I have the mini 2. It's more than enough for me. It definitely is not enough to justify spending double what it is to upgrade to mini 3 pro

@Sage Majka But the air 2 is over 250g so a lot don't want to register/license themselves

@Armin Shah Really? With the ocusync 3? wow

@Armin Shah what you on about

@Armin Shah try updating the firmware, turning off wifi and Bluetooth and making sure you point the controller toward the Mini3. Then do the test flight again and report back here with the results.

I wanted to buy the mini 3 but the range is a disaster, it doesnt even reach 1km while the mini 2 can reach up to 6km

I love my mini 2 and as it does everything I need it too, there’s absolutely no need to upgrade now. The mini 3 pro is just too expensive.

I’m a big fan of your vids! Personally, I’m going to stick with the Mini 2. I liken drone tech to EUC tech. Both seem to get much more expensive from year to year. I get new technology equals higher price, but the recent inflation crunch has tightened my wallet.

I think if u just get into drone, the Mini 2 is at a very good price now and still has all the basics you need. The Mini 3 has many nice addons such as sensors, video quality and tracking but they price is also quite a bit higher.

@Frozn Fire can you register for both recreation and business profit even though you haven’t yet ready to use it for money making until in the future when ready?

Just got mine a month ago, it's a GREAT first drone - loving it so far. Might upgrade in the future, but don't see myself doing it anytime soon.

@Nathan V I mean the Mini 3 nearly has a 1 inch sensor too and f1.7 vs 2.8 which would make it overall better at lowlight I guess. Aswell as stuff like vertical shooting, quieter operation and a huge flight time if u dont care about the

The mini 3 pro isnt worth the price in my opinion because yeah you have sensors and follow things and the light weight but the air 2s has a 1inch sensor and you can find it for the same price. Only problem is the weight but most of the times they dont check your drone in places so it doesnt even matter. But yeah we shall see it the price drops

The mini 2 and se are prob the best for beginners

The Mini 2 is the smallest drone I own. It goes with me on the motorcycle or on hikes all the time. I'm a hobbyist only and people look at my photos and videos on their phones. Most aren't going to know if I flew a Mini 3 or a Mini 2, especially after I've edited the photos/footage before releasing them. I'd rather put money into my DSLR stuff before handing it over to DJI every time they put out a new model. :-)

@House of Spades A Modern Garden Guide digital single-lens reflex camera, like the Canon T7, etc.

DSLR?

Great comparison/highlight video! I’m gonna stick w my 2 (if I was hired more for drone captures then I could justify the upgrade) but really wish the 2 had object avoidance and very cool how the 3 u don’t need to use your iPhone for flying.

I have the mini 2 with combo pack and love it. I was going to get the mini3 on credit but changed my mind as its just to expensive when compared to what you get with the mini2 package. Also, i think the mini 2 camera gives a sharper image over the mini 3.

The Mini 3 isn't and shouldn't be considered a replacement for the Mini 2, they share the same weight class and name but that's it. The Mini 2 is a beginner / entry level drone, the mini 3 is a higher end drone more in line with the Air 2S sort of area in both capability and price point. Should you upgrade from the Mini 2 to the Mini 3, only if you were considering upgrading to the Air 2S.

You make a good point about the Mini 2 being compatible with the Litch app and other third party mapping apps. So if having access to these apps is important to you, upgrading to the Mini 3 is not in cards at this point. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

I got a Mini 1 which I picked up cheap in January, but the 3 Pro looks like a great upgrade for me, in particular the controller, 4k, and HDR. Thanks for the info :-)

Thanks for the informative video. I've been using the mini 2 for 18 months or so and love it. Still seriously thinking of getting the mini 3 pro for the extra features and larger batteries. Glad we don't have the weight restrictions here in NZ.

If you have no weight restrictions, why not just get, The Mavic AIR 2S or Mavic AIR 2? You can purchase a Refurbished Mavic AIR 2 Fly More Combo for $669, I only paid $714 shipped for the AIR 2 Fly More Combo & 1 Year Care Refresh Plan. it's the best deal out, on a awesome drone.

