not free of cost ? Thanks .
The dji mini 3 does not have active tracking the quick shot circle option is a setting for the intended purpose of creating a single circular shot. What it’s demonstrated on the video is not actual active tracking but a really limited way for the drone to fallow you. The dji 3 pro has active tracking even dji website states that the dji mini 3 does not have active tracking regardless thanks for this well made video.
Thanks a lot for this video. My mini 3 only circles when I am stand still or walk very very slow. If I try to walk as in this viedo, it stops (without any possible collision around) :(
Hello from Madrid! Mate I can not find the lateral accesory that you showed at the end, that 2 lateral plastic ones where the lanyard hooks and keeps the remote horizontal… the link only shows the lanyard can you help me?
Question: had a mini 3 for a few weeks, all good but now I can’t quick transfer, I get a message that says : unable to play video, retry or download video before playing. It then will either take 30 mins for a 10 second clip to download or it won’t download at all. Could this be due to file size? As I have now started videoing in 4k, but started out in 1080p and all was ok? Please help!
Is sphere panorama found in video mode and photo mode, and could you explain how to access it ? Also, can I run epidemic sound on a Mac Laptop or is it for PC only ? Thank You.

How much does it cost
Lots of tips that might be used some day in the future. Just unboxed the gear, charged and updated software, staying alive will be the first goal, when the British weather (rain) ends in Sweden. Joking!
OMG I’ve been searching for years how I can track myself. Your video saved me from buying a pro model! Thank you so much ❤
Hi mate, this "follow me" mode... is it only for straight walking or does it follow you even when you change direction?
One personal tip if you're new to the hobby: immediately purchase the warranty. No matter how careful you are, there's so much bs that can destroy your drone. I didn't buy it and thought I was being safe until I got attacked by a bird. I crashed and it cost $60 to send it back in for repairs. The cost would've paid for the warranty anyways.

Very useful tutorial! Everything is explained briefly but clearly. Respect and compliments!

That "track hack" is great! I wonder if the Mini 2SE would behave the same way using the Circle quick shots effect.
I just bought mini 3 yesterday and this is so helpful

Just got a mini 3 and loving all of these tips - fantastic!
Thank you for explaining that side-tracking feature!!! Great video and info.
gracias por la informacion. muy interesante la opcion de tracking usando quickshot
Thank you bro I’m getting flying I love the mini 3 I was thinking to upgrade to the pro but I’m happy you showed mi these features lol😂

Just confirmed the Mini 3 is the perfect mini drone for me
Hi I fly multiple drones, now the mini 3 and this video helped me in my search for settings. Thanks a lot and many more hours of flying Rob
I've just bought a mini 3 drone only (after crashing my mini 3 pro) and it's great to see how many of the pro features I can still access on this entry level model.
Thank you SO much about the LED information. I’ve been searching the net to see about the lighting. How visible are these lights at night?
Thank you. I just got one and can't wait to get flying and filming.
Enjoy your new drone!

Great info Mattheww. Really appreciate the time and effort. Getting the Pro, but always something that can apply to that as well.
Thank you - hope the tips help!
i just got mine and crashed it already 🤣 luckily it doesn’t have any damage but I’m more careful now. thank you for your tips!!
Thank you so much for the advice and tips here, will definitely be using this for future videos in my drone journey 😊

Awesome my friend this is an amazing video 🎉 watching you from Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷 and flying on a mountain region 😮
that fake track is awesome
What’s ur recommend editing software for beginner
Great video
Question. How can you still take images in intelligent mode? For instance, quickshots, circle. While the drone is circling, how do you take still images instead of filming?
Thanks again Matthew. I hope you're ready for your channel to explode on Christmas afternoon!!!
haha, lots of drones under Christmas trees I bet! Thanks for watching!
Can you make a video for the mini 3 best settings to cine normal sport to make better footage?
One thing about a DJI mini drone, it only gets better!
Absolutely, these mini drones are really incredible now!
subbed 😎👌 some genuinely interesting stuff for me as a potential mini 3 buyer
I loved the trick about walking and using the circle mode haha ! genious !
This might just be the reason I stick with this and not get the pro version. I really like the tracker feature.
thanks sir for sharing this video..very nice
What type of editing software for beginner you would recommend
Thank you again. Excellent information and excellent at teaching it
1:57 - i had no idea, thank you. Loved and subbed!
Thanks for the sub! Welcome along!
Thanks for some great tips m8 😎💪🏼 ur awsome
Brilliant man. Thanks Matt.

Great information clearly explained as always, Mattheww. Cheers from Wisconsin, buddy.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
my mini 3 just survived a crash with only prop damage im impressed.
Happy to hear it lived to fly another day!
very helpful tips.Thanks
Great video didn't know that 30 fps mode has a better quality I have to compare it i might still like 2,7k 60fps more it looks so much smoother when you turn the camera
Yeah 100% I don’t see anyhow 30fps is anything close to 60fps maybe he has different preferences
Hey Matheww, thank you for these great videos. A huge fan! Question, do you have a video or opinion on the N1 remote versus the DJI RC remote? Thanks!
Good god that location is absolutely beautiful. Can I ask where this is? I'm so ridiculously jealous...
Northern Ireland!
Hello bro, your video was amazing how you do active track mode on mini 3 in the controller with out option subject scanning mode or botton to turn on please help

Why no nudge launch on the mini 3 pro? Looks like a great way of launching.
Seems no nudge now even for mini3. Tried and drop my drone😀
Thanks a lot for this video. My mini 3 only circles when I am stand still or walk very very slow. If I try to walk as in this viedo, it stops (without any possible collision around) :(
Do you have a play list of all aboute the mini 3 ?
Thanks for another great video

Very good to know all this! The new DJI fly app has new cool features too. love how all these come together for an incredible flight experience
Hi I have one question. I hope you can answer for me? Can I turn on track mode to follow topwater lures? Thanks
Is sphere panorama found in video mode and photo mode, and could you explain how to access it ? Also, can I run epidemic sound on a Mac Laptop or is it for PC only ? Thank You.
Will this work in the drone is in front of you looking at you as you walk?
How can you get the quick shot option i looked everywhere in my dji app but cant find it😊m
Great video!
Brother don’t know you but I like you!
Wheres the best site to buy spare propellers for dji 3 mini
I suggest buying directly from DJI. I previously ordered some from Amazon, but the quality was very poor.
Woow nice explantion sir.. Excellent
Great video thanks
Fookin Legend man!
