A drone doesn’t exist until it’s reviewed by the Captain. Thank you
Thank you kindly
I second that! The only thing that seems cool about the mini 3 to me is how well it shoots at night and how well it auto tracks you. I wouldn’t buy it though simply because the sticker price is too steep and I never shoot videos at night. The hubsan zino mini se so far is pretty good Already for tracking. Does the mini 3 track objects ok? The hubsan does a great job of tracking people but not rc cars or trucks 🛻. So far it seems a lot of the tracking devices do not track objects well only people.
I have the dji mini 2 and on my last flight where I tried for great distance, I went from glass house lookout to mount Tibrogargan in Queensland Australia. It is a rural area and I was mainly flying over farmland and I went out to 5070 metres and still had good connection. I fly to just the other side of the mountain as I didn’t want to lose signal, instead I looked around and down to see how good of a view I’d get on the other side of the mountain. I stuffed around with that for a few minutes just hovering in the one spot. And then I realised that my batteries were getting towards the half way mark. so I just let it self return. Didn’t even bother watching all the way and a friend turned it around to see where it was coming from, which I don’t believe you can do with the mini 3 pro. At one point after I took over I thought it wasn’t still coming back home and then I looked at the screen, and it had a message saying it was auto landing, that was at about 1700 metres out and still over a field. So I stopped the auto descend and started flying it back manually and after a while I noticed that it was starting to drop again, so I had to keep pushing it up. By the time it was about 150 metres out the batteries were reading zero percent, but it still made it back, luckily. If I hadn’t been just hovering over the top of the mountain and looking down the other side and around for a few minutes it probably wouldn’t have started to go down where it started to. I learnt a valuable lesson that day , don’t just sit there hovering for a few minutes. Glad I got it back, but I won’t be trying to get that sort of distance again lol.
Hi Steve, the Mini 2 has one additional advantage over the Mini 3. The Mini 2 can use the Mini 1 Li-Ion batteries that can be kept at full charge so that one can fly immediately without waiting to charge the Li-Pol Mini 2 batteries. This does take the Mini 2 over 250g, but it's not an issue if the Mini 2 is FAA registered in the USA.
How do you get those batteries,
Contrary to what a couple of viewers have mentioned recently, I love your opening intros !
I also like the pointer graphics you use when referring to, say, a button or feature.
You find ways to make comparisons fun and fair.
Thanks for all you do !😃
Thank you!
That's the best real world comparison I've seen and matches my own findings (I have both drones) well done Steve.
Check our Jake Sloan's Comparison - also really good. ruclips.net/video/Gs6R8pMai2k/видео.html
Mini 2 is really one of the best drones of DJI like legendary Spark... Thank you Steve for good comparison..
Another exceptional Video by the World Renowned Captain Drone!!!! Thank You Steve. Cant wait for part 4!!!!!
Thank you kindly!
What would have been interesting to see: link the mini 2 controller with the mini 3 and fly around the school, to see if it would be as controllable as the mini 2. From videos from other testers one could come to the conclusion that it is the combination of the rc controller with the mini 3 that works less good than the mini2 controller with the mini 3.
I appreciate the honest appraisals of everything you present. I currently have the Mini 2 and am looking for reasons to add the Mini 3 with the RC controller. You have given me some good reasons to rob the piggy bank. Thanks for the review and cheers from Wisconsin.
Thank you
I bought the Mini 2 flymore combo, goes great with the mavic air 2. Great video Captain 🧑✈️ thanks ☺️
Outstanding review as always. I chose the mini 2 flymore myself. Great buy. Thanks for the review
I've been flying the Mavic Mini for quite a while now so when it's time for an upgrade, it was an easy choice bet the 2. I drove back home with the Mini 3 Pro in hand! I want to experience the tech and everything my Mini can't do!
Excellent production and editing. Very informative. Thanks.
DJI owes you for helping clear out their mini 2 inventory. Sage review of the capabilities of both these minis. I think the mini 2 could satisfy 90% of the first time users of a camera drone. Ditto on the prior comment “a drone doesn’t exist until the Captain reviews it”.
Been waiting for this. Thanks. Think I'm gonna stick with my Mini 2 for now
I do like the obstacle avoidance so I would opt for the 3. Thanks Steve!
Nicely done! As someone looking for their first drone (largely to add to some travel and hiking videos) both would work and the $ saved on the 2 make it the best value. I liked the 3’s low light capability, more so for cloudy days however. Leaning more towards the 2 simply for value and it’s overall very similar performance, but the tracking feature on the 3 may sway that!