Cheers for that really useful comparison. I keep swaying back and forth with the Mini 3 and realise that it's not so much of an upgrade as a brand new drone. I think the stills and video camera specs would do it for me but I'm sad to say the new uprated battery will not be available in the UK. As I intend to work my way through the A2 CofC this may not remain a problem but I'll probably hold on to the Mini 2 for a few months at least.

I have waited to see what the mini 3 had to offer before jumping on a mini 2... doubled price was not what I wanted, and the newer options were irrelevant for my use. Still an impressive 250g model.

I enjoy my mini 2 a lot,but I’ve also pre ordered the mini 3 because of the upgraded sensors and camera.

Two biggest features that I want are tracking and HDR video/image quality. I’ll keep my Mini 2 and still buy the Mini 3.

I only bought mini 2 in January and flew it 3 or 4 times. Sell on eBay now for the better one

Those are same reasons I'm getting the Mini 3 Pro. Just not sure if I will keep the Mini 2 or not. Might sell as I'm sure once I get the Mini 3 my Mini 2 won't see the light of day.

I like the mini 2 design more than mini 3, mini 3 looks kinda derpy with that huge sensor infront

Thanks that was helpful as a Mini 2 owner. One thing I think you forgot was the mini 3 is also more more quiet if flight.

I purschased the mini 2, to be used as a hobby. And it OVERexceeds my expectations. It is a amazing little drone. I dont use it eneough to justify a upgrade. It just wouldnt make sense. The mini 3 seems to be a beast of a drone. Great specs ec. But to be honest, not specs I need as a novice flyer. Im pretty impressed on the 2. And im sure there is going to be a new one coming out every year. I have learned to be content with what I have instead of jumping to get the neweset when what i currently own is somthing I already consider to be a amazing product . Thanks for the great review pee usal

Hi Ignacio, thank you for this content. Last year I was considering the mini 2 but did not pull the trigger. Now the mini 3 with avoidance and other features looks attractive. My sole purpose of purchasing a drone would be for recreational purposes, use out when gravel cycling, around the house or at a park. Nothing commercial of with the intent of making money. I noticed the Mavic air 2 is priced attractively vs the mini 3. Would the air 2 be adequate for my purposes? Or am I looking over any advantages of the mini 3 other than weight?

FYI ... after more research, I've decided to.go with mini 3 pro.

I just got a Mini 2 with the accessories kit about a month ago. I'm very happy with its video quality, image stabilization and other characteristics. If I get a Mini 3, it won't be any time soon.

Fantastic breakdown. You answered every question I had about whether to upgrade or not. Thanks!

Front obstacle avoidance sensor should have been placed as like inavic 3 pro which would help in side ways obstacle sensing also

For my needs, my mini 2 is great. I have never crashed it so I don’t need obstacle avoidance and I would never use the vertical camera. The controller with the built in screen would be nice to have.

Ya the controller is cool, but I have a Gen 9 iPad for my Mini 2 & Mavic AIR 2. I wouldn't want to go from a 10inch scree, to a 5.5 inch screen.

got the mini 2 for my birthday a couple months ago. while i really like the specs and upgraded QOL features, i'm just a student who enjoys going around places in a different perspective. in other words, i'm simply using the drone as a hobby. though, there could be a chance to sell some stock footage. but the mini 2 still can hold itself especially with the price.

It's like anything in the techy world. The Mini 3 will be obsolete next year and we will want to buy the mini 4 series. It is very important to balance your priorities vs needs and resist the temptation to always have the latest gadgets on our hands.

Thanks Aldryn! Your video's are always very well done. Very easy to understand. Hope all is well with you and your family.

It doesn't even cross my mind to get a 3. My 2 is fine. Watching the 4k on a 70" TV still awes me. I fly the 2 daily and am glad I don't feel the need for more.

