Is the Mini 3 Pro an Air2S Killer? - Photo Comparison - Video Comparison​



Could DJI's Mini 3 Pro beat out their own Air2S. This is a battle of the small drones and the small sensors. The Air2S has a 1' Sensor and the Mini 3 Pro has a 1/1.3' Sensor.

DJI Mini 3 Pro - Which combo/package to buy // Fly more kit? Smart Controller compatibility​



Which kit, combo or package to get with the Mini 3 Pro. This time is different because normally you want the fly more kit for the extra battery and ND filters. But with the Mini 3 Pro, DJI isn't including ND filters in the fly more kits.

That means you could just order the drone with whichever controller you want, then buy 1 extra battery and the ND filter package separately.
You really want a second battery no matter what, just trust me please.
You will need ND filters if you want to get pro footage or go down that path later on.
Those two are the only essentials.

The Smart Controller that comes with the Mini 3 Pro is called the DJI RC. This is not the same as the big black one that comes with the Mavic 3 Cine (DJI RC PRO) but I STRONGLY recommend especially since its not much more for that package.

This one is only compatible with the DJI Mini 3 Pro (RIGHT NOW)
When I was testing this drone before launch for DJI and I was using the beta version of the controller, it let me connect to Air 2S or Mavic 3, no clue why that was.
Maybe they were testing the feature, maybe it was just because I had the prototype software/controller and it isn't a feature that works very well.

I'm hopeful (like we all are) that they add compatability for the Air 2S at least becuase that would be awesome.

Right now only the DJI RC PRO smart controller can control the Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Cine, and Air 2S.

DJI Mini 3 Pro Review - HUGE upgrades!​



DJI Mini 3 Pro is HERE and this drone REALLY performs. DJI sent me the Mini 3 Pro early to review in-depth. Look at this footage at sunset and in beach wind, dynamic range is much better. I’ve had some time with the Mini 3 Pro and this thing is a huge step up from the Mini 2:

1/1.3” Sensor f1.7
4K 60fps
Hyperlapse
Collision Sensors
D-Cinelike
Active Track
Vertical Filming
Dedicated Smart Controller
47 min battery (optional)

I’ll keep posting more footage with it but holy cow I am so happy they added hyperlapse to this drone, that is something I really love to do.

Tri-Directional Collision sensors are a huge deal too.
Vertical filming thankfully isn’t a parlor trick, it is full 4K, no quality loss

They said they don’t want the Mini 3 Pro to compete with the Mini 2. This drone is supposed to be for getting professional sellable quality while prioritizing the size and convenience of the Mini - under 250g