I sold my Mini 2 to get the Mini 3 Pro! I knew I had a great drone with the Mini 2 but not once did I regret getting the Mini 3 Pro! The drone is a work in progress but a potent camera drone nonetheless!
Being usable on the RC pro is defintely an attractive feature, so I look forward to adding one (or two) to the fleet. Nice series, and thanks for the quality work.
Another great review. Thanks for your time and hard work in making these.
Thank you
My Autel with built-in screen on the remote was my normal go to drone for quick video captures. Since this drone is much smaller and has a built-in screen it's perfect for line of site and close captures.
Excellent Comparison Video. Thank You Steve.
Hats off too you Captain Drone - that was a great video and not seen anything like this on RUclips - Brilliant & Thanks fpr your hard work (UK)
Thanks a ton
Excellent review Cap as always.
Thank you
Loving this mini 3 pro series.....this has been the most awaited drone it deserves a muti review
Thank you
One the best comparison videos I've ever watched.. thanks
Glad you liked it!
Fantastic comparison testing of both drones Steve helps the newbie flyers and also people without the extra cash to get into the hobby both are excellent 249-gram drones. I am personally still a bit sceptical about the new RC for the Mini 3 Pro which I own I wish they had attached antennas on the RC like the DJI Pro controller.
Wow, very precise comparison! I had been with SE for a while the typical 12mp carries lots noise when englarged view. Just upgraded to 3 pro last weeks hope it will be well utilized while still fond of SE.
I like the Mini 3 because I can adjust a lot of features like iso and shoot D-cinelike which I like over the mini 2. Plus having the obstacle avoidance censor on the mini 3 has saved me a lot.
Great review of penetration test on bothe drone+controller and video photo comparisons!
Great Review Steve, I have to admit I still love my MINI 2 👊💯
Great!, can't wait to see nano Evo plus vs dji mini 3 comparison
Great comparison as usual
Fantastic review. As my predecessor wrote you can't review a drone until 'captain drone' has reviewed it. That can really be taken as a compliment. Take for example a totally nonsensical distance test that many do, no one cares about that but flying around a building in difficult ambient conditions is of course much more of value. What I noticed is how good the camera of mini 2 is under good lighting conditions.
Thank you for the comments
Thanks for your recent replies to help me out, I have decided to sell some things "not the kids, no takers" and going to get the Protek R25 and the Jumper T Pro ELRS. Have some cash spare for a couple of batteries too. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Hopefully I wont be too scared to fly it still once I get it.
Great review, as usual 👏
"Looks like a frog"! LOL, that was brilliant! I'm glad you mentioned it as no doubt many people choose a drone based on its batrachian resemblance,
Excellent comparison. DJI sets new standards with the mini 2 and 3
Great photo comparisons! The noise on the Mini 2 is real but the Mini 3 never seems to focus!
Excellent video! Thank you 👍
awesome video as usual. thank you
Another great video, and another one where you fail to mention the remote with the screen is a US$150 option. That makes the difference in price US$500 for the Fly More combos, enough for another Mini 2 as a backup! I'd still like to see a test with the default controller on the Mini 3.
Well done Captain!; I am sure there are a lot troops out there who were looking for this comparison to make an informed decision as to which Drone suits there needs both technically and financially; just to throw a curved ball into the discussion, I recently purchased a Mini 1 with the updated Firmware (Pro Camera) and have done some comparisons with the Mini 2 (have ordered the Mini 3 so cant compare) and the video results are astounding (in favour of the cheaper Mini1!!) ; yes the Mini 2 is only ever so slightly better at 4k however the Mini 1 with the upgrade is a compelling purchase and the connectivity is still "simple" on the older WIFI transmission with equal (from my tests here in Melbourne ) results to the Mini 2!; last but not least, your opening Video sequences are superb!! ; feels like we about to watch a Cecil B. De Mille movie !!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Many of my friends still have & use the mini 1 and are very happy with the camera results. Thank you very much for your comment.