What I would like to know is when and if DJI is going to add support for the Mini 3 on the RC Pro. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

My guess would be once the sales slow down on the rc with the screen then they will update the firmware for it to work with the rc pro

Interesting comparison…. Definitely an upgrade from the Mavic Mini! Thanks again for an informative comparison. (Ps. Am hoping you checked your FlyPath mail as we sent you a note concerned over a possible scam on your site to check out. Two of us received the same messages regarding winning a mavic 3, with suspicious requests on paying shipping fees and avoiding direct questions on who was contacting us. As they say, offers too good to be true….). Keep up the great informative vlogs. Thank you 😎🇬🇧

Report those scammers

competition is always good for us consumers. If DJI didn't have any challenge from other company (especially Autel),we will never see this kind of big jump in specs in Mini 3.

@?????? it's not about market domination. it's about specs. Mini 3 Pro obviously DJI attempt to maintain it's dominance in small drone market. Mini 2 doesn't have stiff competition as Mini 3 facing right now. fortunately DJI act fast, not like some other giant brand (example : Samsung in smartphone market) who still dreaming about dominating market while other brand already catch-up with better spec and lower price.

Personally I feel like dji still doesn’t really have much competition, dji just absolutely dominates with like 95% market share

I have the Mini 2 and I’d love to upgrade, but my Mini 2 was $749 and the same kit for the Mini 3 Pro is $1229… That’s almost a $500 increase! As much as I want obstacle avoidance (among other features), I just can’t justify it at that price

@Eddslens For that price tag I’d expect upward obstacle avoidance sensors (like the Air 2S), a charging brick, and as a bonus, for the Mini 2 batteries to be compatible. It is packed with features but at almost $500 more that’s enough to buy a second drone (like the SE)

I think it’s a very fair price personally, it is stacked with features, obstacle avoidance is amazing, the nd filter system is way better, has focus track!! Hyperlapses ahh man so many features I can’t wait to use. Lower aperture so better low light footage, portrait shooting for social media posts! Upward pointing gimbal.. honestly it is a game changing drone and all for less than half the cost of my canon r6 body (without a lens) and that doesn’t fly through the sky. The results this drone will enable you to capture is well worth £1000 compared to any other kind of camera at that price range let alone one that flys :) it’s entirely dependant on the users needs but for £500 more I think it’s worth it

Love the relevance of your videos, this is what I have been struggling with. Thanks for the valuable insights!.

Can we expect a Mini 3 (not pro) at some point ? Would love to get a mini3 with new camera/gimbald but maybe without the sensors, but using the same battery as the mini2...

I have the Mavic 2 pro. Great drone, but I’m thinking about getting the mini 3 pro to take with me when I travel. Smaller and lighter would make it easier to travel around the world with and looks like a decent setup. I’ve never cared for obstacle avoidance as it seems more annoying to me than anything else. I fly in the sky, not next to obstacles

The range is ultra bad, it doesn't even reach 1km while the mini 2 gets up to 6 km

I just placed the order for Mini 2 Combo package for $450 from DJI as refurbished. I think this is a great price with the additional batteries and etc. I just can’t find the reason to pay 2x for the mini 3 for my own use.

@mike_HVAC Thanks! I had some experience with the original Mavic Pro (1st one) in the past and loved every bit of that. Very excited to be back to owning one again.

It's an amazing piece of tech for the price - you won't be disappointed.

I have the first Mavic Mini I bought a wee bit more than two years ago and been enjoying it very much. But now that there is a significant amount of new features with the Mini 3 Pro, I will definitely be getting the Combo soon. I have lots of accessories for the Mini One and in looking at the camera gimbal on the Mini 3 Pro, it doesn't llok like the filters from Mini 1 will fit the Mini 3.

while the 3 might be better I don't think the price spike is justifiable.

I still have the original DJI mini (not SE) and it's been good enough for what I do. Only thing I hate is the controller and lack of Occusync. Once that controller becomes compatible with other drones then I might take the leap.

@Up Shut Thanks for trying!

It currently only works with the mini 3 nothing else is allowed through the software if anything if they do decide to allow other drones it would not work with the Mavic 3 might work with The Mavic pro and the Mavic 2 Though probably not it certainly won’t work with the original mini or air (Both Wi-Fi only)it might work with the mini 2 and it might work with the air 2 and the air 2 S

Mini 2 was a MASSIVE game changer and step up from the original Mini for sure with the transmission that alone is completely worth the upgrade. Mini 1 was a great start but was junk compared to the Mini 2....I think the Mini 3 is not a mandatory upgrade but to me the Mini 2 was from the Mini 1. I know I don't miss my Mini 1 at all....but I love my Mini 2 and will never sell it and will also buy a Mini 3 because they are just such a great series drone now and vertical video for the win!

@Up Shut Can you please share that video with all of us?

@William Decker bullshit. I also have the mini one and use my android app just fine.

That was some good info right there! Didn't knew about a couple of features of Mini 3 Pro, but now, it seems that it is a great deal with plenty of astonishing features! I am 14 currently, and flying my Mini 2 since a year and two months, as of now! Reached a max distance, flight experience and total takeoffs of 475 km, 71 hrs and 875 takeoffs respectively! Looking forward to have this amazing invention!

@Benz0 Thanks, I hope so

I think they mean your enthusiasm/excitement (not in a bad way) 👍

@VG What does that mean? In which sense are you telling that?

I can tell you are 14 haha

I'll stick with my Mini 2 for now. Maybe in a year or 3 I'll get the Mini 3. I hardly use the Mini 2 as it is. If I were in the EU/UK I'd consider it strongly though. As always; good food for thought.

I sold my mini 2 for 150 and bought the Mavic 3. The mini 2 was an awesome drone. I did not like how it handled in the wind compared to my old Air 2. I sank the Air 2 in the bottom of a lake. LOL. The Mavic 3 fits me better than the small drones.

I will buy the Mini 3. Not now, though. I mean, the thing that I miss in Mini 2 is the active tracking feature. But I will not buy that new drone now. Maybe in 3 or 5 months. Until then I believe that I can still create great footages with Mini 2. And who knows? 800 bucks? I hope they will make it cheaper eventually...

Yep i'll wait, until they have the refurbished, Mini 3 deals out, & I can save $200. I have a 9th gen iPad for my Mini 2 & AIR 2, & can use either controller, so I'm just interested in the drone without the controller.

Have a mini 2 and if I were to upgrade, I’d go to air 2S. Mini 3 costs 2x as much as mini 2, really not a fair comparison.

It always depends on everybody needs and purposes. You can choose DJI Mini 1, 2 or 3, each have their own capabilities and accessories. I still think Mini 3 Pro is slightly overpriced because it shouldn´t be in that place, it canabalize Mavic 2 and Air 2s, so Mini 3 Pro position and price are misplaced. Dji couldn´t make the upgrades without increasing too much the price so they took the safe way by increasing significantly the price with fewer units, thats why the base version is already sold out, and people who order now will get their order in months from now.

@3D Models & Toys we gout the same thougts. Lets remove the backward firing sensors, normal small controller for a mini and it could allready cost a 200 less and skip the pro because pro should just be for 1inch or higher. Bigger sensor means more room for light and less noise. I mean these drones or for movie capture. Not to toy around in the garden like a fpv drone.

@Trouble Maker Thats my point, both Air 2s/Mavic 2 and Mini 3 pro currently are on the same price category with similar capabilities, its a bit confusing. Thats why Mini 3 pro shouldnt be in that position, it should have been named "Mini 3" and have a bit less features and be a little cheaper from what it costs now.

In my opinion, mini 3 are packed with capabilities on air2s which means it seems like Air2S mini. So I think it is not misplaced.

I have been flying the Mini 2 for a while now and still LOVE IT. But how could I not pick up the 3!!!!!!