Nice review Steve, however the Mini 3 photo/video is superior to the Mini 2. I have had my Mini 2 flymore for 10 months now, very happy with it. So for now i will have to stick with the Mini 2. Great comparison, on a rather windy day. 👍🙂
Hi Steve....You needed a phone booth to make the transformation into DJI FANBOY....LOL...I was almost afraid there was going to be a crash behind the school due to screen latency. Nice part three video..........👍
Thank you & the phone booth is on back order
I like the penetration test, and it's the reason I'm keeping my Mini2 and not buying the Mini3. Hopefully the next DJI release will be something with good penetration, great range, and a smart controller with Antenna's again so you don't have to hold it up in the air to get more range. I wonder if someone will get creative and create a way to install antenna's on this new controller, it would be pretty easy to do, and if you got the range and penetration increase that real antennas provide it would be awesome.
The 2 firmware version examples are for the 3 pro so it says, nice to know the 3 pro will work with the DJI RC-N1 Controller, that will save some money. Good video thanks.
Again ... Informative and funny as well Captain Spielberg! THX ¶ ; - )
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good comparison Video Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it
Interesting comparison, I've noticed my Mini 3 when recording in hot weather can sometimes begin recording the video out of focus as you have mentioned, hasn't done this in cooler climates...so far....
Nice review. Good job. Happy Flying
Excellent video,mini 2 seems overall a very good option
it would be nice to see a comparison of mini 3 pro vs mavic air 1, similar size, the same number of sensors, it would give you the opportunity to actually feel the development of technology or it may turn out to be just marketing gimmicks the same technology in a smaller package (if we do not take into account less weight mini 3 and better camera) 😄
Mini 3 almost dive bombed by the bird at 11:56
Great test, I've been weighing up getting a mini 3 but the mini 2 does what I need for now.
good comparison, for video more natural dji mini 2 and better for signal quality, it doesn't mean mini 3 is bad, there are advantages, there are definitely disadvantages, mini2 has minimal sensor obstacles
Another great informative unbiased review 👍🏾
Much appreciated
once the sdk is out for the mini 3 i can see it being top notch, as long as you dont buy the RC version which cant sideload apps compared to the n1 and a tablet/phone which you can load apps like dronelink, litchi etc so we can do missions.
16:00 That's some trippy music Steve .
Super informative review 👍
Don't know what other new features DJI will add to the Mini 3 Pro through future updates but I'm pretty sure it will make the drone more worth the money I paid for it!
Nice video 😊 , liked & subscribed, thanks for sharing ‼️
Welcome to the channel
Really useful. Thank you 👍
You had me at “it looks like a frog”
Great review Cap!!! Obstacle Avoidance and the RC controller is the only thing for me. The mini2 is also an older drone, and being a android user. I'm probably better off with the dedicated controller. I also heard if you use the Litchi app on the mini2 it voids out the care refresh. Don't know if that's true or not. I think if you did the penetration test 10 times and on different days. You will get some better results and some worse results, but because of the controller. The mini2 would still probably win.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE VIDEO MY FRIEND WAS AWESOME👍, FANTASTIC,✌ THANKS FOR SHARING😊
Thank you
Well as I heard you said. You have to point the control to the drone position and I don't see you turning to the drone when the drone lost some of the signal on the mini 2. Btw nice drone review channel. Thanks and keep going.
Great range/penetration test. Fair and honest in a realistic setting.
Fanboys have no grounds to complain.
Great video, btw mini 2 gets better night performance if you set it on 24 fps !
Can you please do a review of the Litchi software with the mini 2 (preferably on Android)? I've seen a wide variety of opinions, but would take yours over all others.
I already have the mini 2 along with a hard Case hard Cases is better than the bag you get when it comes to protection the travel bag that comes with the combo pack
Really nice set up
Another great review 👍👍✌️
Thanks 👍
Great subjective review Steve - thanks. The focal length of the Mini 3 will produce a smaller depth of field and I've found that the autofocus on the Mini 2 is much, much faster than the Mini 3. You have to hold the button down until you hear the beep on the Mini 3 before focus will lock and if you just press the button fully down the results are never the best. Interestingly my RTH button didn't work yesterday :-(
DJI was supposed to fix the focus issue so that AUTO FOCUS worked 100%. Unfortunately the AUTOFOCUS is unreliable, but I’m sure one day it will be 100% fixed.
Nice footage
Awesome video captain drone, please also review dji mini 4 pro thank you
Cap! Once again awesome videos
I m lovely following your videos . Thanks
Man I love that intro music
A very nice set of tests, but I suspect the Mini 3 penetration test is hampered by the DJI RC controller. When the Mini 3 is eventually(!) compatible with the RC PRO, I'm guessing it will be much better.
I think it’s cuz the antennas aren’t exposed as well on the dji rc. I’ve heard it does better using the standard controller
Love it 😍
Cap could you do a in-depth vid. Of the Dji mavic 3?
I have done several vids on it
Great channel great information
Much appreciated
Nice video 👏
Mini 2 has quick transfer. It was first DJI drone with this function.
Really stabil and smooth 😍😍
Good evening captain nice review cool drones
Thank you
my takeaway: penetration is better than distance. I've had a Mini 2 for a bit and I'm quite happy with it (with filters and a Yagi-Uda antenna). I may get a mini 3 if I start making money with my drone. In the absence of that, the mini 2 is awesome
Does the yagi antenna improves the signal on the Mini 2?
@@NishaanAhmed Yes! But be careful.. I'm scared the battery is not enough to RTH
Hi Great Video I love my mini 2 One Love
ultimate review sir between the 2 drones! what happened to the drones that you had reviewed did you sell it?
I have a small storage area so I sell off or give away the many products I review to make room for new ones. I only sell to people I know locally.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 wow! What are your thoughts about fimi x8se ver 2 is it recommended for aerial photography if we compare dji mini 2 ? undecided...thanks
@@nim358 These are my thoughts: ruclips.net/video/-giv7cjrOdQ/видео.html
I would have to guess that if you use the mini 2 and Mini 3 Pro both with the N1 controller that the results would have been better with the mini three Pro rather than using the new controller and it's handicap antenna issue...
You are doing a great job kid, keep up the good work! LMAO!
The Mini 3's 1.7 Aperture produced brighter colors and sky in pretty much every video and photo here, compared to the smaller 2.4 aperture on the Mini 2. Assuming you were shooting in auto, that's noteworthy.
Hello Captain this is my first time ever leaving you a message I am just curious what kind of results would you get if you use the mini 3 with the mini 2 controller in terms of reception? Would it be the same, worse or better reception?
It would be better than the remote with integrated display.
You would get the better signal with whatever controller/RC is being used to fly the mini 3.
I just realized that’s Millennium park. I’ve had my drone out there a few times. I’m closer to the elementary school on Provence and Valin. Howdy neighbour!
Back at ya neighbour
Hi Captain Steve ! Very good content as always....waiting for part 4 !!! ....as yiarkungfu said " A drone doesn’t exist until it’s reviewed by the Captain ".... well that's the truth !....i think the Autel Evo Nano + will beat the Mini 3....greetings from Romania
Thank you
FYI, I have the mini 1,2, &3. I love all of them but the mini 2 is very good, the 3 is also very good. They are all okay for what they are. I have never had an issue with any of them.
Focus was far better on mini 3. Mini 2 had all in focus but not very good. Zoom were both okay but not excellent. Mini 3 obviously better at low light.
I am pleased to know you saved the home because that is more than ANYTHING. Home is #1 and thank GOD you saved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ray C.Thanks for all this work!!
P.S. I love the freewell nd's!!!!!
Thank you
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I still love the work you do for all of us. You are okay feller Cap.
Great comparison! If someone plans to film in low light definitely go for the mini 3 - I have a mini 2 and can confirm the footage in low light is pretty much unusable.
I do have the litchi app and it works well with the GPS follow mode however the "tracking" mode does not so if you are just tracking yourself based on the GPS/Controller it will work fine but tracking other things by "sight" fails easily and better off manually flying those shots.
How do you like the Waypoints in Litchi?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 TBH I have not used waypoints - I never seem to be in a situation where they would be helpful. I really got litchi for the gps follow to do some bike video. Tested it (video on my channel) a couple times using my convertible but waiting for a cooler spell to shoot the bicycle version now that I have the handlebar mount for the controller.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 waypoints are awesome with litchi. Better with dji drones for photogrammetry using go app so the mission is uploaded to the drone memory so even if you loose the connection, the drone will carry on the mission to the end instead of a rth.
Nice intro 👌 much love from south african ❤
Thank you 🙌
It’s unfortunate the signal penetration of the 3 is weaker…I’ve never owned the 2, but I have and like the 3. Good vid again. 🍻.
But that was with the rc pro. Im pretty sure the results would be better with the standard one.
Hello captain drone. can you do a review of the new drone called KF106 / DK2 Pro which is similar in shape to dji mavic 3. I want to know if it has a sd-card slot? how long does it fly and how far to fly? thank you