I'm not a pro and my flying is for pleasure/social media. I am satisfied with my Parrot Anafi with one exception, transmission strength. I just purchased the Mini 2 ($450) to deal with situations where WiFi interference makes flying the Anafi an issue. Camera's on both of these drones are very good, the Anafi has tracking and waypoints so there was nothing about the Mini 3 that made it a must have for me.

great review! I'm a hobbyist wanting to start shooting international documentaries (just as a hobby). I have the mini 2 and really like it. I love DJI but yikes, the cost is easily double what you can get the mini 2 (fly more combo) for. I see that the images are "better" but not that much better. I'm planning on using the mini 2 until it's warranty is out, then, depending upon how much I actually end up using drones for filming, would consider the mini 3 in a year or two. Thanks again for a very practical review.

When it comes to the price increase over the Mini 2 , one has to keep in mind the current high rate of inflation globally. Did anyone really expect DJI to add all these extra features while keeping the price close to the Mini 2?

I have the Mini 2 and as much as I want the DJI Mini 3 pro. I don’t use the mini 2 enough to justify upgrading. I mean I definitely want to get that vertical shooting mode to be able to sell that service in my business but I’m gonna wait until I obviously need to upgrade before I do. In the meantime the Mini 2 works fine for me!

@Jake Krause yeah I thought there could be a a trick he doesn’t know about, or some editing to make it happen.

@cwuzii no he said that in the video

I’m going to wait a bit also, I don’t fly as much as I used to and my drones tend to age out tech wise before they wear out. Some of the new tech is nice, but I’ll just wait and see.

Can you do vertical video with a mini 2?

I think I'll stick with my Mini 2 for now. Got everything I need right here.

I’m sticking to the mini 2 till something drastic happens to it

Hi, I just want to know about programmable waypoints to be able to do mapping for the mini 3 pro. Any thoughts on this?

Not implemented.

I'm looking into getting a drone for casual use and wanted to ask if the mini 3 would be a good beginner drone for a new flyer?

Does the "HDR" function work when using the D-Cenelike gamma? Or,...does DJI simply "bake-in" their pre-color graded HDR look into a normal contrast rec709 profile? This is important because HDR leaves room for color grading but only if it's baked into a flat profile. If it's baked into a high contrast profile, then there is nothing that can really be done to it in post.

You make a good point about how much we even use our Mini 2. Mine is mostly a backup for my Air 2s, so I wouldn't probably replace it with the Mini 3 Pro, but would it possibly replace my Air 2s? All the footage and photos I'm seeing from it look great. Is the 48MP photo claim legit? I know I'd lose the upward sensors, but what other downside would there be? Thanks for all the great videos. You've been busy!

Aside from the upwards sensors, you’re looking at smaller camera sensor, 8-bit color profile as supposed to 10-bit on the Air 2S, but probably the most important downside is wind resistance. The Air 2S is a beast in strong winds. I actually just flown mine today in the deserts of Nevada at 1000ft altitude and although i was keep getting strong wind warnings, the Air 2S kept it’s position and crisp camera view the whole time! Ps: i had it up there for no more then 1-2minutes and quickly brought it down to under 400ft. I’m not one to break the law, but i’ve had an itch to take it higher in the sky for quite some time😁

Useful video. Thanks. Correct me if I'm wrong. You really need to buy the Fly more kit if you want to fly cos the package doesn't include a battery charger? Also, is there an option to buy the charger and extra batteries without buying the kit? To me this package that doesn't come with a charger sounds a bit tricky. Not sure if I want to upgrade to 3 from 2.

The Mini 2 does everything I need except cope with wind. And there has been a lot of wind lately. The Mini 3 is supposed to be slightly better in the wind. But enough to matter? I don't know. If I can't fly, all the other things like sensors and cameras are no help. What I want is a bigger drone, more wind resistance ability.

Mavic air 2s then. Bigger body & better camera sensor

I am still using my mini 1. Love it. If I was to upgrade it would be to a magic air 2. Won’t bother with a mini 3.

@Jan-Willem Hopman yeah and if you're in UK... ITS ALWAYS WINDY

Same here, love the mini but it's still a small drone. Not very stable when there is a bit of wind.

mini 1 gang

Ive the mini 2 , just got the mini 3 to see how it goes , Sticking with the 2 for sure 😆 it’s not very good ‘3’ I also got the dji fpv. Now that’s a kick arse drone!

So I really would love to upgrade to the mini pro 3, but since the price is so close to the Air 2s. Which would you pick, size, weight doesn't matter.

I have the Refurbished AIR 2 Fly More Combo, I purchased with the Care Refresh Plan for $714 shipped, I would argue that the current Refurbished Mavic AIR 2 Fly More Combo from Drone Nerds $669 is the best deal out on a awesome drone.

Thanks for taking the time as always. Happy Flying!

Thank you for the great comparison. When you were talking about Occusync w 2 and 3. Are you saying that if you use the Mini 2 controller with the Mini 3 Pro craft are you limited to Occusync 2? The reason I ask is that I thought that the Mini 3 pro uses and is selling with the same controller as the one for the Mini 2? Thanks.

on the fence. Information still missing: Does the higher mpix count hurt the 4k video? is it lineskipping, binned or oversampled? How is the picture quality? The autel seems to have a problem in raw with green, here too?

The thing that no one seem to recognize is that the camera of the dji mini 3 PRO is no protected. If the drone crashes the camera will have direct contact with the object and on th other hand the camera of the mini 2 is protected by the litle plastic that is overlapping the camera

I have a Mini 1 (original). One of the big attractions of the Mini 3 for me is the new controller. One of the reasons I don't fly my Mini 1 more is because I get a lot of spam calls and I figure one will occur at the worst possible time. Any thoughts?

@Wiseguy Smith Good idea, thanks.

I have a mini 2 and I always put my phone in airplane mode while flying.

3rd party apps were good for the mini 2 because there were more features like follow and tracking....these are included in the min 3 so there is no need for a 3rd party app anymore....

Conclusion: If you want to moove on from a Mini 2,go for an Air 2 S

Not if you're trying to avoid registering and licensing

Thank you very much. As a mini 2 owner I prefer to wait few months for the price to drop and accessories to be available.

Always great videos. Thanks for sharing!

the problem is they made the mini 2 too good. the answer to this question for 99% of the people that bought and are loving their mini 2 is not just no but HELL NO. wait till black friday and pick one up if they have a crazy good sale.

47 minute battery would be well worth the upgrade for me. But not available in most countries including in the USA. Keeping my mini 2 with variouse available software mods. At this price point why not just go with refurbished Air 2s. Air 2s is superior and yet I still dont see it enough superior to my Mini 2.

Short, sharp, to the point. Great video

Flypath Im still waiting my mini 3 fly more combo, but while letting go my mini 2 set, can you advise which bag that come with the combo had the larger capacity for mini 3 complete fly more accessories?

Great video as per. Just the one question about the rc pro controller, will we be able to connect our phone to it for the fpv Goggles.

looks like a great mini drone ;) thanks for this informative review!

Will the mini 2 batteries fit the 3? I don't want to spend another $1,100 for another fly more combo. My 2 was like $800 out the door with the fly more combo and everything. I'd upgrade if they would be compatible

no

The mini 2 does have forward obstacle avoidance and two sensors right there on the front smaller, but in much the same place as the mini 3.

I understand that the mini 3 can withstand some rather strong Winds. That is important for where I live, which is in a valley running north to south, which attracts wind.

definitely worth it just because obstacle avoidance... its a must for me since my mini 2 crashed with an antena in a construction site... never saw it again

The question for me, is it an upgrade from the Air 2S?

As much as I want that 4K 60fps and 1080P 120fps, I just spent $600 on the Mini 2 fly more combo one year ago. The new one by itself is $800 and the flymore is still an additional $180 to 250. Im going to wait til next year and get the non pro mini 3 I’m sure they’ll release, maybe it’ll just have the upgraded camera without all the new sensors. We know there’s still a market for cheaper drones without collision avoidance.

Odds of another DJI drone without collision avoidance is slim to none. They lost way too much money replacing crashed mini 2’s through DJI Refresh. Don’t hold your breath on a non pro model.

I'm thinking about getting my first drone. I'm choosing between the Mavic Air 2s vs. the Mini 3 Pro. Which one should I get?

I’m asking myself the same thing… I’m just an amateur no professional coming from the mini so don’t Want to bother registering and paying FAA every couple of years. Just like the smaller package the mini 2/3 offers so that’s what I’ll stick with

As with most DJI upgrades the main focus is on the camera. I enjoy flying my drone and later looking at the videos that I have taken but, I am not a photographer and do not post videos to media. I do not possess a 107 license nor do I want one. The only advantage I see for a person like myself would be the controller. Is that worth $500 to me? Also optical avoidance front back and down seems like it would have been better to have it on the sides as that is where you are most likely to have a crash. Other than that I enjoy my mini 2 and will not upgrade until I see upgrades in the app and a controller w/video feed that will work with all DJI drones. By the way I still enjoy flying my spark that has optical avoidance.

Thinking about it..will my smart controller that I use on both my Mavic Zoom and Mini 2 work with this new platform?

I have bought mini 2 fmc few months ago on the 2year loan there is no chance I'm getting this one now, and for my small once a year travel few mi from home on vacation, it more then enough. Mini 3 Pro is the best mini drone out there.

Thanks for the great video - I have a Mini 2 and need an extra Video out from the controller for a spotter - does the new RC controller give HDMI or WiFi video out anyone?

love my mini 2 but if something were to happen, it's nice to know I have a controller and can just swap it out with the mini 3 drone only purchase

I love my Mini 2. Mini 3 is nice but not worth almost twice the price. If DJI could've pulled this off for $600, they'd have my wallet.

What is your opinion on getting the Mini 3 Pro if you have the Mavic Air 2? Almost the same specs, only slightly larger sensor on the mini, but the weight and size (and al the drone laws that comes with them) makes me thinking about up / side-grading. (and selling MA2)

as somebody looking to buy their first drone within the next month would you recommend the Mini 2 or Mini 3.

I currently have a mini 2 love it. But I crashed it and I'm having trouble getting it fixed and not sure what dji will charge (one prop doesn't spin) Two questions I'm not clear on: 1) does the mini 2 remote get the same distance as the new remote with mini 3? Or does the new controller enable it to have more flight distance? 2) are the mini 2 batteries compatible? Or were those new batteries that gave it longer life? Thanks

Habe you found the answer to batteries?

Around 2:50. I have an Air 2S as well as a mini 2. You can preorder just the mini 3 for around $660. I already have two controllers that should work fine with the mini 3. So, at $660, it is almost within my budget. Just have to save up a little more cash before this summer. Also, I watched your video comparing video quality of the DJI drones and the Autel. I think the quality of both my Air 2S and mini 2 are superior to the mini 3. I have a really nice large monitor so I could really see the difference. Perhaps, the mini 3 just needs an update to bring the video quality up? Since my Air 2S has OcuSync 3.0, I'm assuming that I can use my controllers with the mini 3 using OcuSync 3.0?

I'll wait till late fall, maybe black Friday. I get beautiful footage, with my mini 2, so I'm pretty good, for now. But all the same, I'm looking forward to it.

I just got mini 2. I love it. But I would love to use the mini 3. It's so prefect!

I love how he talks about the mini 3 like anyone can just go out and get one now. Your going to be waiting a month for the mini 3 with the crazy expensive remote, and 2-3 months for the base setup.

The 3 is tempting but I don’t have quite the same drive to buy it as I did from the Mini 1 to the Mini 2

It is an awesome drone- However, I don't need a second drone and my mini 2 is just perfect for what I can do. I have never been the one to get stuff just to get it. Great video thx

Very informative thanks 👍🏻

Excellent Comparison Video. Thank You.

I don't have the mini2 but have the Nano+ but the mini3 still looks enticing. What are your thoughts?

Best video on this subject I've seen 😃 thank you.
